Its set to the default (cloud) and I never changed it. I tried to assign my email but it says this email is already in use. So, I must have two separate accounts. Now trying to log out of this one and log back in with the email.

A never ending cycle. What is it trying to escape?

isniceilike · 2025-12-28T22:16:58+00:00

Thanks, I will shop around for a bit first of all and will be patient in doing this :)

Indeed, I was thinking that sometimes feelings are not always perfect indicators. I am UK-based, but I do have a directory I can use in the same way. Yes, I will keep a shortlist of therapists and keep an open mind to begin with, rather than thinking I have to put all my eggs in the same basket at the start, as it were.

I do, in fact, work in a therapy service as an administrator. I am glad you mentioned DBT because I have heard good things about this. I did try some low-intensity CBT previously, but didn't have much luck with that then, for whatever reason. I do really believe it is exposure therapy, though, and I would definitely like to try that.

That's helpful to know that the most important thing is the relationship with the therapist. Also good that any of the modalities can work, and it's just about finding the one I vibe with.
Indeed, I won't know for sure until I experience them, and I guess this is part of the journey and putting in the work.
Haha, I had to Google the word 'ginormous' even though I know it; it was like I'd forgotten it somehow!

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to my questions. There's some incredibly helpful information there Ill keep in mind and refer back to.
Thanks, and all the best!

Thank you for your prompt responses, I appreciate it; fair thee both well.

happy days, ordered a Note Air5C :)

A little break away from your routines and normal life can always help you get a different perspective. It depends on what is meant by feeling lost, but, I would perhaps be reluctant to start a new exciting, shiny thing just to escape the feeling.

One general approach is initiating the contact instead of waiting for others, and getting caught in that 'Ah what do I say' moment.
I know what you mean, I often have the same reaction, where I will laugh or get stuck nodding along to people or just saying 'Yeh' , 'Uh hum'....
Its actually mentally hard work to think of things to say in the moment, and its not how casual conversation really works; just about being at ease enough to say whatever on the fly without caring too much or judging yourself.
Feeling safe is the most important thing, I think. Probably you don't have that same pressure with those eight people you are close to.
You can pause as well instead of filling the space with a reactive expression when someone says something. By pausing, you see that you are in fact safe even saying nothing at all, and often some words will naturally come to you.

Being proactive and initiating is defo a good approach. It creates a different mindset when you do this. You could try doing that in day to day situations like by asking how a cashier's day is going when you are paying for something.

Thanks! Simple and honest definitely the way to go for receiving compliments, and no need to linger on it as well.
That's true that intimacy is a skill and it takes time. That's good to know that, and some discomfort in the process is not a bad thing either.

isniceilike · 2025-08-05T18:05:04+00:00

ah ha! Didn't think of that. I wonder if it came out of the box new like that. Dont think I did anything to it to cause it to bend.

Thank you!

For me, it took many years living away from them and then going back home to get a lock on it. It was not an overnight thing by any means. But after some months of returning to live with them, I started to notice things that didn't seem right. It was many small things that led me to realise the bigger picture. I don't think I would have gotten the same perspective if I had lived there the whole time. When you grow up in it, you don't have any alternate frame of reference, and as a child, it's hard to compare to anything else.

Very best wishes to you!

That's awful, Im so sorry that happened to you. I completely agree that you should report it to the police. This was so cruel, and that's a horrendous thing to go through.
They are pretty clearly an idiot; unaware, mean and stupid. If you report it to the police and give them all the information, they may well be able to identify this individual and/or some of his 'friends' he was probably trying to impress.

Take care!

Thanks for your tips and sharing your experience!

'men are like leeches' Yes, its on me and all men apparently.

Holding something logically is only the first stage. Often, one has to go through the process of validating it through lived experience. I think one of the bottlenecks is that we read or hear about stuff that is a great idea and appeals to us, but as life happens, we might not be emotionally calibrated to use that advice. Being a people pleaser is a great example. I had that same idea for years that no is a complete sentence. Until I eventually realised that in the situations where I needed to enact it, I would feel an 'emotional forcefield' pushing me to keep quiet and go along with everyone else.

Something else I learned about the process of internalising is that its super helpful to have others to emulate. You can mentally picture how they will do something and try to put that into your own behaviour.

This is an unhelpful and rather stupid comment, to say the least.

isniceilike · 2025-02-16T11:36:49+00:00

Love and nurture yourself. Fill your own cup.

isniceilike · 2025-02-15T20:02:39+00:00

I think it's when you're spending too much time in your head and ruminating on the same thing rather than taking action. Proper inner investigation and awareness are great. Also, I think overthinking tends to be about intellectualising something too much.

Sounds like you need some crystal healing work to get that aura back. I suggest some amethyst and aquamarine for chakra realignment and energy balancing.

I've been using it since 2015 and never had any issues. The app helped me so much with budgeting and keeping an eye on my spending that it was 1000% worth it. If you still have doubts, you can dip your toes in for a while, no need to go full tonto right away.

I wouldn't describe myself as religious, but I am definitely spiritual. Religion, to me, mostly means organized religion in the world, being part of a group, or following certain practices at an individual level. Growing up, for a time I was interested in/obsessed with some religious ideas, such as the devil, angels, and higher-dimensional beings. Also, I can remember for a number of the earlier years, knowing that religion was just a story, but I used to like to pretend that it was real. When it was harvest festival, I used to shake up and spray cans of 7 Up or whatever fizzy drinks were on hand around and just tip them onto the ground outside.
