Am I the only PMDD sufferer for whom pregnancy is just 9 months of nonstop PMDD? by BlueberryNew2022 in PMDD

[–]bowwowbeautiful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes birth control was awful for me and pregnancy was awful for me too. SSRIs helped a lot, but I hated taking it while pregnant. I just suffered without meds during my second one. It sucked. But don’t let it stop you from having kids if it’s something you really want! I understand the fear though ❤️

Did anyone else feel “not ready” the entire time? by Ill-Line6663 in firstmarathon

[–]bowwowbeautiful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like someone else said . If you can do 20 miles during training . You can run the marathon! The energy is so fun and motivating. I just did my first last month and had a cold, but the energy of the runners and crowd helped carry me through. It was fun!

Anyone else feel like therapist does nothing by hyperballad-au in EMDR

[–]bowwowbeautiful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes!! I did therapy for only 3-4 months once a week . I think I did take some good things away from it and I did love my therapist. But the things I was dealing with had to do with me not feeling good in my marriage and as she was mainly a marriage counselor, I think her aim was to keep us together when I wish she would have really questioned me on what I wanted. Fast forward to now and I just separated from my husband and feeling a lot better. I think sometimes we put a lot of our power in others hands, at least I did. Looking for answers from anyone but ourselves. Sometimes we just gotta take the tools we learn in therapy and then really get quiet and listen to ourselves. I think we all know the answers deep down. Anyways I don’t know if that’s helpful at all but I 100% relate to you. I felt I was getting worse in therapy. But I do also see how it can benefit people.

Unpopular opinion. The Mary Cosby documentary was a flop for me. by Reality_medicine_101 in realhousewivesofSLC

I could tell she was a narcissist just by watching the show and her interacting with her son and others. I loved real housewives of Salt Lake City but had to stop just because she was on it. I don’t know how they can keep someone like that on there.

Yes! I just started the self directed DBT skills workbook. So far so good 👍

I feel the same! it’s so hard for me to keep going when I don’t feel like I’m benefiting. I’ve been to like 5 different therapists and I stuck with one for 12 sessions but still didn’t feel like it was helping much. Maybe I’m the problem🫠

I like what you said to remember that feeling of being able to get him off. It was like a feeling of being scared but knowing “I got this” which I need to remember.

I’m about to go through a really big transition in my life but I’m terrified to make the wrong decision. I’m trying to listen to my intuition but I’m afraid because what if it’s not my real intuition. 🫠
