ConfusedParticipantHello anita, i hope u are recovering well!
I for sure over analyzed everything because i was panicking and didnt know what was happening, but because i cared for her i wanted to not leave her in the dark wondering. But it backfired..
I will never overexplain or analyze to anyone ever again without being sure first. That was a big mistake.
Hi Alessa
I did yes and i felt a bit let down by her responses, but i cant blame her because she felt like i was telling her this whole thing was a lie and i wanted out indirectly.
I shared many things that were not valid (while we were searching into what could have happened to me)
Its difficult to keep score, i usually talk things and move on if i can. I am mostly positive though.
I have huge anxiety, i was trying to find out why this happened and how to get my feelings back, if its the end and so on.
I am catastrophising a lot in my life/relationships and it feels like an automatic mechanism.
I know it probably will sort itself out but i feel like if i deprioritise, it will go away.
ConfusedParticipantI told her that it could be because of our frequent communication, because of her showing too much love, limerence, adhd hyperfixation/ocd, because i didnt set firm boundaries (which is true), because i was feeling too much and some other things that eventually got her start “hating” our relationship, since she interpreted them as very negative things, so she started disconnecting aswell. I feel like i’ve fractured a good part of our bond and that makes me sad.
I don’t know if that’s possible, since the first one, the intense, is only present because of the dopamine (i guess).
The normal one is good too, but right now it’s the numb/depressed version which im trying desperately to get out of.I have never done meditation, don’t know how it works.
ConfusedParticipantThat is the part of me that gets activated when in love/infatuation and he is very lovable.
ConfusedParticipantIt is a part filled with joy, positivity and happiness. Motivated and driven to do a lot of things, loves being caring and giving to people, taking care of my SO is very fulfilling. Also kinda tireless, energetic, full of dopamine and serotonin.
I dont think i can make it any longer but all & all, it feels euphoric and purposeful.I dont know if thats good tho
ConfusedParticipantI feel like if i lose her, i lose a great person, but at the same time, i lose this part of myself that resurfaced with her.
ConfusedParticipantYes i will just stick to the last thing i said, that i feel a bit off and im working on it and i still want to be with her.
That’s what im trying to do lately, remove her from the pedestal. But damn it hurts if i lose her..
ConfusedParticipantI have already told her many many things that might not be true (when it happened to me) because i was looking for traits and i ruined the connection, pushed her away and she got very distant, not at all affectionate like she was in the beginning. I think i shouldnt keep telling her what i find out every day because it will bring her further confusion and doubts. But i have to tell her about my feelings..
ConfusedParticipantYeah its all good dont worry 🙂
The truth is, ive told her that right now my feelings are very dimmed down, didnt tell her about the possible deactivation.
She said “after some things you said up close, i got the idea that u dont really wanna do things in your life, and i definitely want to do things, so i would like to see if this can work on that matter”. I already told her that this version of me is not the normal one, i usually am a very fun person to be around, with plenty of interests and she said “ofc, i take that into consideration, but i would like to discuss those concerns with you”. I think she is just living in the future once more, worrying about things that might not even happen, because she does that.
But the truth is, i really don’t have any specific plans for the future, i am just a person that likes to live every day as it happens, i enjoy trips-motorcycle-photographs-exploring new places-stargazing and i would like to build something with a girl in the future (be it house, business, family). But i dont really know if thats good or not and that triggers my fears that she is gonna leave me over that conversation.
She also wants to discuss about our vibe being “off” lately, but i can’t really tell her that my feelings are off, can i?
ConfusedParticipantI havent tried anything of this sort, never been to psychiatrist before.
I have an appointment though in a month.
In other news, the girl im talking to, said she wants to discuss about me having no “goals in life” because of something i said when i visited, and that triggered me that she is gonna leave me over this, because right now i’m numb and feel no joy, so my goals are not exactly clear.
ConfusedParticipantI think right now my “love” capabilities are off, maybe muted by the depression/numbness?
ConfusedParticipantHello Alessa
I think i always knew that, but after a while i stopped caring if thats the case.
Yes i didnt feel like relying on anyone tbh, couldnt open up.
Unfortunately i did experience both, never one end of the equation, so i guess that left me..confused? 🙂
I can’t really feel it inside me though, as if im lying to myself.
Thank you very much for your kind words, they mean a lot 🙂Hello anita
Like i said, i think my mind is not “programmed” to receive love, it feels kinda foreign.
My mind feels like a rollercoaster these days, heavy hopelessness and despair setting in.
Its like i didnt have to care and know all those struggles of life back then, so it was much better and simpler
I am trying but i cant feel it
ConfusedParticipantHey Alessa
I guess it could have been because of tourette’s yeah. She did calm down once left alone but still.Anita
How does empathy for yourself feel like? I wonder..I feel innocence and being carefree from future struggles, freedom in a way.
I would tell him to slow down and put himself first probably.
ConfusedParticipantHey anita
Well i think its either forgiveness or indifference, or…dissociation? I know i didn’t deserve it but i think i have moved past that.Ofc it was not giving her the excuse to do those things i agree.. Do you think it could still be influencing me?
Funny thing is, i cant give myself empathy 🙂
ConfusedParticipantI know but i think i’ve forgiven her and i dont hold resentment on that matter. I never hold grudges anyway, but maybe that affected me, cant be sure.
ConfusedParticipantOh i think there have been a couple times that she called me “nothing” too, when she was really angry.
