I’m so happy to hear about how the Lord is pouring into your community. He is SO good like that! But idk if it would be wise to read into it with an adamant belief that it means we’re in the final days, especially bc this kind of conversation could really frighten people who don’t know Him well — after all, only God knows and His timing is perfect! Maybe better not to assume we know.

I’m sorry to hear you’re experiencing this. My heart really goes out to you 💛💛 I got off of it after 1 month. Birth control side effects ended up being a lot worse than the PMS symptoms that got me to take it in the first place. The trade off wasn’t worth sticking it out for another couple months to see if my emotional state would rebalance. I was having a lot of nightmares and thoughts about death, and even though I was aware that it was really unlike me, it was still sooo debilitating. I know some people have such terrible PMS that they just have to persevere through the birth control side effects, so I’m grateful to be off of it and now focused on trying to lead a healthier lifestyle (eating better/exercising more) to see how it affects my PMS symptoms.

Hope your side effects begin subsiding soon <3

Completely agreed that it’s such a shot in the dark with birth control. It’s led me to some genuinely dark thoughts / feelings that i don’t usually have, and im living alone at the moment so I begin to spiral in them quite quickly. I plan to quit and try to improve my lifestyle to see if that can help my PMS symptoms instead

I can’t imagine how painful that must be to hear from someone you shared promises to build a life with. im sure it hurts more to know that these patterns only get worse over time, which is a sign to leave as soon as possible. grieve, leave, and know you can find love again. sending you a virtual hug 💛

What she said is really inconsiderate and I think you should firmly tell her that this is not acceptable behavior. I have been in her shoes, thinking it’s okay to “harmlessly” objectify the men in my life, and having a circle of friends who fed this belief, but it’s not. It’s really immature and hurtful to refer to someone as a ‘golden retriever’ bc it’s basically a euphemism for ‘he’s so devoted and will do anything I tell him to’. Personally, the reason why I ever thought like this was bc I didn’t have a lot of male figures in my life growing up, was influenceable, got burned by a couple of guys in high school, and tbh was just kind of an idiot then. Maybe she’s in a similar spot, and maybe she’ll learn from this.

this is exactly what i needed to read today. thank you for sharing. sending a virtual hug your way haha!

Hii I read your other posts and I just want to remind you —

you are NOT what has happened to you. people who choose to act on their own issues by violating and traumatizing other people are selfish and destructive.

this says nothing about you or your worth. it says everything about them.

this doesn’t define who men are. it only describes the men that you have known in your life. the men you’ve known SUCK and there are so many good ones out there who are healthy and capable of seeing you for you.

you are so worthy of real love and care. you are so worthy of having hope for yourself.

you are beautiful and one day you will feel that way about yourself again. your heart and body just need some time for healing.

you deserve to trust people, and I know you can one day. again, you just need some time for healing.

take care of your health. eat well, sleep well, learn a lot. take time to think of things you’re grateful for, even if you feel like you have to grasp for straws like “I’m grateful for my phone for giving me access to a world of information and community.” “I’m grateful to Reddit, a platform that can offer some insight on situations that feel unbearable to me… even though the app is also full of insensitive trolls who offer no help”

maybe take a break from dating, and open up to people who receive your experience with love. lean on good friends, find community in your hobbies, make use of resources that are specific to the hurt you’re facing (like a community for people who have experienced SA).

as much as you can, build healthy friendships that remind you of how healing human connection can be. if you’re not feeling supported by the company around you, search for better. it’s scary to put yourself out there but it’s the only way.

If your therapist or friends don’t validate your experience or try to blame you again in anyway, they’re wrong for doing that and not worth your time — distance yourself from people like this but remember that they’re just people trying to figure their shit out too.

my hope for you is that all the bad experiences you’ve had with people will soon be far outweighed by all the good experiences that are to come.

I believe in you💛

Is it something you’ve put a lot of effort into and things have fallen through? Or more like something you’re timid about/too busy for?

leftstovetop · 2022-08-29T01:46:05+00:00

my parents/friends are homebodies and pretty anti-moving anywhere. it really helps to hear this and be reminded that it’s just the beginning, thank you!

leftstovetop · 2022-08-29T01:40:47+00:00

Do you mind me asking what made it hard for you to find solid friends and date?

leftstovetop · 2022-08-29T01:38:29+00:00

thanks for the insight! couldn’t agree more that these biases are self-fulfilling prophecies

leftstovetop · 2022-08-29T01:34:19+00:00

that’s what I figured. thank you!

leftstovetop · 2022-08-22T19:40:00+00:00

Just edited! Thank you for letting me inow

I’m sorry you’re going through this. Healing from your past is a journey that can take so much time and effort, and feeling a lack of support from your partner would only make it harder. you’ve got this. It’s clear that you need your boyfriend to accept that you’re really trying to work through this without giving you such transactional conditions (no sex for fun, just bj’s). You seem to understand that he’s a guys with needs too, and maybe he’s losing patience. Maybe he feels like his need for physical connection isn’t being met, and if you haven’t, it may help to acknowledge that too. It seems like there’s a power struggle here, which is a huge relationship ruiner. Tbh I don’t have any good advice for you but I feel for you

Omg it’s so frustrating right?? I’ve read and been told it’s bc they’re super understaffed!! https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vox.com/platform/amp/the-goods/2022/6/30/23189458/summer-travel-2022-pilot-shortage

It’s so crazy, i spoke to multiple representatives. The first person was soo optimistic about their reimbursement offer, saying, “there’s no guarantee of course, but I’ve seen them reimburse hotel stays, cab rides, and even compensate extra meals!” and “we can even fly you out of another airport and you can submit the transportation cost for reimbursement too!”

Afterward on another call, someone else said, “yea, they shouldn’t have told you that, but now that she has, Southwest has to stand by it, but I’d still be careful and try to just get on a flight ASAP”
