  2. Coping With Social Anxiety
    last night, I was walking around campus and broke down crying, I thought that if I got some sleep I would be better but I guess not.

    I moved away from my mother late 2020. Our housing situation fell apart and we both went opposite ways; she went away to stay with more family, and I left to move in with my boyfriend. She's got her own issues she's trying to find help with (depression, borderline, etc), and I keep in touch with...
  16. Family and Friends
    I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years now. I have never been in a long term relationship and somehow this one worked out.
