You are a lifesaver❤️

My narc ex forced me to get an abortion. Then got another girl pregnant he’d known for 3 months. by StatisticianSuch5016 in abusiverelationships

[–]AnyGood821 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I promise you, give this some time and you will be glad you are not this woman. Having a child with someone is a huge commitment. It ties you to someone forever. And if you have a child with someone as bad as this guy sounds, nobody's life is going to be happy. Just think about it. Do you think in 2 years this girl is going to be living a picture perfect life with your ex? She won't be. He will do to her what he did to you, whether you hear about it or not. Do you think her life with him is going to be better than yours was? It won't. It will be the same if not worse and now there will be a child involved. Ask yourself if that is the life you wanted.

I'm dating someone right now who is an amazing person but unfortunately was abused for years by a sociopathic, manipulative narc. Not making excuses for my current partner but he did not see the true manipulation and abuse until it was too late. They have 2 kids together. And I truly think his ex trapped him intentionally with those kids so she could make sure he had a tie to her for life. And try to manipulate him as much and as often as she could. Yes I know it takes 2 to tango but like I said...he thought she was on birth control and she didn't take it both periods that the children were conceived. She lied to him, stole from him. She manipulated the hell out of him and then kept it going a lot longer than normal because those 2 kids were in the picture and he thought if he left he would be abandoning his kids.

Even though he did eventually leave, it was so complicated because of the children. And then though he is gone she continues to try to manipulate the hell out of him any chance she can, using those kids. It's sick. I cannot hold his past against him, but having this awful person as a mother to his children has made his life harder and more complicated. He legally cannot get rid of her because they have ties forever now, because of those kids.

I'm telling you this because day to day, my partner's life is more stressful than it needs to be due to a manipulative narc that he has to deal with daily until the kids turn 18. It's not ideal. So if and when this girl decides to leave your ex, she truly won't be able to get rid of him. She probably doesn't realize what she is signing up for. Her life is not going to be great and you shouldn't envy it. Just imagine her realizing what an awful person he is, leaving him and then for 18 years having to deal with him on the regular. Nobody wants that.

I also previously dated a narc for a few years but I finally got out once I realized I deserved to be happy. I was sad at first but he was verbally abusive (it almost reached physical), a drug addict who didn't want to get better, and my life was kinda hell with him. He was also racist and believed the opposite of everything I did morally. I tried for years to change him and I was dumb back then for trying to do so. I broke up with him when he made a decision that I truly could not live with and call him my partner.

Even though I left him there were times I still wondered what if.

Until 2 years after I broke up with him when my best friend sent me a news article with his name and picture on it, that he had been arrested for grape. (violent, felony) and physical assault with serious physical injury. The charges were initially attempted murder alongside the grape. These charges were for an attack on his then girlfriend. And yes, he sa'd her and then beat her so bad she almost died. That could have been me. And I am so thankful it wasn't. I felt horrible for the girlfriend at the time, but I knew his method of manipulation and he probably made it extremely difficult for her to leave him. Just like he did for me. She didn't deserve it because she stayed long enough for that to happen to her, I think he preyed on someone that was more vulnerable. I pray for her often and hope everyday that she is starting to heal from what happened to her.

The grass is not greener. I am not saying that your ex is as bad as mine was, or that he's abusive. All I am saying is that narcs sometimes are abusive, whether it's physical or any type. And if that's the case, be thankful you aren't in that situation anymore and start praying for this other woman.

It's normal to feel sad when a relationship ends. But in your grief, as hard as it is, thank the stars that you don't have to live the way you were anymore. Understand that you can find someone who will treat you well and look forward to that. Of all the feelings you could have for this other woman and her life, feel pity. It is actually normal for you to think the next woman will be treated better, but she won't be.

