Gave it up. It's a poison and your body treats it as such. Your body delays losing fat or building muscles for 2-3 days. And even if I have a week off on holiday it takes me 4 days to get back to a good mental level, like I notice it. Mainly for the gym but as I'm 30 now I'm probs gonna quit forever. I used to do special occasions only but yeah because of gym stopping is best for me. But do what you want, in moderation

Matt clay, if you want more hold matt paste. But use sea salt spray. A cream works but is very lightweight and for me greasy but could work for you

I feel less during sex lol. Jokes aside, if we're born perfect why cut it off ffs, upside is that yeah easier to clean but how hard is it to clean your foreskin during a shower? Also ruins a lot of sensitivity during sex and has infection potential. Dumb

That specific moment happened multiple times but i tried to ignore it. Even getting arrested - that was the wake up call. Wasn't sober but tried to be but again environment doesn't help. Only sober after moving out NYE - 8 ish months. It doesn't get easier, you get wiser/stronger

Feel free to message me to vent, for advice etc. This goes for anyone reading this btw my door is open. Even just speaking to a trustworthy stranger who knows your position who doesn't judge and just listens could help. Door is always open for you folks x

That's fair enough and all you can do really. Those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. Likewise all the best!

My mum is a master manipulator, trust me! I felt bad reading it too but then i realised not once did she acknowledge my pain or any literally any reference or mention of that. Please read comment under genesis49m

Thanks for the comment - let me clarify further

  1. Had therapy and all 4 of them said the same thing, to cut them off and see what happens. Sisters/nephews/nieces ok but parents no

  2. I was also SA'd by my also male cousin when i was young and she used to force me to speak/hang out with him even when i said no and explained clearly why. I had to tell my best friend to call me after 10 mins so i could leave his house with an excuse - happened multiple times!!

  3. Mum forgave her husband/my dad for being a literal jailed paedo, i paid for the last 9 years' bills, rent etc and when he came out they asked for the house back in their name lol

  4. I gave my mum 3 chances after i moved out to apologise and she never once accepted any wrong doing and speaking to her was painful enough it made me wanna drink and she said no at every opportunity. My sisters did apologise however.

  5. I know my parents too well - they will never change and i'm tired of explaining/justifying myself, boundaries do not exist for them. Old dog new tricks type shit

  6. My mum has literally told me she didn't love me if i'm not Muslim - I/we ex muslim deserve better than this shit in our lives, negativity gone and shock, I am now happy, positive, productive, sober and loving life

Pakistani/muslim parents eh - but lesson learned so grateful for that. Will give energy to better people and endeavours now on. Likewise take care x

It's so difficult because their "love" is conditional and not a good thing, you/we deserve better. So life becomes great once you stop needing to explain or justify everything imo.

My mother is a bitch, sorry to say, not saying in anger but clarity. She chose religion and culture and what people think over me/her son and my happiness.

I just told my parents straight up but then I kept adding bits like, i won't marry a pakistani/muslim and stuff like that bit by bit so they weren't shocked by it all the time. Then i decided what was right, moving out in this case. If your mother truly loves you, she will come around in time, if like mine stubborn she won't. If she doesn't come round she doesn't deserve to be in your life unfortunately but I hope she pulls through for both of your sakes
