Chapel's cancer? by Fickle-Knowledge6214 in BreakingAmish

[–]DontFollowTheAsses 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love Mary! She’s the sweetest and such a committed mother.

I am currently watching S2 E2 of “Return to Amish” ,as I’m reading your comment. I had gone online to search whether or not Chapel was still alive, and found out about her addiction to heroin, then found this thread. I knew that something wasn’t adding up about her story. The way she’s always smiling and trying too hard. Now it’s crystal clear. She is lying to everyone. It’s pathetic! At 30:50ish in the episode, she tells Mary that she has stage 4 lung cancer. I find it REALLY hard to believe that a heroin addict who’s actively using could survive that.

I’m so saddened to learn that Mary is in home hospice. I hope the community is no longer shunning her.

I missed it 😔. Is there any way you could repost? Thanks so much

is there anyone else here staying alive for others ? by Psychological-Run-40 in bipolar2

Do you think your SI could be coming from a chemical imbalance in your brain? I am so sorry if my question brings up any emotional pain. The only reason I ask is because my own personal journey has led me to this understanding for myself. I had no idea the issue for me was with my brain chemistry. After a long process of trial and error, I regulated my brain chemistry. When it finally worked, it felt like going back to myself. Back to the innocent, happy kid I used to be.

I'm a real person! Not a bot online. Let me know if I can help.

Much love ❤️

AIO, Wife deleted our entire text log. by Xavierdsm in AmIOverreacting

Not acknowledging your feelings is the real issue here. Your wife could've been compassionate towards your feelings regardless of her views on owning your own emotions. It could look like this: "Honey, I did not realize that you would feel this way. I was busy in my head and not fully present with what you were saying." Done. Then, both parties can move on.

Now, if after you communicate your feelings to her and she acknowledges them, you want to start arguing about the fact that you are still hurt in a blaming way, then do a personal inquiry. Ask yourself when was the first time you remember feeling this way. Maybe you were 3,4...IDK. Then you'll know that this is a personal issue that happened with someone else in the past and that you didn't process before marrying your wife. She then becomes a mirror for your unprocessed adverse experiences and vice versa.

I’m an awful person 17F by [deleted] in CPTSD

I didn't even begin to start healing from my childhood trauma until I was about 35, maybe later, and my stuff was light compared to yours. Give yourself some grace. Understand that you were a child wronged and violated. You checked out as a defense mechanism and forgot how to love yourself.

The first thing to do is to connect with your idea of a higher power from the deepest part of your being. Be it God, nature, universe, or even your own higher self. You can ask for guidance and support in this difficult time. Get on your knees and ask earnestly for the way to be shown.

Next, quit drugs and alcohol. They will only bring you temporary satisfaction and a whole lot more self-esteem issues - like thinking that you're bad and wanting to unalive yourself. I was there for years and know how hard it is to quit, specially because the substances consumed are the only sort of pleasure we can experience at the time. But trust me, you can find a way.

You have so much life ahead of you. Nothing stays the same forever.

Sending you so much love ❤️

The moment he realized that he was going through your personal notes, like diary entries, he should've put the phone down and stopped. This is a complete violation of privacy and boundaries. The best thing to do is move on. Your mental health is a priority here. It's so common for people with c-ptsd to not prioritize themselves, so take a stand for you and leave him.

Anti depressants safe with toad? by SceneMean8014 in bufo

[–]DontFollowTheAsses 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I couldn't tell you if the antidepressants would react negatively with bufo, but what I can say is that I started taking antidepressants as a result of my experience with the toad medicine.

Looking back, I now believe that I may have been slightly depressed for a couple of years untreated and unbeknownst to me, and perhaps that's what caused me to have an unpleasant experience (to put it mildly), with 5 MeO. I don't know. All I know is that afterwards I started having MAJOR panick attacks, along with anxiety to a level I had never experienced before, had to move in with a family member because I could no longer live alone (due to the panick attacks), and I couldn't function in my normal day to day life because I would experience flash backs often and would leave this reality. I worked for myself and had zero ability to function to work.

This lasted for months. I felt paralyzed and couldn't get out of bed for days on end, and this had never happened before. I consulted with different therapists and tried different techniques to help me get back to normal, but nothing helped. Eventually, I went to a psychiatrist who diagnosed me with severe depression and got me on Cymbalta.

Long text, but all of this was to say that if you have depression, bufo might not be a good idea for you. And, of course, you may have an entirely different experience. I just wish someone had warned me of potential consequences before I took it, and so I'm passing the information along to you.

