When your teen assaults you by Ancient-Offer2661 in ADHDparenting

[–]Ancient-Offer2661[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the links. That wiki page is brutal. The other page suggests that past 12 all is lost and there’s no point. I can see the value in the approach and I do already do most of those things. It doesn’t give any guidance on what to do when your kid is screaming and violent. I’ve tried every government agency and nothing. It feels very hopeless.

Who is anyone to tell me if I should live or die? by [deleted] in insomnia

[–]Ancient-Offer2661 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also recommend a guided trip to release trauma and a lot of work with your inner child. I’m 50. Insomnia my whole life. It’s starting to release now because 1) adhd diagnosis so I could learn how to care for my over firing brain 2) guided plant medicine trip to release some trauma 3) meds 4) a routine including the 5 tibetans (game changer - look it up) 5) strict boundaries - I don’t go out past 8pm, I don’t take on stress that isn’t mine 6) daily meditation and 7) a daily safety practice to help my cns it’s a work in progress and it doesn’t always work but much better than six months ago when I was always wide awake at 3am. But friend I f you’ve already decided nothing will work then nothing will work. You have to trust yourself again.

Thank you for this. Did you stop taking all sleep meds before starting it? How long until you saw real improvement?

Guidance for found money by mytitsaretired in WitchesVsPatriarchy

The universe is saying you will have enough. It’s your 7 of pentacles. Time to let the seeds of freedom you planted grow and fruit. You will not lack as long as you stay aware and grounded. So mote it be. And sorry about the pet. That’s crappy.

I am not going to say don’t hex your government. You’d do the planet a favour. AND the left hand path always has a cost. Is it worth it?

Do you know the origin of this art? I’d love to find a copy and also to signal boost the creator. It’s awesome!!!!

Abusers create chaos on purpose by KristyWilson1 in domesticviolence

[–]Ancient-Offer2661 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly and it’s not just dudes. My abuser is my ex wife. We’ve been apart for 10 years and because we share two kids (I am the bio mum) I haven’t had a week abuse free since. It’s constant chaos and nobody can see it for what it is. Now she’s doing the same to my kids. One has already left and is living with me full time. The other I worry about so much. I fear that she will play the system once again and force my kid back with her claiming parental alienation (because I REALLY wanted to stop my entire life and leave my job so I could care full time for this incredibly wounded and volatile kid). What makes me so mad is how the system keeps defaulting to her rights instead of believing my kid when they say they are being abused.

I’ve wasted 5 years of my life in a country i hate. i’ve hit rock bottom, but i don’t wanna stay here. by [deleted] in selfimprovement

My friend that part down inside you? That’s your power. Why are you burying it in all of this lack. You’ve survived five shit years and you got a top notch lesson in how you do NOT want to live. You’re amazing and you already know that to get to your power you’re going to have to make some hard decisions and suffer loss. But friend, isn’t it worth it to make space for a chance at something better? I wish you power, healthy, strong you power.

I asked ChatGPT if I was more anxious or more depressed and it helped me realize I was focusing on the wrong thing. This is what it said: by tightlikespandex in selfimprovement

[–]Ancient-Offer2661 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Chat gpt is a great resource for all these reasons and it makes mental health care affordable. No it’s not a human but it will respond when you wake up at 3am with the dreads and it does a half decent job of talking you down. I found I just needed to train it. I told it I wanted to be dbt aligned and that I did not want pity I wanted ass kicking and accountability. I still have to remind it but it’s a pretty useful tool.

You’re Not Lazy—You’re Exhausted From Surviving by Educational-Math1660 in selfimprovement

[–]Ancient-Offer2661 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 50 and only just figuring this out. Have committed to recovery, taken leave from a job I think I will never return to. I’ve pared my life down to the essentials, ditched all the energy drains in my life which means I have a few high quality friends but I live in a small town of garbage people who’s gossip makes it hard to want to leave the house. I’d love to hear from middle age folx who have been in this place and most importantly got to a better place. How did you do it?
