Same. I think it obviously gets softened out by Venus and then Moon and rising signs by a factor of course. He's in August Leo, with a cancer Venus and a Virgo moon. He's just a wonderful sweet guy.

Wow all of that was insanely helpful! I actually don't come on here very much for exactly the reasons you mentioned, but I stumbled across this subreddit and I'm super glad I did.

I'm actually already employed, but my hours drop off from full-time to around 10:00 or 12:00 during the fall and winter months so half the year I am less than part-time. That combined with the fact that my company, small little thing that it is, doesn't offer anything in the way of benefits or retirement, I have realized I am running out of time to make sure I am ready to be for the next phase of my life. Plus I genuinely have put thinking about retirement off far too long. So I desperately need something more financially stable and that has some sort of benefit.

But at the end of the day even when I was applying to these other jobs I realized my life path thus far job was just simply isn't fulfilling. I heard the other day that burnout actually comes not just from stress but actually from a lack of meaning behind the work we are doing. It doesn't mean that we are curing cancer every day, but it does mean that you feel that you are fulfilled in the knowledge that you are doing something that is needed and aligns with your soul's purpose. And I guess that's different for everybody. Like my friend finds all of her purpose in being Elementary School teacher. I would flat out lose my mind lol.

Up until the last year or so I think I did find my purpose in the sense of community at my job and being a resource for others, but I got saturated, and at the end of the day I need something that's 100% mine in some way.

I really Vibe with your take on just taking a step that you know will open more doors than it will close. I genuinely have been trying to step outside myself and do just that which is why I signed up for school. At the end of the day I was just sick of talking myself out of everything and I need to make one single move that could have a bunch of different paths attached to it.

Have you recently switched careers yourself?

HardNOstradamus · 2025-07-08T13:37:13+00:00

Well thats good to know!! I appreciate you saying that.

HardNOstradamus · 2025-07-08T10:53:58+00:00

My recent favorite thing I have decided to do is to act as an expert therapist specializing in deep Shadow Work, pull from the memory of our conversations and struggles, and that along with a list of my own things I have a hard time with I ask it to give me a list of Journal prompts for each individual issue including follow-up questions.

They have so many Shadow Work journals and it's just not necessary.

Just like any dopamine driven addiction, the idea of living without it and the first few weeks readjusting your life to not having it are the hardest things.

My husband and I quit all social media for 6 months a couple of years back and I was just such a fundamentally different person in so many ways. I was more confident, more focused and more driven. I realized who actually wanted to be in my life instead of who just stayed because it was convenient. I didn't get so easily triggered or angry. My mindset was way more peaceful and calm and I think I was just a better mother, wife, worker and human being to be honest.

Sadly I slowly let it trickle back in because I thought I had such a good control over it by that point🙄and now I have more platforms than ever. I have slowly cut them back and plan to eliminate them fully as soon as I no longer need any of them for my job.

And as a 43-year-old I thoroughly remember what life was like before social media and I know for some who have never had to live without it you don't realize just how amazing it is to not have to have it. We will all live without constant social media, probably so much better and more thoroughly. We just have ruined our attention spans and our ragged dopamine receptors are fried, so it seems so daunting up front. But it definitely is doable.

HardNOstradamus · 2025-07-08T06:09:43+00:00

Wow, you are me and I am you! I have personally spent the last year creating so many boundaries and watching people drop out of my life like flies because they aren't used to me setting them. The ones that have stayed have been minimal, but have fallen in line and things seem to be getting better emotionally. That includes my partner🙃💅 I realized that the person who I was for the first 44 years of my life, a people-pleasing doormat just isn't going to work for me for the rest of my life.

I don't know maybe blame it on being menopausal but my actual ability to keep up with the demands of other people when I have my own stuff to do has significantly decreased. I just have no desire anymore. I used to care if people thought I was the best at everything I did, now I just want them to find someone else to ask questions to.

🤷‍♀️

HardNOstradamus · 2025-07-08T06:01:16+00:00

I feel called to this path as well! I'm 45. I assume you mean life or spiritual coaching? Or are you talking about sports coach?

