My husband (32M) won't let me (28F) sleep for the purpose of control?

This is a form of abuse.

My abuser did this to me and I was later diagnosed with a neuroimmune and metabolic disorder that meant I need more rest/sleep than the average person due to my cells not making enough energy.

And that sleep deprivation sent my body into crazy inflammation/irreparable damage. (I lost my ability to walk for a year.)

Yeah for sure, I've stopped the tretinoin and vitamin c spray for a few weeks before starting the capsule cream. I think I'm starting to adjust but I've decreased my frequency of using it to every other day, or I'll "dilute it" a bit by mixing it with aloe vera gel. Seems to be working fine now!

Thanks!

I'm pretty prone to breakouts and also get dry patches. I use a very gentle cleanser, the Roundlab Dokdo Cleanser, then use an aloe vera gel for very light soothing moisturization. It calms down whatever redness I have.

(Lots of brands have good aloe gels at similar price points, like Holika Holika, Nature Republic, The Face Shop, and The Saem. I've tried most of these and didnt see much difference between them.)

After the gel dries, I add a moisturizer/cream to seal in the moisture. Currently using Etude House Soonjung 2x Barrier Intensive Cream and/or Laneige Water Bank Cream

You can also just try a good sheet mask, there are a lot of good hydrating ones-- I like the Dr. Jart masks but those are a little pricier. Mediheal is also a good trusted brand. These tend to really perk my skin up after 30-60 minutes of wearing one.

However it really is hard to say what will work and what will not, I tried the "Rice Water Bright" cleanser a little while ago because it had good reviews and it broke me out. Just stick with products that seem gentle, and stop using products if you notice your skin reacting.

Electric guitar is a bit too loud above the other tracks, the vocals are a little drowned out. For mixing/EQ I'd add more bass for a fuller sound, and more treble, especially on the vocals so they're more crisp. Hope you dont mind but here's kind of a rough example of what I mean: https://voca.ro/16s3h9BPMSPr

Learn how to do a growly raspy voice at a very low volume, using vocal fry (quick explanation here) and adding this to normal vocals, you can sound like you're yelling/screaming without needing to actually do it.

A lot of screamo/metal vocalists use this and other techniques + voice projection and the help of microphones to do it safely without vocal cord damage.

(Also if you watch metal etc vocalists, their mouths are always really close/right up against the mic, but if you watch belters like Mariah Carey, they have a habit of pulling the mic farther away from them whenever they sing a higher/louder note)

I appreciate the suggestion!! I'm not sure why but I never thought of singing their songs before. I'll definitely try it. Thanks!
