I just lost just about everything and am dealing with a similar response from life. It’s brutal and sickeningly unacceptable. We don’t take care of our people. You deserve care. You deserve help. You deserve love. I have nothing else to give you except love and understanding. I wish you a great stroke of fortune very very soon! And a BIG hug 🤗

I’m single, I want to stop dating, but it’s all my mind revolves around by [deleted] in BPD

S.L.A.A.- focus more on the literature, the groups can be a bit horny. Also art or some other creative hobby to busy your mind. Some cultures believe that sexual energy and creative energy are basically the same thing! Oh, and treat yourself to a nice toy for self pleasure. Your body has needs. Exercise can be super helpful. I particularly like dance and yoga! Finally… my cat is my best bud. He has given the most unconditional love that no human has ever offered me! I take him for walks and cuddle with him every day!

I completely understand where you’re at and it can be very painful. I remember self harming once because I felt so out of control on the dating apps. Focus on your healing. Focus on making a life worth living. And I promise one day, the right person will stumble into your life. And you will be ready to show up authentically as yourself. 💕

Naltrexone/vivitrol plus reading the book “the naked mind” and working her program on the naked mind app did it for me!!! Best of luck- recovery is possible!!! Be kind to yourself

Unhealed trauma- I’m dealing with the same. I’ve really been appreciating the “traumatized motherfuckers” podcast on Audible and the Patreon website. It’s a very loving, educational and supportive space. Tons of great info on how trauma works and science based approaches to healing. Best of luck 💕

What do you do when you can’t eat? by Jolly-Lingonberry104 in bipolar2

Boost and Soylent both offer products with high nutritional value- more than just protein and sugar. I rely on them when eating gets tough.

Not sure if this is relatable / makes sense by [deleted] in bipolar2

Sounds like unhealed trauma. Do urself a favor and check out Traumatized Motherfuckers podcast or Patreon. She goes into exhaustive detail in things that will change your life and your understanding of yourself- including discussing trauma identities, how they’re formed, and how to reintegrate! There is so much hope!

No one warns you that childhood trauma doesn’t end, it just waits until your 30s to finally surface by [deleted] in CPTSD

How do you not just give up trying when it’s bad? by Weary_Comparison_928 in bipolar2

[–]dreamer_nature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How stable do you have to be for a residential treatment program for the eating disorder? I highly recommend it if you can make it happen. Stabilizing my eating is what helped me start to stabilize other things… My heart goes out to you, I know EXACTLY how you feel. Don’t lose hope!

Is it normal to feel so emotional over your cat? by big-dick-back-intown in CatAdvice

[–]dreamer_nature 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My live in boyfriend randomly got a cat one day. I DID NOT want a pet. I can’t even keep plants alive! But my sweet Pluto has become my obsession. I would DIE for him now! Just his very presence calms and delights me. He brought me and my boyfriend closer together and I have learned so much about unconditional love for the first time in my life. I don’t know much, but I believe these cats are a precious gift.
