Friendships can be beautiful and add a lot of joy to your life. But what if you feel insecure in a friendship? Is it still as beautiful to you? And what can you do about this? I haven’t found the answers to these questions yet, but I will tell you about my own experience.

Best friends

I met my best friend 10 years ago. She was a friend of my boyfriend at the time and we clicked right away. We could talk about everything and supported each other through thick and thin. It also didn’t matter if we didn’t talk to each other for a few weeks; it always felt natural when we did have contact again. This worked great for both of us. We did live quite far away from each other, so unfortunately it was not possible to meet up a lot. However, our bond was so strong that this wasn’t any issue to us.

Grown apart

Through the years we have seen each other going through new relationships and breakups. Once in a while we met up, but we did talk to each other daily via whatsapp. Still, even the contact via whatsapp started to disappear. I felt like she didn’t want to talk to me anymore and was too afraid to reach out. It made me insecure, so I decided to let it go. After all, I did have other friends around me that made it easier for me to deal with this.

Back in touch

After not speaking to each other for two whole years, my friend decided to get back in touch with me. I was so happy that she did that! We found out that we were both too insecure to reach out, afraid that the other might be angry or didn’t want to be friends anymore. But, eventually we were fine! Crazy that we had our thoughts ruin a wonderful friendship. I wouldn’t let this happen again!

Insecurity

Despite our good intentions, I notice that I am falling back into my insecurities. I love this girl to bits; she knows everything about me and I can talk to her about anything. But I am always the one that reaches out. I know she has a busy life, so that should explain a lot. But still I keep on thinking that she considers me as less of a friend, than I consider her. If not, she would be reaching out to me too right?

I also find it hard to see that she has made a new best friend the past year. I am happy for her, but what does that mean for me? That I am degraded to a regular friend, instead of her best friend? Does she still want me as a friend or does it only annoy her when I ask her how she’s doing? I keep having these thoughts more often lately. And to be totally honest, it saddens and hurts me. It even makes me a bit jealous.

The solution

I still don’t know what to do about this. I am aware that it’s probably best to try and talk to my friend and that I should tell her how I feel and ask her how she feels. But the fear of receiving a negative response makes me avoid the conversation. And even if she would comfort me, that doesn’t mean my insecurities will disappear. Because let’s be honest, me being insecure in our friendship isn’t her fault. It’s about me and my own insecurities, right?

Can you help me?

When you’re confident you dare to stand up for yourself and at the same time respect others for who they are. Building self-confidence isn’t always easy; a lot of people struggle with it. When you have a disability it can be even harder. I too am disabled and found it difficult to be self-confident. But why is it this hard for disabled people to build a good self-image?

Confidence

You start developing self-confidence at a young age, for example by having loving parents who support and encourage you. But also by having positive experiences with other people: classmates, friends or kids from your sports club, etc. Self-confidence is like a stone foundation on which you stand; every positive experience adds a stone, but negative experiences cause other stones to slowly crumble. Unfortunately, it is far more difficult for people with physical disabilities to build self-confidence. Sometimes we lack good experiences that contribute to that self-confidence, such as participating in a sports club or having a nice job. In addition, I have personally also had negative experiences.

How come I feel less confident as a disabled woman?

You might wonder what those negative experiences are, that happened to me and caused me to feel less confident about myself. You might think, it’s probably not that bad. Below I am sharing some of these experiences:

  • You can feel that you are different from other people. You can’t do things that other kids can do. You cannot or may not always play and you often feel like you do not belong. As a child you are often approached differently by adults. Sometimes they favor you out of pity or good intentions. That often doesn’t go well with the other children, which makes you even more of an outsider and gives you the confirmation that you are different from others.
  • Sometimes people talk about you as the disabled child. You can hear people say: “Isn’t it terrible, being disabled like that? Also for their parents! Imagine having a child like that, I can’t even bear the thought! Must be hard”. It makes you feel like a burden and that doesn’t have a positive effect on your self-confidence. This feeling is often confirmed by commercials about caretakers for example, saying how they should be supported with their hard work. You feel like you’re the ‘hard work’ they’re talking about.
  • Your body is never your own. At least, not if you have a serious disability. You have to be washed and dressed every day. Physiotherapists and doctors, they all work with your body.
  • You fall in love. But soon you notice that you’re not seen as a possible candidate for a relationship. You look different from everyone else and it seems like you’ll never get the chance to get into a relationship.
  • You go to college and graduate, but people still reject you at job interviews. They even confuse your physical disability with a mental disability sometimes. Or, your physical ability asks for too much adjustment from the employer, which is too much of a hassle.
  • It feels like you are not always appreciated. Many people do not know how to deal with your disability. They are shocked because you are different and don’t dare to speak to you. Or, they will go out of their way to prove that they have no problem with the disability at all, and aren’t afraid to bluntly say so.
  • The hardest thing for me are people who act like they know what is good for me. Or people that do something for me with genuinely good intentions, without me asking for it. In those situations I have to be assertive in order not to get walked over, and I find that very difficult.

