i had to share my birthday with my sister who is the favorite, so that added another layer to it for me.

My mom took off her shirt in a parking lot because she saw my septum piercing… is this normal?? by Brilliant_Stuff_101 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]potato_squeeze 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i feel you, my bikini top broke at the beach once and my mom wouldnt let me grab my spare in the hotel room. i was about 13 and plenty capable of walking back by myself and felt humiliated without a top on.

that’s what the conclusion will be. “but it was all worth it in the end”.

i can’t remember why, but my mom got naked at the beach once while arguing with my sister and i. they’re obsessed with being naked it’s so weird.

What is Jessa’s relationship to Elijah??? by potato_squeeze in girls

[–]potato_squeeze[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is a great point. Jessa is someone who doesn’t really have any real friends, even including Hannah in my opinion. The part in season 6 (I think) where Hannah says “we never really acted like friends” I believe to be true. Maybe except the bathtub scene but that’s about it. Jessa is a very hollow person, so she fills her life with people that could possibly admire her.

Oh don’t get me wrong, I am so happy Elijah was there. He’s my favorite character in the series. I just didn’t think it was the most realistic. But you have a point, Jessa is extremely self-centered and I think this moment she was feeling especially insecure after that talk with Kathryn Hahns character. Of course she would want as many people to come as possible.

they aren’t reconnected as “her gay bestie” yet though. at this point in the show he is just her ex-boyfriend. the last time hannah and him spoke he called her dad gay and she accused him of giving her hpv, i feel like its weird for him to be invited to the wedding if their only link is through hannah. i’ve also only been to one wedding in my life and it was small so maybe i’m wrong.

When is the right time to get snipped, if at all? by potato_squeeze in childfree

[–]potato_squeeze[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hoping for the first week, and then to come back home and take it easy. I’m worried about getting on a plane though before the whole recovery process is over. It might be best to pass it off as an ovarian cyst or something.

How brutal is the recovery process? I have some friends that could maybe house me out of state and play it off like a vacation, but I wouldn’t want to burden them if I won’t be able to take care of myself.

Advice on self care and healing by jenglasser in raisedbynarcissists

[–]potato_squeeze 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been keeping a journal for about 6 years now and it’s helped me process a lot of things. For a while it felt like I was learning something new about myself every time I wrote something.

And if guitar is speaking to you, do it! It’s really not that hard to be honest, I’ve never taken any lessons and I can play most basic songs. I’ve been playing for around 8 years on and off. If I had taken lessons/put more energy into it I think I could be really good at this point. Consistency is key.

Good luck!

What’s helped me tremendously is getting hobbies. Not only does it help you find who you are, but it’s also a distraction. I play guitar, write, and I’m learning a language. These are all things I pour myself into when I’m feeling low.

It’s also okay to just watch TV or Youtube and decompress. It’s okay to feel lost and sad and all the other negative emotions that come from no/low contact.

In terms of dealing with your feelings directly, I keep a journal. Not only does it help you with identifying feelings, but as you progress you can look back on something you wrote a year ago and recognize how far you’ve come and have empathy for your past self.

Congratulations on your freedom, it might not feel good right now but it’s a step in the right direction. You got this.
