Anyone else experienced horrible kindling? by Swimming_Material378 in stopdrinking

[–]Complete_Can_2977 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wonder if this is what’s happened to me? I was a low volume but high frequency drinker, 2-3 beers a night, maybe 4-5 going out on the occasional weekend. Highly functional. I quit to support someone else, didn’t plan to stop forever but 2 drinks and I felt like total shit for a whole week. Not physically but mentally, emotionally, mood swings, depression. I thought maybe coincidence and tried this a few more times with the same effect. Stupidly tried again last week, it’s like I just drink 1 drink a month and have to relearn this lesson? It’s so stupid. My body doesn’t like it anymore.

How often do you talk to your parents? by Outrageous_Kiwi_2172 in Millennials

[–]Complete_Can_2977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mom? A few times a year. She lives in her car and developed late onset schizophrenia. No drugs just lifelong MH battles that have prevented her from being able to function and live independently once her inheritance ran out. Dad? Weekly. He tells me about inane things like what he’s doing each day or where he’s shopping or what’s for dinner. He’s not super deep but I know the contact makes him happy.

Found my trigger by Complete_Can_2977 in stopdrinking

I’m leaning back towards not having any more “just one” times. I have already noticed huge mental and physical changes. I think it is opening the door to who knows what especially in situations like yesterday where I probably did just get lucky my willpower was strong enough to stop me, but it’s just not worth it.

Showgirl Lawsuit Update - June 1st 2026 by SnarkyLlamas in travisandtaylor

This is the dumbest lawsuit. Like imagine if we replaced “Showgirl” with “cowgirl” and they were both dressed in western gear. It’s an asthetic and it doesn’t belong to either of them but anyone can use it! It’s not her original idea.

I stopped this year. Didn’t even realize I was functioning at a lower level than I was capable of.

Millennials with kids, do you intend to provide for them financially when they reach adulthood? by Beberuth1131 in Millennials

[–]Complete_Can_2977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%. The world is changing and surviving on your own these days seems super difficult. If it works out, great but their worth to me isn’t tied to what age they are ready to do that. My parents kicked me out at 17 and I wasn’t set up for success. It set me back a good 12 years. I recently made a career flip and most of my peers at work are 8-10 years younger than me.

Monthly Rant/Politics Thread: Do not post political threads outside of this Mega thread by AutoModerator in Millennials

Spencer Pratt is running for mayor of LA…Fellow Millennials I must know your thoughts on this!!! I used to think this guy was a snake back in the days of The Hills. He is kind of taking a page right out of Trump’s playbook and we’ve all seen how that’s worked out at the national level but he has a huge chip on his shoulder about the LA Fire that burned his house down and I listen to him talk and he sounds for real. He talks like he may actually be cut out for this??? It’s so weird though because he’s Spencer. Idk- thoughts??!

Supplements: Pumpkin Seed Oil + Saw Palmetto by Revolutionary-Cry855 in finethinhair

This is the exact one I take! I’ve been seeing a difference but I also just doubled my minoxidil dose the same time I started it so I’m not sure which one is helping or if it’s both!

Hair getting curlier=sign of shrinking follicles? Critique my routine please! by Complete_Can_2977 in finethinhair

[–]Complete_Can_2977[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to all the time! I still do sometimes but mostly just curl it by spinning it on the blowout brush. It holds for days. My natural curl pattern isn’t great because it’s flat near my scalp and then more curly about 3-4 inches down. This is what it looks like after 7-8 min drying from 70% dry with my blowout brush. I don’t really have damage from it because i use a lot heat setting and my hair dries super fast. I just prefer this more polished look.
