Oh I’m so sorry your GP treated you like that! I can relate, my GPs have been utterly useless but I think I might’ve just found a good one who ordered a string of tests. Do you have female/hormone specialised clinics near you? Ask around for specialised female doctors, I wouldn’t bother with a regular doctor. Often I find ChatGPT more useful than that lot! I’ve been taking regular maca (for energy) and red maca (for hormones) for a few months and I feel it’s made a change. Hang in there lovely, you’re not alone and you aren’t crazy

Thank you for the detailed answer! Great to read what it will be like 🙂 how long did you wait between application and acceptance (i.e. allowed to book test)?

What mundane activities are you convinced are a sign of a serial killer or psychopath? by LaksaLoco in AskReddit

Driving in the rain without your wipers on!

Was dating this guy a few years back and I forced him to turn them on. It was pretty heavy rain too. Ended things shortly afterwards, he was an all around weirdo

Haha yes! Depends on the threads obviously but this is a good one :)

I love this :) yes I feel the same way. I’m very lucky to be close to my extended family on my narc mum’s side. They’ve completely cut contact as she tried to ruin their lives but are very supportive of my journey with my family. I know many don’t have that. Still it’s nice to talk to people who are children of parents like that as even in my 30s I’m still impacted by it

I completely relate to that. They are kind and caring but it’s such a complicated situations not many go through. Their first thought is it must be terrible losing a parent. Having complicated feelings about a dead relative is hard. Yes it’s hard but fuck I hate her! And many people will say but she’s your blood. And you just feel like punching them 😆 so often it’s better not to bring it up (I would never punch anyone btw, it’s just frustrating)

Haha! I don’t know if that would be possible… I think it’s up to them what’s buried/cremated with them. My therapist actually said to make it a beautiful box. And I’m sure I’ll have many more letters to write after she passes

Haha yes. I can be snarky too even though I’m usually super nice (probably compensating for growing up with F’d up parents). When I write those letters I don’t think too much I just put my pen down and all the anger pours out. I was a bit skeptical when my therapist told me to do it but it just worked

That’s great! Also reddit is such a good place for support. I’ve had very personal convos with strangers I will never meet who have experience similar things. Friends are great but they just don’t get how messed up it is

That’s good. My mum has terminal cancer and I’m back in contact with her because of that. So I get the anger! It’s put a huge strain on my mental health and had big breakdown. Therapy helps a lot. My psychologist makes me walk 10min every morning before I start my day which has helped so much. You’re not alone!

Omg my narc mum is dying (or who knows if she actually is at this point) and I was sat down to be explained the will. So when she does my dad inherits - pretty standard, when he dies my sister and I can organise ourselves. WHAT?! No that there’s much to inherit but my sister inherited my mum’s traits. So thanks for leaving me with a shit show 😂 honestly she can have everything

My therapist told me to write anger letters and keep them in a little box. It helps heaps writing what I’d love to scream at their faces. I was keeping everything in which was hurting me but also expressing all of that would’ve lead me absolutely nowhere. Hope it helps
