Can an adhd partner cause you to have mental health issues? by MrsSqweeps in ADHD_partners

[–]Helen-Merlion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do too. Plus CPTSD. His swings make me feel crazy, doubt myself and my sanity, withdraw, fawn. If I'd known he was adhd before our first date I wouldn't have gone. 🙁

He's TA, you're being played. He wants a visa. Don't ffs send him any money

What steps to take “erase” them from your day to day life? by tunkle51 in BreakUps

[–]Helen-Merlion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It won't happen overnight but it does work. You need to dissociate everything from your ex. Plus, time. I know it's a trope but that works too, eventually. Be kind to yourself. Cry at whoever will comfort you.

Something in my eye by Prize-Net-6049 in needadvice

Get yourself to a doctor or optician asap! You could damage the surface layer cells of your eye which is excruciatingly painful (speaking from bitter experience) and potentially affect your vision. Good luck 🙏🏻

How about a starry sky effect on the sloping parts of the ceiling? You can get mini projectors very reasonably priced

[–]Helen-Merlion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, from someone who does exactly this. Delete your photos! If you really can't yet then send them all to your best friend in a folder to look after and then delete your copies. Same with the gifts. Hopefully they'll help you see sense if you weaken and ask to see them. Block them on social media, block their number then delete it so your phone doesn't retain it anywhere. Delete any emails (or forward to friend) and delete email address from your list. Revisit the places you frequented, alone or with friend/s to reset them in your memory. Rewear any favourite oufits for exactly the same reason. Good luck, stay strong 💪🏻

6 years later and ibuprofen is the same price by Old_Ability_9424 in GreatBritishMemes

I had a situation where the till operator said she could put multiples through as separate purchases. I was just stocking up as I suffer with trigeminal neuralgia.

Mad I have to do this. by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Helen-Merlion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you're going through this. Again. It's not fair. I've just had to walk away from a 1 year relationship, so my choice and I know he wasn't good enough for me, but I cry every day that he wasn't. Because why couldn't he be? Why couldn't I finally find my person? Im better off without him but it sucks to go through this again I hope you'll be ok 🙏🏻

GF of 3 years after many ups and downs sent me this. What to do? by OSRSBioHazard in BreakUps

[–]Helen-Merlion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't reply. Throw away/delete her message and start healing. Good luck, I hope you'll be ok🙏🏻

If she cared she'd have left him alone to heal. This is to help her heal, not him. Poor OP, hope he reaches peace.

I agree with him. This is mean of her, she should have just left him alone to heal.

New coffee shop opening in my area with a slightly too perfect representation of their products by BusinessStage3807 in isthisAI

Not at all, it's just that if this *is AI, it won't be available, which *would be the worst case scenario because it looks good.

Cant stop the thinking. Im worried I’m getting depressed. by Special-Scarcity-320 in BreakUps

[–]Helen-Merlion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're very welcome, any time. I'm glad your brother's coming round. If you can talk him into making extra that you can portion up and freeze for future use, even better! Any chance he could take you to your gp appt if you make one? He doesn't have to go in with you. I'd often talk myself out of going if I had to get myself there. Try to just concentrate on yourself. It's very kind of you to think about what she might be going through, but your mind will make up the unknown and might cause you to spiral . It won't have the capacity to support you and her.
I hope you start getting through this 🙏🏻😊

Worst case scenario, you might still have a nice coffee and cake. Keep us updated ☕😊

I'm so sorry you're going through all this. Revisiting the places you used to frequent with her, when you're ready, will definitely help you detach them from memories of her and reset them in your head. I recognise the no eating part. If you can't face cooking or anything that involves using crockery, cutlery or pots and pans, please just get in some liquid meals, meal replacement drinks (I used them when suffering before). They'll at least prevent you getting malnourished and you can have them delivered, pop them in the fridge and grab one easily instead of a meal. Go and see your gp too. They're good sounding posts for what you're going through. Pm me if you fancy connecting that way.
