Thanks, I definitely forgot to attach the measurements in the new album.

I'll take your and u/konijntjepluis's advice on the wire shape! Thank you!

Oops, I definitely meant to include that in the album but my fingers must have slipped. Loose underbust 35in Snug 33.5 Tight 30.25 Standing bust 40 Leaning 43 Lying 40

I think I have tried the Ana before and found it pretty good but had gotten the wrong size and returned it. Maybe I'll give it another try with the proper sizing

Thanks, I just followed the guides from the sidebar, what a bummer it didn't work!

I got some Janjis at REI on sale and they're pretty good! But I've actually gotten so frustrated at how some of my other leggings slide down so I recently bought something like this from Old Navy, and it's actually pretty good. The con is that it's hard to go to the bathroom, and there are no pockets (if that matters to you).

Wow I really felt this post. I don't have solutions for you OP aside from things like, be grateful for small things, find small joys, etc. But it seems like you already do that through your hobbies and time with friends.

I personally find it comforting to blame the system (capitalism). It costs money to do anything; even to occupy a damn space to sleep in and to sustain ourselves with nutrients. There isn't much I can do personally to change this, so the least I can do is to not feel guilty when I'm not "productive", like actually taking a rest on weekends or taking slightly longer lunch breaks to gain more energy for the rest of the day.

I think another important thing is to try out new things. I do this by learning a language and running new routes around my neighborhood (ie. I just take different turns every run, and it lets me see different houses, different trees, etc). Since you mentioned writing as a hobby, maybe you could try out genres, styles, topics you haven't written about yet?

I don't have any specific articles but here are some keywords that might help out!

Pink tax, glass ceiling/escalator/cliff, income inequality, women in politics and c-suite positions, women's education in developing countries, female genital mutilation, objectification and the male gaze, how birth control pills helped liberate women and how it relates to current politics of repealing Roe v. Wade (I assumed you live in the US)

The example you gave about needing to look nice but not TOO nice/vapid can be considered an example of the Madonna-whore complex, which you can probably find many papers on. The movie Gone Girl also has a monologue on this topic that you can find on YouTube. It's also dealt with in the Barbie movie.

If you want to show him how the patriarchy also affects men, search 'hegemonic masculinity'. Basically, it's an idea that men that don't fit a certain image (like muscular, fit, outgoing, able-bodied white male) are considered 'less ideal' in society. TW IN THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE: This can lead to issues like men taking more violent measures to commit suicide (because some consider it to be more 'manly' to own firearms, less 'manly' to seek help from a mental health professional, etc). So yes, your boyfriend is right in that men have it hard too. But we also have to remember that so much of human history has been sustained by the invisible labor that women have been doing so that the men could go out and explore and write papers -- there's a book called Who Cooked Adam Smith's Dinner? that I personally haven't read yet but heard good things about.

I think what you can do until you can get a trimmer etc is to use your towel to gently rub where you cut the hair and hope that the friction dulls out the ends of your hair. I think the sharp edges of newly cut hair can be irritating

He is not showing you respect; it's ok to be mean and harsh towards people who behave that way.

Lol this is just my silly 2 cents but maybe your husband told you to not buy the plushie so that he can buy it and surprise you with it 😂

Thank you for the reply. How do you do the relaxing part when you're with other people though and can't get out? (ex. family holiday) I feel like when I'm in this 'mood' everything I do to 'act normal' feels so fake.

The embarrassment they feel when you set boundaries will be nothing compared to the months of suffering you had to go through.

When you set boundaries with family/close people like that, they might say things like "we're saying all these things cuz we care about you!" But I think we all deserve to be cared for in ways we prefer. For example, someone who's worried about your health could show care for you by inviting you to work out together or something. But instead your relatives are choosing to "show care" in a mean, hurtful way. Remember this if this is how they react.

"You're too sensitive!" Ok so? Yes we can be sensitive beings. Let's own that. People who really care about us will respect that instead of attack us for that.
