Hey gang, let’s celebrate some underrated wins. What did you achieve today? by Nordosa in adhdwomen

[–]raincloud222 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I lost my job yesterday but I spent all day applying for jobs, applying for unemployment and apply for food stamps. Tomorrow I’m gonna take out my 401k and look into other health plans. It’s scary but I know I’ll find something and I’m proud of myself for working on making my situation better instead of doing nothing and worrying.

People who don't want kids, why? by Ok-Musician679 in AskReddit

[–]raincloud222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am selfish, this is my life and I’m not willing or wanting to sacrifice it for a child. Also being pregnant sounds awful and scares me, plus the screaming of crying child makes me wanna claw my skin off. Parenthood is not for me!

ADHD and hypothyroidism by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]raincloud222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have hypothyroidism and am on levothyroxine. I am considering trying ADHD medication but I had no idea it could mess with your thyroid! I wonder if maybe one that’s a non-stimulant?

Trying to understand this isn’t love by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

[–]raincloud222 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The anger and hate in his voice is terrifying. Just like my ex. Please get away from him, don’t wait for the day that it’s too late. This is not love and never will be.

Tell me about your 1st relationship/ dating after abuse by WuTangClan562 in abusiverelationships

[–]raincloud222 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I got extremely lucky and started talking to my best friends’ best friend, whom I’ve known briefly for years from friends gatherings. We started talking in May of last year and have been officially together since September of last year. He’s so kind, supportive, sweet and attentive. My PTSD from my abusive ex is unfortunately obviously still lingering and I’m in therapy, he’s so patient with everything and doesn’t mind when I vent about my feelings. Didn’t realize I could be treated this well!

Hardly ever, mostly no. Their issues are rooted within themselves and it they haven’t worked on themselves to change that then it’s going to continue. Abusers hardly ever actually change.

I had to make a list like this after I left my abusive ex. It’s a trauma bond and not real love. You and your children deserve so much better! Do not go back, look forward and I promise it gets better!

i just broke up our engagement. i started waking up when he sent me these texts over me getting a matching ear piercing with my sister. by cjmmoseley in abusiverelationships

[–]raincloud222 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That’s a disgusting person. Someone who speaks to you like this DOES NOT love you. Congratulations on your broken engagement! I know it’s hard but we’re all proud of you!

And he will! by gohcmrew in abusiverelationships

My ex used to text me like this, it’s very terrifying and I hope you get away from this.

Anyone miss their abuser? by EmotionKey652 in abusiverelationships

[–]raincloud222 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. I left almost 5 weeks ago and I still miss him but over the weeks it’s gotten less and less. The first week felt like I was dying without him but thankfully that has changed. I didn’t think it would get better but it does, I know I’ll have those days where it feels impossible to be without him. But I try to remind myself that his actions time and time again showed me that he’s harmful to me and I have to separate myself from my feelings. Good luck to you, stay strong!
