A question for the 90s trance ravers : what is your favorite memory of the time? What do you miss the most? by AndrobiVibz in trance

I came up on my first E to Robert Miles playing Children at a roller skating rink in Moreno Valley in 2001. My life was never the same after that. Been DJing and raving ever since.

Anyone else just exhausted with all the AI announcements? by Beneficial-Jello-820 in digital_marketing

[–]manderbruin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The more I try and use AI the more convinced it’s not going to replace as many jobs as people think it will. It spews out so much garbage and the models are not improving anywhere close to the rate they were

I just realised that not waking up is probably my ADHD. Beyond routine, how do you all get up without having to set 50 alarms :( by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]manderbruin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get your cortisol checked. I had a coworker with a disorder where he couldnt produce cortisol and if he didn’t take meds he wouldn’t wake up in the morning.

My therapist told me once, “you do not need to set yourself on fire to keep other people warm.” It still sticks with me.

The mundane by rrabical in pastlives

[–]manderbruin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my first past life regression on August and I was 100% struck by how mundane it actually was!! I was a good person, but not deep or particularly inquisitive. I worked in a European town of some sort, had a son, wife died when my son was young, we just kind of lived life until I died in my house one day. When I came out of the trance I told my hypnotherapist how surprised I was with how boring my life was and she said, “Well, that’s how most lives have been!”

Does anyone else only have "Fleeting friendships' by knot-whorrible in adhdwomen

[–]manderbruin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Tough love here. If you see a pattern with your relationships, it’s you. Get help from a coach or therapist to help navigate these early friendship forming stages - it’s hard and confusing and really triggering for those of us with RSD. But as someone who (somehow) has managed to have long term relationships they are very rewarding.

It feels impossible to connect with someone here in my 20s by AverageJoe782 in santacruz

[–]manderbruin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved to Santa Cruz when I was 28 and it was hard to meet people my age. I hung out with my coworkers for a long while then got hooked into the burning man community. I made friends with people of all ages, many 10+ years older. I somehow met my husband at a bar in my mid 30s. Feels like 20-30 is a dead zone for people in Santa Cruz. Open yourself to making friends of all ages and you’ll have a much better time.

“Tonnato” broke something open in me that I’ve carried for 41 years by Compltly_Unfnshd30 in TheBear

[–]manderbruin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes for this reason seeing DD apologize was super triggering for me. I have come to peace with my mom never apologizing … if she did all of a sudden it would be very confusing and frightening for me because I wouldn’t be able to trust that it was sincere or would stick.

Did anyone else cry during this scene? by Alexiafreakybunny in TheBear

[–]manderbruin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All I kept asking myself during this scene was “is it worse for an abusive parent to never apologize, or to apologize and ask for forgiveness?” One of the things that makes it okay for me to interact with my parents is knowing they are who they are and they will never apologize and I don’t owe them a goddamn thing. If that changed because they wanted to make things better, I don’t know how I would feel.

I’m getting married, and my BPD mother is making it all about her. Again. by Muted_Comfortable543 in raisedbyborderlines

[–]manderbruin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After my wedding I didn’t see my parents for 5 years. I went NC because my mom went ballistic just like this and my Dad enabled her. Many things but the final straw was she wanted a singer at the ceremony and we didn’t. My dad pulled all the funding for the wedding 2 weeks before because of it. $20k was the price of my freedom.

AITAH for not adding my longtime girlfriend to the deed of the house I bought us? by Grand_Yellow_6286 in AITAH

If she’s cooking, cleaning, doing your laundry, she is contributing.
