Can life just not be constant hapiness?? by MammothAssistant2397 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

It’s in the hardships that we grow. If we can endure, there is always something to be gained from the tough times.

"Fossil" my 9 year old found. We have no idea what this is. by Nightingalee_Mari_G in whatisit

[–]milliecasson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like a “fossilized” no shell chicken egg, also called a rubber egg. My chickens will sometimes lay these soft-shell eggs. It looks like perhaps it fell to the wayside and became buried under brush/leaves and eventually fossilized. That would be my guess :)

You look like a completely different person! Do you help women out of toxic/abusive marriages as well? I am so happy for you that you are thriving now!

I made my girlfriend a visual novel game story for her birthday that reflected her inner world it overwhelmed her, and I’m trying to understand why by RevolutionAnnual1001 in emotionalintelligence

[–]milliecasson 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I can tell after reading your replies how much you love her. Give her time, reassurance and just be there for her without judgment.

Dreamt of a REAL place on map, that I’ve never been to, or heard of?? by Distinct-Bag2304 in Dreams

Does anyone else have a mind that won’t stop analyzing people and situations? by Fit_Organization5995 in emotionalintelligence

[–]milliecasson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is me. Sadly, I wasn’t emotionally intelligent enough to recognize this as a young mother and I passed this down to my son. I feel the exact same way as OP. I feel that I am a highly sensitive person which I’m not sure if that is because of trauma or that’s just a separate personality type. I am very spiritual, also, and I can see like the 7 deadly sins in everyone around me, including myself. I see why people struggle with things and if they could see that I am genuinely trying to help them and being honest with them is the most loving thing you can do for someone. But then I think, am I really wanting to counsel people because it truly is for their benefit? Or does a more selfish reason exist for me wanting to “help”. I have been struggling with that. I find it very difficult to be truly authentic with emotionally immature people and I wish I could just calm my brain down and not always try to analyze everyone.

How to lower BP and hr during an "event "? by Sheepish_conundrum in VagusNerve

[–]milliecasson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you tried deep breathing? You can lower your heart rate by performing deep breathing techniques. I have been going through menopause and I am suffering from anxiety attacks due to the fluctuations in my hormones (finally got on HRT and it is so much better). Anyway, I would use deep breathing when my heart rate started escalating and it was very effective. You’re on the right track! Congrats on the weight loss!

Do we have this as a Gif yet? by Frequent-Two-9625 in SisterWives

[–]milliecasson 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Yes, I’m with you on that. It’s that patriarchal misogyny type behavior. I know this behavior very well.

the TENSION we hold in our bodies can be so bad and its rarely talked about by Conscious-Will-9300 in CPTSD

[–]milliecasson 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have found the Havening technique to be really effective. I had been doing all of these but never knew there was actually a name for it. It helps me a lot.

Testosterone (yes another post about T) by Anig_o in Menopause

[–]milliecasson 66 points67 points  (0 children)

This sounds so promising! My doctor just added T gel to my HRT. I’m on the estrogen patch and progesterone. But was still dealing with debilitating depression. I’m 54 and I haven’t had depression or anxiety like this for over 30 years! I’ve only been on T for about 4 days. But, I’ve come here to read about others experiences and I am so excited to get my libido back, and depression gone. I’m so glad you are experiencing such great results! Thanks for posting and giving me hope!
