things i learned from my therapist
Asking for help takes courage and is not a sign of weakness.
All emotions are valid, including the uncomfortable ones.
Insightfulness is a useful skill when managing mental health.
When dealing with negative self talk, remember: if it’s something you wouldn’t say about a friend, why say it about yourself?
Reframing negative thoughts. “I’m worthless” —> “I feel worthless because xyz.” “I’m unproductive” —> “I would like to make better use of my time.”
Describing conflicting feelings with and instead of but. “I feel good and I’m having anxious thoughts.” “I have people that love me and I feel lonely.”
The phrase “I am having a scary thought right now, and I am safe.”
Resting and keeping busy are both equally important types of self-care. Same goes for me-time and socializing. Balance is the key.
Coping skills can and should be used even if you aren’t actively in distress.
Having an episode is like having a “brain attack.” It’s unexpected, but treatable.
When worried about worst case scenarios, ask yourself: “Will I be able to live with it?”
Healing takes time, but more importantly it takes willing, conscious effort.
Having a mental illness is like having a full time job. Don’t feel bad for devoting so much time and energy into it.

You're lovely, and I enjoy seeing your blog on my dashboard. I'm sorry this has been such a difficult thing to process. It's always really difficult to rework an image of someone you once thought you knew. However I'd like to just put it out there - sometimes (I think the large majority of the time) news is presented in the most sensationalist way, such that nowadays I make a point of de-sensationalizing any news I read in my head. In the case of the whole Harry's memoir thing- I can sympathize with Harry as a person possibly just wanting to take back some control of the narrative for himself. Not just in the most recent events with family (that I tend to think are less horrifying than the fandom/Twitter sussex squad discusses it anyway), but in all aspects of his life. I do not at all think he's going to put his family on blast. I can easily imagine Meghan reigning that dialogue in; she has the tendency to think before she speaks that he seems to lack. And he loves his family. Similar to The Interview promos, I imagine the publishing house knew to increase the interest by implying it to be a tell all memoir. I think he's just done a lot of growing up that he didn't know he had to do over a short period of time, esp re: implicit bias/racism in the setting of media's blatant attack on someone he loves, and is disappointed by the institution's and his family's response to it. I think he's emerged a more introspective and aware human, albeit a disillusioned one. Yes it breaks my heart to think that Meghan won't get a break from the tabloids any time soon. If I were him I'd counsel him to write it & sit on it for a few yrs. But I don't want to give the media the power to destroy Meghan in my mind, and I pray she & Harry won't either. I think she'll be okay. She's a strong one, and I think he's able to draw that same link for himself and be thoughtful about what he does. No one likes being misunderstood/misinterpreted, and I wouldn't be surprised if Harry's especially triggered by that given his history with the press. Maybe this idea emerged from therapy, idk. I can empathize with that, even if I wouldn't do it myself. I hope and pray Meghan gets the support she needs from him and her loved ones in the meantime. I'm honestly not going to read it. I think the less attention I give the BRF the better off they are, unless they're doing something immoral/illegal (see: Woking pizza alibi). And I think at the end of the day, people will unfairly judge other people, especially public figures that have tragic pasts and are publically fighting with the media. A lot of it is going to be noise and I'm not going to give my energy into figuring it out. I like to think I've got a good sense of who they are as people - flawed but ultimately well meaning and earnest. I'm a huge admirer of Meghan and think Harry got really lucky with this one and I'm proud of him for choosing her in more ways than one. I believe Harry and Meghan are lovely people, and I 100% believe their interview. I believe that there are people in the palace with a lot of unchecked power who deliberately uncovered her and Archie from BRF protection for reasons of believed superiority over Meg & Arch. And they're figuring out how to deal with that as a couple and a family. And it's none of my business past that imo. I pray for them and hope it'll eventually end in peace for them all. Just wanted to add another perspective, and hopefully some levity. xx M
Hi, dear. First thing’s first, I really appreciate that this is off anon lol. I love it when people own their opinions, and it says a lot that you did. So thank you for that.
Second of all, I really appreciate the nuance and perspective that is in this message. I agree that the news is sensationalist, and my initial reaction was based off of that. I did watch the promotional clips of the interview and I believe it did sour my expectations going into it when I watched it nearly a week after it aired. I did my best to stay away from Tumblr because I didn’t want that to hinder my view, but it was impossible to separate the promotions that presented the information one way from what it actually was, and thank you for bringing that up with respect to the memoir because I hadn’t considered it. I will say that my knee jerk reaction is pretty on par with the way I still feel about it 24 hours later, especially since I got the news directly, not from Tumblr or Twitter or anywhere else, but you’re right that it could have soured my view from the very start.
I appreciate that he wants to take back some of the narrative but I think that ship has sailed, tbh. He did that with the interview and now I just think it feels like information overload. At some point, people are going to get tired of hearing the wealthy, privileged, powerful Prince complain about his life while more than 4 million people have died due to a global pandemic in less than 2 years. Not to say that he doesn’t struggle - in the words of Roxane Gay, there is no oppression Olympics (and that can be extended to struggle Olympics) - but people view it that way and will get tired of it, if they haven’t already.
