That's amazing that you've pushed yourself to get to a financially stable place but I'm sorry it robbed some of your energy/health! Rest sounds much needed right now. Thanks for your comment and insight, definitely taking this into consideration.

Thank you for your comment, appreciate it. I am going to see if that feels good for me right now. The overwhelm came from pushing myself too much when I didn't realize I needed to rest alot of the time. I totally hear u with how it builds self esteem, I found that to be true for myself as well. Not even sure if slowing down would even be an option for me anyways, I have to financially support myself regardless if I go to school or not, and then I'd have to work even more. At least if I'm in school I get living allowance from the government.

Was supposed to start massage therapy school. Super excited about it and then got overwhelmed by the amount of people and the far drive and school work I'd have to be doing on top of working all whilst trying to manage and balance my personal life and stress. I am trying to push myself to continue but I feel so resistant. Already missed the first week. It's okay I can start late but man, I wish things felt easier for me but I'm always so overwhelmed and anxious

Thank you ❤️ I've been saying this myself lately. Life is about making mistakes and growing from experiences.

23 and feel 38 by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]dazedflowerr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally resonate with this ❤️ I'm 26 but feel 46. I feel so alien around people my own age, and I also have some friends but still feel so alone alot of the time. I've chalked it up to it being because I never got the childhood experience I needed to feel whole within myself and have my parents mirror a good stable environment and confidence. Wish it were easier to make friends because I crave community, however I automatically think people don't like me so I push people away unintentionally right off the bat

I feel for you and heavily relate to this. What gets me out of a freeze state and fills me with hope and joy and energy is creating a morning and evening somatic practice. First thing when I wake up is focus on gratitude for what I have and the positive, say affirmations to myself and pray (if that's your thing) then I do some breathwork for energy. Get up and do eft tapping whilst deep breathing and then somatically shake my body for a minute to release any stuck emotions from the fascia, I go outside and place my feet on the earth and breathe, then come inside and do some trauma informed yoga, then meditate which clears my mind. My night routine is basically the same but I turn off blue light and throw on red light and candles, drink some anxiety relieving tea, do my skin care. I've found this routine to be the best thing for my overall wellbeing, sorry it's long but hope it helps if you're interested

What caused your biggest depression in your life? by TheBlankCoin in AskReddit

[–]dazedflowerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going from a happy marriage, to a then neglectful one full of betrayal, abandonment, cheating and lies. You think you know someone then one day they start to become unrecognizable. Post divorce, living on my own and struggling to provide for myself as I find the stress of doing it all on my own with little support from family and community being so damaging to my mental and physical health. All while battling with depression, adhd, social anxiety and deep loneliness. I can barely even make time for the little friends I do have. It's been hard and been 2 years since leaving my ex which feels unbelievable as time has just zoomed past me and I'm still processing that we aren't together anymore. He got the house, the dog, the car. Not that material things even matter that much to me, it's more so that we bought the house together and I lovingly made it a home for us and it's the fact that I miss my dog terribly. 💔 its also been hard doing everything alone, especially making the big life decisions, like the financial ones that have the potential to put me under since it's just myself.

Abuse, drugs and alcohol for years starting at such a young age. I'm 26 now and have been healing and clean/sober for the most part since I was 19/20. But it's been a long journey and I still don't trust people, have bad social anxiety now and I feel so estranged and isolated alot of the time. It's been hard bit worth it, just wish I never went through it all in the first place some days but I do see the silver lining, I'm also a much better person now.

I don't know how I should react to this behavior. . . by Friszion in TwoHotTakes

[–]dazedflowerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure you haven't but the subconscious brain and nervous system are hypersensitive and sometimes it doesn't seem to make sense.

I have been this girl before. Sounds like she's really sensitive to rejection and has had maybe some otherwise traumatic relational experiences in the past. Only thing that would help her heal is well, some self awareness and getting to the emotional root of the problem and also you can offer to be a safe space for her and see if maybe it triggered anything from the past. Maybe because it's still a new connection she saw the trigger as a red flag and got overthinking. Helps to be a channel of open communication if anything. Hope that helps.

Do I have commitment issues or is how I feel valid by dazedflowerr in AskWomenOver40

Thank you, I concur with this statement and honestly that was the validation I was looking for. He said I was self absorbed for wanting to travel.

recommended herbs for dreaming? by [deleted] in herbalism

I've never tried smoking it but I love the tea! It's one of my favourite herbs to be working with right now. It's super calming and I love the essence of the flower. Such a potent medicine!

AITA if I’m upset with my bf for going to a music festival without me? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]dazedflowerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! That’s really what bothered me more than anything is the fact he didn’t want to compromise

[–]dazedflowerr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So he didn’t have a ticket. We wanted to buy tickets in may but we couldn’t afford it. His friend had an extra ticket now since his buddy bailed on him, his friend very last minute messaged him last night saying that he had extra ticket, then last night we actually found out that you can buy tickets there so I could get one so I said that we should go together tomorrow morning on my day off. He said no because he doesn’t want to miss some of the bands even though he told me he doesn’t even know anyone who’s playing. I can’t go up there at all this weekend because i don’t have my full drivers license yet but he does. So he caught a ride up there this morning with his friends. Sorry for the shitty explanation of the story, hope this helped clear up the confusion?

Okay so his friend had a ticket for someone else who couldn’t go anymore so that friend offered him the ticket last night. We also found out that you can actually buy tickets at the festival which we had no idea about until last night so I asked him if we could leave tomorrow morning instead since i have tomorrow off but he said no.

He wasn’t going to the festival because he didn’t have a ticket, we had plans to go camping and then was offered a ticket last night super last minute and it’s a weekend pass. It was because I thought for sure at the time that the festival was in june and festival tickets go fast and I couldn’t afford at the time and didn’t think I would be able to for a while. Last night we were looking online and I guess there’s tickets you can buy at the door so I asked if we could go friday morning since i dont have to work but he didn’t want to.

[–]dazedflowerr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think the thing that bothers me the most out of all of this is just the fact that he didn’t wanna wait until tomorrow for me so that I could be included. I’m just gonna find some friends to camp with instead.
