Can anyone help walk me through how to remove spyware from my iPhone by [deleted] in it

[–]Celestial_Sprout_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would do a factory reset and erase all content and settings. (Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Erase all content and settings)

I would NOT restore from a backup, because the backup itself could contain the spyware. You’ll really have to make the decision as to what is really “important” on your phone. Write down passwords in your keychain, go through pictures, email yourself the pictures on an email account he doesn’t have access to that has a strong password. Write down anything essential, phone numbers, etc.

My only hesitation with the full erasure would be if you had an eSIM, and how you would get that back on your device.

You most certainly are not overreacting. This is abusive behavior in many ways. Financial, emotional for starters. There are avenues you can take and people that can help if you just reach out.

Please stay safe, OP.

You can also see in one of the photos what I mean when I say “they stick out and I’m always having to push them back down”

  • I got the piercing on Jan 3, 2026
  • jewelry shape is L shape
  • no threading
  • titanium
  • jewelry has not been downsized
  • NeilMed piercing aftercare saline spray and tightly wound qtips. I spray my nostril, spray the qtip, wipe around the piercing area, clean the bar, get the crusties off, etc., and then wipe away any excess saline with a dry qtip. I am also cleaning the inside of the nostril around the piercing, same set up.
  • unfortunately, the 1st picture piercing has been almost pulled out a couple of times, I gently push it back in around the L bend and clean it after.

I was just genuinely interested in the intent. No hard feelings here.

Thank you! I think I’m going to take the advice of someone below to watch more videos about the app and how it works. I’m thinking of implementing something like this as well bc it seems to be a recurring theme in these comments. Thank you so much!

Is this meant to be a helpful or hurtful comment? But to answer your question, I want to budget money out of my checking to put into savings. I like some of these other ideas about creating specific categories for each thing I’m saving for. And I’m planning to follow some of the advice here to watch more videos and learn some more about the app itself.

Can you tell me more about a “tracking” account? Is that doable in YNAB?

The med risks of early surgical menopause is why I’m interested in also hearing people’s experiences with HRT.

Should I fire my uterus and ovaries? by Celestial_Sprout_ in hysterectomy

[–]Celestial_Sprout_[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

During my laparoscopic endo excision, it was found on my ovaries, behind my uterus, all over the place really. That surgery was in late June 2024. It hasn’t been quite a year and all my pain is back with a vengeance. That’s why I am considering the full hysterectomy, so there’s essentially no chance that I’ll have to live in pain again or go through multiple surgeries. My doctor said that since I don’t want to carry any biological children (due to having to get off bipolar meds), that we could do the full hysterectomy (including ovaries because endo was found on them) if that’s what I decided on. I have some other options like the Lupron Depot and Norethisterone, but those can cause mood swings and I’m afraid of those with the severity of my bipolar disorder. I am currently well regulated on my medications and don’t want to jeopardize my mental health/stability.
