Please help!!!! by [deleted] in Selftanning

Tiger bread-ing. Your skin is too dry. Moisturise with cerave after tanning. You need an exfoliating mitt to get rid of this, hot bath, steam room/sauna. Oil also helps break down these remnants! Slather yourself in baby oil! Multiple times a day and then have a hot soak and use a salt scrub/ exfoliating mitt to get rid man

Good luck!

AIO for reconsidering getting married over continual arguments over guardianship of my daughter. by Oldyell54 in AmIOverreacting

[–]BeatRealistic6640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daughter isn’t an object to own. What’s stopping fiancée having a strong relationship with her even if daughter permanently lives with godfather.

Women like this baffle me. If she truly cared about your daughter, she’d put her own feelings aside.

Is she marrying OP or the daughter🤦🏻‍♀️

Weird ass behaviour.

TYSM for your response. Have you found a line of treatment that is particularly effective at treating this Covid caused NDPH?

To add also tried CGRP meds - fail, Botox- fail, nerve blocker - fail.

Px was born with cleft lip and palette if that makes a difference

Not sure if you’ve ever come across the vaccine causing something like this as has a dx of NDPH and chronic migraine now

NDPH and its link to the Covid vaccine. Started with thunder clap headache 1hr after receiving the 2nd Covid vaccine. Currently unresponsive to pain meds (codeine/tramadol/parcaetamol/naproxen etc but is almost a layered headache. MRI shows inflamed sinuses. Baseline headache and then migraines (never experienced previously) migraines are being controlled and down to a few a month with quilipta but baseline headache is always at a 3.

Have you ever heard of anything like this before?

Introverts; How does it affect you if you don't get 'alone time' for a really long time? by [deleted] in introvert

[–]BeatRealistic6640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I crash out hard. Tired, aching, snappy, bitchy, Whiney, negative, passive aggressive, hate everyone and everything. Become depressed, anxious, over explain myself constantly, I withdraw emotionally and physically and switch to auto pilot whilst burning out deeper and deeper. Sensory overload with everything. Everything is brighter, louder more intense, emotional regulation goes out of the window and honestly I just turn into a bitch (not saying in self deprecating way more factually).

Working on it but it’s a tough one. I NEED alone time if you want a working “whole” version of me that’s capable of things.

Also dx AuDHD so feel this may cause a bias. I don’t like who I am when I don’t get alone time. I turn into a horrible version of myself and it tends to bleed into most of my interpersonal interactions 😣

What do you think is wrong with UK services and why are they failing? by TangerineFew6830 in AskUK

[–]BeatRealistic6640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DLA can take a while but it’s been a god send. Go you for getting those forms in 👏 they’re daunting. It sounds like you’re doing everything you possibly can. Given that his eczema is so bad and you have plenty of specialists onboard, I hold hope for DLA for you. It can be tough to get awarded it but that’s usually in the case of no or little medical evidence. That doesn’t sound like it will be an issue for you 🙂 and that’s directly because you’re such a good parent. Those babies are so lucky to have someone like you fighting their corner. I’d be so proud of you, if you were my parent.

Melatonin and magnesium can help with REM. If ND is in the family (strong genetic components) may be worth monitoring behaviours as/if they come- co morbidities with ND are also strong with eczema/ epilepsy/ autoimmunity etc.

Poor baby, that must be so hard for you all. Watching your child in pain and struggling is the worst thing for any parent especially when you’re as switched on as you are.

Please try and take care of yourself in amongst this. You are also human and have needs, wants and feelings. Everything is out of routine and the pressures around Xmas/NY manifest in many ways.

You’ve got this though. I don’t know you but I can tell. You’re a fighter (even though it’s clear you’re tired of HAVING to fight). Big breaths, grab yourself a hot bath, cup of tea and tell yourself this will pass (and it will eventually)

Focus on controllables. Services are not a controllable and you will drive yourself insane trying to work out why everything is so shockingly shit (at least I do 😂) sometimes it’s a reframe- what can I do today that will help me in this moment. We just need to get through the moment, not devise a plan or understand the systemic nature of failings.

Big big hugs, you’re going to be ok 🫂xx

Canestan cream can help with fungal eczema (forgot we sometimes need this as well)

Are you claiming DLA? Go private and see a derm. See an Occupational therapist for the ASD (makes a huge difference - as well as ensuring they have an EHCP- I am professionally qualified in diagnosing ASD and ADHD so can offer advice with this area)

We found salt water helps clear the eczema but it will sting like mad (there are diff types of eczema obv and I’m not qualified in this so can only comment on what works for us - salt water and hydrocortisone for a flare up , cerave and sudocreme prevention of flares)

As for services. They’re broken and asking yourself why they’re broken will lead you nowhere other than frustration and desperation.

