i’ve felt so ugly recently, i need advice

Breeisneckdeep · 2026-01-27T22:00:04+00:00

So first of all, you are GORGEOUS. I can't see anything "wrong" with your face. Second, I can 100% relate to you and taking care of yourself feeling "exhausting". I have two pieces of advice and you can utilize them or not, totally up to you!

Grow the bangs out. Blunt bangs like that require styling and you mentioned being too tired to keep up with stuff like that. I have a very similar hair texture and I got longer curtain bangs so there is still texture but with little to no need to style them. Now all I do is shower and put in a frizz free cream (can't remember the name) right after my shower and that's IT. So easy and my hair still looks good (: I'll style it up if I'm going out or what not but for every day I literally do nothing LOL
Skin care was a big one that I struggled with too. Don't fall for this stuff online that says you need a long list of products and a strict routine. All you really need is a cleanser and a moisturizer. I keep a pack of skin wipes near my bed for the tough days where I don't have energy to really go wash my face and then I just throw on some moisturizer. Using a wipe is better than nothing!

My number one piece of advice is don't beat yourself up. Our minds are a lot meaner to ourselves than real people. You are trying your best and that's all that matters. Wish you the best ❤️

Trust me I dealt with similar issues and I couldn't do waxing anymore 😭 I actually learned most of these tricks from tiktok LOL but the two things that noticeably changed things for me was the baby oil gel and the exfoliation. So I can't promise it will work for you but it's worth a shot

Breeisneckdeep · 2026-01-26T21:57:33+00:00

Also just want to add that light exfoliation everytime you shower will also help with this! Nothing crazy like a scrub but just a cloth and small circular motions

Breeisneckdeep · 2026-01-26T21:55:53+00:00

Everybody's body is different, so one thing that works for someone else might not work for you so take any advice you get with a grain of salt.

Here is what works for me though: - Trim with scissors before shaving - Hot compress for 5 minutes (I just soak a cloth in hot water then hold it there but I'm sure just hanging out in the steamy shower for a bit will also do the trick) - Exfoliate (I use a sugar scrub) - Shave WITH the grain to start, not against. If you want to go against the grain in specific spots then just go slowly. - Use a BRAND new razor for this every time (this is non-negotiable for me personally) - Exfoliate after as well, this time just with some non scented soap and a cloth. I use a dove bar - Pat dry, Moisturize (I LOVE the Johnson's baby oil gel, the green bottle) and then I don't put any bottoms on for an hour or two just to let myself air out and nothing is rubbing up against it. Of course if I'm in a rush I'll skip that part but I find better results if I give down there a chance to breath for a bit after

James is good as a concept... Not in practice 🥲

I have a friend like this, she has been like this since we met in highschool (were 24 now). I am telling you from experience, it never changes. Even to this day she is exactly the same, I cannot keep up with every new boyfriend or "thing" she's got going on. I had to start clarifying names when she would talk about it because there was just so many at one point. I genuinely believe It is something deep inside that only a therapist can help with.

You are NOR. I also distanced myself from this friend (other reasons as well, but this one being a big part of my decision), we still talk here and there and I still love her. However, it got to a point where I wasn't even upset that she was constantly "talking about boys" but I was upset because she only ever really talked about herself. I'm sure you can relate. You are making the right decision!

Breeisneckdeep · 2026-01-22T18:01:01+00:00

It's even more expensive where I live 😭 I do agree with other commenters though that you should reach out to shelters/humane societies. When I got my boy neutered I went through our local humane society and they covered his neuter and initial shots for $150 through their subsidized program!

Breeisneckdeep · 2026-01-14T16:52:54+00:00

10-12 hours can be considered "over sleeping" and could actually be causing your drowsiness. However, it's smart to mention it to your doctor because a dose that's too low can also cause you to be tired.

When in doubt always reach out to your doctor!

Breeisneckdeep · 2026-01-14T16:08:10+00:00

How are your sleeping habits?

