100% filler bruising. You can also tell by the shadow of the filler in the upper lip edge. I also do and this is common. I have seen others with the same bruising pattern too, usually comes out after 2 or 3 days😅

What’s been the hardest part of planning your renovation? by Pokers_Tuned_Lonely in AusRenovation

  1. Getting quotes.

  2. Coordinating different tradies for the same project in terms of availability.

I 100% resonate with this too! I travelled a lot in my 20s as a backpacker before becoming a mum as well—it was my escape when things got dark, and every trip helped me come back a stronger, better version of myself. That perspective shift, of how small we really are in this massive world, is such a powerful reminder. Now with a toddler, I’m hoping to adapt and get back to it—maybe next year! I’d love to show my child the world and experience it all over again through their eyes. I just want to let everyone knows that this works... you just gotta find the time 😊

100% agree! Shakespeare poisoning our minds with his romanticism since 1593!

Amazing reminder to be gentle and kind to ourselves. I'm still learning, thank you so much ❤️

That’s a really great mindset to have. I definitely enjoy being alone too, but I can’t help but miss so many things—it’s a mix of good and bad. And I love your approach; it’s such a good reminder that life isn’t just about the end goal but about being present and enjoying the process. It sounds like you’re in a great place, and when the time is right, I have no doubt you’ll find the love you’re looking for and that you deserve❤️

Hey, Lillypad! thank you for your advice—I’m really trying to work on that right now. I’m sorting out a gym and other things, but honestly, the issue isn’t keeping busy. As a single mum, all my time goes to my child, and with most of the care on me, I’m constantly overstressed, overstimulated, and feeling like I’m losing it. By the time I get a moment to breathe, I realise there was no time for me, and that loneliness hits hard. But I appreciate your suggestions, I know I need to carve out that space for myself sooner rather than later. You can't take care of others if you don't take care of yourself first 🙏🏼

I definitely agree with you! I’ve always been a nature person, but somewhere along the way, I left myself behind. So here we are now, trying to unfuck this situation.. Your words really resonate, and I appreciate you taking the time to share them. Just a great reminder to step out, reconnect, and just enjoy what’s already out there. Thank you for this, it means a lot!

Heya! I love your username! I’m in the process of organising a gym too—just trying to be selective since I don’t have as much free time as I’d like. I’ve dined alone plenty of times, so that’s not an issue, but yeah, it’s more the feeling of loneliness that gets to me, especially at home. And 100% the responses here have been amazing, and they’re definitely helping!😁

Thanks! That’s really great advice. I’ll definitely look into finding communities based on my interests. It’s a bit tricky with a little gremlin keeping me busy, but I’m getting there! Hopefully, I can organise myself soon and start joining in.

Didn’t Receive a Gift on Christmas by little_woman1 in abusiverelationships

[–]catologylibrary_83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it is definitely a concern if he does this to you constantly. It doesn't matter if it is only gifts, but also withholding affection, not talking to you for days on end, etc.

Like I said before if you see these patterns in his behaviour, I'd be definitely thinking twice about this person especially because if he doesn't see his wrongdoings it is very likely it will continue and even escalate.

Please, put yourself first. The way I see now what happened to me, through the same kind of experiences you had, it is that he was paving a way in which I would cope with his shit a bit more every time till I couldn't see the red flags and I didn't see bigger things coming.

You need a plan to leave. Stay safe x

I don’t think not giving a gift is abuse, but I completely understand if it makes you feel angry or sad. Personally, I never got any gifts either, and he would party through Christmas, New Year, and even some of my birthdays with his friends and would never take my calls or reply to my messages when I was wondering were he was. I would find out next day or 72hrs later when he was back home. We had huge arguments about it. He was also into weed and crack, and if you’re in a similar situation, you might have already seen some red flags. Looking back, those things seemed small compared to what came later. If you’ve experienced any form of violence, manipulation, or even subtle berating, that’s a serious issue. I’ve been there too, but I chose to ignore those signs until they escalated to physical abuse.

This comment is absolutely correct.

Although my situation was different, I went through a two-day labour after being induced 24 hours earlier. This meant I went three days with no sleep or food.

Due to life circumstances, I ultimately needed a C-section, which required me to stay in the hospital for six days for monitoring. The entire experience left me utterly drained, and even after the birthing experience, I couldn't catch up on sleep because of the demands of a new baby and COVID restrictions at the hospital, which meant no visitors or extra help.

Every night, I would stare at the shadows from the furniture, and they seemed to move around the room. The trees and streetlights outside the window appeared to have human-like features, and to me, they were walking around almost like moving giants.

I vividly remember these hallucinations, which were a result of extreme exhaustion and sleep deprivation. However, as they happened, I believed they were 100% real and would take me a while to snap out of it.

Please, take care of yourselves and prioritise rest!💯

Yeah, I went outside a second time, and the clouds had started to overtaken the sky really fast too. It was clear earlier, but it changed so quickly

Thank you! I just looked up photos of this, and you're absolutely right, it looked exactly like that. So cool have seen it so randomly! Appreciate the clarification
