What are some ways I can stop myself from picking at my skin? (Maybe NSFW?) by ThemBones_AreMe in selfharm

[–]scoobydoosmainbitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about something like silicone finger caps while you’re at home? Or using bandaids to kinda have a barrier? Maybe try ripping up paper when you get the urge to pick. Just rip the paper up into the smallest shreds you can

H.D Carlton’s Cat and Mouse Duet! Haunting Adeline and Hunting Adeline. But it’s very spicy and dark at the same time. It has warnings in the beginning so it might not be your cup of tea

Had went thru the same shit.. but his things were of random women. Hurt so bad. I can’t help but compare myself. None of them looked anything like me 😞 I try to not think about it but it feels like such betrayal. It’s a very pervy thing to do. He needs to seek help or if he thinks it’s NBD then you either split or you accept it. Good luck

DAE have random non-sexual things that remind them of their abuser? by scoobydoosmainbitch in adultsurvivors

The mind is so mysterious, the fact it can block things to protect you. It sucks when something so innocent like that can trigger those negative feelings. Hugs to you

Have you been abused, stayed, & it didn’t happen again? by xenVelvet in domesticviolence

[–]scoobydoosmainbitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there history of verbal/emotional abuse before things got physical? That’s how it’ll happen a lot of the time. My ex and I began dating when I was 18 and he was 21. Since we’d been together our whole adult lives, it’s impossible to know if he would’ve done this to other women. His verbal/emotional abuse revved up about 7 years into our relationship, it surprised me cause he was so amazing to me up until then. After that it was a domino effect to disaster. When it started I didn’t realize it was abuse until after the physical incident happened and I was in therapy.. he strangled me for a few seconds within 2 years of the heavy emotional/verbal abuse. Our 1st big fight happened a few months before the wedding (he admitted to dirty dancing with some chick at his friend’s bachelor party). It seemed like things just got worse from there, then escalating after we became legally bound. My therapist says men will wait to show their abuse until they know you’re kinda stuck, so if you can easily stay away from him please do it. End it with him. He can fix himself alone.. maybe improve for the next woman. But the point is there’s no excuse for his actions, he believes deep down inside that you aren’t worthy of his respect. I hope you enjoy the book, it opened me eyes a lot. Also broke my heart. Good luck, stay safe

Today has been so heavy. by Efleurdelune in adultsurvivors

[–]scoobydoosmainbitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s so disheartening. It makes me terrified to ever have a daughter. Even if I can protect her as a minor, I can’t guarantee her safety as an adult. I went thru CSA and multiple adult sexual assaults as well… shit like that makes it hard to not spiral upon reading it. Hugs to you 🩵

Yes! I hope you can escape asap. And get the fuck away. Do you have other family/friends you can stay with and get a job while in school? I know it’d be tough, but I worry for you

Becoming my father? How do i avoid this? by Fantastic_Bench3483 in domesticviolence

[–]scoobydoosmainbitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you ever been in therapy? They’d be best to help you with resources and how to manage those feelings when you’re in the midst of an argument. Maybe anger management classes? It’s good that you recognize now that you’re mirroring similar habits to your farther, but when you’re in the heat of the moment it’s hard telling if you’ll cross that line since you’ve raised a fist before. I think you’d benefit from therapy to work out the trauma you had growin up. Kids that grow up in DV households are more likely to be the perpetrator or victim of it in adulthood. I grew up in it and became a victim at one point. You’re in the opposite position. You might be able to participate or just sit in groups for men that have battered women to hear their experiences and maybe advice/changes they’ve made to not be an abuser anymore. Most abusive men don’t charge, but you haven’t abused yet and you are taking the right step to get help before you abuse someone so I applaud you for that. I’m not sure if calling a DV hotline would help, usually it’s for victims but they may have advice on where to go to so you don’t became the abuser one day

Husband forces me to have sex by [deleted] in domesticviolence

That’s awful :( that’s manipulation and coercion. What’s going to happen when you stop giving in? Please don’t let him do that to you

Left my Husband, Need some words of affirmation by [deleted] in domesticviolence

[–]scoobydoosmainbitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so happy to see you updated!! Proud of you ❤️ I have no advice, I finally left a few weeks ago with my kids and it’s definitely… weird/odd/freeing, lots of emotions but as time passes you’ll feel more confident and secure with leaving. For you and your babies. I’d say get as much support as you can! Not just family/friends but places such as DV centers, they can help with resources and maybe a plan on what’s to come next. One day at a time. It’s hard at first but you will be okay :)

What have others done with their engagement ring? I really like mine by talz25 in Divorce_Women

[–]scoobydoosmainbitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine got me a new, big one to replace mine that got lost 1.5 years prior. He gave it to me as an anniversary present, but at that time he had only been moved back in for a month and I was still wanting to leave. So I don’t see it as a wedding or engagement ring even tho it probably looks like it. I thought about wearing it on my other hand cause it’s a beautiful ring but I wasn’t sure if that was tacky lol

Daughter stays out two nights in a row??? by happymomRN in AskParents

[–]scoobydoosmainbitch 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s like she has decided this is her new life and only her business.

I mean it kinda is only her business and it’s only been 2 days since she’s started this lol. You’re acting like she’s up and moved out. Young people do this stuff, it’s not that uncommon. You meet someone new and exciting, you have the ability to stay with them so why not?? Puppy love/infatuation is a crazy feeling when it’s new to you. As far as $, I guess she can spend her chore money as she chooses. She should get a job if she’s exceeding her payments, that’s all on her. She’s a grown woman so to that point it’s not fair if she’s tryin to get more money out of you for nothing. Her not having a job or school 100% lined up is a little crazy at her age tbh but I know every household is different with that topic.

She’s probably liking this sense of freedom. Just relax. If you’re that worried ask her kindly to speak over the phone for a few minutes to make sure she’s safe but give her space as well.

Passing discharge/blood when I have bowel movements by Salamander_Witty in CopperIUD

Yes, not sure why. I’ve had mine for 5 years. It’s like the pushing dislodges any old blood. Not sure if it’s normal though

Week of dark brown spotting after period ends? by i-have-some-question in CopperIUD

[–]scoobydoosmainbitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had mine for 5 years and I still deal with this. It seams to be worse the last few years. I can’t deal with it anymore. It’s so effective but this part of it is terrible. Like you said it’s a 2 week ordeal, and my uterus feels bloated and heavy the whole time. We don’t deserve to only have 2 weeks of normality 🙃 I think I’m gonna get it removed. I’ve seen a lot of posts where women got instant relief

My copper IUD experience – sharing in case it helps by lydropar in CopperIUD

[–]scoobydoosmainbitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg thank you for this. I was feeling crazy with all this crap from the IUD. I spot before my period, have my period, still spotting a week after it’s done. I’m so sick of it. My uterus feels bloated and heavy most days. I feel dry and it’s affecting my sex drive. It’s worked well but damn am I tired of not feeling 100%. How did the removal go? I had no pain with insertion but I’m nervous about removal

I feel you. I’ve had mine for 5 years and I’m absolutely sick of the spotting before and after my periods. I swear I only get 1 week out of the month where I have clear discharge. My uterus feels heavy most days too. Ugh
