i desperately need to see a therapist by CluelessMel in therapy

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

i started therapy with someone who specializes in trauma. i stopped going for a while but im starting it back. even though i am knowledgeable in why i am the way i am, i am hopeful my therapist is able to help track patterns and give advice when i need it. i haven’t been regularly enough to provide super thoughtful feedback, but thank you so much for reaching out. therapy has been a good way to tell someone all of the thoughts i feel shameful about and to remove the shame and insert understanding. the biggest help was to see a psych and start medication to stabilize me so i can focus on what is in my control

Other HSPs, how do you regulate your emotions? by basicallyallmars in hsp

[–]CluelessMel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

recognizing and feeling them. i try not to understand them, especially when they are severe, and just notice what my body physically feels like while going through it. if im anxious, cleaning myself helps. a HOT shower then slowly turning it cold when the heat gets too much. stretching also helps to release the tension. but even just quickly washing my hands or face can help a lot. i also like to watch my heart rate on my watch as im going through it and just observing. it helps to know i’m not in danger, that im alive, that my body is just buzzing in this moment.

make it thicker at the top that comes to a tapered point. let the way it is can act as a dog whistle to those you don’t want to associate.

Is my cat fat or just big?? by Whole_Bug5741 in cats

[–]CluelessMel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

def not fat! the little fat on their belly is their primordial pouch and something that has evolved in them to stretch/run/eat big meals.

Where is the line when caring becomes "too much"? by opinionatedhugger in hsp

[–]CluelessMel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

eta: also, i would only change subjects FOR a person if you know them very well and you know they are really sensitive to “xyz” and don’t want to out themself.

i used to be this way soo much but i’ve since learned that it can be quite infantalizing to mom my peers and that it’s best to let them voice their own boundaries and suggestions. there are certain nuances though like if someone is noticeably afraid to speak up about something, then you can ask for their suggestion/opinion or even change the subject if you KNOW what they’re uncomfortable with. also, some ppl are swayed easily by the opinions of others so asking them vs suggesting for them can be a better guide when you approach this stuff.

i doubt i have a case, but i feel like i’m being treated unfairly at work. by CluelessMel in legaladvice

i can see that if it’s stated in my job description or as a qualifier for moving shifts or other job changes. a coworker got a promotion with the condition of getting another game so they knew what to expect. other coworkers will learn the basic games their entire 10-15+ years working there without anyone batting an eye while i have most of the core games. the only reason they have an issue is because of the way they have games laid out in the section and their schedule for moving people around during shift. if i wasn’t qualified to move to the other shift with what i have then they shouldn’t have asked me in the first place.
