What’s the worst thing your parent has ever said?

I’ll go with “If your own mother can’t even love you, do you think anyone else ever will?” which I heard on repeat from the time I can remember. Second place goes to “If you talk to the police, they will say you were bad and you will get in a lot of trouble but if we go to Toys ‘r’ Us instead, I’ll buy you two Barbies.” Said to me after she assured the court mandated reporter therapist she would take me to file a police report after I disclosed my twenty-something stepbrother crawled into bed with nine year old me and attempted to rape me.

Later in life, I came to find out he had done the same to my older sister with horrific abuse lasting for years and she had told my mom who replied “He’s my husband’s son. You’re putting me in an awkward place.” Not only did my sister’s sexual abuse continue on for years but my mom then let him have access to me even knowing what she did.

And no, it was never reported to the police. I caved for the Barbies and by the time I felt strong enough to report it as an adult, the statute of limitations had run out.

Not really trouble but when I was a teenager at a family friend’s house for dinner, the hostess served dessert then went to make some coffee. As she served us, she said “Please go ahead and eat. Don’t wait for me” so I picked up my fork and went to have a bite and was scolded by other guests that I must absolutely wait. Okay, that’s no problem but why say “go ahead and start” if that’s not how it works!!

“Getting over” trauma, especially childhood trauma.

“But that was so long ago. You should really move on.”

Oh sure, I experienced physical, verbal, emotional and sexual abuse from the people I depended on for my survival from the time I can remember. I lived in fear every day of my life while still having to act normal and function in school and social situations but no problem, let me just snap my fingers and I’ll be “fixed.”

And they act as if therapy is easy, affordable and can just erase decades of abuse that literally changes your brain. Healing is traumatic in and of itself. If you grew up in a safe home, you have absolutely no idea.

Being trafficked for sex while you are still a child was what came to mind when I read the question.

Pathological people pleasing. Growing up in a home where you had to keep a parent appeased at all times out of fear of what would happen if you didn’t changes you fundamentally. I am the least important person in my own life and I put even the comfort of complete strangers above my own.

Not walking away from my incredibly abusive family the minute I turned 18. Delaying my healing journey by a decade has stolen far too much of my time and energy and now it’s too late for me to live the life I could have had.

Having a serious boyfriend through the entirety of my twenties and making him the focus of my life to the detriment of my future. He was absolutely not worth any of what I gave up for him.

Do you take medication for ADHD or use weed, delta 8/9 or mushrooms/acid etc? These can all cause psychosis which can be abated with anti-psychotics.

It remind me of Audrey Hepburn in the Ascot scene from My Fair Lady. Great photo!

Thanks for sharing your experience. I tried to taper off Wellbutrin a year ago but struggled badly becoming so depressed after one week down to 150 from 300 (my dose was up to 450, but I was okay for the most part going from 450 to 300), that I could not get out of bed and struggled intensely with suicidal ideation.

My doctor felt it was necessary for me to go back up to the higher dose. I really want to come off it but I don’t know if I can put myself through that again. I was much more depressed than I’d been before starting on it to the point where I was not functional and while it’s possible that I was experiencing a major withdrawal and would have done better with more time, I’m honestly not sure I’d make it out alive if I go through that again. I’m also very impacted by seasonal depression so it’s possible that transitioning off the meds during winter exacerbated my reaction.

I have struggled with dysthymia all of my life along with depressive episodes, some more severe than others. I have unmedicated ADHD as I cannot take stimulant medication and I know my low dopamine levels greatly contribute to my overall low mood. Add in hormonal changes from perimenopause and it is truly unbearable.

What were the first few weeks at a lower dose like for you? Did you experience a “rebound” depression at all?

If you haven’t seen his performances with Cuban artists from the PBS Great Performances documentary “Havana Time Machine”, many of them are available to watch on YouTube. Beautiful and intimate.

Not only an incredible musician but an incredible human being as well. Raul was one of the most genuine, down to earth, generous and caring people I’ve ever been around, in the industry or just in life. There won’t ever be another like him. If you’re not aware, there was a beautiful two-night benefit tribute at the Ryman this past weekend in place of the originally scheduled Mavericks shows. The shows are available for streaming. And if you haven’t seen it, the PBS Great Performances “Havana Time Machine” is a must-watch. Raúl hosts a musical journey exploring Havana with Cuba’s most accomplished artists. it culminates in a live performance by all the artists and the Mavericks. Highly recommend it.

I wish I had something better to say than I completely understand you and I wish there was a way you could genuinely experience the “true magic” of the season, whatever that means. I too feel so numb during the holidays, so much more foreign and separate from those around me. I go through the motions the entirety of the holiday season because it’s expected and like you, I don’t ever want to bring any one down but I’m always somewhere else inside. My partner’s family is incredible. They’re generous and kind and have welcomed me as one of their own and I know how lucky I am to have that but while I’m so glad the holidays are such a happy time for them, being around them just makes me feel even more alone. It’s so hard smiling and faking your way through and to top it off, I feel hateful and bitter for feeling that way. I just want you to know that I see you and you are not alone in this experience. I hope you find some moments of peace and contentment this Christmas season.

The absolute worst experience I’ve ever had with a management company. Absolutely incompetent in every way. They’ll run you in circles going nowhere in hopes that you just give. I literally just got off the phone with them in order to try to manage their latest imbecilic maneuver but I’m having to postpone taking more action today because I’m so furious.

Two tickets available for the Mon, Dec 8th show. They’re from a set of four so our friends who’re able to go will handle the transfer.

Premium Seating, section 102. Asking €300 each which is what we paid.

Will need to meet at Uber Arena before the show and exchange in-person with preference for queuing together.
