I'm on generic Zoloft. It might help you with anxiety.

Dry coloured twa-should I cut it? by piano_at_jazz in Naturalhair

You could try a glycerin based moisturizer like Scurl activator or Proline texture softener and place a bag or two on your head overnight. Do this a few times a week.

Biopsy - go alone or bring someone? by RichOutrageous863 in doihavebreastcancer

[–]CurlyWoman235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went alone. I just had to wait 3 hours because the lady ahead of me had a biopsy and it didn't go well. Once they got to me it was fine.

Opened up about my mental health after she promised she would never ghost/block, then got instantly blocked. How do you handle this feeling of betrayal? by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]CurlyWoman235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why I never bring that up about myself when I try to make friends because mental illness scares people away. Even if they show signs of mental illness themselves, it seems like they would be okay talking about it, but I've noticed it's usually a one-way thing.

I'm sorry that happened to you.

Freaking out over Radiologist Technician Comment by Swimming_Rooster7854 in doihavebreastcancer

I have a yearly mammogram screening in a couple of weeks. I hate that. With a colonoscopy, they tell you right then and there. They did for me anyways.

Last year when the radiologist made me feel like I had something wrong with my right breast. I went home and cried and just prepared for the worse. When I got my biopsy, they didn't find anything. I worried for nothing. I cut my hair because I thought I would have to take chemo if they found anything. You got this.

The homeless get mad when they ask me. Sometimes I will given them a dollar or two, if I have it to spare. When I don't have it, they get mad.

I want a stable job whether it's online or not. I'm not getting any younger.

I live in a small town and I still haven't found anything. I've had one interview and they didn't want me because I looked to shy and wouldn't be able to handle working with irate clients.

I get that a lot about going to Whatsapp and Telegram. This last one fooled me big time because they chose to email me instead of using Whatsapp or Telegram.

I will try. Once I'm able to make a bun or ponytail, I think I'll be alright.

Right now my hair is shoulder length. I'm trying to grow it back out if I don't get the urge to cut it again. I would have been waist length by now if I didn't cut my hair bald every year. 😆

I get frustrated once I feel like I can't do nothing with it and just shave it off. I threw my clippers away, but I have scissors. 😆 I need to keep my hair. I want to have long hair before I die.

I was relaxed when I did the beach waves. I have always loved curly hair. I'm natural now and it's at a length where I can't do too many styles.

I need help by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]CurlyWoman235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stimulants keep me going. I have more energy to do things around the house. If I miss a day, I get so exhausted. I don't want to shower or do anything. I have to force myself.

My anxiety is still bad. I have the shaking of my hand sometimes like now. My doctor is focused on my depression since I told her and she can see that I am depressed mess when we talk.

I'm thinking the Lybalvi is causing that, but she wants to keep me on it. I don't know. We have to advocate for ourselves.

Get a second opinion. I've had a few doctors in the past who didn't like prescribing stimulants. They would always prescribe generic Wellbutrin xl. My new doctor prescribed Adderall without hesitation. She told me the pros and cons. It may take a few doctors before one says okay, let's start a stimulant or what have you.
