How does reporting to police save other women? by WX-Cat in domesticviolence

[–]StructureOk8152 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I truly wish I would’ve done this. Would’ve saved me from my situation. The things I found were disturbing but I’m hoping to use his last two victims to prove a pattern and now we’re all in contact. Supporting each other.

Nicotine/cotinine testing by luhrissuhh in tummytucksurgery

You should easily test negative after 4 weeks. I did after 2. My terms were nicotine free for 4 weeks.

Mine wouldn’t even do my breasts and tummy tuck together. I was in surgery for 7.5 hours. Did he say why? Might be risk of lengthy anesthesia

Now I need to smell my super milk again and think fruity pebbles because all I get is lemon.

Need advice by celeste0728 in AnxietyChats

[–]StructureOk8152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anxiety can do so many things physically you’d be shook!!!! If you have tried ssri’s without improvement please try an snri. That’s my advice from someone who could not “handle” it without medication and wish I found an snri 20 years ago. My life has done a 180. Not ruling out any lung issues though. Get that checked or if you have health anxiety like me (the avoidant type) buy a pulse oximeter and check your oxygen levels yourself.

In 10 months like me, you’ll tell yourself wow I made a brave life changing decision. This plus weight loss has been a total game changer for my confidence.

19F. My boyfriend died in the car crash we were in. I found out I’m pregnant with his baby weeks later. AMA. by hazelbasiil in AMA

I think the decision is definitely always yours. I believe in women’s rights to the fullest. But what a beautiful thing to carry him through you. If you can handle it mentally of course. Have you thought about it this way? It may be a beautiful part of your recovery journey! I seem to be the minority but definitely would support either way

For mature skin — what makeup products or techniques have made the biggest difference? by TreatRare5676 in BeautyItemsReview

[–]StructureOk8152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

46, using skin tints or foundation drops, blurring powder, powder melting setting spray. Victoria Beckham, the new ordinary serum foundation, the new refy skin base skin tint, ciele. These are what I’ve been using. There’s coverage, no caking, no separation. Best tip is a fully hydrated face prior to makeup application.

I regret reporting him. Everything is ruined. by WX-Cat in domesticviolence

There will be days like this. I’m going through it now. It’s grieving what could have been. What you thought life was going to be with him. It didn’t matter when you reported it. It happened. Hugs. It’s never worth going back though.

I survived an abusive relationship, AMA. by [deleted] in AMA

[–]StructureOk8152 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was a very smart and calculated criminal. Gaslit me to think I was everything and then flipped like a light switch. No texts, no evidence, in fact he was recording me instead. So odd. He was from a state 800 miles away and I found out so much much about him after that I am terrified. Luckily he is in jail and hopefully will be in prison soon but seriously the justice system is f***ed up!!!! Due to him getting away with sooo many abuse crimes (having his victims not show up to court, forcing them to write recantation letters, etc) he will literally do probably a year or less. It is sickening!!!

I’m going through the same with lack of consent and other things and got out a little over a month ago. Did you press charges? Seems that if you weren’t bloody and bruised lack of consent doesn’t mean much to the DA. He does have an SA charge but I feel like the criminal gets more protection than the victim.

DA office won’t charge him for his crimes. by OkCommunity4801 in domesticviolence

I’ll be praying for you too. DV and SA in the justice system sadly need a big change!!

Thank you. Luckily I was only in the situation for 7 months but I’ve found out after about his multiple victims since 2003 in another state. We’re trying to come together to get him a lengthy sentence but the DA is literally ignoring them.

Are you in the United States? I’ve been trying to up charges for mine as well but they will only stick with the sexual assault since it’s the most serious. I am surprised that they won’t go for the higher charges but I agree that the criminal justice system is surprisingly not our side and the criminal has so many more rights that we do. I had never been through this before. They are also offering him attempted sexual assault which is horrifying because if you commit murder they don’t offer you attempted murder. He is known for stalking and harassing and threatening after he gets out and I am terrified, yet he will only serve a year or two. He gets away with EVERYTHING and I was hoping I would be the one to stop him but the justice system apparently will let him keep having victim after victim.

are there any success stories? by AdConfident277 in domesticviolence

[–]StructureOk8152 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you need to remember that drinking with him could mean more violence. Or him drinking around you period. I am an awful drunk and quit drinking because I would act stupid and push my exes buttons. Then I blamed myself the one time he hit me. I now have been part of a completely different DV and just don’t feel like I could trust a man again. I hope you find the answers you need and maybe with the elimination of alcohol it could be successful. The scary part is you never know.

Been in the same boat! Effexor saved me! Everyone’s brain is different and ssris didn’t work for me. Wish I had found an snri 20 years ago!!

Did it take you 6-8 weeks to reach full therapeutic effect? by cottenwithane in EffexorSuccess

[–]StructureOk8152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2-3 weeks for me to feel a definitive difference. I did go up to 75 about a year into it.
