GaiaParticipant
Well, I mean she would use a tragic, grave and emotionally charged tone, I really don’t know how to explain
GaiaParticipantAm I a bad mother, is that what you are saying, maybe I work too much, maybe I don’t spend enough time with you… oh my god!!! What have I done??? Maybe I created a crazy, troubled daughter because I didn’t do a good job as a mother, oh!!! What is wrong with my daughter? Tell me, tell me, tell me (!) What is wrong with you???
I guess it’s something like that but I am only certain about the tone: grave, corny, serious, very emotionally charged, maybe dark

GaiaParticipant- I remember as a child we were alone driving in car and out of the blue I asked her if I was different from others. This started a very heavy, long discussion in which she expressed concern for this question of mine (I can’t recall what she said, I can only remember she kept on this topic til we got home and I got to bed and I can recall her in the end asking what is that I needed, “maybe a more present, stay-in home mom?” I can also only remember that in my opinion I asked a very innocent simple answer but that she kept on dwelling on this half of the day)
- When I was 12 I was just minding my business in afternoon til she called upon me and started sharing that she always saw me as “sad and lonely” that I only had “1 friend” and stuff like this. I remember not taking it very lightly cause it made me feel shitty with myself and uncomfortable. I already intuitively felt like she projects sadness and loneliness and negativity everywhere and on everyone btw
- One evening me and my sister started to argue/fight pretty roughly and she kicked in by slapping us both and causing both of us to go to sleep crying. The next morning I was very enraged with her but she was the first talking saying “thanks for making me spend the nicest/happiest Easter evening of my life” sarcastically
- She yelling that she was “going to wake in 1/2 hours” those few times I get home pretty late in summer! Crying like something tragic and serious happened while to me it just wasn’t that big deal
- I also recall her being dramatic in general not only with me. Feeling sick physically but lamenting it without properly medicating, doing tragic facial expressions, crying whenever we cried, expressing through facial expressions and moaning how exhausted she was from work, duties, poor health, etc etc
GaiaParticipantHi Anita, yes I have some knowledge over mindfulness and I try to meditate at least 5 mins every night (unless I’m particular not in mood) however these days have been really intense for me and I exactly don’t why. I couldn’t even give myself the motivation to lost or write something here. I don’t know what’s happening to myself, I try to make sense of how I feel and why I’m in pain internally and can’t give myself a proper answer. I guess it’s just another of my self loathing/life loathing moments, that are really intense and leave me in shock. Being with others or my peers is getting too hard again, I feel in chains among people who laugh and have fun and in my mind I wish I could set them all on fire (sorry the language, but I can’t no longer sugar-coat what I feel or think) I feel nauseous and dissociate. My eyes feel blank. I even get suicidal thoughts. It’s just too random and extreme for me to make sense of it, I see someone I like romantically neglecting me, I see myself disappearing in life and it triggers me. Sorry if nothing of this makes sense, I can’t give it a sense
GaiaParticipantYour experiences reasonate a lot, I’d also say yours may have been even more serious. But it resonates. My mind makes a mess out of things, it plays funny things to me. It’s like I have a hard time understanding or grasping patterns or logics I see in my environments, or stuff and conversations around me. I do manage to do some practical things but I am in autopilot mode a lot, my mind works on repetition and autopilot, manages to figure out or resolve stuff before I understand exactly what pattern or logic I used. Sometimes I have to tell myself what I’m doing exactly and where I am, not that I don’t know but to be really aware of what im doing (es: going for a walk and checking some books after sitting down for some minutes and feeling too restless). My mind does messes and chaos out of reality, but I almost always land on my feet if you know what I mean.
GaiaParticipantI try to break the habit but it’s hard. Sometimes I just get apathetic or lethargic and I cant shake it.
GaiaParticipantlet me know what it is, quote that part or parts in my post to you and tell me what about it made you think or feel that it was condescending or insincere etc.
I certainly will, thanks! By the way, I feel very shitty today. I just realized I spent a whole day doing pretty much nothing. Sometimes it shocks me how hours do pass me by like this. I try to study, or hang out, do my chores but then my mind shifts away to nowhere in particular
GaiaParticipantI hope this thread isn’t becoming a burden to you or something you’re forced into. I like it and communication with you cause I’ve gained some really meaningful perspective on myself and others around me, if there is something I can better to make it more “enjoyable” for you let me know!
GaiaParticipantI guess I feel like I am considered difficult or weird to handle and this gets projected on others. I have an image of how others may see me all the time with all kinds of unpleasant considerations others may use. In the past I had people who gave me the impression to trying to give me advices and support while actually being condescending and using faux consideration to subtly put me down or treat me like trash, I guess this always sticks with me in my mind
GaiaParticipantI tried to explain it the best I can. It’s not always easy for me to explain fully and in detail what I feel or think
GaiaParticipantI mean that I seem defined by my anger or my anger issues everywhere I go, but this has more to do with how I feel personally than someone else really defining me (I hope it makes sense!) Just like I also feel defined by my clumsiness, detachment, incapacity or invisibility in interpersonal settings. Soon or later someone will point out these things in me whether explicitly or not and so my interactions always follow same patterns and feelings
GaiaParticipantSo what am I supposed to do to release all this pent up anger? Besides, I’m done and sick with being labelled constantly as the “angry person” I’m a bit afraid is happening in this threat too, or maybe it’s just my own projections I don’t know.
GaiaParticipantSeeing a reflection of self in my parents wasn’t something I quite much considered. What confuses me is that when I was little I didn’t really have a bad consideration of my mom, even thought I’m revealing flaws or bad aspects in her parenting that I really didn’t in my childhood. Definitely I already sensed heaviness and toxicity in her so that might have definitely influenced my moods and sense of self today. Don’t know if I already told it, but in my inner healing journey, I came to the conclusion that what my inner child/child self lack(ed) was joy and lightness. Something pretty much never granted from such a melodramatic mother but that should be a basic right/need for every child, cause children need to be light-hearted and carefree. Even thought inside of me I don’t feel like an adult yet, despite being physically adult, I neither see myself and neither saw myself as carefree or light-hearted, not even as a child
GaiaParticipantThere’s not something particular I’d say but I can be very mean or go cut people where it hits them more or where they go suffer more. I’m afraid that one day someone will make me snap and I’ll threaten their or my safety in some way. Sometimes I am really scared of what I am able of
GaiaParticipantSometimes I feel like I could kill people with words or I feel like I am possessed by some evil cruel energy. If I am provoked, I like to be mean or sharp with others
