  • I'm sorry to hear that you go through the same thing.

  • At one point I bought CBT for Dummies but I didn't get very far. I'm trying to be introspective and examine why I feel this way, but I just end up in a spiral.

    My therapist is pretty good, I think. I've had others in the past that took a more active approach, gave me more coaching, and stuff like that. This one does a lot more just listening and pointing things out. It's definitely possible there is one out there I would work better with, but we have a good rapport and I don't want to switch.

  • I haven't heard of DBT but I will look into it. Thank you for the suggestion.

  • I think based on past experiences I have a major fear of abandonment, and I see every ending as being abandoned. I also have little to no confidence in my ability to meet anyone new. I feel like each time it happens that was my last chance.

  • It's hard to see them as temporary, but I logically acknowledge that you are definitely right. But I think my emotions are feeling hopeless right now and I can't Socratically walk myself out of it. I think hopelessness is the best way I can describe it. Maybe despair. I can try and get outside some tomorrow. A lot of times I get to places like a park and just want to go home as soon as I'm there.

    I also feel like I'm coming off very contrarian which I hope isn't the case.

  • I do journal, but very infrequently. All the happy memories that came to mind were all of girls that eventually lead to heartache. It's hard to separate them when they're so tied together.

    I can try to do something over the next few days. But sometimes it's the evening weekends that get really hard. When you somehow managed to scrape your way through work but there's nothing else to do. I used to drink probably too much. But even when I wasn't in the middle of something like this it had more to do with the damn boredom. Right now I'm actually too depressed to drink.

  • That all sounds fun and I'm glad to hear you have those things in your life. I'm just not sure what the equivalent would look like for me.

  • I had amazing friends growing up. Now I feel like I have no friends at all. I just joke that I know a lot of people who would be offended if they heard me say that. The truth is I still have them but they all got married and had lives and kids. I rarely hear from them and see them even less frequently. Sometimes I feel like I just got left behind.

    I'm struggling to think of any happy memories at the moment that aren't associated with negative memories later on. That's not to say I don't have any happy memories. I'm sure I have many. I'm just not in the headspace to find them.

  • That's true about meeting human needs. I have the same struggles trying to meet people on dating apps when I'm like this too, but I think what you said is still a strong point.

    Anxiety/depression and ADHD diagnosis. Since I was in middle school.

  • Ugh. That really sucks. I was just thinking about Gus Johnson the other day. I stopped paying attention to him several years ago but I always thought he was pretty funny. That's such a bummer to hear. Looks like I won't be revisiting his stuff.

  • I have a touch of the stupid. Is the implication that the mother ate half of it, or that something else did and she continued protecting it despite it being dead?

  • Serious question: is this as big of a deal with lesbians as it would be for gay men?
