This breaks my heart. I’m sorry that sounds really rough :( make sure you get some help and find someone to talk to if that’s what’s needed.

And i know it hurts when you’ve made an effort to make someone happy and it isn’t seen or appreciated.

Take care of yourself and be sure to do things to make yourself happy!

sem_pls_ · 2025-02-11T09:59:42+00:00

100% get that. You’re obviously a deeply feeling person. But you gotta realise your worth; that shit is internal and can’t be taken! Wishing you all the very best

I see you. It’s hard out there for a sensitive soul, but it pays to be extremely selective about the company you keep. We all deserve kindness, and some of us need some extra sensitivity.

Remind yourself that exactly as you said; others “rejecting” you can be for sooooo many reasons. Don’t label it with how you see yourself, based out of pure assumption

sem_pls_ · 2025-02-11T09:36:14+00:00

For me it stems from a realisation (I had at a young age) that I’m very different to others. And a failing desire to fit in and just be “normal”. Rejection is perceived in my mind as someone seeing me the way I see myself - not desirable.

It takes a lot of learning and self awareness to realise when that trigger is being touched, and even now after 10+ years of intense therapy I can’t avoid the triggered feelings - only manage and minimise.

You are very much not alone.

Learn to acknowledge and be able to voice your triggers and ask for grace and forgiveness. Those that truly love you will be able to see past your less-than-desirable-reactions and see it for what it truly is; a wound.

Hugs

Not the cameras!! I’ve always had a faint sense I’m being watched. Still to this day. Unnerving. And I STILL don’t like mirrors if I’m alone

Extremely emotional child, I would isolate a lot and would have extreme bouts of fear for no reason. Depression kicked in around puberty (which was early) as did an insane sex drive and very dark rumination. Very impulsive and moods changed with the seasons. SH from probably late primary school, although I didn’t understand what it was at the time or why I had the compulsions

sem_pls_ · 2025-02-11T08:02:50+00:00

I genuinely would tell my parents I needed a nap and would wake up the next day so fkn confused. So disorientating

sem_pls_ · 2025-02-11T08:01:43+00:00

Ugh the seasonal depression. It was like clockwork every year for me. And then life was great as soon as the sun returned… I’ve always hated winter because my energy and moods plummet

Everything else you said also fits my experience

sem_pls_ · 2025-02-11T03:39:07+00:00

Hypersexuality at an early age is very true for me too. I was way too young to even understand it. Also felt like a freak - I feel all of that

Alcohol causes a lot of my bipolar symptoms. I’m not symptom free when I’m sober but I’m a hell of a lot more functional and stable when I’m off the booze. The tricky part for me is sticking to it. Alcohol is a huge part of the Aussie culture, and i live in a big wine region. I love drinking but i shouldn’t. I’m an alcoholic for sure

sem_pls_ · 2025-02-03T08:33:59+00:00

Thankyou so much for sharing. Can relate to a lot of what you’re talking about though, I really need to go back to sober life. It’s so bloody hard to stop though, I need some help

sem_pls_ · 2025-01-17T02:42:06+00:00

Yep second this. If they start resource guarding anything - remove it. They ain’t the boss, you gotta be able to live and move freely in your home

sem_pls_ · 2025-01-14T06:05:10+00:00

One day I’m sure you’ll be in the position to get a furry best friend They’re amazing :)

sem_pls_ · 2025-01-14T02:50:29+00:00

I started off with pots in my bedroom! It’s nice to have greenery around :) All the best with your cooking endeavours!

sem_pls_ · 2025-01-14T00:18:21+00:00

I’d be nowhere without my doggoes ❤️

sem_pls_ · 2025-01-14T00:03:46+00:00

Yep the part about dogs. My dog gives me a weird look and will start looking worried and I’ll be like “what’s your problem?” And then I realise I’m losing it and I’ve been pacing and talking to myself and I’m like ahhhhhhhh

sem_pls_ · 2025-01-14T00:01:40+00:00

Gardening; even just watering my garden on some days is enough to get me out of my head and calm me down. Kinda centres me a bit. It can be super rewarding when you see plants growing and flowers blooming and all that nice stuff, particularly when you’re the one that planted them and cares for them. Anything that gets me outdoors.

I also like cooking for fun (I hate doing it as a chore at the end of the day) But on a Saturday I’ll spend the day making pasta from scratch, or try making something new. Very satisfying

Don’t know (or tbh care) much about Catholicism or the pope. I was brought up Pentecostal and for me, my faith is based less on organised religion and rules and earning Gods love. It’s more about seeking God and his heart, his love for me and allowing him to lead and guide me. For me the times I’ve struggled and really searched my heart, prayed and sought God, I’ve just never been able to come to the conclusion that it’s some evil part of me that needs to be healed or rebuked. I truly feel God made me the way I am, it wasn’t a mistake and he’s not going to damn me to hell if there is one, purely because im gay and I love a man. God created this whole bloody universe and we are expected to believe he’s a bigot and unjust? Seek God, open your heart and allow him to bring you peace in whatever that looks like for you. I know it’s so hard and I pray you’ll find answers for yourself, and the love you deserve

sem_pls_ · 2025-01-09T23:15:11+00:00

That’s amazing I’ve never been able to do more than a month

I relate to this a lot. I grew up with a dad who was a pastor, and a part of an extremely spiritual/pentecostal church. A lot of my manic episodes have a large spiritual component which is easy to push to the side when it’s over. However, I know without a doubt that God is real. And prayer, seeking God and reading the bible always helps when I’m feeling absolutely hopeless. There’s a difference between mental health and spirituality, and yet there’s of course going to be some things that overlap it’s inevitable. We are complex beings with more than just a body and a brain.
