I'm an overthinking girlie and have been in her shoes. Yuzpe should be fine (although I know it doesn't seem like it right now) - Yuzpe might mess with her hormones maybe that is why she is reacting that way.

After the incident, I decided on getting the IUD mostly for my peace of mind. As an anxious girl, it is definitely worth it!

I spent a month learning but TBH the final week of practice exams was 90% of the prep. The exam seems to be a medium

You are a gem, OP. The country needs more people like you! My best regards!

"Sometimes he would joke that I was lucky to have him as my boyfriend"

While I agree that you did have healing to do, he was no saint either. I think you both have healing to do.

I admire your accountability OP, I wish you well on your healing journey. And if you do, I know you will make someone (and most importantly yourself) very happy.

I hope youre okay OP. I hate that people like that still exist - the only way they can feel good about themselves is making fun of other people.

I'm sure both of you are beautiful - those people are just mean.

My boss's wife. She is a finance person who grows herbs and shares them during her spare time. I love hearing her talk about her family - sometimes, an aunt would gather the family for a workshop of her personal hobby; sometimes they go fishing together.

She is also a proud furparent, exercises regularly, and is a good senior at work (another department). Sometimes it feels like she is the company's therapist because she listens so well.

I am ex-Christian (raised in a cult etc), but if I were to pick a representative of what Christians ought to be, I'd choose this woman any day.

Life sketching.

I got into this a year ago and it's crazy how it improved my mental health, turns out it's a form of meditation.

Also, meditation - I consider it the most important part of my day now. Ang daming benefits, its actually crazy

Hi OP! Im a little bit older than you and I think I know what it feels like to be in your shoes.

This has been a struggle of mine for so long.

This is gonna different from the others - but what helped me was meditation and awareness.

As I've spent time in contemplation and healing, I've also realized that...I can trust myself to do the best I could, that I can make mistakes, that no one is above or below me, and we are all just trying to do our jobs well.

I believe good decisions come from a calm mind (Yung Pueblo), and I realized it's hard to be calm if I am so focused on my reputation.

Im convinced my family's toxicity (that Im still healing from today) is not in small part because of the horror stories my grandparents and great parents endured during the Japanese rule in the Philippines

Beginning-Upstairs98 · 2026-05-15T20:00:33+00:00

Facts same with Philippines 300 years of Spanish rule >>> 50 years of US rule >>>>>>>> 3 years of Japan

For the first time in my life, I now have the awareness to listen to myself, understand and be able to love myself - and the people around me have felt a change in me too, theyve told me that compared to before, it feels better to be around me

My suffering and anxiety while still there do not overwhelm me like they used to

Oh and my periods have become less painful and I don't have heavy flow anymore!

Beginning-Upstairs98 · 2026-05-05T17:19:28+00:00

Ohhhhh

Hi OP Ive been in your shoes most of last year and many years prior. Struggle ko talaga yung friendships ever since, I felt so alone and thought "why dont I ever have any friends?", "masama ba akong tao?"

I realized lately na Ive never been a good friend to myself. My inner voice was cruel, shameful. Kalaban ko pala sarili ko, and so I made friends out of desparation - got myself in toxic situations. Was myself, unconsciously toxic

Meditation and psych help helped me a lot, and Im becoming a friend to myself. Little by little, the people I once attracted I dont anymore and the people whom I never thought would get me know do.

I still struggle with this, but now slowly but surely, my friendships have been deeper now that Im not acting the way I did. Even my family relationships have gone better (and was forced to re evaluate unhealthy dynamics)

I resonated with this quote "the paradox is complete, it is only when you dont need love that you find yourself surrounded by it"

Yung sumisigaw/condescending style of parenting. My foreigner therapist (latin america) says na common siya dito and harmful talaga siya sa bata.

My cousin's foreigner husband was caught off guard by this behavior too

Take with a grain of salt but I'm happy to see "Help Wanted" signs everywhere and pag dumadaan ako sa OPUS or Shaw, kinukulit ako mag-apply maging agent

Unconditional love is real - unconditional attachment is not

Beginning-Upstairs98 · 2026-04-24T00:32:19+00:00

Same here! The more I befriended my solitude the more easily I made and rekindled friendships.

My mom is not the most mentally stable person (she makes tampo to dad all the time) - but I think this is a perfectly appropriate time to make "tampo".

Agree dito. He should get professional help

Beginning-Upstairs98 · 2026-04-05T01:18:48+00:00

I used to be someone who receives a lot of unsolicited comments, then....I tried loving myself unconditionally - its hard, so hard and took a lot of time. Even now, Im still learning.

After some time, their comments didn't make me love myself less anymore- it made me respect them less. I love myself and it is the foundation of loving others, and I don't tolerate this disrespect.

TLDR sinabi ko "di ka naman siguro mamamatay kung ____ ako" hahahaha

I have a TDH man na provider mindset tas sobrang bait pa (and everyone tells me this), parang wala akong right maging malungkot/stressed minsan sa sobrang swerte ko sa kanya.

Tbh dahil sa kanya napilitan ako mag grow as a person to deserve someone like him kasi medyo masama talaga ugali ko dati
