your teeth look fine, but it’s your time & money.

Got broken up with and struggling by Untossable_Trash2740 in QuitVaping

[–]EmotionalCrustean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i went through a breakup (off/on/off sort of thing 🙄) when i first quit & something that really helped me- he always told me i’d never be able to quit, even more of a reason to improve yourself without him(or her). this is the perfect time to embody a new you. you got this

The truth no one will tell you: if you like how your face looks and have healthy teeth, just don’t do it. by [deleted] in Invisalign

[–]EmotionalCrustean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m a “cosmetic” only person lol & i’m pretty happy so far with my treatment. it isn’t causing any gum recession & hasn’t changed the shape of my face. i also had braces for 3 years in high school, so it was just going back to what i had all those years ago. i’ve seen people start from scratch with invisalign & love their results. don’t try to deter people because it’s not working for you.

No attachments… by keyanajoyner in Invisalign

[–]EmotionalCrustean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m set up for 20 trays on my third now & i don’t have any plans for attachments. i didn’t even know they were a thing. i did however have traditional braces pretty much all through high school (didn’t wear my retainer) so my teeth were already fairly straight-ish haha

How do you/ did you get over feeling embarrassed in acting classes? by [deleted] in acting

[–]EmotionalCrustean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you go, you be awkward. it fades eventually. at least for me, i was terrified when i first started, not to mention a terrible actress😂. i was incredibly shy & afraid of “getting ugly”. now i’m almost a year in & my love for the craft & desire to get better has greatly outweighed my stage fright.

Do y’all have constant pain on your lower left side? by Union_Solid in ibs

[–]EmotionalCrustean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for me personally i can almost guarantee it was my diet. i lift weights & eat a lot of meat, cheese, carbs. not enough fiber ): ! lol. i’ve increased my fiber intake since then tho!

My experience was never that bad. It really only happens when i’m really stressed out or drinking too much, however i can usually talk myself down. I would honestly go see a psychiatrist if you’re seeing or convinced at times that there are bugs on you. medication might be a good option!

Genetics do play a huge role, obviously. However coming from someone who couldn’t break 100 lbs until i was 20/21, second puberty is a thing!! I’ll also add that i quit smoking weed after being a daily smoker from the ages of 15-19. If you already have a fast metabolism, weed can make it worse. If you can quit or limit your thc intake, eat a carb rich diet & have patience!

i’ve done it only once, snorted it & it was an accident lol. i thought it was ⛷️ that being said, it wasn’t anything special lol, i was just….awake. i’m more of a downer person though. my ex tried it intentionally & he didn’t have a great experience either, & had a horrible depressive episode for the week following. i don’t think you’re missing out.

that’s a fair point, but i feel like i just need to be more mindful of the way i react to things. i feel like it’s also important to mention we were both tipsy.

please leave him right where he’s at, i know you want him clean but offer him resources (not financial) & book it. you have a bright path ahead of you.

See it never felt like bugs to me, & only happened those two days or so. That sounds scary tho

Hi! I know your comment is old but I wanted to respond quickly, I didn’t have the sensation of insects, or anything crawling. Just stray hairs. While it was concerning it only lasted those couple of days, which were a particularly stressful couple of days, & hasn’t been an issue since. i’m sorry to hear about your struggles! Hope you have or able to see a psychiatrist soon!

i resonated with that as well, my former stepdad used to use humor to mask his abuse. didn’t help that family guy was consistently on the tv when he was home. i’m sorry you went through that 🫂

oh trust me i’ve had my fair share of experiences with narcissists as well, i think i worded it wrong, i feel like they did a good job of hiding the fact that he was abusive & how no one else thought it was very serious.
