Fragrance allergy guilt (tw: mental health)

I feel so guilty and bad for making everyone’s lives difficult with my stupid allergies and fragrance sensitivities.

I know it would be easier for everyone if I wasn’t here. Like I know that is literally true. (I’m not suicidal don’t worry)

I just create so many hassles for people and I’m a difficult person because of all of my stupid medical conditions I just hate it. I never want to make anyone feel guilty or bad for doing something as basic and nice as wearing perfume. I wish I didn’t have this issue at all. I wish I could wear perfume!

today my mother in law came over and I got a huge awful painful rash because she wore perfume. I didn’t want to make her feel bad at all, and didn’t mention it but after she left she sent me an apology text telling me she forgot and is sorry.

I just feel so guilty and horrible and like disgusted with myself for making everyone accommodate me all the time. i know it’s exhausting for everyone, my husband most of all because he has to clean with fragrance free products after people leave.

i feel so so sad. I’m not actively suicidal don’t worry, just sad and ashamed even though I know this isn’t “my fault“ it feels like it is.

Hal’s New York: ripoff

Feeling like suing the potato chip company for false advertising bc the chips on the bag look beautifully seasoned and appetizing but the chips in the bag are anemic, pale, and there’s only like 10 of them…..you’ve gotta be kidding me and for like $8 im mad

2 wedding rings missing after painters did bedroom. What do I do?

Hi, I know I’m dumb for leaving valuables in my bedroom closet while people work in my house but they were deep in a Whole Foods bag. it’s my wedding ring (gold and heirloom) and engagement ring (diamond ring). they’re both in their boxes.

what should I do? we’ve had contractors in and out from the painting company. there really is no other place the rings could be as I’ve torn my whole house apart looking for them.

i dont want to upset the company as they’re still working on our dining room and living room. what would you do?

What would it take for missing person’s reports to be filed remotely/not “in person”?

hi, I saw a TikTok of a poor woman whose best friend is missing in Philly after not showing up to a wedding she was supposed to be in in New Hampshire.

she said that she’s having to have a random person from a Facebook comment file a missing person’s report, because police told her it has to be filed in person.

why is this, and what would it take to change this rule? seems inconvenient in the age of social media and technology and maybe even prohibitive of quicker results.

How do you feel beautiful? Trying to have better self esteem…

background for this is I’ve got a chronic illness which makes me get rashes easily/lots of allergies, and I wear my hair up in a bun a lot/mostly wear comfy clothes. due to this chronic illness and thyroid cancer/IVF I’ve gained a little weight and just feel so bad about myself. my face is also very swollen all the time, and I can’t wear makeup or do perfume bc fragrances irritate me.

i think I have a self esteem problem. I don’t want to rely on my husband to call me beautiful, but I feel like he only does so when i express to him that I don’t feel cute so it’s maybe not from a genuine place. the sad thing is, he used to compliment me all the time. he’d look at me like I was a million bucks and make me feel really confident too.

ladies, how do you feel confident and beautiful? any advice? I’m not sure what to say to my husband but I truly feel so sad looking in the mirror lately. I don’t know what it would take.

i tried on some new clothes today and all he said was “nice, they fit.”I just felt so ugly and cried in the shower afterwards. I want him to be proud to be with me. I dunno, just feeling low. maybe my hormones but :(

Ways to increase curb appeal? Thinking of adding portico

Hi guys, my husband and I will be moving into this beautiful 1938 brick colonial in early June and we are so excited! We are going to be first time homebuyers in New England.

We are thinking of adding a portico/overhang over the front door (I provided an example) and replacing the front door. Any other ideas for a period-appropriate way to beautify the house?

some of the virtual staging/AI is absolutely out of hand. we need to abolish this practice because what do you mean you’ve morphed the radiator into a geometric blob? what is something out of five nights at Freddy’s doing here? and what is this FAKE GRASS….i can’t.

can we please just normalize posting the home as it ACTUALLY LOOKS? otherwise it’s dishonest literally
