Are you happy? Apparently I'm not...

I've been feeling lonely a lot lately. Sometimes I'll just be sitting at my desk on my laptop and out of nowhere I'll get hit with a sudden wave of loneliness. When it comes it completely overwhelms me and I can't bring myself to do anything except stare into the abyss. What do I do when I feel lonely all of a sudden?

I (26 M) have been dating a girl (27 F) for six months now. We’re pretty firmly planted in our relationship now and it’s beginning to feel like we know most of the typical stuff you’d want to know about another person. I’m starting to run out of really good or interesting questions to ask her to spark deep convos. Anyone have some interesting, romantic, or just generally deep questions I could ask to improve our connection?

I'm deathly afraid of spiders! My brother says I'm being overdramatic but I'm really really afraid of them. This quiz says it's likely I have a phobia and I think it's right. Do you have a phobia?

I can't sleep. As I'm typing this it's almost 4 in the morning and I have been just staring at the ceiling (or my phone or the insides of my eyelids) for hours. This happens a lot, I can't sleep and then I waste the night just lying there trying to fall asleep and the next day I'm exhausted. What should I do?

I have someone in my life that I've determined is toxic and doesn't make me feel good. But it's so much more complicated than that – we have history, we've had good times together, and cutting them off completely feels like a big jump that I'm not sure I'm reaady for. If I cut them off, will I experience regret or negative blowback? What might go wrong if I do? Maybe I just need a pep talk...
