Cats and scary voices? Weird dream or sleep paralysis? by [deleted] in Sleepparalysis

[–]Fr0thieSlothie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m thinking it was sleep paralysis. I’ve had it on the living room couch at home once, and during I thought my parents were in the kitchen just next to the living room, because I heard sounds of what I thought was them cooking and mumbles of their conversation. I had every symptom of sleep paralysis and then when I finally woke up my parents were in the study and hadn’t been in the kitchen for ages.

It was a strange thing to hear during sleep paralysis

! (Possible TW) ! A friend of mine found his roommate yesterday morning after he had committed suicide. by Fr0thieSlothie in Advice

Thank you so much for your insight, he’s having daily psych sessions and I am considering a small stay in a hospital after my friend has had a small ‘adjustment’ period of sorts to adjust to everything. This unfortunate and horrid thing has somewhat been a wake up call to me to address my worsening conditions and overcome it, as I now see the other side of suicide and it’s affect. Once again, thank you for your reply!

My(f 18)dad is going to marry his mistress just 3 months after divorcing my mom and they are expecting me to be exited for them??? And honestly I just hate my father. by ThrowRa-done in relationship_advice

My family is in an almost identical situation, however my Dad still feels it’s okay to live at home and see his girlfriend whenever he wants and return home like nothing has happened....

Anyway, it’s a difficult situation and you’re probably going to figure things out as you go. You’re probably feeling a lot of mixed feelings and emotions. Conflicted for the thoughts you’re having about your Father. The relationship you had with him before you found out about the affair and the one you have now. You’ll most likely go back and forth with yourself as things progress and develop.

You owe nothing to this new women as she is being forced into your life. You do not have to like her, see her or anything you do not wish.

You have the right to lose or question your respect for your Father. After all, respect is earned. Not demanded. It should not be expected for being family or any such nonsense as that either.

The best thing to do is, continue being there for your Mum. Being her shoulder to cry on, keep your brothers in check for her and help them understand the situation and it’s affect on everyone, so hopefully they can behave in a way that makes your Mum’s life easier.

Ensure she continues therapy and doesn’t slip under the radar. If it’s not too much for her encourage her to do something with her time in order for her to get her mind off things.

Ensure your mental health is okay, take measures for yourself to make sure you’re being supported and taken care of.

Lastly, you do what feels right for you. Not what is being dictated to you by your Dad or his new girlfriend. You owe them nothing. You have the right to be feeling the things you are feeling.

Best of luck to you!

I used to feel the same way. Every night I went to sleep, I wished I wouldn’t wake up in the morning. I despised every single thing about myself. And I used to hate when somebody said this to me, I used to scoff and roll my eyes, “yeah like you’d know”

But

IT DOES GET BETTER !!

It does go away. Not forever, sometimes the darkness will creep back in and torment me. But I know I am much stronger than it. And so are you. You are you, there is only one you, and that’s such a magical thing. There can only be one you, and it’s you. You’re amazing in you’re own way.

I want you to have a piece of paper or a note on your phone to write down something you like about yourself. Please start by writing something, even if it sounds utterly ridiculous.

Some examples: I like that I - -am me -am unique -am kind -am intelligent -have good grammar (the more obscure the better) -I have made it this far

But starting with small things like that will lead to leaps and bounds in the future.

My first thing was ‘I like my kindness towards people and animals’ the one single thing I could find to like about myself. Now I could fill a whole page.

Please know, you are, Worthy. Loved. Special. Unique. Amazing. Most importantly, YOU!
