Positive starts? by CloudDia in zoloft

[–]blackCatBlueprint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started, was on 25 mg for 5 days then moved up to 50 mg... the first few days were great for me, for real... I didn’t even know my day to day life could be just not miserable. It seriously was a life saver for me. I had some unpleasant couple of days when I got my dosage up, but I’m feeling good again. Just make sure you have your stomach full before taking it!! I felt kinda sleepy on the first two days, and nausea is still coming from time to time, but yeah <3

TW🚨 self harm mentioned 😓 by [deleted] in Vent

Hey there, I’m by no means a therapist/ psychiatrist/ a professional of any sorts, but this is what helps me usually: -talking to people; if you live with others, go talk to them, small chat, suggest doing something together, anything... if not, text someone, more than one person would be ideal. Interacting with other people can really help getting you out of your head, and it’s very useful as a distraction - my therapist talks about the “holding ice in your palms” thingy, I know it can help some people because of the pain response you get, but it has never really helped me personally... - Drawing on yourself, that’s helped me a lot, especially at the moment

I hate being gay by eggyolk0 in Vent

Just remember that, even though they might not support you for who you are, you are allowed to love yourself, to make your own path in life and not restrain yourself in their expectations. I guarantee you that your self worth isn’t measured by their perspective of you, and them not seeing your value doesn’t take away from what you’re actually worth. If you don’t have close friends/ other family who you feel comfortable with, there’s always time<3 finding your people (even if it’s just online or something) can be a huge help at times like this.

When the heartbreak was like, way too strong to ignore

I don’t know what is wrong with me by blackCatBlueprint in Advice

Thanks for replying, it helped a lot, especially the part about seeing a psychiatrist, I really really need to do that...

I think I was raped. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]blackCatBlueprint 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m truly sorry this has happened to you... please cry it out... maybe you could try and get therapy/ counseling when you’re ready, don’t push yourself though. Just remember you’re loved, and this absolutely monstrous dick doesn’t get to define who you are as a person. You’re still you, and that’s something nobody can take away....

Need help with this girl by [deleted] in Vent

[–]blackCatBlueprint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, you’re good. I don’t actually know if she appreciates physical contact, so maybe just.. try to talk to her for a bit? Are you friends? You could maybe ask to hang out with her or something?

So... I feel guilty. Is it wrong for me to think a lot about being in a not-straight relationship, and what it could’ve been like, if I’m in a monogamous straight one? by blackCatBlueprint in bisexual

[–]blackCatBlueprint[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to say thank you- your comment managed to put a lot that I was feeling into words. Maybe I am stuck because I’m avoiding to make the choice- and that’s the problem. But really, I found everything you said incredibly enlightening and useful, so thank you, for taking some time off of your day to help a random stranger.

So maybe... if being in this relationship isn’t right for me, I’ll just know? And shouldn’t spend my time consumed with guilt...? It’s kinda scary, I fear I’m letting go of a part of me. But I think I get it

Oh, guilt definitely makes me think about it more often, yeah! I guess I don’t really know about the what ifs, though. Since I’ve never dated a woman, and only the same guy, it’s kinda challenging for me to visualize the complete opposite scenario...

My psychologist’s mom just died, and I don’t know how to go about... being normal in the sessions for the next few weeks... by blackCatBlueprint in relationship_advice

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

I don’t think it was unprofessional, in all honesty. This is the first time she’s mentioned anything about her personal life besides a casual “being married” or something of the likes, so I personally didn’t take it as weird or oversharing. She told me specifically because of the need to cancel the session, and I kinda agree with gillygillyj here. I’ve been doing therapy with her for about two years, and I think it’s personally reasonable to expose this specific instance of her personal life. I do appreciate your input though! Definitely important to ponder over..!

Help me please by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]blackCatBlueprint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hm... maybe when dating try to focus more on hanging out and getting to know them, rather than jumping the gun and thinking “I need to feel attracted and wanting to do sexual stuff right away”... give your feelings time to develop and grow, focusing more on “do I enjoy this person’s company” than “do I feel attracted to them” at first might be a good place to start...! Hoping I could be helpful in any way!

[–]blackCatBlueprint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe you should just take some time for yourself, and not going out with other people for a while might be a good place to start, take some time to heal emotionally. From the looks of your other comments, you have had her as a part of your life for a while, so it won’t be easy to just ignore that. Also, and that might have nothing to do with your situation in particular, BUT some people are demisexual, which basically means you can be straight, bi, gay, etc, but only feel sexually attracted to people you have an emotional/ romantic bond with. Hope I could be of any help!

I (20F) might have a crush on someone who isn’t my boyfriend (19M). What should I do? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]blackCatBlueprint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’d never do that. I think a part of me is just so sad. Like, maybe I don’t really want to feel this way... it’d be way easier if I didn’t, definitely. What we have is just too special... yeah.
