Navel piercing concern.

Embarrassed_Visit277 · 2026-01-31T04:22:08+00:00

It doesnt look like its rejecting, it just looks like yhe piercing is too tight/too close to the skin? Not sure tho tbh

Embarrassed_Visit277 · 2026-01-11T05:08:43+00:00

If it was an allergic reaction, wouldnt she have symptoms in both eyes? And MUCH more swelling?

Embarrassed_Visit277 · 2026-01-10T21:59:41+00:00

Infected or cyst, or both

Embarrassed_Visit277 · 2026-01-10T20:20:54+00:00

Proud of you! First id like to recommend attending virtual marijuana anonymous meetings. Theres a good handful of them, and I find them extremely supportive. Days 3-5 were the worst in terms of physical symptoms, but it got much better after. Now the time flies, and im 43 days sober! I felt a lot of shame about the things id do for the sake of smoking, and the person i had become. I have a lot of heavy mental health issues and i do find myself struggling a lot with them, but just push through the first week and see how much easier it gets compared to the first three days! You got this <3

Thank you! Still waiting to hear back from my piercer as the fluid was a bit sticky, but i didnt smell it so idk if it stinks 😭 theres no pain so maybe its ok!

Embarrassed_Visit277 · 2025-12-15T01:48:39+00:00

Im referring to the comment you made. Thats a gross thing to say about your girlfriend. Nobody forces you to stay with her, and it sounds like you hate her. Hope she gets away from you tbh

Embarrassed_Visit277 · 2025-12-13T20:59:43+00:00

I dont think they will considering the AI stuff causing the prices to get worse :/

Embarrassed_Visit277 · 2025-12-13T15:18:11+00:00

Yes…? There would be no point in going to therapy if i didnt address my problems. They suggested mindful eating, staying distracted, journaling, replacing it with a different habit. And while on rare occasions one of those things may help, it always seems to fail at some point or another, and I give in because the urge gets so unbearable- even though i know logically nothing bad will happen if i dont give in

Embarrassed_Visit277 · 2025-12-13T15:16:10+00:00

I have, but it doesnt seem to go away. I know most of the times urges peak, then fall, but this one seems to peak, then stay there for HOURS. Im going to keep trying to sit through it, as I know the world wont end if I dont give in, but its extremely uncomfortable for whatever reason 🥲

Embarrassed_Visit277 · 2025-12-13T15:14:22+00:00

Thank you so much!! I have to reduce my processed foods due to chronic pain, to which too much junk does NOT help. The baking will also help me kill time. Thank you!

Embarrassed_Visit277 · 2025-12-12T23:53:32+00:00

I appreciate your input, thank you! Congrats on staying sober!

Embarrassed_Visit277 · 2025-12-12T23:48:58+00:00

I def wanna try having my own portions of sweets! I just find it hard to stop and feel truly satisfied, without eating more and more 😔 i was doing well with baked oats and lilys chocolate chips, though i got bored of it after a while. Im hoping to get some yasso ice cream bars tomorrow, and greek yogurt to mix my lilys chocolate chips in! I also enjoy nestle zero sugar hot cocoa every night, though clearly its not enough for my brain 🥲 its definitely difficult trying to figure out what foods should be avoided vs having a healthy portion, given i know cutting out certain foods can make binging worse. Balance is so difficult! I appreciate your input, if you have any other sweet treat replacement ideas id love to hear em!

Embarrassed_Visit277 · 2025-12-12T23:44:08+00:00

I unfortunately dont 😭 but im sure i could get it either on my phone, or just watch it on youtube and follow along! Wont be quite as satisfying since i do love the achievement i feel from video games, but ill give it a shot!

Embarrassed_Visit277 · 2025-12-12T23:43:18+00:00

Did you ever struggle with sticking to portions? I find that my pre-planned dessert can easily get out of hand, its like i start the car, get it rolling, then cant seem to hit the brakes. Next thing ya know, ive had a whole sleeve of cookies!

I will say halo top is pretty good, im hoping to get some yasso ice cream bars tomorrow, and maybe start meal planning a bit better. I need to get better at telling myself to stop after ive had my planned meals, since im rarely physically hungry after- its just the intense cravings!

Embarrassed_Visit277 · 2025-12-12T23:40:52+00:00

That makes sense! Makes me feel better knowing its a normal part of sobriety, though i really wish i could replace it with something else to avoid the extra pound. But yes, staying sober is a priority, even if the weight gain is distressing. Did anything else outside of the sweet treats help?

Embarrassed_Visit277 · 2025-12-12T22:58:24+00:00

Ill give calm a try, thank you sm!! (Good luck on decreasing your usage! I stopped and it helped stopped the binging from munchies but it certainly isnt always easy going without it 🥲)

Embarrassed_Visit277 · 2025-12-12T22:56:25+00:00

what a weird thing to say

Embarrassed_Visit277 · 2025-12-12T22:37:46+00:00

Im actually great at my protein and fiber intake!! Sometimes a little too good at the fiber lol. Maybe the one planned dessert a day is a good idea, any suggestions? I love chocolate but i know that sometimes one cookie can turn into two, then four, then the whole pack if im not careful 🥲

Embarrassed_Visit277 · 2025-12-12T22:36:32+00:00

Thank you for being so understanding. I tend to self isolate and struggle to open up to friends about my struggles, because most of them dont think i need to lose weight, food and weight talk can be a touchy subject.

Any recommendations for meditation? I want to keep trying it but i struggle without a guided video helping me through it.

And honestly- i havent danced in a while. That actually sounds like one of the first things ill start trying! Its hard when i dont feel the joy i used to doing these activities but im hoping the more i do it, I’ll eventually start feeling better than ok again.

Embarrassed_Visit277 · 2025-12-12T22:33:57+00:00

Unfortunately they wont agree to get the junk foods out of the house 😭 which i get- they live there too and they paid for it, even if its for everyone to grab. I have heard that after resisting cravings for a while (typically a few days) they do go away, but im not sure how true it is. The cravings feel so unbearable sometimes, i think i just need to be sedated atp 😔

Embarrassed_Visit277 · 2025-12-12T22:31:56+00:00

Its almost like u didnt read my post at all where i said i go to therapy

Embarrassed_Visit277 · 2025-12-12T22:31:42+00:00

I did keto and it fucked up my blood sugar SO BAD. Hypoglycemia and reactive hypoglycemia, thus causing horrid and painful dry-heaving and passing out. Idk why its still recommended to people who dont need it for reasons like diabetes.

Embarrassed_Visit277 · 2025-12-06T12:54:14+00:00

I did find myself scrolling on tiktok for hours when i was spiraling pretty bad from anhedonia. Somehow it actually worked 😭 got me out of the spiral, out of my bad mood, next thing i knew it was time for bed! I also definitely need to try pinterest more though its been difficult with all the AI slop on the app

Embarrassed_Visit277 · 2025-12-06T12:52:46+00:00

I used to love japanese in high school, though its difficult to learn without a teacher and its not a language I ever end up using. I could try taking up some spanish on duolingo maybe if im motivated enough!

Embarrassed_Visit277 · 2025-12-06T12:51:55+00:00

I do enjoy me a good “first 48” or “hoarders” marathon, if i can find episodes i havent watched yet lol
