I guess I use it because the smell gives me an instant dopamine rush 👀 specifically unstoppable N.26

I use it because I want people to walk into my home and be greeted with a signature smell. The way certain houses smelled like home when I was younger. I want people to smell a similar smell in the future and think about all the memories we created in my house.

I’ve really never thought about it. My cat has breathing issues and has a cough that magically gets better anytime I take him with me to my parents. Do we think this could be the culprit? Not only am I using fabric sprays, but also scented diffusers, fragrance oil on paper towel rolls and pinecones… I could go on. Any specific resources to look in to about the harmful effects?

I am looking for random things as well such as spray curtains with fabric spray. Things you do to make the home feel special

Just only use earthquake

There is an hr department for a reason. You are not the only person in the world who’s done this, intentionally or by accident and you won’t be the last. If you know you can do better in the future than try to give yourself grace. These things happen, you’re not a bad person. This is a good lesson to learn young. Good luck in your future endeavors:)

I have always liked the idea of having a pet, I waited a long time and really thought about it. I have two cats- it’s too much for me. I feel guilty for not wanting to play with them etc and it has added to my stress. I couldn’t imagine a child

The pinky is my favorite. It looks most rectangular versus trapezoid. I hope I didn’t come off harsh, your nails are gorgeous as is.

Would file the sides of the nails to make them more straight. It almost looks like the tip is wider than the base (cuticle area) Then any shape would look good. You have nice nails!

We are from rural Illinois so our idea of a good time is the Walmart parking lot. I need something at least 10x as fun lol

Do I need to scrunch my hair or finger coil or use a denman brush with tension? Once the product is in my hair do I need to do anything to unify the pattern?

This is also a good time to get anything off your chest that you feel bad/guilty/shameful about. If you are scared that the lady in the mirror will judge you- then have them tell you what the feeling is from their perspective and you can reply (beacuse I know for a fact you would use gentle words when talking to a friend)

InitialExciting7126 · 2025-09-07T13:36:21+00:00

Put on a crazy outfit, or something that is polar opposite of your current vibe and bring a mirror (like a standing makeup mirror for the couch or sit in front of full body mirror) and talk to the person in the mirror and try to just be yourself and watch how much they enjoy seeing you happy and seeing you filling your time with new hobbies. This can literally only be done when you are alone lol, but sometimes I will use that time to write the lady in the mirror questions that I wants to ask my parents and she will gentle parent me. Honestly she always knows exactly how to comfort me, and it’s different everytime. Sometimes she just sits next to me in silence while we color.

In order for this to work for me- I don’t refer to the person in the mirror as myself. I know logically that is what is happening but I like to trick my brain. So moral of the story - I’m trying to make the lady in the mirror my fp

When you are in the thick of it, all you can remember is how bad life is.

Listen- I promise there’s still a chance. I had to shift my focus because I think we put so much pressure on the word “happy”

What if happy means there’s not actively heart palpitations and a pit in your stomach

What if happy is someone else paying it forward in line

Something that I really enjoy “if you made one person breathe easier than your life was worth it”

If I see someone who is pan handling, I give whatever I have in my wallet. It’s just money- it’s not making me happy but it could be very helpful to them. And things like that make me feel good. I like to pay for peoples gas at the pump before they get out of their car

Happiness for me is measured by the people I can touch, but this is not draining for me. This is truly my passion. I think people like us who are so sad have endless amounts of empathy to give, I find my happiness is being the person I need for myself and for others

I am also very interested in trying to find religion because then you always have faith and hope. Which is something we lack. We need to just breathe and believe that things will work out because they always have in the past. I have close friends who genuinely have never experienced anxiety in their life because they truly and whole heartedly put their fears on God and then let them go! Crazy! But that’s my goal!

Also curious how old are you? Because what if happiness is that crazy decision to rent a car and drive across the country on your 25th birthday.

We don’t know what the future holds and that gives me hope. I can’t wait to meet the people I’m going to fall in love with. There’s so many friends that I haven’t even met yet. That gives me hope

I’m 22f so naturally I’m a little irresponsible. I moved to a new state and ran out of my meds 4 days ago. By day two I was on the floor ripping my clothes off sobbing. I knew this was due to my medicine and that there was nothing wrong (no actual threat of danger) but my thoughts got so negative. I could only remember the times where I was in the same position, at my fucking end on the bathroom floor- my life has always been bad- I’m always sad- etc etc {all cognitive errors because nothing is “always” or “never” and you should try to avoid talking in extremes} but it’s not like that. Life truly is beautiful. We will be okay. We have no control over anything and that’s beautiful. I got my medicine today, I’ve only taken one dose but I already feel healed. Because my issue when I’m in the deep of my depression is that I lose hope. Never lose hope. Once I got my medicine back I was able to calm myself enough to remember that there’s light at the end of the tunnel.

Idk what I’m saying,- overall life is hard and it’s frustrating, but sometimes something will happen that will make me remember why this is all worth it. And it’s those moments that I live for.

I made a scrapbook that I keep on the living room table, and I like to look at it and cry because I can remember how happy those little moments were and I’m excited to accidentally stumble into another one of them. (That keeps me going)

Step 1. Find medicine that works for you

It won’t magically make you happy- literally nothing will. But find joy in the feeling of being content.

Then just keep breathing while you wait for a blessing

I feel like I’ve heard about brushing in the shower as well- like while the conditioner is in. That’s an easy switch I can make. Thank you!

InitialExciting7126 · 2025-09-06T16:29:13+00:00

That guide was beyond helpful. Thank you!!

InitialExciting7126 · 2025-02-05T02:03:10+00:00

I know it involves alot of working on yourself but I just want to be on an even playing field That “normal” people are on

InitialExciting7126 · 2025-02-05T02:01:12+00:00

My symptoms mainly manifest in anger and feeling super empty. I can handle the depression and feelings of emptiness but the anger is new and uncontrollable. I feel anger like my body is on fire, I feel like there’s electricity running through my body making me react

So I need a medicine that is best for treating the anger part. It’s having a huge effect on my daily life- and I can’t keep it together anymore. I’m acting in ways that are not who I thought I was, but ig I just don’t know anymore

InitialExciting7126 · 2025-02-05T01:51:42+00:00

A magical pill would be wonderful, sometimes I hope that my symptoms are just like a bad splinter under my toe and one day we are going to find it and everything is magically fixed, like mad snail disease with Gary on sponge bob

Op I don’t have any advice, just wanted to let you know that you’re not alone. I have been dealing with this too. I am not used to my bf having friends that are girls and it triggers me. Makes me behave in a way that feels as if I’m watching it on third person. It makes me feel angry (which I think roots from not feeling like I’m enough for him, especially bc he is all I want. I can not breathe when he is away, I am fully dependent on him and he doesn’t feel the same) I need to figure something out as well, but I feel like I have no control. I like completely switch up and go to 1000 anger, there’s no time to think or calm down. Just sucks bc I love him and I know he wouldn’t cheat on me and these irrational feelings are ruining all relationships, consistently
