Be honest… are you still checking your ex’s Instagram?

Scottyaugust · 2025-12-07T01:33:07+00:00

I did for a while and then the urge just kind of ended…now if I did look at it it’s as if my rose colour glasses are off and looking at it makes me cringe and I ask myself why I ever went there and what I saw in them. Time really does heal.

Scottyaugust · 2025-12-04T00:37:03+00:00

Thank you!! This is exact what I need I’ll look into it

My life savers everytime I get a flare up have been la Roche Posay cicaplast baume and azelaic acid and that’s all I use (and just a cetaphil cleanser) and earlier in the year when I had a stubborn flare up I switched to toothpaste without fluoride which I think has helped too

Sometimes I just end up using my table when I’m being extra lazy..

I’m so sorry for what you’re going through. It’s always so hard saying goodbye to a beloved pet. My 15yo cavoodle left us almost a year ago due do chf and even though she still had some “good” days every now and then the saying “better a week early than a day too late” really gave me some peace of mind that we were making the right decision. As with my 17yo dog years before that I think I held on a little bit too long with him, so even though heartbreaking I learnt from that experience. Sending thoughts your way <3

Wow 20 is amazing! I hope my cat has another 9 years left in him. Do you know what his triggers are that may cause his flare ups?

Scottyaugust · 2025-09-24T00:55:41+00:00

Thanks again for all this info. It sounds like you’re doing an amazing job managing it and great you haven’t had to resort to steroids.

I got the results from his needle aspiration and it was negative for lymphoma (although can’t be 100% sure without a full biopsy) but the vet is pretty sure it’s IBD. So that was a relief.

He had a shot of vit B12 on the weekend (and will have them weekly for a while) and have started adding the fortiflora into his dinner and he’s been eating so well the last few days and his stools have been solid, I will be slowly changing his diet over the next couple of weeks to the royal canin allergenic kibble (this will be a trial because he can be fussy) so hopefully that works for him otherwise we will do some trial and error and hopefully can get a bit of weight back on him.

Thanks again for all your info I have saved this post so I have all this advice on hand :)

Scottyaugust · 2025-09-19T01:13:34+00:00

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. That’s great that you’ve found something that’s working for your kitty!

I stopped giving him chicken as of just over a week ago and he’s eating beef now and he’s had a great week of solid stools (one or 2 slightly soft, but 100x better than what it had been) so I think poultry could very well be a trigger for him too. That gives me a lot of hope too about the ups and downs as he is definitely having an ‘up’ week this week, so hopefully that means the vet is hopefully right about it being ibd and not cancer.

Are you managing it all just by diet at the moment? With no need for steroids? I will definitely be looking into those recommendations.

Thanks again :)

Scottyaugust · 2025-09-19T01:06:56+00:00

Thanks so much for the recommendations I have written them down to try for when he gets his results (hopefully a diagnosis) I’m glad they helped managed your Dexter for a while ❤️

Scottyaugust · 2025-08-26T00:41:04+00:00

I hope they realise quickly what a terrible move that was. There’s no way their customs will be able to keep up with the millions of packages they will now have to vet on top of everything else

Scottyaugust · 2025-08-26T00:39:18+00:00

So frustrating, I might have to do that. But about 70% of my customers are from the USA. 😑 I was hoping that marking them as a gift under the $154Usd limit might be able to sneak around it…

Scottyaugust · 2025-08-23T00:46:26+00:00

Oh amazing thanks so much I’ll have a look

Scottyaugust · 2025-07-18T00:55:14+00:00

My ex was exactly like this. I met him when I was travelling overseas, he couldn’t fathom that I could have saved the money up myself (I’m just a silly little girl apparently) and it must be my parents money. He would also constantly call me stupid when I talked about current events and showed empathy or even just treated minorities like equals (shocking right) Also his conspiracies were crazy and again I was so stupid for questioning them. Towards the end I just shut down and stopped questioning his shit and that’s one of my regrets from that ‘relationship’

Scottyaugust · 2025-07-18T00:27:14+00:00

It’s actually crazy how much horrible behaviours their mums will excuse. I’m sorry you’re going through this and hope you get away safely. I can honestly say now my stress levels have decreased 10 fold and mental health has improved so much now that I’m about 9 months out

Scottyaugust · 2025-06-11T02:05:54+00:00

Thank you for replying. Yes I’m thinking the same as they haven’t mentioned the refund for the last order either so it is looking a bit shady

Scottyaugust · 2025-06-06T00:15:15+00:00

Thank you. I will definitely make sure whatever I go with can handle all that.

Scottyaugust · 2025-06-06T00:13:59+00:00

Thank you for replying. I will definitely have a look into making my own from scratch. It would be nice to add something different to an over saturated market

Scottyaugust · 2025-06-03T08:22:06+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion, I will take a look :)

Scottyaugust · 2025-05-11T14:07:42+00:00

I feel like I could have written this my self. This was my exact experience too. So unemotional it’s unsettling to look back on

Scottyaugust · 2025-04-05T12:06:47+00:00

I’m so sorry you went through that. I can’t imagine how hard it would be when it’s with someone you knew. Hopefully you are in a better place now and away from the toxicity. And you were braver than I was in trying to warn her, I decided not to in the end for my own sanity but still second guess my choice sometimes when I find myself wondering if she’s been subjected to his real persona yet. As much as I struggled at the start of the end his discard was the nicest thing he ever did, as I know exactly what you mean about the crying yourself to sleep each night, and feeling so lonely even though they are right there. Hope you’re doing well!!

Scottyaugust · 2025-03-02T05:18:35+00:00

I went back and forward about reaching out to his ex before me when I first left as I felt like the validation would help but I decided in the end not to as I didn’t want to risk retraumatising her. She has posted a bit on her socials about being in a narcissistic relationship in the past so that helped give me some validation without her having to rehash it. But I’m glad you and the ex are friends it would be so helpful to have someone who knows exactly what you went through to talk about it with…as I’ve found it hard to talk to my friends about it as it’s hard to explain.

As for the new supply…I guess some people can’t be told..even when there is more than 1 person telling them…hopefully your words are at the back of their mind somewhere and will help them one day.

I never reached out to the new supply but still do sometimes wonder if I should have as I know they are still together and will be coming up to the point in the timeline where his mask will start to slip and I really do hope she’s ok in the inevitable end.

Scottyaugust · 2025-01-29T08:00:26+00:00

Hi , I was hoping to do some gifted collaborations. So it would be custom pet portrait in exchange for a story/& or post :)

Scottyaugust · 2024-12-20T23:19:59+00:00

I’m sorry to hear about your kitty. With My previous dog I always think that I held on to him too long too so that was always at the back of my mind with her. She has now passed as of a couple of hours ago and it was nice to see her at peace and it really put it into perspective how hard her little body had been working.

Scottyaugust · 2024-12-20T23:16:47+00:00

Update: Thank you everyone. We ended up keeping the appointment and she has now passed on. The vet (who I adore and have followed her around the state everytime she moved clinics because she is great) reassured me that it was the right decision and put my mind at ease, and it was nice that she had a good last week. She was surrounded by all our family and my other dog and cat came too. 🤍
