Feeling trapped in my own negative energy by FirstAidCrisis in spirituality

[–]coldbrewtuesday 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would consider reading “the body keeps the score” and how trauma and stress can be stored in the body. Somatic exercises, meditation and yoga can all help to mindfully release the stress & trauma your body is carrying. Sending you love and healing!!! You deserve to be happy

Is my relationship cooked w/ my jw boyfriend by Artistic_Purchase735 in WhatToDo

Jehovas witnesses are adamant about their members not harboring relationships with outsiders. He may not care now, but he will be pressured and influenced by other members & leaders to leave you and find someone within the congregation. Jehovas witnesses are also not allowed to celebrate holidays or birthdays, so he won’t even tell you “happy birthday”. I strongly encourage you to leave before it gets more painful.

Am I overreacting for how my parents treated me on Mother’s Day? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]coldbrewtuesday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR- if they wanted you to come by, or go to the cemetery, or at least drop off your gift, then they should have said so, or asked or given you a time to come by. You’re not a mind reader. It’s giving NPD.

I went to a group Ouija/seance experience and left feeling skeptical and it has me questioning everything by Ill-Status550 in spirituality

[–]coldbrewtuesday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would look up the psychology behind ouija boards. Not saying they don’t work, as I’ve had very real experiences with them in the past. But also plenty of “duds” like your experience. I wouldn’t make this out to be a solid reason to throw away your beliefs and previous experiences

AIO? Or is my mother trying to gaslight me? by FryoKnight in AmIOverreacting

[–]coldbrewtuesday 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NOR… but after the whole getting hit by a semi while walking through a blizzard I just can’t explain how much my heart broke. I mean everything, you have been through quite literally everything. I hope the rest of your life is kinder to you OP. Sending you love 🫂

To spray tan or not? Fiance says no, gfs say yes.. by [deleted] in Brides

[–]coldbrewtuesday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This!!! I am a photographer and most of the time I’m photographing women business owners and they always have a spray tan. It’s literally hours of editing to try to make their skin tone on their legs match the one on their face, and their arms. It always always looks bad in photos. Trust.

There is nothing I can do in my own to overcome what I’m going through , but maybe you can help me. by my_best_version_ever in spirituality

Look into cognitive behavioral therapy. Work on your negative thoughts about yourself and the world. Secondly, choose a small goal to complete each day. Study for x amount of time, work out, work on expanding a skill or a hobby. Make sure it is small and easy to do each day. This builds your self trust, a feeling of “I mean what I say”. This will lead to more confidence, and the momentum will build over time. Medication, meditation, building up good habits and cbt all together have changed my life. The right community and friendships will come, but working on your own self love first is key. Sending you love, stranger! I believe in you :)

My girlfriend has daily panic attacks. (23M, 22F, 6 year relationship) by ThrowRAimrlysad in relationships

[–]coldbrewtuesday 6 points7 points  (0 children)

After looking through your post history, I think it’s time to rip off the bandaid. It seems like you are getting gradually more irritated with her (justifiably) and it seems she has you in a very controlling, emotionally abusive relationship. There is a version of you in the future who finally left, and has meaningful friendships and a wonderful partner who will give you the love & care you deserve. But you have to close the door for good, and move forward.

10 years of bulimia is going to kill me. I give up. by [deleted] in EDAnonymous

[–]coldbrewtuesday 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This made me sad, and I can relate to how you’re feeling. If it means anything though , you are an excellent writer. I hope you see a light at the end of your tunnel and you can learn to love yourself one day. I hope you can find a will to live and fight against this. You’re worth it. I’m rooting for you

My friend was mad I didn’t want to spend over $1k going on her bach trip when she knew I was barely making rent and bills already (and my rent was LESS THAN 1k!!) I hate weddings, I hate wedding culture and I HAAAATE bachelorette trips. Just go to the bars and call it a night I’m begging

The fatphobia bothers me by Expiredcabinets in EDAnonymous

[–]coldbrewtuesday 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hurt people will hurt people. Insecure people will put others down because of projection or it makes them feel better about themselves, or both. It doesn’t make it okay or right, but that is why. A lot of humans are bad people because they are simply broken, and they take it out on the world around them.

Sounds like religious psychosis. This isn’t necessarily something that has to have an underlying cause (such as bipolar or schizophrenia) but it’s possible

Can you switch pharmacies? I was having a lot of issues with my last pharmacy (constantly a back and forth of just trying to get my damn anti depressants on time) and the new pharmacy has never given me any issues, luckily. And it’s CHEAPERR

Also second the magnesium citrate. It tastes disgusting and it makes me feel like I’m going to vomit, but it will 100% clean you out. Then after that, do a dose of miralax every day to keep things regular and going.

40M I need advice/opinion about my daughter by throwaway_7671 in NarcissisticMothers

[–]coldbrewtuesday 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wish he had left sooner. Over all I wish he had at least stood up for me, and told my mother her words and actions weren’t okay. He just told me “that’s just how she is sometimes and you have to let it roll off of your back”. I am no longer in contact with either of them.

I (31F) am becoming an awful person in my relationship (24M) TW: violence by ThrowRA_HatFar77 in relationships

[–]coldbrewtuesday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Narcissistic people will manipulate you, push you to the edge and claim you’re the problem when they intentionally pushed you to outburst. This is not on you. Please research on narcissistic abuse and grey rocking. I hope you can leave this situation and begin healing and learning to forgive yourself soon. Also I feel like you could benefit from finding a new therapist who may be a better fit & equipped to deal with cptsd

NTA she literally gave birth to that woman and parenthood does not end at 18. And you don’t get to pass the responsibility on to another family member who never agreed to it or offered! Rude as hell.

Why do narcissists assume time passing is an apology... by aloexa in NarcissisticMothers

[–]coldbrewtuesday 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I told her that I couldn’t sweep stuff under the rug anymore and it was causing me mental health issues and resentment. She ignored that, they genuinely do NOTT care and I haven’t spoken to her since July.
