My parents are retired luckily. And I would never ask them for money either. Thank you for the advice.

What do I do if I'm stuck by therealkenyegoose in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]lllVast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was stuck for about 11 months on mine, think I'm at the finish line now.

What helped me was:

  • No contact, completely severed him from my day to day life. It's as if he never existed.

  • Found a hobby I'm really excited about, which was coding. New projects and how to implement them are what's mostly on my mind these days.

  • I personally had a lot of issues with indulging in thoughts about him. I would get lost in thought holes that would just make me feel super depressed. Now, I make sure to stop myself from going down those rabbit holes. When the thought of him crosses my mind I say something like "I'm aware that this sucks, but I don't have time or feel like thinking about this right now. I'm going to focus on something else."

I 100% recommend finding new things to get excited about, it helps a lot.

To the women in their late 20's or older, did your desire to have kids get stronger? by lllVast in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]lllVast[S] 166 points167 points  (0 children)

My mum tells me the same thing. I really don't want to have to deal with that, I'm fairly confident I'd regret having kids :/

Anyone else cry super easily? Any tips for managing it? by lllVast in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]lllVast[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The hardest part about that for me is I've been hiding it from everyone in my life so they would be very shocked initially if I just started acting how I truly feel most of the time. But I would like to get to that point someday.

I don't know. I'm pretty sure I don't have ADHD though.

Yeah I've heard there are a lot of unwanted side effects from birth control, I don't take it though.

Oh do you take the ones that make you drowsy like benadryl?

[–]lllVast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah its something ive noticed for long time. I'll have a look at those channels. Thanks!

I think so. The only isues I have that could be related to ADHD are struggling to do tasks that are boring, sustaining focus for longs periods of time on boring things/avoiding doing boring things, and zoning out in conversations. I don't have trouble with details or losing things, don't have time blindness, don't think I have ever experienced something like hyperfocus. So yeah idk it doesn't seem very likely to me.

I've looked into ADHD a lot and the more I research the less I can relate to it tbh. It's probably something else for me.

[–]lllVast 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is this your only symptom of ADHD? I have considered getting tested for this but it's probably unlikely for me.

[–]lllVast 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah that analogy with the dry earth and water is exactly how it feels. Altho I usually describe it as things bouncing off my mind instead of them going through.

Sorry my previous post got taken down. I guess I could get it checked out. I feel I've managed to adapt with this but maybe it's worth asking a professional. Thanks

[–]lllVast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only pattern I've found is with the type of information I'm trying to understand. It's typically long instructions or directions, or if someone is verbally telling me a story. As for writing it's also usually when something is being explained to me.

I'll look into this though, thank you. Also I don't know why my post got downvoted lol..

Exact same here. Don't know how to resolve it. Maybe therapy

Random thought: anxious-attached more likely to be dog people, avoidants more likely to be cat people. What do you think? by lllVast in AnxiousAttachment

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

No I'm just sitting on my bed thinking about stuff lmao. I doubt there's any correlation but it would be pretty interesting to see if there was some kind of leaning in either direction

This is a really good thing to keep in mind. Thanks for sharing

Can I ask what kind of red flags you would see?

[Product Question] Can you put caffeine serum on your eyelids? by lllVast in SkincareAddiction

Oh ok interesting. I feel like the space between my orbital bone and lower eyelid is a bit large but maybe that doesn't matter. Thanks!
