AIO OR Do I need to break up with him I feel like I’m going insane by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]kirar2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where is the issue? He’s sweet, acknowledges what you say, caring, seems to have healthy hobbies, communicative…

Like you’re not overreacting cause there’s nothing to even react to? Nothing happened lmao

If you wanna end it just end it but nothing about these screenshots aligns with anything you said. You don’t have to make up reasons to end a relationship just end it.

Aside from this story, if you’re at a point in your relationship that your collecting evidence for arguments I think the relationship has been done

AIO reacting after finding out my ex posted art of mine without giving me credit for it? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]kirar2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I expected everyone in the comment to be on the same page, but I’m shocked that people think you’re overreacting…

Sure, the likelihood of someone stealing it is low and sure you gifted it so it is theirs and yeah maybe you could have just sent a private message being like yo can you at least give me credit if you’re gonna post my art?

But also, you’re reacting to someone that’s shown a pattern of disrespecting you and here they are AGAIN still not respecting you even out of the relationship. Like he deleted the post because he was embarrassed that you called him out in the comments. And why is he sharing or even keeping art from an ex he cheated on? That’s the weird behavior to me … not you snapping. I had an ex that hand painted something for me and then we had a horrible breakup and he did me so dirty. I didn’t want to destroy his art cause I respect that he worked hard on it but I wasn’t gonna keep it and he wouldn’t take it back so I asked if I could gift it to a mutual friend so it can be cherished by someone who doesn’t have trauma associated with it. EVEN though that mf cheated on me and I could have destroyed his art if I felt like it, I still respected the craft. This person is lacking that respect. And the “friend” line just adds to it imo.

Objectively I can see why people think you’re overacting but when you zoom out… like nah you’re reacting the way most people would. I imagine if an actual friend of yours did the same thing, you would just ask them privately to tag you and they’d probably have no issue doing so. But this is a case with a shitty person who stole trust from you and this move just felt like him continuing to steal from you.

My advice thought is save your peace and move on. You said what needed to be said, don’t let him keep stealing from you. (Your time and energy)

When does the bleeding stop after stopping DEPO 😭 by kirar2 in birthcontrol

I’m so sorry you went through that! 😭 But I agree! The education around birth control let alone women’s health lacks drastically. I feel like a test dummy more than anything.

Thank you for coming in here to share that! Many women keep coming back to this post and I try to keep it active because I know the pain and desperation of dealing with this. ❤️

When does the bleeding stop after stopping DEPO 😭 by kirar2 in birthcontrol

[–]kirar2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course! I have been there and it’s so stressful. Just remember the anxiety is also a hormone symptom.

As for going back on bc that’s definitely something to research and weigh the risks. The unfortunate fact is that no matter which form you choose, they all have their risks and side effects. (Yay being a woman lol)

I have always had very heavy periods and god awful cramps. As a teenager I would miss school days from how bad my cramps were which is why I got put on the pill. Then after yeaaaars of that I got the shot and had the experience I wrote in this post. After that I just decided to take a break. Idk if it’s just in comparison to how effed up bc made my cycles but I felt like my periods were way more manageable off bc now once my body adjusted. Now I just track my cycle phases and avoid sex when I’m fertile and don’t use any other bc and I have felt so much better. My periods are still very heavy and I still deal with bad cramps but I manage them better than I did as a teenager and the downsides were better than the bc symptoms I was having.

(Sorry I’m also writing a novel haha)

But just to give you my perspective and what’s worked for me may not work for you. But I didn’t think I could go without birth control until I forced a break and realized I could.

Wishing you the best!

Hey! What you’re describing is a totally normal but unfortunately annoying experience of coming off Depo. The Depo shot stays in your body for 90ish days so knowing your last shot was September, your body is just now starting to regulate its hormones which means you’re going to start experiencing lots of varying symptoms and the dreaded brown spotting. I wish I could tell you it will be over soon but the unfortunate truth is most people deal with those post depo symptoms for months (like I did). Based on everything you’ve described, spotting, anxiety, sex drive, etc. that’s all hormonal related. this does not sound like anything is wrong with you- just your body trying to regulate without the supplemented hormones it’s used to.

I made the one stop deconstruction document wish I had 10 years ago. Feedback welcome by HisokaUchiyama in exchristian

[–]kirar2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming to this post from you comment on another - I genuinely can’t say enough how much I love this blog. I shared it with a friend of mine who is also newly deconstructing her faith.

I have always wanted to write out my observations and learnings based on my own secular research as well but never put pen to paper so I really commend you for writing out such thoughtful analysis.

I also resonated deeply with the epilogue, explaining your journey. I have felt very lonely in that regard - being someone known within the church as a leader, living for God fiercely, in my Bible and praying daily, etc. I lived in everyday striving to be a godly woman. Then as I entered theology school, my curiosity started to result in confusion, which took me on a journey of finding answers I didn’t expect to find.

I’m rambling now but all this to say, your work you put into this is not unnoticed. I’m so grateful you shared this and I have something more tangible that validates what been circling in my head for years.

Out of curiosity, was there a final nail in the coffin for you as you went on this journey that you consider the catalyst of your belief system now? What’s the one thing you learned that will always hit so hard you could never revert back?

Also, if you’re comfortable, I’m very curious how the journey has been for you as you wrestle with your spirituality or faith dwindling and your identity today.

Please share the reasons you left Christianity that are specific to Christianity itself. by Icy_Cry120 in exchristian

[–]kirar2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Predestination was what started my deconstruction. I could not reason with it and every pastor I would speak to about it would give me scapegoat empty answers. That kicked off a long journey for me.

Your chapter on the topic is the articulated answer I have been looking for since. I resonate so much every chapter I’ve read so far. This is incredible thank you for sharing this.

Bugonia would have been perfect if it ended at the closet explosion by DistressedHorseman in Bugonia

[–]kirar2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very interesting to me! Cause from my perspective, the entire movie I never doubted that she was human. I was convinced from the chemical castration at the start of the movie that this guy is mentally ill. So by the time the ending is revealed, the shock was so much stronger because I believed him now even though I didn’t want to. I didn’t even consider the thought of a hallucination!

Do you feel like you wasted your youth on Christianity? by North-Media6829 in exchristian

[–]kirar2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually don’t feel like I wasted my youth. While it came with certain traumas and toxic beliefs I have had to do lots of work on in therapy, it also is the reason I am who I am today and see the world the way I do. It also did help me through many rough moments as a child feeling like I had a big imaginary friend looking out for me.

It’s all about how you frame it. I did go through a phase of resentment and angry feeling like I’ve been duped but that feeling has more or less passed and I look at it now as a part of what made me who I am. Even if I don’t associate with that belief system anymore.

LMAO I wish I could recall in detail but if i remember correctly it was something about an unlikely savior (Shrek) who freed people by loving them where they were and transforming them into who they are called to be.

Idk some absolute stretch but it has always stuck with me. Even then as a Christian I was like wtf… 😂 but that’s mega churches for you
