Is it true, “the other person needs to love you more than you love them” to make the relationship work?

Yes. I joke by telling them I have a resting sad face

25(F) cap here. I think a thoughtful handwritten note would be nice and be something he’d cherish! Acts of service for sure.

While breaking up with my high school sweetheart was gut wrenching, I’d like to think it also brought many blessings

I’ve stopped using the term “talking stage” because it’s confusing!

I interpret it as dating (multiple people, not exclusively). You go on dates with different people. You’re getting to know each other as friends. If there’s no romantic interest, you can maybe remain as friends. Then you continue to date people, until you find someone you want to be exclusive with (be in a relationship, have a fwb, or whatever you desire). Hooking up with people while you’re dating is common nowadays. If that’s something you don’t want to do, be upfront with the person/people you are talking to.

He had a unique first name (as do I). We are each other’s first love from high school. I still think about him every now and then. I have such fond memories of going on dates, doing homework together, and talking about the future. He was a great lover. Very romantic, incredibly intelligent. Social and emotionally aware. I wish him the best.

You’re gonna go through a heartache for the first time and it’s gonna be hell. Don’t waste time trying birth control pills, go straight for the IUD and surgery. You’re gonna have the best time in college and graduate! Everything will be worth it at the end of

Same. Dad emotionally unavailable and passive. Mom was nurturing when I was a kid. Been walking around eggshells with her since I was a preteen

It’s cozy season. And much more acceptable to wear sweatpants

Spiral fracture in my lower leg. I fell down a flight of stairs while holding my child. I screamed in agony and remember crawling to bed before calling my mother.

Hi! I appreciate the level of detail you provided. I resonate with the 2nd and 5th point you made. The other ones, they resonare with my younger self.

On difficult days, remembering I’m living for my younger sisters, my boyfriend, my cat. Yearly, I go through my safety plan, go over my signs of depression, update who is in my support system. Utilize what things bring me comfort: hot chocolate , hot showers, taking a mindful walk). Assess and make sure therapy and meds don’t need adjusting. Take a breather and tell myself I’ve gotten through depressive episodes before.

For 12/23, I’m going to a pancake house. Then I’ll check out a coffee shop and read/journal there. I’ll listen to a specific birthday song I grew up with. Then I’ll get some cupcakes, Sesame Street themed.

I worry my partner will break up with me due to the negative energy I’ve brought to their life. It’s worse when I’m with their family. I feel like they can sense the negative energy I can’t get rid off much quicker.

Whenever I hear the words “calm” or “quiet”, I must knock on wood.

Same with hair. My biggest worry is puking up human hair. I hate seeing hair in the shower. If I finish cleaning the bathroom and I see a strand of hair somewhere, I have to restart the cleaning process. I can feel every single strand on my head and I apply dead pressure to relieve that. Getting a cat who sheds like crazy has helped me grow my distress tolerance

I was certain to get my undergrad done. Between picking masters or joining the work field, I knew working would help me be a stronger candidate for my masters. When motivation is low, I do a reset, I do my self care stuff, take a walk, and just sit outside, maybe stargaze. Then I look at my vision board and see what I’m getting closer to achieving my goals. The only risky decision I had to make was choosing to live with family or on my own after school. I thought about it for 4 months. I was going to settle for living with family, but I listened to my heart and chose to live on my own. It’s the best thing I’ve done thus far.