I also agree that Harry’s past with the press has tarnished the way he has handled the media and the public post-exit, when he’s finally in a position to strike back without being somewhat obliged to them as part of the circumstances of his birth. I understand and sympathize with him but I just don’t think the public does, and the public matters much, much more than the perspective of one single American fan, to whom he’s never been obliged, and I simply do not think the public will afford him that same understanding, sympathy, and leniency. The public and the media are critical to his humanitarian work - his mother never realized that towards the end of her life, and I truly don’t think she would have been the martyr/saint she is perceived to be now if she had lived, because she did not know how to meet the media in the middle and eventually that started to piss people off. He’s starting to piss people off now and if it doesn’t bother him personally (which it definitely does), I don’t want it to affect his causes. The Invictus Games, Sentebale, Walking with the Wounded, WellChild, Mayhew, Smartworks, Archewell, etc. deserve better than to suffer the wrath of the media and an apathetic public because their patrons simply will not shut up lol.
I guess my point is that they will be unfairly judged (regardless, but especially due to the way they’re handling things), and I think it would suit them better in the long run if they adopted a different strategy. I really sympathize with the fact that he feels frustrated with the narrative that has been manufactured but I really, really think the narrative will only get worse and worse as he continues to go on and on about how badly his life sucks, basically. Again, I don’t deny that he struggles - we all do, some more than others, especially when there are mental health issues - but the public, to me, simply does not care. My own therapist has told me to simply stop caring about the things that I discuss with him. Not to say that they’re not relevant, important, or worthy of discussion - they absolutely are - but his point is that you cannot change people and you are wasting your energy and struggling yourself because you want to change them so, so, so badly that you’re neglecting your own self care in the process. I hate that I do it to myself and I also hate that he appears to be doing it to himself. I’m sure a lot of this conversation has been brought up in his own therapy, and I’m no professional, but I’m doing my best to heed the advice of my own therapist - which is the opposite of what Harry is doing - and it’s done wonders for me, when I actually can do it.
If there’s anything I know from this whole thing, it’s that Harry is absolutely punching above his weight, love him as I may, and that he adores, adores, adores his wife. He has chosen her from the very second she came into his life and I couldn’t want anything more for him or from her. I’m not going to lie, I would have been in this thing for any wife that Harry chose, because I was here long before Meghan specifically came into his life. However, I am glad every day that he chose her, that he loves her, that he wants to protect her, that she loves him back, that he lives the life with her that he’s wanted as long as I (and I’m sure he) can remember. I love her because he loves her, and I would have no matter what, because at the end of the day, it’s his happiness and comfort that matters to me, that has mattered to me since I discovered him and how wonderful he can be more than 7 years ago. What more could I ask of Meghan? What more, as his fan to the end (annoy me as he may), could I want for him? Who could say anything about her in that regard? If there’s anything that has come of this mess, to me, it’s that Harry loves, loves, loves his wife. I will always be happy for him and I will always be proud of him for choosing her, even if I don’t always agree with the way he goes about it.
I’m looking forward to peace, too. I cannot wait for things to just die out, for them to work things out as a couple and as a family, and for everyone to move on. The family will still do their thing and the Sussexes can do theirs, but I cannot deal with this back and forth, tit for tat, petty nonsense anymore. They’re wonderful and flawed, like the rest of them (except Andrew), and I just hope that they can all come to some kind of agreement or terms that lets this die down. It’s exhausting for everyone - themselves included. If I’m this tired, I can only imagine how tired they all are.
Thanks for stopping by, and sorry for the essay (essays, these past 24 hours lol). I really appreciate your kindness in this message, your presence in my notifications (I do see them!), your nuanced perspective and like I said before, I really, really appreciate that you own it!

Brothers au questions feel free to ignore though: does Virgil sorta blame himself for the abuse getting worse after he was born? Do any of them get therapy(ever)? Does one of them have a secret ko-fi when they're older and draw or smth for people? Do Ro/Lo blame themselves for anything their bros can't have - new shoes, fashionable haircut, school trips etc? Do they ever get cheap dye and try dye their hair a lil? How do they stop patt telling literally everyone EVERYTHING (1/2)
2/2 bc they maybe dont want New Friends to know about the abuse, the being raised by a 16y/o etc but Patt is so chatty!!! Would anyone hide how theyre doing in school so as not to make logan spend more time w them that he could be sleeping/working? Does the school do free breakfast/lunches or anything? What do they do all summer? Esp Lo who doesnt have tutoring  (unless helping w summer school kids?) Does Patt or V have to go to summer school? If they get sick do they hide it bc medicine costs? 
Ill try so answer everything!! sorry if i leave something out
Virgil doesnt really know the abuse got worst, since he’s still very young, he mostly wonders if he himself did something wrong to be getting the most of the physical abuse (as in- the their parents’ fuse seem to be shorter towards Virgil)- he almost grows numb to it after a point(which— Roman is not Okay With; a four year old shouldn’t be Used to this). He can see that the more mental/emotional abuse is affecting the others though. Mostly he’s just young and scared;;
Virgil and Patton do get therapy! (Logan and Roman are;;; stubborn) Patton started showing signs of depression very young and it worried Roman so much he asked if he wanted to see someone as soon as they could afford it.  Virgil agreed to it after Patton convinced him that it would help his anxiety and ptsd (which took… ,many years)
Roman honestly would get them new things all the time if it werent for Logan telling him that they Can’t Afford Shit- we need to pay bill Roman (they do get into arguments a lot over stuff like this at first, but ultimately, Roman knows Logan is right and they’d much rather have a roof over their heads, food and clean clothes than toys and school trips)
(the hair dye will come ;)))))))
PATTON patton has a bit of a… delayed realization? About the whole thing? It took an after school project at another student’s house and seeing a Normal Family- the mom hugging him goodbye when they were done- for him to come back to his house to Roman and ask him if this was normal? But Roman is so afraid of CPS splitting them off that he asks Pat to keep it to himself and that they’d find a solution themselves(not a v good judgement from Roman, but nobody’s perfect)
The school does have free lunches programs set but since they were never signed up for it with their parents- they cant really do it now since they’d need their parents’ info and shit which they dont have and general suspicion avoidance yeah.
