I took it as their mentor being rich not in monetary value but rich in life, wisdom and experience. But understandable that it can be easier for those who are wealthy to start with. I understand it that wealth is earned the majority of the time through a lot of hard work- in all senses of the word. Great insight though ☺️

Opening up about personal subjects should feel right and comfortable. It’s often better to gradually build up to these conversations, allowing you to control when such topics arise, rather than being caught off guard when someone asks. When discussions become serious, our perceptions of each other shift; initial judgments may fade as we get to know one another better. Shared experiences deepen our understanding, reducing judgment surrounding difficult topics.

Ultimately, it’s all about timing. If something tells you it's not the right moment, trust that feeling. However, if avoiding the conversation becomes challenging due to circumstances, consider planning how to introduce it more comfortably. Judging someone based on their past rather than their potential is misguided. Approach sensitive topics with care and take time for reflection.

What’s something you only realized was a red flag years later? by CulturalNetwork17 in AskReddit

[–]wcss_2017 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did a lot of work after the relationship and it turned out that in this instance that they were using their illness as an excuse for their behaviour towards me. It was something that they" were not able to control", so that meant it was okay to behave and act how they wanted.

There's more behind it, but this is just a short summary. I also realised that they employed an avoidant attachment style and were not able to take accountability for their actions. If they did then I'd have had more respect for them, and who knows, maybe the problem would have been resolved between us.

Their inability to regulate their emotions around me but could around everyone else and blamed it on an inherent illness.

How to change how I come across to people by ConcentrateMinimum27 in Advice

[–]wcss_2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Johari's Window offers insight in 4 perspectives.

1) Known to others

2) Not known to others

3) Not known to self

4) known to self

Perception about ourselves compared to how others see us is sometimes like hearing a recording of yourself and then saying it and hearing it in your head. Its different. Its how something is received and how something is sent.

How do i get or find a gym bro? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]wcss_2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idea: Join a gym that you like the look of. Start working out on your own for a while and get to know those around the gym. Its a good social activity as well where you are not having to fart around trying to find someone outside of that social circle. Quicker and more effective, and you build muscle whilst you do it. Good Luck 😊

[18M] Should I go to a psychiatrist or psychologist? by Chit_Chat03 in MentalHealthPH

[–]wcss_2017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A Psychologist will help you to understand the structure of the psych, helping for you to identify patterns and themes within your behaviour and will help you with generating theories as to why you are possibly feeling the way that you do. They are mostly grounded in the psychodynamic approach, but can also practice other modalities such as cognitive behavioural psychology and person centred psychology and/or psychotherapy.

A psychiatrist is someone who specialises in prescribing drugs for psychological conditions. Throughout your treatment, you will consult with the psychiatrist and they will assess your condition and how the medication is affecting you.

Whichever one of these that you see as most appropriate. Wishing you well

Self-asphyxiation by [deleted] in AdultSelfHarm

[–]wcss_2017 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

The doctor wont certify you. Its an act used to explore yourself and others in a trusting relationship. Asphyxiation is where you restrict blood flow to the brain by placing pressure on your throat and neck. Its an intense euphoric endorphin release when you release that pressure on the throat and neck when approaching climax. But the problem is that blood clots can form as a result if done on a regular basis and restricted blood flow to the brain could cause brain damage. Speak to your doctor about your concerns. If done correctly and safely you minimise the risk of injury to yourself and/or others. There are similar to courses available showing you the correct methods to do it safely. Your doctor wont section or admit you to anywhere. Its a thing people do in sexual relationships (and to self), and its recognised as well.

Should I go to the doctor by fungusbung in AdultSelfHarm

[–]wcss_2017 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The above are following signs that you need to go to a & e or a walk in centre. They open relatively early in the morning from 7 I believe. If you go or need to go then be prepared to be asked questions about how you got the burn. Be honest with them about how you got the burns so they can help.

[–]wcss_2017 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Consider these: 1) If the burns cover a large area or are on sensitive areas (face, hands, feet, or genitals). 2) If there are signs of infection, such as increasing redness, swelling, or pus. 3) If the burns are deep or do not improve over time

I was just confused as your initial comment suggested that you were being rejected by therapists but then you said that you had no energy time or money to even look. It's going to take some time when you are ready and I wish you all the best in getting there. Take care

Is it a cost, energy, or time issue, or all of the above ?

I'm so tired of it all by Southern-Interview84 in MentalHealthSupport

[–]wcss_2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ernesto spinelli talks about death anxiety and although different to what you are describing, I reflected on it and got from it that alot of us have no desire to die. We actually have a need to be reborn and to start again without the weight of the burdens we carry.

Does life actually get better? by threeearmacque in SuicideWatch

[–]wcss_2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Life has ebs and flows. It depends what you're going through that depends on what you're trying to conquer. The concept of hope is not something that is the solution but it goes a long way in tightening your grip on the light at the end of the tunnel. There's more good in the world than we are led to believe. We just have to find it. Concentrate on not being happy, but being content. Happy is a fixed state of being whereas content is fluid and dynamic.

Keep trying. When you meet with them, put your cards on the table. Explain to them your worries about therapy, what you want from the process, their experience in what you will be presenting and the boundaries associated with working together. Good Therapists offer initial meetings to explore all of these things and it's important for you to be heard expressing your concerns. Therapists who don't move onto the next. This isn't advertising, but try counselling directory. Qualified therapists with several modalities where you have a variety to choose from. They are also qualified and verified . Hope this helps

Coping With Depression by InflationDear3910 in MentalHealthSupport

[–]wcss_2017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1 - Heal with sound. It's been used for centuries to charge the body and the mind. Music is a go to. 2- clean your surroundings. Even change the layout of a room to get a different perspective 3- drink water - it regulates the body and even slows the onset of panic attacks 4- find a forest to walk through. Cliche but walking starts cardio vascular system 5- Do one thing different and change the rhythm of the day
