I watched an episode of Oprah when I was maybe 12 and learned to fold a fitted sheet. It’s really not difficult. But if rolling it in a ball and stuffing it in a pillowcase works for you, more power to ya.

Highly suggest reading the book Boundaries by Drs. Cloud and Townsend. Or any other book on the subject. If you don’t like reading, watch some videos from experts. If people are treating like a punching bag and you’re calling them friends, sounds like you have a need for some strong boundaries.

Not the same story at all. But my mother has NPD and I had zero understanding of boundaries or self worth until I was in my mid-20s. Learning about boundaries was life changing for me. I cannot recommend them enough.

My nostrils are about 1/3 the diameter of the average person, meaning I get roughly 1/9 the air volume. This is my life every night when trying to get to sleep.

Several essentials oils have been studied and found to be helpful with bruises and pain. Lavender is probably the most common. Arneca, turmeric, frankincense as well.

My husband had a NASTY bruise on the top of his foot. Bruising covered almost the entire top of his foot and he could barely wear a shoe. Lavender essential oil help dissipate the bruising quite quickly.

Side note: Never use essential oils undiluted.
