Thank you. <3 It comes in unbearable waves and I've been feeling so alone. Made myself reach out to some friends and ask to schedule some video chats. Guess it is a good thing I've started crying this week though because it is a healthy release for emotions.WillowMarie so sorry to hear. Remember that all things are transitory. "This too shall pass."
Sorry you've been feeling low. That feeling of being so isolated and alone can be so overwhelming. Please keep sharing with us. We are here for you. Please keep reaching out. I promise there are so many people who care about you and want to hear about what you are going through and support you, including me.DINOSAURS!!!!!!!! Love this
I passed the practice exam this time
Congrats!!!! So proud of you! You did it!That's a sad feeling. Sometimes I wonder if facebook logarithm, or whatever it is called, favors certain things to show up on people's feeds, but noticed this with people responding less to just text posts than picture posts, too.
Was there something you posted you hoped to get more of a response to?

They don't respond much to anything I post on Facebook unless I include a picture. I even try to make a really interesting post about my day, but nobody cares unless there is a picture with it. I like my privacy and I don't feel like taking pics at the moment, I'm not really well enough for that.

I post way more pictures of my cats than myself, usually.

Yeah, I posted a bunch of cat photos and photos of me as a kid. But they keep asking for recent photos and I just don't feel well enough yet. And if I talk about cooking, they want me to post a pic of my dinner instead of just talking about it.

I can see how that would be frustrating if you're not up to it yet.
Now that I'm thinking about it, most of the people on my list who post about food do end up posting photos, so that does seem to be a facebook thing.
To be fair, I think Facebook is kind of geared toward pictures. It's odd to see a text-only post; most people at least put a filler picture in.
But yeah. Facebook family members are annoying, lol.

Yeah, I guess Facebook isn't really the place for me. But at the same time, it's really the only way to keep in touch with everybody. I guess I can just comment on their walls/posts or PM people.
RIP Little Richard. 
Good luck! That's my least favorite transition after when they give up naps!Aedan only stayed in his bed for a few hours last night. We're trying again tonight. We'll get it.

I can see how that would be annoying. Unfortunately, seems like photos are important to many people as seen in this interesting article Photos on Facebook Generate 53% More Likes Than the Average Post [NEW DATA]
It talks about how picture posts get 53% more likes and 104% more comments compared to "average" posts. Thought it was interesting and wanted to share. Seems people are hardwired to notice and interact with pictures more than text.

Everything has been cleaned out of my rental and is back home. Such an exhausting week: 4 days of driving 11+ hours and 2 days packing and filling car and cleaning last minute details in rental, complete with multiple migraines, cranky attitude, and anxiety driven severe lack of sleep 2 nights. Relieved to be back at home with the cats again. Missed them so much and it was hard sleeping at my rental without them.
So long mountains. Hope we meet again one day soon.

Thought this was interesting. My mom was all excited to get her, my brother, and I some Outback Steakhouse to celebrate my graduation. She mentioned this earlier and that she was thinking of also getting my two other brothers a gift card so they can have some Outback, too, who love away from home and can't come over to eat with us. My first thought was she was going to have us all order and eat at the same time to celebrate my graduation together. So I mentioned this and said that'd be neat to eat with everyone over video chat. But she was like, oh, I didn't think of that, I was just going to send them a gift card so they could order themselves Outback, too.
So... is this something to celebrate my graduation or were you just in the mood to treat everyone in the family to a yummy meal??
Trying not to think too much into it. I'm really excited for me meal though!

Yes, this is definitely true. I'm more a lover of words than pictures. But who knows, maybe that will change as I get healthier. We'll see.
Your mom might not have thought about the new technology where you can eat a meal virtually over the internet together. My parents would never think of it.

Dang, I just fell over my mom's clutter and hurt my knee. I don't know how somebody could want to live like this by choice. It just makes no sense. When/if I ever get my own place, I will not have one piece of clutter visible.

MoonstoneWolf so so sorry to hear.RIP Little Richard.
It's not a personal loss---Little Richard was a singer. He was 87, died of cancer.MoonstoneWolf so so sorry to hear.
Little Richard, Founding Father of Rock Who Broke Musical Barriers, Dead at 87
I know I don't. I have Facetime on my phone, and NEVER think to use it! If you're over, oh, say, 60, it just isn't an automatic thing!
My mom and I finally made time to try making masks for ourselves for when we go out.
The first one took 3.5 hours to figure out and we are tired but now that we know what we are doing, it'll turn out better the next time. Aesthetically, it could have been better but that's probably me just being a picky perfectionist.

Nice! I like the fabric.