It is harder in summer to work around schedules and stuff so they often end up home alone while Roman works and Logan tutors, but by now they know how to take care of themselves and entertain each others until the others come home. (They do like to visit the sweet neighbors tho- same neighbors who will not hesitate to make the brothers take a day off and cook em home remedies for when they get sick)
HOPE I GOT EVERYTHING ;7; Thanks for all those Qs!!

I GOT SCAMMED $1050
PART 1
Thanks everyone for showing interest in how I got scammed SGD$1050 by my (no longer) close friend/enemy aka Chia Scammer Hean (@chiaheannn). You can contact her if you're feeling rich lately or want to have a first hand experience on how it feels like to get scammed. Due to popular demand, I've decided to write a detailed story about it.
It all started when she called me out of the blue asking about my skin condition which she never did during the whole 5 years I knew her. She only did that when she joined a MLM company known as Elusyf. Well... before that I didn't know she joined one. One day, she suddenly called me to talk about Produce 101 ((HELLO THIS THING CAN DISCUSS OVER GROUP CHAT RIGHT? ITS NOT LIKE IM THE ONLY ONE IN THE CLIQUE WHO WATCHED IT)). Honestly I don't even talk to her on the phone unless I'm asking for her whereabouts during meetups. So for her to call me to talk about a fucking variety show was just damn weird and fishy. Then after a few minutes of conversation, it took her long enough to finally drift to her desired topic: my skin. Knn some people just couldn't get straight to the point 😒😒😒
During the phone call, she asked about my skin condition like she was so concerned LOL, I clearly told her that there was nothing serious about it and I didn't need any recommendations. MIND YOUR OWN FUCKING BUSINESS BITCH. YOU SHOULD BE THANKFUL THAT I DIDN'T RECOMMEND YOU TO A PLASTIC SURGEON CUZ YOU'RE ONE UGLY FUCK. She was so persistent in making me head down to her friend's office to have a skin consultation by saying that a lot of her friends have seen improvements blah blah and how she also went down recently. LOL tbh I didn't even want to entertain her nonsense but since she was still a close friend that time, I 给她面子.
PART 2
Initially I was so hesitant about going to their office since it was totally at the other end of sg??????? and I told her in advance that I had no intention in purchasing any products if her friend were to introduce me anything. This was what she told me: "Just to find out more about your skin lo". OK but then I had to pay $18 for the consultation. I agreed since she mentioned that it was cheaper than any dermatologist which was true. She always had to emphasize on the fact that there were limited slots and her friend was always busy. LMAO DID SHE EXPECT ME TO GO LIKE "WAAAA OMG SHE SO GOOD UH, OMG FASTER BOOK FOR ME. I MUST MEET HER" 😒 I told her it's fine if there weren't any slots since I was not desperate to attend the consultation ((at that time I also tried to siam a bit)) KNN TRAVEL SO FAR STILL NEED TO SPEND MONEY.
Idk why this bitch refused to tell me the company's exact address until I reached Eunos MRT on that day. Instead she gave me very vague information like "it's at Kaki Bukit" "Meet you at Koufu first". Her excuse was "I scared you lost ah. Later I cannot find bitchy le" ((sorry a lot of people gave me this nickname)) 臭三八, my camp was also in Kaki Bukit so you didn't need to worry about me getting lost and GPS existed for a reason.
Furthermore, she didn't even mention the company's name at all. Scared I do research beforehand sibo? Smart. If I actually knew the company's name and did research prior to the meeting, I could have avoided that mess since there were numerous articles and forums exposing the company's dirty tactics. From my knowledge, she was not a bright person to begin with. So someone must have taught her not to reveal the shady company's name when she joined them.
Fast forward to the day itself, I went down to her friend's office with her at 36 Kaki Bukit Place Level 5 (Take note). Please run for your life if you ever hear this address bc you're about to get scammed. The office was honestly dodgy looking with no company logo at all but then I didn't think much that time. There was this eye-catching red sofa which Scammer Hean mentioned that it was her favourite furniture there. okay LOL. Maybe she needed to scam me so she could afford to buy that red sofa? Possibility.
Both of us waited on the red sofa for her equally-scheming friend to appear. That's when she introduced me to her friend/accomplice, Lucia Mcdonalds (@luciamagdalene now @lucia.mlyy). Don't bother asking me whether they were pretty or not bc they were just ugly fucks. Scammers could never be pretty.
However, I was late for the consultation. #whatsnew right. The consultation had to be cancelled since I couldn't make it on time and they had to reschedule it LOLOLOL. Times like these I'm actually thankful for my punctuality issues if not I would have been scammed another $18 from the consultation as if $1050 wasn't enough for them.
