Vegweb Confessions
This thread is dedicated to brutal honesty and things you would probably only discuss with a shrink or a close friend/family member. Please note that this is not a pity thread, just a venting thread. The point is to learn more about each other and possibly connect on new levels as a community
- I have a really awful relationship with my father. We just don't talk... I never call him and vice versa. The only conversations we ever have are about music, becuase the love of music is the only things we have in common.
- I have a hard time letting people get close to me. Whenever I get too close to someone, I subconsciously push them away. This has ruined the two relationships I've been in, and countless close friendships. I think this stems from my shoddy relationship with my father.
- I have an addictive personality. I've had some major run-ins with drugs in my lifetime. Thankfully, I don't partake in them anymore but sometimes I fear that my drinking will become a serious issue later in life.
whew! i'm so glad you said that! now i can feel a little less icky.
i shaved my legs last night and thought of you. i thought, "i bet sarah either did this a few hours ago or will be doing it in a few hours"
haha.
sirdidy has so many personalities that he cannot keep up with the screennames!

Aw... That's too bad, but being veg'an I guess you can't. ;)
Confession: Think Jackyl's "Dirty Little Mind"... That's me plus sarcasm.

Oh my! I thought of you too! When i was plucking and dissolving and shaving away hair.
vegweb confession (that maybe sarah understands?):
i actually ENJOY waxing. because i'm lazy and pain doesn't bother me anywhere near as much as hair does.
yay to high pain tolerances, i guess!
RD, I know how that is! Once my mom bet me fifty dollars I couldn't wax my legs without making any noise of discomfort or whatever. And I did it. She did not deliver though :( I also waxed my tummy and lower back since I have hairs there. And the hairs are dark so I feel self conscious about them..lately I have been using nair though, which isn't as good. Just too lazy to wax...
I dont have patience to let the hair grow out enough to wax, it grosses me out before its even close to halfway there.
But, a confession similar to yours, i enjoy using my epilator (its like, mechanical tweezerish things?). And using it on other people, it reminds me of getting tattoos and makes me happy. heh.
i want one of those epilator thingies! i've always wanted one!
and remember, i said i'm lazy. i hate the hair, but i'm lazy. plus, i have my daddy's fast growing german hair. i shave in the morning and by the end of the day it feels like it has been at least a week. it only takes a couple of days of laziness for me to be able to wax. if i wax then i don't have to even touch my legs for two months! and that's totally my sort of grooming!
and ponycakes, i have a sorta similar story kinda. except it didn't involve money or a bet. so maybe not. but the first time i decided to wax my legs, my friend called me. i was on the phone with him as i started to wax my legs and then finished before we were off of the phone. at one point he asked me, "what's up?' and i said, "i'm waxing my legs" and he was like, "you are... like RIGHT NOW?!!!". he was so amazed that i was able to do it without him being able to tell since i made no noise.
i had brittney give me a full bikini wax once. or twice? i don't remember. she and i held a conversation without breaks the whole time.
i started to give her the same wax and only got one swipe before she let out a yelp and said, "okay, nevermind that idea!"

Waxing is awesome. I just found an EXCELLENT new aesthetician in my town and she is so great. If it weren't so expensive, I'd get waxed all the time. It's so worth it.
oh, kmk, you're so lucky! i've never gotten to get a professional one! i really want to because i'm sure they miss fewer hairs than i do. i always end up having to go over it again (which i know you're not supposed to do but whatever) and plucking strays.
ponycakes,
also, shame on your mom! she should have given you that $50! she's not setting a good example!
One of these days i'll bear a week or so of not shaving and go get everything waxed. one day.
Confession:
I am extremely lonely, mainly lately. I have like no friends anymore. I have 2 i hang out with, and one of them is being a meanie lately and pretty much ignores me half the time (an ex, but we're best friends. He started talking about girls he thought were hot, so i figured that meant i could start talking about guys and girls too, guess not. he got all weird since i've said i thought some one looked good... But he does all the time, and brings chicks he likes along with him, ahhh, getting off on a rant now i'll stop), and the other one lives like 25 minutes away at least and i'm usually her late night hang out person but we never find things to do (she doesnt have many "hangout friends" as we call them either, me and her put up posters looking for friends, heh). I've spent the majority of the last month sitting right here, all day. Its so gross. I dont even leave the house unless its to go to the store with my mom or practice driving. I don't have ways to go make new friends because i cant go anywhere. And when i go places with the ex that doesnt help at all, he talks to girls if we go places and guys ignore me or he'll just take me home and get pissed..
To sum it up, this summer sucks. I highly dislike my life as of now. I'm happy a good amount of time, but eh. When it gets to the point to where your mom yells at you for not getting out of the house and not having friends that drive you places it gets kind of aggravating. Oh well, at least i have vegweb to amuse me during the day.
When i look at it, it barely seems like a confession, but i typed it all out so whatev, its a confession now! hah.

Yeah, she got like every hair. EVERY hair. In the entire region (brazilian). This was around June 1, and it still looks awesome. I had some mad bruising though, which is normal for me. But yeah, she used this green wax for sensitive skin, and it doesn't use the cloth, it uses like....well I didn't really look, but it seemed like smaller plastic sheets? I don't know. But the entire experience was neutral bordering on pleasant. I was like, wait, that's it?
Aw, sarah :( I know things will turn around. You're just in a lull. Maybe think of things that you can do by yourself that you wouldn't otherwise have time to do?
sarah,
i know how you feel. i moved from oklahoma (where i had SUCH an active social life that i had to use an agenda and literally schedule appointments with friends so i would stop double booking, forgetting, and accidentally standing people up) to washington where i know no one. if it wasn't for the internet, phone, and work i would have no socialization.
i'm trying to get to know people, though.
and hopefully i'll get to hang out with sirdidy sometime and then hopefully more times after that.
but i have been super lonely for the last two years. i totally understand the feeling.
Well here we go.
I have debilitating anxiety. I am on lots and lots of medicine to keep me from having panic attacks every day.
This medicine makes me exhausted, but I know I cannot survive without it...
I have been dealing with this for 24 years.
Most people in my life think my anxiety is a "cry for help" as opposed to a condition that I was born with.
So I am faced with the fact that I will never be able to do what "normal everyday people" can do.
Without my medicine, I cannot be in a car with other people present, I cannot go to the mall, restaurants, sit still for more than 20 minutes... I literally have to keep "running" when not on my medicine.
When on my medicine I can almost do everything everyone else can without a panic attack, but I have to take at least 3 naps a day... even with a full night's sleep.
It seems I am trading one negative for another.
I will never be able to function properly without a high dosage of medication, and this is something I will always have to live with.
:-[
i have a friend (blah blah blah) but anyhow, i have a friend who suffered from very high anxiety - her doctor put her on lexipro (i think it's called) and since then (although she has to take it regularly) - from my understanding, it's worked wonders for her
I got a frozen coconut flavored drink at a gas station yesterday, and when I got home it didn't taste so great anymore. Now it's sitting on the coffee table, and I'm afraid to dump it because it looks so much like a big glass of milk. I've never actually realized how phobic I am of a glass of milk.
I've been eating more fruits and veggies lately, trying to not feel so tired. Instead, I feel fat. Like, huge. And gross.

you're not alone. it's the same for me... except i wasn't born with it. it was induced by my car wreck.
when i have anxiety attacks my wife has accused me of doing it for attention.
they are scary. who would "do it" for attention?
i am terrified of cars, car wrecks, driving, riding in them, etc. but i do it anyways because i have to work (pizza delivery).
i'm on celexa which helps more with the depression than the anxiety. but since my depression is being handled, my anxiety isn't as bad.
