I can’t believe how many cars are stolen these days. It seems that the police just log it as a statistic and that’s it. So I think people try their luck more and more because they know they won’t be caught / the police don’t pursue it. I used to think car theft was a serious crime but apparently not.

Once it’s logged as well insurance companies put the prices up in that area!! If someone’s car gets stolen on your street it will affect your insurance. So I’ve been told

country is screwed.200 million the coronation was!?

Nothing seems to be a serious crime. Over the past 20 years I've been mugged, burgled and now had my car stolen, and there was zero interest or follow up from the cops on any occasion.

When was burgled I lived with my sister. I arrived home in the car and she'd already called the police. I was (understandably, I'd say) upset and crying and they tried to breathelize me, accusing me of drink driving! I'm tee total!! The officer was really awful to me.

Its only serious when you harm the criminal. Apparently taking the law into your own hands is worse than being a career criminal

The police don't seem to care, I was verbally and physically abused by my ex and it involved our child who was 7 at the time and very traumatised. They didn't care at all, they wouldn't give me a statement to take to family court either and even went as far as to say it wasn't as bad as I made out.

So family court turned it around on me saying it was me who was the issue 😪.

My colleague is absolutely useless. Shouldnt have been allowed to do the job. I left clear instructions that I’d done something and they did it again, badly.
I also left one about something no longer happening and they let it happen and I spent the first few hours of todays shift fixing it. his excuse was “I didn’t read it”
he’s arrogant and tries to take credit for things he hasn’t done. He got a degree by getting someone else to do his work. He wears too much aftershave that the smell lingers for HOURS. I had to deep clean the desk to get rid of it.
and he sips his tea loudly.

i feel a bit better now 😂

I feel this.

Eventually I was taken seriously.

Before that happened I was diagnosed as BPD with psychosis because of things he said (I ODed because it seemed the only way to get away), the hospital released me back to him even though I begged them to section me, anything to keep me away from him.

Within 6 months, it reached a point where I had to creep out the house when he was asleep and go to the police, by that point I had a DA worker. Life was hell. Police wrote up reports, they knew that I was at extreme danger from him after visiting him. No charges were raised though because, it wasn't a stranger it was just a bad marriage.

I failed, by that point he was more controlling than anything, I'd learned to hide and shut myself in rooms when he got particularly bad. You get a feeling.... at the beginning, that's when the worst of the physical stuff happened.

I was assaulted a few months later, it was bad, it was suspected he was behind it, not enough evidence.

It's been 10 years since I left that area and everything he was putting me through. I still struggle, he hasn't paid for a damn thing he did.

I don't just struggle with the mental effects, but it's looking increasingly likely that physical damage is permanent.

So when people tell me to get over it, it's just the past..... God yes, I've moved forwards, I'm so much more than I was with him but I will forever be reminded of the years I was with him and what he got away with. I don't hate him, I know he still hates me, only because of what I represent but ultimately he hates himself more than I ever could so there is no point in me wasting my energy or poisoning myself on that one.

Confession over. It's been a bad week. I can have weeks and weeks where I don't think about it and then nothing in particular will set me off and I turn into this sobbing mess on the floor. It's ridiculous.

Turns out 2023 is the year of reflection for me, I'm having to face things I don't want to face and I've tried to run from for too long.

ETA: I'm so sorry, I don't know why I wrote this, like I said, weird week in my head and I just, sometimes it's hard. I don't let people close, it's too difficult, combination of CPTSD and autism but also I don't have family and the couple of friends I do have.... it's hard for them to hear, it's hard for me to talk to them about and counsellors always try to use CBT tit when maybe I just want to bleeping talk it through. Sometimes, I just need to say the words, I'm allowed to say that he broke me in ways that I can't even describe, no-one can tell me he didn't.

Sorry again.

You don't ever need to say sorry. Voicing how you are feeling is very important 🤍.

I'm still getting used to trying to lay blame at his feet rather than everyone else, which sounds weird and I'm not doing a very good job.

I understand why he hated himself enough to hurt me the way he did and that was always my failing in not necessarily forgiving him, but accepting his apologies. Plus, I had been brought up to believe that nobody would want me because of my autistic traits etc so I thought I was lucky to have someone that wanted to be with me. You know how it goes.

