I made a post a good while ago about questioning whether or not I’m just quirky because I wasn’t loved as a child and need attention or genuinely something along the lines of trans. And I’m afraid it’s the latter. I’ve given it lots of thought and I do genuinely think I would be more comfortable if I were a man than a woman. And I hate it. I already have issues talking to people, let alone if I would have to explain the whole issue of yknow… being in the interphase of a man and a woman? Plus I wish to keep up relationships with my family members, but that would become impossible if anything of the sort was to be noticed.
And with all of this, I say I hate it. If even online I don’t have the courage to say that I’m a guy, instead opting for “choose your own pronouns for me lol”, I could never actually commit to it. And since it’s been put into a thought and left simmering for a while, it’s pretty obviously a fully formulated idea that I can’t exactly deny.
Where do I go from now? Where can I even go? Would it be better to just ignore this and gaslight myself into ignoring whatever issues?

Just want to post this here to warn the parents.
We just got a phone call in the middle of the night from some guy who was pretending to be a local sheriff in the LSU area our son is currently living. He said our kid had been arrested with some “non-athletes” and unlabeled prescription drugs were found and we needed to pay for a bond immediately for his release. My wife googled the phone number and it even traced back to LSU’s police / jail phone number.
He managed to have a lot of information about my son (I think due to the fact that the team and his overall information are regularly shown on tv).
Luckily my daughter was able to read into it being a scam and myself as well after I began to ask more questions. He wanted us to pay for a bond using Apple Pay, google pay, Venmo, or Zelle which was the biggest red flag.
We managed to get our son to answer his phone and he was shocked at how crazy the situation was since he was at home in bed.
Just thought I’d give out a PSA.

This happened in the morning and I still can't stop thinking about it.
So to clarify I can't eat boiled / cooked carrots, I don't know why but the texture makes me vomit, just having them in mu mouth makes me nauseous. My mom and my sister know this, they have for years.
Today I arrived at work as usual, packed away my lunch and waited until mid-day to sit down and eat: chicken on a creamy sauce and white rice, but the rice had carrots, cooked carrots. This big chunks mixed in with it. I sat there for a good ten minutes just looking at the thing because I can't physically eat it, in the end I just ate the chicken but I was honestly so upset I had to force it down.
When I arrived home both my mom and my sister asked me if I had liked lunch as it was a new recipe but the only thing I could picture was the carrots, I told them, asked them why were there carrots on the rice and they told me they had forgotten. My mom even seemed upset I hadn't eaten the whole dish but I can't! I can't eat it! They shrugged it off and I guess I was supposed to shrug it off too, I mean it's just rice but its the middle of the night now and I can't sleep thinking on it. The whole day I have been asking myself how could they forget I can't eat carrots.
After thinking about it I'm upset for a few reasons:
1) It's not the first time this has happened, earlier this year it was the same thing with a salad. Huge chunks of carrots I just can't eat.
2) Earlier on the day my sister warned she had bought some lettuce I didn't like in case I wanted a sandwich, this was because her boyfriend preferred that one, but that she would buy the other kind later in the week. This was fine at the time but now I just keep thinking, how is it that she goes out of her way to buy a crappy sort of lettuce for a guy she has known for 5 years but remembering your brother physically can't eat carrots twice in 5 months is just too much work?
3) Neither of them were even remotely apologetic, they just shrugged me off and got offended that I didn't eat the fucking rice.
I honestly think I'm overthinking but I can't stop thinking about it, I haven't eaten anything since and I am too upset to notice if I'm hungry. I have to get up at five and I am tired of being upset, I just downed a double hoping it would silence my brain but nothing, I still can't sleep.

I (21F) feel like I’m unable to be in a loving, healthy relationship. I’ve been in 4 serious relationships, longest 3 years and shortest 8 months. I feel like I just settle and am always bored and want to search for something new and get impulsive. I act out then come back to my partner better than ever, then do the same again eventually. I jump from relationship to relationship no matter how many times i try to stay single there’s always somebody I somehow occupy myself with and start dating until I get bored again. No matter how great the guy is, how great he treats me, I still am lacking. there’s always SOMETHING that’s wrong with them even if they’re next to perfect. I’ve never had somebody i’ve ever wanted to marry, I’m not even sure about any guy I date no matter how much I have liked them. I feel “meh” about everybody. I don’t feel like I have loved anybody. I want to find somebody I can settle down with and just KNOW I want to be with them. I don’t think it’s the guys that’s the issue, I think there is something seriously wrong with me.
This takes a toll on me mentally and makes me feel awful. How do people know they want to be with somebody? How do you know you love somebody? These seem like silly questions but ultimately I am constantly feeling empty and feeling like I am searching for something I am incapable of feeling. I don’t know what’s wrong with me.

