Was pleased to see another Grwm update. I could relate to a few things you mentioned & it's wonderful to see the podcast is going well too ❤

[@theplussideofme]

I’m glad you enjoyed it ❤️

[@emilyhawkins4149]

I can relate easily to the "no one attends to me" comment! I'm the one attending to everyone else, checking in on people. Nobody is ever checking in on me. I hope your therapy journey is enlightening and healing for you! Love your earrings!

[@theplussideofme]

It’s a really hard comment to relate to. And then the question becomes why? For me, it’s a mix of people not stepping up and me not asking them to.

[@emilyhawkins4149]

@@theplussideofme I think for me it stems from my childhood trauma. I also never let myself be vulnerable enough to ask for what I need.

The sunscreen with coverage is everything! As I get older, foundation just seeps into the creases under my eyes and makes me look older. This would be a good alternative PLUS you get protection from the sun. I'm currently at the point of fighting my sunspots with a retinol stick, so preventing them in the first place would be ideal.

[@theplussideofme]

It really is amazing. Pricey, but similar to higher end foundations!

Good for you, Rebecca - you're doing great 💖 I went to therapy for 8 years, and it helped improve my quality of life a lot. Also, omg, my precious cat (The Marvelous Mr. Mittens) is not welcome at the vet unless he's sedated - true story lol but otherwise he's such a love.

[@theplussideofme]

Thank you! And wow do I love your cat’s name! 😻

[@sunshinegalkw9675]

No one attends to me. I felt this in my soul…. Yeah I need therapy too. This was a very good video, thank you so much for talking about this. I hope you have an enlightening journey! ❤

[@theplussideofme]

It’s a hard thing to confront. If you do seek out therapy, I hope it’s a positive experience for you!!

[@sunshinegalkw9675]

@@theplussideofme thank you!!😊

Childcare is a great way to supplement income. You can set your hours and I’ve found the pay in Charlotte is around $20-28 an hour depending on number of kids. Your experience in education can also definitely help you stand out. Afterschool care or summer help jobs are usually pretty easy to find for older, school age kids. Definitely not the same as college kids but good money and always high demand.

What is the name of your podcast? I’m intrigued!

I know it all feels challenging and I appreciate your transparency - it helps us to see this and hear you talk openly about it! Good for you for taking steps to take care of yourself - therapy is healing! And I so feel you on the economic struggles! Door dash or Instacart sound like some good options! I've been doing reselling - Posh/eBay - for a few years and it's okay and allows flexibility but it is alot of work. Rooting for you!!

[@theplussideofme]

My sister does reselling, and I see how much work it is! Thank you for the encouragement ❤️

Thank you so much!

Therapy is hard! The more productive it is, the worse it feels at the time. This last pod cast was wonderful. Try davids bridal they had a nice selection of extended sizes

[@theplussideofme]

Thank you!! And thanks for reminding me about DB. I just went and ordered a swatch after reading your comment. Hopefully the color matches!

[@NFU21]

Felt this in my soul. Also, fun fact. If I hyper fixate on something after being overwhelmed and it will induce hypoglycemia after WLS. 😢

[@theplussideofme]

Oh gosh! I swear, the physical symptoms that come from anxiety are WILD!

[@Marianne-looks-inside]

Wow, yeah, I would struggle to think of who I let support me, like truly support me. I am one who fears messing up so tend to want to have control. Therapy is very helpful. I had a counselor once talk about being a highly sensitive person when it comes to noises and such. Helps me understand myself through a different lens. ❤

[@theplussideofme]

Absolutely, and I think the understanding part helps us make peace with things. I don’t have the fear of messing up. I think I fear having to confront that people don’t want to support me.

[@Jeepgirlcj7]

First, good for you to seek out therapy. I think it is one of the BEST self care things you can do for oneself. I sought it out to deal with childhood trauma and a better understanding of who I am. It is a game changer for sure and it has made a huge difference in how I communicate and react to different situations. It isn't easy but totally work the work.

[@theplussideofme]

Thanks so much. I’m really enjoying the experience so far and how much it’s already coming through in my conversations with others.

[@kitten103083]

Wow that color science looks great. What color did you get ?

[@erinthompson627]

I also use that sunscreen/foundation. I read that it blends better if you rub it in your hands to change color before putting on your face. 😆

[@theplussideofme]

Great tip!

[@adrienneflora989]

I have noise sensitivity. It started with a loud neighbor. It's been awful. I have one older woman above me and she's awful. I complained but they won't do anything. I'm going to have to move because of this. I'm really anxious from it.

[@theplussideofme]

SAME! A couple years ago I lived below someone who was constantly fighting and loud. I eventually had to move. And I still have reactions to hearing my current upstairs neighbor, though luckily he just walks loudly-none of the other stuff. It’s hard when you can’t even relax at home. I have a noise machine on almost all of the time.

[@adrienneflora989]

@@theplussideofme it's a shame I really can't afford to move again. But I have to make some sacrifices to have some damn peace. Just ridiculous. I am in therapy by the way I also have social anxiety so I'm stuck here all the time. Things will improve soon. My neighbor walks loud stomps huge loud bangs. It is late at night too so my sleeping is all messed up too. 3 years of this I've had enough.

[@adrienneflora989]

@@theplussideofme can you tell me what is a noise machine? I need one! I'm sorry you had to go through that I completely understand.
