    Beyond stressed. I feel both my parent and partner tugging at me and I am losing myself in the process.. it’s very triggering because it’s reminiscent of my childhood. Emotionally gaslit by my parent and her having control over everything and i just feel paralyzed from the trauma and loss of control. All the pressure and stress from my intense…[Read more]

      Your parents and your partner should treat you with love and always be there to support you @invincible, you are such a lovely, wonderful and amazing angel who deserves happiness in your life sweetheart, don’t let them gaslight or bully you Cecelia, you have been through so much sweetie and come out as a brave, strong survivor Cecelia, please…[Read more]

    • That last line just hit right in the spot… You are not a priority to yourself. It did hit a soft spot to me too, because I’m the same way. It’s very difficult to change that if it’s something you’ve been doing for a long time. Even so, you have to treat yourself with the same kindness and love that you would treat a loved one. This won’t…[Read more]

    • I view life as a mathematical consequence game, and sometimes one problem leads to another, and you may feel that everything wrong had to happen simultaneously. My solution to this was practising discipline about how I react to situations and turn those hardships into lessons to be learned or challenges to be won.

    Not me having a spicy dream w/ my boyfriend whom i am super passionate about in every single way, and then in the dream suddenly my ex (big regret disgust) and BOSS (abusive) show up… totally ruined my mood this morning LOL. having anxious dreams lately. :(

    • You truly deserve to have dreams about and spend time with people who bring you happiness, love and support @invincible, don’t let anxiety and horrible people get you down beautiful Cecelia, remember to focus on making your relationship with your boyfriend stronger and letting each day guide you with positivity, hope and brightness sweetie, smile…[Read more]

    • *facpalm* Absolutely ruined the dream xD. The worst part it’s that you wake up with negative feelings that are hard to shake off during the day. Try to do relaxing routines before bed time, so the chances to have bad dreams decrease.

    Yes, it’s moving fast. But it’s my life. My choices and my relationship. Moving this fast could result in a marriage of 20 years. OR it could end in a few months. Either way, it’s my life. And I am not afraid of living. If an outsider is, well, focus on yourself boo.

    • Don’t let anyone dictate to you on how to live your life @invincible, remember to be positive, optimistic and bright beautiful angel Cecelia, focus on making your relationship with your boyfriend stronger as each day passes sweetie, do not let anyone or anything stand in the way of your happiness Cecelia, everything will go amazingly for you…[Read more]

    • Moving fast does not equal moving towards the wrong direction @invincible. Just to give a little example, my partner asked me to live with him when we were just one month into our relationship as a couple (we were friends from a year ago). We finally moved in together when we were 10 months into the relationship. We are currently into our 2 year…[Read more]

    Love is and should be about accepting and adoring the good, the bad, the easy, and the hard. Not just infatuation and idealism.