It is hard to be confident if you don’t have a positive self-image. You get fewer building blocks to build a good self-image and that makes it more difficult to be assertive in life. It’s not all doom and gloom; otherwise life wouldn’t be worth living. But it can be difficult sometimes.

A ghetto for people with a disability

In society there is also the idea that we have to feel sorry for people with a disability. In November 1962, a fundraising program was broadcast on Dutch television to build a special village in the west of the city of Arnhem. People with a physical disability could live in this new village, with adapted housing and an adapted infrastructure. The AVRO program was presented by Mies Bouwman and Dutch television viewers raised a total of twelve million guilders. They created a ghetto for the disabled.

In 1989 the NCRV broadcast the Dutch television program Drempels Weg; to raise money for people with disabilities. This action yielded approximately 5 million guilders. Fortunately, the approach of this program was different; its aim was to make existing buildings more accessible for disabled people. Through this program, the program makers did their best to genuinely show that people with disabilities also want to and can participate in our society. And that it is up to everyone to contribute to that!

Progress

Finally, on December 13, 2006, in the United Nations General Assembly, a treaty was signed that protects the rights and dignity of persons with disabilities or disabilities. It took until 2008 for the treaty to enter into force, but it was not until 2016 that the Netherlands started actually working on it. The great aim is that disabled people are allowed to participate in society. In any field!

A long way to go

But, there is still a long way to go. Every two years, The Support Fair is held in the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht. During this fair fantastic and innovative aids for people with a disability are introduced. All of these new developments would certainly benefit the emancipation of people with disabilities. But, unfortunately, practice shows that these fantastic inventions are out of reach for ordinary people. Disabled people are usually unable to afford these aids themselves and municipalities, which are responsible for this, go for the cheapest solution.

Help

It is very important that every disabled person has enough self-confidence to participate in every aspect of this society. That’s why I’ve taken the step to seek help; to work on my self-confidence, to discover that I can be seen, heard and show myself. Also to get an answer to the question “do a disability and self-confidence actually go together?”. This help has brought me a lot: every person, disabled or not disabled, has the right to be seen. And YES, self-confidence and a disability certainly go hand in hand.

Only a few days left before Christmas! For some people it is a wonderful time, but for others it can be very stressful and it can make you feel unhappy. It might have something to do with an earlier event, like death of a loved one or money problems. But you can also experience it as unpleasant when you are not in the right frame of mind. You ‘have’ to have a nice time, spend the whole day with your family and some have to buy an overwhelming amount of presents. It’s the most wonderful time of the year… but is it really?

The foregoing panic

I am very fond of Christmas. The lights bring me happiness, I enjoy the Christmas music and I look forward to spend time with my family.  But when I had my burnout my feelings about Christmas were different. The whole day with my family, but l the thought alone made me panic. Slowly falling asleep on the couch or spend the evening in the kitchen to cook? I was just not up to it.

Besides, I did not have the money to buy presents for everyone like I did it every year. How could I come without presents now?

Lovely family

Luckily, my family supports me, in everything. I spoke with my family a few weeks before Christmas. I told them I could not afford Christmas this year. I felt terrible, but I knew I had to do it. It would be even worse if I had to come without any presents on Christmas Day. I also wanted to make clear that I would probably not be there the whole day. My goal was dinner, the time I could spend longer would be a bonus.

My family responded so great! They were all very understanding. At my moms we decided to completely stop giving presents, also for the years ahead. And at my dads I was not aloud to buy presents, but I had to accept receiving them.