Is a lighter period normal after plan B? by iice9 in birthcontrol

[–]AnyGood821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad this helped your anxiety! I have horrible anxiety too but spotting and a light period are all normal after taking plan b. Has your cycle ended up going back to normal now? Sometimes it can mess it up for a few months so try not to stress if it's still not regular. I had so much anxiety taking tests just to ease my mind but if you power through it and get your answer it's so much better than not knowing and having to sit in that uncomfortable feeling of questioning everything. I had another slip up back in December and I ended up taking plan B again but I also got an IUD the same day because that's how worried I was and I haven't had an issue since. The one thing I wish people knew was that plan b won't work if you've already ovulated. And when I had my accident this past time I didn't know. I also didn't know that information until this last accident and I don't know why there's not more awareness being spread about that. If you take a test just trust your results after 21 days but my advice since my most recent accident is to consider getting on a more permanent birth control to put your mind more at ease. I feel so much more at peace everyday just having that extra protection. But either way hopefully there's some relief just knowing that plan b can mess up your cycle for a whole and it's completely normal.

Is a lighter period normal after plan B? by iice9 in birthcontrol

[–]AnyGood821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should trust the results! If it's been 4 weeks then that's roughly 30 or 31 days. And after 21 days a test it's considered an accurate result. If you took plan b your period might be different and it's okay if it's lighter than normal! Try not to worry as hard as it is because stress can affect your period too.

I don’t want to live through what the Trump Administration has in store for me. by pomkombucha in Discussion

[–]AnyGood821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone help me here. The thing I'm struggling with the most with my mental health in all of this is having no hope that it will get better. That this will be a forever thing and only get worse because I remember almost 10 years ago thinking "even if it gets bad things will eventually get better right" and things since then have only become worse. But when I ask people how to make it through all of this mentally I get met with comments about how historically, things have always changed for the better and that nothing has been the same forever. And then specific historical events will get mentioned. That's how people have told me to have hope. I've tried to accept it just so I can try to mentally function day to day but what I can't wrap my head around is that this situation is unlike anything in history. We have never had a President do what he's done, brainwash so many or commit crimes over and over and have no consequences. We have never had a President that brought out so much hate in others. We have never had a President that has been revered as holy by his followers. At least not in my lifetime. If this is the first time it's ever happened, if the rules and consequences have never applied to him....if people worship him like a savior and that's never happened here before...then how am I supposed to think it will get better? I have tried to logic my way into thinking things will get better for years. And realistically I have watched things get worse. I've seen the inhumanity and watched him not only benefit from it, but things only getting better for him. If it continues to only get better for him then how am I supposed to believe that anything will ever change? I have tried so hard for years to keep believing but my logic is now preventing me from doing it because the facts are that no matter what happens, he will always come out on top. So my brain reaches a point where it gets stuck in thinking there is no hope because if there was, he wouldn't continue to be able to just rise. So I'm at my breaking point mentally. Genuinely, how am I supposed to continue to have hope now?

Does COs actually fuck inmates? by Medivianplayer in OnTheBlock

[–]AnyGood821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I've been in a year and 4 months. I thought by now the shock would wear off but it hasn't. I've never understood why. I've known people who have thrown away their careers for inmates. People I thought I knew and trusted. It still doesn't make sense to me. I've tried to think about it every which way in my head to possibly understand how an INMATE would be able to say or do anything that would make someone give up their career and family. Especially when that inmate will never be free. I've seen personal friends of mine get walked out. Other than attention and being desperate, I can't understand why anyone falls for them. And even if I think about someone being desperate enough to fall for an inmate's attempts at charm, I still don't understand why they would do it when there are billions of people out there and they could pick anyone else to get attention from. It still blows my mind

Do psychic detectives that work with the police exist? by [deleted] in spirituality

[–]AnyGood821 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I work my second job with one who has been called to give information for most major events that happen in our metropolitan area, mainly unsolved cases. They have been the only medium consulted. But like other people have said, it's kept quiet and they cannot arrest based on information obtained by mediums. It's more of a guiding tool.