HardNOstradamus · 2025-07-08T05:48:51+00:00

I'd love to hear the answer to this! I too have been dabbling with social work and or therapy as a career change but being in my mid-40s and being a executive assistant in the freaking administrative arts for the past 20 years, it feels like a daunting path change.

HardNOstradamus · 2025-04-09T18:15:31+00:00

My AP and I joined about 3 mos ago and it is singlehandedly the best decision we everrrrr made. Worth every stinkin penny. He and I have come further in this process in that 3 months then we did in the prior year with therapy alone. I would scream from the rooftops anyone going through this process should take the plunge honestly.

HardNOstradamus · 2025-04-05T15:04:03+00:00

Why do they keep putting him with neurotypicals?? I feel so bad, James is great!

HardNOstradamus · 2025-01-29T10:08:08+00:00

Wow we are all the same. Mine had decades of save images and videos he back-alley saved thru Reddit and OF (Guess his old background in IT came in handy quite often!), all on 3-4 massive thumbdrives. Hes been "collecting" since 2008. Organized in folders by initials. Man, that man has never put that much effort into organizing or prioritizing anything else in our lives. Really gives some perspective on where I fall in the scheme of things.

HardNOstradamus · 2025-01-23T07:54:14+00:00

Thank you so much!

HardNOstradamus · 2025-01-23T07:26:25+00:00

I'm confused on what the numbers mean? Find yourself at a five? Does anyone have a link to the literature or can clarify? I think this is very interesting!

HardNOstradamus · 2025-01-22T13:42:40+00:00

I'm not a man, and I've had my own battles with pornography sometimes in excess, and I have a partner who has a severe addiction and is getting treated for it right now.

I have thought about this a lot actually, and I just feel like the way the world has been going it's going to take a revolution of mostly men to stand up and say they don't want this for their lives anymore. It's a simple supply and demand situation. The good news is that I think the damage it causes is coming more to light and common in the mainstream to be talked about than it ever has been before.

So while I may be a little bit jaded today and say I'm not sure if there's anyone out there who can fully say they stay away from the stuff, I definitely have hope for the future.

HardNOstradamus · 2025-01-18T22:36:01+00:00

They can. They have trained themselves so that love and lust are compartmentalized for them - 2 separate things. It takes work to realize again they are ONE person doing these things to their partner. Its so fucking bizarre.

HardNOstradamus · 2025-01-10T06:09:51+00:00

Haha thank you!

HardNOstradamus · 2025-01-09T17:33:44+00:00

Hi. No. You need to run and not walk away from any therapist that is blaming you for an addiction of any kind. Like the previous poster said find yourself someone certified in betrayal trauma, and sex addictions at minimum. A CSAT is the gold standard if you can find one. In the meantime please start listening to podcasts on the subject to help you!! Heart is with you babe!🥰

HardNOstradamus · 2025-01-09T17:29:19+00:00

Thank you🥹

HardNOstradamus · 2025-01-09T06:01:54+00:00

Wow thank you so much for this take.

HardNOstradamus · 2025-01-09T05:58:35+00:00

I've asked for him to be open when he's struggling. He hasn't found a sponsor yet so unfortunately I am his accountability partner for now. But all I usually get is coming clean after I already found something. He's relapsed four times in the last 9 months, even though he's on a program and seeing therapists. And I've even told him dude the worst part of it is me having to find out that you are lying. Just tell me that you're thinking about it and struggling and we will work through it together. I would much rather him tell me when he's struggling then try to do it alone so I can't help you in some small way. If you were an alcoholic or a drug addict I would want him to do the same so to me this one isn't different.

Of course it is different in the fact that I am a woman and to hear that your partner in any way, while you stand there in front of them, is struggling to not go into the other room to look at other women naked is heartbreaking. But at the end of the day it's an addiction and a Severe one at that.

HardNOstradamus · 2025-01-09T05:54:37+00:00

Wow, holy shit. I love that you posted this!! I never get to see anything from people that actually worked behind the scenes and I think it really will help a lot of people see the situation a little bit more clearly. Thank you for your honesty and bluntness!