A load has been lifted

Telling my parents about my situation gave me so much rest. I even started to look forward to Christmas again! I asked so much of myself, tried so hard to be there as long as possible, but I was slowly getting better in listening to myself. And the same applies for this year. There is so much to do again, for example I am still getting used to the combination of school and work. However, my partner and I are going to have a nice Christmas. We are going to dine with my parents in law, and have a nice dinner at both my mom and my dad. So I am really looking forward to it again (actually setting up the Christmas tree right now)!

What if you cannot deal with it yet?

There will probably be people reading my blog, who do not have energy to get through the day yet, or cannot handle the pressure of family. My advice is to be honest about it! I will be the last person saying that everybody responds like my family did. I know a lot of people feel like celebrating Christmas with your family is a ‘must’. However, make sure you get enough rest, take care of yourself. Do you want to spend Christmas with your partner and pizza or sushi on the couch? Do it! There will be plenty of days you can be with your family, without stress and obligations.

However I still want share a Christmas song: Train- Shake up Christmas. This song makes me so happy!

Love, Renée x

Hi everyone! My name is Anouk and a little while ago I finished my treatment with NiceDay. I was very happy with how this all went and would like to tell you more about my experience with NiceDay. I hope that if you are going through something and have doubts about using the app, my experience can help you visualize what such a treatment might look like. And, that it helps you make the decision to look for help, or maybe not, because you don’t have to do anything!

Anxious thoughts and depressive feelings

Before I started my treatment through NiceDay, my anxious thoughts were getting in the way of life, especially my social life. In addition, I struggled with anxious thoughts and depressive feelings, and I wanted to learn how to deal with trthese. This eventually led me to NiceDay. I felt like my issues weren’t bad enough for a psychologist. But I still wanted to work on them and talk about it with a professional. So, NiceDay was the perfect option for me.

Sessions via the chat

The NiceDay team matched me with my practitioner soon after I signed up. You can choose whether you call or video call your practitioner, but my anxiety affected calling with other people. Their response was very understanding and we did my first 2 sessions via chat. This was very nice for me, but I also noticed that the sessions flew by and you couldn’t discuss a lot this way, since typing takes longer than talking.

Acknowledgement for my fear

After the second session I decided I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and to start doing my sessions via calls. I asked my practitioner and he thought it was a great idea. He also assured me that he would do everything to make me feel comfortable, which was very nice for me to hear. My fear wasn’t dismissed, but it was understood and acknowledged.

From then on, I called my therapist for every session. Sometimes this was very difficult but good at the same time. We were able to discuss more and my practitioner was very understanding when sometimes I didn’t get an answer right away.

The right tools

During my sessions we worked on my social anxiety, but also on my self-criticism, which turned out I do quite a lot. In addition, we also discussed things such as emotions and how to deal with them, the different coping styles, where fears come from and why you can have them.

I have learned a lot from the sessions and still try to deal with this. Because even though I have learned a lot, I am not quite where I would ultimately like to be. But I feel that I have now been given the tools to start working on my personal development. I believe that this will make me happy, something I wish for everybody and hope you will be too!

Social media

I am not quite where I want to be, and I am still working on developing and improving myself. On my social media accounts I share what I go through and what I have learned. If you would like to receive some tips and positivity every now and then, follow me on Instagram (@anouk_van_ham) and Youtube (Anouk van Ham). And, don’t forget to follow NiceDay op Instagram, because they share even more positivity and tips than I do! 🙂

I can share a lot more about my trajectory and my own process, but I think I have described the big picture now. I hope that you will experience the same success with NiceDay as I do, or that you choose a different path that works just as well! Thank you for reading, good luck with your own journey and who knows until next time.

Love,

Anouk <3

Anouk received online help through the NiceDay app. Would you like to know more about online help via NiceDay? Click here for more information.

Do you believe in the power of the universe? I do. I believe that the universe rewards you with good karma if you are good to other people. Also, if you not kind to other people, the universe “punishes” you with a bad karma. I have seen it several times in my surroundings and also in myself. Recently I experienced something different spiritually. I felt a very deep connection with someone. I was shocked myself, because I have never experienced this before and I did not know it existed. Confusion arose. That confusion is actually still there, because it is so new. To better understand the deep connection, I started researching.

