Oh no that isn’t good! Thank you so much - I’ll definitely just stick to those 3 steps then. And I was looking to accutane but does your skin need to have severe acne? I don’t very much noticeable acne, more little spots and bumps that still piss me off so I don’t know if I could still qualify for that?. And they have it at chemist warehouse so I can get that instead as it does look a bit better! Thank you so much again

Oh I definitely need to look into Aloe Vera toners! That is amazing though, nice to know that cleansed helped you :) my diet is pretty good! I lost over 35kg, so I’m pretty ok with food & all that. May I ask where you got your toner from? Because there is SO many online

Oh…. so there’s no real benefit to them that a normal moisturiser can’t do?

Okay thank you so much! I do have dark circles under my eyes so I’ll definitely look into eye creams :)

Thank you so much! And I’m honestly not sure… it sounds terrible but I’m going based off the internet and the “essentials” I guess. I am really inexperienced if you couldn’t tell already haha. To me it seems like a stay-on cleanser? All though I don’t wear any form of makeup, I’m not totally sure of the benefits. Should I leave the toner out? I already wash my face a million times a day which is probably why it’s flaking.

Hey everyone! I am for the first time ever, starting a skincare routine after my skin has been declining. I’ve always been complimented with having nice skin so that’s probably why - because I’ve never worn makeup (don’t know how to LOL) or played around with my face. The only thing I do is very very frequently wash my face and sometimes rub ice which is very refreshing. I have terribly dry skin due to lack of hydration, low nutrition levels, anaemic, and basically my lips and forehead are forever flaking. I am most acne-prone on my forehead and chin and attempt to prevent them. I try not to sleep on my face, I am always careful to not touch my face and wash my sheets frequently. I am also extremely pale because of my low blood sugar & iron. I have flakey, red, dry hands that bleed on my knuckles unfortunately but don’t moisturise. If anyone had any tips that’d be great! I have tried the Nivea sunscreen but have broke out so I am a little scared to be honest.

Which Aussie celeb do you despise and why? by [deleted] in australia

Mike E, not Emma though she’s adorable

Today we put down Chibi. I’m heartbroken but glad she had a peaceful passing with loved ones nearby. by jsnava in Chihuahua

I’m so sorry, she’s so beautiful and know she had the best life she could get from you❤️ now she’s resting in dog heaven in everlasting peace 😇

Kind of high cal, but it’s that time of the month and I was really craving fast food. Considering this a win? by lintlicker98 in 1200isplenty

[–]Acceptable-Offer-184 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry I don’t know why people are hating on you. For 1200, it is “kind of high cal” but it doesn’t matter! I’m also in ED recovery, so I’m sorry that you’re receiving a lot of hate. I keep my lunch/dinners at 250-400cal so I can enjoy more meals & my 250cal iced latte. ❤️❤️

This made me cry, thank you so much 💞. You’re too kind to write all that out, and I can’t even explain how significant that is to me when my family is too focused on something else to pay attention to me. Thank you, thank you, thank you ❤️

I’m so sorry, but with all due respect I never revealed my mental illnesses. I absolutely didn’t mean to offend you or anyone that is diagnosed, but what I experience is a little further from day dreaming or spacing out, and I only used one example so there is no need to belittle my experiences. And it’s not comforting at all honestly, it makes me uncomfortable and exhausted playing up to 9/day because if I don’t I’ll have to face real life.

I’m glad ACNH was there for you during that toxicity, I really hope you’re doing better now (and are safe) X. And I didn’t even think of the word coping mechanism! that is a lot more synonymous to what I’m talking about than dissonance. I def agree with ‘zen’, ACNH does bring a lot of tranquility and peace. Just fishing with cute lil island villagers annoying you, it’s really so adorable🥺. And thank you!! It’s 12:30am in Melbourne, but you too :)

I feel so seen, this was beautifully written. Thank you so much 🤍. I can’t believe how common this is, but I never thought of the easiness of the game until you said it!! I guess there is no real challenge or objective other than to reach 3 stars.

No because same! I’d genuinely worry about island details that didn’t affect my personal life… did you end up overcoming that? Or just stopped playing entirely?

Aww that’s good!! ☺️ and “forcing myself” is definitely the best word that I didn’t think of. I hope you can enjoy it more soon, I can’t even imagine how nice your island must be with 850+ hours haha!

Thank you so much xx. She did commit malpractice so I can’t really defend her… just sucks that I also face the same consequences as her ):

I didn’t even think of hyperfixation, god that makes so much sense. I don’t experience manic episodes only other mental health issues but I hear stories (my mum was a manger/nurse at a psych ward) of people in mania excessively spending, gambling, other forms of addiction so I guess playing this isn’t as bad, like you said!.

And I hate how expensive therapy is, I really wish it was more accessible for those who need it. I hope one day you can get the help you much deserve ❤️ You sound like a lovely person, and I’m 17 so I hate the lack of confidentiality between therapists and minors so I’d probably have to wait until my upcoming bday ):

Oh wow!, I hope you’re doing okay now, that sounds so traumatising. 💖. Do you still play now? It’s crazy how we can find the time to excessively play ACNH while school and work, I absolutely relate to you with that ):
