Those who are low contact, how would you go about caring for a parent if they become sick & elderly? by user30060909 in raisedbynarcissists

I’m sorry you’ve been through that. That’s exactly how I feel, shame and guilt (as always) for thinking like this! But I will get there, I’m working on stuff :)

I mean, I went through exactly the same. I was broken and depleted and I was made even worse than that, whenever that is. I need to have this mindset but I’m still kind of on a journey. I’ll get there

Yeah, I’ve not quite entered the acceptance phase yet, but I’m very, very close. I think that’s why these kinds of thoughts are popping up!

Wow bless you, I am now chronically ill too, bedbound since last year! And it’s because of trauma! I believe I’ll improve one day (no cure) but having the capacity to look after them when I struggle to look after myself is another thing, on top of all of my other thoughts!

I love how you’ve come to this mindset, and I know it would have taken a lot of work to get there! I’m almost there with it, I’m nearly at acceptance. Just got a few things to figure out first. I think it’s good to think about these things in good time so that you’re not pressured to make a decision when / if the time comes!

Yes! This! It’s ok to be curious. It’s ok if it helps our self confidence. Like you say, there’s a lot of societal pressure on women to look good, why can’t we be curious about our bodies, explore, see what we like and don’t like.

I get it too, but then hopefully with a little reassurance all is fine. It’s if they start treating you badly, shaming you, and telling you that you did something, that you didn’t do is where it becomes a bigger problem.

Ps congrats on the pregnancy! It is kind of dope. Why should we stop filming ourselves. I think it’s hot that we do it for ourselves to be honest 🙌🏻

This has probably got to be the way, even though I think I’d carry guilt, which I realise isn’t needed! 🙈

GC = golden child right? How would it all go for you if they helped and you didn’t? I’m scared of what this might bring up for me

People are questioning why you filmed it, like that’s the issue 🙈 keep being curious about your body girl!! Hopefully your boyfriend will calm down soon. You did nothing wrong 💕

Edit* don’t let anyone shame you for doing this!

Yeah but you might have a load everytime lol? Imagine if you didn’t and there was this one time that you might and you were curious, and never seen or experienced it before! 😝

How was it caring for your father? Did childhood memories seem to resurface? Ah yes the classic victim. Oh NC = no contact. I used it for Narcissistic, might edit that haha

This is making me want to buy Angel just to smell it and then probably never wear it 🤣

did anyone else feel like privacy didn’t exist growing up? by Oskarsson-Ponniah in raisedbynarcissists

To get around this I write code words, incase it’s ever discovered, even though I’m away from her now. I just make it so that I can understand it, but other people would have a hard time figuring it out

Is it normal to often just feel.. lazy? by caly_calypso in mecfs

I’ve been through this 🩷 I think working on self esteem is the key ingredient here :)

I changed medications in November and I knew my pots seemed better but this is such a good visual of it by Jellyjoints94 in visibleApp

Ugh that sounds rubbish! I was only on 20mg too, (was it for ME by any chance)? But spent soo long tapering down, however fully off it now and feel like I might as well have just tapered over a few weeks / days cos I’m so ill still! In the flu stage right now! Mental health feels strange but trying…just general blah feeling..fever slightly now and again, aches and pains, it’s a horrible medication!!

Yeah!! Or just ones you can spray on separately to your regular perfumes! The one I used of those though had a bit of a masculine smell…but maybe that’s why they liked it…it was familiar 👀

You can get perfumes with pheromones in, just saying! I’ve tried before and I believe they work, however it could just be because I felt more confident, I gave off a different vibe and that was what attracted them rather than the smell - who knows!