Soulmate

It is often thought that a partner is equivalent to a soulmate, but this does not have to be. A soulmate can occur in both friendships and romantic relationships. The moment you meet your soulmate, it immediately feels familiar. It seems like you have known each other for years. In addition, it feels safe and you feel as if you can be yourself. 

Soulmates sometimes come into your life for a while. For example, they can teach you something or help you heal and then disappear from your life. It is also possible that they are always in your life. What it feels like to meet your soulmate is, in my opinion, different for everyone. Every person feels things in his or her own way. For one person it can feel very intense, and for the other it may feels normal. Yet, I think the universe somehow gives you a signal with the message that this person is your soulmate.

Twin flame

We are all born with a soul. With a twin flame, or twin soul, one soul is split in two. With a twin soul it is always about a man and a woman who are each other’s mirrors. Both twin souls come from that one soul, but are reincarnated in other bodies. They both follow their own path with the necessary obstacles and learning opportunities. It can happen that both souls find each other again and are reunited with each other. There are many traits that are the same with twin souls, but there are also the necessary differences. When twin souls meet, different things take place in your subconscious mind. This way strong emotions can arise or you feel a very strong bond between you and your twin soul. You can feel more energetic or very tired physically. In addition, you can go to sleep worse or dream a lot. Before you can really merge with your twin soul, you must go through different phases: recognition, testing, crisis, running away, surrender, enlightenment and harmony. After this both hearts will open for each other and unconditional love follows.

Soulmate + twin flame = Soul twin?

I recently had a conversation with someone with whom I felt a deep connection. The term “soul twin” came up. A term I had never heard before. After doing some research I didn’t get much wiser. Some websites say soult win is the same as twin flame. I find it vague. The only thing I’m sure of is what I feel when I’m with this person. It feels like we’ve known each other for a long time, it feels familiar. In some respects we are alike, we are working on the same process and sometimes it seems that we are each other’s mirror. But whether we are soulmate, twin flame or soul twin to each other? It is a new concept for me. Perhaps I will have more answers in a while.

Brandon sought help because he felt very gloomy. Thanks to the online coaching, he has started to love himself more. Curious about his experience? Read along!

How did you end up at NiceDay?

I came to NiceDay via Google. In an extremely gloomy mood I took the step to search the internet. I ended up at the website of NiceDay and noticed that the concept appealed to me a lot. I downloaded the app directly  and made a start with the process.

 Can you share more about your complaints?

I felt very sad for a long time. Primarily, this manifested in listlessness and fatigue. It also had an effect on my relationship, for example in the area of ​​sexual desires. For a long time I thought it would get better by itself. However, I could not figure out what exactly caused the complaints. During the process, my coach and I discovered that there I was having a depression. In addition, I was informed that my parents decided to divorce after a long marriage. This situation considerably enhanced my complaints.

 How did you feel after the first session?

Relieved, because I had really taken the first step. My coach asked a lot of questions in the first session. Therefore, she immediately had a complete picture of my complaints. However, I was still skeptical as to whether the process would actually help.

How did you experience the digital treatment?

Awesome! I believe that the digital treatment helps enormously with the treatment. You are in your own familiar environment, so you have the need to share everything faster. Another advantage is that you do not lose time to travel! It was also nice that the coach occasionally sent a message asking how things went in between sessions.

 How did you continue to use the NiceDay app, besides calling and chatting?

My coach asked me to register a diary with feelings in the app. This way, my coach and I gained insight into my complaints.

 What did you learn from your coach?

What I learned from coach Sarah is that it’s not surprising that I was experiencing depression complaints, given the circumstances. She also taught me that it is okay to feel pretty bad sometimes. She has also taught me that awareness of behavior and thoughts is an important first step. Once you are aware of this, it is easier to adjust. I started to love myself more. However, this is still my biggest challenge in life.

 Would you recommend NiceDay to others?

Absolutely. My coach told me that especially young men, like me, have difficulty seeking help. I hope this will change in the future. Many people experience something at some point in their life. This is nothing to be ashamed of. When someone in my area tells me about sadness or depressive symptoms, I would recommend NiceDay immediately.

Do you need help to feel good about yourself? Take the test and see if NiceDay is for you.

