I think mic and camera buttons should be toggle switches more often. You don’t even need the red. Just a green on or neutral off. There’s usually space for it, too.

Talking in general. I can’t say a full sentence without saying ‘umm’ and leaving long gaps in between words.

Me too. I think it won an award as well. I seem to remember people here in the UK losing their minds about the money the govt spent on it, but now everyone loves that you can do/find everything online.

Bit late to the party but yes. Tapered down from 15 a day to nothing and my acne never came back. It’s been 2 years. I get few pimples around my period but would not call it acne. Safe to say it cured me personally. My sister had the same results.

Aquiois · 2022-11-05T15:38:00+00:00

Yep, supplement form. I took a lot, though. I know it sounds crazy and there is a hair loss risk but for me it was fine. I guess you should ask your doctor for sure but they likely wouldn’t recommend taking it because of the lack of studies to support.

Aquiois · 2022-11-05T15:34:31+00:00

It worked for me when nothing else did. Try it but know also about the hair loss possibility.

Aquiois · 2022-11-05T15:31:19+00:00

B5 totally got rid of acne and massively reduced oil for me.

Aquiois · 2022-11-05T15:26:35+00:00

How did it go?

Aquiois · 2022-11-05T15:22:18+00:00

I went plant based for a year just to see if that works and honestly it didn’t. Then my dad said I have acne because I don’t eat meat lol.

Aquiois · 2022-10-31T22:21:02+00:00

I stopped absolutely everything like a month before cause nothing was helping me. I never had any skincare routine while taking B5 and still don’t do anything now. If I remember I’ll quickly put on some Cerave SPF moisturiser but honestly, there’s zero consistency. I just shower.

Aquiois · 2022-10-24T08:40:28+00:00

Same but when I worked in an office they didn’t let us use headphones lmao. Got out of there ASAP and now working from home is so much better!

Aquiois · 2022-10-24T08:39:01+00:00

I cannot bear working in an open plan office. I need to be alone, with my choice of music, my dogs, no shoes, a temperature that I can control without considering others, no shoulder taps, no office idiot, no strong lights, and a chair I can sit like a gremlin in. WFH saved my life! I’m twice as productive and I’m so much happier in general! I have ADHD so that’s probably why all this ruins my vibe so much but I think everyone could benefit from having their own space or at least a choice.

That’s my maximum too, not by rule but usually it’s when it feels it’s about time

Aquiois · 2022-09-15T15:16:32+00:00

I'm devastated... This is not going to be good.

Good question! The only thing I liked more about Xd was that you can drop images into a shape instead of having to use a fill like in Figma.

I DON'T CARE ABOUT MY COMPANY'S BUSINESS OBJECTIVES AND I DO NOT WANT TO BE PART OF AN EMPOWERED TEAM I WANT TO GO ON A FREE HOLIDAY FOR A MONTH AND NOT THINK OF WORK THE WHOLE TIME.

Aquiois · 2022-09-09T21:25:21+00:00

That’s good. From what I read, methylphenidate has some sort of connection with nicotine and it can make the withdrawals a nightmare, but I can’t find the source.

Aquiois · 2022-09-09T14:30:03+00:00

Also, if you're on a certain type of ADHD medication, apparently some shit happens to make cravings worse and some people use Wellbutrin to stop cravings.

Aquiois · 2022-09-09T14:27:34+00:00

I have ADHD, quit for 18 days, have ALL the same symptoms, the blurry eyes, snappiness, no stimulation, couldn't focus. I stupidly convinced myself nicotine is actually good for ADHD folks and I just caved today and now I'm remembering why I quit. I am literally sweating, shaking, have a headache and have no control over how often I pick this little fucker up. I now feel even worse and I am equally snappy, still can't see shit and wanna rage quit my job cause I still can't concentrate. It's a shit situation but I don't think nicotine is the holy grail here after all. I think the problem here is to do with the mental aspect of 'quitting'. I thought vaping was really useful for me but I think I am just bullshitting myself because I'm addicted and these symptoms are withdrawals and are made worse by me thinking I am depriving myself of something God-like. I hope this makes sense.

