2023.06.03 14:08 LiteratureFun979 Communication roller coaster - confused
Hi! (M28)
I was talking to this girl for about a month, went on one date. She was really difficult imo to communicate with, but I was trying to be patient cause I liked her.
Started texting and she sounded super into it, but whenever I would ask her out for a drink the conversation would drop and then she would say she was ‘really busy’. No worries, being patient and understanding.
We finally went on one date, and I thought it went really well. But then she started to take 1-2 days to respond to simple text questions. And kept hitting me with, I already have plans. Which is fine, but she wouldn’t give me an alternative day. But then whenever she responded she acted into it, saying “saying next week should definitely work”. But then next week would come and nothing.
So I wish I didn’t now, but after a week of no communication, I wished her the best.
Just confused and blaming myself for maybe not being patient enough. Was I not?

2023.06.03 14:07 mr2506000 Haven’t been able to get out of bed for 6 weeks and I’m starting to think about suicide
Hey guys
I’ve been having a really hard time lately, and right now I’m feeling like I can’t manage this anymore. I can’t remember the last time I felt joy.
I’ve always been a fairly low-energy and melancholic person and have dealt with moderate depression and anxiety over the last 12-ish years (I’m 32 years old). I was managing okay until about 2020 and since then, it’s been getting progressively worse.
I’m now at a point where:
- I never want to leave the house (I live alone) and have only done so a handful of times over the last 12 months (except to go grocery shopping);
- I have no motivation to focus on my job and feel on the verge of getting fired;
- My house has been a disgusting mess for a year and I can’t even muster the energy to clean it;
- I’ve been single for 8 years and have no desire or motivation to even try dating. I got dumped years ago by someone I really loved and I‘ve never been able to stop hurting from that;
- I’ve been trying to finish a degree part-time for years. I’m almost at the end but I’ve started failing all my subjects because I can’t make myself study or attend classes;
- I have no money and I’m in debt; and
- I’ve been dealing with unbearable fatigue. I’ve always had this but lately it’s gotten to the point where I can’t function.
I feel like a complete loser and completely hopeless. I’ve tried various anti-depressants over the years and nothing has made a substantial difference. I’m stuck in this mindset that I’m always going to have a terrible life and there’s no way out.
If anyone has any thoughts / comments, I’d be greatly appreciative. Thanks :)

2023.06.03 14:04 ThrowRA_likethat [29F] My boyfriend (32M) likes to go out a lot and do a lot of activities, while I'm more of a homebody prefer to do more chill things most of the time because of a medical condition that makes me tired. He thinks I should work less so I have more energy to do things with him.
(Sorry for the typo in the title!)
My boyfriend and I have been together for just over 3 years. In the early days of our relationship, we went on a lot of dates that involved being outdoors or doing other activities (e.g. going to the beach/lake, going on walks, spending afternoons in the park, outdoor swimming). However I have chronic fatigue syndrome syndrome and while my symptoms aren't as bad as other people's, after a summer of going on dates like this regularly, I was really run down from not getting enough rest.
Since then I've started declining when he suggests dates like this. Initially I did still try to go on dates like this from time to time, because I know he really enjoys them, but he has a tendency to 'drag' dates out — for example, if we go to the beach, he will want to stay 8+ hours while I will want to stay 3-4 hours; we usually compromise ahead of time but end up leaving later than we agreed because he wants 'just one more swim'. I think this has really put me off agreeing to go on dates like this with him. I have explained this to him, and he initially makes an effort for us to leave at the agreed time, but then falls into old habits.
He usually also wants us to have sex when we get home after a date, and because he is not a 2 minute kind of guy I'm often far too tired for this, which upsets him too.
He regularly brings up that it bothers him how little we do together and that this isn't how he pictured relationships to be (I'm his first serious relationship, for context). I've explained that I can't do everything he wants to do with me because of my condition and he has suggested I try to find a part-time job instead of working full-time like I do at the moment, because then I'd have more energy and could do more with him.
I'm really not a big fan of this suggestion. Working FT I earn about $60k, while he is self-employed and brings home less than minimum wage. We split all costs of living 50-50 (at his insistence) and live comfortably, and I like having excess money to buy things I want and go on nice vacations occasionally. If I get a PT job we'd still get by, but wouldn't have that excess money. He says it hurts that I prioritize this excess money over our relationship and doing what makes him happy. Part of me feels selfish for wanting to still work FT even though I would have more energy to devote to him if I went PT.
