Growing up, I had always heard that opposites attract, and I took that personally lol first love was wild and rambunctious, I was shy and reserved. This pairing resulted in a few years of dating, breaking up, dating, etc. Ultimately, I was putting myself through a lot of distress by trying to be 'compatible' and in the end we went our separate ways and haven't spoken since. Sadly, she fell down a rougher path full of infidelity and drug use, but I've always wished her the best with no more hard feelings towards what happened between us.

Ended in heartache. He cheated on me. But I'm now with a wonderful man. 7 years this October.

My first love was my best friend too. After a year & fresh of college grad we didn’t really know what we want out of the relationship anymore as our careers were getting in the way and required time and distance away from another.

What I first thought was love,was extremely toxic and dangerous. He was extremely abusive for 5 years. My real first love-my best friend I made when I was 12. He’s been there for me through it all. We’ve been best friends for 15 years and together officially for the last 6💛

I agree with this so much, wanted to give a random hug and say Ive been there and damn is it hard. Patience is a problematic S.OB. sometimes but when it's over, you really feel free...

@Trinity M having chemistry doesn’t have to mean romantic chemistry. There’s friendship chemistry as well. And there can be lots of love in friendships. You don’t have to be in love to have love for someone.

@@GLEEK12345678910 Exactly! That's what I was saying.

⁠​⁠@@Givebackthescarfyeah for Gleek… exactly… it seems like you are triggered by their chemistry or the concept of chemistry or something…

@Bigheartoneggshells I think this person was trying to give some praise to Devon for being a good listener on such a hard topic. It’s hard to listen and be compassionate to a struggle you’ve never experienced. Lindsey is also an amazing listener but people are allowed to compliment just Devon. Just like the rest of the comments are mostly just complimenting Lindsey for her strength. You don’t need to make everything negative.

@Bigheartoneggshells I hate it too when dads say they have to “babysit” their kids. Like no, that’s just parenting. But this isn’t that. Devon has a lot of non-toxic masculinity that you can see a lot of in his podcast. Obviously society should just make that the baseline norm anyway, but unfortunately we live in the real world. This isn’t something to shit on. If more people were like the real life actors in the Ned’s trio, the world would be such a better place.

This aged poorly

Is there a link to that video?

I remember Lindsey mentioning on the Ned's podcast that they weren't in touch for 10 years. Have faith! Time heals wounds.

You should avoid your ex as they are an ex

Lol

I mean, i’d say it’s easier to forgive when you’re making money together on a podcast.

BPD patient here too, exactly experienced the same thing with abandonment. It’s a struggle, but thankfully I am feeling much better and developing more meaningful relationships 😊

Is BPD bipolar disorder or borderline personality disorder?

It’s kind of mind blowing to me to learn how some people just let go of control to such levels…. I don’t mean to be offensive in any way, but just offering an observation… since I have an ex that I’m pretty sure went towards some deep dark path after he broke up with me and hooked up with a random woman apparently he accidentally knocked up…. And I really hope none of that led him to do drugs again, since he used to do some hardcore drugs in the past… so reading all these comments and listening to Lindsey is very enlightening about what could my ex may have gone/ been going through since our traumatic break up… and again… its just sooo mind blowing to me how some people seem to have the ability to let themselves go to such levels, and still make it out okay… like I could never… i could never let go of control of my life or myself to the point of having someone else outside of me, be my “voice of reason” or who keeps me tethered to my truth/ the truth of who I am… that I would need to call them to remember who I am…? Dang… that feels scary to me… to let go to that level… so while being this way is probably something not to be proud of, you people are also really brave and courageous in some other way, and actually have to have a lot of faith in a way, to let go of yourselves to such levels and still recover and bring yourselves back to normalcy… damn.. that feels like some really hardcore stuff… you people are strong.

And perhaps I can understand it because I may have experienced this to some extent… or at certain specific brief moments, but I have never lost myself or have let myself go to such deep levels for that long… like 10 years or something like that… it’s crazy…

@@love7love but the thing is the initial drug use is actually about *taking* control, not losing it. Your trauma, relationships, physical pain and/or mental illnesses are all out of your control but when you take this drug or drink, it numbs the pain out and you know it's going to make you feel better until it wears off. The drug use is the one thing you actually can control in life until it's just too late and youre a full blown addict. By then, you've added another condition to your list of issues and if you aren't feeding it every single day, it makes everything else ten times worse and that's why so many addicts that want to stop just don't. The deep-rooted pain that led to them using drugs for comfort in the first place is eventually made even worse by the addiction. So it's just a vicious cycle. Personally, I had multiple surgeries in my teenage years to repair my legs and feet so at 13 years old I was prescribed opiates. This was at the height of the opioid epidemic before they stopped giving them out to any and everybody. I've also been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, ptsd and a couple of different sleep disorders. My mother died when I was very young and my father was an alcoholic and pretty absent despite being the sole provider for me and my siblings growing up. I was an extremely lonely kid and I had no control over almost anything but I knew if I take a couple of these pills, it'll numb all of that out and even get me to come out of my shell to go out and hang out with people. Its that last thing that is the only thing I miss about my drug use. I can deal with all of the issues I have emotional and physical but I just have no energy for things like socializing these days. I'm withdrawn and pretty isolated from all but my best friend and sister for the most part. I know alot of my friends and family talk about me and speculate alot about whether or not I'm back on drugs like you are doing about your ex but I can only tell you that at the end of the day, only an addict knows what's going on with them. It took my father dying at 54 years old for me to realize I was heading to an early grave myself if I didn't turn myself around. I'm not religious and have never been but it always takes some sort of "divine" intervention for a long term addict to get clean. I hope your ex is maintaining his sobriety and if not then hopefully he can turn it around soon because I would wish addiction and it's co-ocurring health issues on anyone, not even my own abusive ex. Hope this helps you understand addicts and addiction better!

Omg when was this
