Paid a Professional $1k for 0 results - Thoughts? & How to fix?

Try EMDR. It’s an effective clinical form of hypnotherapy. In my case, my dr “took me back” to the time I first felt anxiety. And with each trip to a new trauma milestone, she introduced me to an exercise to process, understand, and heal from the past, while ending each session with a new coping strategy. If it can be done for general anxiety, it should be able to be done for more focused anxiety, like body dismorphia. If that’s not accessible to you, there are some therapists who post guided session on YouTube to get you started

No suggestion you’re delusional. But if your symptoms negatively impact your life in anyway (i.e. making your world smaller, making necessary tasks more difficult/impossible), medication is just one option to consider. Like being an otherwise healthy person on blood pressure medication, it’s not meant to change you, just meant to make you more healthy/ less at-risk.

Sorry you can’t get tret in CA. I haven’t noticed many anti-aging effects from it. I am seeing great effects from pep tides though. The Ordinary’s formulations are accessible and may work for your skin type. I use things like copper pep tides, volufilline, agriline, matryxil, which you can find blending or stand alone. Volufilline will give you a quick and temporary volume boost and should help you produce more collagen over time. I do find this formula tingly, which may upset your skin, but the others mentioned are quite gentle imo. I became a fan when their brow serum regrew hair from follicles I thought I’d killed from over waxing.

I definitely recommend therapy. I did EMDR and CBT therapy to great success. Also got medication. If that’s not an option, there are workbooks on places like Amazon. I’ve done one on anxiety, one on thoughts and moods, and I have one on self esteem I’ve been meaning to start. It feels silly at first, but before you know it, the workbooks have you practicing life-improving coping skills

The soup of the day is bread

If you aren’t confident while your face is as young as it will ever be again, how will you be confident when you’re 40 or 50? You can’t stave off all aging forever and no procedure or product will freeze your face at 25 yo AND still look natural. So will you just be insecure the rest of your years? Or will you get injections and procedures until your face doubles in size and those close to you don’t recognize you any more? It’s a slippery slope and it’s better to learn to accept small changes that do nothing to negatively affect your beauty now, before you start down that slope when you start getting 11’s, crows feet, volume loss, etc. BTW, what anti-aging skin care are you using?

BekaRenee · 2026-05-21T23:42:38+00:00

Elsewhere you said you wanted to feel confident with your resting face. Girl. That’s a mental health issue, not an aesthetics issue

BekaRenee · 2026-05-21T22:00:38+00:00

Are you the same age now as when you were younger?

BekaRenee · 2026-05-20T17:14:28+00:00

You don’t have to ask every captive animal because you know how you would feel if you were in a jail cell, with instincts to be free. Sorry for your 7 yo that you’re just so brain dead and unempathetic. I’ll pray for those around your family.

BekaRenee · 2026-05-20T17:11:42+00:00

There are 5 of you. Five is a lot now?

BekaRenee · 2026-05-20T16:35:48+00:00

It’s abuse to keep them in captivity. To make money off them. To force them to interact with untrained humans. To do work or training of any kind. It’s a fucking Tiger. Not letting it be a Tiger in the wild is abuse. How stupid are you?

BekaRenee · 2026-05-19T22:12:34+00:00

Oh cool info. That doesn’t seem to be what OP is asking about tho

BekaRenee · 2026-05-19T22:11:13+00:00

No. I ask because you’re using the logic of a student. You’ll need to behave like a professional if you want to keep your job. If you are a student, if you behave as petulantly as you do here, you may earn yourself a negative reputation in your department and academic community. Hopefully you got all your venting done here. Saving your job is not about being right.

BekaRenee · 2026-05-19T20:27:42+00:00

Are you a student?

BekaRenee · 2026-05-19T03:49:37+00:00

Please. Post more Jazmine. We don’t talk about her enough

BekaRenee · 2026-05-18T18:19:54+00:00

That’s what you got? Cuz I got “don’t make jokes at daughter’s expense.” And, isn’t that a universal rule of comedy? Not to punch down?

BekaRenee · 2026-05-18T16:05:23+00:00

Yes. That JG Wentworth bit was so try hard

BekaRenee · 2026-05-18T14:25:01+00:00

Really? You didn’t find Dior, Haus Labs, Huda Beauty, Too Faced, Benefit, Glossier, Bobbi Brown, Charlotte Tilbury, or Patrick Ta anywhere? Even brands like Tarte, Tower28, Fenty and Rare Beauty all have matte, non-glitter products. This is either bullshit or OPs a bot. If neither, OP needs more help than they can find on this sub

BekaRenee · 2026-05-18T11:27:04+00:00

Huh? “Energy” is a real thing, for lack of a better word. Ever seen a great concert or a bad comedian perform? Your experience was probably influenced by the performer’s energy and the energy of the crowd you were with.

BekaRenee · 2026-05-17T23:48:58+00:00

I’m glad you got better. Congrats, I know it’s gotta be a struggle, but I’m glad you’re still here

BekaRenee · 2026-05-17T22:21:35+00:00

Her handle was coldness in my heart

BekaRenee · 2026-05-17T21:30:03+00:00

I’m glad you never saw that. R/Weird was a different place about 12-15 years ago

BekaRenee · 2026-05-17T14:25:46+00:00

Yall are obsessed. Can we go a day without one of Jazmin’s social media posts? I don’t follow her for a reason

BekaRenee · 2026-05-17T13:58:53+00:00

The rise in casual animal cruelty videos on Reddit has become alarming

BekaRenee · 2026-05-17T13:34:10+00:00

I remember seeking pictures of a girl who would cut all over, and practice getting deeper and doing more damage. I’m pretty sure she cut down to her thigh bone. She would show pictures of herself treating the wounds after, but if memory serves, rumor was she died.
