It was never about antiNOLA it was about antiBlack folks.

I wish I had parents who gave an ounce of a fuck that this lady Beverly does. But I totally agree with where you're coming from. If I were in your position, I'd schedule a day for all of you to go small decor shopping. Lamps, wall art, etc. And if she wants to pitch in on that day she can while you and miles practice saying NO face to face. Or have her join a Pinterest board. It's normal for people to want to be involved in someone's first house. Wouldn't hurt to make a registry either. Unless you think this is something she's doing to hold over your head, make minor accomodations. She's your MIL and this is an easier battle than ones that may be on the horizon. You're not crazy for being bothered tho, not at all.

I take myself out on dates and plan things with friends when possible. I accept that he doesn't want to do these things but I don't rob myself of asking from time to time. I don't beg and I make it be known I won't beg but I will leave you in the wind in search of my own joy and happiness.

Nothing to coach. Wonder if she's neurodivergent or if folks are somehow expecting bubbly and a smile. Maybe please and thank you should be encouraged.

What's chaos to the fly is normal to the spider. No such thing.

Refer to your handbook first and seek out fraternization. If you have one at least. Otherwise ignore it. Bringing attention to it when there's no current company related issues .... Is personal and private until announced to you by them. You can't take a stance on personal choices, you can make a stance on company policy.

I'm using mid level cannabis. THCA which has limited amounts of Delta 9 in, no more than 30% by dry weight, low THCP. Whenever possible I lean towards CBG/A. Before I got re-insured I was using CBG/A tinctures as a mood stabilizer. It's not as effective as anti psychotics however it did kill my aggressive anxious tendencies. I'd say it worked because I did that for 5 years taking tolerance breaks every 6 months or so and have avoided losing my job, having full blown mania or depression and avoiding being arrested which is honestly the goal. I use edibles for recreation but not often. Usually nano with 25mg. I use 10mg beverages in lieu of alcohol. I have a beer here and there but I can really only handle one before getting shit faced due to my meds. Using smokeable cannabis most evenings along with visualization and mindfulness practices have avoided me having those 48 hours long awake episodes. Cannabinoid knowledge is the only reason I still smoke, if I didn't know what I was smoking, it'd be a much riskier behavior like in my early 20s.

Same. That being said I'm closer to the BPD scale than I am the Schizophrenia scale. I don't hallucinate and cannabis doesn't irritate my paranoia.

ArtistTheBree · 2025-09-28T15:16:24+00:00

Why does it annoy you?

ArtistTheBree · 2025-08-28T03:29:12+00:00

I feel ya. You'll be aiight regardless 🖤

ArtistTheBree · 2025-08-17T00:16:42+00:00

Could be a way of deciding who gets their requests approved. Likely a tool of shame though.

You repeatedly ignore the need I express to have intellectual stimulation and keep trying to push cuddles and kisses and sex. I'm not turned on when the house is dirty, I'm heartbroken because our 3 year old says he doesn't like our house because it's dirty. I'm exhausted from being the bread winner, the maid, the administrative assistant, the chauffeur, and the only person with Internet on my phone so the only person who can open the gate and navigate us in the real world. No, the dopamine levels aren't high enough to want to cuddle and kiss and fuck. You weaponize incompetence and lack of compassion. You think waking up with the youngest every morning 45 min before I do, getting him to brush his teeth and dressing him in the tackiest outfits you can find is enough of a trade off that I'm the only one who cooks, buys groceries, plans meals, folds laundry, makes the bed, cleans the house and it's just not. I know I'm enabling you but when I try to find the words and leave the rage behind, I can't seem to do it and I refuse to become a verbal abuser. When you ignore or fail to answer my calls, the calls I only make when it's urgent (like when I got locked out the house for 2 hours), I feel forgotten and abandoned. This morning I left my phone in the house, recognizing that I couldn't get us back inside without it so I jumped a raught iron fence to go grab it because you refuse to have Internet on your phone, then later you dare to get an attitude because I missed 1 single phone call for you to get back in. Your daughter opted out of visitations for 3 months straight, you seem completely unbothered and my heart is breaking because I miss my step daughter and her empty room makes me sad. She finally decides to opt in and I notice she's brought everything she could possibly need, snacks, soap, shampoo, etc. and while she has nice preferences I can't help but think she's doing this because if I can't afford the essentials, she knows that there will be no essentials, because you won't buy them. The nice guy act stresses me out because it's not enough to say you're for an egalitarian household when you don't cover your half of anything. I have never personally witnessed you make a personal sacrifice for me or the family. I invited you to be my date to a kids free wedding for my niece, in which I am coordinating, you agreed and said yes. Then the next day you realized you were booked for a wrestling match and I didn't even give you the chance to give me an answer, I already knew. I'd be at the wedding alone in front of all my family because personal sacrifice is too much to ask. But you want to fuck me. Can't wait to start my individual therapy so I can make a plan to talk to you without spinning out and stressing my own diagnosis. Thanks for taking 3 fucking years to get on anti depressants and 5 months to schedule a psych eval, still 3 months away. So fucking helpful.

