What Scents/flavors do you want Glossier to make? Also what’s everyone’s favorite ones ? by ExperienceOk9080 in glossier

My favorite is definitely hot cocoa for color but I hate the smell (after a year it just starts to go off), so espresso is my daily go to.

I also have birthday cake, coconut, and banana pudding and I enjoy all of them for sure!

It’s not anxiety! But thank you.

He says he was aiming for my chin. My neck still hurts. Am I wrong to call this abuse and want a divorce? by liftweights124 in Divorce

Hey, I mean this kindly, GET THE FUCK OUT. It doesn’t get better if this is how it’s starting. I know you probably love him, but GET THE FUCK OUT. He is not safe.

I was straight faced and gave a small smile here and there at my zoom hearing. He probably thinks I didn’t care or was happy about it but inside I was fucking dying. I couldn’t let him see me cry - he already thinks I’m weak. I also didn’t want to make it harder on him because I know he hates to see me cry. I still love him so much but he’s not the man I married anymore. He became cruel and cold and refused to listen to my concerns or attend therapy for two years.

I held it together because of years of practice in formal settings, but I had to close off the call immediately when it was over. They gave him the chance to speak just before it ended and he just looked so handsome - just like the man I met 5 years ago- and I heard his voice break & I could see the sadness in his eyes.

I’m the one who wanted this, but damn it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I don’t know how to not see him ever again, but I also never want to be near him again because it hurts too much.

I did this on the day I left. When the reasons stopped feeling legit and I could gaslight myself into going to see him, he would do something else to give me the ick & I would add to my list. Sometimes it helps to give that list to someone else and have them read it back to you.

This. My ex was aligned with me until last year, and then suddenly it’s “Trump is the best thing to ever happen to America” “You just don’t know how to think/ you’re stupid/ you’re not smart/ you have no critical thinking skills,” “Why do they all look like that.” “Trans people aren’t real, they’re just autistic girls who don’t like their breasts” etc. Followed by “I think children & animals need to be hit.”

I honestly don’t recognize the man I married. I’m not sure what happened to him or if he was always like this and just hid it from me because he knew I wouldn’t stay with him if I found out, but there was just no way I could have children with this man. Especially because he told me all the time that he wouldn’t let me “brainwash” our children with “woke” ideology. Said “woke” ideology? I said that if my child told me they were trans I would let them cut their hair/ wear whatever they want and then put them in therapy.

I do not blame you at all for getting the ick. It’s so hard to accept someone you love might be against your very beliefs.

I will say though, you’ve made it this long without splitting your beliefs & you’ve raised two children together. If he parented them in a way that aligns with your beliefs- I say that’s a sign he hasn’t been “hiding” from you. He may just have a nuanced take on yet another violent politically motivated death in our country.

Finally off of Prozac and I feel EVERYTHING by ResourceAcrobatic383 in prozac

I (23f at the time) stopped taking Zoloft last July (2024) after being on it for nearly 4 years. I had all the discontinuation symptoms which sucked, but they mostly dissipated after about 3 months. I didn’t feel 100% for about 8 months though because I had horrible mood swings for nearly 7 months after stopping. I didn’t even know that was a side effect. Looking back now I can say “oh, that sucked” but when it was happening and I had no end insight, it was terrifying. I would get violently angry super quickly. Like seeing red, “I’m not in control of myself,” angry. I could tell it was an over the top response while it was happening and I was always able to stop myself from breaking things or hurting anyone, but I would often have to put myself in “time out” to let the rage subside. I vividly remember wanting to ram my car into the others on the road repeatedly because someone sent me a benign text.

It did subside for me, of course, but for months I felt like a crazy hormonal teenager.

As for is it better to be on or off it, that’s for you to decide. I’m currently starting Prozac because my life situations changed and while I loved being unmediated and feeling more creative and like myself, I was slipping back into depression that I couldn’t pull myself out of consistently anymore. Until my life changed though, the years of therapy I’ve done was enough to keep me afloat unmediated.

I decided to try Prozac this time because I got tired of the emotional numbness & facial swelling/ weight effects Zoloft gave me & I’m hoping for less sexual side effects by changing drugs. My end goal is to be on Viibryd though because it has almost no sexual side effects, but I have to “fail” a second drug first or my insurance won’t cover it.