It is November already, which means that it has been 6 months since my treatment with NiceDay has ended. How am I doing 6 months later? I’ll explain it in this blog.

First of all, I am happy to say that I am doing well! During my treatment at NiceDay I realized that just after my coming out, my life had been a roller coaster. I had to made a big decision really quick: am I doing a 10 month internship in a country where gays are not accepted or shouldn’t I do that? I also got into a relationship fairly quickly. After this relationship broke down, I started thinking. This in combination with the fact that my grandfather was in very poor health, I lost one of my best friends in a motorcycle accident during my treatment at NiceDay and I  had to buy a house as well. During this period I went too fast for myself. I felt weak, restless, hot-tempered, sad and I was often unreasonable towards my family.

All these bumps are things that many people experience in their lives. If these bumps come one by one, you often can get through it independently. But all together at once, it became too much for me and I decided to go to NiceDay for help. My dear coach Sarah has listened to my story a lot and gave tips and hints on how to deal with my situation.

I mainly found out that after my coming-out, I was unable to process my “being gay”. Thanks to Sarah, I also found that writing things down greatly helps me to express my heart. I still use writing as an outlet, in which I can express many feelings and sometimes with a tear. About the latter: no, it really is okay to cry once!

I am also very happy that I can share my story on the NiceDay blog, so I can inspire other people and especially help them with my story. Personally, I don’t think I’m the only guy in a similar situation.

Of course, like everyone else, I have a day or an evening when I feel down. But now these moments often have a logical cause and not, as for my treatment, without an apparent reason for myself. Now, I give my life an 8! Especially after the move to my first home!

Hug,

Bert

I used to love puzzles. The nicest puzzle was that of Bert and Ernie. It was a large floor puzzle that I have redone a hundred times. As I grew older, I started to create puzzles with a higher level of difficulty. I kept on enjoying it and the satisfaction was great when I finished the puzzle. 

Now that I am an adult, I still enjoy puzzling. I puzzle in a different way than in the past, not with real puzzle pieces, but with issues. I usually figure them out, but there is one kind of puzzle that I have a lot of trouble with. I almost finished it, but the last crucial piece is still missing. It is the puzzle about why I was abandoned by a fundamental person in my life.

This blog is for everyone who was raised by one parent and is also puzzling about the question why he or she has been abandoned by a parent.

Incomplete

I feel something is missing. I do not feel whole. There is a black hole somewhere in my body that can never be filled. It’s too late now. At first I found that very bad and I grieved for that part of emptiness in my body. Now I am beyond that stage. Of course it still hurts, but I see that I want to continue and not get stuck in that emptiness. Therefore I need answers. Getting answers is not easy.

Two years ago I wrote a letter to my father. An answer never came. The first couple of weeks I almost got a panic attack when the letterbox clattered. Would this be the day that I get an answer? But to this day, it did not happen. Anger and incomprehension dominate. How can you treat someone from your own flesh and blood like that?

A final attempt

For the past two years, I have taken the standpoint that I am done with this and do not want to invest any more energy. But in periods of rest it keeps on going around in my head. The question marks are too large and I want an answer. Recently I have found out that I cannot find closure before I understand why he has abandoned me. There is of course a chance that he will not answer again. Do I have to make another attempt? Or let it rest forever? But what if he shows that he is a man and answers my questions? Then I can let go of all the doom scenarios in my head. I have nothing to lose, so in good spirits I will soon start working on a letter.

A new chance?

I have been asked several times if I would want to bond with my father if he contacts me. A few years ago I might have answered yes. Now I see that the bonding I had in mind is not realistic. I saw a picture of a father and a daughter who went to a funfair together and ate cotton candy until they were nauseous. The daughter was sitting on her father’s shoulders and she felt proud. Proud of her “superhero”. Proud that he is her father.

But I am not a small child anymore and now that we are a few years further down the road, I no longer want to bond with my father. In my eyes, it is too late. I cannot forgive him for what he did. He left a scar on my soul, which is still not healed. I hope to get an answer to my questions in a few weeks. If that does not happen, the true mourning process can begin.

Love,

Ghyta

I am having lunch with Sylvia. When you have 80 years of life experience, there must be some lessons you learnt or you must have very valuable experiences. I am very curious about hers.

