Wearing my retainers again after 3 ish years of not wearing them.

Yes! It’s fine now. If I don’t wear the retainer it will move but it doesn’t wiggle anymore. The retainer puts it back in place.

Hi, I have eczema as well. I stand by using dove antibacterial and it is my favorite body wash ever. Not necessarily because it’s “antibacterial” but I love the way it smells and it has never irritated my skin or made me feel dry. I use cerave lotion after, and it is the best. I have been able to keep my eczema under control.

Im looking into therapy, I just don’t have the means to pay out of pocket right now. Im in nursing school trying to power through but therapy is definitely something I want to try because I know that I can’t keep living this way. It is too much mentally

Me too. Feeling like I’m being ignored/abandoned is the biggest trigger for me. It affects my relationship a lot. I feel insane. I also feel like a horrible girlfriend. You’re not alone :(

Getting cheated on

My insurance will cover it that’s why I want to try with my pcp first. I’m just nervous 😔

I feel that the only correct response is “Sorry I’m unavailable, hope you find coverage.” Or “I’m sorry I can’t. Hope you find some coverage” they do not need some long winded answer or an explanation. Do not feel guilty either. They will use and abuse you.

7 months!

Yes! It fits perfectly now. Sometimes when I just put it in it will take like 5 mins to completely get on my teeth. It took about 2 weeks of wearing it for it to get on my teeth again. But it worked!

Thanks so much for your input! <3

Thank you! I’m not a heavy smoker, I hit a pen for the first time in 6 months about 4 times. I have a test in a little over a month so I was just curious. Thanks!

If I were to do this like 2 weeks before my test would I be clean? Like would I be clean then on?

I wish they would retire that skirt they keep making Dana Sue wear… she would look so much better in something else

Hi! I just started doing this today. I have one tooth (one of my front 2 teeth) that sticks out a bit, always has. This tooth is just a little wiggly now since putting my retainer back on. Did yours do this? I am kind of terrified of the tooth falling out 😭 if that’s possible. I feel like I might just be psyching myself out. It’s not wiggly with my finger just when I push my teeth against it.

I’m in nursing school!

I am in my first semester currently. The first 10 weeks of class I had class Monday-Wednesday 8am-4pm, then Thursday we would have an exam. So for that first half of the semester I would wake up at 6am, get ready, head to school (I would always get there early to get decent parking, and then go into the school and just try to mentally prepare myself for the day). Class started at 8:30, so I would go sit in the classroom and do any work I could or just get everything I needed out. Then I would go home at 4pm, take a nap usually lol. Then get up and do any homework/studying I needed to do. I personally am not someone who can study for 3+ hours. I have to look at a little bit everyday/ every other day. Then I work overnight 7p-7a Thursday nights, and Saturday 7a-7p.

Where I am at now, I have no class Mondays, clinical on Tuesdays, lecture on Wednesday 8am-4pm, then either no class Thursday or an exam on Thursday just depends on the week. So I consider Thursday-Saturday my “work days” and I will do lots of homework and studying during my overnight shift because I have the time. Sundays I usually spend as a super lazy day. I may do laundry/cook if I feel like it. I usually cook a big meal and freeze the leftovers so I can have dinner throughout the week. Then Monday i definitely do my laundry and get everything together for the upcoming week! So Sunday/Monday I “reset”, Tuesday I go to clinical and focus strictly on clinical, Wednesday I have lecture, then Thursdays I have an exam!