I think something that has a big impact on all of this is that he doesn't have very many friends that live nearby (he's from a different country), so essentially I'm the only person he has to do these outdoor activities he wants to with. I think he should try to make more friends so he can do these things with them, while I do my own thing chilling at home. I think we could then compromise on doing the kind of dates he likes every now and then because he'd be getting his outdoor activities 'fix' from his friends most of the time. We could also try to do more relaxed things together more often (like going out to dinner or playing boardgames) for quality time together.
He has suggested that we might be incompatible as a couple because of these differences. Is this the case, or are there things we can do to make this kind of dynamic work?

2023.06.03 14:04 Every-Night6446 If this is a TF connection, I want out
My ex and I discovered the concept of TFs during our relationship, and over the course of the years the confirmations have made it very obvious. He says he is the chaser while I am the runner, and if such a dynamic is universal than I do have to admit he is right because I was the one who broke off the relationship two years ago (before that, we had an unhealthy on an off dynamic). I am much happier not being in a romantic relationship with him, and I do not see myself wanting to date him ever again. He, however, is highly spiritual and I'd say even gifted in that aspect, and he believes we will end up together when I am ready and when it is meant to be. Hence, we have continued being friends, texting every day and so on. I started sleeping with other people and my ex did not take it well, of course. I suggested NC since I wanted him to get over me and find someone worth his love (I had suggested this a million times over the past 2 years), but he refused because he believes we are meant to be and has received confirmations from multiple sources. I do believe he does have a strong connection when it comes to me, for example he would know when I am being sexually intimate with someone else and it is enough to freak out any normal person, except me. Further, he will know when I want to text him and about what; it is almost telepathic.
But while I cherish him as an individual, I do not feel any sexual or romantic attraction to him. I do not share with him the connection he shares with me. I do not feel things the way he does. And when he says we will end up together, I find myself praying for a way out of this connection. I can't imagine being sexually satisfied with him. The thought of dating him again stresses me out so much. It has been 2 years, and I still don't want anything to happen between us. I don't think about him every day, which I have read is something TFs in separation often do. Is it possible this connection is not a TF connection?
For context, him and I have never met in person. We did long distance for multiple years and the connection was electric. This means we never had sex either, but I never felt like the relationship was lacking in any way. I know all of these are very common themes in TF relationships. Reason for breakup was that I fell out of love because I wanted to focus on myself.

If the owner were to take me to court would it hold up because it doesn’t have a definitive end date?

2023.06.03 14:02 markfishersrealism My boyfriend (20M) broke up with me(19F) and it was my fault. What can I do now?
I am 19f and he is 20m. We have been together for about a year now. We go to the same uni so we see each other literally all the time. But now we have a THREE MONTH vacation and so we cant see each other for that long. One month into the vacation we broke up. But things have been rough for a few weeks before that as well.
I hadnt treated him right in the past because of my own issues with past relationship trauma. He was there for me all throughout. He was there by my side very lovingly even when i wasnt nice to him. Even when it was really tough for him. Then I messed up again and it was something he couldnt move past. We come from very different places. I had a history of bad relationships and hook ups. So few months into the relationship, I said i want a break up because i was dealing with some mental health issues regarding being in a relationship(stupid of me). But he was still around for me.
Eventually in a few weeks we got back to normal, just without any labels. Things were smooth for some time.
I f**ked up again. I got on a dating site even though i had no intentions of actually seeing other people. I loved my boyfriend but getting on the dating site was like falling into bad old patterns for me. He found it on my phone and it was a huge breach of trust for him. And ever since that he has been distancing himself. Making new friends and all.
On the day we were saying goodbye before vacations, his attitude changed. We both hugged each other and started crying. Held hands and promised to make it work. We said there's no way this won't work.
But then everything has changed. He doesnt text that much anymore. He doesnt make any plans. He is not affectionate. He has become completely emotionally unavailable. Now his entire focus is student politics. But he keeps saying he doesnt want to breakup when I bring up the topic by saying that this is hard for me to deal with.
We decided to try and we did for sometime but he said it wasnt working for him. He said he still wants to be friends and we might see each other for a few days during the vacation. He said he doesnt "want" to breakup and still loves me which is why he wanted to try but he cant move past whatever happened in the past.
We both agree this is the most meaningful relationship we've ever been in. And I've acknowledged my mistakes and apologized for them. Everyday i regret behaving that way and everyday I'm trying to be a better person.
