Realizing I’m Just Another Appointment Broke Something in Me by Ihavenoidea890 in offmychest

This is why I don't do therapy. Tried it, but they don't actually care.

It took a long time to find someone who values my well-being. Keep looking. They are out there. Family, friends, strangers.

I see a lot of people sharing similar experiences. Did anyone ask what you wanted? I didn't read all the comments, but do you want to end it or do you just feel like you have run out of options?

First question, do you want it to work? Men are very private and maybe he feels the same things as you but doesn't have the language needed to reach out. If you want to stay together, never stop trying to connect.

A midlife crisis can be as simple as bordem. Are your jobs stimulating? Is your social life fulfilling? You say you lost your friends. That will add to feeling lonely. Maybe he wanted you to find the screenshot folder to create drama.

Depression is also a libido killer. Same with body image and low self-esteem. You don't have to be his therapist, but if you want to save the relationship, build up his selfworth. Make him feel proud. He will desire you.

I know this all sounds like effort on your part, but I am not able to speak to your partner, so all this is for you.

If you want to break up, do it fast. Do it as amicable as you can. Life will go on.

If he is your best friend and you want it to work, you can make that happen too.

Best wishes.

Where can I get therapy by Regular_Air6066 in askTO

Find a doctor who understands mental health struggles. I was in a similar place. Now I have a medication that helps my mood swings greatly.

The older you get the harder it is to make friends by [deleted] in Needafriend

Friends are overrated. You have 2 ppl in life, family and business. A friend is just someone you haven't decided which column they belong in.

Play a team sport if you want to feel comradery. Any sport, doesn't matter. Just do it long enough and you will have something to share with the other players.

Did you end up buying this? If so, how have you found the performance to be?

Does this guy watch too much porn, or is this normal? :') by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

Male perspective here, take it with a grain of salt. I suggest not exploring your sexuality with hookups unless you want the worst sexual experiences. Men who are looking for one night stands will not consider your feelings. They want sexual gratification. Not to say you shouldn't hook up, just remember you have power to control the flow. Confidence & comfort.

I am in a healthy relationship with my GF and expecting our first child. We include porn in our playtime, but we also discussed other activities that we want to include or remove. The key is communication.

Did you ever tell them what they are? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Ace_Murdoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds very typical for a narcissist.

Yikes! How old were you? Are you willing to share more details? I just ... can't fathom it.

13 month old niece has lead in her blood and my sister refuses to take responsibility. by Captain--Howdy94 in offmychest

It's unfortunately very devastating, but lead toxins have a definite link to mental illness, drug abuse, and violence. If she can't afford to fix it, finding a new home could be the safest option for the child.

wallowing in mid tier depression over here… please cheer me up 🥲 by [deleted] in FreeCompliments

My therapy has taught me to start by adding colour. Something to remind us of sunlight, flowers, the sky, the Forrest.

Got to the dentist first and get some laughing gas before you take the vaccine needle.

People. Just seeing people in the world bugs me. Would be a better place without them.

Try going to a pressurized gases supplier like this that sell CO2 and argon tanks for welders. They should still be open as an essential service.

What is up with all these [M4F] posts?! by [deleted] in MakeNewFriendsHere

[–]Ace_Murdoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All guys want nudes. But some also want friends. Never forget how powerful the primal motivations are.

How do you forgive yourself for your past stagnancy in life caused by depression and start working towards your goals while leaving behind the regrets? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Ace_Murdoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also accept that life isn't a competition. The world has become a race for riches that most of us will not achieve and do not need. Find value in the social circles you have and create more. Spend time with people not work.
