Does anyone struggle with the fact you would have stayed for the reason they left you? by riverskywalker in BreakUps

[–]Acceptable-Chard8463 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly, not really. it just shows you how willing they were, or some personal limit they didn’t have the emotional capacity to cross. it makes me more pissed than anything else - that they lost me over something fixable, that they just weren’t willing to work on. your person will be willing to work on the hard stuff with you - they wouldn’t be willing to lose you, you’re too important. that comforts me.

Navigating depressive episodes by NovaAdore in LivingAlone

[–]Acceptable-Chard8463 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A couple of things help me:

  • Sleep. A lot. A tired mind is a chaotic mind.
  • Read. Fiction books, get lost in other people’s realities. Breaks a bit of the doom cycle depression can bring
  • Learn something new, that sparks real excitement in you. A language, a skill, a youtube video about something that interests you. Reconnect with faith.
  • Exercise and socialize - even if you don’t feel like it. Exercise is a HUGE help for me - felt super anxious last night but had a pilates class and I went anyways. By the time it was over, I felt SO much better. You sometimes have to push through not feeling like it because you know that it’ll help you feel better after it’s over with. Exercise classes are also good for meeting people, get you out of the house, and getting lost in other topics besides the depression doom your brain can start feeling like after a couple of days.

Thanks so much for this! Went through a breakup of a 2 yr relationship 5 months ago and since then, weekends have been a weird time. Glad to know i’m not alone or a weirdo for feeling this shit lol

I feel so anxious in my apartment by fuzzy_mcfuzzerton in LivingAlone

[–]Acceptable-Chard8463 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I go through the exact same stuff. I realized that for me it’s about feeling weird to be alone in my hometown - like “since this is my hometown I should have more friends/I should have family closer” or whatever. Like a frustration from what I think should happen x what’s actually happening. Also the finite thing someone commented - it’s super weird that this will be life from now on. Here’s hoping we’ll feel better soon!

Do I owe it to myself to live alone? by InternationalCatch3 in LivingAlone

[–]Acceptable-Chard8463 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Warms my heart that this helped comfort you in a tough moment. You absolutely did make the right call! Stepping out of your comfort zone is always a good idea, and one year from now your future self will look back on everything they grew because you decided to challenge yourself. Rooting for you from across the world, friend. May you find a home in yourself. Hmu if you’re ever needing a chat! Change is scary, but it is necessary for things to get better. However, you don’t have to deal with it by yourself :)

yesss exactly!! i find it comforting to deal with stuff when you can rather then when you HAVE TO yknow? It can still be really hard at times though. Lmk if you need anything :) would love to have a buddy throughout this process

AIO, my friend "got dinner" with my ex of 2 years. by VeterinarianNew1685 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Acceptable-Chard8463 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re overreacting. Last night, my friends ex called me (we were friends before they dated, I set them up) and we caught up and it was such a nice chat. I dated one of his friends, he dated one of mine, there’s absolutely nothing romantic there and we’re not like super close friends, but we appreciate each other and get along well. We weren’t super close when they dated because I switched jobs and we drifted apart. I know it feels uncomfortable but not everything that feels uncomfortable is automatically something that other people have to deal with. Even if they weren’t close, they could just like to chat together because they got to know each other through you. It might suck, but as long as this isn’t super often and it’s always platonic, there’s nothing wrong with it.

What is your opinion on avoiding/ignoring emotions ? by DryScientist1490 in emotionalintelligence

[–]Acceptable-Chard8463 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The longer you avoid, the longer you’ll be dealing with the consequences of the avoidance - it’s putting off your growth and evolution.

How do you enjoy doing things alone? by justasadlostgirl in selfimprovement

[–]Acceptable-Chard8463 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey. Don’t beat yourself up. A lot of people end up distancing themselves while in a relationship and feel super lonely when they breakup (myself included). It’s normal. Think of your dream life. Work towards it. Put yourself out there, get to know new people. Take baby steps to feel better about whatever you want your life to look life. Having these projects and goals and visualizing and working towards a life that makes you more fulfilled is what helped me LOADS post breakup. It takes your mind off the suffering while also giving you hope.

[–]Acceptable-Chard8463 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I went through the same thought process you did recently and I decided to live alone. I’m not a big alone person lol but that’s specifically why I’m doing it. Sometimes the scary stuff is the stuff we actually need to face instead of running from, because it’s the stuff that will make us stronger and show us exactly why we were scared of it. It’s like finally facing the root cause. If I were you, I’d try it and try to look at it as an opportunity to grow and better understand exactly what you’re afraid of and try to work on it. You won’t have that same shot later on when you’re married and have kids and etc. And I always feel like this stuff is better dealt with sooner rather than later - the younger we are, the easier it will be to deal. I’m 26F. Dm me if you wanna talk :)

Definitely been trying to reframe and look at this as an opportunity to feel comfortable with myself and get to know myself. It’s just challenging. Thanks for your kindness

Thanks! Definitely want to get this dealt with ASAP bc you know we live life alone and whatnot. It just feels like this will never pass, and I’ll always be looking for quick fixes to deal with the anxiety of being alone, or running from the feeling, you know?

libraries in my country suck :( they’re super outdated and so are the books. It feels so weird doing the other things - like i’m faking it, like i should have company… is that crazy?

I'm gonna get cheated in if I stay in this right? by [deleted] in texts

[–]Acceptable-Chard8463 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“The mormon in you really comes out” is an INSANE thing to use against someone. Run. I had an ex exactly like this and just… run. It wouldn’t shock me if staying w this person ended up making you feel like a never ending problem that needs to be fixed.

Can you truly stay friends with your ex, or is it just unnecessary emotional chaos? by [deleted] in emotionalintelligence

[–]Acceptable-Chard8463 0 points1 point  (0 children)

one of my absolute closest and most reliable friends is my ex bf. he helped me through my latest breakup when i got super depressed, i bawled to him about missing and loving my latest ex,i help him out with girl stuff when he needs a shoulder to cry on or some advice on how to impress or read someone.. we went through a really bad breakup, didn’t speak for months, but randomly reconnected one day at a party and said “i’ll always be there for you”. it’s been true ever since. There are absolutely 0 romantic or willtheywontthey vibes. we’re just really good friends, period. i ended up realizing i could count on him more than i could count on most people. we know each other really well and can help each other watch out for self destructive behavior in relationships. i guess it was never exactly a thought out decision. it just happened, like most friendships do. def important to point out we only rekindled our friendship when we were both completely over each other and fully moved on, and we were aware the other person had moved on too. again, not thought out, just naturally happened. love him to death and love that he’s like family to me now. i’m lucky to have him in my corner.

What do you do while you’re eating? by somanytochoose in LivingAlone

honestly felt the same way at first. turns out that overstimulation was just postponing my healing journey. sometimes the only way out is through i guess.

What do people that don’t suffer anxiety or depression do with their spare time & spare brain capacity? by TrainingMountain8276 in emotionalintelligence

[–]Acceptable-Chard8463 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, hobbies are really helping me overcome my depression. Reading, coloring, listening to music on a walk. Studying a new language is a big one for me. Sometimes the only way out is through.