We still love each other and i know we can make it work if we spend time with each other. But I'm afraid he might move on till we meet again. Because he's mature like that but (please don't bash me in the comments) I'm not.
I have begun no contact (since last night lol). I thought if i give him some time to heal and also use this time to work on myself we might be able to patch things up after the vacation.
But I'm really scared he will decide to completely move on. I really love him and I know i wont repeat any of my past mistakes. i really do. And i just cant lose this. what can i do to get him back? p.s. please be kind in the comments and tell me if i can do anything to get him back.
Should I keep trying?
TLDR: I understand that I messed up badly and i have apologized a lot since then but I cant handle this lukewarm relationship. Its too anxiety inducing. And I badly want to make things work and go back to how it was.

2023.06.03 13:59 Fit-Entertainer-3207 Boyfriend (M26) makes constant jokes about me cheating on him but I (F26) can’t.
Hey everyone, I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years now and we’ve been long distance off and on (we’re both in post college school and sometimes we’re in the same city because we both have clinical for school etc. and we’re planning to be back in the same city next year after we’re both done). But ever since I started dating my boyfriend I’ve always know he was somewhat insecure and I can be as well (my dad cheated on my mom and it was quite traumatic for me to watch them go through and experience). But he will always make jokes like “all the guys are going after you” or if my phone goes off “yeah that’s one of your boyfriends isn’t it”, “I bet you’re going around to see other guys when I’m not there” things like that. He does it a lot and it has been the whole time we’ve been dating. And recently he started a program where he is one of few guys in his program and sometimes I’ll joke with him and say things like “going to study with all your girls aren’t you”, just as a joke because it’s what he always does. But now when I say things like that he says “wow you’re being jealous, you need to relax and I don’t appreciate you saying that” or he’ll get annoyed by it but continues to say those same things to me all the time. I by no means believe he’s cheating on me or anything like that. He’s never given me a reason not to trust him and I’m going to trust him until then. But am I being dramatic or is that a double standard? It’s like he gets to say those things and hurt my feelings/not trust me but I’m not allowed to do the same? Just wanted to see what other people’s outside perspectives were or how to talk to him about it.

Advice [link] [comments]
2023.06.03 13:58 QuarterEuphoric6693 M43 F43 is my gf behaviour a red flag or should I just let it go?
Ive been dating this girl for nearly a year. A couple of months after we started dating it was her birthday I sent flowers to her workplace on her birthday as a nice surprise and took her for dinner a few days later where I presented her with a present that she had mentioned on her twitter feed that she liked.
My birthday was nearly 8 months later and we’d had some ups and downs but I’d gotten her a bag for Christmas and was always generous when we went out paying mostly for meals and drinks. Although we did split other means too.
I would also add that we had an argument about gestures whereby I was being taken to a very fancy restaurant for work. Few days before the dinner she kept sending me messages saying that it would be a good gesture if I took her along or had food sent over for her. I knew she was joking but she kept going on about it until I snapped and told her that gestures work both ways… she still didn’t get it and made a joke saying something like it’s thumb wars. I sent her a voice mail saying look I know you’re just joking but you literally went to Paris a month ago and didn’t bring me anything back despite me saying that I loved French wine. She bought the cheapest bottle she could find for 8-10 euros (her words) for us to share…
She apologised and we made up. But what made me upset was that she didn’t just get it and apologise she made it about her which she has done in the past. Prior to that she had messaged me saying that she’d watched a tv show about working in finance which is what I do. I sent her a funny video of me receiving an award and an old report I’d written to give her context about what I do given she was interested. She didn’t respond even just to say thanks I’ll take a look or whatever. Couple of days go by it was the weekend so I left it. Monday morning I sent her a message saying hello everything ok? She responded but didn’t mention my message regarding the video or report.
I sent her a voice message on WhatsApp telling her I was upset at her non response to my earlier message. She responded by saying that she’s rubbish at communication and emotion and apologising saying that she was waiting to come back regarding the video and report as she didn’t know what to say. This maybe should have been a red flag for my birthday…
So I was planning to go away for my birthday with friends but then didn’t and my gf asked if she could take me to dinner.
She was away the week before in Greece seeing her dad but we had agreed a date for my birthday diner not on the day itself but towards the end of that week.
Day of my birthday she texts me at noon all of my friends and family had texted or called earlier.. to say happy birthday can I book the restaurant now. I was a bit surprised she hadn’t done it earlier but ok.
