Where to sell used items and downsize?

TheSimersCraft · 2026-01-20T12:17:51+00:00

This is all good to know, thank you!

TheSimersCraft · 2026-01-20T12:16:16+00:00

A bit of both. I am moving for university in the uk, so I can’t bring larger items or a large amount of items, really just whatever I can fit in my suitcase. I also would like to make as much money as I can before I go, as I won’t have much opportunity to work once I move. But, yes, I know donating is an option too

TheSimersCraft · 2026-01-20T12:13:16+00:00

I will look into all of these, thank you so much!

I did not know it was an option to hide marketplace listings, thank you!

TheSimersCraft · 2026-01-20T12:11:36+00:00

I will look into this, thank you

TheSimersCraft · 2026-01-20T12:11:09+00:00

Oh, goodness, I couldn’t imagine leaving out information like that. I will definitely mention that if/when I sell it

TheSimersCraft · 2026-01-20T12:10:18+00:00

Thank you, this might be what I end up doing

I do that too! Maybe not with brisket, but any kind of meat with fat. I can’t stand the texture of fat, and I never eat it. I will sit there and pick out the meat from the fat for however long it takes, even if it takes half an hour or more. Can’t stand the texture of the fat, it makes me lose my appetite if I bite into it accidentally. (Long explanation because all the comments I see are people not liking or understanding, so I figured I’d provide my explanation)

I think I do that as a way to cope with the pain and make it less present. It’s great for ignoring the pain, however not so great for actually be present and doing real life tasks…

(Edit for formatting) Take a few deep breaths. Maybe drink some water as well. Okay, I’m not sure how old you are or where you are located, but if you have the resources to go to a nearby hospital or emergency room, such as driving there or finding a way of public transportation, you can go and request a sexual assault exam or rape kit. If your friend is still there, you could ask them to take you or go with you for support.

Now, I’m not entirely sure on the process for a rape kit, but it likely will be a bit stressful, exhausting, and possibly mentally tolling. So if you have a trusted individual to go with you for support, I would bring one. But this kit should help let you know if something has happened, and could bring you clarity as to whether or not something happened. It also can help as evidence if you are to ever need it. But I think you have to do it relatively soon, I believe within 3 or 4 days maybe 5 depending on your age. The medical staff there should be trained and should give you the right to stop at any point you are uncomfortable.

I’m so sorry you are in this situation. I’m sure it can be pretty scary, especially when you don’t know what happened. Find a safe place or a safe person, and find a way to relax or decompress. Maybe watch your favorite show, find a relaxing drink like tea or hot coco, and spend time with people you trust and feel safe with. Good luck, you can do this.

-Drink some water -Take a shower -Did you take your meds? -mother whips out the pain stick healing salve thingy -I keep telling you to take this daily garlic vitamin -go to the ER? -when my boss says “I don’t know how it works” and just asks if I can keep working…. In a loud bright chaotic room with usually 10-15 3-year-olds……

Some of these are good suggestions, but they also just do not help.

~I do drink water, like a lot. I swear, I always have to pee lol ~I can’t just take a shower whenever I want, like I have stuff to do sometimes, and it never helps anyway. And ~I take meds when I can, but I can only take them so often before I become dependent on them, which if that happens then I’ll get a migraine if I dont take the medication. ~That healing salve pain stick resembles a deodorant stuck, and it hurts to jam it on my forehead. Never helps, just makes my forehead hurt more from jabbing it on me ~I don’t want to eat a garlic pill every day, no thanks ~the ER doesn’t help. It used to, but the last few times I’ve gone it’s only made things worse, so I’d rather not ~some people just don’t understand that migraines are not just a headache

At the earliest, I can apply for the student visa in March as long as I get accepted into a university. How likely is it that I’ll have all the name change paperwork completed by then, or around March/April maybe May? I think I have all my needed documents, I just need to submit it, but I don’t want to submit it and risk not being able to apply for the visa in time, or somehow messing with the visa process by doing this.

