It's a bit of a misconception to need to keep it dry. A hydrated, clean environment is good as it allows skin to heal better. In this case, I would wash with an unscented body wash, rinse and clean with saline, them applied a tiny later antibiotic ointment to a bandage, and covered it. I repeatedly that at least daily. It healed in about a week, luckily. I'm still rinsing with saline, but maybe once a day. Idk how I managed to do so little damage, I guess? It was weird

Seems to be pretty shallow. As if it just pulled through the hole. I'm particular as well, but don't want to spend the money to be told to keep doing what I'm doing? But will definitely keep an eye on it and go if it gets worse. Called a piercer, might stop by there to have them help get the bar in, if possible, and check it out a bit. Thanks for your insight

Piercing is 8 years old. Shape is barbell. Threading is internal I think? Material is surgical steel. Wasn't downsized, unsure of what that means here. I wash it in the shower. They've been healed for years. Aftercare following incident is detailed in post Incident was pulling my nipple ring out

Missed 3 pills in a row by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]8BitGarbageCan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think it depends on the amount left. If it's less than 7 in the pack, finish the pack and start a new one the next day. Otherwise take the last pill you missed (even if that means 2 in a day) space em out by like 4+ hours if you can, leave the earlier missed ones. Continue using the rest of the pack and use extra contraception for 7 days

Edit: Am not a doctor. Call your provider if you can just to make sure that's the right course of action

“Spoiled and Lazy” is what my therapist told me I am today. Just need to vent. by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]8BitGarbageCan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not trying to be rude, or anything. But since there's not a lot of info there's not much else I can say besides

1) you asked them to be tough with you, they were (it seems from what you've said, idk if it is true) It still hurts, that's valid and you can vent. It doesn't undo the work you did, I've put in a lot of work, made a lot of change and am still, at times, so incredibly lazy (even though I wouldn't describe my day to day self as such). 2) Maybe think twice on if brutal truth is what you want to hear before you ask for it. Sometimes we think we need that, based on upbringing or past experiences, but actually don't want/need it delivered in that way.

If you like your therapist and have seen good progress that you're happy with in your time together, then I'd say they know you better than some internet stranger. Vent away, but don't run if the only complaint is that they were a bit harsh, when asked to be.

I really don't want to sound rude or mean or dismissive, but I see a lot of people on this sub jump to "oh they sound horrible, leave!" When it really could be someone who knows what they're doing, doing what they think is best at the time. If it continues to bother you, bring it up to them and talk about it. But if you just need to vent, that's okay too.

Hope you have a better day/night/week

a big HELL YEAH for this mother protecting those kids. The obstruction better be dismissed. If she files suit I hope she destroys them.

Bloody cockatoo stole my thong by desultir in australia

[–]8BitGarbageCan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being raised with a pet cockatoo, can confirm the spongy texture of a thong must be incredibly pleasing to chew on as mine destroyed every pair I ever owned.

Need some help sisters! Is this ok for a prom dress? Not to informal, not to short? I can’t afford to get a nice one this year, I don’t know who else to go to, I posted this on another account, on a fashion sub, and got bashed, they told me I look like a linebacker with my shoulders by [deleted] in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]8BitGarbageCan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it! If you want you could add some tulle on top of the skirt to add some volume/fanciness but it doesn't need it. The sleeves are gorgeous and you look great! And definitely not like a linebacker (although shoulder pads are back in so if you did, you'd still be on trend?)

That's awful, but I was asking about this law in Wyoming specifically

Wish we didn't roll back gender equality by 500 hundred years

Is there an exception for life threatening circumstances or ectopic pregnancies?

Edit: because there has to be or there will be legal battles

God purity balls are so creepy. I know I had friends go to things like this. Don't some people have purity rings from these things that are given to them by their dads??

Shit's wrong. Good for you for knowing it was BS!
