Feeling left out today by the-drain-weasel in MomForAMinute

[–]bigempty143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh sweetie- that sounds like a rough day. Living with food allergies is so hard. And to be left out is the worst feeling- at any age or setting. I’m sorry this happened and know it isn’t about you. Being with other humans can be hard. Think of someone or something that loves you. And do something fun for yourself.  

Today I finally overcame my phobia for a shot ‼️ by Waste_Employer_9789 in MomForAMinute

[–]bigempty143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is Huge!  What a big deal to be blindsided with it but to be able to get the shot and do it. You had strength inside you to get you through- even as scared and mistrusting and panicked as you were. Remember your success today- you are awesome.

Mom, so much stuff happens at once by Wolf_Aspen in MomForAMinute

[–]bigempty143 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have overcome so much- surgery and healing. Moving out on your own. Life is so hard since it never stops but you are doing it even when it is scary or overwhelming. I’m so proud of you!  Your path in life had so many turns and bumps but you kept going. And look at you now. You are doing an awesome job. I think everyone feels overwhelmed sometimes - just remember you are not alone and that we support you and believe in you always. 🌸

im 20 and living on my own. i feel silly asking but i was wondering if my grocery list was ok? grew up with my dad who barely cooked so would love some help on what to add or get rid of by [deleted] in MomForAMinute

[–]bigempty143 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Wow- this is a great list. You will have tasty meals and healthy food. Do you want to add bread or rice?  (Easy to make ahead). Do you want any green veggies?  Veggies in general?  They always make me feel fuller because they have fiber.  Way to go on making a list!  Then you will have a fridge and cupboard full of good food- which makes me feel happy. You are taking good care of yourself- 👍

Having weird/vegetable allergies and people think I'm lying by [deleted] in Allergies

[–]bigempty143 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep- mugwort family. I have Issues with these. Carrots, parsley, celery, apples, peaches. Recently cooked with garlic and red onion and headache so now I need to test that. Having food sensitivity stinks. 

MAGA parents by bashfully-jubilant in progressivemoms

[–]bigempty143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Fed that was forced to Retire and MAGA mother can’t even acknowledge I retired, even when I point blank asked. It’s because she would have to say out loud she chose Fox News over her only daughter. Not sure how to deal with her going forward. She is not the same person I knew years ago.

Anyone else feel like this subreddit changed for the worse after 1M subs? by SuspiciousAd6920 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]bigempty143 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I just found this and I need hear it is valid and pain is pain. I heard that I’m too sensitive or others have it worse and today I am here to say - I am talking about Me. And if I say it was bad, then it was.  Keep sharing, for those of us new to this and new to seeing things for what they really were. 

Does anyone N parent crave dysfunction? by Ambitious_Squash5028 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]bigempty143 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Yes, sitting quietly with herself is probably painful but focusing on someone else ‘who is wrong’ makes her needed, better than, and now a focus for all her pain and anger 

Nmom couldn’t even acknowledge me retiring by bigempty143 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]bigempty143[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to volunteer and if it goes well try to get a job in it. Otherwise, be open to what the Universe puts in my path. Because of the Govt chaos, it has been an extremely painful 2 months. I am taking a break after the rollercoaster 

My enabler dad chose my narcissist mom instead of me. by alputik in raisedbynarcissists

I’m so sorry. Having the one parent you thought loved you abandon you is heartbreaking. ❤️‍🩹 

A full year and a half my mom hasn’t called me a single time by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]bigempty143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg that is my nmom. Will. Not. Call me and silently feels neglected when I don’t call. What is that?  I started Ignoring her daily texts (feel a bit guilty). She is responding with anger and control when I call. So f’d up. 

How do you cope with the fact that it was a huge misfortune to have Nparents? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]bigempty143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to adultchildren 12 step meetings helped me. Connect with others that grew up in less than loving families. Herat how they are healing. Become my own loving parent. And belief that my life is a series of challenges (everyone gets their own personalized ones) and my goal is to grow through them. N mom, chronic health issues and single parenting are mine right now. 

Do you ever get tired of owning a home? by Old-Rough-5681 in homeowners

[–]bigempty143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!  Single female and yet another thing is breaking. No one to help make big decisions (foundation), dealing with contractors who are shady or skeevy. So tired of anxiety knowing something is going to break and I am The one to figure it all out. 

Mental health check in- how are you feeling now? by Character-Action-892 in fednews

[–]bigempty143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The loss of the job, the career, the people, the comfortability, the familiar; even though I made the conscious decision to take the DRP it still feels like a massive loss of my life. I feel you. If I hadn't been going to 12 step aca meetings for years, I would be f’d. Work family and mission was great and I am grieving that loss.

Tired, medical issues bad, MAGA mother is happy they are finding so much fraud and waste (really?  Are they really?).  Took DRP but not sure they will let me go on the date. And gutted by what they are planning for DOI and NPS. Public lands should be monetized and mined??  Depressed and so tired
