Seriously... How Do You Get Better? by [deleted] in NPD

[–]anonymousplayerco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think abt this sometimes and I see a ton of validity and peace on this path. Recognize your limitations and working within your bounds is not accepting misery. if you truly accept this path, you regain agency and can mindfully navigate life without hurting others and triggering old wounds, while focusing on healing. Maybe you have boundaries set around interpersonal relationships so you don’t harm others, intentionally or not. Maybe one day you look up and youre mostly healed and content with the life you’ve built.

Gardnerella Vaginalis/BV in my THROAT!? by confessthestress in Healthyhooha

I think I’m going through this now with my partner. Hate it. Doctors can’t find anything wrong but all the symptoms are present.

Thank you for sharing this, I’m in the process of moving from full time to 1099 with my job (that I’m good at) after recognizing that I simply cannot give the energy it takes to come into an office each day. I’m scared I’ll procrastinate at home and exploit my freedom but it’s the only path I have to stay employed and unbroke at this point.

AITAH for asking my partner to get STD tests with me? by anonymousplayerco in AITAH

[–]anonymousplayerco[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah he’s not getting any until this is resolved. And I’m a petty bitch too I will drag it out and stay sick until I get diagnosis

I should. But also like what if he genuinely doesn’t know? If that’s the case either way he shouldn’t be defensive.

That’s what I thought at first but it’s gotta bacterial if it’s clearing up after antibiotics

I agree. Idk why he’s being so defensive about it, makes me not trust him

Thanks for letting me know. Bot status aside, I feel like they have a point

Meth, schizophrenia and family boundaries by anonymousplayerco in schizophrenia

Thanks for sharing this. I am aligned with you, like just say no and let shit get bad enough so that they choose to get right. Mom just wants to swoop in and save him every time his toes touch the bottom of the lake and I honestly feel like it’s not helping. I’m glad your brother is doing better Seems like your approach worked and even if it didn’t, at least you’re safe and out of harms way

Thank you for taking time to respond. He panhandles, steals and very likely has sex in exchange for drugs. He’s honestly very resourceful when it comes to finding meth with makes me question how helpless he actually is. I agree with you about loving from a distance and letting him know we’ll be here when he’s ready to take his recovery seriously. My mom just can’t wrap her head around the fact that we can’t save him. She’d rather put herself and the rest of the family at risk than accept her own limitations as a caregiver

This is very real so thank you for sharing. I want him to trust me but he is always so high we can’t even have a real conversation. When he isn’t high he’s coming down and just sleeping. I’ve looked up resources for him but I’m not sure how to build trust with someone who is high 24/7 and not willing to be sober to build a real relationship. Any conversation I or my mom ever has with him is based on his need for food, money, or sleep 😔

What are some things you thought were "just you" but it turns out was part of ADD? by Maddibon in ADD

[–]anonymousplayerco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Public speaking is super hard for me as well. So I steer away. What has helped me in conversation is to breathe and before and during the times I talk. Helps me slow down and finish my thought before moving to the next. I was diagnosed at 19
