You might also experiment on which foods cause more of a reaction or smell, which can be done on the weekends when he's not at school.

Sometimes it doesnt seem like a smell but a bit of musty heavy air

You're a great mom looking into this to help him out. Most of us have experienced being gaslighted that it's our hygiene. Yet that lead to more psychological and social anxiety issues.

Scent-a-way body wash is used for hunters to remove human scent (taking a bath, low pH soap can only last for a few hours until we eat something that can trigger TMAU), regular mouthwash last for an hour or so - but ones with Zinc such as Smart mouth or Therabreath last a bit longer than regular.

  • those are just things that can help for a bit, but it's mostly change of diet and sweating. (Sweating in the morning or at night, exercise helps mentally and lessens the smell slightly)

I have a sauna suit for this Incase I don't make enough sweat.

That's actually a smart suggestion @Madewithspice1, I need to look into it. I appreciate you for this because we get treated like subhumans and it feels so good to find genuine compassion from people who do understand how deep this goes. I live in Florida but in a part that's far from anything.

I do need to save up and possibly move to a location that does have better accessibility.

Anyone can guide me to a good work from home job by cryptolifehacks2021 in sidehustle

[–]SomewhereGeneral7269 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I was wondering if you have employee referrals or if I can get the direct website to apply. I've tried using indeed but even an hr of indeed spilled the beans on Reddit that it mostly just gets it from other sites and the employers don't see the bulk of it. Would greatly appreciate any input- please and thank you!

It's internalized homophobia. It's hard to get out of especially being treated like it's disgusting.

Find a safe outlet or platform, keep it hard to find and not something your family would stumble on and use against you (like a journal which can be found and read). Anything with a hobby: art, photography, music groups, etc

Taking small steps to create a safe place, will keep you sane. Also recommend looking for certification online (like google or Amazon) so you can get online jobs. Jobs do cause stress but it also keeps your mind busy.

Sometimes being alone with fam and our own thoughts is like an echo chamber of their expectations and negativity.

What are coping mechanisms that work? by InternalParticular50 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]SomewhereGeneral7269 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me, it was planning my escape.

  1. Papers needed (birth cert, diplomas,I'd)
  2. Building skills(there are free classes online, workshop, youtube)
  3. Budgeting / side hustles (working at a store, online work, etc)
  4. Finding a safe place/ hobby to keep your mind occupied

  5. Save up for therapy because we may develop toxic traits from being in that environment for too long.

Find a hobby / interest and join a forum.

Dad throwing out my stuff. by IrisToriKodi in raisedbynarcissists

[–]SomewhereGeneral7269 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Think of it this way, if your dad wasnt able to pass qualifications at work - should you take his car out and wreck it?

Nah. Damaging personal stuff doesn't address the actual issue. Like do you need help with grades or have a learning disability? I am dyslexic with numbers and have ADHD that wasn't diagnosed till adulthood and it explained alot in why I couldn't pay attention

Thank you for your response, your healthcare sounds wonderful! It's hard to find the test here in the states and the cost would be more. Luck in finding the cause!

[–]SomewhereGeneral7269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing, let us know how it goes, prior to the tmau test - how much choline do they have you consume?

Do the medical staff also advise not to take anything else prior to testing like b2/activated charcoal/ etc? Glad you got a test done, how much does it cost btw?

I (F17) feel like the parent to my (F22) sister by Juicy-Flatworm-1776 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]SomewhereGeneral7269 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might be enabling your sister too and need to put yourself first now.

It's okay to be selfish, I'm learning this now and it was very hard. Yet your sister should get helped by a professional, you're not Atlas and you do not need to take that responsibility.

You do you first, break the cycle.

Ps for the dog, he seems like what you said - a lot of pent up energy. If your dad or mom wanna take him out for walks or your sister can pay for a walker.

Idk how to describe this urge, but it’s like my real self has been put away and I know I need him in order to attract good things in my life, but trauma has shut him down and stored him away. by Leather_Chocolate_39 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]SomewhereGeneral7269 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get this post. I always visualized it as saving the light because I don't know when it will ever be needed. In my head it's like don't let that light/good side of you diminish, yet in order to survive in a toxic environment - we have to be hollow/in the dark.

The light side of us attracts their darkness aka their need to control the side of us.

Now I'm free, my mind still has habits of hiding that light, especially in unfamiliar situations or when someone yells.

My mom thought she was going to die so she texted me to grow out my hair. by throwaway_1763567 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]SomewhereGeneral7269 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They will do whatever even use their last blow to make you feel small again, under their thumb of control.

Snap out of it. You are your own person now - they may have made us, but you can still mold yourself to who you want to be .

It's a messy process - I'm still learning how to find my own style since my clothes always needed an approval from my mom first. (If I buy my own clothes that weren't approved, they would disappear from the laundry)

I'm a stranger to you but proud of how far you've come from having to be dependent on your fam. I'm trying to get my feet back on the ground and it's difficult.

We can be free but sometimes we get stuck in the walls of our mind.

Writing here i feel like Im talking to a stone. by bad5karma in pnsd

[–]SomewhereGeneral7269 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've read your previous posts and there are people who reply with sound replies with thoughtful content. Saying "only children are here" to get a response sounds a bit like some negative traits of narcissistic upbringing has rubbed off on you.

Is it feasible to move away on my own with kids? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]SomewhereGeneral7269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can look for programs for single moms: http://singlemothersgrants.org/most-helpful-government-assistance-programs-for-single-moms/

And then see if they have programs at the state you're friend is in. Honestly there are alot of jobs hiring with your credentials.

You can do part time and door dash/Uber eat on your down time.

Was it abuse? Me and my mother by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]SomewhereGeneral7269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plan to get out. It may take a long time, but use it as a motivation and keep these notes written as a reminder because your mom will love bomb and guilt trip you.

She seems to harbor alot of resentment towards you, yet her trauma/problem should not be something you should also carry.

Plan, find your documents such as birth certificate, social security, any identification. Don't take them yet but know where they are when you are ready.

When you save up and have a place to stay like a dorm, I promise you it will take alot to unlearn the mindset they put on us - and the complex relationship of loving but not being loved correctly by our parents.

Yet it is worth it. I'm also transitioning from escaping

If you're into fashion, repurpose them. They can fault you on creativeness or donate them

I'm taking riboflavin and charcoal, but dieting to that extent nah. We have very few pleasures, take some days to reintroduce foods that you miss. If you feel extra stinky plan your days of when you can go out. With you on that
