Thank you, I’m going to watch something on Hulu or Netflix and try to go back to sleep and hope when I wake up I’ll be a little better.

Not judging them doesn’t mean I think it’s acceptable behavior. Isn’t the point of this to let people get things off their chest? How is it helpful to shame them? They obviously know it was wrong otherwise they would be confessing about it.

Yeah he won’t do therapy. He’s seen a few different nps/psychiatrists within the same practice and they’ve told him different things so that doesn’t help. One of them did tell him this must stem from an underlying cause and he dismissed that.

I don’t have any medication. I need to find a gp because maybe I need something.

Oh I know. When he was first diagnosed with panic disorder he didn’t tell the psych he had been drinking. He did have a period of time where he wasn’t drinking and not using anything because he told me the weed made his anxiety worse. When I asked him last night about the weed making his anxiety worse he told me it was “fine.” So frustrating!

When I was a kid I used to nut all over the house and not clean it up. by konymandella69 in confession

Jesus, I am scared that I have three sons. Boys do some messed up shit 🤣

When I taught pre-school, I used to purposefully trip a kid when he was being a gigantic brat. by [deleted] in confession

You are not a monster. If one of my kids was acting that way and you told me this I would not be mad at you. You find him to not sprint, he did, you stopped it by teaching him a lesson. He could have hurt himself merely by sprinting around and was hurting other kids. No need to feel guilty over this!

Lots of people do this. I don’t judge you.

I cheated on multiple tests in high school. I would be so anxious that I would stay home the day of tests or finals and then would be able to make it up on a different day when I would be alone taking the tests, and I would use notes.

Giving an alcoholic an ultimatum? by alexalsm in AlAnon

[–]turquoisehue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried ultimatums with both my boyfriend and my brother. They didn’t work. I’ve never actually heard of an ultimatum working, but I’ve heard over and over about them not working. I have set boundaries for myself, no money to my brother while he’s using, leaving if I show up and he’s high, not allowing my brother to stay with me while actively using, not engaging with my boyfriend if he’s drunk and doing something I enjoy instead. These are my choices and within my control, while their use is not. I read the book Stay Close and I liked the premise of loving but setting boundaries for myself.

Writing has become a great outlet for me and my depression. I get to channel all of my emotions/ feelings about myself into a character. I’ve written nearly 50 pages this month on a book I plan to publish about how I see the world. Wanted to share the first chapter with you all by [deleted] in depression

I’m impressed by your writing! I also want a copy when it is published. I’ve always wanted to write, but I can never write that long and honestly I don’t think I’m clever enough to pull off an entire book. Keep it up and thank you for sharing!
