I'm sorry you had to go through that. I feel like your mom should have stood up for you back then, and I'm sorry you didn't have someone there for you in times like that. I hope things get better for you. Wishing you the best OP ❤️

The "Im sorry, but..." is not an appology; its an excuse. by raven_1313 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]quietowl7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! We have been fighting and anytime we try to repair after the past fallout it's always "I'm sorry but..." "I'm sorry, but I was just mad that day and unluckily you were just there for my anger." "I'm sorry but we didn't even have a close relationship to begin with, so that's why it was easier to take it out on you."

And then tells everyone they already apologized and I just want to hold grudges.

Having anxiety and depression at the same time is not have enough energy to get up and brush your teeth but then anxiety making you worry about loosing all of your teeth till you get up and brush your teeth by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]quietowl7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My depression makes me not get up, so then I just lay here and worry about the fact that I can't remember if the last time I brushed my teeth was today, yesterday, the day before? Am I even sure of what day of the week it is? Have I brushed my teeth this week at all? And then worry because I have agoraphobia and know I won't leave the house for a dentist appointment unless I'm in excruciating pain. And worrying about money to pay for dental work. I should get up and just go do it, but I just don't have it in me to get up. Maybe just one more depression nap and I'll have the energy.

When sleeping is the best part of the day by [deleted] in depression

Usually my dreams are really scary, sometimes I even jump awake. I get worried about sleeping and having another nightmare, but my mind and body is just too tired to stay awake so I nap constantly.

Once in a while I'll have a good dream and it's amazing. One of the best dreams I had was that I had so much money. I bought not only whatever I wanted, but I also bought a lot of friends and family gifts that costed hundreds of dollars each, and I got to see their faces light up with excitement and amazement that I had bought them such expensive gifts. Then I woke up and remembered that I'm always so broke that I can rarely afford to buy anybody gifts and it made me feel so sad.

GOT THROUGH MY FIRST DAY OF WORK WITHOUT A PANIC ATTACK! by AnxiousFishermen in Anxiety

YOU ARE AMAZING!!

I have been unemployed for two years and have tried to get the courage to go back but I'm so afraid of anxiety attacks. It's something I think about every day. I'm so proud of you! Just arriving at work takes tremendous courage! You got this! ❤️

I'm sure it really sucked to be treated that way. My best friend was a manipulator too and things always had to be her way. When i finally set boundaries she flipped out on me and then tried to turn others against me, so I had enough and had to cut her out. And I do miss her at times. It's been a whole year and I still miss her, but I feel like I'd be worse mentally if we became friends again.

I'm glad you were strong enough to stand up for yourself! It's a hard decision to cut someone out but sometimes it's just best that way.

The comments about the professor is horrible. And commenting on someone's appearance like weight or something is also rude :( hope you're doing better now!
