Today, a girl I like actually invited me to her birthday dinner. Unfortunately my rampant self esteem issues and crippling fear of social situations forced me to blurt out “no thank you” very loudly. She looked so hurt at the rejection and started crying. I hate myself even more FML

Send her a message somehow, even if it's by handing her a letter you explaining that your response wasn't how you intended to respond, but that you have anxiety issues that made you panic. Give it to her with a birthday gift, and if you really like her, offer to take her to lunch at a place of her choice as an apology, either in the letter or in person.

Today, I'm 5 months pregnant. My 20-year-old boyfriend still refuses to tell his parents because he thinks he'll get in trouble. He thinks we can get away with "never telling them and just hiding the kid." FML

Today, after a long and stressful week, all I wanted was some time to myself with a few beers and a good video game. My girlfriend apparently disliked this, because she started blasting Cardi B, ran the vacuum behind me, and poured my beer down the sink when I used the bathroom. FML

Today, I met the guy my ex left me for. He's morbidly obese, has no personality, and got her drinking again, even though she has a problem. She says, "I've never been happier." Now everything I've done for my anxiety and depression has come undone, and I can't be convinced there isn't something horribly wrong with me. FML

Today, my brother deleted all traces of the novel I've been working on for three years from my laptop. The reason? When I was born I "stole all of Mum and Dad's attention." He's 24. FML
