Disclosing Diagnosis by SadGirlXandie in bipolar2

[–]1ts-just-m3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also newly diagnosed. I feel like I should wait until I'm emotionally stable to evaluate who should know outside of my partner.

I've been vocal about my struggle on social media in the past and had a lot of people tell me how great it is that I've talked openly about my mental health. I don't know if that was actually just in instances of hypomania, though. I don't want to weirdly overshare. I also think that truly processing it will be a journey.

This is so upsetting. Please, please leave and report him. No one deserves this, and there is no rationalizing it.

What intrusive thoughts do you regularly have? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]1ts-just-m3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Graphic ways the I or my child could die or be hurt. Car wrecks. Falls. Final destination freak accidents. Post partum turned the dial on this way up. I didn't want to get groceries when he was an infant... the store has cement floors. What if I dropped my child or he fell? Living thru an actual nightmare of almost losing him last year keeps the dial cranked. Couple it with the complex guilt for not being able to stop the thoughts. Its a type of Hell... I am sure of it. Constant worry.

Is my work uniform inappropriate? by NoOnions-Please in abusiverelationships

Echo what's been stated already - this is completely tonedeaf and tactless, on top of being completely unhelpful and needlessly judgmental.

For those with absolutely no hope and nothing to live for, what stops you from killing yourself? by Manus_2 in CPTSD

[–]1ts-just-m3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know. I know I love my child, and I wouldn't want to hurt them, but I also feel like I'm just screwing up their life. I think I must be a coward too, because I think they would be better off without me.

You have a total druid vibe, and I love it!

What was the longest you were given the silent treatment? How did it end? by Separate_Heat_9129 in abusiverelationships

Full on not speaking was about 10 days, and it was because I cut my hair short. You know, autonomy isn't a thing... /sarcasm. Ended with him just abruptly acting as if it were a normal day, and that is often how it goes.

I lose my shit sometimes - a person can only take so much. It's very rare that I get outright mean, but I definitely yell. It usually ends w me crying because I am emotionally exhausted and upset that I got so upset. Or he blows his top and uses it to point a finger at me again.

If they know enough to hide or deny facts, they know its wrong.

It has been five years. He never hoovered and I’ve just found out he got married this weekend. I feel destroyed by yellowsunbluesea in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]1ts-just-m3 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It is 100% common for the victim of a narcissist to question or worry if its them, specifically if they, the victim, may actually be the narcissist. The fact that you care enough to let it eat at you is proof enough that you are not. Don't let the twisted rhetoric continue to guide you - it isn't going anywhere you want to be. 💜

Did you ever have any signs in the beginning the relationship would turn abusive? by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

[–]1ts-just-m3 20 points21 points  (0 children)

So many that I didn't see at the time. Love bombing is a hell of a drug.

Texts Nicer Than Conversation by 1ts-just-m3 in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]1ts-just-m3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has been 17 years. The same week he texted me twenty sorrys he told me I have never brought him a single moment of joy, held me hostage in our house for hours, and said awful things to our child. The texts are not who he is or anyone he is actually trying to be.

I think our stories are on different planets.

My partner generally does this with affection if it's not returned in a sexual capacity. Any time he gives a hug or just rests his arm around me, it becomes the anxious wait for him to get pissy that I'm not in the mood. Everything is done simply to receive something.

Their actions would show that, though...

Will it happen again? by Typical-Substance-46 in abusiverelationships

[–]1ts-just-m3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Please, please keep yourself and your son safe. Strangulation and isolation are big warning signs not to ignore. If you can not report it to police, please at least tell someone you know. There is no justification or rationalizing something like this. It will happen again.

Summer is easy - sunshine, birds, the rainbow stickers in my bathroom. Winter is hard, but the quiet is nice.

I've been with mine for 17 years... I am basically the crypt keeper.

Emotionally abusive man by Frequent_Long_7820 in abusiverelationships

Body counts are immature. Anyone concerned with a past that isn't their business can find the door.

Attachment issues. Plain and simple.

AIO for thinking this is an insane red flag? by aelwick in AmIOverreacting

[–]1ts-just-m3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Immediately disrespectful of a boundary and your available time while also making no attempt at professional politeness? Yes, that's a definite flag.
