... Read moreDealing with toxic relationships can be incredibly challenging, especially when they involve partners who cheat or manipulate, leading to lasting emotional scars. The phrase “your not the crazy” us the day after perfectly captures the confusion and doubt one may feel following such experiences. Setting clear personal standards is essential in reclaiming your confidence and protecting your well-being. It is not uncommon to experience mixed emotions when distancing yourself from cheaters or partners labeled as #psycho by others. Understanding that having standards is about self-respect rather than overreacting helps shift the perspective towards healing. This process involves surrounding yourself with positive influences like #bestfriend and trusted support systems. Additionally, recognizing the role of past relationships (#ex and #boys) in shaping what you will accept going forward empowers you to avoid repeating negative patterns. It’s important to communicate openly and honestly while also trusting your instincts. Ultimately, adopting healthy boundaries allows for personal growth and more fulfilling connections. Sharing these experiences with a supportive community encourages others to embrace their standards and prioritize their mental health.

Does anyone else have this fear?🥲
It’s kinda sad I’m 28 and I feel like this … I think it just shows the stigma around women’s health and periods! I feel like guys are so used to girls using tampons that if they used a pad they would think it’s gross… Pads aren’t the cutest and they make me feel like I’m wearing a diaper 💀
