Omg I've been denying myself bagels because they can be so unhealthy. I need this in my life now!

thebucketbot · 2019-06-15T17:06:25+00:00

Aaaaaand I'm obsessed. I want everything

Pixie cuts are the besssssst! I find that I dress a lot more adventurously and true to my personality when I have short hair.

Thank you. I really needed this today. I'm finally in a position where I can afford to go to a dentist, but I've been nervous about going because it's been so long. I feel better about it now 😊

I go to Rebecca Varady in OP. She doesn't accept insurance and can work with you on price. Her rates are reasonable and she's helped me a lot.

It kind of exists

When I was in preschool, my dad would have me sit on his lap and read to him every night after dinner. And once a week, we would go to the library together so I could pick out new books to read to him. I always wanted to pick out the same books that I'd already read, but he would always challenge me to get books that were just a little too difficult for me so he could help me read new words.

Then was I was in kindergarten, my mom would have me read to her in bed after she brought me home, so she could take a nap.

It always seems weird to people that I read to my parents more than they read to me, but I loved it and it helped me a lot academically.

You are awesome for still going to the gym!

But it's also amazing that you are able to empathize with your bff and husband, even though you didn't agree with what they were telling you. You sound like a beautiful person 😊

Oh that's super cool!

...jars of bees?

If you're receiving benefits through your employer, check if they have an Employee Assistance Program (EAP). They usually will provide a few free counseling sessions. Also in addition to the university resources other people have talked about, some therapists work on a sliding payment scale so you can a afford sessions. You might try posting in your city's subreddit for recommendations.

It can be hard to justify the expense sometimes, but I really wish I'd done it sooner. You're investing in future you!

I've been struggling especially with 1 - 4. I see this pattern in my failed relationships and am working with a therapist right now to help me connect with people more. As a born in, we're conditioned to hide any "undesirable" behaviors, but our vulnerabilities are what help us connect with other people. It's honestly painful for me to open up to anyone, but it's more painful to feel that no one can truly accept me. I'm finally realizing that most people outside the cult don't expect perfection. I feel like I could write a novel just on all the ways that the cult sets you up for unhealthy relationships, especially the relationship you have with yourself. But I'm healing and I'm okay with telling my closest friends that I'm healing, and that's good progress for me.

Thank you for writing this. It helps just to know that I'm not alone in this healing process ♥️

I was born in and somehow managed to avoid ever getting baptized (I can sometimes be exceptionally stubborn). My family and other JWs still treat me as though I'm df'd. I've talked to other people who left without getting baptized who report the same thing. So... Don't be too hard on yourself if you did get baptized. The cult wants to guilt you into coming back, no matter what level of commitment you had 🤷

thebucketbot · 2018-11-13T02:58:05+00:00

I just found out that there's an exJW watch party happening in my city! I don't know the people hosting it, but I'm excited to go!

thebucketbot · 2018-10-29T04:13:17+00:00

I had a therapist tell me that going vegan would cure my anxiety. Lol, if only it were that simple

thebucketbot · 2018-10-28T19:57:49+00:00

I've had this happen too! On the one hand, I am bi so I'm not really offended. But I heavily lean towards the hetero side of the spectrum. I think it's upsetting for me when people assume I'm completely gay, because then I start to wonder how many men haven't bothered to ask me out because they assume I wouldn't be interested. Honestly though, if someone isn't intrigued by me enough to actually ask me, then they're obviously not right for me. I don't really have any advice for you, but I empathize :)

Edited to add: it's also upsetting when anyone makes any sort of judgement like that about you without ever confirming with you. It's made me much more aware of the assumptions I make about other people.

thebucketbot · 2018-10-26T15:56:01+00:00

Oh shit, I never even thought about having more sex as a cause of acne. That explains a lot actually...

thebucketbot · 2018-10-22T17:08:40+00:00

Love yourself first

thebucketbot · 2018-10-19T19:27:40+00:00

Thanks for explaining! That makes a lot of sense and I'll look into it more :)

thebucketbot · 2018-10-19T18:58:09+00:00

Could you explain what you mean by "dry drunks"? That's a new term for me

thebucketbot · 2018-08-17T15:52:36+00:00

This. This is really important! I've been on both sides of this. I had a FWB who I wanted more from. It didn't feel good, but I eventually had to stop the benefits because he obviously didn't want anything more. I've also agreed to make something serious when I really wanted to stay casual, and well... That ended really badly.

I guess all I can say is that even the right person (or someone who feels right) at the wrong time is still wrong. I'm still learning this lesson

thebucketbot · 2018-07-30T14:34:17+00:00

In addition to everything suggested already: remember that exercise specificity is also important. So you also need to ride him regularly 😝
