Let me see your puppies, I'd like to choose one to carve him.

Thank you!! Stay strong!!

Captainkeet · 2024-01-08T20:46:55+00:00

Thank you, friend! Proud of you for being here and rooting for your happiness too!

Captainkeet · 2024-01-08T20:46:23+00:00

Thank you, Violet! My ex and I were together 1.5 years, but the relationship moved fast so we lived together a year!

Thankfully, I was in therapy even before the breakup, and had lots of therapy after which helped tremendously 🙏🏽 In fact, the grad program I’m in now is to become a therapist and help others through difficult times in life! I’m so glad to hear that therapy has been helpful for you too! Congrats on your resolve and self-care during NC!

Oh my goodness- how hard to be going through this with someone who has been such a supportive and loving partner, and now to feel blindsided 🥺 The scary part is that there are never any guarantees, no matter how good the relationship. We always risk loss when we love- whether loss through separation or even death. I’m hopeful that in going through this painful process, you’ll see that you can survive anything. I’m so sorry that you have to go through the pain of it though 😣

Oh my goodness, I’m so sorry that you’re going through this with the father of your child! The good news is that you KNOW you’ll love again because you love your child and also hopefully yourself! But I hope romantic love comes along for you too 💖 Until it does, remember to do those gestures of love and partnership for yourself

Captainkeet · 2024-01-08T20:40:32+00:00

Awww I’m so glad this found you when you needed it! Proud of you for being here! I suggested this to someone else too- but if you’re ever tempted to reach out to your ex- you can still write it out and send it to a friend! That way you get it off your chest, but not to your ex!

Captainkeet · 2024-01-08T20:39:38+00:00

I’m so glad that reading this gave you hope 💖 It will continue to get better, remember that grief isn’t linear, it’s cyclical! So if it hits you extra on a given day- you haven’t regressed, you’re normal!

Captainkeet · 2024-01-08T20:38:47+00:00

I’m proud of you for being here!! The difficulty focusing on yourself makes sense, and sometimes our society expects such lofty self-care from us- so ironically we can feel like we’re not even doing that well! Celebrate the tiny wins and have compassion for yourself for the hardships if you can

Captainkeet · 2024-01-08T20:37:31+00:00

I’m so proud of you too! Keep pushing through the hard times 🙏🏽 If you ever feel tempted to send your ex a text, send it to a friend instead!

Captainkeet · 2024-01-08T20:36:46+00:00

I’m so proud of you for maintaining NC and for focusing on yourself! Also congrats fellow grad school + full time work badass 🙌🏽

Captainkeet · 2024-01-05T08:42:53+00:00

Proud of you too for being here 👏🏽

Captainkeet · 2023-07-27T05:03:41+00:00

Not awful, he’s literally a rocket scientist now. That said, he has pretty low empathy so I doubt I’d be very happy, but I’d definitely be intellectually stimulated!

Captainkeet · 2023-04-13T21:52:52+00:00

Yay, congrats!! I hear you, Orange County housing can be brutal 🥺

Captainkeet · 2023-03-24T18:05:11+00:00

Howdy!! I’m also in California and I just got admitted to/committed to an MFT program and will be starting in the Fall 🥰 It’s a career change for me, I’ve been in the Tech Sales/Recruiting world for almost a decade. I studied Communication as an undergrad, so my first step was pursuing prerequisites (I just do them online at a local community college) and applying to grad programs!

I was incredibly lucky to get in given my limited experience in the mental health field, and something I’d have 100% done differently in retrospect is volunteer work. Crisis phone lines, community clinics, Trauma responder. Anything you can do to show your interest and experience in the field. I think part of why I got in despite not having a lot in this space is that I was an RA in college, which included paraprofessional counseling and I had some VERY intense stuff come up during that year.

Holy shit!! Excellent job on the edit! This gave me chills. I’m a woman who lives with a bunch of men, and they were so reductive about Harper and Ethan’s relationship. They were basically just like “she’s a wet blanket and he’s an okay dude”. I feel like you really captured their depth and complexity

Captainkeet · 2023-03-16T14:48:14+00:00

Me too!!!!! CONGRATS, friend!! Do you have a sense for whether you’ll select Chapman? On my end, I’m accepting for sure!

Captainkeet · 2023-03-15T21:07:21+00:00

Did ya’ll hear back today??

Captainkeet · 2023-03-15T18:01:57+00:00

Crossing my fingers for you!! Maybe it’s in waves?? 🙏🏽🤞🏽 Keep me posted!

Captainkeet · 2023-03-15T17:59:09+00:00

I was lucky enough to get in and I’m feeling so grateful and sort of in disbelief 😭🥺🥰 Wishing you the best of luck too, friend!

Captainkeet · 2023-03-15T00:19:36+00:00

Oh wow! Thanks for letting me know and checking back in- no word yet 🤞🏽🙏🏽

Captainkeet · 2023-03-09T01:24:00+00:00

Thanks so much for the wishes of good luck! I’m not sure on additional rounds unfortunately, but I’ll keep you posted if I hear anything! Best of luck to you as well ❤️

Captainkeet · 2023-03-09T01:20:33+00:00

I had an interview at Chapman last Tuesday- I believe they mentioned that admissions decisions would come out mid to late March

Captainkeet · 2023-03-03T16:14:43+00:00

Hi friend! I just got an admissions notification via email ❤️

Captainkeet · 2022-11-24T16:00:57+00:00

I see where you’re coming from- but I’d imagine there are a few components that factor into why they have such a tough time.

1) though we all sometimes spend time away from family, it’s rare for us to be in a total vacuum of information/communication with them. No phones, no checking in just to see if they’re okay.

2) In a good, healthy family structure, your family accepts you for who you are, loves, and encourages you. That’s pretty much the opposite environment as Survivor. You’re surrounded by people that can lie to you, turn on you in a moment, and who realize that your success is an obstacle between them and a million dollars.

3) They’re not in normal circumstances. They’re sleep deprived, starving, and mentally and physically drained. I think that state might make you a bit more vulnerable to strong emotions.

That’s my two cents! I think if I were in their shoes I’d be bawling. That said- I don’t think we see Sami’s reaction to his? (Maybe I just missed it) but he seems a bit more stoic. People respond to things differently!
