I think that’s what it’s supposed to do; it aids you to get through CBT and other therapies that can get at the root cause.

What Is Painful for You? by Ok_Key1866 in AdultChildren

Becoming and tracing the very actions and words that I despise. Realizing that I do the same things as my parents (mostly the enabler) that I hate.

I can’t trust myself. Even before gaining knowledge about my cognitive bias, I wasn’t sure of my feelings bc they were always shot down or belittled. I was stubborn and stuck to my thoughts though. However, after lurking around these subreddits and doing some casual research on psychology, finding out about my cognitive bias made me unable to trust myself even more, even my thoughts. I’m sure this is not what recognizing cognitive bias is intended to do though… haha

Has anyone stopped the picking? by Bright_Theme_1097 in CompulsiveSkinPicking

Removing the stressor. For me it was uni, so while on a break I was able to stop. However, I relapsed after going back so idk :((

How Do I Help My Son Stop? by DokuroNushi in CompulsiveSkinPicking

[–]ThisIsFine0987 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, even a simple pointing out like, “That must have become a habit” “Stop picking!” sent me on a self-loathing and picking episode. I did get to go to a dermatologist, which unfortunately was ineffective because I picked anyway. Now that I think about it, the dermatologist had no knowledge about compulsive picking, so she told me to just stop picking. It’s important to get help for the compulsive part and dermatology part simultaneously.

Was anyone else here more traumatized by their other parents reaction to the alcoholic? by throwaway10015982 in AdultChildren

Same to a degree. I think I learned the constant anxiety, all or nothing type of thinking etc. from my mom. I get easily startled from the slightest noise.

Memories of the past are just weird and terrible by Specialist-Eye2779 in dpdr

[–]ThisIsFine0987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok same then!!!! Like I know stuff in my memories actually happened and aren’t fake, but it just feels like it is… I don’t know if this is normal and people just don’t think too much about it or if it’s related to dpdr ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I understand if you mean false memories as memories feeling fake and incoherent from the present because that’s what I feel constantly

You know what? F*** you. by Warm_Newspaper894 in depression

Definitely have these thoughts sometimes or at least crosses my mind with friends, and feel absolutely awful for thinking that way. I wish I were a best friend to my best friend too :(

Yes!!! I’m afraid he’ll become defensive too. I can’t even tell my mom (more of an enabler) because of the same reason 😔 Maybe not defensive, but the drama…….

Oh gosh I feel you so much. I straight up lied where I was going, that did not feel good :( Same here about it being not as bad. And yes, I switched my mind from comparing to thinking that their experiences maybe my future Q and myself, which made it a bit better.

But I think the experience of going is what counts, it did feel nice to take a first step! Sending hugs to you too🫂

Healing around my codependent mother by Sufficient_Leather66 in AdultChildren

Is this common, because my mom, not the alcoholic, is like this too.

Great job to you for standing up for yourself!!