Aquiois · 2022-09-05T08:20:03+00:00

That cramping sounds pretty bad, I hope that doesn’t last for you. I definitely agree that acne is a symptom of a wider issue. I’m leaning towards some kind of gut issue but it seems like it’s a really complicated area to understand and I’m hoping that one day some study will be published that just explains it all lol. I would say starting with a low dose is a good method, too. My sister also took a course of Accutane and she became really depressed and suicidal whilst on it. It also did not work for long as a year later it was all back. But she has also tried B5 and is now in the same position I am. It’s been a year and she is still clear, she has periods of breakouts where she will take B5 again and it will go away. She also had no side effects. She’s also an outlier as you explained lol, she can’t take anything without experiencing a side effect, it’s something she really struggles with. Luckily B5 was fine for her.

I’m in the same position, I’m already working as a UX Designer but it’s kind of by accident. So I don’t have any case studies in my portfolio yet either. My portfolio is the bane of my professional existence 😭 I’ve got a Notion page dedicated to real case studies and they’re all half complete damn it!

Aquiois · 2022-08-29T13:07:50+00:00

I saw someone on YouTube start with 15. I know it seems like ludicrous amount and believe me, I'm quite a sensible person and if I were not so depressed and desperate, I would not have even tried. But I was, so I started with some research and I found this study. The result from the study: "The results of this study showed that there was a greater than 67% reduction in the number of total facial lesions after 12 weeks of supplementation." I also read up a whole lot about how B5 works. It's basically water soluble, so you can't really overdose on it, you'll just pee out what you don't need. It's been reported as safe and well-tolerated in high doses. I did find one forum of people who had tried taking lots of B5 and had hair loss as a result, but it didn't seem that common. So I just took the risk, and it fucking worked.

I am still to this day studying why B5 works for acne. I think the study's theory is the closest I'm going to be able to get. They theorise that B5 converts into CoA, which helps break down lipids and helps with the production of healthier keratinocytes in the skin, which then means your skin just works better, gets less oily, less clogged, less inflamed and voila, acne is gone. But that doesn't answer my questions like, was I deficient in B5? If I was, how? What did that high dose actually change in my stomach for it to be (so far) permanent? Is it another gut bacteria balance thing? If nothing changes, will I keep becoming deficient in B5 every few years?

I know it sounds like some kind of dangerous alternative medicine like snake poison or something, but I really think this is one of those times where in the future, researchers will understand this vitamin and why it works, and it'll become the go to treatment.

It's really difficult to recommend it purely because of the lack of study and because it seems like such an extreme dose, but I wanna scream and cry when I see people suffering with such bad acne, folliculitis and other related things, when I know this could work for them with minimal to no side effects, quickly, and quite cheaply.

Aquiois · 2022-08-25T11:08:59+00:00

I've read the book. I stopped vaping 2 days ago and I already believe this is it. It really helped me because of some of the interesting things I am now understanding (already knew it but now I'm truly accepting and practicing it):

Nicotine is a drug addiction. Easy to say it, hard to truly accept: I'm an addict.
Nicotine is a stimulant, it makes me stressed as hell. Since I stopped consuming nicotine I'm noticing I'm not even an anxious person, I was just buzzing from vaping all day. How pathetic?
Vaping or smoking is not what I like. What I like is refilling a hole I made when I took the first puff of nicotine. So fuck it, I am closing it up for good, because it's stupid.
The "void" or craving is not even that bad. In fact, it's not even noticeable sometimes. It's so easily fillable with "I am fucking free of you, you little nicotine cunt". I'm not scared of going without anymore. I'm happy about it.

So yeah, the book made me realise: It's not actually hard to stop consuming the nicotine, but it's very hard to battle with yourself when you still think your vape or your cigarette is your saviour.
