  • Having a rough time in today's vlog. Welcome back to Cindy's Super Depressed Cooking Show - episode 2. I'm dealing with loneliness, and finally packing up all of Andrew's stuff in the office. It was hard. I cried a lot. But I got it done and now his possessions don't haunt me every time I walk in the room. Success. Thank you so much for watching.

    It’s healthy to sit with your feelings. Which also means that ignoring texts to create boundaries is perfectly fine. ❤

    I actually appreciate you filming the hard moments. It's much more genuine to the experience to show the vulnerable sad parts about a marriage ending. It would be unrealistic to portray that you are constantly fine if your not. Love you ❤️

    You should try physically writing down what you want to say to Andrew when you feel like messaging him, it helps you get your feelings off your chest but you won’t actually be in contact with him. The hard days are rough but it’s a sign you’re healing! You’ve come so far in such a short space of time ❤️

      I had a therapist suggest this to me. Write that letter and spill your guts. It doesn’t mean you have to send it. I’m not trying to make things worse for you, but try ZERO. A million times better than Diet Coke! 🙏🏼♥️🌸🕊

      This is such one of the best suggestions. I this when I went through my divorce. I put everything down sometimes every single day... but made myself wait until the next day before I sent it and every time I was thankful I got it out but also grateful I didn't send it. I got to get my emotions out of my head and chest but kept safe from making contact I'd regret.

    What helped me personally is reminding myself of what my partner did. Every time i missed him and thought about the good times, i reminded myself that those good times meant nothing to him while he was out sleeping and flirting with other women.
    Doesn’t matter how many times he apologised to me or said he regretted it or changed… I meant nothing to him while he was sleeping with all these women. I realised no matter how much I missed the good times, that wasn’t enough to take him back.
    This is just my personal way i eventually got over it, might not be the same for everyone but worked for me. I was married for almost 20 years but still try to see the bright side of things, I could have wasted my whole life with a cheater in a fake marriage.
    Edit: I also took up new hobbies which helped A LOT.

    Hey Cindy, about Andrew getting his stuff...when my sister's ex came to her house to pick up his stuff, she had my brother over, not to face him alone. If you are afraid you would get a weak moment meeting him alone, maybe have your friend over when the time comes. Sending hugs, stay strong!

    Hi Cindy, I've recently read a quote saying, "it's okay if the only thing you've done today was just breathe" and I think it's important to remind us that sometimes we just want to do nothing all day long, and that is also healthy. Sending you so much love, you're doing great

    The Diet Coke struggle is real. If there’s none in the fridge I start fiending😂 having autism I’ve had to accept that I can’t always function at the same level everyday.

    Allowing yourself to feel sad (or angry or disappointed or whatever else you may feel) is its own kind of strength, Cindy. Letting ourselves truly be vulnerable and taking the time to process the complexities of our feelings takes immense courage, grit, and above all, resilience.

  • @MarcinViscardi

    Cindy, never hold back your tears. Just cry cry and cry until there's nothing left. You don't have to pretend to be strong, you have the right to feel sad. Rome wasn't built in a week and 15 years of marriage can't be erased in a week.

    It is so wild how you can go from the one messaging the person while they ignore you to them realizing you don't need them anymore and you become the one ignoring their texts. Keep it up, you are so strong and he deserves your silence after all he's done to you and what he's put you thru.

    I know you said you don't feel strong, but you are - you overcame the mental exhaustion, made yourself a meal and were realistic about your relationship with Andrew. We can't control how we feel, but we can control how we act and I think you did great. P.S. You mentioned in one of your streams you enjoy some songs by Shakira, maybe her latest music can put you in a better mood, she was cheated on by her husband and is letting everything out in her music right now, it's really empowering (Music Session vol. 53 and TQG with English lyrics).

    Just be upfront with him. That as of now you don’t want any back and forth and just want him to pick up his items. You need to have him pick them up outside the door and have him return your key at the same time. Allowing him inside leaves or open for discussion and to try and persuade you into listening to him gaslight you into submission. Don’t allow it . I’m In your corner and wishing you the strength you need to get through this. YOU GOT THIS!!! Talking to him is definitely the wrong thing as it will accomplish nothing except him trying to convince you to go against your thoughts now and how far you’ve come . Don’t let him. Your marriage ended long ago it’s only a week he left. This time. Don’t forget the time before which started all this. And he left when he began cheating with multiple women with the potential to bringing you home any number of diseases. Remember those things to remain strong.

    When I went through this (20+ year marriage) it helped me to make a short little list before I went to sleep at night of the things I needed to do 1st thing in the morning to get my day started on the right foot. Nothing incredibly involved or thought provoking, just busy work. Stuff like take a shower, eat the leftover food from last night, walk the dog around the block, tidy up kitchen counter that collects mail. It's important to check off once tasks are finished. This seems ridiculous but a sense of accomplishment and not having to think how to start the day is huge. My therapist taught me this tool and I still use it if I'm feeling overwhelmed.

