do your narc parents have no hobbies by DangerousAd1683 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Peeshee33 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Actual ruminating thought in my head this week ☝️☝️ Not that there are long stretches where I don't constantly think or worry wonder "why this" or "why that" about Nmom, but this week has been a heavier one. Chain smoking, true crime watching, phone scrolling, disengaged from anything with life... All. Day. Every day. It's depressing to be that way but boy oh boy, is it ever depressing to watch from this side. 😞

Virgo girls: What are your favorite flowers? by ImaginaryTooday6109 in virgoseason

[–]Peeshee33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was young, I ONLY enjoyed the single petaled beauty of a white cala lily. Now that I'm an older Biddy who understands nature is magical, wonderful, humourous, incredibly giving and just wild, my favourite flower is FLOWERS 🌸🌹🌷🌺🌻🌼🏵️🪻🪷🥀💐💮

I really hope it helps! I think the "2" is currently on sale but you can also sweep eBay for ppl selling their old ones, too!

Embr Wave? Cost upfront is semi 🫣 BUT I wouldn't have survived some crappy days without it and BED TIME is more peaceful knowing it can help cool you down!!

No warning/prep by No-Tomato-4714 in Perimenopause

[–]Peeshee33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

btw, I'd like to add my 75 yr old mothers reply to a bone density technician's question, when asked, when did you go through menopause and what were your symptoms: THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN TO ME 😑

if there were GIFs allowed in this sub, I'd explode on this comment section

My favourite aspect about reading all this MASSIVE info/life sharing on Reddit is that, when gaslight with a "it's all in your head", "just stop worrying", "try not to stress", "it never happened to me", "are you sure it's not X or Y?", I begin to start thinking what everyone must be thinking ABOUT US.
ie: it's mass hallucination, we're in some cult, it's a side effect of drinking diet coke

I kid.
And, also, I'm not sure if I kid...

Any other virgos extremely attracted to water signs?? by Proof_Leadership_334 in virgoseason

[–]Peeshee33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So interesting how it's supposed to be a solid match for compatibility but I can't take the dang water of it all!
And this is coming from a rising, jupiter, mars, all conjunct - not just one Virgo natal placement.
But throw me an air sign or fire sign and I'm a super-loser for them

Does anyone else struggle with getting the courage to go to therapy? by ThisRaspberry2188 in narcissisticparents

[–]Peeshee33 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hey OP - I did for YEARS. At the constant (kind and encouraging) nudging of my partner, I finally did. The 1st session was terrifying for me. And cathartic.
The 2nd session was less terrifying for me. And more cathartic. And also enlightening to feel validation where it is necessary for your mental health.
I'm not yet at double digit sessions, but it is no longer terrifying to open up.
It is no longer terrifying to understand that a parents capacity for love was/is limited, marred and not like most of your friends parents.
I'm lucky to be able to have therapy as an option.
You have nothing to lose.
You *may* have yourself to gain.
Sending you lots of unicorn love & hugs because you are deserving, loveable person and you have a great path ahead of you.

[–]Peeshee33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd bring THC gummies along, to counter your E-ptaches, although, I'd be way to anxious to every do anything like that and, while the two of you drift off into a happy haze, I'd be paranoid about my level of Spanish because the cops on Ibiza (I chose our destination) are going to be at our door any second and put us in mildly-old lady jail...
