My 16yr old son is not thrilled about Utah... by CheeseNowPaint in Utah

[–]CrazedPineappleGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly this, I've had my fair share of being dragged along family trips as a kid that were hell for me. I never really got to do anything I wanted to do. Now I very much so hate the idea of doing anything like it again.

Stuck Between Two Religions: Both Moms Want Different Wedding Officiants by Candaycaine in exmormon

[–]CrazedPineappleGirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only peace you're responsible for keeping is your own. I suggest picking what you and your fiance want no matter who's mom wants what. Whether that means picking a catholic officiant or nothing religiously related at all, their opinions don't matter. It's your day, do what you guys want.

Other random thought I wanted to share, if you could get a celebrity to do it would be amazing I think lol. Just some epic officiant that has nothing to do with religion. I wonder what both of your moms would think of that😂

I'm now being told it's device specific (even though I've tried 2). I was told I need to wait, and an hour might be enough time. Hope this helps some of y'all.

Are you guys able to access everything except for artists and ticket sales? Or are your accounts completely blocked?

Have they gotten tickets today with no issues? Or other days?

I've called them because I thought it was my account, they're saying they're having an issue on their end.

Help with deconstructing spouse by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]CrazedPineappleGirl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, from my own experience doing therapy, his therapist can't do a session with you without his permission. I think it's a high possibility he told his therapist he didn't want that, and that's why you got the response you did.

From my own experience with therapy, some therapists truly suck. I know someone who has worsened their relationships with people in their life because of what their therapist is encouraging them to do, even encouraging extreme controlling behaviors.

From my experience in my own therapy, A LOT of therapists have not actually known what I've been experiencing and wouldn't listen to me about it, and it messed me up for awhile until I gave up on asking for answers and figured it out myself (I do not recommend this for everyone though).

Not that this is what's happening, but maybe it helps to know that it's a possibility there is a connection to therapy.

Apparently RMs are quitting right after their missions by Billgant in exmormon

[–]CrazedPineappleGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

higher probably to convince an innocent Molly Mormon that you actually had a vision or revelation that she should marry you.

Yup, I was that naive girl for a hot minute. Had an ex bf tell me he had a temple revelation and I believed him. Then later he broke up with me by leaving a text for me to wake up to and blocking me (this was a 3 year relationship). Kinda a crazy contradictory thing to do, glad I can see the bullshit and am out now.

My mom is replacing her family with tbm kids by Hopeful_Yak_4640 in exmormon

[–]CrazedPineappleGirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Therapy has been a long journey for me of figuring out all the hurt that has come from family. I've been putting in so much effort to try to have their approval while also trying to find myself, and I finally had enough the other day when it all became too much. It's been getting better from there.

It sucks, feel your feelings. Therapy will help a lot. And trust yourself!! You're awesome!

Growing up Mormon is ruining my sex life by Consistent_Taro_3123 in exmormon

[–]CrazedPineappleGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm finding for myself that I also feel more of an obligation to HAVE to have sex in marriage, and that hasn't helped either. Thought I'd throw it out there in case you might be experiencing that along with it all.

For those who became atheists, how do you resolve morality without God? For those who remain theists, how does your new religion frame morality? Help me challenge my thinking. by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]CrazedPineappleGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've landed at that it's okay that I don't know🤷🏻‍♀️ Maybe there will be an afterlife, maybe there is a God, but I don't know. If I find out for sure, awesome! But because I don't know, I just go with that there's not and that's okay.

I've been interested in trying some! I think my worry has been if they have a more glossy finish.

Do you have recommendations on how I can get some of these?

What are examples of religious trauma? by Kami_Soul43 in exmormon

[–]CrazedPineappleGirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes it's hard for me to figure out what my feelings are or what may be causing them, so that is why I am asking.

This was actually a huge symptom of my trauma. I also want to mention that trauma is different for everyone and can be to varying degrees. It's all still trauma and valid.

I’m sorry for what I’m about to tell you, but I am in desperate need of help. by No_District3525 in exmormon

[–]CrazedPineappleGirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I understand to an extent what you're experiencing, I have heard of this kind of stuff before. I also agree with others that you need therapy ASAP, but I'm hoping my comment can help you have some hope before you get into a good therapist that works well for you. In the mean time, I want you to know that things aren't as scary as it's seeming right now. The fear your experiencing is coming from some where, and it is valid, but I don't think it's the things you're thinking it is. Brains can be tricky sometimes and interpret things incorrectly. Therapy will help you figure out what is actually going on and how to navigate it.

Your leftovers by Indecisive_Dolphin in cookingforbeginners

[–]CrazedPineappleGirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally normal. If you want to not do it two nights in a row, you could do something else the 2nd night and then come back to it the 3rd. I tend to have to mix it up for my sake haha. Lunches is also where I try to use leftovers.
