You want to come move in with me? Dead serious. We gotta get you out of there.

Honestly I’m pretty location-locked right now with my job and extended family. I sincerely appreciate the offer though. 

Things got a lot better for me when I started listening to my parents’ arguments as though someone said “Dude listen to this reddit thread”. 

I don’t get anywhere near as upset as I used to, 1) because meds and 2) because I’m getting desensitized to the bullshit and 3) because I’m genuinely feeling less alone than I used to (i.e. I’m starting to feel the realness of the friendships and relationships I have with the people around me and the fact that they care about me and validate me and my opinions) 

What the fuck. Your mother is awful. Your safety comes first and it's so scary that happened and I'm so glad you're okay

Thank you everyone for your concern! 

The details: I was driving down one of the main roads out of Philly that wasn’t a highway, because it was past midnight on a Friday and I’m not taking main highways and roads that I’m not comfortable with at prime drunks-driving-home hours,. 

So I’m driving in the right lane and a semi is driving in the middle lane. It pulls ever so slightly into my lane because something (a vehicle? road work?) is blocking its lane. Okay, fine. It pulls slightly back into its lane, then decides to come back into my lane fully, except HELLO I’M THERE. 

I pull as far to the right as possible, thinking it’ll pull back into its lane again, but no, it’s closing me in, it’s going to smash its full weight into me. I’m smack dab in the middle, to far back to pull forward, too far forward to slam the breaks and let it pass me.

So I slam my horn

And hear a CRACK as my mirror hits a parked car

And the semi pulled quickly back into its lane.

And I fucking screamed in relief and pulled over to try not to vomit.
