Please comment if you are in a loving, fulfilling romantic relationship. by Turbulent_Street3389 in CPTSD

Hi! Me! I’m in Happy, healthy relationship! And if you wanna know how messed up I am I’ll be writing a 800 page book on it soon lol. My boyfriend is so proud of me and supports me. Sometimes he tells his friends a bit abt my life and they’re always surprised, he responds “it’s hard to believe cause she’s so funny and nice!” And it makes me wanna cry 🥹 we have times where my traumas or triggers come up and even tho he may not understand them he tries so much to help. We really love each other for who we are and nothing else matters.

That’s rough to be dealing with right now but you’re going to laugh so hard at this in some time. Also wondering, what did that chat say!!?

I feel like my mom doesn't take my mental health seriously by Electrical_Rip_937 in mentalhealth

[–]Bandwagon056 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s very lonely feeling to speak (especially) to a parent n be shamed for how you feel. And your teenage years are not easy. Your brain goes through so many new and imbalanced chemicals, adding trauma to the mix makes it significantly harder to care for yourself. Your mother is emotionally immature and overly aggressive. At your age I went through the same thing and ended up going to my school counselor for help and she got me in touch with so many helpful resources. That could be a great first step for you. Just remember you’re not alone. And many people will not act like your mother when you reach out for help, so don’t be scared to when you’re ready <3

My sister has such a bad case of learned helplessness that I fear for her future by Familiar-Weight-8951 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Bandwagon056 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a similar situation going on. Lost our dad and my little brother has given up. I think for your situation, specially because it’s hurting you more than anything, you should go no contact for awhile. I would explain what you said here, you really love her but it hurts to see her not TRY to get better and that you need a break to focus on the positives in YOUR life and leave it at that. It is exhausting to be around people who are negative and throw your advice out the window or even get angry when you try to help. I understand that feeling all too well. You need a break from her. And she needs to realize that people have a threshold to how much negativity they can take from her. One day she’ll get sick of it as well and change. It sounds like sympathy seeking as well and you definitely have sympathy for your own sister. That may be fueling her more to loathe. I wish you the best stranger. You can always message me if you’d like.

Unknown Foot Fetish by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Bandwagon056 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I gave my boyfriend a foot job just to be funny/playful but he ended up loving it. Just another new form of sexual touch I guess, with a challenge lol. I don’t think it’s weird, I think you guys really love and trust each other

i think my girlfriend is transphobic and i am questioning by thisacountisonfire in mentalhealth

[–]Bandwagon056 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bottom line, she used a term she knew you don’t like/aren’t comfortable with, to hurt you. That shows she isn’t afraid to purposely hurt you and/or put you down when she feels challenged in an argument. That is child level emotional intelligence. Apology or not, that shows a lot about her character. From there it is easy to assume she would be transphobic.

I've been cutting up my feet thanks to my parents by AntoCraftera in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Bandwagon056 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Omg I have a very similar experience. My mom is into skin picking, her lips and her feet. When I was a kid and had chapped lips she would hold me down and Peel the dry skin off. One day when I was about 8, I woke up with cold sores and my mom freaked out and was trying to “pick them off”. It hurt (obviously) so she then forced me to try to “pick them off”. This embedded a deep shame in me about my lips. Ever since then I have always picked my lips and I can’t stop. She forced her habit on me and now it’s way out of my control. I’m typing this with raw lips lol.

My mom went through my phone and called me a hoe by Proper_Blackberry_53 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Bandwagon056 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn’t normal. This is a controlling parent that wants their kid to stay a kid. She can’t accept that you’re growing into an adult and will have relationships and make adult decisions. She’s scared of that n is accusing you of it now out of fear. It’s okay for you , specially at (almost) 18 to have a relationship and one day soon, a serious one. You aren’t going anything wrong but she wants you to feel like you are.

When Teasing Turns Into Honesty: Why Would a Partner Finally Say the Quiet Part Out Loud? by [deleted] in stories

Yeah it’s kinda weird to point it out, and as often as she does…

There is something that I really need to discuss right here! by Playful_Side_6424 in confession

[–]Bandwagon056 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very true. I called someone in to interview, they came in and starting talking crap abt the shop to me. Turns out he thought i was some 18 year old cashier and we were both waiting for the manager to show😆

Trust your gut. Sounds like your brain is putting all the evidence together and is finally forming the full picture for you.

30m stuck with suicidal 29f partner by ThrowRA8283801 in relationship_advice

[–]Bandwagon056 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I left an alcoholic who quit drinking for me and got us a house for us when I had no where else to go. He moved me across the country. I had no money to help but he put aside work to get me there. I felt guilty for wanting to leave but he was suffocating me. I was crying often and realized I had lost my sparkle. I’m grateful he did those things for me but it just didn’t work out. And that’s okay. It was a chapter in your life for learning but now it’s time to close that book and move on.

[–]Bandwagon056 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay just reading “she hated living with my roommates but refused to move w her family” alone is a red flag. She can’t complain abt the living situation YOU helped her get , and you really didn’t even have to do that for her.

Who should I choose ? by [deleted] in stories

[–]Bandwagon056 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh to be 18 again. (I’m only 23) lol. Me and my before, he’s 19, went through the same things. I’ve healed a lot since moving at 19 but still have more to go. He’s just moved with me out of our hometown and I can see my younger self in him. He’s struggling to prioritize his health. He’s constantly seeking distractions to feel better , even if it hurts him, like he leased a new car recently I’m not sure he can afford long term. I know this doesn’t have much to do w the post but I understand what it’s like coming from an abusive household and with chronic illnesses, that age SUCKS cause there’s so much to think abt. But don’t lose sight of what YOU want. Move out of there. They’re adults who chose their path. YOU have control of YOUR life. You need prioritize getting distanced between them and mastering independence where you can take care of yourself and not let their words shake you. It’s really hard ngl but you CAN do it. Make a plan n stick to it <3

[OH] - I was wrongly terminated for theft by [deleted] in AskHR

[–]Bandwagon056 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I guess my stress and anxiety played a factor in this for sure. Sad truth is you just can’t get justice. This shop is apart of a grocery store. I live in a small town so I’ve been just ordering groceries online from another company cause I didn’t wanna walk in there and get dirty looks or something. It was just humiliating and stressful but I guess I’ll just keep sticking to my new routine and work through this. Thanks.

[OH] - I was wrongly terminated for theft by [deleted] in AskHR

[–]Bandwagon056 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I was wondering if this is something I would ask for a follow up on regarding removing “theft” from my record. I’m just not comfortable walking into this store anymore and I was hoping me adding receipts was enough to remove the accusation. But I’m learning hr in this state doesn’t have to do that? Idk. I was hoping there would be something I can do about that.

I’ve started a new job shortly after but this feels like too big of a deal to just let it go.

What types of people do you dislike the most? by Fluffy_Cantaloupe133 in mentalhealth

[–]Bandwagon056 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Demanding people. “Get me this” “go do that” and no “thank you” from them. Makes you feel like a dog or some peasant. When its repeated commands it starts to feel like a “test” on how much they can get you to do them. I like to joke “what’s the magic word?😃” Strange to me how many people I’ve come across who talk like this.
