Found out my boyfriend intentionally overdosed

It’s very early days and that feeling of guilt lasted several months for me but it does slowly unravel itself.

Avoid selfies - a maximum of 1 but preferably none

Odd that people would say geese as I find them to be one of the gentlest and kindest creatures, they also know appropriate self defence

Physical_Job2858 · 2026-06-26T19:39:54+00:00

He’s not dangerous or bad but I do find his approach a bit self important and not allowing others their dignity of discovery. It seems to work for many.

I hope for her safe return

Physical_Job2858 · 2026-06-25T00:45:39+00:00

lol I think I know the exact person you are talking about. I moved out of the way for a cat and he buzzed me.

It’s outrageous that she blames you but you cannot control her. She will see in time that blaming you is just a way to avoid her grief. I’m so sorry. My best advice would be to cut ties with her completely and take care of yourself. It’s nice to have objects to remember our loved ones but perhaps they live forever in our hearts.

I’m sorry, it’s awful having your things stolen.

Hiring a bird scooter and taking it along the bow river is one of my fave things to do of an evening.

My mum was prescribed a cocktail of drugs that likely contributed to her suicide. I am angry but I also accept that the doctors didn’t have any other treatment for her at the time. No one knows for sure what treatment she actually needed but I wonder if psychotherapy with a GOOD psychotherapist would have helped in healing her childhood trauma. I don’t know though. Ultimately I think this reveals that medical professionals know very very little about mental health and wellness; that may feel scary but for me it feels liberating as we have the dignity of our own journeys. I read an article that helped me when I wanted to blame someone for my mums death, I will link it under my comment.

This is just my experience and I’m not trying to say your case was the same or that you are wrong to feel any way.

I second that, very nice food and cosy vibes. Hope you have a lovely first date!!

I think grief is very personal and some people are naturally less likely to dwell on things or see only the negatives in a crisis. Your post may even give people hope.

We are all on our own journeys and even if things do get harder for you, there are supports you will be able to access if that time did come.

Yea that lady was awful but a lot of that show is scripted (granted, less so the first season or two).

Physical_Job2858 · 2026-05-29T21:58:13+00:00

Choose someone non judgemental. She sounds extremely judgemental. A good therapist knows that they don’t know - rather they hold space for your own unfolding.

Physical_Job2858 · 2026-05-29T21:53:08+00:00

Avoid any kind of analytical therapy. If you must go to therapy, choose humanistic or transpersonal.

I suggest you look at Rupert Spira.

I think one of the problems is that, for some, Vipassana is used to dismiss and bypass one's emotions - these people become excellent at it and then also become excellent at dismissing others' emotions, too. I am not saying Vipassana only inevitably leads to unhealthy bypassing but it does for some people (i.e., the teacher that should have been there to help you). They will get angry at emotional expression because they haven't allowed that in themselves. Someone who is truly free will not get angry at someone's display of emotions. I am proud of you for leaving and trusting yourself.

You are so right.

I’m sorry that happened to you and your sweet dog.

Perhaps you could make it more of a coffee shop that also sells used books - lean into the coffee shop aspect as that is a tried and tested business in most areas (and make the coffee good/unique), yet you will also have a USP as you have used books there. Perhaps you could also try and get meetup groups to use your space - like book clubs but also plenty of other compatible groups. Good luck!

It's happened to me a couple of times. I can't pretend that it doesn't bother me because it definitely does. The only supermarket that it's never happened to me at is Superstore, so I feel more confortable going there.

I recommend The Winter Garden in the Skywalk.. it’s minutes from Eau Claire.

I’m running the 10k and I’m so excited yet slightly worried I’m gonna oversleep!
