    Yeah some times I get in a kind of way and my friends will be super kind and supportive to me. It helps for a bit but then I go right back to it. Perpetuates the guilt of why I don’t think I’m a good person to them because I always end up back to the bad place, which feels like a burden to others.

    I’m super anxious about it, but for the first time in my life I’m trying out an SSRI. So we’ll see.

    Some card companies don’t boost it automatically. I had the same credit card for like 8 years. Always paid it off in full each month and used the card very often as it is my primary card. I had an incredibly low credit limit of like $1k and was hoping when in the world they would ever increase it since it had been literal years and years of frequent usage and on time payments.

    Yeah turns out I just had to ask and they increased it. Then only a few months later I asked for another increase and they increased it again to a much better number. So I mean it’s not automatic at all companies, but they seem pretty open to raising it if you pay on time like you said.

    I saw something similar on my way to work. Some pedestrian was trying to jaywalk across a busy, high speed road. A car stopped in the middle of the road to “be polite” and help them cross. What the car and pedestrian couldn’t see was that an additional car in the next lane was going very fast and did not have visibility of the pedestrian. Their view of the pedestrian was blocked by the stopped car. And the pedestrian’s view of the fast moving car was also blocked by their position at the stopped car.

    The pedestrian crossed the whole way of the road, but came maybe a foot away from being hit by the fast car. I was afraid I was about to watch someone die.

    Don’t stop for people at odd places in the road unless it’s an emergency. Sometimes “being polite” for someone is actually dangerous.

    Edit: I will say that there is still partial fault with ALL parties involved. If you are driving the speed limit and see a car suddenly stopped ahead in the road, slow down. You don’t know why they are stopped and there might be something in the road. But both the pedestrian and the stopped car should have done things differently.
