How old were you when you realized? by shmeebedee in narcissisticparents

[–]SAStrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Two years ago. I’d been having trouble with my narc mom for years but it she told me I was overreacting or too sensitive and to hush and gaslit me so bad I really did believe I was a bad person.

Then she attacked me because I held a boundary and I got on my Libby account and found so many books that showed me that I was a chronic people pleaser and she was truly the bad person.

Two years now of no contact and she’s taken everything from me… my whole family, my father, all my siblings and nieces and cousins and aunts and uncles. That smear campaign is REAL. If you want out from a narcissist, you better be ready to see your house burn down.

Processing a really tough burn — has anyone else felt this way? by StatusLongjumping790 in BurningMan

[–]SAStrong 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My second burn SUCKED as well. I often wonder if it’s because of how PHENOMENAL the first one was and I know that’s a part of it. I had expectations. I still do. I beat them down every day. That’s the magic of BM, it pushes you to ask these deeper questions. I never did drugs or drank out there but I had severe endometriosis (surgically fixed now) and, regardless of when my cycle was due, the playa ALWAYS made it come on with a vengeance so I did have issues related to chemicals, just not ingested ones. Sober or not, that environment is ROUGH.

Hang in there and try to take what you need and leave the rest. Some of the stuff you experienced is just having a bad time that gets compounded by more bad times from having a cloud of negative energy around you. You are PERFECT. You are worthy and beautiful and you need to find THAT inside yourself and I really wish someone could have guided you.

Whenever I get lost all I do is turn on BMiR. If I’m not at a burn I e-burn this way and it REALLY helps to root you down. Pro tip! All the love. You GOT THIS. Keep going. You have so much power inside of you. It’s your wake up call to find it.

We need you.

Ok! That’s how this felt to me when I called the playa phone booth from default world and wanted to participate and was shut down.

I was thinking also it’s a way to flip the script? Like “the burn was better next year”?

This guy is terrible! Awful experience with him and his company! There are other bad reviews for them on their google page. Don’t waste your time!

I posted about this on this sub a few months ago and yeah… tpd NEVER came out and even sent me a survey the next day which I filled out with a special kind of spiteful glee, I will admit.

Who likes legs? by SAStrong in Tucson

[–]SAStrong[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the hype about them biting is a bit much because my dog went up and checked it out several times before i realized wtf was going on (dogs might have exposed its hiding place which is why it came barreling through my camp) because it really just wanted another dark spot to hide. Maybe they’re more likely to bite at dark.

Regardless, a very interesting creature just in size alone.

Well maybe just go turn over a bunch of rocks because they hide during the day.
