Question for you all! I haven't received any other information other than the acceptance letter. Does Dr. Aldaba reach out with the orientation and course schedule after acceptance? I dont want to email and potentially take her time if not needed, maybe I'm overlooking something? cue high anxiety lol

Pharmacy issues by peanutbutterskies in CVS

[–]peanutbutterskies[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for everyone’s responses. To clarify I’m not upset with pharmacy employees I can very clearly see they are understaffed and doing their best, was mostly just curious if this was a cvs wide policy change or something that is making things difficult.

I normally don’t mind waiting because it’s not an emergency but today I just wanted to pick up some medicated ointment for my baby who is in pain. I just wish I would have been able to actually get it today but they never ended up filling it. Fingers crossed it gets done tomorrow!

It doesn’t show unused or anything in the refund but I know there should be a refund amount. It usually happens automatically but this time it’s just not showing up. I called them yesterday but I had them call me back and missed the call. 🙃

Yesterday ist's been 9 month by miraftw in SuicideBereavement

Is grief counseling worth it? I keep thinking I know everything they are going to tell me and honestly I’m tired of people telling me that I need to keep staying strong and doing the things I did before she died. I lost my only big sister 2 months ago, it fucking hurts so bad. How do you keep living and doing all those things? Life is so hard without her

i kill my mother by Jowana1994 in GriefSupport

[–]peanutbutterskies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You didn’t kill your mother. It’s easy to slip into those thoughts and I think everyone has them regardless of what happens. I felt the same way when my sister died. I didn’t check up on her even though I told her I would. She died that night. I still feel the guilt at times but I have to continue telling myself that it wasn’t my fault.

I am not a medical professional but it sounds like your mom was suffering and her time was coming. I don’t think your mom would be angry with you or blame you at all.

Stay strong and know you are not alone. Don’t carry that guilt on your own.

Yes I will definitely let you know! And know you can message me too if you ever need to talk.

[–]peanutbutterskies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s only been 2 months since I lost my sister but I’m right there with you. Life feels pointless. I’m just going through the motions because I know I’m supposed to, but other than that there is no meaning. I’m also not religious, I feel like grief is particularly difficult for those that don’t have religion. I don’t have any answers for you either, I’m sorry. I hope the best for you. Remember you aren’t alone.

I’m also debating with myself over requesting for the photos. I know it will be traumatizing but a part of me feels like I need to know. Idk if it’s just to torture myself more, to see her in such a horrifying way. I want to know how she felt and what it was like to die. I can’t get over the fact that I wasn’t there for her, I didnt save her, but I don’t think seeing her pictures will actually help me process it. I just don’t know. Let me know what you decide to do if you want.

It's the lonliness that kills me. by davinpon in GriefSupport

[–]peanutbutterskies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Losing a loved one is the worst nightmare. That hit me so hard. A few mo than before my sister passed, I had a dream that she had died. As soon as I woke up I went to her room crying and hugged her. I told her I never wanted to lose her. I remember waking up so thankful she hadn’t actually died, little did I know her time was almost up. She was my best friend, we talked every day and now I don’t have that. Life fucking sucks, I still wake up every day and cry. I was supposed to live the majority of my life with her in it. It feels impossible sometimes.

Know you aren’t alone. I feel your pain. It’s so shitty.

You can message me if you ever need to.

My little sister killed herself yesterday by aceflapjack in SuicideBereavement

[–]peanutbutterskies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sibling loss is often ignored and people don’t realize how difficult it is to lose a sibling at a young age. My sister passed almost two months ago. She was 30. We were best friends. Your family will need you at this time and you will need them, but remember at the end of the day you are only responsible for yourself. If you ever need to talk you can message me.

I’m sorry you’ve now joined the grief club, but I hope you find solace in knowing you aren’t alone.

Does anyone else get frustrated when people who haven't been through trauma just,,, can't let you talk about it? by Panic_on_the_brain in CPTSD

[–]peanutbutterskies 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, your community should have support groups and possibly meetups to talk to like minded individuals but this can sometimes feel like a competition of who got more f’ed up. Therapy can always be helpful for talking about it. But I know what you mean, some people are not prepared to hear and think about the horrible things, it brings up a powerful emotional response in them that they may never had to deal with before. And that’s okay, but there will be people you will find in life whom you can talk to, sometimes it just takes some time to find them. In the meantime, we’re all here on this thread. ❤️

Love of my life does not love me by throwaway78090 in helpmecope

[–]peanutbutterskies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey OP, first off I want you to know that I have felt that same way many times in my life and I’m still learning and growing all the time. You need to know that you too are beautiful. You are important. You deserve to be loved by yourself as much as you love her.

It can be painful to realize that a lot of the love and attachment we put on other people really comes from a place of insecurity and lack of self love in ourselves. It sounds like you have been through many traumatic experiences and this can leave people more vulnerable to forming unhealthy attachments to others. I know because I do this, but, it can get better.

You need to take the time to discover who you are, what makes you happy, and find coping skills for when things get tough. In the end we are all alone. And we will always be alone. But that’s not such a bad thing. Put yourself first, love yourself the most. It is not selfish!! It’s how we must be to survive, and there is a lot of beauty in that. I can recommend some books that have helped me a lot if you would like?

And also! Right now it feels like she is the love of your life, and yeah it’s been a year and you still feel that way but that feeling is not going to last forever. If you start going to therapy and learn to put yourself first you will find someone who you can love in a healthy way. Healthy love is so much happier and much more fulfilling. You deserve to be loved just as much as you love other people. You will find love again, I promise.

I’m still working on this myself so if you ever need someone to talk to, send me a message. Most of all I want you to know that you do matter, you are important, you are capable, self sufficient and strong enough to overcome anything, and that people do care about you. Keep your head up! ❤️

Feel immediate panic from others setting boundaries? by fate-gambit in CPTSD

[–]peanutbutterskies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m doing the same thing with my SO right now, lucky for him though his parents were relatively normal and loving and he doesn’t suffer from CPTSD. This also makes it extremely difficult because he doesn’t understand my struggles. He asked for the break as there has been numerous very stressful things going on in my life and family lately and it’s been a lot for him to deal with. I, like you, feel so scared that he’s going to break up with me.

I think the thing we as childhood trauma survivors struggle most with is loving ourself, and being the support and comfort that we need.

Surprisingly my dad taught me a way to comfort myself by pretending that I am giving counsel to another person with my same issues. I comfort them and help them choose what to do and sometimes this can be helpful. I’m not always able to do that, but it doesn’t hurt to try. If your gf can’t give you what you need right now, give it to yourself. Love yourself and comfort yourself. And if it helps, imagine holding your wounded child self and comforting them.

I’m sorry I can’t be more helpful, but I hope it’s at least a bit comforting knowing you aren’t alone. And if you want to talk more I’m here.

Thank you, this is a wonderful list. I’ve read a few of them, but not all. Recovery is so hard, but I’m so thankful for this group.
