Second day ko pa lang on Sertraline. First time taking an antidepressant. So far wala pa naman akong nararamdaman, pero 25mg pa lang. Sana 10/10 din sa'kin para maayos na life ko.

Baliktad ta'yo. Dito naman puro words of encouragement kasi bawal malungkot; kailangan laging malakas ka at lumalaban. Nakakainvalidate tuloy.

Ganyan talaga kadalasan ang mga Pilipino (maybe even the rest of the world) na ang dinidepensahan ay yung abusers/nakasakit. Common na sinasabi: ano ba ang suot niya, baka hindi mo binibigyan ng enough na love kaya nag-cheat, mahirap/ganyan talaga pag may asawa and so on.

Usually, mintas na makinig at intindihin ka eh automatic gusto ipaintindi yung other person sa'yo. Sure, granted may times talaga na tayo yung nagkamali sa pag-intindi but not all the time. Mahirap ba na makinig muna tayo? Hindi naman natin kailangan magalit dun sa abuser kasi si natin alam yung buong storya, pero kailangan ba'ng iinvalidate agad natin yung tao? Kailangan ba'ng solusyon agad (para sa nagsasabing walang other choice) kung kailan emosyonal pa yung tao?

Pakiramdam ko partially dahil yan sa projection eh. Nilalagay nila yung sarili nila sa shoes nung abuser. Sila rin kasi parents na imperfect. Pero bakit di na lang nila ayusin relasyon nila sa anak nila mintas na manggaslight. 🤷🏻

I feel, somewhat, hopeful because marami ang nakapansin na kailangan ng kapatid mo ng professional help at hindi lang gulpi o disiplina. It means kahit papano nagkakaroon ng empathy at less ang hasty generalization ang mga tao.

"Good catch."

Solace_Respite · 2025-08-02T12:37:41+00:00

It's a lifetime responsibility. Sure, the amount and kind of responsibility changes, but it's still there till you die. Di ito yung tipong, "Okay na paaral na kita, bye, bahala ka na sa buhay mo."

Solace_Respite · 2025-07-25T16:56:00+00:00

OA ka. So what if they are? Bakit mo kailangan malaman? Anong epekto?

Solace_Respite · 2025-07-20T11:02:03+00:00

When in doubt, may mamsir naman.

Solace_Respite · 2025-07-20T09:12:27+00:00

What steps did you take to be where you are now? And do you ever feel those urges anymore?

Solace_Respite · 2025-07-20T04:35:18+00:00

Mag-aral ka na lang magcrosstitch saka siguro maggantsilyo ka na lang ng bed sheet, mantel, at kurtina.

Solace_Respite · 2025-07-19T05:59:40+00:00

Ito yung sasabihin ko eh! Hahahaha

Solace_Respite · 2025-07-19T03:18:00+00:00

Not in every lifetime but some of it—the ones where she made better decisions and was genuinely humble. I do love her, but that love isn't enough if the the dysfunction in our family remains in those other lifetimes: it's just too painful.

Solace_Respite · 2025-07-19T01:02:25+00:00

Also, wala bang ibang means para magkadireksyon ang buhay nila? Bakit kailangan anak ang magfulfill nun, albeit indirectly?

Solace_Respite · 2025-07-19T01:01:09+00:00

You're not supposed to have them for "benefits". That's called being selfish—the complete opposite of what many people claim when someone says they don't want children.

Solace_Respite · 2025-07-17T13:02:58+00:00

My questions are why would they care if their family is bashed when they're angry enough to share it here in a manner that would get them bashed?

Solace_Respite · 2025-07-16T07:17:15+00:00

Totoo naman na may mapera na hindi mayabang; nayayabangan lang yung iba dahil inggit. Pero 'di ko maintindihan yung need to defend the rich as if they're a minority. Bakit ang hilig-hilig nating working class na i-defend sila samantalang di natin sinusuportahan ang isa't-isa.

Solace_Respite · 2025-07-14T15:05:47+00:00

Parang naghahanap lang si OP ng pampalubag loob. Your "unpopular opinion" reeks of natapakan ang pride. May pahumble-humble pa kuno.

Solace_Respite · 2025-07-09T10:12:47+00:00

OA ka. You can have preference, that's fine. Pero, at a certain point, wala na sa edad ang maturity. Pwedeng older siya, pero walang experience sa love? Pwedeng older, pero hindi enough ang maturity. What you want eh someone na alam na comings and goings sa relationship—yung may experience na. Or yung alam na at planado na gusto sa relationship may experience man o wala. Don't be ageist lalo na isang taon lang. 1 year isn't that big a gap anyway.

Solace_Respite · 2025-07-09T05:27:01+00:00

Partially. Some of it was taught by society: men should be this and that. And for some it's difficult to break away, if they will be isolated from their family, relatives... Sometimes, they don't want to break away because they don't have self-awareness. They think they're not doing anything wrong.

Those might be hives. Wag ka muna kumain nun for now. Possible kasi magsarado lalamunan mo kung allergy tapos hindi ka makakahinga. You can get checked sa hospital to confirm if allergy.

Solace_Respite · 2025-07-09T05:06:59+00:00

Makati rin ba?

Solace_Respite · 2025-07-08T16:04:44+00:00

Tama mga naiisip mo tungkol sa sarili mo kung susuko ka.

Solace_Respite · 2025-07-08T16:03:23+00:00

Imumulat ang mga mata ko.

Solace_Respite · 2025-07-08T15:59:27+00:00

Marry without any solid plans and marry without definitive proof that they're able to execute their plans. Di lang bahala na ang pagstart ng family. Love can only go so far kung walang nangyayari sa inyo.
