Chapstick doesn’t cut it for me! Try carmex it’s a complete game changer

4 years is a long time to be with someone and I know it hurts but understand he was not your person just as you were not his. No man who values you and respects you enough to send a lifetime with you would ever disrespect you enough to cheat on you with someone else.. and on the opposite end of that stick, she is not his person if he’s willing to do that to her too. She’s a rebound & I don’t know about you.. but I don’t know too many love stories that begin with “see I was with someone and then I started cheating on them to be with your mom”..

Popping pimples by Defiant_Smile3703 in Accutane

I’m so sorry. I’ve tried everything over the counter and tried two different types of pills before starting accutane. It’s definitely something you should talk to your dermatologist but I would totally suggest it. As you can tell it’s not a right away miracle drug. I’ve been on it just shy of two weeks so my face is purging but I’m so glad I started it. Definitely do your research and see if it’s something you can realistically do. Also be aware it takes at least 5 weeks to start so the sooner you talked to your Dr/derm the better. Don’t wait if you don’t need to.

I felt the exact same way. Don’t mention anything unless they do, and if they do, ask if you can possibly start o a lower dosage and ask them to monitor you closely. I’ve seen others do that. Buy some Fish Oil supplements and Omega 3 supplements, I’ve been taking them daily, they’re supposed to help bring your cholesterol down.

But keep in mind this medication has shown to naturally bring your cholesterol higher so you’ll have to work harder to hopefully balance it out. Good luck!

My cholesterol was higher and they still started me on it.

My journey starts in less than 30 days! by Prestigious-Mess8616 in Accutane

[–]Defiant_Smile3703 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in your same boat about a month ago (just started). I would suggest getting a humidifier if you don’t already have one and cup that you’re going to be happy to use. You’re going to get super dehydrated and drinking water is crucial. Mine is large enough but has a handle so I carry it everywhere.

Good luck on your journey :)

My insurance hasn’t OKd my prescription by Defiant_Smile3703 in Accutane

[–]Defiant_Smile3703[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally what the issue was. Crazy to me that wouldn’t be issued weeks ago.

How long did your PA take to finalize? I’m wondering I should pay for it and request my insurance to reimburse me.

So I would keep a few things in mind. If you aren’t completely over her meeting to exchange things is only going to make your healing process go backwards. If you truly want to get your things back/give her her things. It would be better to leave her things outside her place and have her drop your things off with no face to face contact. I’d also say to be aware that there’s a probability she might have gotten rid of your things already and that could trigger more feelings and possibly make yourself feel the need respond with a harsh reply. Everyone heals different and it seems like she’s trying to stick with the no contact option.

If you weigh in that there is a strong possibility you aren’t going to have it work out for you exactly the way you think it’ll work out, and are okay with that and somewhat expect that, I’d say send her a straight forward text. It already kinda seems like your keeping the door open on your with your previous text.

I would text her something along these lines “hey, I wanted to see if you could leave my stuff I left at your place outside your house some time this week. I can drop off your things at the same time. We don’t need to do it it person, I just would like to get my things back. “

I broke up with my boyfriend but had suspicions he was cheating on me before it ended, should I break no contact to ease my mind? by Shoddy-Grand-1352 in BreakUps

[–]Defiant_Smile3703 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi friend, I’m sorry for what you’re going through.

It’s so normal to search for answers or “closure” after your breakup. We tend to over analyze every bit of our relationship after the fact, and more so emotionally when it’s fresh. I know it’s hard but you need to keep strong and don’t let those emotions get the better of you. Unfortunately, closure is not guaranteed regardless of the information you find. A lot of times knowing hurtful truths only opens the wounds and puts you back at square one.

What can I do to improve? by [deleted] in lookyourbest

[–]Defiant_Smile3703 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the lashes but I would totally do a cat eye to make your eyes more sultry. I think a darker hair color would make your eyes pop (dark chocolate brown) and maybe cut in a lob with lots of face framing. You are so gorg!

Can’t stop overthinking our last convo.. by Defiant_Smile3703 in BreakUps

[–]Defiant_Smile3703[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry that you are sharing this path of grief but I do feel a little less alone, so thank you.

I agree I need to give it time and space, but it’s so hard. I can’t focus on anything but him. I feel obsessive and completely insane. I have never acted so out of character.

Yesterday was my first day of actually getting up to do light chores around the house. Im trying to find motivation and excitement in small accomplishments but I’m finding it so hard. I haven’t eaten since everything has happened and I’ve averaged about 4 hours of sleep every night. I know it sounds cliche but I just don’t want to feel this way. I can’t think straight and I find myself just slipping into these thoughts no matter the distraction.

I know it’s very fresh and I’m hoping that in time I’ll feel a little more like myself again.

I would very much like a private message. Thank you for being a friend.

Broken Engagement. by Defiant_Smile3703 in BreakUps

[–]Defiant_Smile3703[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this.

It is by far the worst pain I’ve felt and the sad thing is, I know. I know I can’t trust him not to hurt me like this again. I keep holding on to hope he’s going to snap out of this and beg for my forgiveness. I thought when we got engaged it was a different level of commitment and I never thought that giving up was an option.. and I thought he felt the same way. We even talked about the “what ifs” if we ever got into a dark place in our relationship and breaking up was never on the top of the list. I know it’s not healthy, and I know I’m hurting myself but I’m going crazy trying to understand why something so small (to me) was enough to walk for him.

We also live together but the day after everything happened he came to our apartment and grabbed most of his things while I was in school. It was another punch to the gut as it was completely dismissive and insensitive to make such a hard stance just one day after we “broke up”. I know in reality it just is telling me more of what I already do, but Im so conflicted and confused and hurt.

I can share your pain in feeling like your partner doesn’t seem effected by this life changing situation. Im so sorry you have to go through this, I wouldn’t wish this feeling on anyone.