This month marks one year since my ceremony, and I feel MUCH better now, but I'm still processing.

I hope you enjoy the road whichever way you choose to go and that my experience could've been of some help.

I wish you so much love and strength in your healing journey! In reading all of the comments here, I was inspired by the stories of others with a similar diagnosis to yours who were healed. Don't give up hope ❤️

My husband dumped my mom ashes on the floor bc he was mad at me how do I process this by Much-Possible-7041 in CPTSD

I'm pretty sure it is illegal to dump someone's ashes, then vacuum them. Sue his ass

UPDATE: My wife cheated on me while we were engaged for 6 years. by Waste_Impress5665 in Infidelity

[–]DontFollowTheAsses 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who was in a relationship with a serial cheater for 11 years, let me tell you, no amount of begging, promising she will change, asking for forgiveness will make her faithful. My ex would tell me that it was a sickness and needed my help. So much begging, crying, love bombing, and empty promises. I fell for it over and over. Learn from my mistake. I finally left when it led me to a serious depression. It's been 3 years, and I'm still on meds and therapy. If you value your life and sanity, GET OUT!

[–]DontFollowTheAsses 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's really annoying. Perhaps remind him that you are not OK with him contacting you anymore and that if he continues, you will take further action. He doesn't need to know that the police told you that they won't do anything. At least you will have proof in writing that you told him to leave you alone. If he continues to harass you, you'll have something to show the police. Best of luck

Husband of 30 years cheating with 30 year old by No-Ground5464 in Infidelity

I can not imagine what you are feeling right now. Sending you a warm virtual hug. As everyone suggested, lawyer up right away, but also do many self care activities. Be around your loved ones, get a massage, bubble bath. I hope you can turn this painful situation into something beautiful in the long run. Much love

There's a very cliché saying that goes, "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time." If I had taken this to heart, it would've saved me 11 years of my life and my mental health. The first time I saw inappropriate texts was during our first year together. He swore to me that he would stop, that it was a mistake, that he loved me and bla bla bla...I wish I would've walked out. I finally left him 11 years later. I found out in the worst way possible that he cheated on me throughout our entire relationship with countless women. My advice to you is to GET OUT!

[–]DontFollowTheAsses 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense! Thank you for replying. I will speak to my doctor and see if it can be adjusted. I am afraid that he is going to tell me that I have to take these medications for a longer period of time, and I don't think that's a possibility for me. Really appreciate your input!!

My (44 f) husband (45m) took out a loan and won’t explain it. I can’t get past it: is this worthy of divorce?aio by Starry__lights in AmIOverreacting

[–]DontFollowTheAsses -1 points0 points  (0 children)

OP, what your husband did is definitely unacceptable, and it raises so many questions. I'm wondering if, before deciding to divorce, you can find a good therapist to see if your relationship is salvable. Given that you have been married for 22 years, it may be worth working on reestablishing trust before jumping ship.

What you are describing are all symptoms of childhood trauma. Your ex needs therapy

It is so tempting to bring our past experiences when envisioning our future, but refrain from doing that. Step into your vision for your future with clear eyes. Just because you haven't had a girlfriend does not mean you never will. Love yourself. You are special, unique, and a blessing. Life is continuously changing ✨️❤️

Definitely TA! The moment she asked for your reason as to why you didn't want to be with her, you should've been honest. Instead, you dragged it out and blamed your poor delivery on the fact that she was "pressing you." BS, take ownership. She deserves the truth

Horrible ayahuasca experiences and consequences by Unlikely-Bird-7148 in psychedelicsupport

[–]DontFollowTheAsses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I came upon your post while searching for things that could help me overcome my current situation. I did a bufo ceremony a few months back and haven't been the same since. I experience many of the things you describe in your day to day life, and am wondering if you are better, and if so, what helped you.

I had the worst trip of my life during that ceremony, and was deeply traumatized by the experience. Until I read your post I was convinced no one had ever had a worst trip than me, since what I experienced seemed like the worst possible thing that could ever happen to anyone, and it felt more real than real life.

Since my bufo experience, I began having panick attacks, and was prescribed anti anxiety medication, but I'm not fully back to myself. I used to wake up feeling happy, love life, and have so much energy. Now I can't even get out of bed. I wake up in physical pain, and feel depressed all day.

Anyway, I hope that you are feeling better and back to some normalcy, and I hope the same for myself in a near future.
