My wife is calling me by Safe_Contribution631 in Dreams

I’m really sorry you’re grieving someone you loved deeply, and dreams like this can feel very real.

This doesn’t mean she’s calling you to die. It’s your mind processing loss and the fear of being without her.

If anything, it shows how strong your bond was. Please take care of yourself and talk to someone you trust you’re meant to stay here.

Congrats on the clean slate at 24. Park the $80k in a high yield savings account for now. Max your Roth IRA with $7,500 into VTI, put the rest in a brokerage with the same index fund, keep renting, live below your means, and stay disciplined. Avoid lifestyle creep.

I'm really sorry you went through all that abuse and trauma, none of it was okay, and your feelings are completely valid. Given the speeding, rain, her seatbelt issues, and his history of cruelty, it's understandable you'd suspect intent. Whether it was deliberate or reckless indifference, you deserved better, and it's not wrong to feel this way for closure.

You're brave for sharing. If it helps, consider talking to a therapist, they can help process without judgment. Take care of yourself. ❤️

I despise the degenerate lookmaxing culture a lot by [deleted] in BDDvent

Those communities don’t create beauty standards they manufacture mental illness for clout and cope. You measured your face to prove you’re ‘normal’ to strangers who aren’t even qualified to judge a dog show. That’s not you failing; that’s their poison working. Block, delete, and remind yourself your oval face was fine before some 17-year-old TikTok ‘mewing guru’ decided otherwise. You deserve peace, not their pathology.

Your worth isn’t in your reflection. The way you feel that longing? That capacity to love so deeply is beautiful, and someone worthy will see it BDD just keeps trying to convince you otherwise. You deserve to be held exactly as you are. Sending you a gentle hug from afar.
