All are correct except I LOVE to be alone.
I am not a therapist, however, I may counter that limerence is person addiction, not love addiction. I would also request you make it clear that limerence does not have to be romantic in nature, it can be nonromantic (ex. Attachment to a teacher at school) by definition. News articles heavily make limerence romantic, but by new definition limerence is an intense desire and attachment which does not have to be romantic in nature
I love being alone n don’t fear anyone leaving because I’m the one who usually ices people out so idk why fear of abandonment is one of the key symptoms- one size does not fit all
Can anyone give an example of constantly shifting your identity? I feel like I need imagery to know if I'm experiencing this. Edit: also what is paranoid ideation?
5:03 Yes
#4 one of my mothers fav sayings was "after all I've done for you" when i spoke up or set a boundry.
Legit can’t get over how insanely accurate and resonating these are
I used to not eat well for many years sometimes I'd go 4 days without eating but mostly one or two days. Needless to say i was super skinny. 57 kg 181cm. worst was 54 kg I still look like a street lamp but at least I'm eating some. I actually thought it was normal despite people telling me i need to visit the hospital or something. The professionalism thing hits hard. But i already knew that i have a problem with that since this was the standard i was held to growing up. It was like i was trying to fit my little child feet into grown up shoes, knowing it's possible since I'm gonna grow up eventually but unattainable at the moment, it was crippling to live like that constantly. It feels refreshing to hear its not the only acceptable standard, i seem to have forgotten that.
I had this as a child and I was bullied so much that I’m 40 now and I still have memories come back of that time. I was diagnosed with autism, and I’m sure that had something to do with it. At 35 I started watching how other people interacted with those around them and I guess you can say I started to mimic them so that I could interact with people, but after all the interaction I come home exhausted. There is not enough therapy or research on autism. I feel like therapist need to be made aware that we are out here and we need help too. I’ve learned that if I don’t want to talk I don’t have to. If someone says hi I say hi and go back to what I’m doing. If they take offense that’s their choice. To be completely honest I’m tired of considering people’s feelings. I spent most of my life changing myself to make others comfortable and I’m no longer interested in doing that anymore.
❤ Thank you for your work, Katy. I wish all of your viewers a lot of healing.
It's too close t9 adhd
You are brilliant! This just connected so many dots for me. Thank you!
If this family looked differently and were poor, my theory is that CPS would have done something severe a long long time ago.
This video made me cry so many times. You hit the nail right on the head. I do this all the time, and I have trouble identifying my emotions, or I suppress them because they aren’t convenient at that moment. I work so hard that I crash because I don’t actually process what I feel. I believe my childhood let me to behave like that, but also my comorbid diagnoses of Autism, ADHD and depression. Damn. I knew I did this but not the name for it. I hope to get better at feeling my emotions with the tips you offered. Thank you so much for this video and putting a name to something I’m struggling so hard with ❤
7yrs old this video nothing has chainged
It can be a blessing to over sharing ppl to confuse so they can never guess your next move and exhausting your enemy
I am Betty 🥲
😢 Sadly the first born daughter gets the assistant treatment without a salary. Most of the time she doesn't feel part of the family or worthy of rewards. She gets conditioned to become a people pleaser without developing her own personality. I believe this is most common with narcissistic parents usually taking the place of the scapegoat.
Si my ex fiancé, got it
Get out of my head! Lol wow this really spoke to me! I literally was planning on going to the store to buy The Artist's Way today 😂
My "over spending" is usually on animals. I buy animals because I love animals and it makes me feel good, but then, ... I'm over whelmed as I have too many and it's expensive and time consuming to feed them, and I have to "cut back" or make hard choices of selling or giving them away, and it's a vicious cycle. I've tried to break this cycle, to think more before I buy a new animal etc. but I keep falling back into this.
6:42 A different type could also be the correct and responsible use of psychedelics like Ayahuasca. Or breathwork.
I don't regularly feed myself because I'm terrified of getting fat! I was tormented all through my childhood and early adult hood, told I was ugly... so I didn't watn to be both fat AND ugly... I could control one and not the other... so now I skip meals and limit food. If I gain any weight... I get upset with myself and take steps to lose it again. I hate going up a size in clothes... I was diagnosed with an eating disorder "not other wise specified" and that upset me as... I'd rather they specify!!!! I hate being in that unspecified window... it feels like no where land, or somewhere in the middle, neither one thing or another.
I have been told once in my life in 53 years "I'm proud of you", from my father when I was forced to put down my dog... By that i mean not just him but everyone. I wish i was told it more often, it may have changed certain things in my life.
I am too antisocial to ever be attached to anybody ever again. I learned my lesson. Friendship causes pain. Romantic interests cause pain. Acqaintences are no different. I get attached to nobody. Being social has far more negatives than positives. It actually offers few benefits at all.
That was realy funny it was threapy in it self enjoyed thanks
Soo many sick ppl. Me included 😢. Come on Meteor!
i totally agree! love this video ❤
❤
🙋♂️
OMG not only is this what I do, but your explaining WHY just relieved me SO much.
Omg…
lol I’m the middle child of three and my older sister is the irresponsible of the three. She must have missed this syndrome.
I hope for the best things, but i plan for worst
Therapy can never work for me because I am not social. However, Kati would be the one I would give a chance to assist me because I have learned who she is, somewhat. Anybody else, I would be on such high guard that I would never speak to that person in any familiarised manner. I have spoken to nobody, in a familiarised manner, in a very long time.
Yes. Journaling essential. Or at least writing a list.❤
For me it feels like existence is anxiety filled and exhausting
I analyse each moment. My feelings. But that further makes me hear that Linkin Park song In The End. Really kept no stone unturned. Love from India.
Child drag shows.
I love my barbie doll very much, I do not care at all what people think. Tell me what you think
Yes once more I desperately requesting you to do a new video on Suicide. Can't just go on. Almost see the red line.
Can't take the world that's going out of control, feelingless, hateful, belligerent, hostile, inhospitable, inhabitable.
Kati please do a new video on suicide. I don't wanna go. But I have to. Am 42. Wishing i can help myself out by hearing you.
So, lss, tell your therapist, then go to another therapist.
🙌 Yep!
These are all symptoms my dad deals with, and by proxy I used to deal with. It's my job to break the generational trauma, and if you can relate it is also yours.
I just watched a gacha heat first time now i need this girl to fix my mind 😃
I have a question about the "feel your feelings" episode. You were talking about anger and how it might last for a few minutes or a few hours. I can't sustain anger for very long but sadness, loneliness, grief, etc don't go away. They last and last and last and the only thing I can find to do is to ignore them. What do you do if the feelings don't go away?
So, is it the same for moms?
