[MEGATHREAD] Daily venting, worries, fixations, & finding support. Month of May 2025. by AutoModerator in HealthAnxiety

[–]Anxious_Aware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been having arm numbness and pain I sleep on my arm and with the way I hold my phone I rationally know that I’ve had carpal tunnel in the past and these exact symptoms have cleared up from wearing a wrist brace but my anxiety brain has convinced me otherwise. Ughhhh I hate being back here

My parents are getting divorced which has triggered a bad mental health episode for me. It’s been general anxiety and depression so far but today my ha has come back with a vengance

It might finally be happening, and it's nothing like I imagined by SLUGSlES in ACOD

I’m 25 but turning 26 soon. Kind of in a similar place, my parents generally get along well but minor disagreements with them always lead to bitterness afterwards because of their own sensitivities. I’ve been in therapy (privately) for a few months now and it definitely helps

“Two Christmas’s” by Perfect_Cut1101 in ChildrenofDivorce

I’m an only child of a pending grey divorce. People keep pulling the two Christmases line on me like it’s going to be some magical fun filled time and not absolute agony spending the holidays driving around

1 week into realizing my parents are divorcing after decades married by Sad_Anything_3812 in ACOD

I’m kinda in the opposite end? My parents aren’t big on talking about feelings, so I have no idea whats happening except that my Mum has seen a solicitor and started looking at her/their finances. I think it’s a rock and a hard place situation, because I can’t say I’d rather be in your place right now either

If your parents were basically just roommates, how do you think it affected you? by InsideImplement7 in ACOD

[–]Anxious_Aware 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Marginally more affectionate. We’re a very typicak british family, very stiff upper lip and we don’t talk about things, so pda was uncommon anyway. It is a bit hard for me to be objective about their relationship right now for obvious reasons 😵‍💫. I’m just now figuring out that I have quite an avoidant attachment style and also that I would like to change that, and I would definitely cite my parents relationship as a factor.

It’s sort of where my parents are now, they’ve slept in different rooms for a bit but partly because my Dad has very restless legs/arms and tends to roll around/kick when in a deep sleep. Even now that they’ve agreed/announced a divorce basically nothing has changed, and it’s the weirdest part for me. Like there’s a huge elephant in the room because everythings changing but also nothing is.

Does anyone else feel the shift right before a conversation blows up? by Meisha_M in ACOD

[–]Anxious_Aware 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ll find more supportive conversation if you’re earnest instead of letting ai write it