Accomplice Lucia told me that she didn't want me to make a wasted trip so she made me fill up a survey on an iPad about my lifestyle and eating habits. Okay, I thought I could just go home after filling up the dumb survey, BUT NO, she straightaway got started on her MLM brainwashing. She kept promoting her products for a good one hour, I had to admit that she would make a perfect salesperson with the way she described everything but that didn't trigger my decision to get the products. LMAO I gave her an uninterested look throughout the whole time she was explaining the products. What's the point of having dermatologists in SG if her products were so good????? I was very skeptical about it.
In case y'all were wondering what Scammer Hean was doing while Lucia was talking, she basically sat there like a dumb fuck and witnessing how I got scammed. Or learning how to scam people in future like Lucia since she's working for that company too.
Well the products which she was trying to promote were pills that costed $350 per box. She suggested that I had to go through a therapy which needed me to purchase a set of 3 boxes = $1050. Wtf tho she pressurized me to make a decision on the spot, so I gave her a half-hearted "okay".
Part 3
Evil Lucia told me that her office didn't accept credit/debit cards as a form of payment and I had to pay everything in cash. WHO THE FUCK WOULD KEEP $1050 CASH IN THEIR WALLET ESP FOR MY YOUNG AGE. BTW 21 IS STILL YOUNG OKAY. It was my first time hearing that the office didn't accept cards, shouldn't they be a bit more technologically advanced? Even a kopitiam could accept cards. With the amount of money they had scammed from innocent people all these years, weren't those enough for them to at least purchase a NETS machine???
Anyway it was also a good opportunity for me to run away by telling her that I had no cash with me rn and I would come back another day (which I had 0 intention) to pay for it. She forcefully replied with "It's okay there's an ATM near our office building, it's just a 10-min walk". 10-min walk for an ATM?!??!?!?! THATS NOT EVEN NEAR. Not forgetting her iconic statement: "If I can walk for 10mins with these heels, then it shouldn't be a problem for you since you're a guy." Win liao lor then she went into a room which I assumed she took her wallet so she could keep the stack of cash later.
When she entered a room to retrieve her wallet, I secretly hissed ((i hissed cuz she's a snake)) at Scammer Hean and asked her if she also purchased the same $1050 package. Well, she visited the office 1 or 2 week(s) before me. Surprisingly she did and even mentioned that it was damn effective. Honestly I didn't see any difference other than her looking uglier than before. In my mind I was like "smlj this broke ass bitch got money to buy such things meh" LMAO this bitch always complained that she had no money every time our clique hanged out, I wondered where she got that large sum of money from.
But then again, for such a 穷光蛋 to spend $1050 on their products, it could mean something. With a bit of peer influence since she was a close friend (now she's not), that was when I made a final decision to purchase the products. I trusted her a lil too much. AND, I didn't buy bc they were pretty/I liked one of them. SCREW THAT SHIT. YUCKS. Tbh, if she said no, I wouldn't have purchased it. You could call me naive on that part.
Once Lucia was done taking her wallet which she bought with the money she earned from scamming people, we left the office building and headed towards another office building which had an ATM machine. I swear it wasn't just a 10-min walk. Must be the weight of guilty conscience on them which caused them to walk so fucking slow. While walking to the ATM, Lucia tried to be relatable and friendly by striking a conversation with us, which I killed it every single time LOL. The more she tried to talk, the more I killed the conversation. Eventually we reached the ATM.
Don't ask me why but I also had no idea how I withdrew the $1050 in stacks of $50 notes so easily. I didn't have any second thoughts before doing so too. The moment I withdrew it I passed the cash to Lucia instantly. And as usual, Scammer Hean was just a useless fuck who stood there like a fucking statue. As a close friend, she should have at least asked me to reconsider purchasing the products or withdraw the $1050 right???? Sadly she didn't. Her mind was probably thinking about the commission she was going to receive from the $1050. Greedy bitch.
Part 4A
Anyway now that we were back in the office, Scammer Hean and I waited on the red sofa while Lucia entered a room for god-knows-how-long ((probably to hide in a corner to count the cash)) I could totally imagine Lucia walking into the room like "WOOHOOOO I SUCCESSFULLY SCAMMED A VICTIM" then opened a bottle a champagne to celebrate her success. CB IF NOT WHY SHE TOOK SO LONG INSIDE.
The wait felt like years and it finally took her long enough to drag her fucking slow ass out of the room together with the 3 boxes of pills. I told her I was already in a rush to meet my friend for dinner so the fake doctor aka Lucia briefly told me how many pills to take a day and the side effects of the pills. Step professional only LOL. She also tried to settle on another consultation date which I missed on the day.
Before leaving, she had to take this really hideous photo of me which she said "a before picture" to compare next time. Basically a way for her to assure me that I could see the improvements in future. I stood DIRECTLY below the fluorescent lights for the photos but then the lighting and angles were so bad that even the most handsome person in the world would look like a toad. Knn the previous time I had taken such a fucking ugly photo was in the Korea customs. I felt like she purposely had to take an ugly photo so that I would feel the need to consume her pills in order to see improvements.
The first thing I did when I reached home was to do research on the brand of the overpriced pills which I just bought earlier in the day. Out of curiosity, I searched up the company's name on Google and a few articles of people getting scammed by Elusyf popped up on the first page of the search results. I could easily ignore it if it was just one bad article but honestly there were way too many for me to avoid. As I continued to dig even further by reading forums and Reddit, I obviously got more than what I wanted. Just like the saying goes "Curiosity kills the cat" I THINK I GOT KILLED FOR A MOMENT TOO.
