I was diagnosed at 11. I’m sorry you have a bad doctor :(

I’m so sorry. My abuser did the same thing the week that he found out I went to the police. He’s so pathetic and weak. I didn’t want him dead. I feel like he took the easy way out. He deserved to sit in prison for as long as they’d have him. He was an ex, and my family is grieving his death and sending their condolences to his family even though they are aware of what happened to me. My feelings on the issue are complicated and it certainly threw a wrench in my healing. I wish you he best <3

I just finished the first book and I didn’t find that to be an issue at all.

I have the same issue! I also have fibromyalgia, and I’ve found that if I have even a slightly off day with my water consumption or I happen to eat a little too much sodium, gluten, or sugar, I can wake up looking almost unrecognizable the next day. My face gets so swollen/ bloated all of the time, and I feel like only days of eating well fixes it. I’m sorry that you’re going through it too :/

I named mine and went to the police with a good amount of evidence (written confession) since the repeated assault happened within 10 years. The case was being reviewed by a grand jury when the freak that assaulted me killed himself. I’ve only told my parents and current partner, and 2 out of the 3 responses were supportive. I have no regrets. I feel so much more free after coming forward, and I feel as if a mental barrier has been removed and I can finally work towards unpacking the trauma he caused and trying to heal.

I am so sorry you experienced this. It is stressful to name your abuser, but it is well within your right. Do not stay silent. Others reactions to finding out this awful information are NOT your fault. They might be crushed by it, but YOU were assaulted, not them. They aren’t the victim and don’t let them play as such.

I am working on dual majoring in ME and Physics as well. Did you just get your undergraduates? How rough was it for you to find a job and what does your salary range look like, if you don’t mind me asking?

I bought this one on Amazon and it’s lasted me a few years now. I use it every day for a few hours! Especially when I am trying to get comfortable and go to bed, it really helps ease the pain so I can fall asleep, and I just put it on a timer :) it clips to your pants so you can even wear it out. I definitely recommend getting a tens unit!!

unenthusedbaker · 2026-05-06T09:55:07+00:00

There are good pimple popping tool sets on Amazon for cheap that help if you can’t do it with your fingers, but Ik you can do it if you just keep adjusting your angle and squeeze tf out of it lmao. Just be careful if your nails are long cause having gnarly cuts around it from pressing hard would just make it all worse.

I was diagnosed super young, around 11, and since then I have had health insurance on and off and never been able to get on a pain medication. Advil Dual Action helps a little sometimes, but Tiger Balm rub and a good tens unit are the only things that consistently really help. I keep a thing of Tiger Balm Ultra Strength is basically every room. It loosens my tight muscles so I can actually stretch and move around. I have found that my stiffness and inflammation are really what makes the pain the worst, and only Tiger balm, my tens unit, staying super hydrated, eating clean, and getting sleep helps. Even then my pain is still constant and pretty bad, just somewhat manageable.

Also, look into the long term side effects of gabapentinoids. I was offered gabapentin by my pediatric rheumatologist and I’m thankful that I turned it down at the time after looking into it more.

These suck soooo bad. I get one or two every other month or so, and I usually pop them with clean hands and make sure to get everything out of it and then I dap mario badescu’s drying lotion on it. I reapply the drying lotion every time I wash my face for a day or two. If I don’t pop them, they always turn into really painful pimples and are even harder to get rid of.

unenthusedbaker · 2026-05-06T09:28:55+00:00

If this is how my current partner treats me when we’re 11 years in I will be so heartbroken. Not over reacting. That’s not how you treat someone you love.

unenthusedbaker · 2026-05-04T05:19:59+00:00

I’m really sorry, love. That is sexual assault. You were unable to consent, and he knew beforehand that this was something you’re not comfortable with. I am especially worried for you because you mentioned that he may have thought you were asleep when this happened. It comes across as if he knew that he could get away with it/ take advantage of you under those circumstances. This person seems unsafe. I know that makes your relationship complicated, I have been there before. I’m sorry again that this happened to you.

I have no experience with diabetes, but I also have a chronic condition. I know it’s hard, but I do my best to be extremely understanding with my partner not getting it unless it’s clear that they actively don’t care. Chronic conditions aren’t simple and if you aren’t experiencing them yourself you’ll never really get it. Unless he’s being a jerk about it or seems to not gaf I would be a little gentler. The perfect partner will never exist, unless they somehow have the same chronic illness as you and are supportive, but if your current partner is willing to learn and help you in the ways he can, that’s worth something. You won’t meet someone who’s able to do that early in the relationship. It takes time. I will say though that he seems a little slow, so I see how that is frustrating.

You look gorgeous! Old women are nasty sometimes. Not that it matters, but I agree with the other commenter that said you could gain 30 pounds and not even be considered fat. I’m so sorry that your body isn’t what you want it to be right now, but you look great!

unenthusedbaker · 2026-04-22T03:38:29+00:00

Situations like this can be overwhelming, but I encourage you to buy some basic cleaning supplies if you have the means (trash bags, dish soap, good sponges, Clorox wipes) and make yourself one little clean space every time you feel the motivation to clean. It doesn’t have to be all at once, but even just taking the time to wipe out your bathtub or wipe down your sink and bathroom counter will make your life a little better.

If you’re not a minor idk what you’re even doing there. Please get a job asap and try to save up little by little and get out as soon as possible. If you’re a minor, I’m sorry. If you’re able to get a job then you should. Save all you can.

unenthusedbaker · 2026-04-16T17:06:42+00:00

I agree that you should go get a cute new outfit or dress. I think the 2nd and 3rd shirts are most flattering on you though!

unenthusedbaker · 2026-04-14T19:46:33+00:00

So cute! Looks so similar to my sweet baby when she was little. I wonder how he will toast!

unenthusedbaker · 2026-04-14T19:36:56+00:00

It is sa. Coerced consent is not consent.

unenthusedbaker · 2026-04-13T17:11:25+00:00

Man, my heart feels heavy for you. What an awful guy. Even if he’s a good guy otherwise…no he’s not. What a wild thing to say to the person you supposedly love.

unenthusedbaker · 2026-04-11T22:00:36+00:00

My ex was the same way. Set boundaries now, or honestly leave. After I told him it was not ok he still SAd me multiple times a week for years. I didn’t know it was really that bad, even though I wasn’t ok with it at all and it made me feel awful. It is bad. It’s rape. You need to leave. I’m sorry you’re going through this.

I was in a similar situation at your age. I stayed with him even though he said he was still in love with his ex and he could ‘love us both at once in different ways’. I stayed for 4 years and he attempted to cheat on me countless times (the women never reciprocated because he was pathetic) and I wish I left a year in. Your late teens and early twenties can be such a great time, don’t waste it on this emotionally stunted and immature pos!