Day of my Birthday we meet for dinner no card or present but she did pay for dinner. Couple of days later she’s like she would like to surprise me with some new lingerie and asked me what I liked. I’m like whatever you like but she insisted that I give her some options - sent her some and said should I get it for you? She was like yes. Few days later after discussing with some friends I asked why no card on my birthday.
She told me she didn’t think she had to as she was meeting me after my birthday and that she never does blow out dinners like this so I should be lucky. We been out for dinner before so didn’t get this…- subsequent arguments about this and fact I’ve brought her lingerie she finally mentioned that she doesn’t do gifts as she thinks their tokenistic but she does experiences instead. For me dinner on someone’s birthday is a low bar… she told me I should draw a line and she’d do better next time but thanked me for letting her know…
This is something I couldn’t get over and while she offered to return the lingerie we continued to have massive arguments where she finally told me I need to just draw a line under it…
I think my gf likes receiving stuff more than she likes giving them. Should I dump her or try again to explain why I’m hurt?

My story. No holding back on what happened
A friend Someone I could talk to all day to about Metal Gear One of two people I didn't hate at that school Someone keeping me from letting it all out and screaming at my teachers and classmates who all made me miserable. Someone I could be open to about my sexuality. About how I was the only gay person in my grade, in a school full of trumpies that all hated me
You invited me to sleep over Just as friends The tension was high I felt there were words you wanted to say By the next morning you let it loose Asked me if you wanted to go out So timid and nervous Gave me a necklace Rainbow obsidian, a fox My favorite animal With a little letter inside
First date not so good. Second, we were at your house again. First kiss. Lost my virginity. I loved you.
I told you about my home. About the abuse.physical.verbal.so often. I told you about my past. How I turned to awful people. About being groomed by adults for pictures. Starting age 12. Made me feel loved. Told him he made me feel genuinely cared for.
Summer. I was sick in my bed. You asked if you could come. Said no. I was sick. Biked over anyway. Dad let you in. He was working the lawn. Hurt too much to even turn over and look at you. Told you to go away. Said some lovey dovey shit. Don't remember. Sat on the bed and started pulling down my pants. Kicked at you. Got rougher. Forced yourself on me. Tried to fight back. Fell on the floor. Told you to stop. Kept trying. You spit and wiped it down there for the both of us. Stuck it in me. I cried and wailed. I stopped seeing you for a month. But we never broke up really
I started seeing you again in person Back to being my sweetheart At least for a while But hell was on preheat Spent as much time as I could from home Spent it with you in your room At night you started again This time I was silent Deer in headlights I was scared of your parents You would coo me at the end of each session Made me feel loved Made up for what you kept doing Even clean me up of shit and blood I wouldn't move from the bed the next day until the afternoon because I didn't want his parents seeing me limp and waddle. His caring fascade faded as the months went by. Even growled at me to shut up and stop moving one night while he was assaulting me
Didn't mention. He was a pedophile. Even if he was a month younger. Whispered me vile things while he did things to me. Treated me like how you would trying to calm a fussy baby. Sometimes if he couldn't finish in me he'd jack it to cp anime. Bought me little girls clothes to wear for sex.
Two years we were together. The first assault happened a few months in. Assaulted nearly every week.
Funny thing. I was supposed to go to one theater today But someone in our group forgot their id so we went to another theater He and his toy were the only other people at that showing I saw him He saw me They scrambled out of their seats and walked out as fast as they could I yelled at them Get the fuck out Friends were kinda shocked Funny How he's scared He should be And he should know running won't save him Today I'm going to involve the law.

2023.06.03 13:57 DietrichVanMeier 23 M Europe - History and Literature Enthusiast
Hi. I'm looking to talk to new people, maybe make a friend
They are:
History, especially the 19th-20th century but with more broad and general knowedge in other time periods. I'm not an expert or anything but I am pretty passionate about it and tend to read/listen about one event or the other on a pretty regular basis.
Literature, especially old novels. I recently read Demian (my all time favourite book), Day of the Oprichnik, Heart of Darkness, the Perfume and Little Prince. Currently started reading Blood Meridian. Some of my other favourite works would include: "The Picture of Dorian Gray", "Faust part I" (need to get to part II) and "No Longer Human". I also like to write short stories and book reviews. I'd also really like to read the same book with someone and discuss it. For reference my next book will probably be Oliver Twist
Languages. I know three, with one being a bit rusty. I'm currently working to scrape off the rust and then when I'm finished with that will begin to learn a fourth language. It's fun to go through different works in multiple languages. For example, I read the aforementioned Faust part I in all three.
