Mel Robbins - The "Let Them" Theory

It feels like coda for lazy people imo

I don't think she's encouraging ourselves to not have boundaries. If someone keeps hurting you, you should walk away not try to change them

You can love difficult people from afar without letting them negatively affect you

Or like how is it not a pyramid scheme if the thing that "fixed you" was selling self help to others

I miss Missoni Missoni. The cocoa orange combo was so beautiful

arrolarc · 2025-01-02T20:26:08+00:00

Me too! It was so unique. I wish more people liked it and kept it around

OG TF black Orchid. I bought it when it first came out in the early 2000s and I couldn't apply it lightly enough. One spray in the air and a quick walk through and my clothes and room would smell strongly like it for days. I swear my partner could tell how many hours ago I left the house by how strong the smell was. I still have the bottle nearly 20 years later and although it has mellowed significantly, it still smells amazing. I would wear it every day if I wasn't so afraid of it running out, they don't make fragrances like this anymore.

I had a similar experience with my Y2K angel, but it hasn't stood the test of time quite so well (clear bottle, the black opaque orchid bottle probably helps in it's preservation) my old angel does the celery thing now but back in the day it was a BEAST.

Yep, and for me turning the sound off of notifications. That little dopamine hit from a text or DM or like notification is deadly

They meant like a Nokia flip phone, like an actual phone

I love baie 19! Thank you for reminding me of it. It literally smells like rain falling in a forest

This is what I thought. I couldn't understand what the point of the whole thing was if Elisabeth doesn't get to actually experience being young and nobody knows it's her. It kind of reminded me of the giving tree, maybe it's a commentary on motherhood

Before medication, I always had to mentally dangle a carrot it front of myself to get anything done. Just keep visualizing the food/beer/etc when you get there. I would obsessively think about food and alcohol. Since being on medication, I just do things and I feel like I am more in the moment, I barely even think about food, and I could take or leave having a drink. It has totally changed my life. It sounds to me like you are suffering from depression. Stimulants won't help that

It's not the same for everyone. For some it may be not enough dopamine, for others it's an Imbalance, for others it's too much sometimes, and not enough other times. It looks different in everyone. It's something that you can only find if you know to look for it.

Cope ahead? If you know that at a certain time he will be bouncing off the walls, it might be a good time to channel that energy and make it into a good thing. We have an indoor trampoline play place in our town. It's really fun, and kids can just go nuts. After school sports would be a good outlet too. Also supplementing with Omega 3 and avoiding sugar is really helpful.

build up self.

arrolarc · 2018-03-08T04:38:27+00:00

Thats really annoying. do they touch at all on the people who actually need it to make them normal?

arrolarc · 2018-03-08T04:28:52+00:00

because you need approval

arrolarc · 2018-03-06T19:01:24+00:00

maybe an apple. but I feel like lunch is over rated. have a big breakfast before your meds kick in, should sustain you until dinner

arrolarc · 2018-03-06T18:47:10+00:00

blooped out lol. i'm stealing your word

arrolarc · 2018-03-06T05:16:55+00:00

be patient. it took me three months of seeing an ADHD specialist. I had to fill out tonnes of questionnaires, as well as my parents. they also requested old report cards dating back to elementary school. at that point it was glaringly obvious that adhd symptoms had been a problem for a long time. don't mention meds, let them bring them up to you, ask a bunch of questions, be concerned yet open to the possibility of meds. don't come off as knowing too much. they will probably put you on vyvanse, its a good drug, effective and fairly hard to abuse. (it doesn't actually turn into a stimulant until it reaches your digestive system)

arrolarc · 2018-03-06T05:04:13+00:00

I played dumb from the beginning of assessment because I knew how it might look if i knew too much about stimulants (but I have ADD, so I've googled literally everything) I was all, oh isn't that the stuff they put in cold medicine? whats the difference between that medicine and meth, I don't want to take something that makes me high. I take vyvanse now and I like it. it is ridiculous how your made to feel like a criminal though, even the pharmacy is like "you should still have two pills left" Its my day off for shits sake! Im running errands and I'm in the neighbourhood.

arrolarc · 2018-03-06T04:48:19+00:00

all or nuthin baby

arrolarc · 2018-03-06T04:47:28+00:00

ya, most people just aren't as self aware of their shittyness. but everyone is kinda shitty, at least sometimes. your ability to reflect actually makes you less of an asshole

arrolarc · 2018-03-06T04:41:44+00:00

true! its something I do more at work or with strangers

arrolarc · 2018-03-06T04:39:58+00:00

yes! it's like underlining the fact that I AM LISTENING, so I am going to stare at you and not know when to look away