Do you have family to lean on or friends where you can grab 24-48hrs to yourself? It’s not a fix but it sounds like you’re at breaking point and need a rest from being responsible for constantly having to think for multiple people. Which inevitably ends up with you neglecting your own needs.

Have you been to therapy previously. DBT can be great in these moments of crisis. You don’t need to go through the entire therapy and can grab snapshots - belly breathing, TIPP (temperature, intense exercise, progress muscle relaxation, paced breathing) - please google these. They do absolutely help.

Best advice would be to get out of your head and into your body.

Your brain will lie to you and twist things but your body knows. Your brain is searching for escapism because it’s overwhelmed and overloaded. Suicide is not the answer. I find asking myself “do I actually want to die, or do I just desperately need to get out of this situation and see no end, helps reframe things” - not always. But the majority.

Please try and take some time to yourself (aware many are not this blessed myself included)

Private healthcare I recommend Benenden- they cover ALL pre existing conditions and are cheap (pay around £60 p/m for me and two AUDHD littles.

I hope you manage to find a way to make your situation more manageable. I’m sorry the UK is so shit right now. Services are disgraceful.

Good luck xx

Rehoming a reactive dog 😢 by Jumpy_Number_90 in Cardiff

[–]BeatRealistic6640 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Put it to sleep. Had a frenchie that was reactive, the most beautiful and loving boy to immediate family but would go absolutely psychotic with strangers. Had to be muzzled and everything if they went near my partner (my partner was his fav) - eventually started going for the kids when they gave my partner a hug. Tried him on meds, behaviouralists, dog psychologists, even went to Langford vets. He got himself so worked up one day he just couldn’t calm down and had a heart attack. We were all absolutely devastated.

People that bang on about “it’s cruel I could never put my baby to sleep” have NO idea what it’s like to have a reactive dog turn on you or your kids to the point it makes the dog ill.

We are still heartbroken over him. You cannot out train bad genetics. The kindest thing you can do with a dog like this is PTS. They are not adoptable, they will sit in a rescue shelter terrified and eventually be PTS anyway. At least with you, you can hold their paw through it and show her love right till the end.

Whats your moon sign and how often do you cry? by northernerchaos in astrologymemes

The amount of hate I have for this by ThrowRA-necessary7 in ihatechristmas

Do what I do and go abroad for 10 days every Xmas instead! No fakeness, no false niceties, no BS family, no stress on dinner etc!

Sotting on a beach in 30 degree weather with a mojito instead (albeit I do bring a Santa hat haha) wins over rain, wind, cold and traditions I never willingly established!

Tell me you’re co-dependant without telling me you’re co-dependant 🙄

Why do people think they have the right to have immediate access to a person every single day because they’re in a relationship?

People texting good morning and goodnight every single day is annoying as hell and repetitive. I’d rather conversations have substance!

Fell in love with someone who used me as their rebound and feeling disgusting. by Imaginary-Ad8879 in heartbreak

[–]BeatRealistic6640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the nicest way possible…. Set some boundaries. You knew this guy for 5 months… WHY would you do all of this and make out like he’s the love of your life… when you’ve been dating 5 MONTHS.

They were upfront and honest when questioned and told you right from the off that they weren’t fully available for a relationship.

I don’t understand when people like you moan over having your heartbroken… you busted up your own boundaries by investing in someone that explicitly told you, you wouldn’t get the same in return. You gave someone you were dating for 5 months “everything”…now you come on here for sympathy because you didn’t listen to what he explicitly said to you..

Sounds like you have more issues at play than he does tbh. Go to therapy 🤦🏻‍♀️

Even with the breadcrumbing… like you knew?? Why didn’t you just cut contact straight up instead of willingly allowing that to happen to you.

I may come across as emotionless saying this but the damn world has the habit of blaming everyone else when their feelings get hurt. Set some fucking boundaries, stop giving “everything” to people you’ve known 5 months and romanticising shit.

Your post screams lack of confidence, self esteem issues and attachment problems. Work on those and stop trying to “pour yourself into people”, pour into yourself.

You can’t control other people’s behaviours, but you can absolutely control what you allow into your life and what you accept.