Games. I recently played Cyberpunk 2077. Now that the dust has settled and the bugs mostly removed...It's not that bad! The main questline at least, Fallout 76 (Very average, I'm dissapointed with what they made the "RPG" system) and will try out Deus Ex Manking Divided again ( Got inspired since it's somewhat similar to Cyberpunk). I was waiting to play Elden Ring but it ended being too stressful for me. Go here and get beaten up go there and get beaten up, repeat...Besides that I'm a big fan of Paradox strategy games...like EU IV and HoI IV (also thinking of making my own project for HoI IV). I am definitely looking forward to try out Victoria III, after they add more content to it. I also got Modern Warfare 2, since the first MW had great multiplayer gameplay.
Anime and Manga. In recent times my interest has waned but I still watch the occasional series here and there. Like Cyberpunk Edgerunners (Which I found to be rather mediocre) and the very good new season of Bleach. Some other favourites include: Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Death Note, Fate;Zero, Psycho Pass , Higurashi (season 2 is a bit weak but the first one is a masterpiece of horror), Code Geass, Attack on Titan and others. My favourite Manga is Berserk...I hope it gets a good ending..the first couple of new chapters were...a bit rough but the new author seems to have got his footing.
Anyway, that should be enough information to give you a good picture... Before I go, I would like to ask for you to include the title of the last book you read in your reply. A small request, I feel. I'll be ignoring those that don't.

2023.06.03 13:56 markfishersrealism The breakup was my fault. What should i do?
I am 19f and he is 20m. We have been together for about a year now. We go to the same uni so we see each other literally all the time. But now we have a THREE MONTH vacation and so we cant see each other for that long. One month into the vacation we broke up. But things have been rough for a few weeks before that as well.
I hadnt treated him right in the past because of my own issues with past relationship trauma. He was there for me all throughout. He was there by my side very lovingly even when i wasnt nice to him. Even when it was really tough for him. Then I messed up again and it was something he couldnt move past. We come from very different places. I had a history of bad relationships and hook ups. So few months into the relationship, I said i want a break up because i was dealing with some mental health issues regarding being in a relationship(stupid of me). But he was still around for me.
Eventually in a few weeks we got back to normal, just without any labels. Things were smooth for some time.
I f**ked up again. I got on a dating site even though i had no intentions of actually seeing other people. I loved my boyfriend but getting on the dating site was like falling into bad old patterns for me. He found it on my phone and it was a huge breach of trust for him. And ever since that he has been distancing himself. Making new friends and all.
On the day we were saying goodbye before vacations, his attitude changed. We both hugged each other and started crying. Held hands and promised to make it work. We said there's no way this won't work.
But then everything has changed. He doesnt text that much anymore. He doesnt make any plans. He is not affectionate. He has become completely emotionally unavailable. Now his entire focus is student politics. But he keeps saying he doesnt want to breakup when I bring up the topic by saying that this is hard for me to deal with.
We decided to try and we did for sometime but he said it wasnt working for him. He said he still wants to be friends and we might see each other for a few days during the vacation. He said he doesnt "want" to breakup and still loves me which is why he wanted to try but he cant move past whatever happened in the past.
We both agree this is the most meaningful relationship we've ever been in. And I've acknowledged my mistakes and apologized for them. Everyday i regret behaving that way and everyday I'm trying to be a better person.
We still love each other and i know we can make it work if we spend time with each other. But I'm afraid he might move on till we meet again. Because he's mature like that but (please don't bash me in the comments) I'm not.
I have begun no contact (since last night lol). I thought if i give him some time to heal and also use this time to work on myself we might be able to patch things up after the vacation.
But I'm really scared he will decide to completely move on. I really love him and I know i wont repeat any of my past mistakes. i really do. And i just cant lose this. what can i do to get him back? p.s. please be kind in the comments and tell me if i can do anything to get him back.
Should I keep trying?
TLDR: I understand that I messed up badly and i have apologized a lot since then but I cant handle this lukewarm relationship. Its too anxiety inducing. And I badly want to make things work and go back to how it was.

2023.06.03 13:56 StephaniePriestley Brain fog: A therapists superpower
NHS inform: Brain fog is not a medical term but used to describe a range of symptoms including: poor concentration, feeling confused, thinking more slowly than usual, fuzzy thoughts, forgetfulness, lost words and mental fatigue.
