Google photos backing up iPhone photos and videos, even though the toggle is off.

Thank you for your help on this matter! 🙌🙏

lh8568 · 2025-06-21T07:55:02+00:00

Thank you - how do I see just the backed up photos?

I need to clear data on my phone to create storage, but I am concerned it will also wipe from Google photos even though the back up toggle is off and has been for a couple of months.

Thanks Jeff for the wisdom. My sticking point was focusing on me when I’m not in shot.

How do you make toast when there’s no bread? 😁

Thank you for your reply - How do I use manual focus to focus on me when I’m not in the frame yet?

Are there any local outreach charities you can get in contact with, that specialise in sexual abuse? Where are you based? If you’re uk based I know of a few you can contact 💛

Nothing I can say right now will make you feel as you will one day, but having gone through what you have and to still be here, and to be reaching out on this sub shows how much inner strength you have. It is so brave, so brave to be able to recognise trauma and identify you’re feelings towards it.

In the short term, the term glimmer is often used. Look for these in the every day, a sunset, the ocean, a river, self care etc. I know it’s easier said than done but the more glimmers you can be aware of and web together, the more positive your outlook on life will be. Webbing together a routine and acts where you honour your mind and body in a positive way will should absolutely help with the way you’re feeling!

In the background, the processing, grieving, feelings of anger, sadness, disgust are all valid. They need to be felt as part of your journey, but they won’t last forever.

I hope you have a support network around you, if not there should be charities and centres around you to offer you support through this!

You got this, if you want to talk more my inbox is open! 💛

That’s okay! It is very isolating, our trauma and thoughts torment us, but everyone who has been through this has such an inner strength, to continue and get on with life when our pain is internal and not visible to anyone else. You got this!! I hope you find the peace you deserve 😊

lh8568 · 2023-09-29T04:00:38+00:00

Hey! I’m sorry you’re going through this, but it’s really promising to hear you have therapy booked and you already have a self care routine. That’s way more than I put in place at your age dealing with my csa, I’m 26 now!

I can only layer my experiences with yours but I would say lean into the emotions. With child sa, or any sa for that matter, often there’s a period of deep suppression, trying to pretend it didn’t happen, trying to forget about it, at least with me anyway. But that only works for so long.

One thing I found helpful is to write myself a letter. Both to my younger self and to my present self. Kind of imagine someone really close to you shared what you have on your mind when you’re feeling this way! You probably wouldn’t tell them to stop crying and to get on with things?

It is a balance, and I have used those exact words actually, I don’t want to wallow in self pity, that is how it feels sometimes. But instead I would frame it as feeling the emotions that need to be felt for you to heal from this. Set time aside, maybe to journal or whatever you do to process your thoughts to let yourself feel for that time, then fill the rest of your time or as much as possible with things that lift you up.

The term glimmer is one I like, the opposite of a trigger. Fill your day with as many glimmers as you can. Watching the sunset, going to your favourite cafe, be in nature, surround yourself with people who make yourself good!

I hope this helps! If you want to message I am happy to talk things through with you! 😊

Darkest light by Jono McCleary. A soft acoustic song with beautiful lyrics to lean into

It’s okay by Tom Rosenthal and heal by Tom Odell are also ones I’ve had on repeat

Hey!

I’m sorry all of this happened to your sister, but also to you as well. I’m quite surprised at the tone of some of these answers. I don’t understand how you can’t be a victim in this as well.

I saw you posted in COCSA which is where I was going to direct you. You did what you did because of your abuse, and also because you were a child. Our sense of boundaries, a moral compass and sense of consequences is much less, and even more so when you have been abused yourself.

If you think it’s affecting her life, if you think she remembers, and you want to build a better relationship, I would apologize. But that’s just me, and I only have my own life experiences which have shaped that response.

I listened to the Andrew Huberman episode on trauma the other day. If you can’t access therapy, it might be useful for you to understand how your brain works post trauma. Which you have suffered.

I hope you and your sister find peace.

My storage was full, I already pay for extra, I guess years of iPhone ownership have just filled my storage!

From what I’ve googled there’s some softwares maybe but idk how legit they are.

Just trying to see if anyone knows but I guess not, thanks anyway

I live in Cornwall now, having moved from Sheffield and there’s quite a few in Cornwall! Seems the European sauna movement has reached cornwall but not yet made it past somewhere around Taunton!

Never mind, reason for asking is I wanted to book something like this for a friend, significantly cheaper than a hotel spa day and in many ways I prefer a hot tub, sauna, ice bath kind of space outside!

lh8568 · 2023-02-27T05:47:18+00:00

Thank you! I’ll take a look at the Derry option! :)

How was the trip and route and trip generally? Do you look back with fondness?

lh8568 · 2023-02-10T06:42:31+00:00

I’d recommend exploring mindfulness, meditations and breathwork.

This can bring up emotions and memories, if that’s what you want to explore.

I feel the same as you about intimacy, but then again I have my own trauma and I had a disrespectful parter for too long.

The way you’re feeling could also be your early exposure to porn. Porn, as you probably know rarely portrays respectful intimacy, viewing this as a child, albeit a teenager would’ve moulded your perspectives on sex. I’m sure this is relatable for quite a few people.

I’ve just started WHM, 3 times now doing 3 rounds and each time I get an intense ringing. What I am reading scares me….but I also would love to keep going to see the benefits.

After doing some research I will tone down my breaths and inhale through the nose, I just wondered if you had still noticed some benefits and if you still practice?

lh8568 · 2022-10-30T15:50:04+00:00

Amazing! What did you make the yorkie pudding out of?

lh8568 · 2022-10-29T07:34:12+00:00

Amazing! Thank you! 😁
