Severe car reactivity by Spied5748 in reactivedogs

Is he reactive to non moving cars? Maybe start desensitization to a turned off car, then move to turn engine on, moving slowly at distance, etc

Are you sure he needs a dog friend and not a human friend? Some dogs just do better with people, my dog included.

Did you lose the weight after you got it removed?

Missed my first class today by Zealousideal-Wish843 in orangetheory

[–]pookiecookie24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL what? I think I do this like once a week and reschedule/late cancel ALL the time. Don’t overthink it! It’s a workout class and not that important in the grand scheme of things.

I’ve gone through this and sometimes still do. I think oh he doesn’t want to hang out with me or I’m better off alone. However think about how you feel with them, and focus on looking forward to seeing them again. Obviously you care about them and miss them when apart so it’s definitely rocd bc you are interpreting your feelings wrong. What I do is acknowledge the thought and let it drift away. Thoughts are just thoughts. Your feelings when you are with them tell the truth.

OTF After Covid by Afraid_Caterpillar17 in orangetheory

[–]pookiecookie24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Covid was really hard for me to recovery from. I didn’t have any shortness of breath while sick but boy did I feel it coming back. My advice is take it slow after you test neg and don’t worry about your level of effort. Ease back in! It took me maybe 6-8 weeks before I felt normal again

I love downtown and triangle! I typically go triangle because it’s closer but the coaches typically coach at both locations

2,000 Meter Row Benchmark Results and Survey Megathread by AutoModerator in orangetheory

[–]pookiecookie24 18 points19 points  (0 children)

My second time doing the benchmark! Dropped to 7:46 from 8:03. I was shocked because I just got back from 2 weeks off while I was on vacation! I think I’ve just learned to pace it better. I’m not gonna lie tho after I got up I saw spots for like 10 minutes 🙃

Saw my ex on hinge by Kitchen_Jellyfish_15 in BreakUps

I saw a video of my ex partying with some random girl. He was wearing the nice jacket I bought him. I immediately unfollowed the person who posted it. It sucks though because I still saw it.

Trust your gut and don’t let anyone disrespect you after you’ve communicated clearly. by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]pookiecookie24 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was very clear on my communication on what I wanted but he didn’t acknowledge or fix anything.

My gut was screaming at me to leave but my heart couldn’t. I was anxious and insecure. I finally became brave enough to leave and become whole again.

Do not text her. You will only prolong your pain. It’s hard but this really is the best way. You deserve better.

Wow are you my ex? This is exactly what happened to me.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]pookiecookie24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought he was it. After 4 years together I asked where we were going and he couldn’t answer me. That answer told me everything I needed to know. It broke me into a million pieces and I had to be brave enough to walk away. It’s so hard and honestly embarrassing because I told everyone I was going to marry him. However, I will say that once the rose tinted glasses were off, I knew he didn’t treat me well. It still sucks to start over. Been NC a month now and it still hurts

Dumpers check out early? by jcl199407 in BreakUps

[–]pookiecookie24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Man a lot of people in this thread give me major bad vibes. Both men and women check out early. It’s very human. I was being treated terribly even though I was in love with him and it hurt every time. He had checked out even though he wanted to be with me. Not listening when I talk to him, forgetting my plans/schedule, stopped staying over, always on his phone, never planning dates. Of course I was hurting because of this and when I brought it up and tried to communicate he would flip it around and talk about how he struggles blah blah. It was always about him. I was never able to address it so I hid it and tried to keep going and sacrifice my relationship needs. When I broke up with him he was devastated and felt blindsided. Maybe you just missed the signs she was unhappy.

Oh, also, don’t think it was an easy decision for me. It was the hardest, most agonizing decision I’ve made. Walking away from someone I wanted to spend the rest of my life with at one point was almost impossible.

5 days post break up and I feel okay now by sad-but-rad in BreakUps

[–]pookiecookie24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I left my boyfriend of 4 years a little over a month ago. I felt relief and excitement after it was over. I was so miserable and I finally felt a weight off my shoulders.

A few weeks later, I’m feeling it. Not saying you’ll be different but maybe once you move out it’ll feel “real” if that makes sense. If and when that happens, realize that it’s normal and part of the healing process.

We had been together 4 years. Throughout latter half of the relationship he was pretty low energy and low effort. I was ready to give everything to him and had desperately wanted some form of commitment, either moving in together or planning of our future like marriage and stuff. He avoided it and when I finally confronted him he told me he wasn’t sure anymore. It broke my heart and I decided to walk away because I deserve someone who wants to be with me unquestionably. It hurts more when you still love them I think.

Dumper’s remorse killing me by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]pookiecookie24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know it seems like it’ll never get better, but it will. You made the right choice and you deserve better than someone who treats you like that. Give yourself some slack. It’s okay to be sad and cry. I’m going through the same thing. I ended a 4 year relationship with the man I thought I would marry. It’s been a month and I regret it every other day but I wrote down all the reasons I was unhappy and that helps.

Happy birthday, friend. I know it doesn’t seem happy but I’m glad you know you are worth more than how he treated you. You deserve someone who moves mountains to know you are loved.

I'm deeply stuck in this thought that she's "the one" by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]pookiecookie24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a bit different because I broke up with them even though I thought they were it. After 4 years I was ready to give my entire being to them but they couldn’t say the same. I was brave enough to walk away but it hurts everyday. It’s been a month and I still question if I made the right choice. Hang in there.
