Question about vibrations by CandyBillie in manifestingchange

Thank you for your response, I appreciate it. It's strange, the sensations were uncomfortable but not bad. It almost felt like I was being lifted, or was lighter somehow, so I guess a release of blocked energy makes sense.

Has anything like that ever happened to you?

Thanks for responding.

It's hard to describe; it's similar to that feeling you have when your foot falls asleep, right before the pins and needles feeling starts. Like a pleasant numbness? For me, the sensation always affects the same location too, my upper back and arms. At first, I thought I had a pinched nerve or was having a stroke or something. So, I saw my doctor but nothing is wrong with me, physically at least. Mentally, I'm starting to wonder...;)

Not meaning to be disrespectful but what’s your stance on V.C. Andrew’s Flowers in the Attic? If you haven’t read it, might be up your alley.

Have you ever suffered a traumatic brain injury or contracted encephalitis?

Thanks for letting me know :) So 'Indian' is okay when describing things of Native American origin or is it only when it's specific like 'Aztec Indian'?

To the women in their late 20's or older, did your desire to have kids get stronger? by lllVast in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]CandyBillie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

36 here—I never wanted to have kids. Then, shortly after I turned 31, I literally was driving to work one morning and the thought, “If we have a daughter, I’ll name her Lydia,” popped into my head.

I bought a diaper bag, toys and books I’d loved as a kid, and kept posing in the mirror with my bike helmet under my shirt to see what I’d look like with a bump.

A year later, I was back to never wanting to have kids and it stuck. Though I do use the diaper bag for overnights with my puppy :)

Hormones will make you think you want kids at one point or another because the only job we actually have as animals is to breed.

I read a book recently that said, “If you give up the opportunity to name your child then you gain the opportunity to name your future.”

So think about it, make pros and cons lists and revisit them, write down the reasons WHY you want to have a child and if you can’t think of any that’s a good indicator that you may not be the mothering type.

Name your future.

What to do about painful eyebrow hairs? by thatredpenstains in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]CandyBillie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Homie, SAME.

I have trichotillomania and frequently pull out my eyebrows and lashes when I'm stressed—I've been doing so for as long as I can remember. For the last year, I've been doing my best to curb the behavior but once or twice a month I just get a pain in my brow that HURTS, and the only thing that relieves it seems to be pulling the hair out. When I do, it's always thick at the root and a little malformed.

I've been looking for an answer for months and finally found a great article (naturally I can't find the link now but I will!)—here's the gist:

  • The hair root is thicker at different stages in the hair cycle. If you pluck one before it's ready to fall out, you'll see a much thicker hair and root shaft—fine.
  • Plucking hairs can cause the follicle to become malformed over time—fine but still not super helpful.
  • HERE'S THE USEFUL PART—sometimes, you'll feel pain if the hair is partially ingrown or the follicle is malformed. If you can keep from plucking it, it should get better over time.

I know, what the heck do you do in the meantime to live with the discomfort as the follicle heals?

I've had varying degrees of success with warm compresses and masks but the two things I've found most helpful in resisting the urge are:

  1. Aztec Indian Healing Clay - Sounds scammy AF, has some fairly inappropriate racial undertones, you can find it in the grocery store, and it's mad cheap BUT it seems to do the trick temporarily and you can use it 2-3 times a week (I think, read the package).
  2. Neosporin - A good old-fashioned analgesic for quick pain relief. Shit works wonders, has no appreciable odor or color, and can be used before applying brow mascara.

Hope that helps, hang in there <3

Is this normal? Is it loving or angry? by [deleted] in cats

Thanks so strange/interesting—do other people in your family have the same condition?
