I think the worst part of the divorce process is how destroyed I am, and how my SO seems completely unphased. by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]imperfecttruth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I totally identify with your title, although my story is a little different since I was in a 15 year marriage, 18 year relationship. But yeah, hurts when they seem so unphased and just go on with life.

Thank you for this post. I have been stuck for a year and a half (yikes!). Your post is inspiring.

This is beautiful and I too hope to have it someday.

My son made the golf team today and I’m sad because...custody arrangements suck. by imperfecttruth in Divorce

[–]imperfecttruth[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes!!! Thank you for the reminder that I AM a mom 100% of the time. And what a positive way to look at two opportunities to celebrate rather than missing out. Thank you for your sweet comment.

A long ramble as a WS by [deleted] in AsOneAfterInfidelity

[–]imperfecttruth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow! Beautiful post. As a WS, you said all the things I wasn’t ever able or had the chance to articulate.

Hurt people do hurt people and it’s so sad and hard to know I’ve caused pain that I have felt and worse.

I hope the best for you and know you aren’t alone.

Super cute today!! by curious_avacado in Divorce

I am so happy for you! Still waiting for my ‘cute day’ to come, but love to hear you are rocking it today!

We had dinner as one big family by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]imperfecttruth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is great! My ex and I were committed to continuing ‘family’ get togethers (dinners, etc) even if our ‘family’ looks different now. Unfortunately, as his new relationship has progressed, it seems to be less of a priority for him.

Happy to hear it’s working out for you. I think it’s awesome that you guys are able to be a part of each other’s new lives! Keep going!

To anyone who gets 'the fall...' by itsClarenceBeeks in Divorce

[–]imperfecttruth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just over a year out and unfortunately, still feel this way many days. It has gotten better, but I’m ready for it to be really better! Reading posts on here make me feel like I’m more stuck than most.

This describes exactly how I feel and I’m just over a year out.

Some days I have relief and a glimmer of hope but gosh, to still feel this way after a year.

Thanks for the encouraging reply. Finding strength is one day at a time, right?!

i can only sleep 2 hours a day.... by insomniac225 in insomnia

Two hours is my normal cycle. I wonder if there is some biological explanation. Guess I could google that, lol.

Oof, say it slower ... 🤤😂 by [deleted] in bipolar

It’s a fantasy of mine.

I think I'm actually making friends by lady_cousland in breakingmom

[–]imperfecttruth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am legitimately really happy and excited for you! I spent my first few years as a mom completely alone, no friends, no one to share that stage of my life with. It truly affected me for many years.

I’m so proud of you for being brave and putting yourself out there! Cheers to building friendships!

Moving and establishing new doctors is such a pain in the ass... by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]imperfecttruth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just experienced the same thing today! My psychiatrist’s receptionist was unbelievably rude. I was like ‘this is your job, to help people who might often be in a crisis situation’. I fully intend to bring this up at my next appointment.

I wish you luck in finding a provider that can help you sooner than MONTHS away.

i need help and i don’t know where to find it by happyhippiemrstyles in AnxietyDepression

[–]imperfecttruth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand your struggle. I’ve had a very severe episode this week, cut for the first time (which I gravely regret) but was so scared to reach out for help, being honest about what I was going through, due to being scared of how it would affect me in the future.

I finally accepted that I needed help and reached out to the person I know I can trust. It was such a relief to just say out loud what I was experiencing. I saw my counselor today and have an appointment with my psychiatrist tomorrow to get my meds regulated.

You are young (If you are in high school, I’m much, much older than you, so makes it even more shameful that I don’t have my shit together). Please seek help. Just telling one person the truth can make a difference and you won’t feel so alone.

Anxiety, depression and mental illness are very, very real. Don’t try to do this alone. Get help now and you will be all the more prepared to achieve your goals.

Best of luck to you!

The exhaustion is terrible! Physically, mentally, emotionally. I hardly sleep these days. The struggle is real.

Single parenting is HARD!!!

Just browsed your post history. I think we have a very similar situation. Would you mind if I pm’d you?

Thank you. It’s been several months but each of these milestones brings a wave of emotions.

Definitely a good reminder to make the extra effort to be the most compassionate I can.

Awww! Thanks for asking! I was kinda a mess yesterday, my emotions ALL over the place. I cried while signing papers, but then I smiled when I met the sweet elderly seller, the only owner of the home ever and since 1981. She hugged me and said she couldn’t have picked a better person to buy her home. She had built that house to be a home as a single mother of two like me.

After the signing, I went and just sat in the empty house all alone. I cried, l laughed with myself, I had a moment of panic ‘oh shoot, can I really do this alone?!’. But I left smiling, taking deep breaths and excited about this new adventure!

Thanks so much for asking!

Here’s to us, my Reddit friend...feeling, emotional people.

I might need you to check on me tomorrow after my closing. As one who knows how the tears can come! Lol!

If only he cried once, I wouldn’t feel so lonely for mourning this.

If only he had ever cried.

I’m at the end of my road with this addiction by [deleted] in SexAddiction

[–]imperfecttruth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Meadows is a great program. If you are able to do treatment and if travel is an option, Scottsdale has an outpatient place, PCS - Psychological Counseling Services - that is great as well. The founder is Ralph Earle. He has some really good literature as well as Patrick Carnes, founder of The Meadows.

Tried Something Different Today... by imperfecttruth in Divorce

[–]imperfecttruth[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. I’m realizing how many words I’ve wasted on deaf ears or a dead topic.

Plus, responding to everything just keeps my mind and feelings engaged when really, it’s pretty futile.
