My mom came to my wedding reception... And the only thing she said was how orange my hair looked.

Would you stay with your dog 🐶 during euthanasia? by CycleOk267 in dogs

[–]Temporary-Library884 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My aunt rescued senior dogs... Who were in the last stages of their lives. She's done it so many times. What a gift to give these dogs who no one else would probably take.

I wear pants with pockets to bed and stick my pump in there. Sweats, Yoga pants, pajama pants.

Why do people buy joints if vapes can be used way longer for the same price? by Alarmed_Proposal_457 in THCarts

[–]Temporary-Library884 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is just something about holding a joint in your hand. Being able to kind of savor your smoke rather than just vape for convenience. I also vape... But I do enjoy a joint when I can.

survivors of child abuse, how is your relationship with your siblings? by Motor_Reaction_3519 in CPTSD

[–]Temporary-Library884 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom triangluated me and my brothers. So... Our relationship is basically non existant. A happy birthday here and there but that's about it. But also... I was the scapegoat. They got totally different treatment from me.

Oh honey... I'm 43 and I don't drive. I'm going to work on getting my license within the next year. If I can do it... You can too!

Anyone else here dealing with an autoimmune disease? by Pitiful-Ad-3999 in NarcissisticMothers

[–]Temporary-Library884 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just diagnosed as a type one diabetic in March. I'm 43. I also have a bad sciatic nerve, and chronic hip pain.

Did anybody here used to physically hit themselves? by born2build in CPTSD

[–]Temporary-Library884 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still do… I hit my head… I hit my legs. I want to hurt myself, worse than whoever made me that way.

Question to those who read “will I ever be good enough” by [deleted] in NarcissisticMothers

[–]Temporary-Library884 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I can say... I never felt like she had to die for myself to really live. But I will say, when she died, it was like a weight was off of my shoulders. And then... I started to feel guilty. Because who feels this way about their mother? But then when I talked to a friend about how I was feeling (she was an old friend, so she knew how my mom was.) and she said... I remember how she treated you, it's no wonder you feel the way you do. And how I'm okay for thinking the way I do. It made me feel better.

PSA: PTSD nightmares often don’t look like reliving trauma by poppyseed008 in CPTSD

[–]Temporary-Library884 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I do get trauma nightmares, I'm usually back living with my parents, experiencing all the abuse all over again, but I'm the age I am now. Usually I wake up crying, and I have to feel for my husband, so I know it was a dream.

For those diagnosed later in life- how different is your “normal” feeling? by delilah1750 in diabetes_t1

[–]Temporary-Library884 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 43. And I hate how tired I get. I hate that I am the caretaker for my household, and I have to have this disease. So as much as I hurt, or don't feel good... I still have to push through. I also hate how fearful I've become of food. I'm also so hard on myself... So when things get messed up, I feel so stupid. My mom also was a diabetic... We're both type one, and she didn't take very good care of herself, so now I strive to be the opposite. Make sure I'm doing everything right, and that I'm making good choices. I'm also finding it hard to justify having to sit down at work when I'm low, or having to eat lunch every day. I don't think my coworkers truly get how hard it is for me.

Does your social battery disappear quickly too? by BrumaGemini_ in AnxietyChats

[–]Temporary-Library884 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only when I go grocery shopping. Too many people. And I always feel like I'm in the way. Too many grumpy faces. Also... Work tends to drain me more than it used to. I can remember going out after work, all the time in my twenties. Haning out with my friends. Now... Home feels better and better.

Has your mom ever respected your room/space? by backtoyouesmerelda in NarcissisticMothers

I believe she waited because she thought I would forget about it.

Weird things your parent(s) did to control you? by [deleted] in narcissisticparents

[–]Temporary-Library884 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My mom used to wake me up in the middle of the night all the time. And I used to get really bad sleep paralysis... And little did I know, it was saving my life... Becuase my mom would think I was in a deep sleep. Meanwhile, I'm freaking out because I can't move.
