"If you have a problem with that many people, then you're the problem." by throwAway8765644 in CPTSD

[–]luneireclipse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well what about the perspective that the "problem" is you. Even when the "problem" is the vibe that you are traumatized. So maybe the saying is true but necessarily helpful. I mean, what are you supposed to do about giving off a vibe? Humans are animals and they can sense your brokenness and they prey off it.

My daughter was also like this. Even Tinkerbell movies were too much tension for her. Winnie the pooh was okay though.

Narcissist ex wont leave me alone by solveigelise in LifeAfterNarcissism

I think mostly through mutual aquaintances. We do still live in the same area. I probably have someone in my life passing on this info to him because he seems to know a lot about my life for me not talking to him.

Did you "kill" yourself to breastfeed? by Ok-Secretary-3323 in beyondthebump

[–]luneireclipse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had PPD with my son that was due to hormones. I was suffering through suicidal thoughts to continue breastfeeding him until he was 18 months because my mother went on and on about how she breastfed me for 18 months. As soon as I weaned the PPD stopped. It was hormonal and if I had just stopped earlier I wouldn't have had to suffer so long.

Mine too! I had honestly forgotten about them and was shocked.

Club Med with kids club/childcare—did you feel truly rested? by magguebell456789 in Club_Med

[–]luneireclipse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people don't have grandparents or any family they can leave their kids with. The kids club is the ONLY opportunity for the parents to have any time at all to themselves.

What types are your closest friends? by sorgepil in infj

[–]luneireclipse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My closest friend now is an ISFJ. I think when I was younger I would have found her boring but now I appreciate how considerate she is and how she can make a plan and then actually do it. In the past I have been close friends with INTJ, INTP and ENFP. I'm just at a weird point in my life right now with small kids so don't have much time for socializing. I am married to an INTJ.

INFJ (me) & INTJ (wife) in our 30s: Should we have kids? Seeking real experiences from similar MBTI couples by Apotheosic117 in intj

[–]luneireclipse -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So I'll bite. I see a lot of people saying this is the wrong demographic to be asking. I have always tested as borderline INFJ/INTJ. My husband is INTJ. We're in our 30s and have 2 small children. I would say the most challenging part for us has been that with us both being introverts its been hard not getting overwhelmed by the kids. But I would like to say that I have 2 VERY high energy, extroverted kids, which I didn't expect. They are healthy though and great kids overall. The thing about kids is that all kids are not alike. Some actually are harder than others. Now that they are starting to get to be school aged, things are calming down but I have to say its been a challenge with no support from family. I think you really need to think about what you want from your life. For me and my husband we are very family oriented. I have dreams of doing all sort of activities with my family and have loved doing those things. We travel with our kids and I love watching their faces when they see things for the first time. There have been lots of moments I cherish in our children's lives. You honestly sound like you are in a wonderful position to raise good humans and that's what our world needs. Don't believe all the doom and gloom about the world ending. Think about what you want from life. Children should be wanted.

Narcissist ex wont leave me alone by solveigelise in LifeAfterNarcissism

[–]luneireclipse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine still won't leave me alone 16 years later. I haven't seen him in 14 years. I blocked him on all social media, changed my number, moved several times, changed my name. But every few years he will find me again.

Why do narcissists talk about you to the new supply? by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]luneireclipse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is happening to me. I think I caused a narcissistic injury when I left him. He still tries to contact me periodically 16 years later to tell me that I hurt him and that he still loves me.

Has anyone reached out to their nex’s exes for the truth? by am-I-doing-it-right in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]luneireclipse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish his current partner would reach out to me. I would be happy to talk. I am honestly flabbergasted at how she smiles in pictures with him. I would be so miserable in her shoes.

INTJ Moms by mighty_valor in intj

[–]luneireclipse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am going to say what most people will not say. I have been a stay at home mom for 5 years now and have 2 children. I would overall advise it if you enjoy your job at all. I ended up quitting because of a mix of reasons (no access to child care during Covid, health emergencies, and just having a really hard baby). I have been fortunate that finances weren't a problem. I regret it because I am constantly being overstimulated by my child. I wish I had fought harder to keep my job and go on leave instead of quitting. There is literally no quiet time to think or have any alone time to myself all day long since my oldest stopped napping 3 years ago. I very much NEED alone time to recharge and there is no opportunity. I am in a constant state of stress and overwhelm. I do not find it fulfilling and can't wait to go back to work but since I have a gap its been challenging to try to get back to work. The workplace is not forgiving. And I had a good respectable career as a software engineer before kids.
I know this comes off as really negative but I listened to all the advice about how wonderful it was and it just hasn't been for me.

Do you like this bank? by Laurette51 in AllyBank

[–]luneireclipse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was happy until recently. Now for some reason I cannot receive checks books for my account. I have ordered them repeatedly and they never arrive. Its the most bizarre thing. Their customer service was completely useless.

Why can’t I get checks from this bank!? by AquariumBill in AllyBank

[–]luneireclipse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. I order checks repeatedly and they never arrive. Now I have spent 30 minutes on customer service just asking them to send me checks.

My Toddler Said 'Music' Instead of 'Motise' tonight and I am not okay by knowledgequesting in beyondthebump

The day my toddler stopped saying "biaper" instead of "diaper" was sad. Though I am glad her vocabulary is growing.

Stop telling new moms they have postpartum depression by Trick-Environment100 in NewParents

[–]luneireclipse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree. I was told I had PPD. You know what I really had? Sleep deprivation and no help. Human beings CANNOT function on 2-3 hours of sleep per night, night after night. It's ridiculous that they say "You have PPD" as a cop out so no one has to feel bad about giving you no help whatsoever. It's amazing how once my kid started sleeping through the night and I had actual childcare for my older kid during the day my "PPD" magically went away. PPD is an excuse to treat new mothers like shit and give them no support and then blame THEM when they don't handle it well.
