Getting your medicine right will make a big change. It didn’t cure my sadness and grief and fear and all the things that came with my new circumstances but when I finally got on the right dose of the …
1. Daydreaming that makes you feel emotional isn’t what Murphy or Goddard are talking about. It is about feeling the reality of what you want to have happen now, that is the feeling. Emotions might co…
I have many, many personal anecdotes that prove our beliefs create reality. Some goals/desires achieved are beyond the realm of mere coincidence and far exceed a free cup of coffee. My response to th…
I am in a similar position to you OP. I've been seeing my fiancée for over 2 years. We live separately due to circumstances at her end, and we see each other roughly once a week, usually at weekends…
This is not a competition who is far less irritating or who is more evil than the other. Its about both parties should be taking accountability. I am more than agree with you that AP’s biggest challen…
$300k, $600k, or 10m doesn't really matter. Each successful person finds some sort of opportunity and pursues it. Then they create a system that helps them pursue it because you can't do it by yours…
I own a business. I started with zero. I had a job, but then through interesting circumstances ended up being a business owner. I worked hard for many years. Last year I made 380k. The year prior…
Did leaving this comment make you feel better or stronger? Because I don’t really see a point in coming under a post where one DA asks other DAs about their experience. Your lack of empathy and knowle…
I can say absolutely the same about anxious-attached people, but you don’t see me doing that? You ripped my words out of the context. Do I know that I’m avoidant? Yes. I used to be real bad as a teen.…
Sorry to hear you’re struggling. You must be experiencing challenging circumstances. I’ve said this over and over again. Our parents can’t teach us these skills if they haven’t learned them themselv…
*" I am VERY familiar with the law and with NG's teachings, so no need to reiterate basics and quotes please - I'm asking about your real experiences. What made you actually believe and know? "* Repe…
The same can be said with anxiously attached and codependent individuals though? Some people cant handle boundaries and in turn label them as neglect or avoidance when in reality time is required to p…
So maybe the best strategy is to set some rules for dating. Here's some suggestions: Make it clear on the first date that dating for you is an exclusive engagement. While you are dating one person, y…
Hey i did comment on her video, a few hrs ago. Checked now the comment is not there.. she deleted it i guess. I am sure she is ignoring you in the pretext of changing the circumstances and making th…
Thanks. I may have had a similar set of circumstances in the past. Without the happy end.
I'm still very new to this forum, but from I can see people here tend to explain the totality of events solely based on the attachment theory. While it does explain why someone with insecure attachmen…
I hear you. And appreciate what you're saying. Thing is, DA's have a bad habit of ignoring an expressed need from a partner or hearing it as "neediness" or clinginess. Expressing a need can be seen …
This is really interesting. I’m (DA) on an SNRI, and I have no plans to come off it because I can’t risk becoming depressed again. I was always very DA, even as a toddler. I felt nothing way before I…
Tell me if this works for you: For your first problem, I you might want to wait around for the person who seems to say the things that occur in your own head. Bonus points, if they say it at the same…
I'm sorry for the stress you feel and everything about it. It sounds like your life now revolves around him: \- You continue to have regret and remorse about the past. \- You are actively checking…
I'm a bit torn on this one because on the one hand, it feels like I'm missing a lot of context. But on the other hand, if you're in a committed relationship with someone, you are committing to carving…
From what you've said, it sounds like you think of life to be pointless when lived alone, and seem to be valuing romantic relationships specifically a lot. I would like to posit that it is this excruc…
You are unconsciously putting distance between yourself and others and it's tricking your brain into thinking love isn't possible. You probably need therapy to learn to be vulnerable, as avoidance sys…
If you would rather die than be single, something is very wrong with your perspective. It's not wrong to want a relationship either so I won't say things like "be happy being alone" (although you shou…
Completely different circumstances of course but I’ve also become socially isolated because of choices I made. I’m also working on learning to enjoy things on my own but damn, it’s hard. We’re socia…

I mean, it’s not about imaging that life… it’s just about imagining in your body how you wouldn’t literally die. In fact trying to imagine a life without him that’s ok would be more mentally masterbai…
Your placing way too much on him. You are in control of your own health and your own decisions about how to deal with that. That is on you. If you are unconscious then yes, I am sure he would call an…
Maybe i can add another view there… My sex drive and a good sex life has been important to me since puberty. Because of this selfset value, i learned and looked out for ways to keep it up. It‘s prett…
I second this. Writing a letter for self-reflection is one thing. It ceases to be self-reflection when I am extending the potential for interaction with another person. I think it's very important to …
You have a very interesting perspective that I appreciate. I’m AuDHD which I feel has also affected my attachment style. I’ve been anxious and flipped around from avoidant and fearful avoidant based…
Sure, here is a portion that resonated with me a lot and made sense on what attracts me to the avoidants or unavailable or troubled people. Shall share more if you are interested: The need to be need…
This is really important to know about yourself! There are circumstances that can and will push even securely attached people into anxious/avoidant attachment. What’s funny is both attachment styles s…
They do come back from this but it's so so so hard 💔 I went through an avoidant discard. There was no writing on the wall, 2 very happy years. He used to say he sees us being together forever becau…
Fuck I just want to rage and scream at how fucking unfair this is. Just like the cosmic fucking joke that we were so deeply in love but what felt grounding to me felt destabilizing to him. I would beg…
My CM thoughts have changed to worse, along with the situation. If this is some Neville it gets the darkest before dawn bullshit, I wasn’t expecting it to get that dark in this situation (or for it to…
Makes sense. I won’t quit now especially because sessions still make me feel good but with how bad the circumstances are getting it’s quite hard to believe anything good it’s going to happen out of th…
I don't really know the trigger (though I think circumstances were generally favorable, reduction in stress levels), it was just like I had a moment of clarity where I evaluated my life, saw that my m…
I think it's going to be really hard to say this *for sure* because how quickly or slowly a couple moves forward can vary wildly depending on individual preferences, circumstances, culture, etc. In th…

Assessing Adult Attachment by Dr. Crittenden was a really validating book for myself personally. It isn’t really a self-help book though. But if you have a curiosity on attachment that is more in ali…
I did in fact worry I’d be permanently jaded from it. In our case, it wasn’t so much a situation of anxious/avoidant cycles, it was just the abuse cycle. She was extremely controlling, jealous, would …
Aww, boo. Someone got sick so I had to cancel my murder mystery dinner party that's tomorrow since the game requires that all people are present. And that someone is -her-. And while I don't mind a c…
