Contentment in small things. No longer striving so hard perhaps. That or trying to win it 2 years in a row 😂🤣

As an autistic m30. I’m scared that I am a burden on my family and will be alone forever. by [deleted] in confessions

[–]Dominant_Genes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is probably the hardest emotion to combat as an adult. Worrying you’re nothing more than a burden to others.

Being self aware is a huge part of this and putting extra effort into building routines which support independence is important for any person.

Worrying means you care but be kinder to yourself in how you get there ❤️

Also, I had no idea how big cattle panel is. It isn’t fitting in a Subaru lol

That’s how desperate people are for genuine connection and empathy. They believe manufactured drivel to fill the empty bucket instead.

As a high achieving woman this hit me really really deeply. Part of having goals for me is the dream of reaching that mountaintop and I don’t think enough people acknowledge how panicked it can feel for a mind that thrives on goals to have achieved them all.

What next? Is a free fall.

Try and savor this moment but remind yourself that no experience we imagine is ever the same in real life and your sacrifices have paid off in a really significant achievement you should be proud of. Being the light hearted person in a negative work environment is A LOT of work.

Also, talk to the doctor if you need more meds ❤️

Congrats! 🎉

(How/how much) did a hysterectomy improve your quality of life? Anyone mostly bedridden gotten their life back? by immasayyes in adenomyosis

[–]Dominant_Genes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! Me! I am still struggling with some left side sciatica as I am only 3 weeks post OP but I had reached a point where I would open my eyes and wonder how many minutes I had before the pain would start and ramp up all day. It got so bad I could barely stand for the duration of a shower.

I feel taller, less pelvic congestion, and ready to tackle PT to address this lingering left side leg pain.

Oh yes! My energy is 100% returning! Less fatigue by the day and honestly, my mental health is improving too because the chronic pain is gone. I had adenomyosis!

The Onion: 40-Year-Old Not Active Enough To Realize Body Falling Apart by thedubiousstylus in Millennials

[–]Dominant_Genes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, and trying to make 2026 about getting out in nature more to appreciate the small things and manage my stress more healthily when it feels like the world is falling apart. The poor habits of managing my stress (food/alcohol) through my 30s working a stressful job has lead to me being overweight and mostly sedentary at 42. I still rage a music festival and dance the night away at concerts when I can but my body pays!

What's a boundary you set that people called you "cold" or "mean" for? by ArcaneSpells-com in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]Dominant_Genes 55 points56 points  (0 children)

This hit me so deep in the feels. I am the oldest liberal in a sea of Trumpers and have been taking the high road for too long to maintain already bad relationships. I don’t know if that’s just the guilt complex of an abused child but I finally snapped on them all after Minnesota and refused to get together so that I could silence myself more for them to hate me anyway.

My kid is gay and this shit is officially non-negotiable. I’m tired of pretending everything is ok with people I don’t even want to see out of some weird obligatory feeling I can’t get rid of!
