I am 50 and this is the part of my life when I am dealing yet again with a broken heart 😢. And right now I have the feeling I am never going to find true love that lasts longer than 3 months 😔.
@sophieacapella. I can completely understand and relate to your comment I know how this feels I've been through heartbreak so many times in my life and haven't been in another relationship for years thinking the same that I'm not going to find true love because soon as I mention I have mental health problems it changes the interest of the guy I talk to but I am with you on this ❤😢
I understand too. Also 50, thinking sometimes, is it worth the effort or heart ache. Feels like I can't bare another relationship that I put my heart into only to have it fail.
I'm at that point. Over the past 3 years, I've had 2 day hospital programs, 6 psych ward stays, 4 leaves of absence from my career. I've tried ECT, TMS, Spravato, I.V. Ketamine, and what seems like 40+ meds. I'm just tired......so tired of fighting. There's GOT TO BE a solution to this! I appreciate your content. Thank you.
this is the part where I learned to love myself and stopped allowing people get away with their stupidity bc I wasn't confident and patient enough to explain their errors to them.
This is the part where I feel my anxiety disorder will never go away. I have been through episodes of anxiety and it helps to know it is part of my life, not the entire one.
My name is Drake and I’ve been following, your channel since 2018. To start with , so your your channel I don’t know if I am still existing here on earth . Part of my life is your teachings Julia. Words are not enough to express how grateful I am I found your channel and now it’s still my go to source of positivity and change for the better
When I started listening to you two years ago and I was at a very low point. I couldn't imagine ever coming out the other side. I'm here to tell you that I went through it, got through it, and I believe that I'm now better than ever! Thank you!
Thank you, Julia. It really does help to think our life has a story, or movie or sitcom lol Probably the biggest thing in my life this year was the loss of my dad and the grief that I am experiencing. Just like a story, sometimes you may lose a character in your story. Sometimes that can be a mentor (like Luke losing Obi-Wan Kenobi) This is the part where the main character must rely more on themselves with what they had learnt from the mentor character. I have been taking up more responsibilities myself and navigating through my life as I adjust to this new life. This is the part where the main character loses his dad, but this is the part where the main character overcame it. Greif doesn’t always go away, it will be like a roller coaster, but I have lost other family members (other characters in my story) and I was able to navigate it though life. Here are my notes: When it feels hard to be human, we have the thought it will always be hard to be human. What you are feeling right now, it will always feel like it. It feels like you may never get better, but the truth is - you will. If you look back at another time when you felt like this or been though something hard, remember you got through it. USE THIS TOOL: Think of your life as a story - it has a start (when you were born) and it has an end (when you leave this earth) You are the main character of your story. Main characters of stories go through hardships. This difficult time is only part of your story - this isn't all of it - only a chapter in your life. Remember this: "This is the part where…" (name the difficult time, thought or feeling you are going though) Then it became clear. (Something changed, resolved or figured out.)
Dr ive just seen 2 of your videos and they really speak to me, its true, when you look back at moments past in your life you come to the same c onclusion: whatever rough patch your experiencing right now will eventually go away and you will get some sense of normalcy along the way
Thank you, Julia Kristina! This is just what I needed to hear. I feel better after listening to your advice. This is the part where I’m coping with the loss of my father a few months ago, helping my mom and elderly aunt and special needs cousin and coping with the feelings of uncertainty and anxiety while trying to focus on caring for myself.
Julia Kristina. Yes this video was so interesting and important but also made me feel overwhelmed and sad this is exactly how im feeling right now i had my social anxiety and depression i hate that i feel stuck even when i feel unstuck i become stuck again my medication doesn't seem to work i haven't been contacted for therapy for ovet a year 😢❤
This is the part where I spend all day in bed, realize I have no family left except for the neglectful narcissist(s), and i miss my dog who died last year and was with me for 14 years... i feel invisible and no way through. I ask myself 'how did I get through
OMG .. the timing of this. I am a mess.. a lot of it is due to my relationship with my now ex wife . I wish I never divorced her. I miss her. We do talk. I just constantly think she may be with someone else. Like I am the NY guy and then she has a Miami guy. I will elaborate when I am not so sad.
I've been unemployed for almost a year. My car's transmission died and it took $3300 to repair it. My cats been diagnosed with Stage 2 Kidney Disease and needs expensive food and medicine to live. My husband broke up with me in mid-April but said I could stay until I moved back in with my Mom. Less than 24 hours after my 41st birthday, he told me he wanted me out of his life and kicked me out of the house. I have no money. I have no savings. I have no job prospects. And I'm not sure what to do right now. Except to continue packing up my stuff so I can store it in my Mom's basement for now. 😔
This is good advice and it's good to romanticize your life in a way... just don't let it step over into delusional territory 😂. A lot of people these days have "Main Character Syndrome" and its because they forget that they're only the main character in their own life, not anyone else's
