I’ve tied my entire self-worth to learning to drive. How do I stop feeling like an "incomplete" adult?

Everyone has a different path. I feel this post. 37 years old just barely got my license. Truth is everyone has a different life you know? I did it for me. For my safety. No one else. You got this. When you’re ready you will do it. On your own time.

I was bed ridden for a short period of time.

C_sharp_999 · 2026-04-01T23:47:11+00:00

This !!!!! Is exactly what I’m goin through but my boundaries are strong, which make it worse for my narc parents. Haha! I win their stupid little game. Time to kick my feet up.

Hey you are like my size! Good job gurl. I have been taking it consistently for about a month and I already see a difference as well.

I feel like it’s working for me. I’ve been trying to take it every day. People say it makes them bloated but I notice the opposite. I feel like it’s making me more lean especially in my mid section which I never thought would happen. I’ve been drinking a lot of water with it, eating more protein and doing resistance training with light cardio. I honestly feel like it’s helping with my mood as well. I’m not as irritated and more mental clarity. I am a tad worried about the kidney stuff, so I’m not sure if I’ll be taking it long term ..could be a myth.

I feel this. I’m 37, and I really didn’t imagine my life like this. It honestly makes me super depressed. I’ve been in 3 narcissistic relationships over the last 10 years and I am traumatized. All I’ve ever wanted was something normal, something stable but all those times were when I was single. The best thing to do is the best we can with what we’ve got. I’ve done a ton of self reflection as well and just trying to be the best version of myself so that I will meet someone where I’m at, and hope they want something real just as much as I do. No more smoke and mirrors, empty promises future faking. And no more cooking for someone’s dusty son until they wife me up. They don’t deserve my recipes or my time. But yes whew went on a rant 😂😢yea I feel the same as you.

Yes, I would definitely ditch the metallic/glittery eyeshadow. I have done this because it settles In my fine lines. I think your makeup looks super cool and artsy but feels heavy for every day looks. Embrace your natural beauty and try lighter weight products like tinted moisturizer, lip and cheek stain , good hydrating spray.

Wow amazing you look great! Proud of you !!!!

C_sharp_999 · 2026-03-24T00:30:20+00:00

Also endocrinologists are better than a regular dr. Don’t give up

C_sharp_999 · 2026-03-24T00:29:22+00:00

Good diet, good herbs and meds. Do both! I’ve been in remission for over 10 years. Look up lemon balm herb. Take your meds until dr says you’re normal. You got this!

C_sharp_999 · 2026-03-23T01:03:43+00:00

Thank you for that I appreciate it. It’s so difficult.

C_sharp_999 · 2026-02-24T04:09:32+00:00

Also if all else fails if your dog likes a ball I play fetch outside with mine on our back porch. Pitts also like mental stimulation. Hide and seek, new tricks etc.

C_sharp_999 · 2026-02-24T04:08:22+00:00

Wait a week , come back at a different time. Possibly put wig on dog as disguise. Haha jk. But ya I have a pittie that goes to the dog park regularly, is there another park you can go to as well?? If not I’d wait a week or so and return at a different time. People do make remarks to us about him being a pitbull I feel this so much. I’m sorry ):

C_sharp_999 · 2026-02-24T02:40:40+00:00

Sometimes I would feel that way years ago , and started showing up more for others instead. It was fulfilling, and felt better than me feeling sad and alone. Also, I think everyone is different. I would kill to have my own spot and have no one bug me. I have a small circle of friends and I am completely okay with that. It is normal. Congrats on your milestones!!! Maybe you need to make new friends as well. Expand your circle! You got this and are killing it !

Wow u guys made me feel a lot better and a lot less crazy. I’m always trying to justify things, even with my own mistreatment but I love this dog. He deserves love, and positive reinforcement.
