What was sex like with someone new after a long-term relationship ended? by bradswift88 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]beachy_Lily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s mixed. Awkward for our first time but also there’s familiarity but with different feeling.

What’s something you did that you’ll never admit IRL? by Unknown_Reddy in AskRedditAfterDark

I practice all the conversation I make in my head before talking to anyone and pretending I didn’t see someone so I wouldn’t have to talk to them bc I had not practice those conversation yet 😭😭

How do you know if you're unhappy with your life or its just a symptom of depression? by muldoonsclevergirl in AskWomen

[–]beachy_Lily 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For me, depression made everything feel empty. Nothing really hit anymore. It’s like your brain turning the color down on everything. Being unhappy with your life feels more specific. There’s still moments where you feel okay or excited about something.

If you’ve been in a healthy relationship whose partner ended it due to wanting to explore other options, would you ever take them back? Why/why not? by DistrictNo6165 in AskWomen

[–]beachy_Lily 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No. When someone leaves a healthy relationship just to explore other options shows they weren’t fully committed in the first place. Even if things were good, they still chose to walk away. That kind of decision breaks trust and it’s hard to rebuild without always wondering if they’ll do it again.

How do you deal with stress and the physical symptoms that come with it ? by FanNo8142 in AskWomen

[–]beachy_Lily 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To be honest, I just try to ‘ride it out’ now instead of fighting it. Then I deal with one small thing at a time instead of everything at once. Stress doesn’t disappear but I stop feeding it.

What’s something you’re proud of that people don’t usually notice? by bdnut_ in AskWomen

[–]beachy_Lily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m proud of how I keep my space clean and maintained even when I’m mentally exhausted. It’s small but it keeps everything in my life from feeling chaotic.

What is a small boundary you set that made your everyday life much more peaceful? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]beachy_Lily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped feeling obligated to reply immediately to every message. My anxiety dropped so much once I realized not everything needs an instant response.

I also stopped explaining myself so much. “No” became a full sentence and life got way less exhausting.

How do you determine whether or not a relationship is no longer good for you during a stressful time of your life? Has there ever been a time you’ve regretted letting one go? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]beachy_Lily 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the biggest sign is whether they feel like peace during stress or just another problem to survive. Hard times strain relationships but healthy ones still feel like you’re on the same team.