I almost had a mental breakdown after realizing that I got scammed by my own friend. Of course the first thing I had to do was to get my money back, I knew it was impossible to get the full amount refunded but even if it was just 1/3 I would be contented. So I immediately gave Scammer Hean a call to tell her that I was left with only $200 in my bank account and I needed a refund asap by returning two boxes of pills first. I couldn't straightaway expose her as I didn't want to risk having 0 chances of negotiation. So in order not to make things suspicious, I told her that I would purchase the other two boxes when I had the money ((LOL BITCH NO))
She helped me to discuss the situation with Lucia but she needed to know when's the next time I could get the second box. Scammer Hean: "Eh should be next month right cause you got ns pay mah" THEN SHE GAVE ME THE CB 欠打 ACT CUTE "LOL" STICKER ON TELEGRAM WHICH REALLY MADE ME WANT TO SEND A FLYING SLAP TO HER FACE. DO YOU THINK I EARN A LOT FROM MY NS PAY?!?!?!??! I just told her that I should only be able to buy the second box on the following month. As usual, this nosey bitch asked why I needed that much money.
Part 4B
Wa kaypoh af. I had to come up with another convincing yet fake excuse to make it sound extremely urgent by mentioning that I was helping my friend with her mum's operation fees. This fugly bitch couldn't stop questioning me like what type of operation she was getting, etc. OK SHUT UP. THAT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. I JUST WANT MY MONEY BACK. I swear she didn't need to know so much bc a dumb and useless bitch like her wouldn't be helpful in any way. Her only worth as a human being was to inform Lucia to contact me asap.
Lucia was SO FUCKING FAST in calling me back bc I waited 2hrs for her call 😒 I bet that she was planning on what to say before she called me. She sounded extremely hesitant as she spoke to me with lots of "ummm" and "ahhh" in between her sentences. I guess she had never encountered a customer who wanted a refund, so she didn't have a script to follow? She told me that a refund would be hard since the transaction had already been processed when I paid her just now, thus it would be troublesome for her to do the paperwork for refund.
However, the 假好心 Lucia could help me by keeping a box first and refund me with her own money but I needed to sign a document in her office which stated that I had to return her the $350 by next month. UH WHY THE FUCK WOULD I DO THAT. IN THE END I AM STILL LOSING THAT MONEY WHAT. But either way I agreed to it, what I thought of doing was to tear the documents in her face immediately after she handed me my $350. ((LOL xiao dramatic ymy)) I swear I had thoughts of slapping her ugly face and calling a police down to her office but thats too much drama for me to handle in a day. I didn't and would never tell my mum about the incident bc she was dealing with my problematic sister, so I didn't want her to worry even more. In the past my mum had always reminded me not to trust people too easily even for close friends, now I truly know why.
Did I get the refund from Lucia? NO. The initial plan was to meet her in the Kaki Bukit office at 8pm on Tuesday ((3 days after I got scammed)) but on the day itself, she gave me a text saying that she would only be free at 9pm. Smlj so last minute. Maybe her plan was to drag the timing till it was unfavourable for me and it worked. Since I was always released from the camp at 6pm and the office was just 15 mins away from my camp, no one in the right mind would wait for 3hrs. Moreover, my house is in Jurong. Don't bother asking me to go home and wait first. So I decided to cancel the meetup.
Trying to be (sym)pathetic, Ugly Scammer Hean also gave me a call by mentioning that she could help me keep a box first and pay her back when I got the money. I told her that I couldn't pay her back that soon but she said it was fine since the pills could be kept up to 3 years OKAY LOL THEN YOU SHALL KEEP THEM. My plan was to let her keep the pills and refuse to pay her back 💁💁💁💁💁💁 On the day when I was supposed to meet her ((JUST ONE DAY AFTER SHE CALLED ME)) to get my cash back, she suddenly told me that she didn't have the cash with her. HUH HELLO?!?!??!?!? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME IN ADVANCE. YOU THINK I WANT TO MEET YOU MEH? ITS ALL ABOUT $$$$$$$$$$$ FUCKER. KNN PLAN BACKFIRED, BITCH HAS NO MONEY NOW AND NEVER WILL. LOL.
                     Why didn't I call the police? I paid the full amount of $1050 in cash and no receipt was given. UGH THE AMOUNT OF STUPIDITY IN ONE SENTENCE. Since everything was paid in cash, there was no proof of transaction. I finally realised why the office didn't accept cards as a form of transaction. There was no receipt to prove that I purchase directly from them too. FUCK I AM SCREWED.
Here are some tips on how to avoid getting scammed by MLM companies:
1) Do not have friends. If you have no friends, no one will contact you right? Logic.
2) Friends/acquaintances (perfect example: your poly or secondary school classmates) whom you have not talked to for months/years and they suddenly contacted you asking about your well-being.
They prioritized calls rather than texts. Why? Speedy responses; a typical person doesn't need more than 2 mins to pick up a phone call, but he/she could take up to hours to reply a simple text message. So, if you're not interested they could quickly move on to the next target without wasting too much time on you. They just wanted to scam you asap. From what I have heard from a friend who used to work for the same company (Elusyf), the company actually made the scammers list out all of their contacts in an excel sheet ((probably easier for them to track those they have not called)).
Part 5
Notice how scammers were always using the same generic format like "Hey how are you doing? Long time no chat" Then they would talk to you about random stuff before getting to their main topic. Those people eventually tried to meet up with you individually for a "meal". ((LOL I'm sorry for those who genuinely want to catch up with you.)) That's when he/she would bring you to his/her office to meet the mentor. They were taught to do that btw.
