c/attachment·4 points·16d ago
on Can an anxious attachment person and an avoidant person ever actually work?
The avoidant and anxious attract because they each mirror the other's wound.
c/trauma·17 points·17d ago
on What does healing from CPTSD actually look like? I feel like I'm going in circles.
It looks like two steps forward, one step back, and a lot of confusion about whether you're actually getting better.
c/relationships·2 points·22d ago
on How do I know if my relationship is holding me back?
Saving this. I've been circling the same thought for months.
c/general·7 points·26d ago
on Does therapy actually work, or is it just venting to someone?
It took me three therapists to find one who actually helped. Don't give up after one.

c/self-esteem·5 points·2mo ago

on How do I stop comparing myself to everyone around me? It's ruining my life.

Comparison is measuring your insides by other people's outsides. You don't see their inner world.

c/anxiety·8 points·3mo ago

on Are we anxious because we are too self-aware?

Anxiety and intelligence are correlated. Make of that what you will.

c/personality·2 points·3mo ago

on What is BPD and how do I know if I have it?

This is exactly it. Thank you for putting it into words.

c/depression·5 points·3mo ago

on I am depressed and I don't know how to come out of it. What do I do?

I thought I had to feel motivated first. Turns out I had to move a little, then the feeling followed later.

c/trauma·5 points·4mo ago

on Can you heal from CPTSD on your own, without a therapist?

I still freeze. The difference is I can come back sooner, and I don't hate myself for it as much.

c/trauma·7 points·5mo ago

on What approaches are most effective for healing from complex trauma?

Going in circles is often the work, not proof that you're failing the work.

c/depression·50 points·5mo ago

on I think I'm depressed, but I still feel happy occasionally. What is wrong with me?

Depression is no longer stigmatized as it was. Please attempt a self-report of symptoms and see a physician. Being happy occasionally doesn't disqualify the diagnosis.
