Today I was using plastic silverware and like a Grown Adult I managed to swallow part of one of the fork tines. ;;;;; It was a pretty small piece, less than half an inch but. SIGH. Google tells me this is actually super common and I'll live and just pass it but I'm 100% sure it's going to destroy my intestines and I'll die of internal bleeding. Haha!

Kiddo ended up not coming over yesterday, since her idiot dad is allowing her boyfriend to stay over at their house and told her mother (who lives in Denver) that kiddo seemed like she was high or drunk or something. And this is the child who attempted suicide a few weeks ago, I am just flabbergasted at how poorly he's managing this. Also pretty confused and annoyed that her mother allowed her to go to Spartanburg, since that's where all of her problems came from, but I'm not a parent so. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Pretty unhappy right now tbh.

It probably won't destroy your intestines. I used to freak out every now and then thinking I might have swallowed glass from a drinking glass or something, and then I looked on the internet and it turns out swallowing glass is totally fine, although they don't recommend it. Your intestines have a way of handling things, apparently - they don't squeeze too close on solid things, and if you swallowed it in amongst food anyway, it's probably pretty cushioned. With glass, there was a mild, mild chance it might puncture your stomach lining and cause some problems - but plastic is a lot more flexible than glass, so you probably don't even have to worry about that.

I'm sorry to hear you're unhappy at the moment. It sounds like things are tough. I hope you feel better soon. Try to do some things for you, just because you like them and want to, that you don't even have to tell other people about if you don't want to. That's what helps me feel a bit happier and steadier when I'm feeling bad.