I’ve been binge watching all of your old videos in addition to watching your new uploads so I can keep up with you. I’m so sorry you’re going through all of this. In a way I, & I’m sure a lot of others, feel like we’re going through this along with you. Obviously not to the extent you actually are, would never want to minimize how you feel. But we all know you’re strong & courageous & you will get through this. This, too, shall pass. ❤

You’re grieving the loss of a relationship, of your old life, and of what you dreamed your life would be. Your feelings are valid. Let yourself feel your grief fully so you can move past it and not have any regrets. Sending hugs and good vibes.

One day at a time 💯 Me and my husband of 17 years divorced and I been on my own for a year. EVERYTHING you’re going through, I did as well. I promise you, tomorrow will be better. Do something that occupies your mind and makes you happy at home. You are so inspiring and wonderful. I watched you for Sims videos for 5+ yrs but you feel more like family now. You are so loved by everyone in the comments. I know it’s just words, but everyone means what they say to you. We just want to hug you and tell you it will be okay.

    I’m really sorry you’re feeling down. When I’m alone, bored or just said. I always pour up a cup of coffee and play video games. It just makes everything better to play Animal Crossing or Sims. It honestly just takes your mind off the stuff in your head. ❤️

    There are days when I start watching one of your videos and feel as though your depression is giving my depression a warm and validating hug.
    Today is one of those days. I am so sorry that you are so sad and lost right now. Just know that not only are you not alone in this sad and depressing world. But also that your bravery to be so candid and raw with everything that you are moving through is so heartwarming and inspiring!!
    Whether you feel it or recognize it if you do, your ability to turn on your camera and vlog the ups and downs of not only your BPD. But also navigating your heartbreak and loneliness. And the effect that has on your BPD is so helpful to so many.
    Your willingness to come on here and say "I am depressed and struggling and I want others to not only feel less alone, also to see little by little that you can do it and it's okay!" Little by little, Cindy... You've got this and we've got you!
    That is me today. Feeling less alone. And more validated in feeling like it's okay to struggle sometimes.
    Thanks Cindy! I see you too!

    Cindy, buy yourself a toolbox so you always have the needed screwdrivers, wrenches, a hammer and nails, screws, what have you. My own toolbox makes me at least feel in charge, like I technically can do stuff around the house by myself if needed. Plus mine is green and that's one of my favorite colors, so having green tools for me brings me extra joy. Just something I kept thinking when you put the cabinet handles on.

    Healing is never a linear path and in the beginning there will always be plenty of bad days. You're allowed to have bad days. And bad days never last. It's never comfortable to sit and deal with those feelings of loneliness and sadness, and the grief of closing a big chapter of your life. And it's especially tearing to have to deal with those when having to sort though his stuff and all those memories. You did what was best, while trying your best.
    And I am so sorry about the loss of your child. I understand your pain, I lost a set of twins myself a few years back. I still haven't been able to part with the clothes or the little stuffies we had bought for them either. The pain of that I don't think ever fully goes away. It gets easier as time moves on, but the hurt sometimes sneaks in and still stings. You might not have been able to have him even though you wanted him, but that doesn't make you any less of a mother if you don't want it to. But damn if those moments don't hit hard when they come and I am so sorry, and I'm sending you the biggest virtual hugs I can.
    But also you don't have to apologize for the bad days and the bad moments. You don't have to feel bad for setting up boundaries for yourself, such as not wanting to text him back like that. Never let anyone ever tell you otherwise.
    Also side note here, but your handwriting is very pretty.

    Hi Cindy! I'm a day late, but I finally found the time to watch the vid.
    So many things I wanna say, but I don't even know where to start.
    To me, you are getting prettier every time I see a new video, even on the bad days you glow and it gets me excited about your next move on your journey. Your hair was really pretty in this vlog, it looked shiny and like it had more volume. Your makeup was really pretty as well. Just the whole you looked amazing.
    You're making progress and so much of it. To you it may seem small, but to me you're taking big steps and I love that. I'm rooting for you every day and I think of you every day at least once a day and wonder "oh how is Cindy doing rn? I wonder what she's up to rn. I hope she's okay". You don't have to force yourself to make videos daily or to get a video out on time. If you don't feel like recording on a bad day, just don't, take a break and heal. It's okay if it helps you to talk to the camera or give yourself something to do, but if you have to force yourself to record, we will understand if you decide to skip.
    I know this comment might be all over the place and I probably didn't say all the things I wanted to, but anyways, sending lots of hugs and comfort your way. Love you so so much

    A few years ago I went through a terrible breakup with a man I had a toxic relationship with. It’s hard for other people to understand how you can not want the relationship anymore and know what’s best for you but still want to run into their arms. I’m grateful that chapter closed because now I’m engaged to the love of my life. But if you asked me at the time I wouldn’t have seen that for myself in the future. Sitting with your feelings and letting yourself process the hard moments is healthy and will help you heal in the long run. You’re doing great Cindy; be as patient and kind with yourself as you would be if it were a loved one dealing with this.