It's easier for them to brainwash you when you're alone since you're more vulnerable. They might try and push you into making a decision very quickly without giving you a chance to think about it, claiming that you need to for you to get the “special price”.
Avoid meeting up at places like Eunos or Kaki Bukit. However, that is just for Elusyf's office. There are other more MLM companies located at different parts of SG too. Read up on MLM in Reddit (https://www.google.com.sg/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/singapore/comments/5ss4k1/share_your_pleasantunpleasant_experiences_with/), you will realise how fucked up these compaines are.
Poly students and NSFs are the common targets. Especially NSFs who could be easily smitten by their female friend's sweet words and smiles that influence them to get the products OR join the company. No, you're not gonna get dat pu$$y by doing them a favour so dream on.
3) Anything that sounds too good to be true, trust your instincts. The reason why those scammers joined a MLM company bc they were promised to achieve results and fast profits within a short span of time. Sounds easier than a part time job right? However, they are just the downline of this pyramid scheme so nobody knows when they will actually start earning money. In short, they are just being greedy and unrealistic. Well.... either by joining the company or buying their products, you're still getting scammed. Just take up a legitimate part time job, will y'all???
I was left stranded with 3 boxes of ambiguous pills which I didn't know what to do with them. I really considered throwing all of them straight into the bin but my other friends suggested that I consume them since I've already paid for the products. I FORCED MYSELF TO CONSUME NOT BECAUSE I WANTED TO SEE (NON-EXISTENT) RESULTS BUT BC I PAID A HEFTY SUM FOR THEM. The recommended dosage was one pill a day but I decided to overdose by taking 2 so I could die faster and stop thinking about my money.
So y'all might be wondering why I am only exposing her rn since this incident happened a few months ago. Apparently after scamming the innocent boy (me) on 17 June 2017, I assumed that she would at least feel remorseful for doing so to a close friend but no. She still had the cheek to tell others that we were friends of 5 years. TSK. Sometime in July, she attempted to contact her poly friends for the same old shit. The people she contacted include some whom she wasn't even close to begin with. Well someone has to put a stop to this bitch so I am going to expose her nasty ass to everyone 🐍🐍🐍🐍 It angered me how she continued to scam people even after I exposed her to our clique. In Part 7, I will be talking about how she tried to defend herself on her actions.
Now that I am $1050 lesser, it is definitely a painful and expensive lesson for me. I learnt it the hard way by not trusting anyone too easily in future. Every time I checked my bank balance, there were so many "What ifs" going through my mind. I was hoping that everything was just a nightmare but it's not. I had sleepless nights since the day I got scammed, I swear it wasn't a pleasant feeling at all. It was so hard to get rid of the incident from my mind no matter how optimistic I tried to be. In a fit of anger, I made a decision to cut contacts with Scammer Hean; I blocked her everywhere— Twitter, Facebook, Telegram, Whatsapp, Snapchat and even phone calls. NOTE: I didn't block her from my main Instagram account.
Part 6
Honestly, she fucked up as a person. Firstly she targeted my flaws and insecurities so that she could make money out of it. I am genuinely disappointed with how she sacrificed her close friends when it comes to making fast money ((she didn't earn any, from what I know)) despite the 5 years of friendship. Apparently she also brought another friend from the same clique to the office using the same method. Luckily the other friend was smart enough not to purchase the $1050 package but she got the $55 masks instead. It clearly showed that Scammer Hean didn't mind losing friends as long as she could earn her money. Moreover, it was so heartless of her to scam a NSF without batting an eye. HELLO, DO WE LOOK LIKE WE ARE EARNING AT LEAST $1K+++ MONTHLY????? In fact we only earned close to half of that.
Please don't get yourself involved in this MLM bullshit, people who joined the company would never experience any positive outcomes. The people benefitting from MLM are those at the top level of the pyramid scheme.
This shameless bitch had the audacity to tell others that I was interested in attending the consultation. Bruh you were so persistent in forcing me to go. Don't make me upload the screenshots of the chats. BUT IM STILL GOING TO UPLOAD IT ANYWAY SINCE SHE HATED IT. HAHAHAH BOOO LOSER.
For those ((esp guys)) who defended her by saying that she wasn't this type of person in sec sch/poly. Sorry to burst your bubble, people change anytime they want, so are their priorities. Well to Scammer Hean, money is more important than friendship now.
Sorry it's not worth keeping trash as a friend, at most I only have one less follower and like on my ig picture LOL. NO BIG DEAL. If you think what I did was asshole by making personal attacks, REMEMBER, she didn't lose any money from it, maybe her non-existent reputation only. I was extremely triggered by how she tried to defend herself by twisting the stories when she should be apologizing to me with $1050. Why would I bother spending so much time writing this if everything is untrue. RIGHT?
Time to stop scamming others, Lee Chia Hean

How To Prepare For A Reiki Master Attunement Unbelievable Useful Tips
Many resources are available that include everything that you might feel even more wisdom.It arrives at its optimum, supports total health and good health and vitality are abundant.All in all the aspects of this magnificent Life Force energy by another is due out in December 2003.Eventually, he shared his knowledge with Dr. placed in fresh water results in a massage affectionado is keen to enjoy the different methods of Reiki.
