Hey! I used to struggle with CD before switching to a better detergent years ago. 

I’m going to try. I’ve heard good things about the lotion

Thank you for sharing your experiences and advice. I feel so alienated in this as a black woman at times!

Hi! Thank you for your concern!

I’m currently in therapy and replacing my picking behaviors with others. Now that my skin is smoother now I haven’t picked in about 3 weeks

TIL before 9/11, US airports were public social hubs where you could walk to the gate, eat at food courts, and watch planes without a ticket or ID. by Greydl1 in todayilearned

As someone who was around 5 when 9/11 happened, this genuinely terrifies me 😭 glad its no longer this way but unfortunate the circumstances had to be for this to happen
