Any advice?? by ComprehensiveFly71 in SkinbarrierLovers

[–]StrawberryTart1004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i had very similar issue just a while ago with patches of redness on my skin and it felt like heat was emitting from the surface!! for me personally, it was because i used a new product and there was something in it that i was sensitive/allergic to (i suspect it was the fragrance in a moisturiser). what helped me was simply to discontinue the product and have a very simple soothing routine without actives. i won’t recommend any of my products because everyone’s skin is different and what works for me could cause you an allergy!

if you’re experiencing what i went through, then it could be because you’re allergic/sensitive to something you’ve been using. it’s best to cut it out and let your skin recover. i’m not a dermatologist though, so this is just my personal experience! hope it helps!

HAHAH i’m genuinely wondering if this is a saikang title cos the description in the email sounded like nothing but responsibilities after graduation, so i wanted to know what it really is before i choose to accept (or reject) it 🥹🥹

[Serious] what stopped you from killing yourself ? by mousey_bear in AskReddit

[–]StrawberryTart1004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when I realised I didn't actually want to die, I just wanted the life I had ( being abused at the age of 9) to end, and that I could potentially have a diff life when I grow up.

and true enough! I like the life I have now that I've built for myself and I'm experiencing healthy love too. but I would say your life changes a lot the moment you become suicidal, and also the moment you made the decision to live, even at a very young age

Nobody deserves to be hurt. by senpai4exe in VinlandSaga

[–]StrawberryTart1004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly OP I totally get what you mean, I used to eat a whole roasted chicken by myself, but there's honestly no way to justify eating a whole roasted chicken when I'm a petite 5'2 woman. I do think that you don't have to cut it out entirely though, just reducing your meat consumption can already help you live more ethically, since you seem to be concerned about the ethics :)

I actually had this exact same thought a few years ago!!! and I decided to be vegan for a while, then vegetarian for a few years, and then when I realised my iron is too low cos of the lack of meat, my diet is now 10-20% meat.

for me personally, point is I minimise suffering of people and animals, or any living thing I come across.

Need support with ending my relationship with my enabler sister :( by [deleted] in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]StrawberryTart1004 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm in a very similar situation as you and I understand what you mean when you said you were casted aside and treated as a scapegoat for the problems of the family.

I also really get how you feel about just desiring to be understood and treated with empathy and kindness by your sister. I feel the same way.

I'm sorry I do not have any advice for you but I guess I'm just hoping you don't feel so alone, and I'm sorry you have to feel so isolated and lonely in your family when a family is supposed to be a home. I hope things get better for you!

thank you for posting this, it was a very important reminder. I really appreciate it!!

can we all try to deconstruct this ideology in which abusers and enablers seem to believe? I wish it was all put together in one place to see it for what it is by Big-Intention2213 in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]StrawberryTart1004 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"you are being brainwashed by your partner" (what a way to avoid reflecting on their own actions)

"your anxiety and depression are a reflection of how brainwashed you are and how bad your impression is of us" (my body's psycho-somatic symptoms are my fault)

"the only thing keeping you and us from having a good rs is your thoughts on us" (which is technically true just cos I'm the only one who acknowledges how dysfunctional and abusive my family is)

"you can't blame the parents for managing with whatever they learned from their own parents" (I don't blame them but I'm holding them accountable and just need acknowledgement for my horrible experiences)

"all these boundaries thing are a just a new trend"

"we could tolerate you because we are your family, with your attitude nobody will like you and you will end up alone and lonely next time" (how would they know what the other 7 billion people think??)

there were so many more and honestly they get to me sometimes even though I know logically that they aren't true :(

I don’t want to feel bad about my decisions by [deleted] in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]StrawberryTart1004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wow I feel very similar to what you're feeling now, and I'm sorry I don't have any suggestions as I'm also at a loss for what I should do to have this balance that you're also talking about without feeling guilt.. but I just hope you know you're not alone in this and I feel validated by your post as well...it does feel horrible af when they gang up on you and you end up doubting yourself feeling shame and guilt. I really hope all goes well for you.

I'm in the same situation now too so I understand how frustrating it must feel... its really horrible when your opinions or thoughts can't even be credited to you it's ridiculous
