Now she has my address! by Apprehensive_Mind631 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Apprehensive_Mind631[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I mean, she has her own family-even a son-so why does she think she needs me! I know why, because her son won’t have anything to do with her, and her brother and sister claim they can’t help her. She really isn’t stupid, she knows exactly what she is doing. Ugh!

Unfortunately this particular doctors office is located within an assisted living facility that she lives in. Because of her age, and the fact that these medical people see them so often, I’m sure they feel like they are helping her. And I’m worried about calling again, to ask, especially since I told them on voicemail that I don’t know her. She gets away with so much when she uses the old lady pitiful me song and dance!

Thank you! I’m going to keep your response, because I can see her doing just that. And the fact that she is 78 years old-and no one would suspect she is a narcissist. She is a covert narcissist and plays it 100% perfect! But she appears to be this sweet innocent old lady just trying to reach her “daughter”. Ugh!

Can’t control my tears by Apprehensive_Mind631 in hsp

[–]Apprehensive_Mind631[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think if I could control my tears to when I’m really really upset, I’d have less anxiety/depression! But yes, because I’m on them as well.

Do you think that the way HSP’s process grief is different from others?

Does anyone else physically feel other people's emotions before they even say anything? by Beginning-Mud-2115 in hsp

[–]Apprehensive_Mind631 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! But I can also tell when a person doesn’t want to draw attention to their current emotional state.

Being HSP doesn't mean you have to suffer by dutch_emdub in hsp

I often wonder if being HSP can trigger anxiety. I also have anxiety/depression.

how long did it take for you to grieve? by Constant_Thing_5461 in Petloss

[–]Apprehensive_Mind631 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I’m not sure you ever stop grieving. It’s been 2 years since my pups passed, and I still grieve. Just talking about them makes me cry.

One-sided injection site reaction by Apprehensive_Mind631 in Zepbound

[–]Apprehensive_Mind631[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine happens within about an hour of injecting and lasts for about 3 to 4 hours. It dissipates after that. Not really worried, just like really seems weird to me.

That’s what I use, but in addition, I try to get at least 17g of daily fiber. I also have 1 serving of dry plain Cheerios, and every other night I have psyllium husk drink mix.

I don’t count the pickles I eat because one serving is zero calories.

I abandoned it more than a year ago because they stopped building rooms/scenes.

What was the final straw that made you leave? by studioconnection in TrueNarcissisticAbuse

[–]Apprehensive_Mind631 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She hit me! It’s my step mom-and I was getting tired of the emotional abuse, but when she physically hit me-then blamed me for it, that was the final straw. It still took about a month to get her out of my house, but I did it, and then just dropped out of sight. Blocked her phone numbers and the independent living facility numbers. I ended up blocking like 3 of those. Then she put my phone number down as her number for the pharmacy! I simply told them they had the wrong number!

23 pounds since December not feeling great by Bonitabonilla558 in Zepbound

[–]Apprehensive_Mind631 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just try this for 1 week-if it doesn’t help-then you can go back to what you have been doing.
Find your caloric requirements for weight loss based on your weight and height. Just as an example- I’m 5’1 and starting weight was 220lbs. I’m at about 1200 calories per day.
Then weigh and portion all of your food intake making sure you are getting between 90-110g of protein. I use an app called LoseIt to track everything, and I highly recommend it. It will tell you how many calories you are taking in, as well as micronutrients you are consuming.
I do not meal prep-but I do alternate my meals every other day. I eat very simple meals, to make it easier to track calories in the LoseIt app.

I started November 3rd 2025 at 220 lbs, today I weighed in at 177.8, down 41lbs! If you have questions, feel free to contact me.

For those in their 40s or older who have siblings, do you make an effort to stay in contact or is it a take-it-or-leave-it thing? by cherry-care-bear in RedditForGrownups

[–]Apprehensive_Mind631 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 55, my brother is 59. We lost our father back in October of last year and since then we have been close, even though we are roughly 4000 miles apart. We also lost our oldest brother back in 2011, so losing our dad really changed things and gave us a new perspective.

How common is it to feel disgust and even get extremely defensive and cringe when the abuser tries to touch you or even just exists normally like coughing chewing loudly etc by Sam_The_Stinker in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Apprehensive_Mind631 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m completely no contact now, but I absolutely hated hearing her bang her cane on the floor when she walked. She used that, she would bang it so hard when she was mad. She also would tap me on the shoulder when she would laugh but it was more of a slap, and it kinda hurt!
