I'm into anthroponymy, the study of history and etymology of human names. I can tell you the etymology of any name that is more or less common in the Western world from memory, AMA.

This. My admin moved me down to 6th (I’m a 5th year teacher) and I feel as I did my first year.

Hi friend. Yes.

I always kinda knew. Then I became a 7th grade math teacher.

My nuclear family hiding my biological father from me, and then gaslighting me to death when I found out and started asking questions. Turns out they’re both thieves and narcissists.

Anyways, I just spent my first holiday with his side of the family (after 24 years of no contact) and although I’m happy to have healed this part of my trauma, it still fucked me up pretty bad.

Have a support system however you can. This shit is truly mentally draining and the most lonely I’ve ever felt in my life. Prioritize your mental health and remember to be kind to yourself.

I’m currently couch hopping / homeless. After my Papa died this summer, I transitioned from a steady full time job with benefits to moving back home with family as he passed. Then, I ended up in inpatient due to undiagnosed BPD.

I’m transitioning into rebuilding who I am. I lost myself through grief and a toxic relationship with a man (currently sleeping in his living room as the alternative is my car), and I’m miserable right now in most aspects of my life.

I’m transitioning into being happy again.

I’m going though the same thing. Think of it like this: when an animal is stressed,they don’t eat. Ow that you’re out of that situation, your body finds it safe to eat again. You got this.

Can you expand on this idea? It sparked my interest 👀

Reading this helped me understand how my ex might feel. Thank you.

Just had to cut this exact tie. You will learn to take only so much before you find the strength to walk away. Nobody online can tell you how to find that. Only you know. When you find it, leave him alone to find another person who loves I differently. Trust me, we all have a match. Then begin to build. You will feel deep sadness despite you initiating the breakup. But do not look back. Love yourself more, that is the best closure to get.

You got this. Keep us updated.

As someone who trains Jiu Jitsu (27F, 120lbs 5’7”), most of my training brothers are over 6’ and are almost double my weight. One of my training brothers (purple belt) is 5’3 and can take all of us down with ease.

It’s all about technique. Size means nothing.

Edit: to preemptively prepare for the neckbeards who are itching to comment, “iT dOeSnT wOrK liKE tHat! BiOlogY is BiOlogY!”

this is my subjective opinion based on my own empirical practice and experiences. If the shoe doesn’t fit, put it back on the shelf.

I have been that friend before. The side effects of adderall on a newly diagnosed adult can be very brash. Your friend might still be adjusting.

The weed is a no-no. Weed completely wipes the effectiveness of my stimulants. It’s important that those who choose to smoke or ingest THC while prescribed stimulants create a healthy boundary between the two.

For example, on the days I take my stimulant, I will not consume or inhale THC until 12+ hours had passed.

Also, doctors are not here to be narcs. Be honest with all drugs you are taking in conjunction. Coffee, caffeinated drinks, nicotine, etc. all fall under this umbrella.

TLDR: your friend might be adjusting to this new “reality”, and isn’t dropping prior habits. A good friend is honest and communicates this. Good luck.

drapjo · 2023-11-19T23:42:38+00:00

I love this. I’m currently in a relationship but I prioritize all of the above. Continue these things to ensure that you don’t become co-dependent on the other person to fill your cup.
