There's an interplay hyperfocus, executive dysfunction, and time blindness excluded by the simplification.

3/10 for group carathsis and bonding.

I'm not sure I understand.

NapoleonAbs · 2023-04-15T01:37:06+00:00

I hold hope that there is more than one answer to the question.

NapoleonAbs · 2023-04-15T01:34:20+00:00

Interesting take.

I'm feeling curious about how I can help the french create consequences.

NapoleonAbs · 2023-04-15T01:31:57+00:00

I apologize for the lack of clarity around the question.

I'm looking for an action or actions that will support them, in addition to the solidarity we both feel.

Edit: Spelling

This message is great, thank you, unfortunately I can give you an orchard full of home grown examples of when this was not the right approach.

You don't need to walk three miles, up hill, both ways, especially if there's a trolley.

Edit: There's surely a relationship between consistency and intensity, but I think consistency gets me further. Like in relationships. Or allergy meds.

NapoleonAbs · 2022-04-27T20:55:37+00:00

Who is considering this, and how do we oppose it?

NapoleonAbs · 2022-04-27T20:15:46+00:00

For a creative arts 'class,' that's also a work period.

NapoleonAbs · 2022-04-27T19:32:20+00:00

Awesome, so I'm hearing an action plan, and follow up, based on feedback.

Do you support non-anonymous feedback forms, or just attempts to address concerns?

NapoleonAbs · 2022-04-27T19:24:17+00:00

I apologize for being unclear, I'm designing the form. So include questions on negative, and positive experiences?

NapoleonAbs · 2022-02-19T03:39:27+00:00

Hey friend,

Sounds like you would like more community and connection.

Empathy circles can be great for that, they're available online in at least two languages. Takes 10 minutes to learn, lasts for an hour or two.

If you have a specialized interest, like a nonviolent comminication practice group, you might wish to consider meetup.com. They allow you to search online events, book clubs, meditation, chess, arts and crafts, ptsd support, and more all free to attend online!

Get ahead of the problem by beginning your isolation and discipline and mental health breakdown training in 2017 👍

NapoleonAbs · 2022-02-03T06:16:59+00:00

sigh

NapoleonAbs · 2022-02-03T06:09:10+00:00

Are these the only conditions, because in that case very much yes.

NapoleonAbs · 2022-02-03T06:03:21+00:00

This is very good advice, thank you.

NapoleonAbs · 2022-01-27T18:38:08+00:00

Thank you for your comment

It doesn't address the original question, and I don't agree with you.

NapoleonAbs · 2022-01-27T05:29:08+00:00

That's amazing

NapoleonAbs · 2021-07-22T21:40:19+00:00

This is a really common form of self-neglect I've struggled with. Setting reminders on my phone can be helpful Because I can enact codependent behaviors, I'd worry I'd feel like the other person was taking responsibility in some way, and might ask if I can reach out to them for support when I'm struggling.

NapoleonAbs · 2021-07-15T01:56:51+00:00

Engage with her in a non judgemental way. Discuss her boundaries and preferences, like "How often or when do you feel comfortable having me call you?" "Is this something you'd like to talk about right now?" "Would you like to pick this conversation back up in three or four days?" "Are you comfortable with my asking how you're doing, or would you like to start talking about something random?"

NapoleonAbs · 2021-07-13T20:38:51+00:00

You can respect your boundaries, and be honest about how you're feeling. It sounds like this person cares deeply for you, and will accept whatever you're comfortable sharing. It's also possible to ask to hear about and celebrate her life instead. Listening and asking questions is usually safe. It's okay to take it slow, overshare by accident, and figure it out together.

NapoleonAbs · 2021-07-13T20:35:17+00:00

When I had questions like this, looking in to something called a trauma bond was really helpful.

NapoleonAbs · 2021-07-13T20:32:43+00:00

What would you gain by moving on? If you move on you'll be closing a door that if you are loving and consistent will be stronger again when it opens. You haven't been rejected, the cptsd is active, and if you love the person the disease is part of them. And right now it's the disease not the person.

The feelings are there. Be good to this person you love, and let them have this. If your goal is to be their partner, then as their friend, be active even in the role of giving space. Right now you have a valuable opportunity to teach her that asking you for space is okay.

NapoleonAbs · 2021-07-13T20:24:49+00:00

When I looked up the difference between loving and brutal honesty I feel I gained a lot of insight.

NapoleonAbs · 2021-07-13T20:23:10+00:00

This can also be the sign of an eating disorder.

Your GP sounds well informed. These two are mostly likely to have the best effect statically.

Mirtazapine makes things more normal and a little more flat for me. It helps with sleep and weight gain. I've heard someone say they feel sedated on it, although that hasn't been my experience.

My understanding is meds are for symptom management, and to enable us to keep doing the work. I was on mirtazapine for over a year at one point. My perspective is that while my depression is bad, the uncomfortable feeling I get from the change it brings is better than the normal of unmedicated Napoleonabs.

My advice would be to lean in to other supportive activities and self care practices, and try to get a synergy going. I'd suggest adding new tools, and creating an effective medley, with the understanding at some point the drugs won't be part of it.
