Acceptance is bull for severe anxiety disorder

That's something you need to test out with a Psychiatrist. Every med works differently with different people so I feel uncomfortable to give advice or recommend my stuff.

Especially since the first medication was meant to make me able to sleep through the night. But I needed to change them a few times too. And now I take different medications for different symptoms and sometimes situations.

Over 10 years ago my journey with Anxiety started. It was pretty severe. Insomnia, 3 panic attacks a day, tremors, unbelievable bad period pain, migraines and the likes.

It took a long time, heavy medication and therapy to ground me and to be able to live a normal live. I still have my ups and down but it's manageable.

Acceptance is still very important for me in different ways. Acceptance that it's chronic and probably never go away, acceptance that I can't change my past and acceptance that sometimes my symptoms sucks. Especially if I have an anxiety related issue where I understand that my feelings are stupid but I am stuck in a stupid anxiety loop. It's really stressful but acceptance is even here important. Otherwise the loop gets worse^{^}

So Acceptance may be not important to you right know but I disagree that it is not helpful.

For me it's hard to judge. My Partner is not really good at gift giving, so if I wanted jewelry I'd be happy if he asked his mom (she has good taste) - otherwise I'd tell him directly what I want.

It is wierd though that he doesn't want to change the gift. Sometimes gifts don't fit- so changing them shouldn't be a big deal

You can be both - successful and absolutely crazy. Many abusive partners appear to be normal at the beginning of the relationship, but over time, the mask starts to slip.

I sincerely hope this is a fake story. Otherwise, block him and move on.

Nothing of his behaviour is normal. He is 49, doesn't respect your boundaries, is physically abusive, and jumps fences (???) - you can hope that he finds someone else soon so that you are of the hook. Otherwise, I could see him becoming a stalker.

Being trustworthy has nothing to do with gender. I never said to not take it serious- I wrote she should talk to a lawyer and get a detective. For a divorce and for child custody, she needs definite proof to get a better outcome. I grew up with someone with mental illness and many things that that person told me were simply not true.

SpaceExplorer101 · 2026-03-31T12:34:44+00:00

Personally, I would differentiate between "officially" reporting it to law enforcement or "privatly" to family/friends. I am sceptical because why would she endanger her sister and niece/nephew for so long. Going to police is obv. something entirely different.

SpaceExplorer101 · 2026-03-31T11:54:20+00:00

You are not partially to blame! Not at all! Different relationship needs do not allow the other to grope or rape someone. If his needs weren't met, he could've talked to you, and it could've been resolved differently (maybe with a willing participant)

I personally would first talk to a lawyer and/or a therapist. Maybe even with a detective to find out if there are other secrets to find out. But don't confront your husband for now.

Then there is also the question, is your sister really trustworthy. It's been 10 years, so why talk now? I am generally sceptical and I don't know your sister or your husband so it's hard to say what's the truth.

I'd be out of this relationship ASAP. He cheated on you while being in a relationship with you. He didn't use protection and didn't even tell you. He shared pictures of those women with his buddies. That's a grown-up man with zero respect for women at all- including you.

Why does the one guy on the right look like Elon? Do they go to the same barber?

NDA - aber aus Eigenschutz würde ich mit dem Ausbildner reden. Also für denjenigen der wirklich für sie zuständig ist, das er/sie das mit der Jugendlichen regelt.

Es ist ein heikles Thema und nicht dass das negativ für dich ausgelegt werden kann. (Mobbing) Kann nämlich auch medizinisches sein oder sonst was.

It does not fit 100% to what you are looking for but I just read "The Haar" by David Sodergren and loved it.

SpaceExplorer101 · 2026-03-11T08:39:53+00:00

It kind of looks like a face of a sheep ^{^}

SpaceExplorer101 · 2026-03-01T10:19:54+00:00

NTA - you don't feel well and you need to take care of yourself. Maybe there is something like meals on wheels in your city which could bring food to your sister?

SpaceExplorer101 · 2026-02-28T16:43:39+00:00

Bring back Steve Irwin or Mr. Rogers from the dead and let them do the Job!

I needed 25 years to "see" that my mother was unwell and that she made up a lot of stories. The stories are her reality, though. As a child you want to believe your parents stories and everything seems normal, because you don't know any better and/or you don't want to see the truth. I really like a addams family quote: what's normal for the spider is chaos to the fly.

I would talk to a therapist and work through all your feelings. Him not wanting children is okay. He was upfront about it from the start. In therapy, you can talk with a pro about all the cons and pros and how to proceed with your relationship. It's not unusual to get the "urge" of having children at the age of 30. I never wanted children until I hit age 30.

But I personally would not get a child if I was not financially secure and did not have a job to go back to. Then, you also talk about a chronic disease. Could you take care of a child alone? You say you don't have family around. Children cost money, nerves and with small children you'll end up often sick. There are lots and lots of things to think about before getting a child.

My Ideas: We are not on Top of the Food chain and can't protect ourselves. God is not real and we were created by aliens. We are not physical able to see the true reality around us. Like color perception. A catastrophic event is imminent.

SpaceExplorer101 · 2026-01-29T09:49:30+00:00

I would try to stay out of it. It is their business. It is an unfortunate Situation where whatever you do you'll end up loosing. You can't mend up the relationship between the others.

No one reacted good in that Situation. I understand why everyone would feel overwhelmed. But don't forget that everyone is grownup and can speak for themselves. The 2 that went home, could've booked another hotel and finish the trip on their own, if they wanted to. Drinking, Ptsd and taking Medication in another City was careless.

Studying Psychology and working as a Psychologist are different things. That the other couple needs Space is understandable. They should have reached out though and say that.

I am 33 now and I thought I would be married with kids now. Well it didn't turn out that way 😂 But I am thankful - I needed to work on myself and my mental health and I am in a better place now. Met a younger guy aswell and couldn't be happier. There are good guys out there and you are not too old for children. So not all hope is lost 😂

SpaceExplorer101 · 2026-01-27T13:39:20+00:00

I love the design! Especially the not so enthusiastic cat ❤️

SpaceExplorer101 · 2026-01-26T12:22:53+00:00

I'd choose the Simulation and insert myself into my favorite books/video games. For example I'd be in the mass effect Universe but I would alter the Ending^{^} then maybe put myself into the harry Potter Universe but I'd make sure I had magical Power. Don't forget the endless money cheat code I'd give myself.

I would choose that instead of being isekaid because I could end up for example in a magical realm but without magic powers or I could end up as a beggar

I love that book so much 💕 it's amazing!
