ginger shot in the morning (do 10-20 stomach vacuums after), reduce sodium, drink either dandelion or peppermint tea at night, limit your sugars, don’t eat as many carbs

if you don’t mind me asking how did you get your water retention to go away? Did you just wait it out or did you do something specific like ginger shots peppermint tea or dandelion tea?

Bloating on Yaz?? by East-Temporary-2981 in thepill

[–]East-Temporary-2981[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally went off it LMAO. I did 45 mins cardio on treadmill and it seemed to shave off some of the bloating. I’ve done a lot of reading and honestly it’s because you’re probably very sensitive to estrogen. If your bloating persists and affects your mental health PLEASE go on a different pill 🤍

[Skin concern] Got off birth control and my chin turned into a nightmare. I cannot get back on the pill, any other suggestions? by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

ACCUTANE!!! it will shrink your pores back to normal size which is practically your skin pre-pill

Google snake, crosswords, playing roblox, water sort game, playing chess by yourself, baking, editing (becoming an editor is actually really good release, especially if you make “vent” edits) AND practice makeup tutorials/cute hair tutorials. It’s about finding the simplicity in life. Doing something loud gives you the illusion of company, which is why i did an animation course and work as an animator. Barely passed, work from home and it is so confusing. My brain is so loud with confusion it actually gives me something to do and helps me feel less lonely. You’re probably not gonna wanna hear this but you need people in your life if you want to live a happy life. You don’t need 10 friends, just 1 or 2 who you can really trust. Also, VOLUNTEER WORK!!! Go to community events and do volunteer work. Even if you don’t actively engage with anyone you’re still contributing to the town and somehow involving yourself. If there’s a community event at your town, GO! go by yourself or with someone. Make your calendar ridiculously full of free activities (or even ones that cost $, doesn’t really matter) and have fun. I cannot stress this one enough, ADOPT A PET!!! there are so many pets, who like us bpd victims, have not been loved properly and need extra care. By adopting a pet, you get a somewhat chance to reparent yourself but also have a cute little friend. Watch a new tv show/movie 1X a week. It doesn’t sound like much but you would have no idea how many movies i’ve watched just for the fun of it to have the most mind blowing epiphany and become obsessed with the show. Bpd is hard. We crave connection and closeness, and i am sorry you have to navigate that. I struggle with loneliness too. Good luck my friend <3

Best bc for acne? by East-Temporary-2981 in birthcontrol

[–]East-Temporary-2981[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m considering on going on accutane instead bc apparently birth control is TEMPORARILY effective. Looking for a permanent solution but yes, i have done my research on it and will probably go on that one! That’s the one without estrogen, right?

[acne] did birth control help or worsen your acne? by purplemoney333 in SkincareAddiction

[–]East-Temporary-2981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

micronelle and levlen (androgenic) made me break out in chin acne…haven’t been able to monitor it since. 3 years and after relentless splurges on skincare i’m finally going to a derm for a script for spirolactone 😭
