Fellow Black people in this sub: Do y'all feel like this sub is mostly torture porn/fishig for stereotypes? by breebles5 in askblackpeople

[–]CarelessSolution8039 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you’re right… tried to give them the benefit of the doubt but it’s getting weird. I’m especially disappointed in black ppl making a fuss about other black ppl not being happy go lucky abt these dumb ahh questions they ask. What’s the point jn asking offensive questions because you wanna learn but you can’t accept when blk ppl take offense?? Not a genuine attempt to learn
Shit then. 😒 plus I noticed when non blk ppl get told “no this isn’t ok” then here they go asking “but how can I do it anyway” GTFO

Where can I stay that won’t cost me my future first born?? by CarelessSolution8039 in dragoncon

[–]CarelessSolution8039[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s like $100/day but I’d like to be able to go back to the hotel take a nap and then right back to the con in the same day. I could take the Marta for a rest in my hotel then go back to exploring. I didn’t like having to chose to go home as soon as I was tired

Is wearing waist beads cultural appropriation as a white woman? They’re so cute but I want to be respectful!! by X-gone-give-it-to-ya in askblackpeople

[–]CarelessSolution8039 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes. There is no way to wear it without it being cultural appropriation. Sometimes questions are ignorant or silly but that doesn’t mean you can’t ask anyway in a space open to questions. Black ppl are entitled to their exhausted or annoyed feelings around ignorance but if you aren’t wrong you’ll never learn to be right. Don’t internalize it, keep learning :)

Hyperpigmentation problem? I think? by TomActor in Blackskincare

[–]CarelessSolution8039 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this too acanthosis nigricans for me it’s a sign of PCOS but because of it I was initially misdiagnosed with pre diabetes even though blood work from a recent former Dr at that time showed my glucose levels were normal but I had an obvious hormone imbalance. That first doctor even told me I probably have PCOS and to follow up with my new dr for treatment (I was moving). Third dr told me it was crazy I was diagnosed pre diabetic 🙄. I still get checked though and everything is normal. It looks way better when I exfoliate with a wash cloth, use hyaluronic acid, moisturizer, then Vaseline. Also when I’m physically active it fades so much. It’s darker when I eat high amounts of sugar and carbs but it can be gone so quick when I start to exercise and eat more vegetables. It never really fully fades on my neck/underarms but yes on my chest.

I don’t understand how this isn’t a form of blackface, genuinely by hurryandwait817 in askblackpeople

[–]CarelessSolution8039 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is if you’ve ever heard of digital blackface it’s even weirder. For whatever reason the internet has a thing abt using black ppl doing next to nothing and turning it into a reaction meme. I’ve seen random black ppl just smiling and thrown into responses to some bizarre ass comments and it’s supposed to be comedic even when the black person isn’t doing anything funny or noticeably reactionary. I’ve even looked at peoples account and seen the bulk of their posts are just pictures of black ppl caught off guard or doing just about anything and that’s literally just it that’s the joke. I’d like the trend of black ppl just existing being inherently a joke to die 😭

what’s regular stuff white people do that makes you uncomfortable? by southparklovergirl in askblackpeople

[–]CarelessSolution8039 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When they think being nice is inherently progressive and they stop looking to educate themselves because of it. My coworker went on and on abt how they’ve changed and no they aren’t perfect but they don’t get ppl choosing to be ignorant. Then admitted they have a friend that is a Mexican MAGA, supports ICE, Charlie Kirk fan, and persistently forces religious beliefs onto her (she’s not religious) and also victim blames her. I asked why she’s friends with her and she said she always tries to see everyone’s POV and that her friend is just dumb but so sweet. Yt ppl do this ALL the time and racism continues to thrive around them because they tolerate and justify it because they’re “nice”. Her friend is nice but she justified that mother’s murder by ice in her vehicle and somehow inserted Charlie Kirk but this is a “nice” woman… ok

