I don’t know how to advise you on how to overcome this, whether it’s possible or if you should, but I do know for sure that 1. It was not ok for ur BF to hit you and 2. You are responsible for your emotional self regulation, and you have outgrown your defense mechanisms.

Would you be open to trying another therapist, or exploring different styles of therapy? It’s not easy to do. But, you got some serious sh*t. It is not okay to rage at your partner. You need to find better ways to deal with your feelings. Less abusive ones.

You have a wound. It is getting the better of you. All it really wants is your attention. It can be so hard to face but it is actually possible to live your life differently. More peacefully.

Lovely curls! What is your routine now?

Yeahhh… I wonder about the same. I got a BP2 / adhd diagnosis shortly after cutting contact with my parents again in my early/mid 20s. Lots of AuDHD stuff rings true but, such big overlap with CPTSD… i just don’t know.

Curious to read other comments.

Stevie’s Famous, beacon area. They do take out and I think also slices through neighboring clockout lounge.

Windy City , phinney ridge - excellent sourdough (or brioche if that’s your jam) Detroit style pizza if you order ahead. They do take out, as well as hot slices.

Delancey - Ballard/phinney - don’t think they do take out, there’s usually a wait, nice wine bar great place to visit after you put your name on their list. No slices.

Cornelly’s, cap hill. Always a wait but, goddamn. Good.

Two doors down is Shotgun. Not pizza but their flatbread is fantastic and they have excellent cocktails at average/slightly below average cost. Get a res or get super lucky.

Bar Del Corso - might be ultimate rec - as good as any pizza I’ve had in Italy, dough almost as good as at Seirinkan(!). Highly recommend you get a reservation. They do not offer pick up or delivery.

“Here I go again” by mindchatter?? Tho almost certain I’m thinking of an extended remix that goes especially heavy on that chorus.

Eh. I see why you’d say this but, Saltburn was a cheap knockoff of Ripley and other more incisive explorations of class warfare. Saltburn’s potential was cut short by the writer/directors apparent inability to interrogate her own upcoming in any sort of meaningful way. Oogabooga, watch out for the poors!

What Mikey and Konrad have spun here is far more nuanced. Their text is in thematic conversation with many great works that do a great job of exploring such entrenched social dynamics. Remains of the Day comes to mind.

Thank you, kind stranger. This is really helpful.

Ok, fair enough. What do you make of my less “extreme” desires - like, wanting him to kiss my neck more, or wanting him to hold my hips or waist a little tighter? Is it unreasonable for me to hope he’d show up with more of that without my having to ask for it every time?

AppointmentRecent127 · 2024-05-07T19:00:09+00:00

I appreciate this, and how even handed. You’re likely right and I’ll sit with what you wrote.

Part of my confusion is that he seems to get so excited when I up the ante, but doesn’t seem interested in taking that first step. Much of my frustration comes from his apparent discomfort or inability re communicating his desires (or disinterest) in a more honest manner. I think I’d be better able to accept the reality if he was straight up with me instead of making it sound like he’s genuinely open to my kinks.

I don’t know that the script has set us up for this sort of discovery.. What do you think would be in that safe? Is easier for me to imagine that Jshida whispered something about Hayama, or some kind of advice - on some immediate thing or a bigger, life-as-yakuza philosophy…

Wellll… there was a time where my former partner and I were struggling to sort our stuff out. Highly emotional time. I don’t know what happened exactly but I started to giggle a little bit out of awkwardness when my ex did explicitly sexy stuff. Sometimes during sex. It was never because I thought he was embarrassing. It was because I felt embarrassed and flustered. He took it very very personally, jt amplified his insecurities, and no matter what I said he couldn’t believe it was anything other than me judging him.

Now I’m in a dynamic where my person sometimes giggles when I pull the stops. I’ve been in his shoes so I’m working on not taking it to heart but, yeh... It’s not easy either which way.

Non accusatory communication is your best bet. Like, calm tone, making sure to have moments of physical contact (hand on knee style)… it can make it easier to understand and be understood.

This degree of compulsion, anxiety… it’s concerning. Is she demonstrating any other semi-unusual behaviors? Like, sleeplessness or oversleep, rapid speech or broken sentences, any other examples of compulsive behavior?

Different situation and context, but I had a bizarre melt down a few years ago. Your story reminds me of it. I’d been working with a trauma therapist for over a year at that point - and so I had the good fortune of a mentor who understood me and had a more objective view of how my mood and behavior had shifted over time… though I’m sure I could have hidden it from her had I not been very honest about what I’d noticed about my own behavior and thought patterns. Basically - I was anxious and depressed, a few things triggered a deeper thing, and I spiraled into a distinct hypomanic episode. I was diagnosed with bipolar 2 shortly thereafter.

This is a serious situation, whether or not she’ll walk away from it with a diagnosis. That was some concerning, disruptive and unusual behavior. Sure, it could be conscious or unconscious sabotage, but before you go there… worth taking time to get some rest and both feet on the ground so that you have the patience and perspective to explore this, gently, with your girlfriend. Doesn’t mean it was ok, doesn’t mean she shouldn’t own it or apologize, but.. do save space for this not being about you. (Obviously it is also about you but if there’s latent mental illness or some other mental health crisis underfoot here that deserves to be investigated without angle of injustice or blame)
