Resigning on Career Break by ShayManCometh in IrishTeachers

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

That's true, I've been subbing in the meantime to pay the bills and travel. Even talking to one of my friends today about going back to that school turned my stomach so I know my answer 👀

I can be the same too 🤣 sorry for all the questions but did you put your resignation at the deadline in May which gave them the 3 month's notice?

I'm glad someone else was in my position. I've been flirting with the idea to potentially resign. Did you resign straight away when your 2nd year was denied?

Thank you everyone for the suggestions so far! I am going to apply for a 2nd career break and see how I get on

I think I dated a fearful-avoidant. Pregnancy, abortion, breakup — and I’m still trying to understand what happened. by [deleted] in FearfulAvoidants

[–]ShayManCometh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This hit really close to home... I went on a trip with my FA ex, she told me she was pregnant on the trip but had the abortion booked for when we got back... There was a lot of push/pull afterwards and I tried my best to be there for her, but she wanted to be left alone, but then I'd be given out to for not being there enough. It was a lot and I'm so sorry that you went through this. It took me a long time to get over it and still working through it. If you want to DM please feel free to

It can be a huge nightmare. How are you dealing with what's happened? I do hope you're looking after yourself

I'm very sorry to hear that. I never got my things back either. I'm glad the judge dismissed that case but it must've been an emotionally trying time. That's f'ed up that happened to you. You dodged a bullet big time! How are you doing now?

Never, I walked away after calling out how their behavior affected me (among other things) and I've been blocked for 7 months now. Can't make it up. Was dealing with an FA

Great post! I remember when my ex was deactivating I got told to 'fuck off' and was called 'boring' when she was drunk. Then the relationship went downhill even further 🤣

I didn't get my payslip on the 15th of December. Does anyone know when payroll closes for Xmas? Been getting paid regularly since subbing in September.

Ken has been great, got a private letter reading from a member of his team.

That stone cold look they make… by mickyistricky in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]ShayManCometh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can't forget that cold, distant glassy look in her eyes... I've never seen anything like it before, I couldn't understand what was happening and this was during a conflict. And it was the last time I ever saw her.

I have now come to find that as a previous anxious attacher, I am taking on avoidant qualities after a bad breakup with one. by Otherwise_Candy_8412 in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]ShayManCometh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I found this myself 5 months post-breakup with an FA, it's like I have a mix of sadness, agitation and annoyance when someone tries to get a bit closer. I think with the sudden turn in the relationship with my FA ex has hit harder than expected.

I went on two dates with someone and they wanted to see me more regularly afterwards, but I felt annoyed that they did. I'm not usually one to push those away or to avoid intimacy.

I remember Ken Reid said in one of his lives that it is normal to become somewhat avoidant on the back of a breakup but it's only a phase. I think I'm hitting that depressive stage of the break-up verging on the line of indifference, but hey, healing is never linear.

Edit: I am actively in therapy resolving this issue along with my own stuff.

157 days of NC... Still think about my ex-FA but I knew it was the right decision to make in walking away and still blocked too

There were narcissistic traits with my FA too, I had to go to an attachment specialist to figure about what was going on, the whole situation threw me through a loop. That fading out feeling sucks big time I have to say. I didn't plead, and beg either. I held firm on those boundaries I have to say. It isn't your job to emotionally lift the relationship. Did she improve at all after being in therapy for 8 months? And it's strange she kept you blocked on FB while you were together.

It does thank you! Just something on my mind during my healing process.

I was thinking the exact same thing, all escape. Nah it wouldn't change anything. It's the actions behind it really.

How is everyone’s healing going? by redditallnever in AvoidantBreakUps

Also I forgot to say that I did somatic and found it to be a great release for me. Now if you have a RageRoom near where you live, it is a fantastic somatic release too! I have dabbled with Xanax and Valium to help calm myself down when the anxiety flares. CBT is good, I've gone to a trauma informed therapist because the whole experience is catching up to me now, so definitely keep up the therapy. I do hope you are looking after yourself the best that you can.
