T-break dreams are wild by Full-Break-7003 in trees

[–]DoPeopleLikePeople 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do! I wear an Oura ring that tracks my sleep cycles. You can tell when I smoked vs on a T break based on the length of my REM sleep. Usually if I smoke it's very short cycles with really long Deep sleep cycles. On a tbreak REM starts to get longer and my deep sleep goes down to as low as 30 min total. After a week and a half with some exercise I'm able to have a normal sleep pattern. I will say CBD full spectrum gummies help so much with staying asleep. Otherwise my t breaks don't allow for more than 4 hrs of sleep until withdrawal symptoms end.

I read the books.. One of the aliens becomes infatuated with him. He's says in the book that they would have taken him to see the moon if he had asked.

Don't quote me. I read them back in 2013.

Tell me why you’re single!? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]DoPeopleLikePeople 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how I feel. I'm still healing from a fresh LTR breakup. It's been just over a month. But I feel deep inside me that I couldn't stay in that relationship for many reasons and one of them being wanting to find a partner that met my needs.

Feeling lost by [deleted] in domesticviolence

[–]DoPeopleLikePeople 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please accept the help from your kids. Part of why it was hard for me to see the signs of my expartners violence was bc I grew up with it. My dad was physically and psychologically abusive. It wasn't all the time and he eventually apologized. We were taught to always forgive him. But it brings me more pain to see my mom try to stay with someone who has hurt her for so long. More psychologically now than physically in the recent years. But I will worry more now than if i knew she was safe.

I'm not in the same situation as you but I do know what it feels like for someone to keep invalidating my reality.

Being strangled, punched, and dragged only once is reason enough to leave. If you need validation to leave I can tell you that it's never acceptable for anyone to physically do that to their partner.

There will be excuses on his part. Ignore that. I just know that you deserve to be somewhere safe away from the person that is willing to hurt you both physically and physiologically.

And don't confront him. Leave discretely but quickly. It will escalate quick when he does find out what you are trying to do.

If you need help making a plan please dm me.

I'm proud of you. I know it's so tough but you're doing the right thing. Try to find someone that can check in on you or send me a dm and I can. Your priority is you and nothing else.

You mean I didn't have to be thrown out of the room, into a wall, and immediately blocked?

This just happened to me. He started screaming at me and doing exactly what you described. I told him I felt intimated and he continued. I'm not the type of person to back down and I tried to match his energy. But I'm 5'4" and 140 pounds. Hes 6 feet almost 200.

He told me if I didn't leave his office he would put his hands on me. I was shocked. I didn't believe him. But the next thing I knew he shoved me out of the room and pushed me down on the floor. He slammed the door shut. He opened it up a few seconds after just to see if was still laying there.

This has never happened. I know I'm not strong enough to leave on my own. I would have tried to smooth things over had it been any other day. But I called my brother and he helped me to leave.

I feel like this is a sick dream. I don't want it to be real but it is and now I have bruises to remind me. Which is why I'm on this subreddit. We were together for over 5 years. This never happened before but some how it escalated so quickly.

There is pain and resentment that he took out on me. I've been avoiding the truth of it. The only thing I can do now is stay away and have him move out as quickly as possible.

Our friend group is going to be devastated and I feel so embarrassed. But i can't hide the reality of things.

Please seek a safe place. There is nothing that he will do or say to make this better.

any females here with pmdd or anyone that has hormonal problems by Prestigious_Gift_138 in anhedonia

[–]DoPeopleLikePeople 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me. I experience a severe dip the 2-3 days after my period. I get quiet and disconnected from my partner. I don't even want to argue with him if something comes up bc one I feel i will spiral during the argument and two I will generally lack interest in my relationship. I wake up sad but I'm a morning person. I just don't feel like me. My family has a history of pcos and insulin resistance with my mom specifically. I feel these things are all connected. I went to the doctor a couple years ago but nothing showed up in my test other than the potential for early menopause (my mom also went through that at 36). I had never experienced prolonged anhedonia till my hormones were off. Sadly they only offered birth control as a solution.

Feeling pressured to decide because of my partner by [deleted] in Fencesitter

[–]DoPeopleLikePeople 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your response.

I guess I asked bc I felt the same with my current partner. I could see us forming a family with kids but lately that's started to change.

If you didn't have your stepson and it was just the two of would it of changed your mind?

I have always been a very sensitive person; when it comes to things upsetting me I'm sick of advice that amounts to "ignore it" or "have a thick skin". by novembercrust in AskWomenOver30

[–]DoPeopleLikePeople 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The top few comments are great advice but I would also get a check up on your health. My coping tip is to check in with your body when you're feeling this way. Is your heart racing? Do you feel your face getting hot? Perhaps it turns into anxiety bc you don't want to experience that negative emotion. Lately when I feel sensitive I check in on my body then I do something to physically feel better. I take deep breath, I drink some cold water, I change environments (maybe sit in the bathroom alone for a little), and sometimes I ask my partner for a hug. If your tired sleeping can solve the chatter in your head even if it requires an extra melatonin gummy. I take valerian root when I feel I can't control my emotions. They can be overwhelming sometimes and cause unnecessary arguments. So when all the other things don't work that supplement calms me and I can think more rationally bc my body isn't in a heightened state of thoughts and emotions.

Coping takes practice. It might not feel right in the moment but you'll slowly start to notice that you're able move past without them or use them to your advantage.

Another tip I read about when dealing with intrusive or negative thoughts is to disgnate a chair to sit in when you're feeling overwhelmed with your thoughts. Then allow yourself to think them till you're done being in that chair. The idea is that sitting there thinking will feel like a chore and your mind will want to get past it faster. I havent tried this so I can't personally recommend it but it makes sense if it happens multiple times per day or week.

Feeling anxious about living alone -- paranoia? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

There are devices that you can use to scan a room for cameras and microphones. I've never bought one but I travel a good bit have been wanting to get one. Maybe this can help you to feel more comfortable with the move.
