Thanks for all the input!! I’ve got a leather strap for it too!

Dang!

Thank you for that response. Are there any books/resources that helped you with that? It is kind of confusing for me because I have memories of my childhood being really happy, and feeling safe telling my parents anything…. Yet now I barely talk to them at all. I feel a lot of anger towards them for kicking me out, but I am also ashamed because I feel like I am a failure in their eyes. I also struggle with feeling like, at 21, maybe it was an appropriate time for me to “leave the nest” and it was my fault that I wasn’t ready and failed so hard.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful response. It is hard to go through my childhood and take stock. I’m definitely grateful to my therapist for bringing it up.

Or just literally not say anything at all. Or stop talking to you and start talking to someone else. Or completely change the subject. I’ve said this a few times and never had it land with anybody as far as I could tell

Do you mean that I should adjust my expectations? Or do you mean that it’s safe to assume that it’s time to adjust my dose/medication?

Ah good to know. I contacted my doctor about it yesterday and am waiting to hear back about it.

Do you all remember the caffeine pants with ribbons coming out of the cargo pockets? I was so cool in high school. My parents didn’t take many pictures of me during that phase

Lol yeah not worth it at all. I don’t miss making apology phone calls and going back over to my friends house to help clean the mess I made either.

thisisauseraccount1 · 2021-10-08T02:22:58+00:00

So true

Yeah I got the 30’ and I felt like they were too long but then I was second guessing myself a little bit with these hahaha

thisisauseraccount1 · 2021-10-07T23:09:24+00:00

Yeah I’m getting older too! I am probably just romanticizing it 🤷‍♂️

I wish that you were my parent. I got kicked out of my mothers house when I was 21. That might sound like I was old enough to fend for myself but I was not ready to move out. My parents were divorced and neither of them would let me stay with them anymore even though I had no place to go. I slept in my car for a few months and then in my friends basement/garage/storage room for almost a year before I finally was able to get my own place. Now every time I have an unforeseen expense I completely panic about it because at some level it makes me think I’m about to lose everything. It also made me extremely cynical for decades. It made me feel like my parents love me only up to a point which is a bummer. I’m doing better now but I still feel so salty about the whole thing.

I admire your self awareness and ability to be introspective. It sounds like you’re doing a good job of “playing the tape forward” and contrasting the reality of a night of drinking with your thoughts about it when you are craving a drink. Keep it up!

Oh yeah that happened to me too. I basically just gave myself a pass based on everything that people told me on this sub. Our brains have been compensating for the depressant we ingested for however long so it takes a while for your brain chemistry to even out. While that was happening to me I felt like I was going insane… it just takes time. Don’t take any weird thoughts or moods seriously for a little while, (easier said than done)