How do you look back when you have 8 decades filled with life experience.

Life lessons. I think that’s a special word, it reminds me of school. I prefer to call it life experience. I was 27 years old and I was married. My former husband told me: “I won’t stay in the Netherlands till forever.” He started applying for jobs and got a job offer in Curacao. I thought: from Rotterdam to Groningen or from Rotterdam to Curaçao, I’m fine with all of it! I decided to go with him. I was very lucky to have my open minded mother. She told me: “Just go and see the world! Explore the world!” My mother was a positive, accepting and stimulating person. The way my mother looked at life was very valuable to me in my further choices.

Once arrived in Curacao we actually stabilized quite quickly. I eventually started teaching Dutch children at a primary school. I had great social bonds with my Antillean friends and co-workers. I never experienced a gap with the Antillean residents, I liked them and they liked me. But I was confronted with discrimination, something I wasn’t aware of living in the Netherlands. I think it’s good I got this awareness. I had no trouble to be in touch with different kinds of people, I just thought it was very special.

Now we are able to contact our loved ones very frequent and very fast. How did this go with your friends in Curacao? How did you talk to you family and friends in the Netherlands?

At that time you used telephones booths to talk to people, you could find them on every corner of the street. Some people had a landline, but not many people did. Contact with the outside world was via letters and phone. Every half year I called my mother, it was very difficult and expensive to do so. The advent of television had a huge impact on life. The world used to be small and organized: it contained of family, school and holidays. I think the advent of television and internet gave us a wider vision of the world. I felt happy in Curacao. You can’t think of missing something (i.e. a smartphone) that didn’t exist that time. It feels the same as asking in 20 years: did you miss hologram smartphones in your childhood?

What was your most positive experience regarding Curacao?

You will get used to new situations easier than you think. I also discovered I was able to live life without my family around the corner. Sometimes you have to go along in whatever crosses your path. Discover what happens. I went to Curacao uninhibited, I wouldn’t have missed it for the world. I don’t regret my 8 years in Curacao. I became more assertive, more more mature. I made new friends. I learned to talk about my feelings. I had to: you need each other and it is important to talk about what crosses your mind, what you experience, what keeps you going. Close friendships existed. I felt more secure and it felt so good to have friendship in which I could discuss everything! I got a lot of new energy, I learned to adapt and I enjoyed my time. 

If you decide to do something, do it with all of your heart. Enjoy!

Mr. R. came to my to work on his anxiety complaints. An online treatment at Synaeda. This is his experience!

Why was help needed?

Mr. R. had suffered from agoraphobia at a young age, in his case he was very anxious about large open spaces. In his youth he had already received treatment, which helped him a lot. However, he recently recently noticed that his anxiety obstructs his professional functioning. The lessons learned in the past did not help him sufficiently in a recent situation.

What did the treatment look like?

First we identified how his anxiety hindered him in his work. After this he started to seek for opportunities to practice his tools. The patient strongly controlled this. He went to work actively with all practice situations that we had thought up or could occur. In addition, we pay attention to what frightened him and how he might think differently to overcome his fears.

R’s personal experience with NiceDay

After concluding a successful treatment, I asked him to share his experience.

“When I wanted to go to Synaeda for treatment for my anxiety disorder, I was given the choice to do this via NiceDay. This would mean that the sessions would not take place on location, but that all contact would take place via video calling or chat.

First of all, I was somewhat skeptical. I had expected a great deal of distance between the psychologist  and me literally and figuratively. Yet the opposite proved true. Marjilde soon gave me the feeling that an online treatment does not necessarily means distance. Moreover, this method of treatment gives you the space to have an session at work, for example. You therefore have no travel time to the relevant location of Synaeda.

The guidance via NiceDay is also very pleasant. You can easily keep a diary, in which you write down, for example, the moments you worked on your fear and how you felt about it. The practitioner reads this and returns to this during the next interview. The app also offers the option to send a chat message to your practitioner if you have questions.

If you have doubts about following an online treatment with NiceDay, I can understand that. Nevertheless, my experience has been positive, I have noticed little difference between this way of treatment and having conversations with a coach or psychologist  in the same room. On the contrary, it has the advantage that you have no travel time and you can decide for yourself where you want to have the conversation. ”
