is this a scam? letter from 'the tracing group' about my child trust fund that seems legit but ive never heard of them before? read description

they have written my correct bank and name and i do actually have a child trust fund.

a few months ago, i contacted HSBC to look for my child trust fund. i didn't contact my bank or this tracing group. HSBC took weeks to send me a letter back (my parents don't know who my child trust fund provider is so had to do it all by mail) and then they kept asking for more info or something. it was taking so long and i was getting ready for university so it completely slipped my mind so i just didn't continue with trying to find it.

is this company actually real? will they genuinely get me my money without any fees? there's only probably about £500 in that account so if they take a big sum i will just figure out how to find it myself by battling with the HSBC again.

Areolas...

I have big areolas to go with my big boobs. They're so ugly in my opinion and take up 70% of my boob. I'm just wondering how many of us big chested women also have this problem? I need to know I'm not alone in this because it makes me so insecure 💔 I don't care that "there's men out there who like it!" because I don't like it and i don't even like men

my areolas are too big

i'm only 19 and i have these huge saggy boobs full of stretch marks with massive areolas. i hate it, it feels like they're staring back at me every time i look into a mirror. i'm already saving for a breast reduction + lift but is there any way to reduce the size of areolas?

and how do other women deal with this? finding a good bra is impossible because my boobs are so unproportionately big to the rest of my body and i look horrifically slutty in anything form fitting but i look really big in baggy clothes.

prozac is making me (19f) depressed. its been 8 months since my last dose.

i started taking prozac in september 2025. it made me horribly depressed. i know that theres an adjustment period of up to 6 weeks, but i was taking it for 10 weeks and was feeling worse than ever. ive been kinda depressed before but i started taking prozac for my anxiety, i wasnt really depressed. my college attendance went down to 63% because i couldnt get out of bed and ive had at least 95% attendance my whole life.

after 10 weeks of prozac and STILL being unable to function, i was put on a higher dose and it just made me feel even worse so i stopped taking it in december.

my brain is so foggy and scrambled. while i was on prozac i was really foggy and struggled remembering what happened even an hour ago (i dont even remember those months) and i think being foggy for a few months has thrown me off because even now i always forget what the day or even month is.

its now august 2026 and i still feel worse than i did before taking prozac even though my last dose was 8 months ago. my anxiety is just as bad, if not worse. and it made me depressed on top of being anxious. anyone else experiencing something like this?

men ignore the "asexual" in my dating profile

this is so common on dating apps. i have asexual selected, i have it written in my bio too, and it still doesnt keep those types of guys away

Tips on sensory issues? Specifically duvets?

I really need help with duvets. In fact, I hate beds as a whole.

For years, I have slept with either just a blanket, or in the winter when it's really cold I will sleep with a duvet with no cover because I can't stand it. There's so much material flapping about and wrinking and I genuinely can't sleep with a duvet cover because I feel it and It angers me so much I literally have a meltdown.

Is there any alternative you guys can recommend?

ive got a few comments on other subreddits that my art is scary or looks looks like a corpse or "i wouldnt want something like that in my house". thats a direct quite from some comment.

its making me feel a bit sad cus i was posting for advice and only gotten comments like these

never had criticism on my art before

i like to exaggerate proportion and colour. first slide A5. second slide both drawings are A6. all 3 in oil pastel

i want to explore more. oil pastel is 100% my favourite medium but how can i improve my art to make it more interesting? im kinda stuck at this level and cant seem to do anything better

should i buy a switch 1 or lite?

im looking to buy my first switch. i have never owned any sort of gaming console, ive only gamed a bit on my laptop and phone sometimes. im not really interested in big title games like pokemon or mario cart so im not looking to get the switch 2, the switch 1 games are enough for me.

the only difference i can see between switch lite and switch 1 is the screen size. can you play all the switch 1 games on the lite? whats the battery life like? any other differences i should be aware of?

i finally found how to work around my biggest sensory issue

bed sheets. i cant stand bed sheets.

they always wrinkle or feel wrong, no matter what bed sheet brand i try. i have spent years sleeping without a bedsheet on my mattress. it is so unhygienic and i legit hand wash and dry my mattress with a hair dryer every once in a while because i cant stand having bed sheets. with bed sheets, i will be unable to sleep because i need to take everything off my bed and re adjust my sheets 10 times before im so tired that i knock out.

i brought a cheap(ish) weighted blanket. i laid it down on my bed and i realised its not wrinkling. boom solved. i now sleep with a weighted blanket on my mattress as a 'bed sheet' and it is amazing!!! i can take it off and wash it like a normal bed sheet while protect my mattress ❤️

going for kinda realistic but not hyperrealistic, oil pastel, a5

im not sure if anything is off about these. maybe the anatomy but im working on that, its also difficult as i use a5 paper so i feel like some of the detail gets lost? im asking more about the use of colours and textures

been drawing with oil pastels for 3 days

i also have no idea how to do backgrounds so advice on that would be helpful. and what my style is called
