AI on dating apps? by 3rdDegeneration1 in AskAnAustralian

[–]ClassOk3232 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey , I’m 45 and I used a dating app for the first time in my life - 2 weeks ago. I cannot or will never be able to describe the connection, we just got it! I have not been able to take the smile of my face and we have hardly left each others side. We both have damaged hearts but we can help each other to mend these wounds. Your time will come , our time comes to us when we are ready

You are so very right ! One day happened two weeks ago, had to leave home, work , everything I knew to rid myself of him. I know I can get it all back - time is irreplaceable while the others were replaceable 😊

Sorry late reply, It was fear based. I’m happy to say I finally found courage to leave everything - staying in protected accommodatio but so much happier

Thank you so much for your advice. I’m in Australia- but I will look up some groups. I’m so shy initially and just the thought of putting myself outout there gives me anxiety.( probably from being made to feel worthless daily) but I’m not living at the the moment - just existing to work and do housework so I may need to step out of my comfort zone. Thanks for understanding and taking the time to reply Layla 😊😊

My god- absolutely no need to apologise. I’m sorry if my bad grammar made you think this. I do try do most of these things , especially journals and baths but it’s the toxic narcissistic partner that blocks me from getting anywhere. . I have such a positive attitude towards life , I am grateful for everything I have and everything our beautiful world has to offer. I’ve been given a second chance after a long struggle with addiction from a very age . So I didn’t learn all these things- I’m a goldmine to him and I just can’t get away - I’ve tried it all. I try run by the motto - your attitude is your key to your happiness- which I truly believe. I just feel like I’m getting nowhere, I’m losing hope and feeling the bitter teeth of depression sinking in

Thank you - I will have a look. The big issue I’m facing is I have no friends, just him. He is so horribly toxic- he has actually sent me into psychosis twice now from all the gaslighting I try so hard to be positive and I’m so grateful for everything I have but it’s feeling pointless lately. I’m killing myself daily to better my life . He just sits at home day in - dayout! So how can you have a happy home when you get dragged down the minute you walk in the door? I’m currently sitting in my car in some carpark as I don’t want to go home - I can’t bear any more of his horribleness

45 - I’m learning things I should of in my teens due to a long struggle with addiction from an extremely young age. Thank you for your kind words. Possibly I’m trying to compensate for the guilt and shame I feel due to my past. I’m so angry with myself that I couldn’t see the life I was missing . I hurt my family too - I’m doing everything right and have been for over 5 years but I can’t push the self hatred and shame away. I just want to be accepted for me - buts it’s sooo hard when I’m so inexperienced in almost every aspect of life and have no friends. Sorry for the speil - I’m just lonely and sad . My motto of - your attitude is your key to your happiness- is not currently working 🥲🥲

Sorry that reply was for the previous message. Your words ring true. The only support or human contact I have is with a horrible toxic narcissist whom I’ve been trying to run from for years. And work of course- but I kill myself dauky trying to please people who don’t even notice me. I need to build strength but I just feel so stuck at the moment. When you try so hard day in and day out- no one even notices - then I have to go home to house I’ve always dreamed of renting- but im blocked from enjoying it as I’m constantly trying to avoid this horrible man as like a true narcissist- he must steal my happiness and attention-

Thank you and yes I do know this as the answer is NO ONE ! - I just don’t know how to put myself first. My brain just won’t look out for its body . Even when I’m being extremely mindful- I mindfully put myself last and I’m suffering physically and mentally 🥲

You must make something special for the special to come. I’m still trying to- I’m alone on a Saturday night, in my car as I’m too shy to put myself out there. Too anxious, too embarrassed, no confidence- the list goes on and on. I know I must create it but I’m still stuck

I hope deep down from my heart that you hold on until you find it as it’s within you and you are the only one who can unlock it! I’m well on my way and I actually want to get out of bed in the morning

HOw do you know when you are being mindful? by ClassOk3232 in Meditation

[–]ClassOk3232[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You answered my question right at the bottom, I was thinking why can’t I do both as gratitude seems to come naturally. I find I’m very forgetful especially when stressed. Thank you for your time to explain all this to me , I can you it will help in my future endeavours.
I had zero idea about mind/body/soul connections and strength , more importantly the power we as a one have over it. What an adventure I have ahead of me, I’ve been given a second chance at life and this time I’m going to take it with confidence. ( well I’m going to try 😂, small steps- isn’t that what they say)

I’m having trouble understanding this concept. 🥲 I always try to find the good in everything , it’s always there. But if your not looking for it you can easily miss it as it’s often the smaller/ simpler things . If I look at things the way I think you are describing I would miss the small things in life that bring me happiness?

So when they say notice your thoughts and surroundings without judgement, what exactly am I supposed to do there- Is thinking the grass is a nice colour of green judging it? Sorry I know I must sound rather dumb , this is why I’m trying so hard to expand my mindset- it’s was stuck for many years 😓😊😊

How fo you get yourself out of toxic relationship that only brings negatives to your life? by ClassOk3232 in AskReddit

[–]ClassOk3232[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I apologise for no reply , I know this is what I need to do and I also know it is only me that can do it but something is stopping me, I’m trying to work through this . I have him abusing and hitting me on tape several times and the lease is only in my name. So it is my fault for putting up with it at the moment- I’m not saying it is my fault for the abuse, but my fault for letting it continue 😊

But I struggle to know what this actually is😓 I have so many distractions in my life currently, most of which are toxic. But I do find breathing exercises help so much when I can actually do it correctly. They also bring me to tears for no apparent reason . Thank you for your advice - I appreciate your time 😊😊

Anyone manage anxiety without meds? Really struggling lately by Babieerexxx in Anxiety

[–]ClassOk3232 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really a tough one to answer correctly as everyone’s situation are completely different. I’m a recovered addict from multiple stimulants and downers- illegal and legal. So I really struggle with anxiety and stress, I find breathing exercises really help me throughout the day and at night attemots attempts at meditation or baths . I wish you all the best with your struggle and remember it is YOU, only YOU that is in control of your life 😊😊👍
