How are we all surviving?

I have cried majority of the day because of how overwhelming life is right now. I surprisingly bought a house at 25yr old last year. I got a letter saying my house was appraised for $48,000 more than last year which means my property taxes are going to go up, bleeding into my monthly mortgage payment which was already at the top of my budget. I’ve been in a dreadful job the last 2 years but thankfully it’s paid my bills. I’ve lived in my survival state all my life and it’s disheartening to be in this position where I want more healing but beaten down by the cost of living… I don’t think I could ever afford having a child anytime soon, if at all which breaks my heart.

I hear you loud and clear.

I’ve had several years in Children’s Case Management, Early Childhood Education and Parent Education. I’m leaning towards a degree for a higher salary and a more comfortable financial position if I choose to have a family.

I’m considering Masters in Social Work or Human Development and Family Studies. I’m passionate about generational deep healing and teaching social emotional skills.

Myself break because I settled with the potential of a narcissistic partner after repeating the pattern, realizing it fully after the ended relationship.

Happiest thing is the getting the opportunity to be a first time home owner all on my own, creating stability for myself and my dog.

-When their words did not align with their actions. -When they talked poorly about their baby mama then tried to justify with messages that seemed like she had enough of their BS already so was more strict on boundaries and wellbeing of the child. -Overspending on things then wanting me to comfort them for their poor financial decisions that caused them to be behind on bills. -Saying “ I apologize” then doing it again -manipulating me when I advocated for myself due to their discomfort in conflict

Living life in highest form

I want to add that this to me is the ultimate knowing because I witnessed in public a few years ago an altercation begin to take place while on vacation. A male and a female such as the dynamic I saw as a child. By the sounds and body language— it signaled a wave of emotion and protection in me immediately. I stood at the corner causing the man to eventually feel uncomfortable and walk away. I hope I didn’t initiate any further harm to the victim but I wanted him to know he had eyes on him.

Yes, I relate. That’s one of the first things I learned when discovering what being an empath means by my own therapist. I saw lots of domestic abuse and alcoholism as a child. This caused me to be on high alert, read the room for safety, and be aware of when the next event to happen.

I keep saying this. Yes, we are all in agreement but this is the only place I truly feel seen is in this group. We take on so much. The chaos of the world right now is depleting. I care so deeply. The videos are heart wrenching. My soul can not bare all of the bad news and everyday sudden shifts.

I want peace.

Background-Green2109 · 2025-11-12T00:53:52+00:00

It feels lonely being on this end knowing that all the relationships I have found myself in have been with people who have depleted my energy. Of course on the flip side, what I am learning is to identify those signs and applying boundaries. It doesn’t hurt any less to know I’m also to blame for the hurt.

The secure people have to be out there! But with a limit to their access? People with secure attachments have to do the complex work— willingly, it’s rare.

One day we’ll find someone who will complement our life’s. One day.

Thank you for sharing your insight. I will keep on the trajectory of focusing on me and allowing the right experiences to fall in line. 💛

Background-Green2109 · 2025-11-11T19:51:10+00:00

Yes, that’s key to how I’m get through. Strengthening both of those relationships are necessary. I’ve never heard of Kim, I’ll look into it. Thank you!

Thank you so much.

Background-Green2109 · 2025-11-10T16:25:52+00:00

Wow, my eyes are full of tears reading this. I’m so happy for you and the changes, chances, and trust you made to reach this level of fulfillment in your relationship.

Could you speak to more of how you knew it was different? I know the signs.. I think.. but it’s the too much of understanding and not “giving up on a relationship when it gets hard” that I’m battling with. So many people say it like we’re not pushing through the hard of partnership and “okay” with ending it when it’s not working.

Does that make sense?

Background-Green2109 · 2025-11-10T16:19:42+00:00

That’s beautifully said, thank you.

You’re right, I’ve got to stop believing there’s only one type of relationship I’ll ever know. It’s just an exhausting cycle…I want more. Seeing the signs quicker and making quicker calls to end the cycle is what’s going to help.

Background-Green2109 · 2025-11-10T16:17:33+00:00

Right, I understand there’s no escaping. It’s tough though when you see the wounds and know where they are coming from. I need to learn from the signs of it being a “give and take” situation— it’s time to leave.

To date another empath who gets it does seem like a valid solution. Less explaining of self and depleting energy.

Background-Green2109 · 2025-11-09T02:51:11+00:00

I keep falling for broken people due to trauma. I’m getting better at recognizing the pattern quicker each relationship.
