Hi, my name is NadCo05. I'm here because I’m looking for support with some relationship issues. I can’t talk to my friends or family because they judge me and I end up with more anxiety and depression. I’m going through a hard time. I can’t seem to move on from a situation. I’ve been here before and I’ve healed myself but this time I’m stuck and don’t know what to do. I would appreciate some support.
Our roots won't split through hit or miss
We gonna break through the pressure
Find a way back to center
We've seen it all, bring it on
Our scars, and bruises,
don't mean we're losing
We're not afraid to start over
Every try gets us closer
We try again, and again
…Eyes are locked in
…We got a vision
Steady as we go
Steady as we go
Through all the trouble now, all the unknown
Our patience is power, the rest, we let go
Steady as we go
The fiercest love is driving us
The world we're building is sacred
We'll give more than we're taking
We forgive, we believe
…Eyes are locked in
…We got a vision
….Sweat turns to glistening
Steady as we go, (through all the trouble and all the unknown)
Steady as we go, (my patience is power, the rest we let go)
Through all the trouble now, all the unknown
My patience is power, the rest we let go
Oh, child I know, it can feel like nobody's listening, everybody's too tired
But you gotta know, you uplifted me
And you're laying me a new fire
Every step of the way, no matter what it takes
I'll be by your side, one step at a time
…
Steady as we go, (through all the trouble and all the unknown)
Steady as we go, (our patience is power, the rest we let go)
Through all the trouble now, all the unknown
Our patience is power
Steady as we go

Don't try to take this from me
Don't try to take this from me
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
…
Feels like I'm waking from the dead
And everyone's been waitin' on me
'Least now I'll never have to wonder
…
I thought that we could brave it all
I never thought that what would take me out
Was hiding down below
Lost the battle, win the war
I'm bringing my sinking ship back to the shore
Starting over or head back in
There's a time and a place to die, but this ain't it
…
Don't try to take this from me
Don't try to take this from me
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
….
Wish I could find a crystal ball
For the days I feel completely worthless
You know I'd use it all for good
I would not take it for granted
Instead I have some memories...
…
At the least, they will remind me not to make the same mistakes again
Lost the battle, win the war
I'm bringing my sinking ship back to the shore
We're starting over or head back in
There's a time and a place to die but this ain't it
…
There's a time and a place to die
There's a time and a place to die
..,
And this ain't it, this ain't it
This ain't it
…

Take the power back, baby
…
No sense chasing what you could've been
Let these battles make a champion
Say hello like it's the first time that you met
You're so beautiful, I won't leave you again
I'm finally seeing who I am
I feel the power coming back
I hold my heart in my own hands
I feel the power coming back…
No matter your features
We're all the same tender loving creatures
Taking steps upon the earth
Don't need anyone to tell you what you're worth
Say hello like it's the first time that you met
You're so beautiful…
…I'm finally seeing who I am…
…I feel the power coming back…
…I hold my heart in my own hands…
…I feel the power coming back

(And this is true for outgoing and incoming communication.)
My visual communication diminishes some when overwhelmed, but it stays much more intact. In other words, when very overwhelmed, I’m still able to communicate visually but much less so verbally.
I think this is why I readily turn to others’ words when cognitively or emotionally overwhelmed. The words of others help me through and to process when I am ‘shutting down.’

My therapist suggested I subscribe to Audible so I can make it through more books in a shorter amount of time (genius, really). 'Unf*ck Your Boundaries' by Faith G. Harper was the first book I chose, and let me tell you what... if you're someone who struggles with creating and maintaining boundaries, I highly suggest reading this. Just wanted to share. Hope you're doing ok out there ✨️

Trigger warning: emotional content / postpartum feelings / relationship stress
I have a husband who is a veteran with PTSD — and some days I wonder which one of us is the ill one.
Some days he’s the storm and I’m the steady rain keeping him afloat. Other days the rain is coming from my eyes and he’s the one who’s worried for me, unsure how to console me. There are even days we’re both suffering, trying to hold it together for our toddler and for the sake of her childhood.
Today it was my day. I found it hard to believe any of his actions were out of love. He took the day off — but it felt like blame for my struggles. Maybe it’s rejection dysphoria. Maybe it’s the tone of his voice or the words he uses. He hasn’t been around love; he’s unsure how to sound kind, and when I spiral he often doesn’t know what to do. That makes everything worse.
I’ve been having crying spells the last two days while I wait to get my birth control implant removed. It hasn’t been working for me — my hormones are out of whack, I’ve been bleeding nonstop for almost three months, and the last two months have been especially rough. I feel trapped in a broken body. It takes hours after a spiral to come back to myself and I feel so foolish and alone.
I miss my old life before motherhood — not because I don’t love being a mother, but because I am desperate for a break. I can’t remember the last time I felt rested. The dishes sit for days, the brain fog is suffocating, and I feel constantly let down when I reach out for help. My house is a disaster and my husband has to manage it on top of what he’s already carrying. I keep fighting through it, but I wish there were people who could come help.
I just registered at the VA for health insurance and I’m hoping this is the first step toward relief.
If anyone feels like this: you are not alone.
2 reactions Hi, my name is RoamingCrane7711. I'm here because
after explaining my relationship with my mother to my friend, who is a doctor, she said it sounds exactly like Stockholm Syndrome. I’m 52yo and 7 years ago I finally figured out why all the bad things kept happening to me. My mother is a Sociopath. The trauma has been hard to overcome, maybe never will.
I read somebody’s story here about breaking up with her parents. I admit I’m jealous that she gets to do that while her kids are young. Mine were already in college by the time I found out. the breaking up was so hard. I lost my little sister in the process who is a lot like mom. That’s the biggest heartbreak of all.
i pray others find their courage young too.
Anyway, glad to be here with others. It can feel lonely in this space sometimes.
