    The weirdest thing happened when I was recovering from covid. I couldn’t really taste much, but cilantro suddenly had a perfume-like scent. It eventually went back to normal after I recovered, but I definitely have a healthy level of sympathy for people who taste soapy cilantro now



  • I posted a picture of myself on reddit asking for hair advice. My head was turned somewhat to the side so my nose was in profile. Someone felt the need to tell me I had the ugliest nose they had ever seen. I never really noticed the shape before that, but now in my mind’s eye it’s huge, crooked and has a hook.

    A decade later I was getting a septoplasty to repair damage from an assault, and I asked the surgeon if he could remove the hook in my nose. He looked at me with the most compassion anyone ever has, and asked me to point out the hook in the mirror. It was the first time in all those years I finally saw my real nose. It’s actually pretty cute, I don’t know what that commentor was smoking








  • That devastation and these other horrific feelings you have right now are proof you’re not a terrible person. I know this is extremely difficult, but please don’t put weight on the thought that other people think you should die. They don’t understand the intensity of your feelings, or the thought patterns that put you in this situation

    These next few weeks, til after your trial, are going to be the most difficult you’ll experience. You don’t deserve to die, you deserve to have the truth of the situation out in the open so no one can question you. What happened wasn’t your fault, and in the future you can protect yourself a bit from this happening again. I’m really sorry that someone found a way to hurt you in the most insidious and specific way possible


  • You’ve been deeply violated, and it’s really normal to feel guilt and shame to the point of suicidal ideation/action after such a deep betrayal. I have a different pd, but I recognize a lot of myself in the pain you’ve expressed. Maybe you could bring up ptsd when you get into therapy again? Our brains are very susceptible to it.

    I’m sorry you’re going through this, and you don’t deserve to die. You have a disability, I really hope your lawyer can get that fact across to the people who need to understand it.
