^ Insightful, to be sure. And yea I've gone through some....disillusionment with the department/school here this semester, and I've been keeping a passive tab on jobs that I could apply for (though this is semester 2 of the MA phase). So, yea I'd say that that adds to the anxiety/stress.
-
I'm glad for some positive replies. I was going to go today, and I even walked by the room, but I chickened out. I think there's just some anxiety involved in going.
Betty you can ramble don't worry xD.
And to reply to Jason, I honestly don't see my advisor that much. I reach out to him about twice a semester to just check up on things and get his approval/thoughts on classes that I'll take in the future. I had a meeting with him last week in which we discusses the MA exit exam (I'm getting a masters in the humanities, that might help contextualize things) and that reduced some long term anxiety because he gave me a few good tips and resources. Otherwise, he doesn't reach out to me to check-in. Which I don't blame him for, honestly, he's a prof, he's busy. But everyone else I talk to about him seems to think that he could do a better job. I don't know. He's pretty good when I reach out to him. So I think he's holding up his end of the deal just fine. I will say that I will hopefully be able to switch advisors, not because I dislike my current one, but because I want to switch to someone who specializes in something that is more attuned to my interests.
And I will DEFINITELY say that I day dream a lot about how I'm going to spend the summer. I've definitely identified a few tricks that I need to get get a (better) hold on. One of those things, as you mentioned, is planning. I'm hoping that I can just survive this semester and then once I get the chance to breath I hope to meticulously plan out my summer (with daily/weekly/monthly goals). I'm doing a lot of things this summer (summer class, studying for MA exit exam, moving, thesis research assuming that I get to write a thesis - something still up in the air), so doing everything will be difficult. But I've asked a few colleagues (advisor included) if my goals are reasonable and I've gotten a solid "yea but you'll be busy." Which I'm okay with (although, I got the same answer from people last semester when I told them I'd be taking 3 classes and teaching 2 sections, and this is where it got me).
Thanks again for the replies. Maybe tomorrow I won't chicken out when I get to the counseling building!

I'm going to agree with Minachan. They're just pointless to me. I never thought about the shock value to those unfamiliar with the diaper fetish, but that probably is a thing that happens. Given that I don't find anything interesting about them, though, I tend to avoid them. I like seeing people in diapers, sure, but there's nothing fun about watching a those videos.
Man I feel like I just regurgitated Mina's post haha.

I'm going to (try to) be short and sweet! I decided to post this here because it has to do with mental health, though maybe not necessarily depression. Feel free to move to the U of Peenix forums if this is more applicable there!
I've been doing graduate school for a year now. This semester has been VERY difficult and I've gone through a lot of disillusionment. I've been super stressed out since literally day 2 of the semester. I've been in my office every day this semester (weekends included, obvs) working or at least trying to work.
I've gotten to the point where I can't focus on anything anymore (actually, I got to that point about 5 weeks ago). I'm thinking that the stress level has been breaking me down, and I'm kinda surprised that I've made this this far tbh. I think that I need to go talk to a school councilor or something, because this isn't going to get better as the end of the semester approaches (2 weeks left!). I'm taking more classes than recommended, so the stress levels are way up there.
The thing that makes me think that I should see a councilor (read: school therapist) is that last Friday I had the weirdest mood swing in which I was AGGRESSIVELY energetic and positive for like 2 hours. Then I had NO energy (physical/mental/emotional) whatsoever. I walked only a part of the way to my car before I gave up and took a rest somewhere (to be fair the weather was nice). Then the other night (or maybe last night), I'm pretty sure that I blinked and 30 minutes passed. Granted, I was on Facebook but it didn't feel like that typical "oh I lost track of time" thing. It felt like I read a status, blinked, and 30 minutes had gone by when I was on the same page. I've tried googling "time gap" and stuff like that to see if this is a thing, but I get results for totally not related stuff so I think maybe I'm just making up things.
I feel stupid walking into a psych services office on a university campus and saying "hey I'm stressed what can I do?" because there's probably 30 000 other kids who are in the same boat. But it's gotten to the point where I'm no longer confident in my ability to manage it anymore. I feel like I've done everything I can, and that I need to get a professionals opinion on how to increase my ability to focus and reduce my stress levels. There are a few other factors playing around that I won't get into in detail, such as my position as a graduate student, and the new stuff that I've implemented into my routine thanks to a google search for "reduce stress" (read: cardio and bigger breakfast).
My question, really, for y'all is: should I go see someone? I honestly feel like an idiot trying to seek help for an issue that everyone else has. But I'm seriously considering going in tomorrow and the only thing stopping me is this anxiety over whether or not it's dumb.
Thanks for the read. Sorry I haven't posted much in the community lately. Don't worry, though, I still lurk from time to time!

I definitely agree on the high price tag. For that same amount of money you could get a good amount of diapers that I knew were good for me, and/or I could try get a bag of new diapers to try out.
Despite that, though, I really LOVE this idea! Yes, I'm a vanilla DL and yes I'm very comfortable with that label. But I wouldn't mind at all trying out stuff made for other niches. So for people like me, who don't mind getting stuff that's outside of their usual ballpark, and for people who are maybe in between labels this is a nice idea. On the other hand, this might not be something that people would want to get every month. I can see someone getting this and deciding that they didn't like having a mixture of stuff, or I can see someone canceling their subscription once they found their "niche" (i.e. sissy, DiaperFur, etc).
But, money talks so I think I'll have to pass on this one. I do have to admit that if this was $10-15 less, then I might have signed up and not thought about it!

