My sister knocked a tooth out about that age being a dumbass but I assume it was a baby tooth so no big deal. I don't know unless they have real gum issues or something at birth.

My limited recollection says they start losing their baby teeth around 6.

My HSA account just had a policy change that I have to use passkey instead of my password (that is so awesome that forgot what it was for a few days). I need to log in for tax documents, so after I remembered the password I tried to set passkey up. They have to save the passkey either to the account on my web browser or a MSN account. Neither of which is even close to being secure. I don't save anything but fucking bookmarks in those. Fuck that bullshit, I guess I have to call them anytime I want something.

Dating.....the dating world right now kinda blows lol.

I've been seeing someone for about 2 months, but she lives 2 hours away, so mostly just weekends. It started off well, we are both active and in good shape, but her mask has come off and time to say it isn't working. I knew the dating pool was preety broken, but holy hell I wasn't prepared (married for almost 20 years, widowed for 1.5)

Something in the upstairs bathroom is leaking into the kitchen below. Gets worse when we flush the upstairs toilet, we stopped using it as soon as we figured that out but the damage is done.
Plumber comes this afternoon, have a terrible feeling our bathroom is going to have to be ripped up.
I have issues with depression and anxiety and have been going through a low period, this has turned my anxiety up to 11 and I am constantly on the verge of anxiety attack which no one in my house knows how to deal with.
I feel sick, scared, weak, and helpless.
I hate living like this but I do nothing about it because I’m too weak and lazy and have to do it all on my own as I have no friends or family outside of my wife and 2 sons. Also my own fault.
Not doing well today.
Just wants to vent a little.

Man, it happens. I go through the same thing occasionally. Houses need repairs and that’s typical too. Think of this as a chance to redo the bathroom and make it more interesting or modern or just refreshed. This isn’t a crisis, it’s a chance for change and improvement.

If you feel helpless about the plumbing, I don't know any serious do it yourselfers that would even look at plumbing issues like that - thats definitely call the plumber time. If it's feeling helpless about the anxiety, yea, I feel you. Anxiety is rough because it often doesn't really correspond to what is going on - you feel like shit and you feel anxious but "hey its not that bad" really doesn't help at all. See if you can figure out the type of things that really trigger the anxiety (if it's just real life stuff that again is rough). Everyone can have anxiety about things, don't beat yourself up about that. Everyone has high and low times too.

You're just a guy going through life and you're going to make it. Think about the people relying on you and how they look up to you as basically the god-like problem solving guy (even if we totally are not). I think we all wish we were the guy our wife and kids see us as.

Plumber should be here soon.
For the record I have medically diagnosed major depressive disorder and a medically diagnosed anxiety disorder, I’m not some self diagnosing retard.
The biggest thing that upsets me is that I’m getting upset.

They arrived while I was writing this, kitchen ceiling has to be all opened up which they are doing now. Wet drywall and insulation.
So far it looks like a mouse/rat chewed into the hot water line leading to the shower but that doesn’t explain why it got worse when we flushed the toilet.
They are going to have to do some investigating.
We are going to have to get someone to redo that ceiling because I ain’t doing that shit, I want it done right.

Had to leave the room while they were opening the ceiling, my nerves couldnt take it. Nothing I can do but wait for them to call out to me if they need to.

Not a psychiatrist or whatever but this sounds like a self-reinforcing issue, right? Like if you start to get upset, you notice yourself getting upset, and the noticing also gets your upset?

The only way to break those is to break the cycle, your mind gets in patterns. You notice that when you walk in the shower, if you pee right before the shower every time (I do, just out of habit) that when you even start thinking about a shower, you'll have to pee? Thats a self-reinforcing feedback loop just like the anxiety - each time you go pee because of the habit, it's reinforcing the habit. If you want to break that cycle, you have to not reinforce it every time.

Paradoxically, attempting to fight anxiety makes it worse. Thinking about it makes it worse. The only way is acceptance, saying "yes I'm having anxiety right now but it will pass" and not attempting to fight it. The cycle right now is, you have some anxiety, you get mad about the anxiety, then you get mad about getting mad not helping with the anxiety. You have to break that cycle. Breaking the cycle requires not fighting it.

I 1000% realize this is easy to say and hard to do, and I'm sure you've heard this advice before. Just rustles my jimmies to see bros suffering.