Before the pandemic the term ‘brain fog’ was mainly used within the chronic illness community with many, such as myself, having to justify its existence. I’ve said the words “It’s a real thing” more times than I could possibly count. Well, if I did try, my brain fog would make me lose track anyway. I’ve battled with the fog for as long as I can remember. Some days I just swap out more intellectual words for something Dr Seus would write but some days the inside of my head resembles static from a broken tv. Brain fog becomes a barrier, stopping me from accessing and understanding my own thoughts and leaving me unable to communicate them how I’d like to. On the worst days I can literally taste the word on my tongue and then watch it disappear as it’s carried away from me on a cloud of crackly static. It’s unbelievably frustrating and exhausting to fight with yourself for your own thoughts but even more frustrating to be perceived as less intelligent or less eloquent as a result.
Don’t get me started on how ridiculous and frustrating it is to have a photographic like memory for what feels like inconsequential things and have important, meaningful events locked away from me by my own brain. I would love to know why my brain feels that the exact outfit I wore grocery shopping that one time is important but the due date for my next essay isn’t. Even writing this I can feel my anxiety rising within me trying to grasp for words to write down. My brain swapped ‘inconsequential’ for…never mind, actually. It’s gone again. My most used web page is an online thesaurus that I constantly battle with when I feel like I have the flavour of the word I want but have no idea how to start finding it. You’d think I’d have the vocabulary of Shakespeare if you looked at my internet history. I’m sure I do, It just lives in the magical land at the bottom of the crackly static rainbow. The one that all the other parts of me gets to holiday but I’m stuck in the 1 star BnB that’s listed as ‘cosy’ on trip advisor.
For me, the most debilitating and frustrating part of brain fog is being unable to concentrate and retain information. I’m the person that asks the same question 3 times in a row and then nods in agreement. Not because I’ve understood but because asking a 4th time feels ridiculous so I pretend. In a social setting that is. Why is this my biggest issue with brain fog ? Because I hate the idea that people could feel like I don’t listen or care about what is said. I listen. I listen hard and I care equally as hard. So much so that I decided to make a living out of doing exactly that. Listening. Isn’t that such a wonderful cosmic joke? Make the person that struggles to retain information and communicate how that information lands only want to do that exact thing forever. What’s that saying, though? “Nothing worth doing is easy” or something like that. Well, this is the interesting part. I’ve actually found a few upsides to my brain fog. Don’t get me wrong, it’s horrible and its hard. When it’s hard it’s really hard but when it’s not so hard I feel like a real life superhero. I have spent my whole life with heightened focus, heightened adaptability and the ability to get really creative in order to communicate, make myself heard and, well, just to exist. I feel that by trying so hard to combat an obstacle like brain fog, on the days or hours that it lifts I suddenly have all of these superhuman abilities. It suddenly becomes less about concentrating so hard for a little information and more like being in touch and connected to the world in a way I can’t even explain. Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t a piece about how bad it is to be in the fog and how good it is to be out of it. I’m not going to start telling you how to ‘cure’ it by eating right and getting enough sleep like all of the post pandemic fog experts that seem to be growing like weeds. I want to tell you how I’ve came to appreciate who I am in the fog and how it’s making me a better therapist and person.
I’ve found that living in the fog actually has it’s own set of unique opportunities for growth and development. For me, personally, it’s made me realise that wanting to become a therapist isn’t some kind of cosmic joke but actually something I have always, unknowingly been training myself to be. Firstly, the fog has always forced me to find other ways to understand and communicate. When it has been hardest to retain information and really ‘listen’ to what someone is saying I’ve looked for other ways to understand. For example, when words didn’t quite hold the weight I needed I got the context from body language, tone and non-verbal cues. I’d fit the pieces together in a way that I could make sense of them. This became second nature to me and when translated into a therapeutic setting it allowed me to be able to attune to my client in a very natural way. I’m calling it a superpower because I believe that the ability to become intuitive and connected could be the key to being able to ‘be’ with people. To be more understanding, accepting and open to what makes us human. In my experience, people living with something that makes them different are some of the most accepting and indiscriminating people in the world.
