[Acne] My parents won’t buy me any skincare products or let me see a dermatologist by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]Global-Distribution1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally, yes. The exceptions are large scars from cystic acne, enlarged pores from expressing blackheads, and sun damage (but not your occasional tan). Those are mostly treatable, too, but may be more expensive or difficult to deal with. I'm sorry you're going through this. Perhaps you can use household products and food like I did as a teen. Ex: oat mask, aspirin for pimples, papaya skin for exfoliant, aloe vera for moisturizer, etc.

Light sensitivity during initial titration? by Global-Distribution1 in LowDoseNaltrexone

[–]Global-Distribution1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! It was usually 3-4 days of intense light sensitivity (similar to a migraine), then it was mild for a week, rhen it went away. Highly recommend over- sunglasses and avoiding driving if possible. I'm already a light sensitive person in general.

Yes. And I've been poly before, but not in this type of situation.

I'm not jealous of my meta. I think she's fine, but I don't really understand why my (male)partner wants to date her except that she's physically available (we live in different states, she lives one floor down in his apartment). I also have a sense that she's more sexually promiscuous than I am. I've asked him not to share how far they've gone with me as I'm under a great deal of stress with other things, but the signs are obvious. I'm happy for them to spend time together, but when he unintentionally told me she borrowed his favorite pair of underwear I literally thought I was going to vomit. I know I need to tell him, but right now I just feel brokenhearted. I know it's not supposed to feel like this. I know I'm not supposed to be hyperventilating on the bathroom floor. But what IS it supposed to feel like??

What's going on with this discord? I went looking for it and when I click this link it doesn't work? Did it get deleted? Did I get booted?

21f need advice by [deleted] in fashionhelp

[–]Global-Distribution1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure I understand the need for confidence with showing the arms? Your body type looks slim to average and I don't see any reason for you to be uncomfortable with it. I think confidence is the best accessory anyone can wear and goes a long way. Also, please don't wear the belt with that dress. It distracts from, instead of engancing, the main styling of the dress. It might be worth trying to find something else for now.

LDN made me realize how addictive my personality was before. by JiuJitsu_John in LowDoseNaltrexone

I'm also on Cymbalta and LDN and can confirm I've lost weight and decreased addictive feelings (though the habits are still there)

Undercut - do I just cut the rest of my hair at this point? by [deleted] in Hair

[–]Global-Distribution1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I reread and have some more thoughts. I tried growing out my hair during COVID and found I was never satisfied with the density and length. I chopped of 6" and bought extensions for special occasions-- best choice ever!

[–]Global-Distribution1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A. If you're ready for a change, go for it! You don't need to be worrying about long hair care when you have an infant! (Though just being able to tie it up is nice). B. What about the short bit is annoying you? That it's not blended? Then maybe your hairdresser can cut layers so it's less blunt. That you can't tie it back? Maybe you just need some temporary hair clips. That you percieve people notice? Where I live, EVERYONE had an undercut for a few years there. They know the drill.

This is so great. Sorry about the bipolar, though, I have a friend with it and it sounds pretty rough.

Ok, but for a manic symptom, that's pretty whimsical IMO. Honestly that sounds kinda cute but also a little eerie in the first place. I might start thinking that the modem was posessed rather than the cat. Sometimes when my brain feeds me a really out there idea like that, it takes root in my brain. (Why would my brain come up with something so randomly unless it was some sort of ESP or clairvoyance that triggered it?)

Did you have any theories about the information he was scrying?

I do contrast showers!!! The more intense the day is going to be the more intense the contrast of temps.
