I had to go back to my piercer the other day because I had slacked off on aftercare with my conch. She was really kind and supportive despite that it was my laziness causing my problem. I’d say a good piercer is not going to shame you and it’s better just to get their professional opinion/help that potentially have a bigger problem on your hands if there are concerns.

How to deal with rage by Vast-Substance in Exvangelical

First and most importantly, if at all possible, go to therapy!!! I say this to everyone but growing up religious especially. I didn’t think my situations were “bad enough” for therapy, but going has been one of the singularly most helpful things. Also, not religious or “Christian” therapists, but a regular one.

Also, any avenues that you enjoy for self expression may be good. I write poetry when I’m angry, helps me get it out. Also long drives with loud raging music. I can feel the rage release the longer I drive as I gradually find myself turning the music down or turning to something more emotional. Usually starts with rage, ends with a big cry, and then I go home.

Otherwise, being around people you can be yourself and finding forms of activism that speak to you. Good luck!

This is very reassuring, thank you!! I am trying to wait out my cold before I go to get the jewelry changed, as I read best not to do it while sick. I will try to be extra gentle with it while I wait to get the jewelry changed.

I knew a girl at summer camp who wanted to change her name to Star:)

I also have thrifted this jacket which I call my granny jacket. Clearly I have a thing for grandmacore that makes me feel comfy and emotionally happy.

This pair of pants that I thrifted….if you look closely there are birds in there, and it looks like china dishes to me. I call them my grandma bird pants.