I (W21) and my boyfriend (M22) have been dating for 3 years now, and everything has been fine until now. We have known each other since high school, and we were friends for 3 years before dating each other. Not that long ago, I was asking my boyfriend about his previous relationships, I was curious because he is my first boyfriend, but he had been in multiple relationships before dating me. When we first became friends, he quickly developed feelings for me, but I rejected him because I knew that nothing would have worked out back then, so he ended up dating different people while we were friends. I was there for most of his relationships as a friend (I haven't developed any feelings, and everything between us was platonic). Every once in a while, he would confess his feelings to me, and I would turn him down. I have seen what he was like during every breakup. After a year or two of us just being friends (he would still confess to me that he liked me), he started dating this girl. When he first started dating her (and when we first started dating), he would compare things about us, such as our hobbies, characteristics, personalities, work ethic, the sport that we played, and many other things like that. He would tell me how much she and I had in common, but at that time, I didn't think much about anything, solely because it wasn't any of my business. When they broke up, I had never seen him so heartbroken. One of the biggest reasons I thought maybe I should give him a chance was because of how long he has liked me. So recently, I brought her up because I was curious to see what type of relationship they had, and I slowly started to understand that I was being lied to. I started to realize that I was her replacement. I confronted him about the situation. I asked him who he liked first, her or me. In my mind, I always thought that he had always liked me first. The answer he gave me was her. So I asked him when he started liking me. He told me that it was a couple of months before we started dating. So that means that for three years, him telling me that he liked me was a lie. He told me that he didn't like me the times he told me he did, he claimed that he had a "thing" for me the whole time when we were friends but didn't truly develop feelings until we actually started dating, he has told me multiple times that I'm not her replacement, but the whole timeline and information just doesn't seem right. So now I just feel like his ex's rebound. What do I do? Do you guys believe him? Am I a replacement???

Welcome to the romancelandia daily reader chat, where we build community, talk books, or just chat.
---
Here's our guide on community norms and posting.
What goes in the daily reading chat, you ask? We like chatting about romance books, and we also like to build community, so the daily reading chat isn't incredibly strict about content, exactly. Don't be shy!
Where to start? Some ideas:

• Random musings about romance
• Books you're looking forward to
• What you're reading now
• Book sales and deals
• Television and movies
• Good books that aren't romance
• Questions for the group at large
• Smashing the kyriarchy in daily life
• Encourage other commenters who have good ideas to start a new post!

---

• Discussing a book? Please include content warnings or anything else you think a potential reader needs to consider before reading and don't forget to mark your spoilers.
• Not sure how to use spoiler tags? Just do this: >!spoiler text!<
• Would your fairly-in-depth book discussion comment or romance-reading observation make a good post? Probably! But in case you're not sure, check out our guide with post examples: Posting on Romancelandia: It doesn't have to be a dissertation.

Hello guys,
If you could PLEASE read my previous posts beforehand that would help you understand my situation (sorry I didn’t succeed to add it in my post, but you can find it easily on my profile).
Now basically, the itching is still there, even if it’s less intense. I’m actually on my period so I think it might increase it, but I’m honestly feeling so desperate. It’s been a month that I’m dealing with hooha issues. I’ve had antibiotics and 2 rounds of econazole vaginal pills (think the equivalent in the US is fluconazole). I’m seeing a gynecologist tomorrow, I know he’s a very good doctor. But I don’t even know what to ask him, besides telling him I feel very itchy internally, not so the vulva, and I still have this heaviness and feeling of discomfort.
Am I gonna be cure one day or am I gonna deal with this forever ? This is annoying and I’m afraid it’s gonna ruin my sex life with my partner at some point (he’s very supportive, but I can imagine it being annoying for him too if it lasts too long).
Could the itching be because of a YI but with not much discharge ? Could it be BV but with no smell at all ? Could it be from the varicose vein that gives me this itchy feeling because of the nerves/blood circulation issue idk ? Thing is, besides the ichynesss i dont have much discharge that could be a clue for something.
I want to precise that my tests came back normal, even the STDs ones, besides a raise on the white blood cells that could indicate an infection but I’ve took a bunch of different antibiotics so it might have induced false negative idk.
Please help 😢
Thanks in advance

I went to HITC day 1 (5/11) and was in the vip section. I was with my friends in the middle of the crowd towards the front during Wave to Earth’s performance. But I had to use the bathroom so I squeezed my way out and saw this really cute Asian guy who was wearing a race car bomber jacket and had one earring on. I wanted to ask for his ig or something but I really had to use the bathroom so I left and came back hoping I’d see him again. I actually did since he was standing in the same spot with a drink in his hand. It was hard to go up to him with the crowd pushing us. I was also scared to ask with all these people around us. He and his friends then moved away so I kind of gave up and called my friend so I can go back to where we were standing. I did film his face a little before aggressively pushing my way towards the front…I wanted to show my friends this guy that looks a little like Lin Yi and Cai XuKun (I’m sorry but he was just really good looking 😭). I was also scared that he might say no to me in front of so many people. So I left thinking maybe I can ask him later. But after Gidle performed, everyone left so fast and I couldn’t find him anymore. I’m regretting it so much now for not asking him when I had the chance to :(

I've had a good life, supportive family, all the privilege in the world, and yet I feel no motivation or encouragement to do anything. I was diagnosed(?) with bipolar disorder ~16 years old, with my first depressive episode at 13. It's hard dealing with my family because they really don't understand, no matter how hard they try. Every attempt to "better myself" has just ended with me feeling more empty and confused about life and how to move forward. I don't know what to do or where to go. I've tried everything from psychiatric care to magic mushrooms (big mistake) and everything in between and just don't know where to start and how to keep the ball rolling. The only thing that has kept me from running away/being a homeless bum roaming the Americas is my brother. He is Bipolar I and I have learned from his mistakes. He is the only person I truly feel I can connect with but I have very little contact with him. My entire family has substance abuse issues (his being far worse than anyone else at the moment (including me)) and I don't know how to stop. I am at a standstill during a vital moment in life and I don't know what to do or where to go.
I guess what I want to ask is: How do you guys mitigate your symptoms? How do you carry on with life through bad periods and keep the memories/lessons from the good periods?
