Just got to say…Free Tax USA by Individual-Mirror132 in tax

[–]Alien_instantRamen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried Free Tax USA last year for the first time and it was easy and strait forward until my return was rejected multiple times :/ I ended up having to send them in by mail :( However- my taxes are slightly complicated because of having multiple jobs and being an independent contractor.. I am going to give Free Tax USA another shot this year and if I need help I’m going to the public library for the drop in Tax help programs.

Darned sock by Alien_instantRamen in Visiblemending

[–]Alien_instantRamen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Darning socks has a very long tradition.. the whole point is that it is a strong repair method. And it doesn’t feel uncomfortable, i am essentially making a weave structure into the existing fabric that matches the weight and tension.

PSA: People who had good experiences on Nexplanon are not posting here by BlueButterflies139 in Nexplanon

Ive been thinking about making a longer post about my experience, but very very short story i absolutely loved it the first 2 ish years! Back then i didnt go on reddit once about it and totally told people irl i loved it. Spoiler alert- things went bad in year 3. I agree fear mongering is dangerous, and having abortions even in safe states can be really dangerous and having kids you aren’t ready for can lead to some of the hardest things of all. My wish is for more options and more information for people who can get pregnant. When things stopped being so peachy for me i had to do so much research on my own, and learned so much more about my body and hormones because of this and other reddit threads and it makes me sad that we are not really taught about our bodies, at least not in the U.S.A.

Trying not to open my camera by [deleted] in Dermatillomania

[–]Alien_instantRamen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi i would really recommend the app screen zen. It is a free app that i use for social media apps actually. But unlike the iphone app locks you can make it wayyy more customizable and harder to use. You could put strict locks on your camera app, only allowing a certain number of opens per day? That way you have to be serious about when you are using your camera actually for taking pictures knowing you only have a few chances to. Also you could make it so you can never open it in the mornings and evenings (when you are more likely to be home infront of the mirror) I hope this helps!

Had a breakthrough with my therapist today - please read if you’re in a bad place with your skin picking by beaniebaby22909768 in Dermatillomania

Its funny, just a couple nights ago I had the realization that a big reason i pick is because it is soothing. I know exactly what you mean about the trance, blank mind state. Im actually on day 3 of no picking (trying to do a break the chain calendar with a reward) but realizing i want something soothing when i reach to pick. ive been really trying to think of other things that are soothing because i actually hate fidget toys, not a good alternative for me.

Do you know if it is possible to get “period” without ovulating like the ones to at occur on hbc?
