Today, I've suddenly realised why my peripheral vision is so good. It seems that I still haven't completely got over the incidents of school bullying and subconsciously expect every random stranger to beat shit out of me. I am 27. FML

I have the same problem, and so do a lot of survivors of abuse and bullying, be it from so called family or friends, or from peers. Unfortunately, it's hard to overwrite the damage done by it, especially alone. If being stuck "on alert" is becoming too stressful or draining to do, talk to a psychiatrist about it and see if medication and therapy could help.

Today, and for the last two weeks, my husband has been playing hide and go seek with the internet router and my iPad to, I guess, try and punish/annoy me. I keep finding them, use them when he’s not home, and put them back. FML

Today, I put my old kitchen table at the end of my driveway with a free sign on it. Later, I saw my neighbor drag it to his yard with a $50 for sale sign on it. It's now gone. FML

Today, I went to my dad's workplace because my sister was there and I wanted to see my newborn niece. I was overjoyed until my dad came up to me. It had apparently been pretty hectic for the past week, because he was on the verge of another stress-induced heart attack. Yes, another. We had to help him outside. FML

Today, my girlfriend and I were waiting for the bus. The weather had been cold and snowy recently, and I realized I'd forgotten my transit card. She nonetheless got on the bus without me. I had to walk it alone in the snow. FML
