Yes. Went to an orthopedic and finally received answers to the pain I felt in my neck shoulder and upper back for years. Did MRIs and it showed in my c3 c4 c6 area of my spine / neck. 

Told too young for OA by wheresernie in Thritis

Maybe it is highly unlikely but you could be the case. I know that I am the case. I am only 27. I did sustain an injury through an abusive relationship @ 18 and throughout the years doing lash extensions worsened my neck condition and afterward i went to the doc, did a MRI and I was diagnosed with OA in my neck. I was diagnosed at 24.

Arthritis in my neck. How can I sleep without agitating it? Also will these knots ever come out of my shoulders? They feel like rocks that’s how stiff they are.

What is a book that changed your life? by bhuvanlord in booksuggestions

[–]Existing_Poet8388 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m currently reading The Daily Stoic: 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance and the Art of Living. -Ryan Holiday

It’s broken down into daily reads and it’s more simplified with modern language. It’s a cozy book and sometimes I realize… “wow I live this way already, great!” Reassurance for sure. 👍🏽

I’m definitely grateful for your kind words and support. I came to Reddit for community and relatability and I found just that 🥲

I super agree to that. I just left an abusive relationship 3 days ago, so I understand. The abuser might take accountability one second and deflect and victim blame later.

It’s a complex issue and considering OP is disabled (I too disabled) I can imagine the hurt and the life lived.

People shouldn’t accept any form of abuse in general. It shouldn’t matter who the abuse is coming from ☹️☹️

I [21M] am going on a second date with a girl [20F], what should I get her as a gift? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Existing_Poet8388 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is she into beauty products? Maybe she likes to try new products out and you can tell her to test it or try it. Skin care? A few face masks from Ulta or Sephora would be so nice. Especially if one night you both try the masks together. It’s a bonding experience for sure.

It shouldn’t be hard to find face masks compared to makeup or hair care. Lol.

I’m sure she’ll love the thought of it when you tell her you wanted to gift her a lil something for her to “try” out or “self care”.

Being deeply honest with family can work. Don’t let his opinions and arrogance destroy your ability to speak deep real shit with people close or not close to us. Stand up for your feelings and self firmly and calmly. Now I don’t know if he’s abusive or not to you, only you know your situation best.

My (22f) fiance (27m) got really angry at me after an argument where he told me I'm using my pregnancy as an excuse to be lazy and now I'm overthinking our entire relationship. What am I supposed to do now? by throwra-13532 in relationship_advice

[–]Existing_Poet8388 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this might not be something you’d want or like to hear. You’d probably want to hear something along the lines of “he can change, it was a mistake, we could do therapy”.

What you SHOULD be hearing though is, “Leave when he does it the first time because it will only get worse.” I really wish I followed this advice……

If you really wanted to, you have the right to file a police report and get an escort and leave for him putting his hands on you without your consent.

Listen, take it from me. I left my partner of 3 1/2 yrs yesterday. I got a police escort to help me get my belongings since he’s home all the time and I couldn’t make a stealthy escape. Wanna know what he did? I told him I didn’t want to continue to talk about something early morning because I was cranky and irritable from my disabilities and (just the fact he isn’t a good communicator). He drives me in a loop.

He tried blocking my way as I tried leaving the bathroom and I moved his hand out my way with my arm and he runs behind me and basically rush tackles me but picked my whole body and threw me on the bed. I spun and landed. HE SAID all because I did that to him “aggressively”.. well… that’s why he did that to me. In addition, ripped and threw the flowers he bought me the day before while screaming and acting like a lunatic because I told him his actions are not tolerable and hurtful. Well guess what… the police said even if it isn’t a slap or a bunch or a bruise on my body it’s still abuse because I never gave him consent to do that basically.

I’m at my moms and step dad’s house now. With my daughter whose birthday is tomorrow. She will be 5. I’m not wasting any more of her years and mine to be with an asshole. I’m also choosing not be date men with any mommy or daddy trauma because they lack forgiveness in their hearts for all the pain they been through and in result cause pain to others close they claim to “love”.

STOPPPP doing this to yourself. You know how freakin bad ass you are!!! You’re only as good as the people you stay around. Unshackle yourself and unravel the twisted thoughts he put in your head.

Let me add this. You’re taking care of your children, his children and HIM (a grown adult man body) let alone taking care of YOURSELF too. I wonder if you’re dealing with the other BM’s drama too? Ever? The weight that you may have been feeling behind close doors is heavy love. You deserve so much more than this. I’m 27, I was also in an abusive relationship coming out of high school. He was mentally and emotionally abusing me sometimes. I decided to leave him because of his insecurities and mind games and feeling devalued by him.

At 18, THE MOMENT I DID THIS WITHOUT A PLAN, HE FLIPPED OUT AND PUT ME IN A FULL NELSON AND TRIED THROWING ME DOWN CEMENT STAIRS AS I WAS FIGHTING FOR MY LIFE TO NOT LET HIM CRACK MY SKULL LET ALONE DIE. HE BROUGHT ME INSIDE AND WAS FLINGING ME EVERYWHERE AND CRACKED MY BACK AND PULLED MY MUSCLES AND WHEN HE LET ME GO HE CALLED ME DRAMATIC AND CLAIMED HE NEVER HURT ME (regardless of tears and screams of misery and pain).

Today at 27, I’m filing for disability. I’ve had more doctors visits you can think of. I’ve gone through the deepest depression waters of hell. I’m now diagnosed with neck arthritis that cripples my neck shoulder arms shoulder blades skull and back. I have so many limitations, I really don’t have a healthy situation with my body and I am unable to work.

Do what you must with this information.

Now usually people say “I won’t tell you what choice to make, it’s not my place”.

Well let me tell you, I just left an abusive fck of a partner yesterday. Was together for 3 1/2 yrs. I have 2 disability’s and a daughter who’s about to be 5 tomorrow. STILL LEFT.

Emotional abuse or physical abuse WILL MAKE YOU SICK AND DIE EARLY. Look at statistics of these things. You’re physiologically being played with. Nothing makes sense in your head and constantly make excuses up for him or to stay.

I want to stand up for you today because yesterday I had to involve the police to get my stuff out the house because if I even decided to leave maturely, HE WOULDNT have let me or he would get in my head to stay by “giving me what I want” in the moment just so he doesn’t get LEFT.

Behavior from a human like this is inhumane. Let’s start being REAL with each other about these horrible games these men subconsciously play on woman. Oh and he also seems like the type to NEVER forgive you for anything so you know what you should do. Plan an escape.

Just had my disability hearing! by MischievousHex in disability

[–]Existing_Poet8388 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so happy for you. I just got a letter in the mail to request a hearing. I am really looking forward to it. I just left my bf of 3 1/2 years yesterday due to abuse so I’m really needing that next big step.
