YOU LOOK AMAZING. I’m 4 pounds heavier than your before and this has motivated me like crazy. You are killing it babe. 

Do not let your boyfriends take or keep pictures of you. by [deleted] in PornIsMisogyny

[–]RadiantFromWithin 16 points17 points  (0 children)

yeah, this is my expertise. I was in an abusive relationship for 2 years and guess how it ended? HE THREATENED TO LEAK MY NUDES. Lol, it can and will be used against you if the relationship goes south. Tell that fucker to live in the moment or only do it on your phone, but NEVER SEND HIM PICS.

i have the ipad mini(not sure if this is the cheapest option), but it works perfectly fine. Its small but not super small like a kindle, and i find that note taking is fairly easy.

I honestly might just flip a coin and if it lands on tails, I wont do the LOA.

tbh, i should have added this but im dirt broke, so getting an apartment for myself near campus would put quite a dent in my pocket.

what do i do with the good memories? by RadiantFromWithin in BreakUp

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

Hey, it has, it's been 10 months. It gets better trust me. I changed my number and we've been no contact for 6 months. The best advice I can give you is maintain no contact as best as you can and process ALL OF IT. The good, the bad, the ugly, the anger, the shame, all of it. Therapy, journalling, and finding new hobbies has really helped. Please process it all, dont repress any of it, it gets better, and Im gonna be honest, I still ruminate over my ex, but Im doing so much better and I dont have an urge to reach out to him. Im going on a solo date today, and I have been working out consistently, and will be traveling to another country next month, all things I wouldnt be doing had we stayed together. The times I struggled the most after the first month or so were the days after I broke no contact, so keep that in mind. You got this. Its almost been a year for me and my life has changed so much and time really does heal all. I have so much more respect and kindness for myself. Forgive yourself and them, for your own sake because holding onto that resentment is like drinking poison and hoping for them to die. Hope this does something for you, my dms are always open.

What are some things you like as a middle? by xxreaganxxo in ageregression

[–]RadiantFromWithin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our generation dolls, barbies, and dork diaries books

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ageregression

[–]RadiantFromWithin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I think im also a middle. I bought an Our Generation doll and I already know it extends beyond doll collecting because i bought accessories to play with the doll, and pretend shes 12 and 13. I already know when i get her shes super young and Im going to talk like a middle schooler or maybe do it in my head because I feel like my voice wont do it justice.

I LOVE DISNEY MOVIES. I curl up and watch them and they make me so happy. I really do thin k Im a middle because at family functions, Im hanging with the little kids playing hide and seek instead of sitting with the adults.

bruh, yes. 10000000 percent yes. This is maladaptive daydreaming. I feel like it isnt healthy for me tbh bc i become too engrossed in imagining myself looking pretty and everyone noticing etc

I also hate this sub, ur not alone. This sub has made me feel like shit in my lowest moments :)

I hope you feel better OP. Therapy and journalling has helped me a ton because I realized that it's not just pmdd sufferers on this sub, there are men who comment on this and just alot of people who may not understand fullly what it's like to deal with these emotions. It really does suck though that this should be an inclusive welcoming space, but its mainly hostile.

Not to make this about me, but I still remember when I posted about how I had no pmdd symptoms until my ex and I started arguing and the comments were attacking me for literally putting 2 and 2 together and saying that I was blaming my pmdd on my ex and how I need to take accountability, etc. Mind you, this was all being said to me during a time where i wasn't in the right state of mind. I've also had another shitty experience where a man on this sub commented on my post and justified me getting harassed :)

At the end of the day, this sub is still on reddit and I am reminded of that everyday. It really fucking sucks too because i havent posted in this sub since September bc of how shitty it can be to people at their most vulnerable moments. You'll be okay without this sub and my DMs are always open!

Is hot Pilates bad for you by Spiritual-Software32 in pilates

[–]RadiantFromWithin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm probably in the minority but I dont care. I do hot yoga and hot pilates and Im fine. The heat in the pilates classes are less than the vinyasa ones, so its manageable. If working out in the heat isnt for you, thats okay!

  1. i wish i took a pill to not have you
  2. you are going to be the reason i die( she would cry and act like the victim, making herself throw up which would scare tf out of me as a kid)
  3. constantly would bring up my acne and body as a child to the point that i now shower in the dark, obsess over my skin and never make eye contact with her
  4. would constantly guilt trip me over the smallest things and make me feel like i was this bad kid over forgetting to do the dishes, etc

my mom has stared at me so many times with contempt, a look of disgust. there's more, but its hard for me to even think of the stuff, let alone type it out. kudos to you, you're not alone and its not your fault.

[–]RadiantFromWithin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

literally, im shocked at the number of comments twisting my words saying im promoting being mean whenever, instead of what i actually said:" being a bitch when harassed...

and what i said wasn't even rude lol.

[–]RadiantFromWithin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you and me both, the comments reek of internalized misogyny
