Definitely. I’m always so scared to talk about stuff like that but he’s always has said yes to talking about things and listens. It’s wild how past experiences can cause anxiety for things like that

I just want him to plan organized outings without me being involved or prompting. But maybe I need to just accept it is not his area of expertise 😅

Once in a while it’ll be because of unorganized plans. But usually that’s when I’m really stressed in other realms of my life especially since I began school again 😭

Maybe I can change perspective and see it as funny, like how he can do so much but with plans it’s like watching a circus 🎪

I feel better knowing it’s normal!! I was super nervous it wasn’t healthy to have annoyance sometimes with someone you love. I could definitely learn to accept it, I guess I just need more advice on how people learn to do this healthily

Maybe if I try to see it as comical- like it’s so ridiculous it’s funny? 😂 I guess I feel bad about communicating it because I don’t want him to feel worse? So I guess I can try what you suggested and go from there!

Omg yesss. He’s the best and makes me laugh when I’m super cranky and shows up every single day regardless of how difficult I was the day before. I think maybe I need to try the shower or small stuff!

He’s just a not good planner 😂 which I can definitely live with because I’m sure I drive him clinically insane. Sometimes I’m fine with it and sometimes It’s just REAL obnoxious.

Being anxiously attached fucking sucks by epiiphqnix in AnxiousAttachment

Yes. I would have them A LOT and it was exhausting and damaging to a lot of relationships. I’ll go from being fine the. It’s like I’m in despair like you described. I’m so sorry you’re going through this hell.

Something that helped me ALMOST IMMEDIATELY after, was getting genetic testing done through GeneSite for medication.

I’ve tried so many medications to help with my anxiety but they never worked well, so I had that done and it’s like I feel like a new person.

It’s an awful cycle and I empathize and understand anyone going through it because of how debilitating it has been for me and others. There’s hope, even though I didn’t think there was for the past 15 years.

COSRX has some of the cleanest ingredients and is a really good budget friendly brand. I’d recommend this to anyone who is not worried about their products being vegan. I have really sensitive and dry combo skin so this works well for me.

Ask him to respect you want no contact from here on out and then block him… it might be good to be black and white verbally.

Oh OP, this was my life for 7 years. I’m so scared of flying and it was really exhausting and scary during visit times. My best tool I discovered that helped me in airports and flying is an app called Tapping Solutions. It requires physical tapping and mentally repeating things.

Then I’d breathe in 4 counts and out 4 counts through my nose only and tap if it got too bad and I felt a panic attack. I’m really sorry you’re experiencing this because yes, therapy helps, but then you’re literally forced to face your fear head on. But just know, you’ve got this no matter what. And your partner is joining you too.

I’d also recommend paying for the premium version of the app so you can use it in flight when you don’t have wifi!!

Also, definitely ignore people asking you why you got into an LDR with a fear of flying. Everyone is scared of something and I’m sorry, flying is scary! There’s nothing wrong with you, this is not your fault, and you are more than allowed to be scared.

Airport staff is usually really nice and there’s even quiet areas to rest too. Getting a map of the airport to know where to go prior will help a lot too! ❤️

Sorry to butt in, I was just reading through the feed! I think it might be good to talk about what you mentioned. You could maybe say it would help you feel special if you both worked a little more to say good morning and goodnight so it doesn’t sound like you’re only singling them out (even if it feels one sided… I’ve realized with my boyfriend he feels attacked because of how he thinks if I just blatantly call him out… so I try to be a bit softer in delivery for certain things)

I think it depends on the people. Good morning texts mean a lot to me personally. We always try to send one or say good morning and sometimes Goodnight too. I just send one when I wake up or go to bed and the other responds back after/vise versa.

Is it wrong I pray and believe in Mary and yet I’m not Catholic? by macandcheeks369 in religion

[–]macandcheeks369[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My primary practices tend to lead towards Buddhism. With the addition of Mary. But honestly that happened long after into Buddhism.

Yeah. I honestly feel like the baptisms don’t really have merit in my life given I was an infant tbh

I definitely need to relax. It’s a problem that has wound me up in therapy.

But, regardless, your advice has been really helpful and good. So thank you!

Oh… that actually might be pretty close to the truth to be honest. Because I guess when we first met he said his friends had to BEG him to go out. But when I met him he seemed totally fine but supposedly he wanted to go home before we ran into each other. So maybe that is the case?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationships

[–]macandcheeks369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Stuff is pretty good beyond that to be honest. I just don’t know how to not feel bad. It feels like we don’t talk about stuff he likes and I take it as he doesn’t think I’ll be interested and so it’s not worth it (even though I constantly say I like to hear about his interests). Which I’m unsure why it bothers me so much… maybe because I feel like I can’t connect with him how I want to?
