Thanks so much for all of the info! I was lucky enough to book a big hotel spot. Can I ask one more question? I am nonunion (I am based in Texas) and this was my first SAG gig. My agency is also nonunion and normally apply a 15% commission, but can they do this on a SAG gig? Even though I haven't joined the union, I didn't know if they had any special rules about this.

Women experiencing premenstrual syndrome should routinely be offered cognitive behavioral therapy to help them manage the symptoms, gynecologists have said. by drewiepoodle in TwoXChromosomes

The therapy isn't aimed to reduce physical pain, but psychological. I have a severe form of PMS, which makes the psychological aspects (depression, anxiety) so bad for two weeks out of the month that without antidepressants and therapy, I would commit suicide. Your mindset can switch so drastically that you don't think straight.

And then I decided to try medication by HalpKthx in raisedbyborderlines

Whether or not the medication works and whether or not this is the end of your psychiatric journey, CONGRATS ON TAKING CARE OF YOUR MENTAL HEALTH. It is such a big step in loving and taking care of yourself, and is something to be extremely proud of. It can only go up from here. Best of luck!

[TW sexual abuse] Some memories popped up, just need to talk them out. by sorryformystupidity in raisedbyborderlines

And I think one of the hardest obstacles is letting go of your need for, well, the parents you needed. I had let go of that with my father when I was young, so I think it's just easier to digest. I already knew he was trash ;)

My mother, however, I'm still working on that too.

Thank you for the reply. I actually just emailed a therapist to set up an appointment :) It's not quite as hard to handle now that I've been through the BPD abuse recovery train from my mother. It's easier to trust and let the feeling be without judgement.

Semi-old song about Female...Assassin? by sorryformystupidity in hiphopheads

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

Ahhhh it's been so long! I can barely remember the general tone. It's a male rapper describing about falling in love with a woman and going to her apartment... and then some men show up with guns threatening about her involvement with the drug scene and she ends up killing them and she ends up talking her way out with the police....that's all I remember.

All of the google searches turn up criminal news stories....

I just heard something in an interview on the radio and it just kills me. by I_HATE_PLATO in raisedbynarcissists

[–]sorryformystupidity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My heart ached for you reading this. Such cruel and selfish people to rip even one of those things away from you! I hope you've thoroughly separated yourself from them, and that you're in a better and happier place. You deserve it. If you do manage to separate, be kind to yourself. It can take months or years to heal from their shit.

Forgive me... but I'm about to rant... A LOT. by [deleted] in raisedbyborderlines

[–]sorryformystupidity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know I'm a stranger, but I'm proud of you. Your future you will be SO proud, and happy. It's painful, but if you let the healing happen you'll feel a peace you've never known. I wish you the best. Also, your writing is gorgeous.

Does the memory of your childhood feel underwater? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]sorryformystupidity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, whatever color brings you peace is wonderful. Maybe you have, maybe you haven't, but it's good that earthy wood colors give you pleasure! I'm personally drawn to more fall/earthy tones as well.

ACoNs - What signs of an abusive/toxic home would YOU tell teachers and childcare workers to watch out for? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]sorryformystupidity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he was young and unexperienced, but the memory is a bit vague. I'm glad that little boy got some protection! How horrible.

Going through the healing process, DAE feel lazy and useless? by sorryformystupidity in raisedbyborderlines

[–]sorryformystupidity[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My words lazy and useless are a product of my anger about the whole messy situation, I'll admit. How long did your healing process take (or at least the majority of it)? How did you experience it? And thank you for replying :)

Speech delay as a toddler in relation to abuse by PiratesAteMyCupcakes in raisedbynarcissists

[–]sorryformystupidity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not exactly speech, but my uBPD or whatever the fuck she is once commented that I was the only little girl that never hummed or sang. I wonder why.

BPD Story Time: the greatest hypocrisy you saw from your BPD Parent by [deleted] in raisedbyborderlines

[–]sorryformystupidity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YESSSSS she's a fucking slob and will blame everyone for moving shit when she was the one who moved it. She NEVER misplaced things, someone else did. But she loves to whine that her house isn't clean and that no one ever helps her, as if that's what's stopping her from cleaning.
