I thought Xcommunications might have potential, but it’s too long

I feel this, but I’m coming from a very different angle, having been out of a long term (10 years) relationship for almost a year now, and in therapy for several things since then.

When I find myself ruminating on my ex, wondering what’s she’s doing and/or sabotaging my drive to get out and meet new people, I find that it helps to think about why things ended and what I’ve been able to accomplish and feel good about since the split.

It provides some perspective about who I am as an individual, instead of only thinking of myself in the context of that relationship, and it sounds like you might be similar to me in that you invest heavily in a relationship to the point where that becomes a major part of your self identity, which spiraled into codependency.

I think what might be throwing you for a loop here is that this is sounds like an actual partnership (e.g. you don’t have to initiate everything), rather than a pursuit/job on your part to keep things going, which is unfamiliar territory.

I encourage you to keep working with your therapist on everything, and when you find yourself stuck in that type of thought spiral, take a mental step back and try to find what kicked off that train of thought so you can better manage your reaction to it in the future.

(Sorry if this is rambly/all over the place, on vacation and been drinking)

Follow up thought as I scrolled, once the ability to block an entire instance is released, it would be nice if the same thing happened if I blocked that instance (e.g. I have nothing against Germany, but I don’t speak German and having posts from the German instance is literally just spam on my feed)

I’m mean, would “Get to the choppa!” have been any better?

Wait really? How have I missed this? I’ll have to comb the settings when I sober up

Very nice, love some Vulfpeck!

The Madison Square Garden concert (the full video, not the album edit) is one of my all time favorites. If you haven’t seen it, it’s on their YouTube channel.

As someone who biked year round while at college in Wisconsin, congrats on making it with minimal falling, it’s not easy.

Echoing what someone else said, sometimes you just need to hop off the bike and walk it for a little.
