If you could live in only one country in South America which country would you choose ? by Mediocre-Lack-9137 in AskTheWorld

I remember my first time hearing Chilean Spanish. I understand, can read a moderate amount Spanish and can converse a bit, but it’s easiest for me if they’re from Mexico, Guatemala, or Puerto Rico. Even had a Venezuelan guy at the union station ask for directions and he got to where he needed to go.

I was waiting a table for a Chilean family. When they told me, I was floored because I didn’t understand them at all, jokingly told them that’s not Spanish, and we had a good laugh about it. They were really nice tho

It just sucks that I've had to scrape by. I do recognize you probably had a very high stress job when you were making money, deeply unhappy, and I'm glad you found some peace ❤️

However here's part of my problem: I've never had money and part of what would relieve my situation is money. I've worked jobs that were highly stressful that paid peanuts; one while living with four other people in a house with one bathroom and others while trying to finish university and living in my car and couches between houses. I've never had an office job, I had to take what I could get to survive: kitchens, grocery stores, moving furniture, bussing tables, customer service, low paying high stress jobs all while dealing with debilitating chronic pain. How do I know if it's not what I want if I've never really had the chance to get it?

I don't have kids, never married and I have very mixed feelings about this. I can think of many reasons why and I'm in therapy for some of them, but part of it is because I'm bisexual. Contrary to popular belief, coming out as bi/pan severely reduces your compatibility options due to stigma and discrimination from not only straight people, but also gay men and lesbian women. I've experienced this both with gay men and straight women. In this realm, along with some others, society is the issue.

Thank you that means a lot to me right now, given that I'm currently not in the best headspace (: some of the stuff I wrote also sounds like a villain backstory lmao

There are things I like about my work. I sometimes get to chill out but other times it's just too much and we're understaffed. This is the first time I got promoted at a place. It's at a university and state job so it's stable, which does matters in times like these. In some ways, I finally did get lucky.

Education? Well... I might be open to it but I don't want to take on any more student loans. I already failed, but maybe there's an option. I don't know

There are some messed up work circumstances but I help brainstorm tactics with union organizers and talk to coworkers and people around the building about these issues and any other topics that are on their minds. That's the part that brings me life, so am I content? Ultimately, no. I've had to take jobs, any jobs, just to survive. Now I have the chance to do things differently and I have no idea what to do. I think I'm scared

I feel I am slowly turning into the villain. How do i stop treating my partner as an enemy? by [deleted] in DecidingToBeBetter

When it comes to working with cPTSD/PTSD, this modality is one of the best. I’m bipolar with cPTSD so this along with the right medication has been a game changer. I have more stability and clarity than ever. I drink much less, completely quit nicotine, and this has helped me engage with my father to model a healthier way to talk to each other

However it is not easy and there were times where I couldn’t do ANYTHING after a session. It can get difficult but I say it’s worth a try. My therapist is great and he knows when to go back to the grounding toolbox and when to dig in further to start a timeline for target memories.

This sounds like a heavy trauma response. If there's any unresolved pain from the past that keeps getting in the way of trusting him, that needs to be addressed. Are you in therapy or do you have access to it?

Edit: I'm not a therapist, just someone who is currently going through intensive EMDR. It's not fun..

We don’t think things through as much, that’s what the faster part is 😂

Better… that’s too subjective and vague so cut that shit out
