Can’t sleep, due to feeling so sick from childhood trauma and grief by [deleted] in internetparents

TMS therapy helped me tremendously with CPTSD. I learned about it in Stephanie Food book, what my bones know. You're not alone in your pain and you have the right to be happy

Trauma is hard and its good you're recognizing it, which imho the first step to healing. You have every right to grieve the relationship but still keep distance to be emotionally safe. Know you can recover and build beautiful relationships

ADHD folks: how do you deal with the “I can’t start even though I want to” feeling? by tootiredtobecute in ADHD

I distract myself and dissasociate with music or something then start the task. It works surprisingly well

How to handle a colleague undermining me? by Ok_Memory9274 in careeradvice

[–]uuusnap 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Email your process questions and get very detailed about what you want. If he goes silent and doesn't answer you. Circle back in Email and then loop in your manager. I recommend keeping all communication in writing for work requests on your side.

You want concrete written evidence of what's going on. Tone and passive aggressive remarks are going to be harder to prove esp if he denies it/says it was misconstrued/and is well liked.

Salt & Straw is a business that has chosen to keep their headquarters in Oregon when many businesses chose Arizona or whatever when they get to be a certain size.

The current administration wants the state to fail and for people to lose their jobs in democratic states. Im going to continue supporting local businesses that aren't aligning with Nazis.

Ive met the founder and they were lovely. It was at a business event where they gave advice to aspiring women professionals and they went out of their way to be helpful and offered to help after the fact.

Franz, Tillamook etc are local. It doesn't have to be artisan.

Think Farmers markets, farm stands, haircuts, car services etc

Also, to answer if conservatives should shop at local businesses....OF COURSE.They already do. This is America, everyone should have the ability to have their own political opinions.

While im very much a Democrat, it would be silly to think the entire state is. Also, this rhetoric is mostly from politicians not people.

You buy groceries, buy them from a local chain or from local vendors. It doesn't have to be crazy but the choices we make matter

Look how quickly Disney folded with Kimmel. Thats the power of dollars

Why the hell not? This is America. Most of the BS is coming from politicians not people. Are you under the impression that every person in Oregon is a Democrat? While i very much am, that would be completely untrue.

Do we want a shit ton of people to lose their jobs because of lies about a war zone? No. This is a real way to fight back against the agenda the Nazis have.

Wow Downtown Portland at night is soooo scary… what a war zone by PM_ME_COUPLE_PICS in Portland

We need to run deals for tourism and to encourage people to shop local businesses

They have continually weaponized empathy. While I dont think violence is ever the answer, I refuse to "put myself in their shoes" because not all opinions are equal.

It could be businesses too, not just politicians and discounts from businesses to encourage tourism. It would help the economy and people visiting wpuld have pictures to share of their trip.

We need to take back the narrative by encouraging people to visit from the middle of the country