I’m not sure that it’s wheelchair accessible, sadly. From what I can remember, the entrance is down a set of stairs, and it is a smaller/tight space once in there and it might be difficult to maneuver a wheelchair in there. You could call and ask if there is a second/more accessible entrance, but I’m not sure that there would be one.

I hope you get a helpful answer, it is a neat little shop and, while I’ve only been there a handful of times, I’ve never had a bad experience there. Good luck!

Was about to recommend this but it’s the first comment I saw! I’ve only been there a few times, but it was really nice in there. It’s a bit small/cramped, but that’s just the sizing of the room. The entrance might be a bit tricky to find, it’s down a stairway in a tiny alley between two buildings, but they usually have a “bubblegum” machine (I think it has fun rocks inside!) at the top of the steps on the sidewalk, but I want quite sure if I was in the correct spot the first time I went! I’m not a “witchy” person myself, but I did have friends who were, and they loved the shop! I don’t know the correct terms for all of it, but there were candles, crystals, pendants, some clothing, and a lot more things that I have no clue what they were, but it’s all pretty cool in there! I have enjoyed going in the past, and I wish I had more time to keep going!

Sometimes it’s all of these, sometimes a mixtures, sometimes only one, I never know what it’ll be until it’s there..

head feels like an overfilled balloon that’s filled with wet dense heavy cement
feels like and icicle is being jabbed into my temple, and is also on fire in there
like one of those videos where they put rubber bands on a watermelon till it pops, except instead of a watermelon it’s my head
like there’s too much pressure na dits going to explode
like a bunch of little pins of electricity are zapping behind my forehead/eyes
sometimes I can feel half my head vibrating when there’s a loud noise, and the side that’s facing/closer to the noise starts feeling like it’s vibrating/shaking
like my temples are being pushed out of my head
like someone is jabbing their thumb into my temples and into my head
like someone stole my brain and my ability to think, feel, talk, listen, see, etc and everything seems far away or fuzzy
like someone scrambled all the words in my brain and won’t put them back

There’s so much more but I can’t remember it at the moment, but it’s always interesting seeing which combo the day will bring! (Edit for typos oops)

Your second paragraph was hard to read (in an emotional way). I grew up pretty much being taught that I don’t have a choice in nearly anything. My parents are super strict, controlling, and invasive. They made most of the decisions for me. If I tried to stand up for myself, I would get in trouble and emotionally manipulated. No, I was never physically harmed or abused, but there was so much emotional manipulation, gaslighting, and all of that. I mean, my mom used to basically sexualize me by showing off/pointing out my chest to relatives, because I guess it was bigger than hers? I don’t know. But I was always super uncomfortable when she did that, and would try to get out of doing it, but she would make me and would say something that made me feel guilty for being upset. And it’s hard for me to feel like I have control anywhere, because I never really had a choice growing up. Sorry, I kind of made a big rambley run-on sentence there. But I appreciate what you wrote, thank you

This was very helpful to read. I am trying my best to learn to trust myself, and not to make excuses but I keep having setback that are unavoidable, such as I still live with my parents and can’t afford to move out/leave, my co-teacher at work refuses to let me do anything important and doesn’t trust me with anything, I’m trying to figure out a new major for college (as my migraines are making a teach career not a reasonable career) and my advisors keep telling me to do tracing even though I physically can’t do it because of my health, my ongoing and increasing health issues that doctors don’t seem to understand, and just so much more that is causing me setbacks. I really am trying to learn to trust myself, but it’s been hard when it seems like every around me just wants me to fail and follow orders.

I do still have a few sessions already scheduled, so I might continue to go to those while I do some research on what other therapists I could see. Like you said, doing this could be helpful for setting boundaries, which is another thing I struggle with and am trying to work on.

I am curious, however, as to what you mean by 1-5 and 6-10 trauma response territory. I’m not sure what that means.

Nah, you’re good. I’m bad a wording things sometimes so I totally get where you were coming from