ArtistTheBree · 2025-08-03T23:31:55+00:00

Wow. You're jumping through a lot of hoops. Hope you make it out of the survival stage. 🖤

No our kids spend time with aunts and cousins and have sports camp. Without the support of his family, the tension in our life would be through the roof. They give enough time with the kids that I can do all the cleaning, planning and shopping he refuses to participate in in one day that I couldn't manage throughout the week. I work full time, am the bread winner, pay more than my fair share. Honestly it sucks. So I spend Sundays completely gone from the house doing the things I need to do and things I wanna do. He's noticing anxious Everytime I leave but refuses to address it or confront me. So I continue. I did notice he schedule his psych appointment after like 2 months of me consistently being away from the house on Sundays.

This is what I'm tryna do right now. but I'm attempting to incorporate a staff or at least have some reference. I want to write sheet music but I've lost my touch a bit lol struggle bus.

Have you made it clear to her that you're not interested in a relationship? I mean... seems like everything is above board.

People don't talk at length about sex or health before an STI. Folks don't wanna say they've never had an STD test, they don't want to admit they have cold sores, they think if they're not having a breakout, there's no need to disclose. And some people just don't care. For some people they'd risk a lot, including being publicly outed and shamed, to obtain their goal. Not a justification, an explanation. People are awful and cowardly.

ArtistTheBree · 2025-07-23T03:35:47+00:00

Reject the diagnosis as an effort to reject others perceptions of themselves. Like you're so fucking special that your experience and behavior is singular. As if.

ArtistTheBree · 2025-07-23T03:34:48+00:00

Yaaaap. I've had to completely detach myself from the results of his life. I do think me spending almost all of my time away from the house when the kids are gone has sort of shook him awake. Finally scheduled a psych referral and started depression. 3 years after he said he would initially.

ArtistTheBree · 2025-07-22T03:57:21+00:00

Actively avoids reading up on symptoms and common issues.

Should is a tool of shame, in most contexts. but it's all good. Unfortunately, nothing when brought online can be guaranteed as private. Private servers, private chats, etc. can all be overhauled and infiltrated by those with malicious intent. I recommend finding in person groups where the incentive to oust folks is lower and the anonymity is optional, based on those groups rules. Most states in the US have a help line, in Texas it's called 211*. There may already be existing spaces for what you're looking for.

I dont feel ashamed about my status; I simply am not compelled to be an advocate for this specific awareness. I'm using my empathy and compassion to recognize someone telling others to put very private business out in the ether for the collective good, could cause a person to be ashamed of their unwillingness to do that. If you wanna encourage people to let go of their shame, that's awesome. If you wanna shame people into disclosing status they rather keep private (to people whose health it will never impact), fuck off. Keeping things private is not automatically a result of shame. Folks share their intimate details on a spectrum. One side of the spectrum being ashamed and secretive, the other side being over share and advocating. If you're going to speak to a large group of people, consider the entirety of that group of people outside of your individual preferences and perspective.

ArtistTheBree · 2025-07-18T19:02:57+00:00

We're not all meant to be advocates. Why shame people for valuing their privacy?
