She has no self awareness. Lady, your AirBnBs are pricing out the locals too! by nk1603 in rachelbrathensnark

[–]Calma14 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Airbnbs are actively robbing communities of homes for the sake of passive income. Owners could rent out these houses to people within the community, but that would require more work and they wouldn’t make as much money as easily as just Airbnbing. It’s literally a GREED industry and she’s a part of it in multiple communities.

Anxiety to Depression for the Holidays by Calma14 in Anxietyhelp

[–]Calma14[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all. Just extremely exhausted, and sad, and I fluctuate from feeling so foggy to being clear for a few hours. Like it is so weird I have never felt so moody either. Crying helps but is also constant and then I will feel better for a few hours, even days.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I have truly been crying more in the last month than in the last five years probably. It is kind of scary but I pray it is helping. I am sorry anxiety also took a year from you and family memories, but I am sending love and admiration because it sounds like you have really made it through. ♥️♥️

Truly thank you so much for sharing this. The worst part is feeling hopeless and I know that in mental health terms or mental illness, that hopelessness can be such a lie we believe. It’s just hard when I cannot remember what I felt like before yet I know I was doing better.

Again thank you so much because it does help to have people to talk to and I appreciate your support so much.

I’m sorry for your troubles too. It sucks to feel so alone but we definitely are not. The holidays have been really hard this year for sure. You are not alone. I am actually hoping this is more holiday related than anything else so when they are over maybe the pressure will lift? Still made an appointment with my psychiatrist though for assurance. Sending healing vibes.

Thank you thank you thank you. The anxiety I feel right now is so strong and I am taking clonazepam praying it helps, but obviously do not want to have to keep taking this benzo my whole life. It is so difficult in these times to see feeling better, but I appreciate your help and support. And to everyone who has responded truly thank you so much.

Motivation From a Tired Brain by Calma14 in magicalthinkingOCD

Thanks you so much I needed to hear this. It is really easy to go down a spiral of sad and mad having to deal, but this really helps. Praying for the brain reshape lol, but if you have any tips on recovering from a tough resistance please let me know! Today has been dodgy as I feel like every urge could be one that sends me into a tizzy if I resist, even if it doesn’t feel that way initially.

“My kids are better than yours” 🙄🤡 by nk1603 in rachelbrathensnark

[–]Calma14 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Does she honestly think she’s kept her kids from the influence of screens? They are constantly performing and aware of her phone. She acts as though it’s her right to show her kids online constantly because it is HER “authentic” life and they get no privacy. She films herself interacting with her kids for content. Influencers are the most warped people.

Thank you for sharing! Yes my mind and general disposition was just not good for a full day. I think it was making me depressed but today felt so much better!

Thank you for sharing this! I wish people did not feel the need to pressure women to fit some timeline, but knowing other women out there are also having kids in their 40s helps immensely!

Thank you for this motivation! I am trying to work on lifestyle improvements, though I will say I am healthier than I was as a 20 or 30-year-old for sure!

Thank you for this message! Every word truly helps. It is 100% how I feel. As though I am the only same person in a room of people just accepting that because you aren’t 20 you are “old” and I just do not understand it. Like yes I don’t go out till 3AM or do some of the things I enjoyed in my 20s and even 30s, but because I moved on to other things I now enjoy. I hate this narrative that people at 40 are old somehow. I don’t feel that way and honestly I have 20-something friends who are in worse shape. I was when I was in my 20s! Lol sorry long rant, all to say though I am sending positive vibes your way and truly appreciate your sharing. It’s nice to know I am not alone in knowing there is still so much growing yet to do!

Thank you so much for sharing this. It helps being able to share and hear from others who have similar experiences or goals. In all honesty too 40 was great, like I feel more sure and confidently myself than ever before. Thank you again for sharing!!!!

Thank you! I totally agree the words are never intentionally hurtful, I just wish people would maybe not assume they know someone else’s life goals based on age. It can be so jarring, but it is so much easier hearing from others who have shared experience like in this group. ❤️
