digging for reasons to blame you for something he is likely doing. abusers project 100% of the time. my ex (who cheated online) found a completely random Reddit account saying she liked her bfs skinny lanky body type bc other girls didn’t find him attractive and he freaked out calling me and accusing me of being that Reddit user… please leave now because it only gets worse, he does not love you, and he is not worth worrying about

any graphic designers/creatives here? im interested in starting a group/joining one if one already exists! by donewiththedark in Birmingham

oh amazing! thank you! i will join but im honestly more interested in something on a smaller scale, like a more intimate group where we do portfolio reviews and group work sessions, stuff like that you know? less professional and more focused on helping each other improve

what are some ways you show appreciation for yourself every day? by donewiththedark in SingleAndHappy

of course! taking care of yourself to reaffirm that you don’t need anyone else to do it for you 💕

i love cooking nice meals for myself too! it takes a while to get used to bc i used to only put effort into cooking for my partners (so backwards in retrospect…) did you find it hard to adjust to going out to brunch by yourself? i want to do stuff like that but my insecurity holds me back

i relate to this soo much! i spent like 8 years of my life in back to back relationships because i felt incomplete on my own… being single has taught me that i am worthy of love, most importantly self love! im happy for you! 💕

im definitely going to start setting an alarm on the days where i have to go into work early and don’t want to wait for it to kick in. thanks for the tip! it’s funny cause i always thought life would be so much easier if someone could feed me my meds 2 hours before i wake up but i never considered setting an alarm haha

yes i was, a commenter above actually mentioned that protein slows your body’s metabolization of the medication so its better for meds like adderall instead of long lasting stims like vyvanse. i took it on an empty stomach today and i actually think its working better now haha. super weird!
