It's my third day out of the IOP and out of their informal aversion therapy. They're still calling me they're still trying to pick me up in the van. And I am ignoring them.

The antidote to low self-esteem and grandiosity.

Why I believe we must have gratitude.

Join me in prayer as my struggle with my crush continues and I attempt to turn it over to my higher power.
This is my own experience strength and hope.

Most people change their phone numbers or shut down their voicemails or their phones to keep active phone harassment out. But there is a new kind of harassment going on and it's called soft ghosting and in my opinion it isn't so soft because the feeling that it evokes is not a soft feeling at all. It's a very hurtful burning feeling: it makes the second guess ourselves and question our self worth and makes us feel like we're not part of the human race.
Honesty is hard to come by because many people lie and lie by omission. They lie quietly which means they tell lies they think they can slip under a rug because they think it won't hurt anyone. But when the truth leaks out or possible truth leaks out in a bad feeling, the lie is never harmless.

Struggling to end an interaction that never should have been. (Religion mentioned)
You can look up my other podcast if you want hopefully there's more information there about what's been going on.

Repeatedly people use the argument about Sodom and Gomorrah to condemn lgbtq+ people. And it is for that reason that I and many others feel like we have to be silent about being lgbtq+. It's still permeating in our society and it's still leaking into my therapy program that I go to. At least two clients openly in group have said that they "don't want to be around those people; they're amoral..." . This frightens me and this still indicates that much work needs to be done to create a safe society for lgbtqs. The following describes an analysis of the two opinions of Sodom and Gomorrah one advocating for lgbtq and the other justifying condemnation against lgbtqs.

I'm grateful to the 12th step programs in the United States and around the world, especially Alcoholics Anonymous. I truly believe that I cannot deal with my problem alone. I need a power greater than myself. I need other people going through this. I need shared experience strength and hope right now.
Would you like that?
This is my idea for a 12-step program.
With the help of AI, and the inspiration by my own pain and by my higher power, the following video and podcast episode describes my new 12-step program for limerence!

They may have hugged you, they may have told you they loved you, they may have told you that you brightened their day, the meet and greet may have been wonderful and starry, the phone date may have promised to follow up phone call.
In my case none of that happened. There was a meet and greet. There was a phone date. There were hugs and positive regards.
But they always fell apart.
I'm still left with nothing.
Let's no longer be hoovered.
