I dont think I want to go through postpartum again, this shit sucks even 5 months later. I hate my body, my hair is awful, my skin is worse. I have an overhang from a c-section that wasnt planned.

So I’ve been having ongoing issues with my neighbour constantly playing excessively loud music all hours of the day. I’ve spoken to him a couple of times and he’s quieter for a bit and then it starts going up and up. Tonight we have been woken up to the loudest music ever and lads shouting over the top of it. Obviou...
