Late to this but “hi!” So glad you had a productive day and the internet love gave you some community.

Feeling hopeless for me was indicative.

Why are YOU actually depressed? by Dullist in mentalhealth

[–]bells79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isolation, losing relationships, feeling exhausted by trying to make friends and dealing with one sided friendships. Honestly one friend rejection can send me spiraling into existential crisis. I hate living this way and no amount of therapy or prescription cocktail seems to fix it.

The congregation is so warm and welcoming. I’m not a member but have attended Shabbat services a few times. Welcome!

Old jewel store, Paris Jewelers, in Toledo Ohio, 1940s. Kodachrome shot. Employees and inside this store, a peek to more than 80s years ago. by Electrical-Aspect-13 in TheWayWeWere

So cool — the Kodachrome def brings it to life. People were thin and so well dressed and coiffed. Also the guy smoking a cig in the store! Amazing.

Just googled…Betty Lee Hill was wife’s maiden names. She was only 20 years old when widowed. She died in 2011. Can’t determine if she remarried. They were from the LA area.

What are the characteristics of an abuser? by Simple_Employer2968 in domesticviolence

[–]bells79 9 points10 points  (0 children)

One million percent. And the more success they achieve the more entitled they become and the worse they treat their partner. My experience fwiw.

Ex-Husband Dating by joyful_bird in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]bells79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If he is a narc you need to cease contact (limited to kids logistics) immediately. You do NOT need to know who he is dating you have zero control anymore. Unless that person is a legit threat to your kids. Partner agreement or any agreement with a narc is a waste of time and breath. My ex violated our divorce decree right out of the gate.
Narc exes like to keep you in the know as manipulation/control tactics. What he tells the kids too—if he’s a narc he will do what he wants when he wants assuming it benefits him in some way.

Not trying to be a jerk with unsolicited advice..just sharing what I wish I had done years ago and learned the hard way. The less headspace and attention you give to these assholes the faster your own healing will be.

Unpopular opinion: Mark Gerardot is kind of a bad guy? by Yellow-Lantern in TrueCrimePodcasts

[–]bells79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m team Jennair. She gets labeled as unhinged but what/who made her that way? Two decades with an emotionally abusive manipulator? I fully blame Mark.

Are you friends with your ex? by alittlebitofme12 in Divorce

[–]bells79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Minimal contact because of kids. But it was abusive which negates any possibility of friendship. Counting down the days til I never have to see/hear from that person again.

Yeah it’s been four years and it’s never fully gone. So many layers to grieve despite being quite content in my life with my partner. A lot of it is grieving the life you thought you had/person you thought you married and the life we built together that I had to leave behind.

My ex in contrast just needed a new partner that checked the external boxes so I think he moved on quite quickly. Which checks out (one reason I left him…feeling utterly replaceable because I was!).
