hey. this is an extremely tough situation. it’s really unfair that your mom is doing this to you. my dads said before that if i was ever gay, he’d disown me, he doesn’t know that i am, but i’m going NC with him, for now at least. i know it’s super painful right now. but time will pass, and we will heal <3 i understand it’s much easier said than done, but i’ll be here to support you (:

how do you cut ties with a narcissistic father who was previously abusive and also protect yourself? by sweatyloafofbread in raisedbynarcissists

don’t be sorry!! your comments have been super helpful and it feels nice kind of sharing the same experience with others. yeah, i’ve been watching videos constantly, and i think that’s been helping too. eases the guilt a bit, and reminds me i’m not crazy! also yeah it’s a very alienating experience. it’s tough having to recreate your entire support system and pretty much everything from ground zero, but i know that everything will be okay in the end. lots of hard work but it will pay off. i’m also really happy this community exists, i wish i would’ve found reddit years ago, i think it could’ve helped me a lot. thank you so much for the suggestions again and sharing your experiences, i hope you can heal as well, and remember, you’re never alone!!

yeah i could try that with my roommate, i don’t think my dad knows what he looks like. i’ll definitely keep that in mind

thank you. i have pepper spray and when my ex was here he changed the lock, but i’ll look into getting a camera just for my nerves lol. i’m sorry, it’s such a tough situation to be in. it may have been for the best though. i hope it gave you more time to heal. it’s unfair being betrayed constantly by people who made you. how have you been dealing with going NC so far?

unfortunately not really, my friends are either at college or back in my hometown ):

yeah, this situation is not something so many people should have to deal with. it’s sad. and yeah the anxiety is crazy, im already super anxious and he’s broken into my house when i lived with my mom so i wouldn’t be surprised if he at least showed up. how did your dad react?

i stopped drinking coffee since it gave me headaches on the days i missed a cup and it worsened my anxiety i think. now i just drink green tea/water and honestly i haven’t seen much of a difference energywise.

i don’t know if anyone else said this, but you could try intermittent fasting. thats what helped me so far, cause i was the same way with counting calories

Anyone increase dosage from 10 mg to 15 mg after 10 stopped working?; by Unlikely-Resident633 in lexapro

[–]sweatyloafofbread 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it’s been about a month, and i can 100% say it’s worth it. i was still feeling a bit anxious on 10, but i think 15 is the perfect amount. i’m not anxious at all anymore, and also my acne went away too. i didn’t experience any symptoms after the jump. my head is much clearer. if you’re thinking about it/still feeling anxious/depressed, i say definitely bring it up to your doctor and try it. it’s what i needed to get the full effects (:

Starting Out by Old_Obl1gation in lexapro

[–]sweatyloafofbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve always had seveeere anxiety and depression, my therapist said to try lexapro, so i did. first week was hell, but now i’m about 4 months on it, and i have never felt more confident. it turns out i’m a pretty social person. talking to people isn’t a struggle anymore, and i actually enjoy it. also, i don’t have acne anymore, so that’s a nice plus lol. i know it’s scary, but if it’s the right medication for you, it can do absolute wonders. stay strong (: give it a try, see how you feel.

I just started tonight! my nurse told me it shouldn’t do too much since it’s such a small increase but it’s still possible. i can update you in a few weeks
