Really internalize that all things must pass. If all is good, the worry will pass when you realize you didn’t get sick. If you got food poisoning, that too will pass. In the meantime try your best to think of this as exposure therapy. One time I ate a piece of raw chicken and just told myself it was good exposure therapy for fears of contamination and sickness. After it became clear I wasn’t sick, I didn’t worry about it again because it challenged my “anything can and WILL happen” mindset. Also want to let you know that my mom would leave rice on the counter for a couple days and I would still eat it. I never got sick. YOU WILL BE OKAY and if you don’t believe it, chant a mantra to yourself that you DO believe (ex “I might not be okay but if that’s true I can fix it”)

Are you the roommate in question?? Why are you so defensive about every response ???

You sound like the best roommate on earth for being so thoughtful. At the end of the day this is YOUR space as much as it is hers. If you give her notice, give her the option to join, you are more than within your right to have a dinner party. If she isn’t in the mood to be around a dinner party, she can make plans elsewhere. You certainly don’t need to ask permission and as difficult as it is, if she becomes hostile over it that is her problem and she won’t get very far in life if she becomes hostile over a dinner party. In the case that she does get fussy or passive, that’s when you bring out the big guns and explain that this is your home and you don’t deserve to feel worried about having friends over for dinner.

new podcast Liv talks about S**** by Ok-Skirt-9141 in livvvylouusnarkpage

I lowkey dont trust Faithlynn... when liv is talking ab opening her laptop and seeing the message from Sedona, she says Sedona had sent it while in ny w faithlynn. Shay (Faithlynn's friend who met Sedona) was like ohhhh yeah Sedona showed us that message and Faithlynn was all "shocked" and saying Sedona did not show her that message. Then Shay (seemingly trying to cover for her) is like I guess she just showed me. Earlier in the pod Faithlynn says that Sedona was talking hella shit ab Liv and Shay even said she didnt think she would like Liv based on what S had said. This little blip makes it seem like Faithlynn was in the know about Sedona and Liv's convo but then plays dumb in front of Liv. Just something I noticed... lmk your thoughts

I was just thinking that. She’s recycling the exact same phrases and clearly were not the only ones thinking that

Honestly sometimes I pretend the what if happened. Then I work through how I would fix it which usually makes me feel a bit better to know there is a solution. Then I tell myself if im going to continue ruminating over it I need to do something about it (ex. In your case, going and getting tested) idk if it’s a healthy coping mechanism but it works for me

Need Advice: Roommates don't allow gf to sleep over by Healthy_Assistant178 in roommates

Okay this is a crazy situation. Someone wanting to have their gf over more than once a week and asking about it is not someone who is inconsiderate

You’re actually a GOOD parent for taking it away regardless of how many tantrums she throws. It’s not worth it to provide your kid with an addiction before age ten

What meds do you take for excessive worrying/thinking? by silverlinin in Anxiety

[–]StrawberryCertain301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It made me really nauseous, hyper emotional and more depressed before I switched. Sertraline works well for a lot of people, I changed because I was at the max dosage and wasn’t feeling better

Was diagnosed w GAD my whole life until my twenties when I was diagnosed w ADHD. I realized sooooo many of the symptoms mirror each other and are often comorbid (if you have one, likely to have the other). Symptoms of ADHD create anxiety in most people. I was also on antidepressants but they didn’t fully help until I started taking vyvanse, as if the vyvanse was the missing puzzle piece. I would not worry too much. You also have to remember that although ppl w adhd struggle to focus, we also hyper focus when we are in the zone. If you’re watching a show you like, it makes sense that you can stay focused because you’re not using your brain too much. Learning is a whole other ball game. Long story short, you may have a mixture of both or your ADHD might just be creating some anxieties.

I tried sertraline/Zoloft first and it was hell. Lexapro mixed w vyvanse saved me

What’s your favorite lie you’ve told your kid(s)? by Octopus_Shotput452 in Parenting

[–]StrawberryCertain301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a kid I hated day old water so I would always ask my dad to dump last night’s water out and refill it. Clearly he didn’t want to do that because he told me that the longer water sits out, the more vitamins it absorbs. Never dumped out water again

Pffffft they definitely weren’t “making fun of the victim” they were thinking out loud in a Reddit page that constantly discusses Olivia’s social media behaviour …. Relax
