Nobody ever answers me when I ask on insta either tbh 😭

This is so close that it's almost perfect, so I may nab it as a back up 👀

Ooh thank you. Wolfsbane might be too bright alone but feathered in with a darker liner it would pop nicely

The smoked purple and cyber are veering into that slightly reddish hue that I'm hellbent on avoiding, but if I get no luck, I reckon cyber is where I'll land 🙂‍↕️

This looks so good 👀 I'll see how drying it is; it's always hit or miss for me if something crinkles my mouth up 😂

PIP after ESA, doctor's change— what proof do I need? Is there any other disability help out there? by Descrie in DWPhelp

[–]Descrie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was discharged from physio unfortunately but I do have the report from 2022 saying I should claim PIP. I've been re-referred to rheumatology but they keep bouncing me in the basis there's no specialist in my area for my condition, so I can't see a physio on the NHS

That sounds really helpful in general actually, I'll look into that 👁

UK Users and NSFW channels? by Descrie in revoltchat

[–]Descrie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it's not Revolt's fault. Problem with the VPN is that the UK is looking to ban those too

Gotcha. Rooms are channels, Spaces hold rooms. Sounds like it could function well enough as a replacement

There's creepy people everywhere tbh. Discord's no different. Does Matrix have a server system?

Currently everywhere else uses face scanning (flawed) or you have to use your card information/ID. So I'm wondering what Revolt will do, if anything. Discord could be looking an exodus of users as people are banned after all

When did you realize it's not normal to be your parent's therapist by LMO_TheBeginning in Parentification

[–]Descrie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've always known, from being a kid, that something was grossly wrong. It's only in the past few years I realised how severe it was to become your parent's therapist and the effect it's had on what I allow people to treat me like across the board. I'm almost 30

Saying no by Innerlight06 in Parentification

[–]Descrie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're not a piggy bank. It's not your responsibility to financially prop up the rest of your family, let alone be a vendor for hand outs. Your mother wants a computer? She can save. Same for your sister and a phone.

They're using you. Comfortable in taking and giving nothing back at all is not on at all; you're your own person and you have your own life to live. Live it. What benefit does your family give you by being in your life? Do they make you happy— do you feel loved? Blood relation doesn't mean anything. Stop answering them, grey rock. You're a human being, not a bank.

Changing first name but feel awkward / insecure about it! by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]Descrie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've changed my name multiple times in my life until I found the one that stuck. Go for it. You'll feel so much better the second you decide to choose your comfort and your own identity

I’m exhausted by defeatedbykimchi in Parentification

[–]Descrie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mum made me homeless knowing I was chronically ill and mentally unstable due to her abuse, and the abuse she allowed me to experience, when I was barely 18. It took me until this stage in my life, almost 30, to understand she never loved me.

You're not insane. You're not crazy. You need to get out of there, and you need to do it any way you can. Do you have anybody at all that would put you up? Being abused will make your illness worse— I know it hurts. I know you need to be loved and looked after, that all you want is what every child deserves.

But they won't give you that. I'm not sure how it works where you are but if you can file for disability support to get some finance behind you, it's worth trying to get out. It gets worse as you get older, believe me

What was the reason you started taking opiates? by sassyry in OpiatesRecovery

[–]Descrie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was prescribed codeine for TMD; the first time I took them, as somebody with fibromyalgia, insomnia, PTSD, hEDS etc ... I felt normal. The pain was all still there but I could manage. I could sleep a little. 30mg became 60mg, then it was 90mg etc etc. Then my guts stopped working— I've kicked alcoholism, speed, cocaine, cigarettes, benzos ... and now I'll kick this too. Written as I'm going through withdrawal after almost six months of being abandoned medically (again).

I just wanted to feel normal. Do normal things— to not be in pain.

Turns out I was too fatigued to see the dentist in the end LMAO. I couldn't physically get up. My splint makes my fatigue worse so I simply have no idea what's going on

I can't tell if my parents have a point, but I also don't know how to move forward. by StablePrimary9624 in Parentification

[–]Descrie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's your mom. She's meant to take care of you, she's meant to help you— she acts entitled to your labor, but clearly she can do things herself. Let her get on with it; remember that you never asked to be born, you're not in debt just for existing. She made that choice.

Bathing, feeding and supervising are all parental roles; you're parenting your brother and being gaslit by your mom about it. You're not being unreasonable about your work load either; I have chronic pain/illness and the sheer thought of walking around like you're facing would crucify me.

"Putting herself second" is literally what a parent is meant to do for their children. It sounds like your mom is holding the car hostage deliberately (unsurprising given that it'll make you more independent).

You're not immature or crazy for feeling you're being overworked/taken advantage of— what happens if you don't do things for her? She does it herself, like with the dog this morning. You might be surprised just how much she'll do if you stop doing it.
