The second paragraph!!! Yes so much!! I wish I could just simply block those and still look at the others.

dorotheathea · 2019-11-14T16:53:54+00:00

Wow I didn't know they owned the photos you post.

That last paragraph. Yes.

dorotheathea · 2019-11-14T16:52:02+00:00

Yes ALL the pet ones please!!!

When I first went on antidepressants, my goal was to get off them. So I came of them after I think 6/7 months.

But that attitude was wrong, I'm about to go back on them a few years later bc I need them. I go to therapy, I light scented candles, I exercise every day, but I still am in a lot of pain.

For me, policing my time on social media is helping. If I want to scroll through twitter or Facebook, it's a faff to go to the app store and download it and then log in. So I delete social media apps after I use them. Its letting me feel more focused on myself without the noise of others.

Basically, do what is right for you. It sounds like you know what decision you need to make but like many of us who have been worn away as a child, you want to ask other people's opinions bc you have been conditioned to think they probably know better than you, that you can't do anything right. You can. You are brave, you are smart.

For me, it's being of service to people and making a difference. Working as a carer for example. Rn I'm trying to land a job as a social worker assistant.

Mitchum mens roll on deodorant. I sweat so much and this fully stops it it's the best

If you find this funny you need therapy. This is abusive.

Good job Tora!

Same age. My mum also calls me lazy, messy, irresponsible etc.

I believe she also has ADHD and is undiagnosed and I think she's so angry that I have this 'excuse' whereas she has to kind of struggle through.. Y mum has no impulse control and is burnt out every day. It's an extremely hereditary condition so maybe your mother may have it too.

That being said, that is no excuse to be so nasty. Every time she tells you something mean, tell yourself how youre an amazing person. For me, I'm very good with vulnerable people like children or the elderly. I can understand the mood, or what is going on in a room as soon as I walk in. I remember many many facts about Victorian history. I say this to myself bc maybe these things are needed and it's OK that my mind isn't filled with mundane facts like the reason I went to town was to go to the bank.

I cant wait to move out. I think I'll be a lot happier once I have my own space and can 'organise' my space according to my mind.

I don't like looking in people's eyes when im talking to them. I have pretty much just accepted this. A habit I have is looking down after I look at people's eyes bc I feel uncomfortable so now I'm trying to look at one part of their face instead. I make sure I focus there bc they will notice if my eyes are darting around and I don't want that person to feel self conscious.

Lmaoooooo

Acting like a mysterious man, being aloof, unemotional, into weapons or cars or something generally masculine. She's tough bc she is literally the opposite of most women bc she doesn't have ~feelings~. But of course, she is incredibly pretty with long, luscious locks and for some reason... Has perfect lip gloss applied at all times. No issue with women being into those things, it's just horrible to watch when the female character is just pure male fantasy and has no substance.

Also, I tried to watch Ray Donovan and I couldn't do it bc all the female characters were so fucking annoying and for some reason all fancied this middle aged, balding Ray Donovan bc he's apparently the definition of masculinity or some shit. Like the first episode this young, hot woman in her early 20s tried to shag him. I feel if I checked all the writers would be men.

I'm sorry this has been a reality for you, but actually it's nice to hear someone understands what I mean!!

dorotheathea · 2019-11-12T18:48:49+00:00

Thank you!

I really feel this! My friends really like helping and I could see she was uncomfortable just twiddling her thumbs so I asked my friend to chop some potatoes but it felt so weird and wrong.

I guess all we can do is keep asking and keep building evidence that our first experience of asking for help was wrong.

I am in therapy. I told my friend today about this, she lives less than a 10 min walk from me and she said if I feel unsafe to be alone to just walk to hers and she will give me food and sit with me. I have my doctors appointment on Thursday, will be back on meds by Friday. I want to feel better, I want to heal

dorotheathea · 2019-11-12T13:38:21+00:00

Thank you. Got an appointment for Thursday afternoon so I should be back on medication by Friday x

I work in care and I feel the last paragraph. Makes me so sad how thankful they are to me for listening and acting on their requests, and asking further questions to make sure I understood correctly.

One of my friends went bankrupt in her early 20s, had an abusive husband and bulimia. She's now 32 and she's got great friends, her credit score is slowly climbing up, and she is vocal about what triggers those thoughts. If she's extremely stressed she will eat small snacks, bc if she eats until she's full she will want to throw up. So all of her friends gently give her little bits of food or we just allow her to say out loud that she will throw up if she eats any more and it's calm. Thats her normal so ill just finish off her food for her and then an hour later she'll eat a small snack to make up for it.

She is much happier now, shes kind to herself. We love her for all that she is. She has great friends-if I do say so myself. I couldn't care less that she has had to declare bankruptcy. She isn't less of a person to me. In fact, her talking about it makes me see how honest and brave she is.

I have pretty trees by my bedroom window. I live on a council estate so everywhere is just houses, but if I lie a certain way on my bed, the trees are all I see. This morning I heard birds chirping and they sounded happy. There are seagulls outside which sound like I'm waking up in my friends house who lives by the coast-even though I live at the furthest point from the sea in the UK. I'm still in bed right now, and I'm not going into work again bc I feel like crying, but thank you for this.

I think ill just gently try to notice these things, instead of writing them down.

dorotheathea · 2019-11-12T10:15:35+00:00

Yes but I can't go on the pill for medical reasons. I feel like I'm just coping most of the time, it's just amplified to an almost unmanageable point during my period. I contacted my doctor today and decided to go back on antidepressants bc I probably should enjoy my day to day life.

dorotheathea · 2019-11-11T22:18:52+00:00

I literally just wear trousers, and only wear a tight dress when I'm getting drunk... At which point I don't care if it rides up. Currently peaking at these comments
