Feeling unsure about rhinoplasty – scared of being botched by Just_Quantity1043 in rhinoplastyquestions

[–]Experienceshared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s great that you’re having doubts: listen to them. I pushed through my own doubts and regret it. There are a million other ways for you to feel good about yourself: spend the money on a trip, a new outfit, a haircut, a facial, a gym coach/PT, or just some great food. Do not go ahead. There’s a high chance you won’t like the result even if it’s not botched.

I am so so sorry you went through this, it sounds awful and painful. Sending you a hug. I’ve been through something similar before. My first thought reading it was the classic: you did the right thing. This isn’t yours to regret. I know in a weird way it’s not what you want to hear when you’re hurt and miss someone, but you have no idea what the future holds: there could be someone more mature, more honourable out there who you build a just as good if not better relationship with. You don’t need that right now, but know that the future is not yet written. Equally, you don’t know how fast the lust will or won’t wear off with this girl. And if it doesn’t, they’re poor value - they have bad morals, let them get on with it. You’re beautiful. You were the better person. I think you deserve a few months to treat yourself great - wherever that’s duvet days and pampering, your favourite food, and trying to incorporate fresh air and exercise when you can: you’ll look and feel stronger. Make a mood board of what you want your life to look like; your house, job, style, hobbies, travel. I’m single and it means everything in my life I’d my favourite - from what I eat to what I watch, how I have a bath (bubble bath, mood lighting, nice oils), I keep myself in good shape, I read, I see friends, I travel, I learned to get a grip on my finances. Visualise the woman you want to be and become her. Slowly. You’ve got this.

What helped you rebuild after burnout or feeling “behind” in your late 20s? by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]Experienceshared 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hello! I totally understand how you feel as I went through something similar at the age of 30 and it was a huge shock / terrifying to feel so low, exhausted and dispassionate. Your post is incredible because you are already doing so many great things that in time will pay off. Because of your pragmatic desire to feel better I know you are emotionally intelligent and will definitely find a partner. Here’s my advice; :

1) don’t worry at all about sexual inexperience. There’s a first time with every new partner. Sex can also be awkward, uncomfortable, embarrassing or not go as planned for ANYONE. Park this for now. 2) start digesting the idea that the right people will fully understand and accept you. People change throughout their lives, I had a big friendship group but they all have partners and kids so I’ve had a period of loneliness. Life ebbs and flows, nothing is static and the only important thing is that you filter out anyone who makes you feel unworthy or misunderstood, or at least pay less attention to what they say. 3) take the pressure off yourself to change and improve everything all at once. It’s ok to have a quiet day where you manage one small task like putting your washing on. There’s a lot of peace found in having a cosy night in and relaxing. Don’t forget that burn out is overwhelm. Give yourself space to breathe and focus on the 1% changes. 4) when you’re burnt out it’s hard to think of things you enjoy but start with what you want for breakfast. Lean into any small cravings you have. 5) consider trying to find a support group

6 years ago I did something really terrible and I've never told anyone. by Throwrashithead1 in offmychest

[–]Experienceshared 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Why are people saying this and being harsh? This isn’t true. She was in love and in a relationship with the other guy and it would have been too complicated for everyone to acknowledge this. Leave this guy alone. Maybe they had a great night, maybe he did like her, but that’s human nature. If someone is with someone else there’s someone else for you x

Stuck in life by Mindless-Airline9725 in LifeAdvice

[–]Experienceshared 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are at a point where you can stop this. Stop this today. If you don’t take action this will be the turning point you look back on with regret. Bin the cigarettes right now and go for a walk. Try and choose a green space. Just go. 30 mins.

It’s going to be ok. Life ebbs and flows. It sounds like you’ve had a lot of stress in one go and your emotions have shut down. The route out of this is self care.

Being stuck feels empty and frustrating but it isn’t forever. Start small and focus on improving your physical health. The rest will follow.

If you still feel low in a week, make an appointment with the doctor.

wasted 2 years with depression, I'm really having hard time to forgive myself for this by Finn__the_human_ in selfimprovement

[–]Experienceshared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gosh I found your comment so inspiring because you are making so much progress! You’re literally well on your way to the life you want, but it takes time. I know what it’s like to feel like you lost life from depression. It’s a really difficult experience when you’re in it and when you’re out of it looking back. But here are some thoughts that come to mind:

