Sure. And. When one's situation of birth is being surrounded by men who behave like dickheads, it's easy to conclude that there is a high probability that there are more men out there who behave like dickheads.

Not sure.

Certain small moments or 'little things'. Followed the old school bus route I took when I was growing up. I can remember the days where sun broke through the clouds. Beams of light and 'silver linings'. Days the sky did this felt special. I do miss that experience. I can't imagine being on a...

What do you think happens to someone who once had a 'good enough' self-worth, but gets brainwashed or re-programmed to have a terrible self-worth?

About 7 hours, split between 2 hrs and 5 hrs. Would be nice if there was no gap between sleep, but 7 hrs total is workable.

Wouldn't this blindspot imply that the person with the blindspot might replicate the abuse having little to zero awareness that their actions were abusive? You reasoning here leads me to that idea: Especially when so young, there's a good chance abuse survivors won't register the abuse as...

Grief, hope, faith, fear, nervousness, anxiety, excitement.

I can see how this adds to frustration and stress. This sounds like an acceptable response from a friend who is legit busy, but not a romantic partner. Have you considered having a conversation about (the importance of) prioritizing each other in your lives? I also do not want to make you...

Have you considered stepping away from work and/or school to see if you anger and symptoms calm down? Might be nice to catch your breath, get some distance from the stressors, assess yourself, and identity other triggers. Medication might only be necessary if you want to keep worked under the...

I struggled multiple times maintaining part-time food service jobs while in undergrad school full-time. Ended up creating a pattern of quitting the jobs a months or so before midterms/finals when the stress became too overwhelming. Working full-time and being in school full-time would have been...

Like Friday said, the medication situation can be temporary. Before taking a new medication, it might be wise to ask if they are addictive. If they are, your fear about not being able to completely rid yourself of the substance/medication is real and should inform your decision in finding a...

When you artistically 'create' or 'innovate' a weekly chore routine, so you don't have to waste precious mental resources thinking about what chores to do. Automatically getting up and moving to do the chores when you've assigned them to yourself provides physical and mental benefits that aid in...

Yes. Sadly, what you are describing seems to be the 'norms' of human socialization in today's western society. Some people might call this 'tact'. Having a public self does mean putting on a 'performance' to an extent. Not being straightforward and concealing what you really mean is taught to...

Researching and brainstorming potential goals/projects to develop a more concrete vision of a better future

Going to second this. Want to add that immersing in the emotions and sitting with them is my go-to for certain flashbacks, SI, SH, collapse/dead states, etc. I like to wait until they pass (although I'm still working on transferring this skill to other triggered states.) Since it's an entire...
