Relationships?

[newme]

Can anyone share their experience of how this has affected their relationships? I started taking SJW about three weeks ago and it is really working-life changing, really. So, I recently started seeing an ex boyfriend again and my feelings are completely different for him this time (much much more intense). Is it possible that the SJW could create "false" feelings?

I seem to have a much more clearer perception of who is good for me and who isn't since I've been on SJW. My decision making is much better now that I've been on SJW, I'm less irritable around people who are important to me and can cut people who aren't good for me out of my life. Something I couldn't do before. So to answer your question, in my experience SJW doesn't create false feelings in regard to others.

newme,
Hey, yeah I'd agree with DW23. I find I am less apt to have little things trigger a negative or irritated response from me. I'm doing both sjw and therapy so I can't totally say which has helped where in the relationship area. But I think the sjw has made empathy is a little easier to come by and so relating to a bit easier. I also find a have a more confidence in myself to tell someone when something is bothering me - a hallmark of good relationships I think - making it easier to "get things out on the table" and communicate when necessary, rather than being passive aggressive which doesn't help relationships very much. Sounds like it's working well for you. Good luck.;)

Your replies really ring true for me as well and people close to me have commented that something is different and what a pleasure I have been to be around. All of my relationships seem to be getting easier. Thanks for your input!

I think that the 'false' feelings one experiences are the ones resuting from stress, anxiety and depression. Once these symptoms subside the real you shines through! :smile:

I suppose the only exception to this would be if the depression was, in some way, replaced by an excessive 'high' (i.e. a manic phase). That aside, I would enjoy getting in touch with your emotions again! :dance:
