Given recent events i've decided to write a bit of an update on my blog (that thing i used to post on a lot) https://t.co/0yWBF09GW6

[Spike @fastingfuming]

Had a lovely day with my beautiful little daughter, and now I’ve gone back to my empty house and feel…bereft, empty,, alone 😩

Walking down the street at 9am choking back the tears isn’t a great look

@Theholisticpsyc Once I started to see this in myself, I then started to see it in others. It’s incredibly widespread…

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

When we’re raised in dysfunctional homes, we believe it’s selfish or wrong to have boundaries or limits.

Becoming emotionally healthy means honoring our own needs— something we might have never done. Even if it brings up guilt.

@nate_postlethwt Oh wow, this is me right now. I thought I had found someone but have had to walk away 💔

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Being raised by emotionally immature parents sets us up for a lifetime of believing our role is to perform, achieve, or be responsible for other people’s emotions.

HERE’S WHY🧵:

[Spike @fastingfuming]

As a lifelong ‘fawner’ I’m taking a moment to recognise that this year I have stood up to people and situations that have made me miserable. I’m suffering in the short term but it’s all for the best. Me from 3 years ago would be in utter disbelief that I could make these changes

[Spike @fastingfuming]

I could happily sleep for a month

[Spike @fastingfuming]

Pain and struggle from all directions at the moment. Am using numbing tactics

@lshanehotmailc1 Congratulations!!!

[Spike @fastingfuming]

@jakskellinton That doesn’t sound overly promising… take care of yourself my friend

[Spike @fastingfuming]

Today I move out having separated from my wife. We’ve been together for 20yrs. I have a young daughter. Separation is fairly amicable but…someone tell me it’s going to be ok…as a dad who dearly loves his daughter 🥺😭

[Spike @fastingfuming]

@jakskellinton Thanks Jack. Hope you’re keeping well
