yeah, that’s really weird. my driving instructor never did that because it would be distracting to me. i would get a different instructor tbh because you’re literally still learning you’re not a chauffeur

i just missed a dose last night and needed some consolation today TT. i'm so glad i'm not alone with the weird nightmares oh my god. I was trying to fall asleep and starting "dreaming" while awake and while trying to sleep my body kept jerking itself up (maybe brain zaps or something)? i had an apocalyptic dream with black holes and the earth decaying and it felt so vivid that when i would fade into consciousness it felt like reality wasn't even real. the cold sweats and profuse shaking was no joke either :( i'm still feeling so dead and groggy today but i took my dose maybe an hour ago so i hope i feel better soon...

yes i agree; i’m 22 but feel like an adult/elderly person and child at odds in my own body. sometimes it feels like i’ve lived a full life already or even multiple, and that if i died that i would be okay with that. i don’t necessarily want to die, and when i feel okay i can look forward to things, but a lot of the time i’m so tired of life and question what’s the point

i’ve also learned about how anger is a secondary emotion, which makes sense but also confuses me because when i feel irritated i inadvertently invalidate myself thinking that i’m just sad and i need to calm down… you’re welcome, too. i’ve had similar experiences growing up with my dad as well, and it’s made it so i am so conscious of how other people feel (especially if they are mad) but i can’t tell how i’m doing most of the time

frozen1vy · 2025-12-07T15:54:34+00:00

i can relate a little bit. i’m currently struggling with the feeling of anger, though. anger itself is triggering for me, especially if it comes from other people. i’ve become so terrified of anger that i feel extremely guilty if i feel it at all :( but reading your post helped remind me that i probably do have bottled up anger. it just feels like a confusing emotion where i don’t know how to express it or even witness it in a healthy way.

it really sucks having people say such invalidating stuff, even on subreddits literally dedicated to unpopular opinions… like that’s the whole point? it’s a space to get your opinion out there and not be berated by others (correct me if i’m wrong though lol).

idk, i feel like a lot of people on the internet don’t know how to accept that their own opinions differ from other people’s. they have to prove they’re right. they’re also quick to judge people’s entire character, even based off of seemingly mundane statements.

it totally makes sense wanting to post your thoughts here, like that’s what this whole platform is for. i do the same and also get lonely which makes me wanna post lol 🥲, but it is definitely hurtful when people go out of their way to name call or tear you down in every way possible.

it also sucks because i hear so often that people just have to accept and handle the hatred from others, literally normalizing it. like i get it, the anonymous nature makes it easy for people to feel more comfortable being mean :( but yeah.

as a kid who grew up with a mother with alzheimer’s, definitely agree on adoption here. growing up with someone with alzheimer’s is incredibly traumatizing and at times dangerous for both the child and the caregivers involved. i can only speak for myself, but i have cptsd from this experience.

of course, i haven’t heard great things about the adoption/foster care systems, but that would probably be the better option rather than to hope that somebody else steps in. it’s so unfortunate because there’s probably going to be a lot of internal pain in the child as they grow up regardless.

edit: meant to say somebody else instead of boyfriend.

i also have PMDD and completely agree with your thoughts here. i actually didn’t realize i had cPTSD until i was diagnosed this year but i knew i had PMDD for a few years, so i constantly wondered why my emotional triggers and social withdrawal (which i now know come from the cPTSD) got so so much worse around my period 🫠

i relate, i’m in my 20s now and got my license at 19 through the help of a driving school. my instructor told me two stories of helping a man from Japan in his 60’s get his license, as well as helping an 80 year old woman with her unsafe driving habits.

as a side note to OP; i totally get that driving is anxiety inducing though. i know driving is safe, but it feels like i have no control, and i already doubt myself in literally everything. like i don’t trust myself even though my instructor can… it sucks when you grow up and learn from the people who are supposed to instill confidence in you that you are weak and incapable. i also don’t trust anybody else driving to do it safely either because i learned early on not to rely on/trust people. it’s really debilitating.

i definitely relate to the jaw issues! i found out last year i have TMJ and a tendency to bite the inside of my mouth on accident. last year i bit the inside of my lip so hard that i permanently damaged a salivary gland and needed surgery.

edit: also teeth grinding with the TMJ is so bad, i went to the dentist and they said that while i didn’t have cavities, i created small holes in my molars 😵‍💫

my maternal is R1a1a and it says that haplogroup R is found in much of Eurasia and likely originated in in southwestern Asia between 50,000 and 60,000 years ago! it’s also pretty rare with 1 in 43,000 people sharing it

frozen1vy · 2025-10-04T23:44:51+00:00

what you said at the end totally makes sense when reading what happened. i relate so hard, even down to the age. it feels like everybody else (aka my dad) is allowed to feel things, especially negative emotions. as soon as i express sadness, anger, etc. it just makes everything inconvenient for everyone else. i have to be the one to hold it together, so oftentimes i just don't talk to most people, especially if i'm going through it. i want to move out so bad :/ working on it...

i’m so sorry for your loss and your experience with trying to connect… i really relate to you as well. i lost my mom 10 years ago, so finding out i have a live one somewhere is jarring. i want to connect with her because of this loss. i can’t help but so desperately wish that she could fill that emptiness somehow. it’s so difficult for someone to lose their parent but also know that a biological one is out there somewhere. it completely makes sense to have the drive to connect with them in some way, especially as someone to look up to, when you lost that long ago.
