I had to snap a pic before returning to the library. The genre, according to some Goodreads reviews, is “cozy sci-fi” and it is just that. The robot gives me the same comfort that Baymax does and that’s really all I need to love something.
I’m genuinely considering buying it and I don’t buy books anymore.
Thanx so much for your advice and the communication stems that I can start with when speaking with him. My jaw dropped that you were with someone who said “if you want to talk about it, go see a therapist” omg that’s awful. Definitely reason why you guys didn’t end up together in the long run and for the best.
You’re welcome 💜
Hopefully that was a helpful starting place! I know it can be intimidating having those kinds of conversations, especially early on in a relationship.
But yes! I think that things tend to work out how they’re meant to.
I know your married now but have you ever been in a past relationship where the guy was unfaithful or just made you feel like shit about your anxiety? I’ve been with this guy for about 3 months now and not the unfaithful part but anxiety I’ve gotten a couple red flags. He doesn’t do well with it or snaps at me. I just dk if I continue or break it off.
Yes, I absolutely have. When I was with someone who didn’t understand (or try to understand) my anxiety, I genuinely believe it made my anxiety worse. My mental health was at an all time low because it was a vicious cycle and he wouldn’t ever want to hear about it - it was always “if you want to talk about it, go see a therapist” (which I also did, for a period of time btw).
All situations and people are different. But I promise you, your life is abundantly better when you’re with people who try to understand and try to help your anxiety when it arises. And it won’t always be perfect. My husband has been annoyed a couple times (in the span of years) when I’ve gotten anxiety, but he’s human and has his own stuff.
If you really want it to work, I would just have a talk with this guy. Communication is always key. “When I start to get anxiety, I feel like you …” “It would really mean a lot to me if you did … when I start to feel anxious” or “something you can do to help me is …” even if that something is just giving you space.
If he really likes you and wants it to work and cares about your well-being, then he will listen and hopefully be more understanding. If not, he’s probably not worth your time.
Started watching Undercover Underage and I have cried during both episodes I have watched. That’s normal right? That show is fucking me up and bringing back some old (buried deep down) memories.
