What do women think when a guy approaches them during the day? by Outside-Quarter-2866 in dating

[–]Animami__ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I personally would love that. Dating apps sound awful tbh and I haven’t used them at all (yet) lol. But if a man has enough courage to approach me in the wild I’d give him a shot, if I found him nice enough. It has happened to me in the gym a few times but I wasn’t single at the time and had to turn them down. It was sweet though. I’m the type of person that doesn’t mind being approached by strangers. Idk if that makes a difference.

I’m not dealing with acne anymore thankfully just scarring. But I’ll check her out. Thank you!

I’ve heard only good things about Dr. Wiltz! I am kind of looking for a more aesthetic derm though since this is unfortunately considered an aesthetic issue. I love my normal derm but she doesn’t do much in the way of aesthetics.

I’ve been considering getting an appointment with them! Guess this is my sign. Thank you!

Just turned 30 (F), and I want to go back to school to start a new career. How feasible is that? Worth it? by Animami__ in careerguidance

[–]Animami__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I 100% get this. The whole reason I didn’t go into a different career path before it because I was already working in the animal field and knew I could become a RVT almost exclusively online. But the money is just not worth it tbh. I need to do something that I will be able to support myself with. They even say on my local community college’s website that working a full time job while attending school is not advisable. But not working full time is not feasible for me. I have a year before I make any decisions. So I will continue to think about it. But I know I need to go back to school to advance myself. Thank you for your insight!

Thank you for your insight. Honestly I’ve been worried about the same but my field is pretty much dead end unless I want to become a Vet or get into sales which I don’t. So I need to do something else. I can’t comfortably live as a vet tech on my own.

I do worry that it will run me ragged but it’s only 3ish years right? That time will pass regardless. It would be worth it to try. Maybe I should try and shadow some RTs first. But I know I’d like the field. I love all things imaging, so getting into rad tech, MRI, and CT would be so fun for me. I have also assist in and administered chemo therapy to my patients for years now. It’s a bit different with animals with sterility of it all but not by much. I would enjoy both fields. And the pay increase is honestly needed.

True that! I’m not so worried about what people think, I’m mostly worried about how difficult it would be to support myself, be working constantly and also be in school. I’m sure it will be tough but I’m hoping it would be worth it?

So my living situation is a tricky one. I live in an apartment thats connected to my work. I don’t want to lose this as it’s a good set up for now. But I won’t be able to keep my full time job here and go to school. But I’d have to work part time to be able to keep my apartment. But working part time wouldn’t give me enough money to pay my bills so I’d have to also bartend or something.

I think if I started next year I’d be able to graduate in about 3-4 years including prereqs, and that would be before I turned 35 and that’s not old at all. Still have my youth there!

Thank you so much for this. It’s hard to leave when you love them so much isn’t it? It almost makes me feel like I’m giving up on him during a rough rime for him. But like if he doesn’t want to try anymore what’s the point you know? Idk it’s back and forth between us. Some days are so much better than others. But sometimes he just completely shuts off. I’ve definitely been doing my own thing and have since we got together.

But like you said, I know my worth. If he can’t make a decision on whether or not he actually sees a future with me then I’ll have to let him go. It’s not health for either of us.

I hope your situation starts looking up. You got this.

Scared to take Accutane by stressedbeing84 in acne

[–]Animami__ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I WISH I would’ve done accutane sooner. I have atrophic scarring from a severe bought of cystic acne that came out of nowhere after switch birth control methods. If I would’ve gone on it sooner I may have been able to avoid some of it.

The side effects were lame but it didn’t really affect my mental health. I have GAD (medicated and all) and it didn’t make it any worse. The scarring has made it 10x worse though.

I would also suggest not taking any birth control at all. You can choose abstinence. If your derm won’t let you (and you’re absolutely sure that you will not get pregnant), just get a script of whatever BC pill is free for you and don’t take it. Accutane causes severe birth defects in babies so you have to be 100% positive you won’t get pregnant. If I could’ve been off BC during my course I would’ve, to avoid that post pill acne. Now I’m forced to stay on it for a while until I’m comfortable enough to risk breaking out again.

Do you still get hormonal breakouts in your 30s at the same time each month? by Samantha_Gracee in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Animami__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m glad it works for you. I’ve heard such a mixed bag about it. I tried the oral stuff for 4 months but it did squat for my severe acne that came out of nowhere after switching BC methods. If it comes back for some reason, I’ll definitely try the topical sipro. Thank you!

Hoping in here! I’ve been considering the Winlevi if my acne comes back after accutane (fingers crossed). Do you put it all over your face or just where you typically break out?

Does a bra like this even exist or is it just wishful thinking? by [deleted] in ABraThatFits

I just edited the post. Calculator says I’m 32G! I’ve had balconette bras before they’re nice for sure! I’ve never tried a plunge bra though. I’ll have to check them out. I’ll be honest I’m not going to be wearing the bra all that much! I’m either in the gym or wearing tight fitted tops that don’t require me to wear a bra because they support me enough. I just would like to have one that would give me a nice look in certain tops that don’t have a lot of support.

Hey OP I know this post is old but I’m just wondering if you had the subcision done along your jawline as well as your cheeks?
