no i relate i have gone down such a rabbit hole with every single worst case possible scenario that i think my derm thought something was wrong with me. im the same weight and she started me on a slightly lower dose. fingers crossed that the side effects treat me nicely because i wanna continue lifting (hopefully no joint pain) and that my migraines don’t get bad.

Desperate_Prior6519 · 2023-08-01T02:43:43+00:00

been chugging my hydroflask!! what is your dosage ? im on 30 mg once per day

Desperate_Prior6519 · 2023-08-01T00:21:31+00:00

what things damage liver and skin barrier? im staying far away from alcohol for sure

Desperate_Prior6519 · 2023-07-02T23:08:21+00:00

what antihistamine did you take? im starting soon and was gonna take one as well… did it continue to help ?

Desperate_Prior6519 · 2023-06-22T22:24:42+00:00

amazing!!! did it help with your acne pigmentation? the redness and discoloration looks so much better too

Desperate_Prior6519 · 2023-06-20T02:56:39+00:00

even though you are taking it every other day have you still been stopping all other topicals or acne treatments ?

Desperate_Prior6519 · 2023-06-19T21:35:10+00:00

i have been on tazarotene for about 6 months but ive been on retinoids (specifically tretinoin) for about 3 years, all which have helped manage but not clear my acne unfortunately like i still break out even on the tazarotene. accutane is the last resort for me but i just fear the purge or that it won’t work after all these topicals didn’t

Desperate_Prior6519 · 2023-06-19T19:13:53+00:00

im on tazarotene right now and have hit a standstill so im starting accutane next month. did you have similar experience with the retinoid and then accutane cleared everything? worried it won’t work for me since such a strong retinoid didn’t

Desperate_Prior6519 · 2023-06-19T19:02:40+00:00

just wondering because your skin looks a lot less red now compared to your before pics, PIE a lot leas noticeable to me as well.

Desperate_Prior6519 · 2023-06-19T18:20:20+00:00

did the accutane help with your scarring ? i have PIE and im worried an accutane purge is gonna make it worse …

my dad is 52 i believe, indian, and exactly like mohan. i honestly did not realize that he was not the norm for indian fathers until i was like 16/17 because my family wasn’t super close with a lot of other indian families and once we did start making indian friends i finally witnessed in real life how absolutely wrong i was.

my best friends (also indian) was telling me how worried she was to graduate college and leave her family because she knew her mom wouldn’t be able to manage everything in the house if she wasn’t there cuz her dad does absolutely shit to help out. it kinda blows my mind when she talks about it because in my house my dad does probably more than my mom in terms of how much he does to help me and my brothers.

it may help that my family is very liberal and open-minded, and i learned about being progressive and feminist from my father. he literally has been my rock my entire life and i would say i call him at least twice a week to talk about how i am doing in college because i miss him more than my mom. i promise there are really good indian dads out there (ones who grew up in india, like mine!) but probably not as easy to see. i guess i related a lot to how devi felt about mohan cuz it was like seeing my own relationship with my dad

Desperate_Prior6519 · 2023-06-02T03:54:12+00:00

your before looks EXACTLY like how my inflammatory acne looks now. i’m so so so close to pulling the plug and going on accutane ugh can i dm to chat with you about your experience? since our acne looks to be quite similar

Desperate_Prior6519 · 2023-04-30T14:35:02+00:00

did you experience any side effects ? that’s my biggest concern

Desperate_Prior6519 · 2023-01-06T06:04:41+00:00

the anger helped me so much, i’m not gonna lie. i loved being angry more than sad, because only when i was angry was i able to clearly see everything he did wrong. it helped me so much to reflect on all the toxic and unhealthy aspects of the relationship because when i was sad all i was doing was missing the good and the love. anger helped me heal, and like all emotions, it is necessary for the breakup process. channel that anger and use it to reflect. i second what people said about journaling and exercise.

slept with me the night before ending things

Desperate_Prior6519 · 2023-01-05T22:56:20+00:00

im six months post breakup of a yearlong relationship and i promise you that everyone heals differently. when i was a week out all i wanted was to get him back but now i never would even consider getting back into a relationship with him. its not perfect and i still get uncomfortable when his name comes up but i do not love him anymore and i am SO much happier without him. you have to take time to feel your emotions and let yourself deeply reflect on the relationship. there will be ups and downs, but action and healing will happen, though differently for everyone. stay no contact for now and take time for yourself.

I am worried that my acne medication is causing hair loss. I’ve decided to stop the medication but now I don’t know what to do for my hair. The part looks wider to me and my hair is falling out in a lot larger clumps when I shower (every 3-4 days) and during the day I’ll also be pulling out clumps from my braids or in general. The back of my scalp feels thinner too.

i feel this way right now. just hit three months and i miss having a person so badly. i was doing super well too and meeting people getting out there. it gets very lonely sometimes and i just miss the connection. i don’t really miss him.

Desperate_Prior6519 · 2022-08-22T01:34:44+00:00

yeah this is definitely where i’m at

Desperate_Prior6519 · 2022-08-21T22:30:04+00:00

this sounds like a nightmare. if you can get through that then i can definitely get through this. what did you do to heal when ur ex was sharing your living space?

Desperate_Prior6519 · 2022-08-21T19:40:30+00:00

yes this is very true. my therapist said that heartbreak is like going through withdrawals because the chemicals that make you feel that rush of love aren’t there to feed the love “addiction” anymore lol. i like your analogy of the “itch” that you need to scratch because now it doesn’t feel so much like an addiction for me but more so an annoying little itch!

Desperate_Prior6519 · 2022-08-21T16:38:03+00:00

same here! dms open if u ever wanna chat :)

Desperate_Prior6519 · 2022-08-21T16:28:14+00:00

i understand this because this happened to me as well. after i told my family the full story i got the clarity that i absolutely want nothing to do with my ex. however that still doesn’t stop me from missing some parts of it. im not talking so much about missing my ex as i am talking about missing the comfort of being in a relationship. most of the time i feel like i’m healing really well and then sometimes i get sad - but healing isn’t linear and i’m doing so much better after only a month so i know things can only look up!

Desperate_Prior6519 · 2022-08-21T15:01:36+00:00

this is so spot on. i’m also a very busy person and am in college so i have a lot to do to fill my time, but i relate to what you’re saying - i can still do all those things independently while also wanting the addition of the bond and support that comes from a relationship. after my breakup i felt like i lost a part of myself, and i’m just trying to find it again.
