Even if you are a bad friend, sometimes it takes extreme measures to maintain your sanity and the sanctity of your day to day life, and I don't think you should beat yourself up about it.

Yeah, but it's one of those things where I think "oh I need more friends/nobody likes me" although I'm the one who is probably pushing everyone away. And it's an old trait, so I feel used to it.
I'm not even that introverted or antisocial. I like talking to people.
So, I haven't really looked for a job, but one that was perfect and about 20 minutes away from an Orthodox Church in the mountains is ushering me through the interview process. It's as the chef at a very small resort and trailhead and bike paths in the mountains. I can't think of anything better for boys who need more exercise and suffer desperately from environmental allergies. I'm afraid of a big change, but hope it's the right thing and I can fulfill the role properly. My brother rides there and has been really encouraging.
I have been praying for an appropriate change that wouldn't put my family right back into the suburbs of Atlanta. We had a really hard time in that environment. Please keep us in your prayers. Sometimes I'm afraid I'm going to die fat and alone in the wilderness from fear of just, getting out.
I didn't get it. The bus doesn't go to the mountain top, apparently.
It's not that big of a deal. I wasn't really looking, it was just a cool and possibly fitting opportunity.
I'm not quite sure how a public school system can opt not to pick the children up, though. I understand not being a good fit, but the idea of just, not providing a educational option in a country where it's a basic civil right is beyond me.
This is kind of a random question, but how much of our current cultural climate is due to birth control? I know there's a lot of "birth control in the water is making SOYBOYS," but I've been reading a lot of threads about women having huge mood/libido changes while on birth control.
I was on it for a few months when I was younger and it resonates a lot with me, because I just thought I was crazy.
(And yes I realize it's a feature, not a bug)

At the stage of pregnancy where everything is irritating… my biggest pet peeve right now is parents at the playground who say “be careful” or “be safe” every 5 minutes. Kids 5-7 years old, afraid of climbing and even discouraging other kids from doing so! I can’t stand this modern world, I’m not even that old yet and it’s already so different than when I grew up. I really shouldn’t complain since we now live in a neighborhood of active, country kids instead of the suburbs, but it sure is jarring to be around the general public sometimes… did everyone collectively forget what it was like to be a kid?
That’s a really good point, and from personal and anecdotal experience, BC has a huge impact on emotional state/mental health, and the method of delivery can make a big difference also (implant vs patch vs pill). When I was a medical normie pre-Covid, I stupidly agreed to an IUD during a post-partum appointment. I experienced rage, like seeing-red pure anger, like never before or since. It was awful, and it tanked my milk supply! The best part is, my 40-something female OBGYN tried to tell me that there were “no studies that proved IUDs caused weight gain or emotional issues” and that she had one and was just fine. Ok lady. Is that why search engines prepopulate results like “does Mirena make me fat… angry…. emotional…?” Etc? I don’t even need to look for studies to validate that synthetic hormones are a horrible idea. Actually, most (being generous because in my experience, all) OBGYNs are insensitive, against natural methods, and absolute drug pushers for kickbacks. I am so thankful I made major perspective changes between my 1st and 2nd baby and found a Catholic nonprofit OBGYN and used birth centers ever since.
Sorry for going off on a tangent, I just think it’s really criminal what they push on women during our most vulnerable times (teens and post partum especially) and being that this is so widespread, it absolutely does have a effect.
I went home for the first time in a while last week, to visit my brother and for my children to see their grandparents, one of whom was having invasive surgery this week, and their father, who is in rehab.
My brother, who is ... All boy ... Told me he is cheating on his wife with one of my old friends, and furthermore, it looked like she's okay with it, as long as he sends her on vacation with their daughter. While I was there, the partner of another friend from childhood overdosed and died. My friend, his partner died last spring.
Please pray for our cities and the temptations that challenge Godly behavior. And for the babies.

I need something bubblegum pink in my prayer corner. Is that terrible? I need it in the sunrise. What should I do?
Dyed egg? Flowers? Prayer rope? Cloth?
Do any of you other ladies ever feel Weltschmerz? Like the world is just too evil and you´re just complicit in too much of it to actually be a good person? It´s something I struggle with so much and I just don´t know how to cope.
Those Germans have a word for everything
Yes, we do.
If I may ask what could you be consuming to make you feel this way? How often do you recite prayers by the saints?
There was a time I felt overwhelmed with all the evil in this world.
That's not healthy.
Unplug from the internet, repent and go to confession, then get out in the garden. Getting your hands in the dirt cures depression and German complexes too.
I´m literally a gardener, I´m outside for hours every day. That´s not the issue anymore.That's not healthy.

I get what you´re saying but all of this bad stuff is so inescepable now, unless you live in the forest somewhere you´re going to come across it even on very little screentime.
Hi @Causanostraelaetitiae. This is why I initially asked, "what could you be consuming to make you feel this way?" Could you expand on how you come across "all of this bad stuff even on very little screentime?" Just curious.
This made me laugh being one fourth German.