Take all that love and hope those clothes were bought with and give that to someone who needs that love and support. It's okay to hold on to them for as long as you need, but when you're ready to let go, pass them with love. It will hurt, and it will be sad, but then at least you'll honor your little girl's memory. It will help heal too.
    Also, there will be days where you won't be able to move, you'll be paralyzed with emotions. It's okay to honor yourself on those days. To lay on the kitchen floor and stare at the ceiling, to lay in the grass and watch the clouds. Honor yourself and acknowledge the journey these emotions are taking you on. Then wake up the next day, and try again. One day, one hour, one minute at a time you'll walk through this, and you'll come out the other side. I haven't walked the road you're on, but during a trial in my life, someone once told me to make room in my day, no matter how miserable I felt, to do one nice thing for someone else in the world and that will be more than enough. Remember that you're capable of inspiring love and kindness. I used to leave postcards in bathrooms with inspirational quotes, give compliments to strangers, and leave notes on cars when I had no energy to give.

    Cindy I have never been more inspired by anything than your ‘fuck you egg!’ Taking care of yourself and doing any activities are so hard when you’re going through something. And doing it angrily is still getting it done. So proud of you. ❤❤

    you are making so, so much progress. that said, you are allowed to just sit with your feelings and assess your emotions even the bad ones! but don't let the bad days define _all_ of you cindy 💗 my favourite quote: when you fall 7 times, get back up 8 times!

    It should be a “if you don’t come get your stuff I am trashing it.” And then give him a reasonable amount of time. He needs to be responsible for his own things. You are doing great though. It’s healthy to feel your feelings!

    After moving out of my parents house, it was VERY hard to sit with my feelings and set boundaries but I’m here. Look how far you’ve come Cindy!! Meditation helps, drawing, coloring, gaming, listening to music, or just laying down with the tv on helps me. Wishing you all the best. ❤❤

  • @ivywillow9274

    I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. I was diagnosed with BPD in 2012. I have some of the same struggles as you have described. I have not been through all the same stuff. But I understand the feeling of loneliness and feeling like you've pushed everyone away. And having a really good day and then feeling like you are crashing again. I have lost lots of people in my life due to how I am. But it is important that we don't beat ourselves up over it. I just came across your videos, so I don't know to much about you. But what I do see, is a strong person in these videos. You are beautiful and even when you feel alone, look at the positive comments and know you have people who care about you. Even if they are not in the same room. It has been awhile since I spoke with a therapist. So thank you for reminding me tonight, that I need to slow down my thoughts, by not trying to focus on so much at once. Set small goals, and work your way up, one goal at a time. We don't need to accomplish everything in one day. It's ok if we only get one thing done, as long as we keep trying and when needed, its ok to have a bad day and cry. *hugs* You got this! :) And I want to let you know, that you have not lost everything. You are gaining so much more, just take it one step at a time. It will be hard, but it will be worth it. Don't give up. Last reminder, I just found your channel, but I see someone who is strong and determined to get your life back on track. I'm proud of you.

  • @TheMyameeGirl

    You were married for 15 years, so it's going to take you more than a week to go through the emotions. You just have to go through them as best you can and don't feel like you need to hurry up and get over them. Perfectly normal to be going through everything you are going through. It's very much like going through a withdrawal. Some commented that writing down what you would like to say to Andrew would be good, and I agree. Getting the feelings and thoughts out is most important. Even if you burn them later, doesn't matter. You have to get them out. Sending you positive, healing vibes. You got this Cindy! You are much stronger than you think.

    I lost my mother 4 months ago, so I understand the ups and downs of grief. It’s like stages and waves of sorrow, interspersed with extreme badassedry. But, I have to say that “what the fuck ever, who cares” bit gave me a chuckle. So, thanks for that. Even in the depths of despair, you’re an amazing, cool, funny badass.

  • @bigdrooler
    @bigdrooler ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Cindy, this will be a short comment until I can come back and watch the entire video but for now I had to brag on you. While you were cooking your bacon I was blown away at your beauty. The Cindy I first saw when I found your channel and the Cindy today are not the same woman. You look and act like 2 different people. You are gorgeous girl. Your body is banging and your confidence is through the roof. You are not the woman you were and I am so f'in proud of you! Please keep going. You're an inspiration for so many of us and YOU deserve so much better than the hands you've been dealt. This is your time to shine and to rise from the ashes like a Phoenix! 💜💜

    I wish I were your neighbor.
    Not in a creepy way, but I’m 63 and I have preschool memories of visits to a psychiatrist. Almost unheard of in the early 1960’s. It remains with me today. I can’t explain it to those not dealing with it, but I’ve always been this way.
    Don’t or haven’t been any other way. The good day/bad day is so familiar to me.
    Hang in. I now view it as an addict . I will live with BPD my whole life. I’m okay now, but I’ll always deal with BPD for the rest of my life.
    I’m super sensitive, but I always have been.
    I think of you every single day.
    I’m sorry.
    It reminds me I am not alone.
