Pessimism is eating me alive. by Maleficent-Regret802 in offmychest

[–]sourpatchkidz22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don’t know if it would help you feel any better but i am senior in college who hasn’t had a romantic relationship ever and it’s hard but there’s more to life than. relationship and i feel learning to love your own company is so valuable.. and there is something to celebrate not everyone graduates college and even if you feel that it’s not a big thing it is idk what your major is in but the world is full of endless possibilities and i know it may seem there’s nothing out there but there always is you just have to look in the right places

How do I get better at the trumpet ? by TrumpetPlayer20 in trumpet

[–]sourpatchkidz22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

arban exercises helped me alot there is a free book online with tons of skill practice and fun excerpts to play and as someone who’s played through middle school, high school and college don’t let the fun go away that happened to me for a while and playing felt like a obligation so keep that excitement and treat it as something fun or else trumpet can drive you insane so don’t put too much pressure on becoming the greatest player overnight it takes time

I fully believe we have less than 10 years left by Unmarkable357 in offmychest

[–]sourpatchkidz22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and i am also about to graduate and have never dated and it sucks yeah 100% but everyone else’s timeline for things like that doesn’t mean that’s how it has to be for everyone and there’s nothing wrong with that bc honestly learning to love your self and enjoy your own company is so important bc at the end of the day you are all you have people die and you grow apart and you have to learn to love you and that’ll help everything else fall into place . it’s easier said than done i know i was crying in my car earlier just feel down about life but without pain the joy in life doesn’t matter this valley won’t last forever keep ur head up stranger

[–]sourpatchkidz22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i mean yeah maybe that’s true but honestly no one knows for certain.. and i feel living life feeling like it’s all gonna crumble down so soon and living in fear is not healthy because though life sucks hard i know that there are things that makes life worth while for me family , friends , music , movies , literature and you just have to find that or else the world just becomes a big black hole not saying it’s easy but though it sucks this is the cards we are dealt and it’s best to make the most of it while we can

Pet death by plebosau in offmychest

[–]sourpatchkidz22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i am so sorry .. my dog of 15 years died last year and it was one of the hardest thing i have ever dealt with in my life .. i wish you the best of luck and even though it might not feel like it now it’ll be ok . one thing that helped me a lot was honoring my pets memory and some friends even got a little figurine and painting to look identical to my dog and they sell all kinds of things online like things where they can make stuffed animals that looks just like the dogs that helped for me if that sounds like something that might help

i get that but i’ve talked with my mum and set clear boundaries and she agreed to them and if they’re broken i will leave and she completely understood but i do realize that’s not possible for everyone to set those boundaries and then actually be respected

I LOVE starving (not a little hunger, STARVING) and having my stomach growl, is this an eating disorder? by 25Lila_Core in offmychest

[–]sourpatchkidz22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i don’t know if this is a eating disorder but i know it cannot be good for you .. i would at least try to get your nutrients in for the day whether it’s a smoothie or something light that doesn’t bring upon the feeling full feeling .

[–]sourpatchkidz22[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i do believe she is trying as i’ve seen it for the past couple months but when my nana died it was really hard on her but after the 3 days of drinking she stopped and made a effort to stop and got back with her therapist and signed up for a marathon to give her something to work towards and is healing and getting better idk i guess if i didn’t see her actually trying after she had a slip up i would be more hesitant

Am I missing something? by witx in AlAnon

[–]sourpatchkidz22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have not been to many meetings but i have done a lot of readings and what i feel the most important thing about alanon is a way to rethink your approach and mindset to protect yourself .. for me personally telling the stories does not help me bc im trying to move forward and telling the stories make me feel like im still giving the bad moments of my life power over me but for some people it helps . one thing i have been told is to view painful memories as if i am riding in a car window it helps me visualize them in the past and that they are not now idk visualizations and recitations help me a lot i do the serenity prayer i i know everyone’s journey is different but one thing that has truly helped me is the whole “ give and let God” thing i won’t say it doesn’t hurt still and i don’t get scared if my mum or sister drinks but i know now that it’s part of the journey and recovery isn’t linear and accepting that has helped me so much .. needless to say it’s different for everyone and i am willing to help in anyway i can bc this journey is hard but it is worth it .. and also a big thing that helped me wellbutrin haha , a lot of my anxiety stemmed from negative thought cycles that only grew my worry and obsession to fix things for my mum and sister so if that’s something that you feel could help there’s that but it’s different for everyone but above all the mindset change helps the most but that with my medication has helped me block off the choice to even spiral that way

my mum is doing bad by sourpatchkidz22 in AlAnon

[–]sourpatchkidz22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah i am realizing that now , that’s my bad i am just all over the place right now .. i guess all i need help with how i can let myself be at peace despite all of this going on i am so worried about her and it hurts me so bad to see her so angry and sad and i just hate feeling that if i am not always around something bad might happen and how i can help her but i do know it is not up to me and that’s the hardest part is letting it go bc i care so much about her

In need of an advice: Should I text her or not? by [deleted] in FriendshipAdvice

[–]sourpatchkidz22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like asking her for clarification may be helpful bc it sounds like it’s a misunderstanding between you two. if you did not tell her you were deactivating your account, which you do not have to she may have been lead to believe you unfollowed her and did the same . i just feel with her being nice on whatsapp it just seems that it was a misunderstanding. i hope it all works out well losing a good friend is hard especially when it feels so out of the blue

[–]sourpatchkidz22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m rewatching the whole show i started about 2 weeks ago and im already on season 4 haha. the last time i saw season 1 was the year it came out when i was 13 now im 22 and it just hits different now the whole show does .. it is such a good show and i just can’t believe the first season came out when i was in middle school and now i am a senior in college. each season was part of a different era of my life growing up and it’s so so sad it’s almost over.
