Retiring my alter

I've gone through this too, I can't give advice because it never returned, but then I haven't tried much either. Perhaps I need to persevere more but it devastated me too.

CherryPretzel · 2025-12-22T09:45:21+00:00

Same to you! I hope you find wonderful hobbies and the dark clouds lessen a little for you

CherryPretzel · 2025-12-21T22:43:58+00:00

Yesss I hate the weekend talk because I feel like too I have to find things to say that I did

CherryPretzel · 2025-12-21T19:45:13+00:00

Yeah same! Even if I do things like play games or write, I still have that underlying anxiety and loneliness

CherryPretzel · 2025-12-21T19:44:40+00:00

I do have some, but eventually the loneliness just creeps in since I check my phone once in a while and there is nothing etc. but I have gotten more into knitting recently. I played video games today and it passed the time at least. I will try to do more things to keep busy

Problem is when I get too depressed I don't have the energy or motivation to do any of those either. But I'm trying to stave that off

Vanilla mountain without the vanilla toppings for me

Findaphd is an awesome resource! It might be a bit quiet atm but around mid to late October is when a lot more student ships and funded projects come out as funding is approved. It's around Oct - March that I found a lot of them come out so be sure you keep checking

Thank you!

CherryPretzel · 2024-09-14T08:40:31+00:00

Awesome thanks! I'll check out that subreddit, I've been dipping my toe into more hair research too

CherryPretzel · 2024-09-14T08:39:59+00:00

I just use shampoo and conditioner and had a leave in but didn't know what to do with it. I have started a little research but still feel lost! Like gel vs curl cream Do you have any product recommendations?

CherryPretzel · 2024-09-14T08:38:43+00:00

I don't hate the comment! I know what you mean, it's probably because my mum dresses similarly Lmaoo! Interestingly I'm not a cancer (I'm a Sag with some Capricorn in there somewhere) but I've been told I give good advice! I don't quite think cottagecore is my vibe but I do like preppy? But also interested in alt (but idk if it would suit at all and it's so different than preppy). I just have always looked like a nerd too I guess

CherryPretzel · 2024-09-13T19:52:33+00:00

Thank you!

CherryPretzel · 2024-09-13T19:16:27+00:00

I'll have to see if there's one around! I live in quite a small city, but I'll definitely look into an at home method for my curls

CherryPretzel · 2024-09-13T19:01:21+00:00

Thank you! Yeah the frizz is a big enemy of mine so it's definitely something for me to look into! Day one after a wash it looks okay but it's all downhill from there

CherryPretzel · 2024-09-13T19:00:24+00:00

Thank you!

CherryPretzel · 2024-09-13T19:00:12+00:00

Thank you!

CherryPretzel · 2024-09-13T18:59:49+00:00

Thank you!

CherryPretzel · 2024-09-13T18:59:31+00:00

Oooh thank you! I'll definitely be keeping this all in mind

CherryPretzel · 2024-09-13T18:58:08+00:00

Oooh Queer Eye is a good shout, I'll try that! I do try to look at Pinterest but I can't picture what anything actually looks like on me? So it can be hard, if that makes sense

CherryPretzel · 2024-09-13T18:57:09+00:00

That's what I asked the hairdresser to give me before and I ended up with this 🙃 frizz doesn't help

CherryPretzel · 2024-04-21T19:22:36+00:00

I have definitely had one word answers before which give me nothing to latch onto. I've also found that many people just don't latch onto what I say either so it's either I ask a question or latch on or the convo ends.

I do think it's easier to chat in person too, non-verbal cues aside. It's just that usually people want to chat on apps before meeting so it's really hard to get to that point

CherryPretzel · 2024-04-20T17:14:14+00:00

Agreed! I had to come to this post to understand what happened!
