"I coulda been a dependa REEEEEE!" The gist of this screed: Cause of depression: Ex was a fucking lying, cheating bastard that put me through SO MUCH emotional abuse over a year and a half period (July 2015 to January 2017).  My ex deployed to Cuba, to guard the detainees pretty much. So it's not like it was Iraq or Afghanistan, and that's when he ghosted me and broke up with me a couple weeks after he came back almost a year later. I told him I understood there likely couldn't be constant communication, but that I just wanted a conversation once a week, at date and time of his choosing because only he knew his schedule. Long story short, I KNEW he was continuing to lie and cheat on me, even while in Cuba. I had a friend who had a friend who was in the same unit as my ex and they talked all the time so I KNEW he was avoiding me. Tried to hide his homecoming, but it was on social media. (I'm going to be a forensic scientist so if I can't find out these easy things, I'm going to be pretty bad at my future career). He literally made me go crazy/insane. I still can't date because of what he did to me and I'm healing from it still. Too bad the system loves him because he's in the military and he'll deny it all. Full Feddit post:   http://archive.is/HG8Rt ETA -- oh yeah, heifer's "tried everything" to "loose" weight, of course: Issue: so I've had a problem with my weight since, well, likely high school (graduated 2012), but it's just been a serious issue since mid 2016 probably. I know the gain was likely from depression and my coping. Was 155lbs in September 2013. 160/165lbs in February 2015. Started gaining weight April/May 2016 most likely. 180lbs January/February 2017. 190lbs October 2017. 200lbs towards end of November 2017. Been consistently 210-220lbs since the new year. Got close to 220, but it's been more so 213lbs as of late. Need help: for some reason, I can't seem to loose weight. No amount of exercise or dieting helps. Even while I was SUPER active in highschool, I NEVER lost weight. ... -- blah, blah blah, etc.
