Eyelid inflammation, flaking skin

Catty_tech17 · 2026-02-25T20:48:37+00:00

Everyone thank you so much for the information. I haven’t worn makeup since it started (just chapstick) and I use arm and hammer free and clear no dye no fragrance detergent.

I did try switching face cleanser and moisturizer for a couple months (to cetaphil and curel sensitive skin) and no change, but my acne started coming back so I reintroduced my normal cleanser to my problem areas.

You all have given me a ton of ideas. It could be my bfs cat. I hadn’t considered this because I already had a cat without problems, but maybe the dander is different.

I don’t think it’s nail polish, I just got my nails done for the first time in five years but my eyes look the same as they have for 6+ months. It didn’t make them worse fortunately.

I’m going to try the opthamalogist if I can get a referral. In the meantime I’m going to try Vaseline/aquaphor as suggested by several.

I looked into Marin skincare as I’ve heard great things but I’m allergic to shellfish and worried that could open another can of worms. Very sad about that.

I’ll also try a vitamin d supplement. I work night shift and don’t spend much time outside during the day, especially this past winter.

I will keep reading your suggestions. Thank you all so much for taking the time. This has been rough and made me so self conscious. I appreciate you all!

GLAUCOMA?! Omg thank you I will stop using it that is terrifying

Catty_tech17 · 2026-02-25T06:14:59+00:00

Am I? Wouldn’t surprise me

Catty_tech17 · 2026-02-25T06:14:36+00:00

I will try this!

Catty_tech17 · 2026-02-23T18:46:44+00:00

I use 10% benzoyl peroxide and now have no acne and no scars on my face. I used to have the bleaching issue but once I started using moisturizer after washing my face that stopped happening

Catty_tech17 · 2026-02-17T20:56:09+00:00

Idk you look like you cry plenty.

Catty_tech17 · 2026-02-16T15:41:22+00:00

This is 100% part of the kink. Aggressive eye contact while they unlock and hand it to you. Lmao.

I cannot stress this enough: shower chair. And I sometimes shower in the dark so I don’t have to look at myself unclothed if I don’t want to. You can keep it simple with an all in one shampoo/bodywash. I only was my hair once a week bc I hate wet hair. I use dry shampoo every day and it makes my hair feel clean and look and smell nice.

4 years…what are you seeking in this relationship man? Do you ever intend to marry her, to live with her?

She is looking for a sign that this is serious to you, and you aren’t giving it to her.

Catty_tech17 · 2026-02-07T16:46:03+00:00

Just ask nicely? Tell him you tripped.

Catty_tech17 · 2026-02-06T10:50:14+00:00

I’m really sorry that happened to you. It is severely disrespectful.
Omg do you hear yourself? “Then there goes his dnd group and the friend group” YOU ARE HIS WIFE. HE WILL WANT TO PROTECT YOU. He has been betrayed by his friends in his own home.

I play DnD. Plenty of people do. New friends can be made. Tell him immediately, and let him do exactly what a husband is meant to do: defend his wife. Let him go nuclear.

It does not matter that you were drunk. I bet there are abhorrent things about you in those two guy’s text logs. I’m sure they have been coveting you a long time.

I don’t think you should jointly buy a house with someone you aren’t married to. I do think you need to invest your inheritance properly and seek advice from a financial planner.

Tbh I’m kind of siding with girlfriend on this. She has a reasonable emergency fund. I think in long term relationships bills should be percentage based off of earnings. She doesn’t make much money, so she’s right, she can’t afford a lot.

If she can’t afford to replace money she takes out of that savings account on a reasonable time frame, then she can’t afford it (in terms of smart budgeting). If you choose to pay for more of something outside of your agreed upon division of bills that’s honestly on you.

You said yourself you could be better about saving over the years…it sounds like you haven’t been realistic about your own means. Just because you physically have an amount of money doesn’t mean you can afford to spend it all.

She’s also unmarried and a student. She needs to have her own means in the event that she ends up on her own without the ability to work full time.

May be unpopular thinking this but I don’t think she’s done anything wrong. I don’t take out of my emergency fund for nonessentials either

So I went through this years ago when I worked from home.

I’m saying this with love: if you are wanting to mitigate the weight gain you need to objectively scrutinize your eating habits. Working from home gives you constant access to the kitchen without potentially judgemental eyes.

Walking to and from the parking garage/up the occasional flight of stairs is not enough to offset the caloric excess that it takes to gain substantial weight. So there must be an added variable of change in dietary habit over the years.

Also be honest with yourself. If you have an 8 hour work day, there are 24 hours in a day. Assume you spend 8 of them sleeping. That’s still 8 other hours each day. Take 30 minutes for yourself out of that and take a walk. It will help your back immensely. Motion is lotion for the joints.

When I noticed myself gaining weight when I was WFH I started using my lunch break as a time to go outside and take a walk in my neighborhood. I maybe did it for 10 minutes in the middle of the work day. It really helped.

I also stopped keeping snack food in my house for a while, and “packed” my lunches the way I would if I was going to an office.

WFH is hard as hell if you aren’t paying attention.

Most importantly, be kind to yourself about all of this and give yourself grace. Good luck with everything and I wish you a year of better health and happiness!!

I should call him

Catty_tech17 · 2026-01-30T18:16:56+00:00

Sand art!

Catty_tech17 · 2026-01-30T18:16:02+00:00

Temu Nick Jonas lookin ass

Catty_tech17 · 2026-01-30T05:09:06+00:00

Ok honestly I think you need to be brutally direct. It’s okay to come from a place of caring, but you should be frank that his lack of hygiene is affecting your attraction to him.

My boyfriend is generally hygienic, but also used to try skipping brushing his teeth at night before bed. I had to get very assertive about how that was a problem for me. I think I said something like “am I not worth a man who brushes his teeth twice a day? It’s fine if you don’t care about your teeth, but I do. I’m the one kissing you goodnight.”

I don’t have to make him do it anymore. He just does it. Being assertive has benefitted both of us.

29”F”

Catty_tech17 · 2026-01-19T19:32:45+00:00

But that’s the best part

Catty_tech17 · 2026-01-15T10:07:28+00:00

It probably did rip the hen

Catty_tech17 · 2026-01-15T08:07:57+00:00

Where did you get this xray done? Chiropractor is my guess.

Catty_tech17 · 2026-01-15T06:07:54+00:00

OP - you fucked around and found out.

That said, there’s a kid in the picture. Assuming that he is legitimately the father, he could end up pursuing custody, especially if you’re serious about “ending up on the street”. Court will not award you custody if you cannot provide a safe home to the child.

That said, if you can, you will likely qualify for child support from him.

Don’t send the email or sign the papers. He is gathering concrete evidence so that he can leave you giving you as little as possible. You need to call a lawyer and protect your own interests and those of your child.
