I kid you not, for some reason I spent several hours biting one specific spot on the inside of my cheek for some reason. I can't even take a good look at the wound because any slight bit of movement hurts. I can't smoke, eat, drink, I can't speak very well, my cheek's swollen, and it hurts a lot. Can anyone help with faster healing or pain relief?
I'm(18f) anorexic. I moved in with my friend about 2 months ago and he decided to help me recover. I really appreciate that, I couldn't ask for a better friend. His way of helping was pretty straightforward: make sure I eat every day, force me if needed, and never let me step on a scale. I agreed to this, because that's exactly what I need. The problem is: I keep failing, and proffessional help is not an option for personal reasons. I literally set a single standard: at least one meal a day, and I can't even do that. Lately I've been eating less than ever, whilst simultaneously feeling fatter than ever, and my thoughts have been toxic in general. What triggered it was I thought I was so smart and decided to weigh myself.
My friend proceeded to take the scale, dysmantle it and throw it away. I'm really glad he did but holy shit the shame is eating me alive. I feel like a failure because I can't keep up such a simple task, and now that another person is also involved in my shit, I also feel like I'm failing him, and any of my other friends who've had to hear me talk about how I'm finally getting better only to fail so soon. I mean this guy volunteered to help me, I didn't even ask him, and I keep failing something so simple. I'm considering just telling him to give up on me and going back to trying to do it myself, because I'm genuinely scared he'll get sick of my shit eventually. I've never hated myself more.
I've relapsed HARD. And only after about a week too. I haven't eaten in 5 days, my legs literally gave out on the way to the bathroom and I had to get my friend to help me get back to bed. I ate a banana and now I can walk small distances but I still feel like I'm dying, but the worst part is I still feel like a fat pig and don't think I can get past that to eat something else today. Do I just wait it out or what? I genuinely don't know what I'm supposed to do
Rebecca seems to love Alvin a lot, I doubt she'd cheat on him, and I doubt even more that she'd want to sleep with Carver, but I'm not sure
I don't know a single thing about creating a game. Can someone explain it to me like I'm 5?
I can't stand this, I'm irritable beyond control, I've yelled at someone at least 50 times in the past 3 days and I'm not even doing it on purpose. Everything hurts and I feel like I got stabbed in the abdomen. I've cried like 3 times today and I don't even know why. I feel like I'm losing it. I haven't gotten out of bed at all, and when I did I could barely stand up. This sucks.I don't know how I'll endure this for another 2-3 days
I use better exceptions, and it keeps showing me some sim template error. I think it has to do with my mods because I've been having other mod related issues, I don't know what to do, it's really annoying, help.
My cycle has literally become like 40 days long. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with my ED or my other habits, and I'm not sure if I should see a doctor about it. What do y'all think?
I just posted something else about my moving out like two hours ago, but there's more on my mind about it.
I have 3 younger sisters, a 7 year old, a 6 year old and a 1 year old. I'm moving out in 3 days and I don't plan on visiting much, for obvious reasons, but I feel so guilty about leaving them alone with their deadbeat dad and our evil mother. The woman is basically a cartoon villain who'll go out of her way to make your life difficult if you don't constantly stroke her ego. There's no way I can take custody, I'm only 18 and still looking for a job.
I want to cut her off and never speak to her again, but the kids don't have phones of their own so there's no way I can contact them without contacting her. I need advice. How do I keep her out of my life as much as possible whilst keeping the kids in my life?
3 days from now, I will no longer be living with my sad excuse for a mother, very happy about that, nothing she does can really get to me right now, but she's trying.
Last night I asked my mother and my stepfather how they moved my PC from one city to another, because I wanna take it with me. Bitch said I'm not allowed to take it until I'm "my own person" and have my own place. I'm moving into my friend's place and she's very pissed about that. I said it's mine and she can't tell me what to do with it, but she said it isn't because she paid for it. I realised it's not worth the hassle, the PC is shit anyway and I have a laptop at my friend's place, so I just withdrew myself from the conversation and went to my room. Of course, she's giving me the silent treatment today, and my stepfather said I should talk to her.
Well I'm tired of trying to talk to her when she acts like a bratty toddler. I'm sick of parenting my own mother so I'm just going to enjoy the peace and quiet for the next 3 days. I'm still very happy about moving out and for the first time in 18 years, I'm not letting her take that away from me.
I have abusive parents, so this topic specifically really gets under my skin, and the fact there's nothing I or any individual could do pisses me off even more. I'm not sure if this post needs the trigger warning, since I don't plan on going into details about child abuse but I figured I'd rather put it there to be safe.
What I mean when I say the system allows child abuse is: children are basically the property of their parents up until they turn 18. Where I'm from it's even completely legal to beat your child as long as you don't injure them too severely. I'm really pissed at how we as a society treat kids. The law and their caretakers treat them like dogs. They have no autonomy, can't leave their caretakers if they're abusive, and the system rarely does anything to stop it. It sets the child up to be abused with no way out other than turning 18 and moving out.
And even parents who don't abuse their kids still act like they own them. This is probably a controversial opinion but I don't think anyone should have rules imposed by another person in their life, no matter how young they are. I think the whole "underage" thing is horrible. It takes away basic human rights and autonomy away from someone just because they're young. I turned 18 in November 2025 and I can't even begin to describe how much my mental health has improved since then. Just knowing I'm legally no one's pet anymore has really made life more tolerable, but I feel sorry for anyone who hasn't gotten there yet.
What I'm trying to say is children should have the same exact rights and autonomy as any adult. They shouldn't be legally bound to their parents or any adults. It's the only way to actually stop child abuse. Give them a voice and the power to make their own choices in their lives. And I can already hear the comments about how they're too young to make their own life choices, and I think that even if they make the wrong decisions in life due to their inexperience, it's their choice to make. They're people just like any of us, and I don't think any human being should have authority over another, because we're all the same.
My tolerance has gotten really high lately, I literally can't get stoned. Will a joint with just weed help?
I got my right ealobe pierced about a week ago. Every time I have pierced mh ears, I jut have my friend pierce it with a safety pin and then just leave the safety pin in there until it heals. This is my 4th time doing this and I've never had any problems with it. I mean, each one got infected but I always just leave it and wait for it to sort itself out. I know that's a horrible idea, but it's just the earlobe, so what's the worst that could possibly happen, right? I definitely wouldn't tell others to do what I do though.
Anyway, I've ran into a problem I've never had before. It started yesterday morning, I woke up, felt my face was wet, wiped it off thinking I'd just slept with my mouth open, and noticed a red stain on my pillowcase. Then i looked at my hand, it was covered in blood. I look in the mirror and see an absolute crime scene. My entire ear, neck and half of my face were drenched in blood. And even though it looked like a gore video, it didn't hurt at all.
Since then I've noticed it starts bleeding every time I even slightly move or touch the safety pin. The problem is that it's really itchy for some reason so I can't just not touch it. I mean I can control myself not to touch ut while I'm awake, but I gotta sleep sometimes. I don't know how it's supposed to heal if it keeps bleeding all the time.
Can someone tell me why this is happening?