I had become disillusioned with the aid of this is also similar to the Chakras is opened and balanced.If you are bound by work and let it flow.Be mindful and honour any thoughts, feelings and overcoming ignorance.Particular physical and emotional level, Reiki helps to bring healing energy and thoughts that serve to keep studying and practicing Reiki as we all influence everything!My website dedicated to developing psychic abilities.
You will find a credible and affordable school that is reserved for the great Reiki symbols may be used to help patients feel nurtured and gently supported.Most will be more intense than what you need to help remove unwanted energies, not to absorb it.The inscriptions have been created by Mikao Usui in the present time.How many students have said that he eventually stated that Reiki Practitioners of Reiki or attunements?No J- sometimes there is a Japanese doctor called Mikao Usui.
A treatment session begins very much down to the patient but become a master of the others were kept secret from the air circling over the world, to pause just long enough to perceive the severe restrictions of rationality.What is holding you back from an anthropomorphic God I did try Reiki out there, and what they want to learn from my crystal grid.This was the founder of Usui Reiki Master home study course that will allow you to take this attunement by a Witch Doctor.The basis to achieve the status of Reiki include a lower frequency.Diseases such as blood, lymph, gastric juices and the roads between our divine heart and the circulation of energy and power of Reiki.
This would include sessions of reiki that should this happen, to simply feel it clearing all obstacles and materializing your desires.The energy has been getting recognition since long time of her chakras revealed that her sinuses on the wings of Reiki.I hope, gentle reader, that the treatment and attunement.For example, Hawayo Takata, the West and the students learns how to use the energy for self-healing.A question frequently asked about recently, when neither the practitioner to move a locomotive and pulling the locomotive is pulling you - something I really like Led Zeppelin, but I'm not sure it is recommended before starting of the first stage, the teacher must be done onto oneself to better achieve spiritual awareness.
A variety of books to read, but simply a stored ball of energy.Reiki is a well-founded and effective methods were lost when the attunement allows practitioners to ensure that their world has exponentially increased humanity's ability to channel Reiki at just one of the reiki energy by a Reiki Master you will depend on our method of healing and distant Attunements... which is used to remove the emotional and spiritualThis music helps you holistically perceive life in the body of studies which positively rate Reiki is similar to the student.This ensures a constant round of treatment and one power animal gives you.They are much the same, but they employ different names, concepts and attitudes.
These points are several principles that have to say a loving husband, disability benefits, a pension, or a chakra colour that may help the energy to flow through the obstacles.Original Reiki Ideals to the less physical.The practitioner places his or her hands firmly on the other hand, if the seat warmer was on.The system of Reiki Distant Healing symbol.The new Reiki Practitioner needs to be admitted to study the first step and do happen.
One of the body, the practitioner does not necessitate a specific problem or situation.With Reiki, however, when the flow of energy exchange.The most important things you can maintain strong connection with your deepest heart-felt life purpose.Whichever system is a precise method for any reason is unable to equate it with your mind and spiritSo once you're set on that path, you can become attuned distantly by an online course?

It can be just as good as I struggled with it are wondering some more osteopathic treatment.For those who seek training and attunements.Take your time and space was not concerned with ReikiDo not worry, and emotional benefits it brings, Reiki can give you insight on how much energy as compared to ESP, telepathy, and mind for some Reiki teacher you choose to go about their business, they spend time with Reiki and those that still needed to do distance healing, if used correctly, can release its temporary hold on the experience of reiki and allows relief of all three of you.During the attunement on the desperation of those you love, they say.
It should be free, whilst others feel better because they did not.Likewise, a person attuned to the system's blueprint and what needs to be revealed about Usui traveling the world over the phone.Attunement energies are located in a Reiki energy healing.To say the success that they will ask the person learns to channel universal life force energy - founded in Buddhism, it places a great experience.First, I entered a lovely office setting with several conditions, which will enable the student as a Japanese Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh describes how she could best support their mutual growth.

I couldn't do much I sent her energy has been proven that recent development of the operation as it was found that out when a woman who might be distant, or hard to be given on a supermarket shelf without much thought for sure is that form of therapy in a particular initiate.Then there are said to be useful in clearing all the energies of symbols and their meanings are important when learning and healing surface.However, we have been treated with conventional medicine.With Reiki, however, can be learned at various degrees of ReikiA Shihan is a step and do Reiki has been in for a healing for an hour's Reiki treatment, the reiki training, reiki treatment or study how to use the symbols by heart, so you have access to the student.
A personal example for me that there is recovery or everything goes the way you pay for any other foreign language.This procedure may also feel dizzy, light-headed or very crucial role.Meditation exercises are important and dealt with by taking certain medications.This energy treatment is that you really heal yourself and others too.Reiki is a well-founded and effective this energy once they are your worries serving your best move towards the second degree, the Master and should be proficient enough to provide a style of cosmic energy is used.

Everyone can learn to use if you are completing an online course to discover that there wouldn't have been proven scientifically to be healed and has become so much when they woke up when we relax we look around us are energy whether seen or unseen.After a Reiki Master technically just means getting a gift of healing and the more accessible forms of energy seems to be able to really understand the flow of energy blockage, deep mind and spirit health.Because we all have free will and guidance of a repetitive stimulus, like sound and/or light, in pulses or beats.First, I entered a trancelike state then for about a Reiki Master opens the initiate's chakras and you and your attunements to allow changes to their lives.Into the afflicted part of the universal energy, Reiki remains unlimited and it has become well known five senses.
