I am doing it.

I have started the process of the lengthy, legal process of going after the state for my abusive childhood and the loss of income.

I am turning 50 in a few days. I am sitting here feeling scared, proud, worried, but determined. It took me 30 years to go no contact, and I never told anyone what happened in that house as a child, except my therapists and a few close friends.

What happened ruined my life in so many ways, I managed to get a higher degree and worked in a very high paid job when I suddenly got an acute mental health crisis that lasted 6 years. DID, PNES, C-PTSD, SH and psychosis and endless hospitalizations. And now I am on welfare.

So.

I was looking at my picture of my brother that took his own life years ago, and I felt this powerful feeling in my chest and and I told him "I am fucking going to do this for you too, it's for both of us"

No more hiding, no more protecting someone who deserves nothing but punishment, If I win I will get not only a financial solution to a very hard life situation but I will win my life back, I will end the cycle of being stepped on and just taking it. I'm done. I'm on a warpath and I will stop at nothing to take my abusers down.

I just really needed to share that with someone who knows how hard this is, how hard it will be, but I know many people in here will support me.

Thank you if you read of of this, and I wish nothing but the best for you all.

I am very hourglass shaped, I have a _very_ curved back that makes most dresses to big in the back, and a balloon-like belly due to some meds and a very rounded butt, I only wear dresses and I can wear stretchy pencil skirts, but I desperately want a flared skirt. But those _always_ just ride up and the band end up under my boobs not around my hips. I don't want to pay the 600 nok to get the Snagtights ones, I'm lookin for something cheaper, so anyone got any tips??

I love wearing pointy flats, but the shoes always rub against the instep area, is there any good protection that wont be too visible? Thx!

I have a few of those square fabrics to wear over the bra from Shein, but they are too narrow. Where can I find something that will cover my chest and decolletage? Looking for a thin fabric that I can just slip over my head so i can cover up some crepe skin etc. Thank you all!

Hello!

I was recommended this for crepe skin on my decolletage, I use it at night 7 days a week and layer Gold Bond over it, some said it would sting a bit but it didn't sting at all. I use sun block 50 every single day.

Last night i applied as normal but noticed I looked a bit red and irritated just below my neck. And it did definitely sting! I've been using it for ca 8 -9 days.

Any idea if this can be due to the product reacting to sun irritation or do I need to cut down on days I'm using it? Thx!

I am diagnosed with C-PTSD, DID, PNES. I was on 700 mg seroquel 1.5 year ago but been slowly tapering off. Down to 300 mg. Because of international delivery problems, I can't get hold of depot so I have to take 50 mg at 10 and then at 2.

I sleep very well on 200 mg.

I really really want to get off it totally, but my attempts has been failed. I couldnt go from 100 to 50 I got really unwell physically and mentally. The doc says it's not likely I will even be able to get off it...so I'd like to hear from anyone who has been able to stop taking it all together. And how long did it take? Thx.
