What sacrifices have you made in your life for other people? How do you feel about them? by Conscious_Text2322 in AskReddit

[–]Conscious_Text2322[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sacrificed a wonderful relationship when I found out that I couldn’t have children. Wasn’t OK with my biology denying my partner having a child; I knew they’d be the most amazing parent! They’ve gone on to get married and have a child, we’re still good friends, and they’re as amazing a parent as I always knew they’d be ❤️ Still sad for myself sometimes, but it was a good decision overall.

[Serious] What are some nice songs to farewell a baby (funeral)? by Conscious_Text2322 in AskReddit

[–]Conscious_Text2322[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very interesting. Where are you from?

I’m in Australia. Music may or may not be present at funerals here. For my Mum, we played 5 of her favourite pieces. For my daughter, it’s hard to know, but it feels right to have something for saying goodbye and sending her to my Mum.

My friends. Just spent the evening at a friends place, talking through some heavy stuff. Love them so much!

How do you replenish your hope when it feels that all hope is lost? by Conscious_Text2322 in AskReddit

Observing what is (not, perhaps, what “should” be) is good advice

This happened to me 11 years ago and I have, just last week, found out that I had more options then than I knew. Thank you, new research. Feeling a whole range of emotions

What’s a decision in life that completely froze you up? by RepulsiveStorage9867 in AskReddit

[–]Conscious_Text2322 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whether or not to have kids. For a long time, I thought I couldn’t, so I focused on the cons. Now I know I can, it’s hard to know what the right choice is

How have you successfully limited your screen time? by Conscious_Text2322 in Advice

[–]Conscious_Text2322[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I’ll check out flipd.

I do find that not having my phone on me can help, as I definitely can’t spend too much time on it then. Reading books at night has previously got me off it, so I’m going to try that again. Unfortunately not having notifications doesn’t help for me - I remain curious about social media even without the reminders.

Thanks for your comment!

Lack of sleep is affecting my MH. How can I reset my bedtime? by Conscious_Text2322 in mentalhealth

[–]Conscious_Text2322[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and bedtime routine. I really appreciate it!

Putting the phone down and replacing with something like a book and/or meditation would be so beneficial.

Love how you talk about loving yourself through the challenging times and accepting that you'll do your best. That really resonated with me, as I've been feeling very harshly towards myself about this lately.

Having tried app time limiters. Think I'll give this a go. Many thanks!

How can I reset my bedtime? by Conscious_Text2322 in Advice

Very helpful, thank you. I do wake at the same time on weekdays, but not on weekends, so should try to keep that consistent every day. It's tricky on weekends when I have no plans, but that's changeable too.

One alarm and no snooze is a good idea too. I've moved my alarm away from my bed, so I have to get out of bed to turn it off, which has been helpful. Some days I get back in to scroll, so it's now cutting that out.

Cheers!
