Oh my, we had a border collie just like this when I was a kid. For an otherwise clever dog, the thunder phobia was extreme. If we weren't home and she ended up outside during a storm, she would destroy the house siding trying to 'dig' her way in. On another occasion she dug herself under the house to escape the noise and had to be rescued a day or two later when we finally discovered where she was.

The things dog owners put up with! Hopefully your guy provides at least a couple positive feelings here and there 

He's a great dog, I feel bad for getting so worked up at him, we made up and unlike a human he forgave me instantly for being so angry and throwing him out in the dark garage during the worst part of the storm. Poor fellow!

I was planning to buy a pair of pink and purple glasses today, but the pushy clerk in the store made me too anxious to follow through.

In the end, how could anyone be unhappy with that adorable border collie face!!   

I was reading through the posts on this website, feeling a bit better about myself and how this is a great community and I'm not alone...and then I started thinking about my boyfriend of 5 years, who is out of town for the weekend and who I love very dearly and has been a rock for me as I went through serious depression and anxiety during my undergrad years.

I'm terribly, paralyzingly afraid if I ever reveal to him that I am having FTM transgender thoughts, he will leave me and I'll be alone...again. I don't think I could take it...

Caleb is out of town too, he's at his grandparents ranch for the weekend. I miss him already And I took my last Estrodiol and Spiro until I can somehow pay for it. I wish I could get an Orchi at least. Then I wouldn't need Spiro, which costs a fortune around here!

Just paid the bill for my next year of college. I pay less than 900 dollars and that's without government support. It makes me sad to think about all the people in the US or the UK or other countries that have to pay an insane amount of money to get to study

Ugh I hear you, ACK! 

My student loans haven't come through yet. I got a notice of assessment, got all the stuff together I needed, got it all sorted out as I was supposed to and stuff. But I haven't heard a dang thing from then since. I am unable to afford my textbooks one of which I need before I go home today. Luckily, they'll defer my tuition until it comes through since we know it's coming. I just have no idea when or what the hold up is. I am freaking stressed out.

Those sick ->-bleeped-<-s in Romania killing all their dogs. Should i be magically transported to Romania, i would so kill every single one of the killers on sight, dog-killers don't deserve to live. They must die, they must die.

I am feeling angry and sad at the same time, and i can't help the poor dogs. I wish i could, i really do.

Why aren't the people rebelling?

Just learned that a friend who has been in an on and off relationship with an abusive man is now pregnant and engaged to him again.  I want to be happy for her but I just find myself instead praying that she has the strength to get out before he affects not only her life again but the life of a child.  I want to believe that people can change but when you keep getting the girl back anyways what reason do you have to change?  Hopefully the baby will be enough of a reason.

It always winds up worse than we can possibly hope for. So many cis women just don't get it, some wind up battered or worse yet dead. Hopefully this won't be the case!

Actually, it's extremely more likely that he'll get worse. My condolences.

It was over 100 today and because I can't bind when my SO will see or really at school (don't want to explain why my D's are suddenly flat) I wear neon colors to deal with my dysphoria.  I decided to wear my bright blue pants because that's the pants I have for such situations.  Only problem is they are skin tight.  Needless to say, I was sick to my stomach when I got home and it took 3 hours in the AC to get me to finally be ok. ;.;

I just lost my job..

Sorry Darkie, not a happy situation!

Thanks Shantel.  I'm not taking it too well.

The impact my mum still has on me sometimes. She's been in a depressive mood lately and today was the worst. She's been bingelike eating all day and that doesn't help her mood (she's trying to lose weight). And then there's me turning into the sweet little girl, trying to help everywhere and working myself up into a panic attack. And when I try to cope with it better I end up feeling guilty about taking care of myself instead of her... I thought I was doing better in that department.
