/feels/ - Advice & Venting

I'm going there as a part of "working on myself" to work on my avoidant attachment but I'm not sure I expect progress. anyone have a good experience with it?

therapy is only helpful if you need coaching on how to make healthier decisions, but ultimately you need to get to a place where you can do things independently and don't have to pay for a support system.

i feel like people who are in therapy for 30+ years a re being scammed, unless they're like severely ill and have no one.

i only work with psychiatrists that are very, very conservative in their prescribing and take what i need help with into consideration, and do not have some sort of weird narrative about me.

it takes time to find the right provider unfortunately, but i am grateful for my current shrink because he actually listens to me about my PMDD and mental afflictions.

he doesn't view me as broken, just someone who could benefit from some medical interventions so i'm not suffering all the time.

i hate ssris tho. those are kinda scammy if you take them longterm. good habits and sobriety will get u there imo after ur baseline is sorted with learning how to be disciplined. discipline is a skill rooted in compassion and takes time like any other. you can't really force the process.

lamictal has helped me a lot, as well as gabapentin and a minipill for my pmdd. i feel lowkey halfway cured and i just started everything like 2 weeks ago. i just need to build better habits.

i'm 1.5 abstinent from drugs too and it helped to not complicate my brain as much.

Licensed therapists are a lot cheaper than psychologists and psychiatrists. Started seeing one after my mental break in January. Doing a lot better now but had two instances of near relapse so I'm continuing with it for now. The one I have is actually conscientious about cost and whether or not I actually need to keep going at the same rate. She was the one who suggested I might be good to drop from weekly to biweekly and we've discussed going to monthly but I don't feel ready for that yet.

I'm too scared to go to one honestly

if you`re scared of judgement you might end up like me. almost 2 years in therapy now and i hide most my problems to appear as competent and functional as possible and even lie sometimes out of shame like a retard. luckily i have public health insurance so its just a waste of time and not money.

Maybe you smell strange

Own it. Bitches hate you cause they know you're the prettiest and they're scared.

Either you're making them jealous, or you have a weird funk.

they might smell your autism

Twice so far. First time a few weeks, second time a few months, both times for psychosis and against my will. First time I was way more chill and cooperative, food was good, interesting new people to meet, made a few new friends and felt like a summer school camp only in winter. Second time they had to wrestle me into the isolation ward as I just wanted the fuck out of there. Then they injected some strong shit in my butt and I can't remember the next two whole weeks, then I came to my senses again after being catatonic and it was just boring wating to be released. It's a necessary evil in my book, at least in the case of psychosis.

im a non native english speaker i was so confused i thought it was a thread only for children to post on lmao

googoogaga

i love that there is a thread on this. when i am off work i will contribute

I was working as a TA while doing my Masters and he was studying for his second undergrad in one of my labs. I don't think there was ever one thing he did to convince me he wasn't using me, but I think I realised it after he camped out for a week while I was managing a work placement out in the middle of no where, just so we could be together during my breaks and time off. He knew he'd only get to see me for a few hours a day and he wasn't getting any sex, but it was more important to him to just be with me. I never thought he was actually attracted me for the first 6 months or so of our relationship, because I'm pretty hideous, but I think it was just the comments he made about things I did and how they made him feel toward me. I'd had drunk guys try to fuck me, thinking I'd be grateful, but no one had ever actually been able to bring themselves to desire me, instead of a piece of my body.

What a charming story. See? Not every guy is bad

He is attracted to me and I’m attracted to him. Neither one of us is beautiful, but we’re young and in decent shape. Most importantly, we have a mutual emotional attachment. Beauty captivates people, but so does humanity. It’s possible to be loved for other qualities. There will always be a more beautiful woman, but they won’t have your personality. As you get older, and as you love longer, you have more to lose in the other person because they become a part of you.

A very charming post!

Insightful.

I'm the joker baby

>don't interact with anything that gives you excessive, undue feelings.
You mind explaining exactly what you mean by this?

>>133240
not OP but I know this feel. I ruminate way to much on awkward or uncomfortable interactions with people. by doing so I relive these negative moments constantly and keep experiencing anxiety, fear, guilt, shame, anger that makes my daily life more difficult. in the meantime the other person probably doesn't even remember it happening.

Yeah no I’m not protecting my sanity everyone can touch it if they want. I’m pimping my sanity out. Anyone can tell me horrific things and tell me the earth is ran by lizard moids and I’ll believe them

browsing crystal cafe while also acknowledging killing children is not something deserving of sympathy is the difference.
Women can be allowed to also feel horny for serial killers, I don't give a shit.It's still gross.

Psychosis is just the new BPD. You have it and you can do no wrong and if you disagree you're an ableist

Cab you guys take this to another thread? People come here to vent about their feelings not debate politics and morality

>>133235

Isn't LC enough for you?

>>132585
what?

>>132586
Why do you have to announce you're black wherever you go? Even on an anonymous website? I just don't get why you can't stay in your dedicated spaces for blackcels if you want to talk about racism or whatever. The only reason this post is here is because OP wants attention and knows libfems here will give her that.

>>132587

This is so mentally ill and weird, kek. No one's "announcing they're black wherever they go", you just have a hateful fixation on black people like the other incels who sperg about and project on other races. You can hide the thread, no one here has ever (or will ever) reach out to talk to you personally. Also, you have no place to call anyone a "libfem", because feminism isn't for you, and you know exactly why.

Probably it being a site for women to talk even though men have been raiding us for years. Is there any website that's like Lipstick Alley for women of all races?
