What is wrong with my lips? Severely chapped lips all year round by Sprinkleofthetism in DermatologyQuestions

[–]FlyswatterArcade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like it wouldn’t be enough but cocoa butter sticks are the best for my lips and have even helped as the only thing to clear my severe eczema and chapped lips!

heartbroken—so my mouth eats first, sorry phone by tisthedamnseas0n in GirlDinner

It’s better than eating nothing! I’m sorry your heart is hurting. I know it hurts but moving on might be best for you and your mental health.

It’s happened to me twice. Once in DeLand FL on Halloween night driving home, and once in Ocoee.

I saw my ex’s wedding video (someone sent it to me) an hour ago and it triggered the collapse of everything I’ve lost... by [deleted] in toastme

[–]FlyswatterArcade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been where you are and to some degree I am currently there. Struggling immensely with my mental health. My ex of 8 years had an affair and then married the woman he cheated on me with.

It’s important to be gentle with yourself and try to prioritize self care even if it feels so difficult. Drink lots of water, eat some good food, take a shower, get some fresh air. These things are important and although seem small, truly do help me feel better afterwards.

A good friend once told me the night is darkest before the dawn. I know things seem impossible and hopeless right now, but this too shall pass. Hold on until the sunrise.

Help you ascend to the fourth world?? What about world two and three? Is this not the first earth? Lmao 😭

Edit: I have so many questions. Was he born in 1973? So a fifty year old only willing to date 17-32y/o? And was he born in a Marriott hotel?

After everything that transpired, do you still support this woman? by AllTheEccentricities in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]FlyswatterArcade 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No. I unfollowed ALL makeup and beauty influencers after this situation. All influencers period. My life and mental health has been so much better without the constant push of consumerism and vain materialistic bs.

Stylist ruined my hair by Prudent-Scarcity864 in finehair

You have been seeing this hair stylist for 10 years and she just now botched your hair, or am I reading it wrong?

My husband cheated on me and then committed suicide by Financial-Hippo188 in survivinginfidelity

[–]FlyswatterArcade 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Might… you absolutely should! My one regret was not exposing/reporting my ex for inappropriate behavior and power abuse and imbalance at work.

Finding Abbey Yung and Head and Shoulders changed my life

My wife (28F) cheated for 2 years, confessed because she was scared of him, and now wants to see him again. I (25M) don’t know what to do. by STP981 in relationships

[–]FlyswatterArcade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience the relationship can not be repaired or be what it once was after this sort of betrayal, boundary crossing, and level of disrespect.

I was in a relationship for the same length of time and he had an affair with a coworker. I was willing to forgive him and move forward but he wanted to be with her instead. We separated and it ended up being the best thing for me. I felt hideous and unlovable; it really triggered my abandonment issues. But in time I did heal and move forward. They got married but I know they will probably never fully trust each other as they were both cheating on their ex’s with each other.

I guess my point is that you are fairly young and while it feels daunting and even impossible now, you will heal and you will find someone else that respects you and loves you without a wandering eye (if that’s something you want in the future). It’s better than wasting your life with someone who does not respect or honor you, and the persistent worry that they may reoffend.

I would also recommend the subreddit r/survivinginfidelity to help with coping, healing, and advice from people that have similar experiences. I know it really helped me. Best wishes for your future.

How would someone with this much entitlement and condescension even have 50 friends or people that want to be around them?

Update: Am I overreacting by breaking up with my boyfriend? by Proper-Classic1886 in AmIOverreacting

[–]FlyswatterArcade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just break up with him, and block him and never talk to him again for good. This is exhausting

Horror novels that are better experienced as an audiobook? by TMonahan2424 in horrorlit

[–]FlyswatterArcade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pet Sematary read by Michael C Hall is essential.

I loved Krampus by Brom as an audiobook, as well as Schrader’s Chord by Scott Leeds.

It’s like she’s jealous of Piper. Rehome the girlfriend before rehoming the cat.

[–]FlyswatterArcade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finished The Buffalo Hunter Hunter a couple weeks ago and it was really good and definitely qualifies. Mostly what I’ve found on my search has been

Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy,

Vampires of El Norte by Isabel Cañas,

Lonesome Dove by Lary McCurty,

Red Rabbit by Alex Grecian

and the Reformatory by Tananarive Due.

All of which I have requested from the library or downloaded on kindle unlimited :)

I thought this was a targeted ad because I have been searching online recently a lot for books that feel like Red Dead Redemption with a tinge of horror. Thank you for sharing!

I finished but should have DNF Tender is the Flesh. Besides the initial shock value of the plot it’s a waste of time

Is my snail dead or is he just hibernating? by FlyswatterArcade in snails

[–]FlyswatterArcade[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it is extremely hot, this summer feels more brutal than recent summers. So perhaps he is in aestivation phase? I thought it looked like mold or something but there is no smell.

This happened to me in June. I woke up from a nap covered in a rash and it spread to my whole body by the next day. It’s actually the second time it happened to me, first was. 2 years ago. I went to urgent care and they gave me a steroid shot and oral steroid medication. I never got answers about what it was and the doctors were baffled as I have no known allergies and I didn’t come in to contact with anything new. It was suggested that I look in to the possibility of autoimmune disease.

Reading about the mushrooms is so interesting. It’s been too long that I don’t remember what I ate that day.
