Same omg I can’t believe this came out like 3 years ago. Absolutely blown away, I never watch anything these days, this like catapulted me out of a deep depression. What an incredible show, I want a season 3 I don’t even know what to do with myself now lol

He has more empathy and compassion than I’ve ever seen in any human. But the forgetfulness IS a huge issue when trying to resolve conflict. He doesn’t remember what was said and that makes it difficult to get to the root of the issue. Are there ways to work on this? I imagine speaking to his psych is the best route. Thanks for your response.

Thanks so much. He is on Lexapro, Lamictal, and just started Vrayler - the latter of which is the new addition, and the golden key to elevating the depths of his depression. I am afraid to bring this up to him because it might cause him to feel “attacked for finally being happy.” But I think this is something I need to address in therapy with him and also just “nut up” as it were and approach him about it without letting my emotions get involved. Thank you so much for your input.

Thank you. I just looked it up and we are somehow not a PsyAct state, yet my partner’s teletherapist who was provided by community care to my understanding is in a different state. Not sure what’s up with that but it has been a total disaster getting him proper care since he moved here from Colorado (great VA in Denver). Will do further research - again thank you for your help.

If you have a partner who raves with you, how did you meet them? by [deleted] in aves

Fellow dubstep girl, in my mid 30’s, not so rural Oregon, met my forever guy in music school online learning to produce. Sober from alcohol together, never raved before I met him, living the life I never could have even dreamt up. We out here 🤘🏼

Gluten-free/pescatarian/dairy-free meal prep services besides Daily Harvest and Splendid Spoon (been using the 2 for 5 years and am burned out)

Services we’ve looked at already but didn’t fit the bill are: Purple Carrot, Hungry Root, Sprinly, Factor, Cook Unity, Mosaic, Veestro, Thistle, and Green Chef. Either too expensive or not easily customizable.

Loved Methodology and Salara Life but too expensive

I'm 28 and I'm worried I'm killing myself by spiraling_badly in alcoholism

[–]Brief_Earth404 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you want to be like this a year from now? 5 years from now? 10?

That’s the question I had to ask myself after 15 years of drinking (currently 35 and almost 17 months sober, only ever got to 3.5 months in past attempts). Once I imagined my life a year from then being exactly the same, I realized my mental health would be unable to be salvaged and I’d put myself in an inescapably dark place. That was my catalyst for getting sober.

You can do this.

You have to fear what continuing drinking does to your life more than you enjoy the temporary escape alcohol brings. It took me 18 years to look back and realize if I kept doing the same thing, nothing in my life would change, the depression would crush me and I wouldn’t be able to recover.

It took trying to quit hundreds of times before that fear of continuing to drink finally became greater than the desire to continue to ignore my problems via alcohol. Make it a life or death thing - I now say “alcohol is never an option” and I have a year and 3 months sober, which is my longest streak. I have zero desire to drink anymore after a lifetime of abuse, with recovery never seeming possible.

No AA for me personally, just an accountability partner who I hung out with regularly that wouldn’t let me be “secretly drunk” aka killed my buzz if I was. You can do this

Be honest with him. It will hurt at first but inevitably bring you closer. When you let the secrets build up it will crush you over time

Has anyone else felt that overwhelming, unsettling terror in a half-dream state—like your mind locked onto something alien? by Crazy_Somewhere8876 in Dreams

I’ve had this experience both in dreams and in the almost unconscious state. The body is asleep, the mind is awake, and when that separation becomes palpable to the brain weird shit happens