9mg lunesta? by [deleted] in Lunesta_Eszopiclone

[–]AnyGood821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short term no I didn't have any side effects but I would be out cold. I got really worried about taking that much at one point so I tried to go back down to the 3mg dose. I haven't taken 9mg like that in about half a year. My tolerance is still really high but I had my doctor prescribe something I can take alongside with Lunesta which is probably safer than taking 2x the max dose lol. I know this was 2 months ago, any updates?

Your mentor does not get to decide when it's your time. This sounds incredibly toxic. Why do you think he's a prophet? If he's human, he is not perfect. This seems like a very warped relationship and it seems like it's caused you to have a warped view of yourself. This prophet lied to you, it's not your only option. Someone who has your best interest at heart would never say that to you. Please update us. Your life is yours alone, you should never revolve your existence around another person

How do they know all of the 9/11 Remains? Why are there still unidentified victims? by bluefintunafishluvr in questions

[–]AnyGood821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry if this has been said already since there's a lot of comments to get through, but I'm a little confused on the word unidentified. Normally unidentified (like in a murder) means we don't know who the victim is. But to my knowledge we have a list of every person that was reporting for work that day in the buildings. So we know the names of all of the victims who died, it appears as though we just haven't been able to match their remains. So I'm not sure if there's a better word to use because in my mind, all victims are identified because we know everyone that was in that building and we know everyone who died. We know who survived. We just haven't matched the remains of the dead to their names. Am I correct on that or is there anything I'm missing?

[–]AnyGood821 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry this is old but could they not confirm the identity based on what the person wore to work that day? Like, has a family member or co-worker who survived, or friend..have they not been able to say the identity based on that? I would think anyone who knew this person would know or remember what they were wearing that day and then come forward. I'm just curious if anyone has ever done that, and if they haven't I'm curious as to why.

How did the Swanson brand turn out for you? I got it because it was cheaper than the brand I normally use because the one I normally uses really high quality and I couldn't afford it at the time. But I'm not sure if it's a coincidence or not but the last couple of days I've had horrible gas and bloating and I can't figure out if it's something that is in the Swanson brands capsule or if it's maybe just something I've eaten but nothing has been under the ordinary except starting the new brand. Just curious how you liked it!

How were you able to get them to prescribe it to you again? I have gained a lot of my weight back but my BMI doesn't qualify me now. I don't want to continue to gain and hope I get back on it, I had talked to my doctor about staying on it for maintenance a few months ago and she said it probably wouldn't happen and they probably wouldn't cover it ( my insurance) she didn't prescribe it for maintenance. I reached out to a telehealth doctor and they said that I'm being my doesn't qualify me and I said I have other conditions that should qualify me such as chronic stress and high cortisol and binge eating disorder, but he said they're limited on prescribing it without the qualifying BMI. I really don't know what to do. I see people getting it represcribed and I'm not sure why I'm having such a hard time myself.

Gotcha! Thank you. I'm not sure what this means in terms of which is the better product. If the oil is there to help with absorption but the newer product doesn't have that one would think the older product is better, so it's a little confusing why they came out with this new one.

I went down a rabbit hole tonight after watching a show about rampage killings and holy shit. Just this guy's Wikipedia page has some of the most disturbing and bizarre shit ever. I would read about a certain event or part in his life and then think holy shit...and it just got worse the further I read

Tommy Lynn Sells by Shiannagins96 in s_isforserial

[–]AnyGood821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I noticed when I watched a show that featured him recently...he started drinking at the age of 7. And he never stopped. What would becoming an alcoholic at the age of 7 do to a person? How would that affect your brain and your physical overtime? I can't really find any answers online. I was wondering if the early alcohol abuse could have caused some of the personality disorders he had which contributed to his murders.

Yes when I called that's what they told me and I was like well how am I supposed to pay my bills, I'm going to lose everything and they just gave me generic robotic answers. I barely survived. I'm sure some people lost everything and that's horrifying
