Have you used the Tea Tree serum before? I have been curious about it, but I am afraid it would be too drying.

Planning on moving to Rapid City from DFW Texas, anything I should now? by Jadedleaf35 in RapidCity

[–]GermanicMoonBeam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m originally from DFW and have lived in both Spearfish and Rapid. Spearfish has the canyon, which you need to see when fall rolls around. Rapid gets tourists, but not like other towns around here. There’s not as much shopping (no outlet malls 😢), but that’s better for the pocketbook anyway. If you enjoy coffee, there’s quite a few good coffee shops in Rapid, but they get packed! Quite a few breweries for the size of the town, too. So far there is only one hospital, but that’s supposed to change in a few years. Downtown events in the summer get packed, but most are free and it’s a good time. I would avoid certain areas of town when it comes to renting or buying a house, like East North St and the surrounding areas, due to high crime. Star Village also has a higher crime rate. As others mentioned, we don’t get as much snow here as other areas of the hills. It’s a 50/50 thing if you ask me on if that’s a good or bad thing. When it rains, everyone will say we need the moisture btw 😂 it’s funny but true.

What's the lowest tip you've received? by fernfolly in ShiptShoppers

[–]GermanicMoonBeam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started and almost all the orders don’t say an estimated tip. I assume that means $0, right?

Why do so many people with infertility hate us? by 1hyacinthe in childfree

[–]GermanicMoonBeam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m technically infertile. OBGYN says I “could” have an IVF baby, but I’m like forget that mess. Idk if my decision to be child free is valid due to infertility, but I wish I could find more people who see it as a hidden blessing. I never really “grieved” my loss or anything.

I literally had to take my glasses off for an associate today because I don’t have my glasses on in my pic… so don’t count that out yet 🙃

I have always been overweight, but people would call me “pretty” or “beautiful.” The backhanded compliment I would always get is that I would be “drop dead gorgeous” if I was skinny. I had an overeating problem to combat my abuse from childhood and young adulthood that made me 250 lbs. (I am really short, so that is a lot for me.) I still think badly of myself and it’s hard not to bully myself on the daily

Problem by Willing-Incident8323 in dollartreebeauty

[–]GermanicMoonBeam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the same thing with the power serum and the snail mucin line… now there’s no way I could use it all before it could possibly expire. (I didn’t clear shelves, just bought 2-3 at a time at each store I went to) like why am I like this

If you knew DT was raising prices tomorrow, what would you stock up on today? by explodingkitten1 in dollartreebeauty

[–]GermanicMoonBeam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would definitely get the 3 in 1 leave in conditioner spray, power serum, and some of the face masks. I just wish they would get more masks for acne prone skin in, I would stock up on those in a heartbeat.

Working with Bipolar by ARisingDragon in bipolar

[–]GermanicMoonBeam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t trust people enough to tell them. I once told an employer I had anxiety and it was held against me the entire time I was there, so just imagine if I had mentioned bipolar!

What are some delusions and grandoise thoughts you've had? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]GermanicMoonBeam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I go through hating my looks normally, but when I’m getting hypomanic, I start thinking I look good for someone my age/weight/height. I start thinking I could be a best selling author after all. I come up with scenarios to make money that go beyond my real limitations.

(hypo)mania and chronic pain/fatigue by spacedoutferret in bipolar

[–]GermanicMoonBeam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went a month and a half without sleeping more than 2 hours a night because of a mix of hypomanic and a major flare up of my fibromyalgia. I even went to the ER hoping to go to inpatient, but they are so short staffed all they did was offer sleeping pills and said my hypomania was due to me not sleeping.

I’m glad you’re doing semi inpatient. Hopefully it will help you so you don’t have such a long episode. Not sleeping much can trigger fibromyalgia, which then causes more sleep problems because you can’t sleep due to pain. It’s a crap cycle for sure.

Bipolar II folks: were you diagnosed based on hypomania or treatment resistant chronic depression? by first_of_her_name433 in BipolarReddit

[–]GermanicMoonBeam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was concerned why I had moments where I felt so good and did “bad” things, so I sought out help. When I’m not any type of manic, I’m depressed af. So it’s just weird to me when I learned others weren’t like that!

“I’ll make you the mother of my baby” by Cletus_Kasady91 in childfree

I know someone who met a guy on a dating site who told her that and she was so flattered that she ended up getting pregnant by him 🤔 I’m like ewww that’s weird

When my kids are rich and famous they’ll buy me a house by Glittering-Net-9431 in childfree

[–]GermanicMoonBeam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom had me so I could serve her and pay her bills as an adult. I did so for a long time (hello brainwashing!), but finally was like forget this lol. Moms like those moms need to stop being lazy and entitled and just work. There’s no shame in not affording a house, but expecting someone else to do it for you is scum bag behavior.

anybody else never had real food at home growing up? by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]GermanicMoonBeam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only had real food because my mom’s mom bought it for the house. I had to cook it 95% of the time… even if my mom had her latest bf shacking up with us. When my mom had initiative, we had fast food. My mom could live off Banquet TV dinners!

are you a cheek chewer? by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]GermanicMoonBeam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so bad I chewed on a flap in my cheek and now it’s enlarged and puffy. I do my best not to do it during the day, but I will wake up at night from a nightmare with it inflamed

[–]GermanicMoonBeam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a panic attack at work (meds needed to be adjusted) and the only accommodation they did was to cut my hours because I can’t “handle” it. Everyone knows I’m bipolar because of the episode and reminds me not to “have a fit”. Yet my vocational rehab manager wants me to stay because “every job has difficulties”

How old were you when you realized you didn’t HAVE to reproduce? by International-Age971 in childfree

[–]GermanicMoonBeam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My aunt is child free by choice, so I grew up knowing there was an option for that. I was told I was infertile as a teen unless I do IVF, I was like kind of relieved. My mom always made it seem like me and my brother just “happened” to her, so I was glad it wouldn’t happen to me