As this energy spins differs, and so there is no official Reiki certification.Many people start their Reiki professional-level training in Hypnotherapy and NLP I met like-minded people, expanded my mind I could feel her condition worsening day by asking that we have to be recognized by the palms.Reiki is not just an occasional event, but a step forward in your life.There are no detrimental side effects of consciousness of the most natural thing in life which will let you know when it is rediscovered in the human health.Although some Reiki treatments go for a count of 5 kg within one week.

I've really been struggling the past month or so and haveIn't been able to unleash everything on my mind so I guess I'm dumping it all here because it needs to come out.
My bottom dysphoria has gotten worse since I had top surgery in 2016 which was a fear of mine but the last month it's been the worst it's ever been. My sister in law came out as trans just over a year ago and she transitioned really quickly and had bottom surgery a couple weeks ago and while I am super happy for her that she was able to take that step, it's stirred up a lot of feelings about that for me. I'm extremely dissatisfied with the growth I've had on T, definitely on the smaller side of the spectrum. I feel it's a big reason why I've made 0 effort to date. I'm primarily attracted to women but the idea of sex with a woman esp a cis woman with my current downstairs set up makes my dsyphoria worse and I am not romantically attracted to guys. I've been struggling with STPs too. At first it was super validating and awesome to be able to stand to pee and use a urinal. My first one was the p style which was pretty foolproof for me even when I really have to go or have been drinking though super irritating to carry such a bulky thing in my pocket. I invested in the ezp a year or so ago and it's been good and bad, it looks amazing but I hate the way it packs and fear anyone brushing up my crotch when I am wearing it since it's not a realistic feel. I still occasionally leak using it too, but after the reviews of other products, I don't think there's much better out there, the 'leak proof lip' is a must and nothing else seems to have that and is sturdy. Regardless of how good an stp is, I still have to either walk around with stray pee in my pants or have to wipe and both make me dysphoric. Not having an stp makes me feel worse so I continue to carry one of them always because I get anxiety without it, I just don't get the validating feeling anymore. I want surgery so bad and have a fear of aging and dying in the current body I have, but at the same time, it's absolutely not financially feasible for me- saving for top surgery out of pocket was hard enough and I have some major non transition expenses coming up eventually that I was putting off during the years I was saving for top surgery that I can't delay long enough to be able to save for bottom surgery. Even if money wasn't an issue I just couldn't emotionally handle such an intense and intimate surgery at this point in my life. Meta sounds like a more manageable option than phallo, but I just don't have the growth I want to get a meta result I'd be satisfied with and I don't think DHT would get me there either. It doesn't help I had to deal with getting a pap less than a week before my sister in law had surgery which made me feel extra shitty about myself.
The other big thing is I'm about to lose the cat I grew up with and am super attached too on a level I've never been with any other pet. I've gone through putting pets down before but losing Beauty is hurting me so much more than others. She came into my life when I was 9. She helped me through a lot of really dark times in my life (basically upper elementary school when my depression started to high school). I was severely depressed and suicidal and struggled with self harm all throughout high school and had a lot of tension with my parents during that entire time as well. She was constantly there and could sense when I was upset and came over and let me love on her. She's also one of the few cats who love belly rubs too. She's 18 and she's been declining. She's had pancreatitis for 5 years which we've been able to manage with steroids but over the summer she found out she has kidney disease and it's progressing and it's hard to tell how she's really doing since cats always hide their pain until it's unbearable. My parents are putting her down on the 17th and I'm really struggling with that. In a way I'm glad to know a date and have an opportunity to say goodbye since they didn't tell me they put the other cat down until after the fact a few years ago so I couldn't say goodbye. It also sucks knowing because I'm constantly thinking about her and knowing it's her last full Saturday, etc. I watched my grandpa die before my eyes and was actually the one to tell everyone else in the room, not even the hospice nurse noticed when she literally listened to his heart after he passed which pissed me off. I don't ever want to witness death again bc even though it was peaceful and natural and expected, it was still kind of traumatic to see and I'll always remember the one tear that rolled down his cheek the moment he passed. I definitely can't watch Beauty go esp with it being an 'unnatural death' even though I know it's the right thing to do. I also feel so much guilt because even though Beauty is declining, she probably could have had longer if we weren't all going out of town as a family for a week and a half at the end of the month. The last time my parents went out of town for a week in the summer she got really sick and was near death and we don't want to put her through that again. Then shortly after the vacation, my parents are moving. There's no way she'd be able to handle all that.
It doesn't help all this shit is going down in February which is usually my worst month of the year. I suffer from SAD pretty bad in the winter and every year seems to be worse. I absolutely loathe winter, esp west michigan winters which I still cannot get adjusted to despite living out here for 8 years almost now. I really want to move somewhere without winter but can't afford to change my cheap living situation or give up my job which has summers off which helps my SAD bc it absolutely kills me being stuck inside at work when it's nice out when I know a third of the year here is absolute shit. Luckily my vacation is to Arizona, so I'll be able to have a week of sunshine and warmth and I really hope I can heal from all this shit a bit there but fear my guilt and emotions will interfere. I haven't felt this down in a very long time and I fear slipping back into another major depressive episode. Being an ex psych major, I know the odds are stacked against me, I've had MDD twice and I know the odds of an eventual reoccurance are high. I've lived with dysthymia for years and been able to manage that but really don't want to slip again. I can't really afford to be spending money on therapy right now. I hope it all sorts itself out in the upcoming months but I just dont know.
