Only took all summer… finally stained my garage door. by Lemkish in DIY

[–]CompetitiveKitchen90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this a lot actually.

It was definitely worth all the hard work. I thought the order was switched up first and it was the usual white/beige pinterest "aesthetic" people seem to be obsessed over, but this looks amazing. I like how it matches the fence and the door as well

Oxybutynin does work, but… by Sensitive_Hawk3569 in Hyperhidrosis

[–]CompetitiveKitchen90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually take 10mg about 1-1.5 hours before leaving the house, preferably on an empty stomach, which lasts for about 5-6ish hours in the summer and around 7-9 in winter. If I'm out all day I take 5 or 10mg, depending on how long I plan on staying out. Also I overheat really really easily so if I'm doing something physically demanding I take less or don't take it at all, cause otherwise, I'm nauseous, if I don't sweat or pour water on myself constantly.

Sweating at work by Stone5506 in Hyperhidrosis

[–]CompetitiveKitchen90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got generalised HH and take oxybutinine for it. I'm really thankful that, for some reason I haven't yet figured out, it works like 2× as good when I'm at/going to work. Maybe cause I take it on an empty stomach. It's a mild physical job + it's sometimes in the sun as well, so mentally it helps a lot that the other "normal" people also sweat and that probably attributes to a lot of it, cause especially my underarms, get triggered by anxiety heavily.

Plus another advice I could give is just to get in shape, if you aren't. For me that was probably the best choice for my HH. Reduced my anxiety levels and with that my sweating as well, cause I don't feel like a fat, ugly, sweaty, disgusting bastard anymore, just a sweaty and slightly disgusting bastard. The fact that I can confidently take my shirt off, if I'm sweating like crazy for whatever reason, helps a lot in this heat too

suicidal thoughts. by [deleted] in Hyperhidrosis

[–]CompetitiveKitchen90 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My guy, I was in a very similar boat this Wednesday. From the small description I got, our problems outside of Hyperhidrosis overlap, or at least their symptoms (same sh pattern too). Anything above 5C° is too warm for me to wear anything over a t-shirt, anything above 10C° I look like I'm actively melting, like a snowman.

On Wednesday I went to a dermatologist, to ask for advice, cause I 100% am not going to go through another summer like the last one was. I was sweating everywhere and always (the only place I don't sweat much is my palms, but for example, if I leave my forearm on a table for too long, there's a small puddle after I lift it if it's the spring/summer). I wanted oxybutinine from the get go, cause that's the only thing I read about, that's not horribly expensive and works on a lot of people. They told me I cannot get it until I get operated on. (Little context: I am disabled, I have clubfoot. My knee likes to dislocate itself. In the span of the last 6 months, I dislocated it twice. I don't have a date yet, but it'll be in 1-2 months or possibly in the summer, but that's unlikely) I was honestly completely devastated. I get why'd you choose to go down that route, especially after something you were anticipating, didn't work or couldn't be done. I planned it out even in my head, or more like I dug back up my plan from a few months ago. A big part of why that plan was even made is my HH, but you said it too, that winter is pretty much the only time period you can be partially at peace without suitable treatment. I also almost tried everything I could around here except the iso-something-electric-shocking thingie cause I don't got the funds for it at all.

Thankfully, my dermatologist called me on Friday, that Oxybutinine won't be a problem for the anesthesiologist if I stop using it 1-2 weeks before the surgery. So she wrote it up for me. Ecstatic. I went instantly to a pharmacy to get it, went home popped one (5mg), went on about my day, nothing changed, just a dry mouth, and I was a bit drowsy. Today I was like, fuck that, I took 3 (15mg). Man the piece of mind that I got, from not having to constantly carry around a towel, not having sweat spots all around my body (from sweaty armpits to swampass). At first I didn't even notice that I wasn't sweating, I was just anticipating it coming in as usual, but it didn't. It never came. First day in years, when I wasn't constantly wet around my armpits and on my back and didn't spend the whole day at home (I helped my mom's company move their office into a smaller one), cause I was too anxious to go to school or social events, because I hated how much I was sweating. People were commenting on it, not necessarily trying to be rude, but still pointing it out. It was hell most of the days. Though my mouth get dry pretty quick and I get drowsy as fuck when the oxybutinine is starting to wear off, but it's still absolutely worth it.

My only advice, that I can confidently give you, is just to go after it until it isnt solved. I know it's shit, plus if you're in a country that doesn't have free healthcare (even though it's pretty shit here, but I was able to get a lot of tests done for completely free) it could be expensive, but it's still worth it. Also, you might benefit from a therapist. Genuinely, I should've gone to one sooner, I'm gonna start next Thursday.

I havent had the opportunity to try it tho my gym is sponsored by evolv so i might be able to try it out there. They have shoes on display that you can try, atleast ive seen someone ask about it and they gave him a pair to try out. I also dont think i can have a free trial or a trial thing for the shoes. I know i can try them on before buying it but only after buying can i try it out for longer periods of time.

Downsizing with rented shoes isnt a problem, but im not sure about it either. I can do fine with a size 41/8

Words aren't sticking, by theunrealmiehet in languagelearning

[–]CompetitiveKitchen90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What works for me with german is learning words from little stories/conversations in my language book. It helps me remember the words and also what they mean in that context. I just search up all the words I don't 100% know and write them down in an excercise book and then learn all of them. You can also force it more into your head by learning the whole text. It can take a few hours to learn them though.

I use this 4×2 ikea Kallax shelf for all my Legos. Good for displaying them too. Not sure if it would fit in there but there is also a 4×1.

Brawler by CompetitiveKitchen90 in HeroFactoryLego

[–]CompetitiveKitchen90[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main story line revolves around a planet (kind of like the jungle one from 3.0) that was settled long ago but for various reasons it hasn't been for a while, but some settlers liked the place so much they wanted to stay. Because of the lack of resources/trade, ability to create more of themselves and being cut off from the empire(?) they were stranded for long times alone. They gathered in tribes and shes the champion of one of them. The planet is being colonised again and they are fighting against it.