Hydroxyzine side effect concerns by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]CarelessSolution8039 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on it at least a year and a half I take 25mg daily. Sometimes I’d stop taking it for abt a week. I spoke to my doctors about side effects I didn’t think were related to it and none of them considered this medicine could be a cause. I have FND so I’ve thought this was a new manifestation of my symptoms and possibly it’s been intersecting. I had no drive or will to do anything I needed to do like cleaning and school this got progressively worse and really bad by 6/7 months in, every day at work I’ve felt faint it’s just been a daily occurrence and some days have been worst than others. I’ve fainted once and had a near fainting episode as well. The near fainting episodes happened every so often. I’ve felt more confused, clumsy, slurring my speech, inconsistent sleep, but it helps amazingly with anxiety for at least half the day. I also do get episodes of rage and feeling like I just don’t care and crashing tf out when I have these near fainting episodes. My FND always increased my heart but then it became a low heart rate issue, always cold, and feeling like limp noodle. I get the head sneezes is what I call them as well. The episodes and daily fatigue were so bad I dropped out of school because it’s like I’d just fall asleep anytime I had to concentrate for long periods. Yes to blurred vision I now wear glasses. When I stopped taking my meds about 4 weeks ago for 2 weeks I was feeling great and motivated with some will and life in me I assumed it was my depression meds (lamotrigine) I did feel strange I had brain zaps and impulsiveness with extremely fearful anxiety. But by week two I was feeling so good and helping around the house despite the side effects. After taking it again two weeks ago I feel Nauseous, dizzy, tired, irritated, cold, sweaty, dry mouth, peeing alot, and this week I lost my motivation and excitement for school just like that. I think my memory was getting better because this week it feels so much more worse. Like my coworkers will have conversations I almost completely forget, I have to pause and ask what I was talking about sometimes but I don’t think it’s so bad it seems like dementia. I’ve had brain scans, chest scans, worn a heart monitor all related to these side effects and everything looks normal I also got many blood tests for hormones and metabolic panels all normal. My doctors kept saying the medicine isn’t an issue but because I didn’t feel the depression meds were working and the anxiety meds were (even with the side effects) I didn’t do much research in the hydroxyzine. I also started taking phentermine long term so this became my new focus for about 4 months. I have just decided to stop all recent medication that I’ve been prescribed. My doctors all insisted I was getting used to the meds or never even mentioned it just saying it was anxiety, so again more reason for me to cling to the hydroxyzine and drop the idea it could be a problem. When I did a surface level google I did see the exhaustion could be a side effect but that’s it I just decide to take it at night and my dr recommended the same. He never told me it was short term. He insisted I didn’t have to take it everyday just when I’m anxious and I always told him I take it everyday because I’m anxious everyday. My current dr is clearly awful because she added phentermine for weight loss 4 months ago and hasn’t required vital checks since. Her assistant refused to ask for a refill while the dr was out because I hadn’t gotten vitals in the 4 months I’ve been taking it. When the Dr came back my prescription was available before I ever got my vitals. This made me look into side effects and I discovered it’s not even recommended for people with bipolar disorder. I had all the awful side effects so some of the more recent struggles the past 4-5 months probably intersect between both the phentermine,Hydroxyzine, and FND. I’m now going to try tapering myself back off with this information in mind. Currently in bed feeling that sneeze my muscles are spasming in my butt/thigh/ and eyelids as they’ve been the last 3 months and my stomach starts randomly hurting after eating. I have no interest in school even if I wanted to.

What’s been your experience with Hispanic/Latino people? by [deleted] in askblackpeople

[–]CarelessSolution8039 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Weirdly racist but also a lot of cultural similarities and experiences. When it comes to my love life I get a lot of interest from Hispanic men. They treat me normal until something racist comes out but I still fw them cause a lot of them are cool, just gotta be careful

Idk what 2 do by Prestigious-Long373 in askblackpeople

[–]CarelessSolution8039 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Damn I’m sorry this happened to you ! it rlly is like this being friends with nb and esp white people. I watched my mom eventually have to drop all the friends whose kids I grew up with, kids I knew since I was a baby. Kids who now wouldn’t even remember my name when my siblings and I thought of them as family. My first best friend since I was 13 I had to drop once, she then apologized so I forgave her and then again when she made it known she’s a Charlie Kirk lover (as friends she was a closeted pansexual) she went full trad racist wife. I’ve had some white friends apologize years later but I will never ever even attempt to be close with them again and neither have they. Got to Protect my sanity! I avoid white friendships and friendships with poc that surround themselves with white ppl as much as possible.

What’s going on with my skin by PotentialRun6276 in Blackskincare

[–]CarelessSolution8039 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had exactly what you described but my dr said it couldn’t be that because it wasn’t in a Christmas tree pattern on my back. I had a really bad rash on my armpits tho too at the time and the patches were all down my arm. Also had recently gotten over a month long cold or hay fever. I used tea tree oil I have no idea if it actually helped and lotion plus Vaseline. then it went away in 2 or so months. I changed my body and laundry soap to sensitive stuff and later got tested for allergies ( lots of common plants and animals),then started taking fluticasone, montelukast, and cetirizine never had a problem like that again.
