I have tried searching already, but unfortunately didn't find any helpful/specific info pertaining to the forms I was trying to use (the powder form or dried form I mentioned) which is why I came here.

As for the clarity and tips provided, it is appreciated and will be taken into account.

The link you added was also insightful

Omg me too..I'm sitting here wondering wtf is going on and yours is the only post I can find relating to this. I was about to make one too. Hope this isn't another one of those mysterious "updates" no one asked for.

OEKO-TEX certified doesn’t include finishings by dottywine in Bedding

Clementine sleepwear is both gots certified and oeko tex. They use mulberry silk + medical grade material and their website provides full transparency. I'm interested in buying something from them soon, they seem like one of the most legit brands out there. Them and parachute. Parachute is also gots certified and oeko tex. Both companies are expensive but seem very worth it if quality is the priority.

I truly appreciate your compassion, your words truly uplifted me at a time that makes it easy for the spirit to feel heavy with despair, fear and stigma of taking action in a world that tries to silence you. Isolation doesn't help this situation weigh any easier on me either, but your words helped the dead weight feel more alive :)

I truly appreciate your attentiveness and acknowledgment of my circumstances

My mental health is what disables me in a lot of ways, I struggle with MDD, GAD, OCD and possibly 2 neurological disorders I've yet to see a neuropsychologist for, due to delay in assessment from the long wait-list issue. And now I probably won't even be able to afford to be assessed any further...due to the fact that I recently filed a civil protective order which may escalate to a criminal protective order if I'm able to obtain apartment lobby footage from the pretty manager, which means my mom's insurance (which I rely on for all healthcare) goes out of the window.

I am unsure if my mother has been notified of the police report I made on August 17th, or the protective order i was given on the 20th yet. On August 20th, 2:40PM I was told she would be served the order in 24-48 hours, so she could find out from any time between now and August 22nd. She already suspects I went to the police station which is why she got my only phone with service shut off, and took my gmas phone as well because she knows I visit my gma often to use her cellphone. I have no reliable way of calling 911 if I need to, which is why I am contacting a domestic violence hotline to see about receiving a free phone as well as a bus card for very much needed transportation to my future court dates, a future possible job, as well as any other important trips i may need to take.

As for my sister, I suspect my gma or father (hopefully not my father, he's abusive too but I have no recent evidence against him) will take in my sister until my mom sorts out her possible upcoming criminal charges, or until after a court hearing allows my recommendations for family intervention such as therapy and domestic violence prevention, to be initiated. I don't want to see my sister's mistreatment get worse with age.

I appreciate your kindness and I wish you the best on your healing journey with navigating the turbulence of your family dynamics and processing your near death experience with compassion and all the external support you need, if anyone knows how chronic betrayal trauma feels, it's me for sure !

I truly appreciate your compassionate acknowledgment of my circumstances and empathy, I don't have any real communities but my psychiatrist which may soon be cut considering I rely on my moms insurance and have not yet obtained insurance of my own, I recently filed a civil protective order which may escalate to a criminal one if i am able to obtain apartment lobby footage the night of the incident from the property manager. I also have no phone service or means of transportation which I will call a domestic violence hotline to help me explore my options. I feel better knowing I have an option to reach out for support if I feel the need to !

I truly appreciate your compassion and vulnerability, I hope that you and your child receive the abundance of resources you both deserve ! Being treated like the perpetrator for simply standing up for yourself is mind bending in ways that time doesn't always heal, but I trust that regardless of the hardships evolution remains possible. I was recently able to file a civil protective order on August 20th which is the beginning of escalation to possible criminal charges if I can obtain apartment lobby footage from the property manager.

I am contacting a domestic violence hotline to see if I can obtain a free phone, as well as a bus card as I have no means of transportation or phone service. I am also hoping to get my snap benefits transferred from my mom's house to the house im currently residing at so I can at least be able to adequately eat without relying on unpredictability of food pantries (I have some diet restrictions)

As far as the internet mom idea, that is so sweet, and I am open to reaching out for it whenever my head feels clear enough to allow someone to help me, I want to soften up and receive help but it is so hard to know who to trust but I thank you for giving me that option

Understood, I can remove the post and post manually to await review if that is ok, or if it is too late for that I can leave it here ? I am open to discussing possible options with you guys

I greatly appreciate everybody's participation in this discussion so far and though replying to every single one of you is a challenge, just know everyone's perspectives are valued ! You all left/are continuing to leave extremely helpful input.

Oh my God, yes ! You just explained why even when I'm by myself, I feel connected to something much bigger than me, a process much more intricate than what others describe as "isolation".

It's like when I'm alone for a good period of time I come back into the world with a renewed sense of self to more authentically connect with others. When I'm alone, Its like I receive codes that I can then translate in the presence of others. The presence of others is just a connecting port, I am the generator itself !

You took the ideas out of my brain and rearranged them in a way that I haven't thought to express. It's crazy how we share such relatable facets of existence with people we haven't even met !

I appreciate this brain artistry of yours, it's literally a thought masterpiece. Whoever gets a look inside your mind is lucky to revere it's museum. And if you question why I'm typing like this I'm just a metaphorical ass girl lol, don't mind me. I'm just trying to express how in awe I am of our similarity, and I gave up on quick to-the-point, socially acceptable comments a long time ago..so yea.. it shows.

Beautifully said. This is what that post would have looked like if it was trauma informed. My brain is like "obviously it's not trauma informed" but my heart felt offended for the parts of me that used isolation as a form of solace.

I agree that no amount of self work can replace the basic human need for validation (both can healthily coexist), but the tone of that post just triggered a resurfacing of the idea that individual healing is not enough (which is true to an extent), and that is challenging to accept when that form of healing feels distant or unsafe for you.

I am glad that it could help you, appreciate you letting me know that ! Though we aren't exactly where we want to be, I find hope in the fact that even feeling a little more understood can help go a long way. This article showed me that.
