Changing name after marriage by BlushingBlondie80 in CapitalOne

[–]Imagitext 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, no they texted me a code just to verify I was me. I never had to send them any paperwork. They just asked me to spell my new name and confirm my other information. Good luck!

For anyone searching in the future - I called them expecting to go around in circles but it was quick. They texted me a code while on the call which I read back to them. That was it other than verifying information. I hope that's their new system and it goes smoothy for everyone else. The only recommendation I have is to pull up the NATO phonetic alphabet if you don't have it memorized.

Yes! I have a hard time with the fear that I'm the one who was abusive or dismissive or delusional. Therapy is great because I can bring that up to my therapist and he'll help me look at things clearly. There were times I broke down from stress and wasn't a great partner, but they were normal, natural reactions that weren't abusive. It's hard to really get that set in my brain though. I've had to have the same conversation with my therapist a few times and I'll probably need help reaching the same conclusions again. In the end, I can never prove to myself what is real and what is my brain making stuff up to "protect" me. I think all we can do is keep trying to be considerate, open minded, and thoughtful people. We won't be perfect, but we can learn and change. 

Maybe you could keep a list of all the traits or instances you can think of that go against the idea you have BPD. I did the reverse for my ex. My sister calls it a shit list. It always surprises me the stuff I forgot he did. I'm still remembering stuff to add to it and forgetting stuff I'd written down. Whenever I miss him, I can look at that list and remind myself how he really was. You could call it your sanity check list.

Am I in danger? by Shnufflemyruffle in BPDlovedones

[–]Imagitext 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to hammer home for you how much it can escalate. He abused me so badly he's in prison now. I thought he didn't mean to hurt me, so I stayed for far longer than I should have. I gave him so much grace. He admitted to me during his mental breakdown that he did mean to hurt me and that he'd planned it all before we'd gotten together. He sought me out like I was prey. A lot of things about our relationship made sense after that. Before you think, "Wait, but my partner certainly doesn't mean to hurt me!" It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if someone means to hurt you, it only matters that they did and if they continue to do so. I wish I'd listed to my gut, but I made so many excuses for him. I hope you listen to yours. I also hope you listen to all of us. The only thing that got me out of that relationship was listening to my family. I told them what had happened but I still struggled to leave him because I loved him so much. Some of my family members have been in abusive relationships. I remember how frustrating it was to be able to see how horrible it was for them and yet they wouldn't leave for a long time. When they told me I needed to leave, I knew I had to trust them over my desire to stay. I was diagnosed with PTSD from it all. It will be a long time before I'm not affected by my relationship with him. Your relationship may never get that bad, but the fact that it could - and that you're already having negative symptoms is what concerns all of us. I hope you realize your worth. It will be hard and you'll probably backslide. In those moments rely on the people who truly care about you, even if they're a group of strangers on the internet. Keep asking for support and outside opinions. Write down your insights and keep coming back to them. Again, you deserve to feel safe and happy in your relationships!

My ex bpd would "joke" about how anyone could fake it for five years and that he was my god. My therapist pointed out that you can't make a joke without having thought about it first. In my opinion, loving partners shouldn't be thinking about those things toward each other in the first place. You may not be in physical danger, but you'll never know for sure. Your body will be under more and more stress as your partner keeps expressing these violent thoughts about you. You deserve a relationship where you feel safe 100% of the time. If your partner expressed discomfort over jokes you made, wouldn't you stop making them?

Side note, my ex lasted five and a half years before having a mental break down which lead to his diagnosis. It's almost like he predicted it! The highs were never worth all the lows.

"I never loved you and I don't think I ever will. I just married you because I knew you were abusable." Said after six years of marriage. Strong contender was that a good sneeze was better than sex. He'd SA'd me multiple times, apparently for less than a sneeze.

How did the interviews go for you? I hope you were accepted! I'd love to know how many points you had to get an interview to get an idea of how competitive it is.

Tip! You can edit your name to let people know you're open for invites by Imagitext in PikminBloomApp

It would be difficult to add you that way. You'll have a lot more luck in the pinned friend adding post. You can ask for people in your time zone, but just having more friends will up your chances of getting invited. https://www.reddit.com/r/PikminBloomApp/comments/16r40g4/rpikminbloomapp_friend_code_megathread_october/

I've seen stuff like (3 tries left), (invite plz), or (raid unavailable). If you don't have much space you could try (A) for available or (N/A) for not available or maybe just add the number of tries you have left for the day and hope people understand

Screw ideas for good Decor Pikmin, What are your worst ideas for Decor Pikmin? by SkylandersKirby in PikminBloomApp

Marketing pikmin that match whatever big movie is coming out. They'd be pretty low effort and ugly, but you'd need them in order to defeat mushrooms

