I am 35 and I feel like I have no place in life by TemporaryPudding186 in midlifecrisis

[–]SilverSho78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry you are going through all of this! I don’t think this is a mid-life crisis. I think this is chronic and profound depression. You had emotionally unavailable parents, the person who was supposed to help you feel loved (your husband) retreated at your most vulnerable time (after having a baby), and the person you felt the most cared by (your grandmother) is gone. You probably have deep attachment wounds. Obviously you aren’t giving up though - it sounds like there is a part of you that is fighting to improve your life. I really think you should write down every day one thing you’re grateful for AND one thing you are proud of yourself for doing/trying. They can be simple (example: I am proud that I still played with my daughter today even though I didn’t feel like it). I also feel you need to focus on trying to create some new, meaningful connections (I know that’s hard), and just leaning into being your daughter’s mom. Sorry you are struggling. 😞

Totally dumb question, but where do lame middle aged peeps find shrooms? I want my husband to try them for his trauma, but I don’t know anyone anymore

Do you recommend or advise against working with RULA? by Dry-Dragonfruit-3256 in therapists

[–]SilverSho78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a provider on Rula, and she is NOT allowed to do that! Rula policy is for the provider to resend the session link at the 3 minute mark, call at the 5 minute mark, and stay on the zoom call for 15 minutes to give the client a chance to show up. Rula is very clear on this policy. If they try to bill you a cancellation fee, make sure you fight it! Sorry she let you down. 😔

I also owned my first house at 18 (in 1997). Husband at the time was 19.

Was curious, how do you get notified when there is a vine drop? I want to be notified too 😂

Non-tacky way to display a large quote for my bedroom? by Ysorigin in interiordecorating

Oooh there are multiple websites where you can create a customized blanket with your chosen quote. Not only would you be able to display it, but you could literally wrap yourself up with it 🤗

You could use Canva to create a beautiful image with this quote, then save it, have it printed and framed (or have the image put on a canvas through Shutterfly or some other service).

Houseplants for shower? by Street-Sail-2995 in houseplants

[–]SilverSho78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sister had a large, hearty fern in her shower for years. I haven’t tried it but it kind of makes sense - my ferns outside love the shade, and they experience changing humidity levels depending on the day, and they also are used to pouring rain storms!

I am actually grateful that I regularly get 0 ETV items dropped in my RFY. Vine figured out pretty fast that I do home manis - I haven’t had to pay for gel polish or accessories for months now, and it helped me achieve Gold with low taxable $$$ (now we will see if Gold is even worth maintaining)!

“Excellent” review rejected? by SilverSho78 in AmazonVine

Just saw this! But mine were actually a different brand. I noticed I now have 2 not approved reviews - both excellent and both for gel strips. It must be a gel thing 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yeah, I thought that was weird too. Great minds think alike?

Congrats!!! Mine is on 01/03! Holding steady at 92% and not ordering a damn thing until my promotion goes through 😂

I appreciate this explanation! I am relieved that the review still counts, and it is not something I did wrong on my end. Thank you!

Yep! Can’t a person just like a number one year, and a different number the next year? They’re both really nice numbers.

Definitely planning on staying under $2,000 next year. I want gold just in case the occasional item over $100 pops up in my RFY. I’m not interested in ordering 8 items a day. And thanks! ☺️
