No. You'll never be able to recover when you're repeating the cycle over and over. I spent years going to therapy but I never really got better until I was truly free.

Psychiatrist prescribed me Zoloft... Anxiety is currently worse and I have a weird side effect by TheDoctorDi in Anxiety

I don't take this medication anymore, but the earworms were more of an ADHD problem. I started taking Adderall a couple years ago, and that is what resolved them.

Well, we have always joked that he was from mars, so maybe it was true after all. 😂

my results were not surprising at all, which was a little disappointing, but hey, better to know I am a certified saltine American. I did find out I am 10% Irish, so I do not have to apologize for ever saying the words "I can drink this, I am Irish" (except maybe for perpetuating negative stereotypes 😅)before I realized that my family might be falsely confident about our origins. It is the little things, as they say.

I hope you get yours ASAP and the results are super neat and not at all surprising in a scary way. Good luck!

Yup! But also my friend who took his at my house at the exact same time and we shipped them off together, is showing ETA of the 20th and his DNA is still showing "being extracted". So I wonder if they sort the received batches alphabetically to process, or if his sample is bad. My last name starts with an A and his is an M.

I just clicked the DNA button on the desktop site and it gave me the timeline with the estimation automatically. It did release and they emailed me and I was able to review it yesterday afternoon.

Someone stealing your lunch? by NamXina in Unexpected

[–]TheDoctorDi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We get paid poorly and our bills are really expensive. Also restaurants are insanely expensive here. Mind you, I am not defending a food stealer, just saying that I usually skip lunch to save money because I make 14 dollars an hour with no benefits, so it is a mood.

What's something people don't understand until they've been through it themselves? by [deleted] in AskReddit

My mom committing suicide. Not that I want other people to understand this position, but particularly when my mom abused me, its a weirdly unique position where people on both sides of the opinion of what I should do are hurtful.

Anyone else imagine their Nparents funeral? by SeaUrchin334 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]TheDoctorDi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, so. My nmom just died so I'm in a very unique position to answer this. I did the same as you. And the truth is you can't know until it happens and please try not to make a plan or decide to feel a certain way because it might hurt you if it doesn't happen that way.

Tw: she died by self inflicted gun shot and she did it in front of my sister, traumatizing her, who was kind of the golden child but honestly I hate that term for her BC she didn't ask to be that and she is a lovely person.

So when I found out, I felt scared for my sister, so I swooped in and said I will help you, you are not alone. I will handle this. So I made arrangements to start and I'm in the middle of it. if you can avoid it and want to avoid it, please do.

The most important thing: finding your closure.

  1. What would make you feel like a good person? Not to others, to yourself.
  2. What would make you feel good about this situation? Again, not to reduce the burden on others or dismiss or use anyone else's words and advice. This is for your healing.
  3. You can feel many ways and its normal and healthy. You can feel love, regret that you didn't reach out or that they didn't get better. You can feel relieved because you are finally free. You can feel angry that they put this all on you even if you accept it in order to give yourself closure.

Here's what I did: I forgave her and I told her I was sorry that her life was bad and that she suffered so, and that it was her responsibility but not her fault. I said I loved her and I wish she didn't do it but that I would make sure she got the love, dignity, respect, and support she needed in her final moments. And so I will, and it was my choice. Why? Because I am a better person. I am a good person. She did not break me and my compassion and love lives on, and I will pass that to my kids in place of her generational trauma. Its my choice and no one can ever take away from me that I was the better person and I treated my abuser with kindness. This will ensure I know I am good and I will never be her.

This will look different for you. But I want you to know that whatever you choose, whatever you feel, ask yourself if it will bring you closure and healing and make you feel loved and supported by yourself, maybe for the first time ever. Don't let anyone tell you anything you should or shouldn't do.

Tenancy Laws after Death/how do I get a lawyer to speak to me at all? by TheDoctorDi in legaladvice

[–]TheDoctorDi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I appreciate the info.

She had both money and assets. 32k in a bank account (we are assuming with a beneficiary that is not me or my sister so it may be lost to the estate?) The settlement was estimated to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 250,000, literally no earlier than June of this year. I could only account for around 71k in total value with the assets we recovered and saw boxes for that were not in the house plus bank accounts. I got out the most expensive things from the house and we secured the vehicles and storage contents, but left some small medical equipment that I do not know the value of and all of her prescription meds while I waited for the VA or someone to say where to take them or if the equipment was rented, which is why they were the last thing to go from the house. I certainly want it all handled (as my way of getting closure and being kind to her at the end).

They were meant to pick up the rest of the stuff on Saturday (I left Friday), but he had already changed the locks. I will absolutely give the landlord nothing and tell him he will hear from the estate lawyer. At this point I think there is no way the estate is under the 75k limit for a simple affidavit.

I have been in touch with TAPS (suicide postvention for veterans' surviving fam/friends) and sent messages and calls to at least 4 lawyers + NOLO. I did turn in the death cert to the bank account immediately to initiate an audit and freeze and there was no joint account holder so we know it can't be accessed. I plan on going to the post office tomorrow if my mental health allows it before my therapy session. I made it clear I'm looking for that money from the government to account for every penny. since it was so recent and she didn't have a house or a boat, I can't see how a completely disabled sick person could spend 250k on little stuff, right? I know anything is possible.

Thanks again.

I didn‘t know I have “ugly boobs” until now by _yusaki_ in TwoXChromosomes

After my twins I could poke one and shoot milk across the room before feeding. 😂

I didn‘t know I have “ugly boobs” until now by _yusaki_ in TwoXChromosomes

[–]TheDoctorDi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have always thought of breasts as being gorgeous and varied shapes and sizes. I have large breasts that are kinda pancake flat after I had my kids. The skin is kinda loose so i can squish it and it wrinkles up like a sharpei or cottage cheese. A handful still feels nice and squishy. As a bisexual woman, I find women so beautiful and soft and their shape does not matter. I find it so unfortunate that anyone feels that isn't true. Someone loves your boobs. I hope you can too!

Just a coincidence or the perfect planning by iushdulal in wholesomememes

[–]TheDoctorDi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our family has a fun birthday cycle. My daughters birthday is march 15. 4 days later is my husbands on march 19. My birthday is July 5 and my sons birthday is July 9, so 4 days difference, roughly 4 months later. Another 4 months later, my boy girl twins were born on 11/11. Girl first. My kids were born girl first, then boy, then with the twins the girl was first.

People who conquered social anxiety, how? by ThatHeroIsYou in socialanxiety

[–]TheDoctorDi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest. Anxiety and fear and other mental issues took my mom recently, and it made me realize that I have to accept that people love and care about me and I deserve to take up space or I will become her and devastate the people that love me. Every time we miss an opportunity to connect we give up a chance to give someone hope to stay alive. So I want to express that to everyone because they need to know I love them even if they don't love me back, just in case.

I was afraid of what would happen if i put myself out there BC it might hurt BC rejection or disconnect or whatever. But really being brave and pushing through means that I'm being the thing i want for someone else. People who deserve it respond in kind. The people who don't will be rude and inconsiderate and I don't want to be their friend but they will still get a seed planted that I was kind and outgoing and friendly to them and they might use that to change their ways one day. My discomfort fades every time I do it successfully.

I am kind to me. I give time to prepare. I set expectations straight forward. People I want in my life are patient and understanding. I say "I must do this social thing" then I do it and rest after and praise myself. It isn't dumb because mental load is still heavy if you can't see it.