This thread is weird.
.....
Is it normal to go to the supermarket in your pajamas? I can't say I've ever seen anyone do it here and I tend to go late at night.
My sentiments exactly.
-
I don't think either has caused any issues for me. Some of my family knows about my diapers, and my parents both know that I just want to remain single (so I haven't had a proper "I'm asexual" convo with them). And I've received a more or less supportive "okay that's fine" on both ends.
As far as friends go, they're pretty much equally supportive. When we all get together, they sometimes get carried away with plant jokes for 2 straight minutes, which I really don't appreciate. And one of them doesn't really respect the whole "I don't want to know what (insert sex jargon here)" thing (which is more of a "me" thing than an "ace" thing, I think). But overall, it's good with friends also.

When I saw the title of this, I thought we were gonna have another post comparing the queer community to the ABDL community, with certain jargon from the former being adopted by the latter. Which is a conversation that never ends well. Then when I saw it was from Tumblr I went "uh-oh" because Tumblr can be kind of intense (I enjoy Tumblr but some people get really really out there).
But, it was actually a good read. That's kind of crazy. I don't really have anything to add, but I hope it works out for her. Looks like she posted that just 3 days ago. So the throw-out must be recent.

You don't have to be good at arting, you just have to be "the tallest midget"

It happens to me every now and then! Kinda makes me feel bad when I give up on a day, though.

^ I don't know what shipping service Bambino is using (UPS, USPS, etc). But keep in mind that last week was Veterans day and I don't think any service was running that day (or at the very least USPS wasn't). Also week-ends don't count! So you ordered on the 6th (Friday), but they wouldn't ship out until the 9th, so that's 3 days of waiting until the next business day.
IMO you should get them tomorrow or so!

I'm kinda weird-ed out by the obsession with whether or not she's an AB.

^^ You ninja'ed me! After a Google search, this is the closest thing that I could find. Not sure if it's the same. But I think that we came up with the same plush, Maxxy.
-
Sounds to me like you want to buy another Pikachu plush that's the same as the one you currently have.
There should be a tag somewhere on your plushie that says the year adn company that made it. After that, you'll have to do some e-bay digging and waiting.

I echo Babble's praise to you for trying to indulge him. People have horror stories about their spouses discovering their little side.
A lot of ABDLs go through what is called the "binge/purge" cycle - which is what it sounds like it is. They indulge to the max, but after indulging they often feel bad for what they've done, and then throw out everything that they have ("purge").
Balance is usually the key to stopping this. Not sure what your baby time with him is like, but try to avoid a baby time that lasts too long or is too.....immersive (for lack of a better word). Which is to say: don't indulge too much! Instead of a heavily indulging baby time that only happens once a month, shoot for a mildly indulging baby time that happens every week or two. Spread it out.

I absolutely ADORE how much attention Animaniacs and Steven Universe are getting!

I guess I'm the only one here who likes the classic stuff--namely, Bullwinkle, The Flintstones, the old theatrical Warner Bros. cartoons, and so on. Aside from Animaniacs, (definitely with you on that one, WakkoWannaBe), I don't watch many of the cartoons made in the last twenty years.

If you liked Avatar, you'll like Korra. It's made for people who watched Avatar when it aired, so as a result, Korra is a lot more mature. The Amazing World of Gumball is like this crazy post-modern version of The Simpsons. I need to see We Bare Bears too. What I've seen and heard of it is fantastic, but I'm waiting for more so I can binge that too
And yes! You should check out Arthur again. It holds up incredibly well! The newer seasons are noticeably weaker, but that's to be expected after NINETEEN YEARS on television
Never watched Avatar, tbh =o. I just kinda assumed that it you didn't have to watch Avatar to watch LoK. And I don't know The Simpsons too well (maybe I should it's so famous haha), but you definitely make AWoG sound way more interesting!
And DailyDi, I saw an add or something for Teen Titans! Made me kind of wanna watch it. That show started around the same time when I suddenly became "too cool" for cartoons =o.
-
^ aaahhhh! Okay so I've been meaning to maybe start watching The Legend of Korra and/or The Amazing World of Gumball (just to try them out); also We Bare Bares!
And yea I remember seeing Arthur as a kid. AAHHH I should revisit it =p.
-
I'm bilingual French/English. I can guess my way around in Spanish (I understand a lot). I think it'll be the next thing I learn, but that'll take a while o.O.
-
I could sit down and marathon Steven Universe all day long! I mean, I don't, because I'm caught up on the series, I don't have that kind of time, and I don't want to make myself cry for that long. But the quality is so high up there.
I'm like 11 episodes in to Gravity Falls. If I get a moment to breath this winter, I can easily see myself just curling up with some hot chocolate and catching up on that.
Otherwise, the main cartoon from my childhood that I could binge watch is Animaniacs. Maybe a few others, like Tiny Toons, but I have a hard time thinking of anything other than Animaniacs o.O.

yea it starts off kinda slow most of the time, it's not everyone's jam!

You know what though, I know that it's easy to feel like you have to have someone.
*SO* much of society builds on the idea that happiness comes from being a part of a (heterosexual) couple. I feel like you'd be hard pressed to find a movie (in almost any genre) in which two characters were set up to "end up" together. I don't listen to the radio because every song, again in almost every genre, is about love or breakups or finding the right person. So, this is an idea that is easy to internalize.
Forget that, man. Like, seriously. You don't have to have a partner to be happy. Yes: society says you have to have a partner to be happy (and that that partner is straight). But you can construct your own reality in which that is not true. Yes: you need friends. Yes, you need to interact with people. But you don't need to feel down just because you don't have a S/O.
I want you to be happy, so I want you to have an S/O if that would make you happy. But like overall I think that society needs to start thinking about whether or not an S/O is necessary in order to live out a full/meaningful/happy life.
