Such frequency heavy days! How do I get better? — A short while ago I was pushing to my limits doing the best work. Now, there happen to be days where my mind just says nope. So many days off late. I cannot wrap around tasks. A constant feeling of be…

How do I (35F) tell my dad (70F) we want to severely limit time with his wife (70F)? — My dad got remarried a few years ago to a woman who is, without a doubt, the most mind boggling and frustrating personality I've ever dealt with. While she has welcomed us into their home and cooks fo…

NMom sabotaged vacation, attacked my wife, showed no interest in 9mo grandson — A few months ago, we went on vacation with my mother when our son was 9 months old, and her behavior was extremely stressful. She constantly made jabs at my wife, showed hardly any interest in her gra…

I can relate to you, I think people don't talk often enough about how dark and suffering it feels to be at the other end of the spectrum. People tend to only discuss the aftermath of how you should pi…

Feel it, sit in it, grieve it, cry it out. Then, journal it, pray over it, cry more of it out. Eventually peel myself off the couch, wash my face, sleep it off. Start with some under eye patches…

Oh yeah, 'cry it out'. That was a parenting advice thing in the 80s. Yes, children need to self-soothe, but there are specific ways to do this method appropriately, and they don't involve ignoring a c…

same as 'cry it out' type approach - shocking

It's sad but cry it out culture is still very prevalent in the USA. People pride themselves on letting their baby cry it out as a form of sleep training. It is totally neglect and abuse. 

It wasn't the 80s, cry it out culture is still very prevalent in the USA. It is very sad. Check out the r/sleeptraining sub. Horrible stories of people giving advice and telling stories about leaving …

When we had our first kid he was having trouble sleeping / settling. My mom was telling my wife “just let him cry it out, he’ll soon learn to settle himself”…and that’s how I learned some of my neglec…

My parents would tell a story about how when I was a baby they were sleep training me (cry it out, ofc) and I cried so hard I threw up, and then they LEFT ME UNTIL MORNING in my crib full of puke in t…

Mine went back to work after 6 weeks in the late 80s. I was also frequently the last child picked up from childcare. After I cut her off in 2023 I found out she did the 'cry it out' shit to me as a ne…

I am 40 and have been in non stop relationships my entire adult life. I realized I took on characteristics of each guy. I am now going through a divorce (8y dating 6y married) and I am finally ready t…

well im a beginner but here's what i do, i have personal diary where i write about all my frustrations and follow it by saying "its okay that i feel this way, but i trust me and the universe to get m…

It took me about 3 months to get over my last breakup. Me and my ex still hangout, talk daily, hookup, but it’s totally chill now. For the first 3 months I cried almost daily and couldn’t eat or sleep…

My dear, I'm sorry you see what you see in my message. I'm not suggesting you stay in the trauma. I'm saying you can't "repress" it. It will remain unless you accept it, learn from it, and, forgive m…

Heyyo, I've (34M) thankfully gotten through the worst of my divorce so I figure it's worth paying it forward to other folks on this sub. We were together 10 years before the start of the separation …

True. I keep telling myself it's okay to be sad at the moment, cry it out, being depressed (for a while) until I accept the whole situation. Just like 5 stages of grief.

My mother was not maternal and utilized the cry it out method. It's an oldschool "solution" to a crying baby. Leave them alone, and eventually, they'll stop. One of our first lessons is that soothing …

Why do you think you were a quiet child who never showed your emotions? Maybe you became self-contained and learned to minimize your needs and not express feelings because of the way you were treated…

"They say [leaving a baby to cry it out] is good for developing strong, healthy lungs and an independent nature" -My grandmother's generation, apparently.

On the tapes, no, not yet. Still pretty new to them and have been busy these last two days so there's a small pause. I'm gonna go back in tmw tho! I have other experiences outside the tapes- as I find…

Hey look—he sounded like a burden. And no, you can’t just “get over it” like your family said, it’s not as easy as that. Maybe try reframing it? You’re not stuck with an emotionally incapable toddler …

The only thing I can think of is that I mentioned I was going to be wearing my glasses bc I'm out of contacts atm but that's a ridiculous reason to stand someone up. Realistically I know it's no los…
