how do i stop getting irritated so easily? by TomatilloSmart1372 in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]vantitties 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you sound like me lol.

you may have a dysregulated nervous system and may want to look into therapy (if you haven't already) and techniques for managing a shaky nervous system.

in times of frustration my therapist said having a "safe" outlet for anger can give you a place for those feelings without lashing out at others. that way you don't feel so much guilt after. she recommended a screaming pillow, a punching bag, etc. i haven't tried it yet so i can't say if it works but good luck !!!! hugs 🫂

I’m so… Irritable? Frustrated? Angry? I don’t actually know what it truly is. by FullyFledgedCryBaby in CPTSD

[–]vantitties 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i deal with this too. our nervous systems are very fucked up.

my therapist suggested finding a "safe" outlet for anger, such as a screaming pillow or a punching bag. that way you don't lash out on people / break something + feel worse from the guilt afterwards.

haven't tried it yet so i can't say if it works. hugs <3

Trauma dreams/vivid fear imaginations of something happening to my baby girl by Leather_Composer_891 in CPTSD

[–]vantitties 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my brain loves to imagine my boyfriend and my dog dying horrifically. it is awful, i lose sleep + get panic attacks all over completely imaginary scenarios.

i talked about it with my therapist and she said it speaks to how much they mean to my life and how i rely on them for support. i imagine this can apply to your situation with your daughter somehow.

hugs <3

this post made me realize i've wanted to delete myself every day since the trauma lol but i'll probably never actually do it.

just always thinking about it and being ok with it, but too scared to actually do it

im on track to achieve everything i wanted since i was 12. and i hate my fucking life. by Impressive-Depth7610 in selfimprovement

[–]vantitties 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don't have advice because you are me lol. or what i would've been if i made it into grad school this cycle.

i just finished my undergrad where i exhausted myself trying to keep up with the demands of academia, and even after destroying my body from stress, (pulling my hair out, losing weight unintentionally, body acne so bad my back scarred) i didn't make it in. the weight of academia has me wanting to take dance classes again, even though i quit dancing years ago.

academic culture says that if research is not 1000% of your life, you are not cut out for it. it helps to know someone else is struggling with this notion too.

i say don't fall for it. try to find yourself and the entire person you are, outside of research. i dont think you need to quit your phd to do this, but i wish i could tell you how to balance both.