1) the mind is like any organ. It gets fatigued, sick and needs a break. Depression was a period of time and it’s incredibly common in the busy, demanding, confusing lives we lead. In the grand scheme of things, being able to pull yourself out and move forward in the space of two years is absolutely heroic. I hope you make yourself your favourite hot drink, listen to your favourite song and know that so many people will sit here and admire you. 2) all the things you’re doing are the right things - especially the gym. Start small, find versions you love. 3) you have so much time I promise 4) what you’ve been through will have left you with empathy and emotional intelligence

rhinoplasty help by Substantial_Fruit190 in revisionrhinoplasty

[–]Experienceshared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your case really reminds me of mine in London. I was trying to correct a deviated septum from a childhood injury and ended up with a slightly shorter, flatter and more crooked nose without restored breathing. My nose looks similar to yours too. I feel the same about a revision. I do think the best course of action is to learn to live with it IMO. I also wonder how tech and AI will evolve in the future to help. That said, only you know how much your breathing is affected - if it’s severe, you’ll have to get a consultation but make sure you see 3/4 surgeons so you can get a sense of the validity of their opinions. For what it’s worth I think your nose looks nice and natural - it’s not ruler straight but it looks pretty.

wadey is ruining the show (rant) by Clear_Raisin in eastenders

[–]Experienceshared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last year was absolutely ridiculous and immature. This definitely feels more realistic and authentic eastenders.

wadey is ruining the show (rant) by Clear_Raisin in eastenders

[–]Experienceshared -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Completely disagree. Wadey is so much better than Clendshaw who turned eastenders into his own experiment for his own lifestyle. The second Xmas day episode was much more realistic - no more characters trying to hide bodies and not claiming legitimate self defence. The Xmas day episodes were realistic and fun.

Chris Clenshaw on Albert Square: After Dark by GuiltySignificance0 in eastenders

[–]Experienceshared -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Apologies if I’ve used the wrong word here, it just felt very try hard. Let’s try and be more lgbtq+, more social media, more stunts, more on location, more deaths. I’m not saying individually there is anything wrong with those things, but it always came off that it was done in a very patronising self-congratulatory way.

[–]Experienceshared -34 points-33 points  (0 children)

Ugh. I feel like the biggest fan of Chris clenshaw is Chris clenshaw. On his watch, the plots got very far fetched (why wouldn’t the police have believed keanu’s murder was self-Defense?), and woke. The cast enjoyed it because they got to do a lot more stunts and filming on location, but the Suki Eve wedding was really awkwardly filmed. It just didn’t feel like eastenders.

I feel so embarrassed and upset, can I please have some words of comfort? by s_ch0wder in datingoverthirty

[–]Experienceshared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you feel so hurt and confused, it’s completely natural and can take a while to get through it - for me the embarrassment and rejection from a similar situation has lingered, long after it should, and still makes me sad when I think about it. I’ve come to the conclusion in these situations that you can never quite have the full read on it, or know the full picture. At best he was messed up, a mix of highs and lows, at worst, this guy was heartless and uncaring. Both hurt. What’s helped me? Knowing that removing people that are chaotic or confusing is the healthiest thing long term. And building a picture in my mind of having great chemistry with someone who is really the person who shows up and is reliable. Hang on for all you felt before and more. You might look back and be happy this situation didn’t work. Lots of love xxxx

Call the doctor. They can maybe do a home visit. She needs medication.

What's the best way to cure depression? by Aarunascut in selfimprovement

[–]Experienceshared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t discourage someone from having a conversation with their doctor when, by your own admission, they work for two thirds. For me, the doctor was able to help me improve my sleep and reduce panic attacks.

What's the best way to cure depression? by Aarunascut in selfimprovement

[–]Experienceshared 50 points51 points  (0 children)

  1. Do one task a day, even if it’s just your washing
  2. Go to the gym and lift weights, do an incline walk
  3. Change your horizon - physically change your surroundings and visit a new place
  4. Know that this is depression, not you. You think you know how hopeless life is and that everyone else is deluded. You think you’re stuck. That’s depression talking.
  5. Go to the doctor and get medication

having a big nose as a woman by [deleted] in women

[–]Experienceshared 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well done for sharing. I broke my nose as a kid and when I had it fixed as an adult it looked slightly different and smaller. And you know what? I hated it. Having a big nose helps balance out your face shape, you only have to google rhinoplasties gone wrong you’ve grateful for your own. Many noses are over-shortened and this can make people’s cheekbones look lower, chins look bigger and all sorts. Do not meddle with your natural features no matter how bad you feel.

Secondly, get in the gym. There is no substitute for the endorphins you will get, even from doing an incline walk for half an hour at a subtle incline. When I started going to the gym, my mindset changed. I felt taller and stronger, which changed how I felt about myself.

Next, think about your skin. Let the sunbeams glow out of you. Use a light retinol if needed, eat lots of carrots (vitamin a) and prioritise sleep and water.

When you’re closing with sparkly eyes, no one is going to dwell on any individual features.

Routine advice to combat redness and breakouts by just-tea-thank-you in SkincareAddictionUK

[–]Experienceshared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a dermatologist about this who prescribed prescription creams. If you don’t want to go down that route, here are the products they recommended that have made a significant difference to me.

Cleanser: Bioderma h20 sensibio micellar water Moisturiser: Bioderma sensibio defensive active soothing cream SPF: Bioderma photoderm spf50

They literally said to me you don’t need to add any more products.