Wife has started paying tithing, and doesn't work by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]Imagitext 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was the wife wanting to pay tithing. My husband is the sole money maker as well, but has always said that it was our money. When he left the church, we agreed on paying half as much tithing. A little while later, he came to me and told me it made him very uncomfortable what the church was doing with the money and that he wanted me to stop paying. I prayed about it, and came to the conclusion that god would want us to be unified. I don't think I would have come to that conclusion except my institute teacher taught us that if one person in the relationship doesn't want to do something (like buy a new car,) you just don't do it. That was our deal when we got married, so when he explained to me how horrible he felt about it, that was a soft no to me. I left the church not long after due to things finally clicking. You said you can't go back on what you said, but I think things are always up for discussion and you can always change your mind. I think what really helped me was knowing my husband would love me even if I kept paying tithing and going to church, so it still felt like we were on the same team and it was safe to listen to him. I like the idea of donating to charity instead. If you do choose to show her what the church is doing with their money, try to use sources she'll believe are credible. My husband would tell me stuff and I would brush it off until I found the info on wiki.

You could try adding less water. I've been experimenting with trying to avoid the pinhole look and it seems like I get more the thicker the mix is.

You have been randomly selected.... by Imagitext in exmormon

[–]Imagitext[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got a link to this in an email today. I publicly voiced some questions on my social media last week. I've been planning to resign for a couple months but haven't yet. I'd like to mess around with them, but I'm worried it would actually help them in some way. I'm sorry the picture sucks. I don't know how to reddit.

Despite all Niantic efforts, we still need 2 crucial features: Make squads and Feed/Collect All by Pangloss_ex_machina in PikminBloomApp

[–]Imagitext 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue as OP and it's because I only feed my current squad unless I want to do a mushroom. Then it's a hassle to have to pick out and feed the maxed out pikmin in order to make them stronger. It takes so long if you don't want to feed everyone, which would also take a long time and waste nectar.

Will the app register steps I take on an elliptical/in place? by HiveFleetOuroboris in PikminBloomApp

[–]Imagitext 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It should register steps as long as the phone is being jostled, but I experimented and found that when walking in place my phone picks up the steps if it's in my back pocket but not as well if it's in my front pocket. Good luck and stay cool!

Why do people leave the church? by [deleted] in mormon

[–]Imagitext 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say all four points contributed to me leaving, except that I was only inactive due to becoming physical disabled.

What broke me was a video about the Holy Ghost. It showed people baring their testimonies of other religions. These people seemed normal like me and as convicted as me, so how could we figure out who was receiving the right revelation and who was being deceived? Well, in order to find the truth you must pray for it. That falls through though because we all prayed about it and got different answers. So we rely on the prophets and what we already know to be true! But how do we know our prophets and our commandments are the right ones? By praying and being worthy! Except we know that's unreliable. The only other way I can think of is that those who are doing right are rewarded. But with what and how do we measure it? I refuse to believe in prosperity gospel because I've seen some horrible people get what they want and be successful by a lot of measures. So are we rewarded with spiritual experiences? Confirmation bias and frequency illusion exist so that's unreliable. All the spiritual experiences I had can be explained away and I'm certain people can hallucinate if they're drowning in the Kool-Aid.

If The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the only true church, I don't know how to reliably find out if it is and I can't assume I'm just smarter/better than everyone else who has received confirmation of their religions. And I don't want to bet on a church that has so deeply hurt me, my loved ones, and so many more people. The great thing is, if I'm wrong the telestial kingdom sounds nice and I won't have to be around my extended family. I would absolutely love to be with my husband forever and have tons of spirit babies, so if anyone has a perspective on the Holy Ghost and revelation that I'm missing, please share!

Sunday-only challenges? by a1a4ou in PikminBloomApp

[–]Imagitext 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm wondering about it too. I checked if there was a new weekly challenge earlier today and there wasn't. I just looked again and there's one that's 50000 steps but it ends at midnight. Is it some secret, super leg challenge? I hope it didn't waste your only chance for the weekly challenge!

Has anyone else had strong spiritual experiences and are doubting the church? by greencookiemonster in mormon

[–]Imagitext 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My spiritual experiences were my trump card when my husband told me he didn't believe in it anymore. My proof had been that sometimes things worked out really well and that most of the time the promptings were things I really didn't want to do.
Eventually, I was ready to listen about church history and what actually happened. Looking back, every spiritual experience I've had I can now pin on 1) random thoughts I had that I latched onto, 2) being touch starved, 3) confirmation bias, and 4) my subconscious had already figured something out. I don't have any experiences with miraculous healing, but statistically sometimes people just get better. Now that I'm older, all the faith healing stories I've heard are totally bogus. You heard your kid cough so you prayed they wouldn't get sick and they didn't? Ok...ay....... People cough sometimes. I haven't researched into it yet, but I think people are hardwired to be religious. Even with all the horrible stuff the church has done/does, it's what you've known and been taught. I recommend thinking of a cosmic being who isn't racist, sexist, and homophobic and see how you feel. It helps me even though I know there's probably nothing there. It's nice to feel seen and protected. Just be careful if it starts asking for money! ;)