To give it more context, have you ever seen someone deal with a language barrier by simply raising their voice? I used to work in retail and I’d see it a lot and in my experience it only made the situation worse. I found that sometimes the word being understood doesn’t matter, what matters is how the word is spoken and ultimately how the person was made to feel. When in that situation my natural reaction was to accept that we didn’t speak the same language and communicate that it was ‘ok’ in a way universally understood — by my emotional response and my body language. Honestly, sometimes I believe that a smile and a nod could fix the world. This communicated to the person that we were ‘in it together’ and we’d find a way to carry out this transaction in a way that we could both understand. For me, this is an example of brain fog resulting in heightened intuition, problem solving, adaptability and creativity. They might not be in the same league as invisibility or the power to fly but when you’re alone in that fog the ability to make a meaningful human connection beats x-ray vision any day. In fact, I’d even argue that intuitive insight is a real world x-ray vision — just less gross and not as morally questionable.
I’ve talked about my fog creating a less than habitable environment for my words and thoughts but something that I can struggle with is the sheer amount of feelings. My fog might carry away my words but it is the perfect environment for difficult and unwanted swarms of feelings. Brain fog anxiety is inescapable and it is accompanied by a lot of anger, frustration, sadness, grief, loss and confusion. Sometimes it’s so overwhelming that I don’t want to communicate at all because I’m just so exhausted with being exhausted and having to try and explain that to someone else feels impossible. So sometimes I just don’t, and that’s ok. Sometimes I use an old trusty defence mechanism and laugh it off, and that’s ok. Sometimes I am so angry that I want the unfairness of it being invisible to be seen and heard and that’s ok too. Why am I telling you this? Because: Empathy. It has been my experience that dealing with so many different flavours of emotions has allowed me to build up quite an impressive repertoire of things I can deeply and personally empathise with. This is another thing I can thank my fog for in terms of helping me become an effective therapist. I do feel that people living with experience of a chronic illness, cognitive difficulties or any kind of illness really, can engage with empathy potentially more naturally than someone who doesn’t have a frame of reference. In my case, however, I feel that brain fog goes deeper than that. Brain fog has allowed me to be able to experience an array of emotions and understand them in different contexts which ultimately has made me understand how they can be different for everyone, just as they are different for me at different points of the day or different fog coverage.
Whilst my personal motivation for becoming a therapist was driven by my ‘wounded healer’ like internal voice telling me that I can use my pain to help others, I have came to the conclusion that it was my pain that made me able to help others. Living with my condition has made me resilient, robust, adaptable, empathic, understanding and intuitive and I believe that the fog has the power to do that for anyone who finds themselves in it. This isn’t a ‘silver lining’ or call to make the best out of a bad situation it’s a shout out to how badass the fog inhabitants are out there. Just for getting up in the morning — that’s enough. For me, acknowledging how I’ve been able to adapt to the conditions the fog has created for me has provided me with so many opportunities for growth and helped me be able to accept that the fog is part of me. Some days are better than others, some suck. I really want to create a narrative that living with these conditions is all about management and doing what is best for you when, why, how and where it is best for you. It’s not about a ‘cure’ or ‘overcoming’ something. For me, it’s about accepting that this messy, difficult, frustrating and exhausting thing is part of me. In fact, I can’t count how many times I’ve imagined someone stepping on a lego brick barefoot when they’ve told me to ‘get better soon’ or something just as ‘encouraging’. My superpower is navigating the fog and I am damn proud of that, even if navigating some days looks like I’m just sitting on the sofa in my pyjamas.

2023.06.03 13:56 jasperflint I have really missed The Wandering Inn this month.
I started on the audiobooks when there were only the first two, then read the rest. Subscribing to the patron when I got to live.
Since then, I have been up to date, mostly. Sometimes I get a few weeks behind and catch up.
I had one of my semi regular breaks in mid April and caught up in mid may, and this has been the longest I have been waiting for TWI since I started reading it years ago.
These last two weeks have gone so slowly just waiting for more.
In some ways I want the story to end, (not soon), to get the satisfaction of finding out where Erin ends up. And in others I know that I would be inconsolable. It would be like the death of a friend.
Anyway. New chapter soon hopefully hype.

2023.06.03 13:54 virgosunpiscesmoon2 Am I wrong for telling my friends family he's in an abusive relationship with a borderline?
I'm going back and forth with this. I dated a guy with a mix of npd/bpd, and he almost ruined my life completely by trying to get me pregnant and manipulating me into delusion. It was the worst situation I've been in in my adult life, and I slowly realized that my close friend is going through the same thing.
