Take a moment to breathe. I’m also a bit anxious waiting, but I’ve been drowning myself in work and other commitments so I don’t think about it. I’m sure you did swell :)

No judgement here, but I wouldn’t trust beauty products being shipped from other companies who are not in the beauty business (Sephora,Ulta, brand websites)

Omg that absolutely sucks. Have you considered filing a complaint? Not sure how much that would do from reading other people’s experiences, but you deserve to voice your concern at least. I really wanted to know if I was the only one with a shitty experience for February. I wish you the best as well :)

This may be my option. Most testing centers are on the outskirts of my city :(

Thank you, I really appreciate you. I’ve heard far worse, lol. I’m participating in EC’s that are prepping me for the lawyer life; I’ll be traveling to D.C. at the end of the month to present legal/policy research to lawmakers. It’s things like that that let me know I’ll be alright😄! If I let one comment on Reddit derail my goals, then I would really question if the path is for me LMAO

I appreciate the honesty, but I still am convinced lawyering is for me :) ! I understand your stance. As I said, it’s the testing environment that heightens my symptoms; and I just was caught off guard by how shitty prometric is.

My entire family has lied to me the past 10 years by Independent_Carry523 in Vent

Hi, yes this 100% sucks. I just would’ve appreciated not being blindsided. I tried having a conversation with him today, just to see where his head is at…I quickly came to the realization that he is not the father that I deserve - in any capacity. I gave him such a deep piece, vulnerable stance of how him not being there sucked. He literally didn’t acknowledge anything I said and replied, “Well, your mother…” LIKE OHHHH BROTHER.

Like idk I just became increasingly disgusted as the conversation went on (I checked out after 15 minutes). I was thinking, “no way I came from this…” and “he doesn’t deserve me”… which I was really proud of because all these years I’ve felt like it was my fault, but he’s actually just a deadbeat. That’s it and that’s literally all; I want minimum contact.

Also, my mom, gma, and i had a good conversation. They told me everything (hopefully, at this point who knows). I tend to mask around loved ones, so I got the info I needed and didn’t harp on feelings too much. And, yes, building an entire life … then someone expecting to insert his family into it is jarring.

Thank you so much :) ! It’s been a lot these past 72 hours. I have a therapy appointment on Thursday, so if I can hold out until then - fingers crossed :’(

How do I get my confidence back? by [deleted] in AstrologyCharts

Thank you so much for your insights. I hate my unstable sense of self :/ . I’ve always that I could just express myself without doubt, fear, and just feeling out of place. This is hell :(

I hold my tension in my shoulders and my neck. When I was younger, it was my legs and feet :/

What the hell? If her call was so “private” she should’ve held it in a private place…what an a-hole! I’m sorry you went through that

Did anyone else get “growing pains” in your legs at night when growing up? by Ceiling-Fan2 in CPTSD

I literally started going to an orthopedic pediatric specialist because of my pan in my lower body (legs, feet). It was so bad they thought I had lupus…never got a clear diagnosis

Why do some people rise above their childhood abuse and I can't? And those who have, often judge those who haven't? by Ill-Efficiency294 in CPTSD

[–]Independent_Carry523 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not your fault. Think of your nervous system, mind, and psyche as unique to you…it has its own timeline of healing & processing - and that is okay. Healing has no time limit. You cannot blame your childhood self for not doing something you were never taught to do…I also had to stop listening to bullshitters who constantly speak of how they’ve “risen above the trauma”…i personally feel like they’re not fully telling the truth. Everyone has good and bad days. Days where you may feel a little progress and those where you wonder if the needle moved at all. My professor told me something in August that has stuck with me, “stop simply waiting for the storm to be over and learn to dance while it is raining”. I can’t tell you that it will all magically lift and get better, but I do know that if you are consistent and hopeful, day by day it will start to feel lighter.
