How to develop "right-sized" expectations in relationships without feeling like you're giving up? 3. I convinced myself that I don't have RA and that my feelings are the exception. Why? 4. I'm a bisexual girl in love with my girlfriend but I'd love to have sex with men. It makes me so upset because I want to be with her and not open my relationship. It makes me spiral. How do I break free without breaking up? 5. I'm so scared to look for a new job because all of a sudden I feel unworthy. What's happening? 6. What to do about unwanted thoughts about my ex. 7.

How to move forward when progressing in a relationship (engagement) when you aren't 100% ready 10. How do you get "over" RA once and for all? I keep having good months and then relapsing hard. 11. How do you deal with thoughts and feelings about no longer wanting to be with your partner? 12. Do you know if the fear of a certain pain/sickness can actually evoke that pain/symptom? 13. Do you ever regret being with someone who is different than you? 14. Why do people expect a relationship to be compatible from the start and not let it grow with time? 15.

Could you speak a bit more about emotional pedestalisation? 18. I just turned 24. What advice do you have for someone in their 20s just starting to heal? 19.