Fast forward to now, she went through his phone and made him cut me off. Everything is "perfect" now despite the fact that two days earlier he was experiencing sleep deprivation, couldn't eat, was coming home to blood all over the place, getting attacked for wanting to spend alone time with friends and family etc. There was a time when she started cutting herself while we were on the phone so he would get off and take care of her. She strongly reminds me of Jodie Arias and she's even a "fan" of her. Knowing I'm the only person who knows how bad it actually is, I'm starting to get scared, so I told him family to check on him.
I sent them screenshots of her conversations, and his and mine. I told them every detail about the abuse he endures because he's too afraid to break up with her because she started spreading rumors that he's abusive, and now has no one to rely on to help him get through this. I feel like I burned this bridge forever, but I'm also scared she'll end up killing him because she IS violent and has extreme empathy issues. I know she had to go to therapy because as she put it, she got so mad at a coworker she had to stop herself from attacking her out of nowhere. She made it seem like she was a lot more stable than she actually is, so he fell into her trap.
Has anyone else ever done this? Did I go too far or should I just let him figure this out on his own? I can't stand the thought of his life either being over or ruined over this girl. She doesn't love him, she's obsessed with him.

2023.06.03 13:53 arrrbooey Graduated 06/01! Diet controlled until last week and a half
Hi all this subreddit has been so helpful so I wanted to write down how things went. I'm obsessed with my little guy and so happy everything went smoothly.
I have been diet controlled with some spikes from week 28 until week 37 when my fasting numbers started to spike from mid 80s into high 90 low 100s. No one told me in the Dr office that once I was on metformin it would be recommended to be induced before my due date until it was practically week 39.
Friday before memorial weekend we were expecting a call to schedule a date to be induced but no one called back. This got me nervous all weekend haha. We actually had a last Dr appt Tuesday after memorial and finally got a call at 9:30am. We confirmed to have it done 06/01 and arrive at hospital the night before to start. At the doctor's appt, I was told I was 1cm and confirmed baby head was down. End weight gain was about 20-22 lbs and my grown scans have shown he was not a big baby or caused any concern.
Arrived at the hospital at 7:50pm to check in. I had not eaten anything for dinner yet. Got settled in and changed by 8:30 and they had me take some oral medicine (forgot what it's called) to soften my cervix. Was told I could only eat until midnight. Ate a small bowl of chicken noodle soup from Panera and a couple of snacks I brought from home. Took one last metformin as well. Sleep was kind of sporadic.
At 8:30 my delivery doctor came in and gave me the rundown and checked that I was 2cm. I was then hooked up to the IV and started pitocin. After speaking with the nurse, gauging pain, and when the anesthesialogist would come to administer the epidural, at around 9:45ish I said I needed to ask for it. Pitocin contractions felt like I was going to explode from the inside out. I had to wait for the fluid bag to empty before they could start the epidural. By the time this was done, it was maybe 11am. Pain level was like an 8-9 and all I could do was breathe and listen to directions. Finally got it done and moved to lay down and wait for it to kick in.
Wow am I thankful for it. I do not know how I would have survived labor without it. It makes me wonder if a natural labor would have felt differently. I could now finally rest and wait until I am 10cm. The adrenaline from the contractions before the epidural wore me out.
I probably was in and out of sleep until just before 3pm. Around then it felt like the contractions felt a little stronger and I thought the epidural was wearing off. Right when I said that and pinged the nurse, my doctor came in, checked my cervix and said well you're 10cm, it's go time 😂
Here is where I thank my weightlifting journey of 3-4 years. My nurse held one leg and my husband the other. To push I was told to do a deep breath, hold, and do a constant push as if needing to poop for ten seconds. Do this three times per contraction.
I did this for maybe 15 minutes with them and my nurse said I'll tell you when to stop. It's insane how much this whole induction was with just nurses. I saw my doctor for maybe 20 minutes total. Anyways they got him in for the final pushes. 15 minutes later he was out!
Immediately he was placed on my chest and I thought I was going to me more emotional, but more so relieved that it was practically over and he was crying on my chest.
I only had a minor tear probably not large enough to be classified. Was stitched up and had mom and baby skin to skin time.
The pushing was the easiest part of all of this 😭. He came to be 6lbs 8oz and 20.5". They tested his blood sugars four times over the course of a day and they all passed! Thankfully my collistrum was enough and found a method for him to feed well.
Overall just so so so relieved everything worked out and thankful for all the previous moms on Reddit writing out their experience 🥰. I'm currently eating a fat stack of pancakes with syrup, orange juice, grapes, pork sausage, and scrambled eggs. 🫡 There's light at the end of the tunnel.
