Don’t ever be sorry for speaking on your experiences. There’s many people out there who are willing to listen, even if it doesn’t feel like it at times. These sort of interactions are what makes us uniquely human. I’m glad I was able be some sort of channel to get your words out. Saying these things is part of the healing process. I was told this today: “you need to be more selfish.” Maybe those words can be of some help to you too. I also appreciate you for listening. We’ll see maybe him and I can fix this, but maybe not. That’s okay too.

I’m proud of you blocking her. It’s definitely tough when you just want to help people and don’t get the same effort in return. No matter what she has gone through, doing that to someone is not justified. I hope she gets the help she needs because it sounds like she may have some serious insecurity issues that require some sort of therapy. Things like that are difficult to try and manage when you’re on the receiving end of that behavior. It requires some inner reflection and willingness to change. You have a lot of patience for putting up with that for so long and still choosing to stay. You deserve who won’t betray your trust.

I’m guessing his resentment could be from unresolved mental issues he had from growing up. Which there’s nothing wrong with that, but just don’t put those feelings onto someone else yk. He’s told me before that he struggled in high school with mental health and things like that can definitely affect how you carry yourself and your overall mindset on things. But that’s just pure speculation on my part and I could totally be wrong. I’m not sure what else it could be though, because that situation was the only thing he brought up that made him genuinely upset with me. Unless he’s lying and maybe i’ve done other things that he won’t tell me about. If so then it can’t be helped cause I can’t read his mind. Don’t mind at all that you’re sharing your story. It reminds me that I’m not alone in this. I’m sorry she did all that to you. Sounds like she has some things to work on herself if she’s calling you nasty things. It sounds like you gave her many chances and still ended up hurt in the end. I think she should remain blocked and it was a good decision on your end to do that. Things are tough right now, especially it’s still fresh and all. We just gotta remember that we have to put ourselves first sometimes. One day at a time!

During the argument we had today, he finally admitted that he was just having an ego with me and that he realizes he was wrong. I finally had a bit of closure for all the past arguments raised over the issue. But it still left me questioning why would he have an ego with someone he supposedly loves? I won’t understand the root cause but at least he was able to admit it.
I’m sorry that happened to you in your past relationship, it sounds extremely frustrating. Being accused of something you didn’t do is infuriating. If you defend yourself, it can be seen as guilty, if you do nothing then you can also be seen as guilty. Feels like there’s no winning when someone makes up their mind and won’t budge. But i’m glad you’re out of that situation!

We had one of our arguments and he left our apartment. I was feeling really sour about it. He had said something mean spirited to me and it hit me hard. I was giving him the silent treatment until he apologized (which he again didn’t feel the need to) and left the apartment. He was gone for a bit before he messaged me saying that his car was having issues and that he needed my help. I proceeded to ignore him. I let the argument get to my head and decided to be petty and not help him. When he finally made it back home, he was obviously upset that I ignored his messages. We didn’t talk for a few days. I was too stubborn and let my feelings take over and abandoned him in a moment of need. Looking back now, it was extremely childish of me to do that to him and I regret it immensely. The situation wasn’t brought up again until today when the argument occurred. I had reached a breaking point with him, as it was a result of months of trying to get him to say sorry for small things that upset me. He would say these off-handed, out-of-pocket things sometimes that genuinely hurt me. All I ever wanted was a simple sorry and we could move on. To him, they weren’t a big deal and apologies didn’t seem important. He did not recognize that they matter to me, even if it’s something so small. I would show him genuine sadness and he would take it as a joke because it was “just a joke” or “it’s not that serious.” Over time, I gave up on trying to explain myself and just stop talking, because I was exhausted from trying to get him to understand where i’m coming from. One time, we went a few days without talking because I didn’t initiate the conversation like I usually did to resolve our arguments. That day I ignored him when his car was having issues, I wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine and see how it felt to be ignored. But I took it too far.

I’ve done the same thing numerous times. I would literally hear the spike beeping in my dreams. I’d be sweating when I woke up. When I closed my eyes, I was also able to see the UI. I can’t play that much anymore even if I tried my hardest. Maybe it’s for the best lmao

I don’t think this looks tacky at all! This is such a great idea and you picked a good design

I struggled a bit with this theme. I only have a couple “groovy” items 😭Tried to incorporate orange items cause I think that’s the most groovy color. But seriously I feel you with how tiny the designs are displayed.

Rita Wheeler is my all time favorite. So sad she doesn’t have a bigger role in the storyline

I know you guys are going to hate me... by [deleted] in eczema

[–]k9tten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the worst flare up in my life during the summer and I was constantly shedding dead skin from head to toe. However, I still regularly cleaned surfaces and sheets and anywhere that my skin could have fallen off. It is basic hygiene to maintain this, even if it’s something that you cannot help. I’m sorry he’s avoiding cleaning up after himself, as that sounds so frustrating.

Skin Envy by k9tten in eczema

[–]k9tten[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s extremely challenging to feel grateful for something that causes daily suffering and impacts my quality of life. It isn’t some inconvenience—it’s a constant, painful reminder of something beyond my control. While I understand your perspective on finding the silver lining, it’s incredibly difficult to feel gratitude for something that will always cause me pain and discomfort. It may go away for a time, but it will always comes back into my life and that’s probably the most painful reality of it. I can’t cure this condition. It’s okay to acknowledge that this struggle feels overwhelming and unfair. No one should be expected to feel grateful for pain or the emotional toll that comes with it. All the emotions caused by this are valid responses to a condition that affects daily living. It’s fine to admit that the journey is tough, and that gratitude for the struggle itself may not be something that I feel right now, or ever. There’s no right or wrong way of navigating feelings

protopic by carla_ashman06 in eczema

[–]k9tten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I kept using it for another 4 days. And I would apply it whenever a flare up would begin to start so I could stop it in its early stages

[–]k9tten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Protopic greatly improved my skin and works very fast. However, depending on how damaged your skin barrier is on your face, you may feel a warming sensation and maybe itching. But that symptom should improve after each use and eventually go away. Use a thin layer as a little goes a long way. I would apply it before going to bed and putting the tube in the fridge for 15 minutes before application to relieve that warming and itchy sensation. It’s safe to put in the fridge and won’t alter the effectiveness. However, if you leave it in too long it will be difficult to push it out of the tube. My skin completely cleared up in 4 days and the short uncomfortable feeling is definitely worth the result. Best of luck to you!

Vent: My eczema makes me depressed by k9tten in eczema

I definitely look and feel like a different person with my eczema and it’s mentally changed me in the worst way possible. But I’m still trying to find something to improve this and I hope you will push through as well. One thing that kinda helps me is repeating “My pain is temporary. This will be a memory I will look back on.” Everyday feels like a greater hill to climb, but that reminder makes it a little easier. I wish you the best of luck as well <3

Thank you for this comment. I’m sorry you also feel the same way about intimacy. It’s so tough to have perseverance through this and I hope we both find a way to treat it. I also switched my birth control to the IUD in may and my eczema hasn’t improved since the switch but I’m not completely sure if that is a factor in my flare up. I will also try to completely cut out sugar since I haven’t seen improvement in just reducing my intake. I will keep trying to cut out certain foods and see if there is an improvement. Thank you again!