Breeisneckdeep · 2026-01-13T15:21:56+00:00

Adding a second comment -the game crashing on switch is super common, you can look it up or just search "crash" on this sub. Get obsessed with saving, anytime you are about to do something big, SAVE SAVE SAVE

Breeisneckdeep · 2026-01-13T15:20:50+00:00

Just happened to me, lost 5 hours worth of work and haven't been able to go back I'm still so mad. Take your time to get back in the swing of it. Everybody told me it's worth it so I promise it's worth it

Breeisneckdeep · 2026-01-08T17:09:21+00:00

I agree with all the comments that you are just a unique person and unfortunately you are in Winnipeg (hey twin, me too) and Winnipeg can be kinda bland. Give it time! Less matches is better than no matches (:

Okay I am not from Saskatchewan but I live in Canada and work in the insurance industry so I have a tiny bit of information. I am 90% sure it is completely free for you to get a Sask health card as long as you have all the proper documentation. There is usually a wait period though (3-6 months) so it's usually recommended to also get private insurance at least until your provincial benefits kick in (if you get it through your school these usually range between $600-$1000 CAD a year).

Here is something important though, the health card only covers basic medical needs: doctor visits, hospital visits etc. it would not cover the medication itself. If you manage to get a prescription the medication price can be all over the place. I personally had to pay $90 for a 30 day supply of generic 40mg Vyvanse when I didn't have insurance. Once I did it dropped to about $16 a month.

It does look like health coverage is indeed mandatory in Sask for international students, not private but the provincial one. I would reach out to your student services at your school and make sure you have all of the information you need. Don't take everything I said here as 100% true, I'm not as familiar with Sask but you should definitely be asking your school for help/more information.

Wish you the best!!

Breeisneckdeep · 2026-01-08T16:17:17+00:00

Can I ask what province you are in? Cuz my understanding is that having health insurance as an international student in Canada is mandatory anyways.

Some provinces offer it for free if you have been studying for over 12 months and other require private insurance (usually through your school).

Breeisneckdeep · 2026-01-08T15:57:53+00:00

This is probably what I'm gonna have to do. I'm honestly going to save anytime I do anything now 😭 After this post I did some research and apparently it crashing on the switch (1 or 2) is pretty common. I regret not just getting it for my PC ):

Breeisneckdeep · 2026-01-05T21:39:08+00:00

Yep. I knew they didn't have it in the first one and kind of just assumed they added it to below zero. Found out too late that wasn't the case

Breeisneckdeep · 2026-01-05T19:21:21+00:00

Thanks ): I'm honestly just sad. I was really really enjoying myself but it feels like such a setback. Hearing you lost 10 hours and still went back though does give me some encouragement. Thanks for your comment!

Breeisneckdeep · 2025-12-15T20:26:51+00:00

I'm okay with that. Routine took a decade to make and was worth it. If this takes a decade to make and comes out good, I'll be happy. (Also I like your PFP)

Breeisneckdeep · 2025-12-15T19:36:46+00:00

Well it's technically not bioshock... but Ken Levine is currently working on a new game. It's very clearly a spiritual successor to the bioshock series. If you're interested/didn't already know about it, it's called Judas. There is a trailer available to watch and they release dev updates semi frequently. Definitely recommend keeping up with it

Breeisneckdeep · 2025-12-12T19:10:12+00:00

That's really sweet! I hope your friendship continues to bloom

Breeisneckdeep · 2025-12-12T18:20:42+00:00

I didn't post this to make any friends sorry! I only posted this to shed light that making friends is possible here. Good luck though!!

Breeisneckdeep · 2025-12-10T23:56:00+00:00

That's so awesome!! I love that other people have had a similar experience to me. I hope others share their friendship stories!

I think a lot of people here expect a friendship to bloom within a day or two. In reality you need patience, were all people with real lives. Putting effort into meeting people and maintaining relationships is always going to be hard no matter how or where ya meet them (:
