I use puff and I really like it! I’m very pale w/cool undertones (Irish) and I feel it suits my complexion well
….wait are parents supposed to do that
Was looking for this one.
yup lol, and on the same note it’s also helpful to know in case one has been misdiagnosed in the past with a different disorder that they’re being medicated for, which aren’t working because it’s treating the wrong disorder
no but knowing that your shortcomings aren’t personal failures isn’t something that neurotypical people struggle with in the same way, people with ADHD function differently and therefore can’t always do things as others tell them they should be able to (i.e. just use a planner/a to-do list).
I would have been able to been medicated much earlier, which would have helped me both academically and socially, I would’ve been able to understand where ADHD impacts my ability to function normally and be less harsh on myself, and overall just been able to understand myself better. Before I believed that my failures were because I wasn’t trying hard enough, and I couldn’t figure out why other people could do things so easily when I couldn’t.
I don’t think they’re even talking about a formal diagnosis, even just knowing that they had it would’ve made a huge difference. That’s how it was for me, I didn’t know at all until I was 18 and it absolutely would have changed things.
yessssssss this has been on repeat nonstop for the past week
Finally someone agrees with me on Cruel World! My favorite Lana song.
What grinder is that? I've been looking for one and wasn't sure between manual and electric.
Came here with pretty much the same question you have, been trying to find a grinder for this setup myself.
This was honestly very cathartic for me, I'm glad (?) to hear it resonated with you. I still have a long way to go as far as healing from this goes, but it's nice to know I'm not alone in this.
Exactly the same here. Coping with my mother being a narcissist was hard, but realizing my dad was emotionally unavailable and emotionally neglected me for years pretty much destroyed me for a while.
Yup, it’s hard for me to accept that people do in fact have healthy relationships with their parents/family, and that this desire to connect is mutual. I think it’s important to have compassion for yourself with this. I understand how triggering it is to see moms active in their kids lives, and having good relationships with them, and I think it’s important for you to grieve the relationship you didn’t have with your mom. I think you need to be able to accept that your family was dysfunctional, full stop, I know I have trouble with this too, in order to be able to see that good healthy relationships can happen. You need to see that the bad stuff is actually bad, and not the norm, in order to be able to see the good. Idk if this makes sense or not but it’s something I’ve been struggling with too recently. I think it’s because since it’s your own mom, you accept it as part of your life, even if it’s not healthy, and when you see people experiencing something different, you want to protect them in the ways you learned how to based on your own experiences. Except your experience is dysfunctional, and using that background, you expect dysfunction, even if it’s not the case, and that can be very confusing.
I do have it and I've started it, but it is a lot to process due to what I've been through myself. I should pick it up again though.
Been gathering screenshots of things my ex has said and done, in case I ever have a confrontation with him. I want to be able to defend myself, and I hate what lengths I have to go to to do that because of me being scared of him gaslighting me.
It's so much more difficult when they fall ill, and you know its terminal. My narc mom died of cancer almost four years ago, and I feel guilty when saying that I'm glad she's gone and permanently out of my life. I often don't even mention it to people because my emotions are so mixed on it. I know I don't miss her, and I would've gone no contact with her as soon as I would have been able to, but it's hard to say that I'm relieved about her dying. The one thing that has helped me with this in a strange way is that she died right before COVID started. Thinking about being stuck in quarantine with her..... it would have been a nightmare, to say the least. My life is generally better just through her being gone, but I still wish I had a mom, and miss the idea of having one.... just not her though. Knowing that even if she still was alive I wouldn't have that loving relationship makes it easier to cope with, but again, every child wants their mom, and I often hear people say that you never stop needing them, but that's not something I've ever personally related to with my mom. In my mind, you can have sympathy for her health issues without denying what has happened to you, and without necessarily loving her. Cancer sucks, but that doesn't excuse how she treated me in the past, and I don't have to forgive her because of it. Hope that makes sense.
No same, I've been told I come off as standoff-ish, and idk what to do about that
I like grapes and strawberries but at the same time they don't feel like they're an easy food because the squishy ones always gross me out and I lose my appetite.
God I love asian pears, or just pears in general, so underrated.
The OG is a cult classic for a reason, definitely give it a shot! There’s a reason everyone hated the formula change
What’s the original formula like?
