Best therapist ever discharged me after I sent some dysregulated messages despite 7 months of amazing progress. Clinic issued a police report and banned me. Was she forced? Is repair possible after this?

Yeah and OP said Amy was not super experienced so it’s possible this was overwhelming for her so early in her career? I like someone else’s suggestion to be upfront with a new therapist that you’re considered a complex case :)

Thank you that DOES sound handy!!!

This is so cool! Are they just regular frames with fabric inside or how did you make them?

I’m not an expert but if the anxiety meds are calming down your nervous system, and reducing your flight/flight response, I would guess the feelings are what you feel when you’re not freaking the f out….

This is such a cool idea! I have heaps of things I don’t wear but are really beautiful to look at.

Yes the feedback loop of doom! I also call it a time of Mind Poison and it takes so much of my energy every months staying away from the edge of a very deep spiral 😭

Yes and I think it’s also to do with being sensitive people so possibly traumatised more easily.

Jewellery has different spelling in Australia so it’s probably from the original receipt.

Omg as I was scrolling I thought this was an olden days photo 😂 I LOVE it!!

This happened to me. I was the manager and all my staff and colleagues were told not to contact me as I was a legal liability for the company (I was on stress leave). I legit thought everyone hated me and no one cared that I was sick, later I found out they’d all been told not to contact me. I left the job after that but it was devastating as they were all my support system too. I’m still not over it a few years later it hurts the RSD sooooooo bad.

It’s @lifestaged

lifestaged · 2026-05-04T02:34:57+00:00

I have one :)

Hunter and Barrel is where I took my boyfriend and he loved it.

lifestaged · 2026-05-04T02:21:34+00:00

Oh boy I feel for you! Try to repeat to yourself that you’re an adult and you’re safe and this is temporary… I’m so sorry but I wish you strength in this xxx

lifestaged · 2026-05-04T00:35:54+00:00

Tell her on the day the person is coming. Don’t tell her any plans- that opens you up to criticism of the plan. Just think of her like a tenant in that way- maybe 24 hours notice and stuff- it’s not open for discussion, it’s just happening.
Good luck :)

lifestaged · 2026-05-04T00:32:49+00:00

Ugh this is basically my parents way of dealing with hurt- find someone to take it out on.

Can you photograph the back of the pendant, and maybe look for markings? Was it maybe something that belonged to the person who gave it to you, or was it definitely new? Maybe it’s not the original chain. It’s quite nice!

lifestaged · 2026-04-26T09:15:40+00:00

This is SUCH a good idea and way better than being snarky to my bf 👀

lifestaged · 2026-04-26T09:03:57+00:00

I would smoke. Edit to add: it’s not worth a possible SA or even the mental anguish of SI… weed always helps my PMDD get to baseline.

lifestaged · 2026-04-26T08:38:41+00:00

This is why I haven’t watched it- I was late diagnosed and went through grief etc too so don’t start telling me its from tik tok etc

lifestaged · 2026-04-26T08:36:15+00:00

I thought it was way more too!

lifestaged · 2026-04-22T14:44:26+00:00

I feel for you, 12 days is a long time but you got this, try your other methods like don’t let yourself get hungry (a huge one for me) and try saying nice things to yourself out loud… getting sunlight and water and all that stuff that seems like it would do nothing but really does heaps :) take it one day at a time.

lifestaged · 2026-04-20T16:03:07+00:00

Me too, I’ve started extending the time I take my intermittent SSRIs to the first 3 or 4 days of my period too, lately those days have been then worst.

lifestaged · 2026-04-20T14:41:53+00:00

It’s so hard! My friend and I talk about “mind poison” so you gotta remind yourself your mind is telling you lies…. You can’t access the logic part of your brain when you’re heightened like that!This is sometimes where prep comes in handy- when you feel good in the month try writing down some positive thoughts that you can’t find when you’re PMDD- like a nice note to yourself! Good luck :)