So when I talk about my past normally, or attempt, it's, well this happened but its the surgeons fault for not fixing my jaw right or it's the police's fault for not protecting me and on it goes, it's never his fault for doing it in the first place I just joke about how he never said sorry.

The few people in my life who know dont understand why I don't hate him, I just can't. I carried hate for a while and then let it go, everyone else can do that bit, I have to deal with the repercussions of the life I lived with him without living with hate as well.

Last year I was dealing with something else and the caseworker I was working with said to me, 'how long since you were in an abusive relationship?', I said, 'what do you mean?', and she said, 'you have abuse victim written all over every interaction you have with every male'. You can escape the situation, it leaves it's mark. I thought that if I spent time around men, if I became physically strong etc etc etc then it would make it all go away but years later and people can still see it a mile away. When I was a kid I was singled out for the autism tit, as an adult female I get singled out for that and what my husband turned me into.

I'm actually OK, its just a very quiet life, and regimented lol, confusing most of the time but peaceful.

I feel so large and weird. No matter what I do, I cannot shift this weight I’ve gained. It doesn’t help when memories from a few years ago come up and I was half the size I am now. I feel so suicidal because of it.

Omg I know the feeling. Not suicidal but I feel the same large and weird. I used to be slim then put weight on when my horse died due to not doing As much exercise. I hate looking at myself in old pics seeing how good I used to look. Feel like I’ve aged as well recently.
I don’t let people take pics of me and hate my bf seeing me naked 😦😪. I hope you’re ok. Have you tried working out at home or anything like that?

Yeah, tried every home workout I can think of. Literally cannot shift the weight no matter what I do 🙃
It’s frustrating though because I see other women my size and I think ‘wow she’s stunning’ and when I try and recreate the outfit/makeup look thinking maybe it’ll suit me because we’re similar size, I just end up looking bleeping ridiculous.

I was gonna go for a walk but I’m now in bed having a panic attack instead. It’s so tit honestly I just don’t know what to do anymore

I mentioned upthread that my car was stolen and the police couldn't care less. When I reported it, they said they had the local CCTV cameras on the look out for it. 10 hours later, they called and closed the case as they had no leads.

Yesterday I got two penalty charge notices through, which were incurred by the thief two hours after I reported the car stolen. So the traffic enforcement cameras twice pictured my car, but the police had no leads?!

I've challenged the PCNs, which was a huge challenge I assume designed to put people off, but the documentation I have from the police and my insurance doesn't clearly state "theft of *vehicle registration number* at *time* so it's unclear if they'll drop them.

It's such an insult to injury...seeing photos of my stolen vehicle committing traffic violations.

Never say you are sorry here. We can't physically help, but we can listen and I know, as do many others here understand how it helps a little to release it. Take care 🫂s
 
Feeling really frustrated. I’ve been breaking out in hives multiple times a day for months. Im so freaking miserable and exhausted with it. It’s unpredictable and can be anywhere and I have no triggers I can think of. Finally get an appointment with a dermatologist and they run 0 tests, rush me through my experiences and then tell me it’s chronic uticaria, it’s an autoimmune problem and it usually goes away in 2 years.
I think the only reason I got some blood tests is because of family history. Had to tell them twice I was prescribed something because otc antihistamines don’t work long enough. Feel like I was supposed to just say “it’s cool, I’ll just suffer through this for a year or so”

Look up “mondetta ladies quilted freezer jacket” for inspiration. The style is good for spring weather and the cut is very forgiving and looks so cute on 🥹 I wore mine for a milk run this morning with a beanie and Birkenstocks. Hope you take care. I know the frustration all too well over here 🧡

i actually need to vent but i’m not sure if i’m being unfair or not 🤣

i went out with friends yesterday shopping and then for a few drinks, had a lovely time, came home all fine. this morning my best friend (who was there) has messaged me to ask if i’m okay because i “seemed a little blue yesterday”. which i guess has upset me because i’m absolutely fine, had a good night but am now paranoid that i was actually incredibly moody without intending to be and made everyone feel awkward.

i’ve replied saying no i’m fine and apologised if i am came across differently and she said “never apologise, just checking in!” which doesn’t help me at all 🤣

would anyone else be sort of annoyed or paranoid by this, or am i overthinking a genuinely thoughtful gesture?! 🤷🏼‍♀️
No i wouldnt be annoyed, be thankful youve got a friend who was just checking that youre ok
