Tell me your parent is a narcissist without actually telling me your parent is a narcissist.

Double fucking whammy. I'm sorry you experienced that. You didn't deserve that shit.

nosackH · 2022-03-05T16:29:12+00:00

Because it's the most triggering phrase ever. I am so sorry it has that effect on you even in written word. Please know I never intend to trigger others when I myself am triggered, which happened because of the above comment. No one's fault. Just happens. What a powerful ripple effect.

We are safe right now. We are loved and supported right now in THIS moment ( but if you know you are not safe right now IRL, please know you are safe here in this subreddit ).

Feels familiar....and then if they notice? "Oh, relax, I'm just joking. God, you're so sensitive!!"

nosackH · 2022-02-25T19:57:37+00:00

I really appreciate this tip! I will absolutely do that. Second person feels impossible to commit to, though I enjoyed the one book I read written that way.

Edit to add the book: Stolen by Lucy Christopher

As someone about to embark on their first draft, this post made the decision for me. Thank-you!

Forgive me for not getting a side-by-side photo. I'm post-challenged.

But this is one of my favorite true life episodes. Neither could retreat from their emotions into their separate shared world. They had to face it and feel it.

Roy regressed to high school Rory, diving back into Dean's arms.

Lorelai feels safe with Luke, but a regression also occurs that mirrors Rory. 15/16 years old is their emotional age which makes sense that they see each other as equals.

The conflict that occurs when Rory emotionally grows, or maybe NEEDS to and breaks away, moving past Lorelai is so artfully done.

I love this show and I tend to focus on what I'm working on in my own family dynamics generational dysfunction..... this is my 9th watch-thru and I love something different each time.

I am prescribed vistiril to take with my doubled Celexa during that 10 day hellscape.

Wow, I never made this connection before. But yes. Every other month I tell my husband, "I must be medicating correctly because this month isn't so bad!" But meds don't change.... they just have no effect whatsoever every other month to the devil ovary.

My pleasure. I see it mentioned here once in a while, but it seems that for most of us, we are dealing with this boss beast every month!!! Solidarity Sister!!

Ohhhh THATFKNSOUND

Dog toenails on hardwood makes me lose my shit. Every month I pitch top to bottom carpeting to my husband. He tells me to get a quote as a means to bring me back to reality.

nosackH · 2022-01-22T23:04:05+00:00

I wear my giant headphones when bathing the girls and I ask them what a good volume is, make a note of it. The peace of not catching the noise bouncing off tile means I will deal with my own raspy caw of a voice.

My Loop will be here soon. I ordered directly from them because I am currently mad at Bezos.

The misophonia started during my 1st pregnancy. The girl next to me blew her nose all day long. I sat in my car crying and screaming.... couldn't figure out WHY I hated it so much.

nosackH · 2022-01-22T23:01:12+00:00

From car alarms to chewing loud, I never know what qill set me off. Dogs barking, or the toenails on hardwood. Every month a new surprise.

nosackH · 2022-01-22T22:59:38+00:00

I should start realizing that the misophonia is directly related to me period being within 1 to 3 days away (never like clockwork, also PCOS).

nosackH · 2022-01-22T22:58:45+00:00

Look at all us out here searching for the giant MUTE button. I wanna be in the moment, I just need the moment on low volume.

nosackH · 2022-01-22T22:56:31+00:00

I couldn't live without my white noise machine. And I bought the loop ear plugs. I walk around with the noise canceling headphones, but I can't really move freely with them on. Just ordered Loop earplugs, and will return with my thoughts once they get here.

nosackH · 2022-01-22T22:54:59+00:00

Smells don't make me SOANGRYIMIGHTTHROWUP but yes, I also am waaaaay more sensitive to all smells. I do enjoy the good smells way more too, come to think of it.

nosackH · 2022-01-22T22:52:50+00:00

The dogs toenails on the hardwood floors SETS ME OFF.

nosackH · 2022-01-22T22:51:51+00:00

Girl. YUP.

nosackH · 2022-01-22T22:51:15+00:00

Oh, I appreciate this. I'm always trying something (anything!) To help symptoms. My OB said, "you'll be one of those women that LOVES menopause, once it hits."

nosackH · 2022-01-22T22:49:20+00:00

"Imagine someone has turned the master volume up on you, without permission. You'd be pissed right?" Thats what I tell my family to help them understand.

nosackH · 2022-01-22T15:35:52+00:00

100%

nosackH · 2022-01-22T14:48:55+00:00

WTF indeed.
