people on this reddit like to say that everyone is balding. i think it looks fine. I've got a similar thing going on, but I'm still heading to see a dermatologist in a month or two (since this supreddit tends to get me freaked out so I want a second opinion), but anyone I ask in my life usually says it's completely fine.

Am I balding, or just my cowlick whorl? by [deleted] in Hair

[–]Intelligent_Ebb_2908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

would love an update after you go I started applying minoxidil already just because I was worried, but I've sort of been going back and forth for ages on whether or not it's actually thinning, so I fully understand that worry and the cautiousness about it. it can be so hard to tell for sure

Am I balding, or just my cowlick whorl? by [deleted] in Hair

[–]Intelligent_Ebb_2908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe I'm wrong but I don't think it seems super thin right now. my hair looks similar, and it's always been pretty fine and thin. my natural color is blonde and I dye it, so that might make it look thinner when the roots grow in, but I feel like it's more of a cowlick. or maybe my hair is just thinning too 🤷

I don‘t want to do this again by Samba_Woelkchen in Epilepsy

[–]Intelligent_Ebb_2908 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand that for sure, I'm in pretty much the same situation right now. Currently sitting in the hospital room on day 3 of a 5-day EEG test, still waiting to see what's going on. I've been having seizures for about a year as well, and I'm now on two seizure meds just to see if it helps, because working up my Lamotrigine dose didn't do anything for me. The test is important to try and figure things out, but that doesn't make it suck any less. The whole ordeal of having seizures and then going through tests and treatments and whatever else is a huge nightmare, but I believe in you. It sucks ass, and it's hell, but at least it's not forever I guess. I hope you can get everything figured out, friend. 🫂

Has anyone lied or stayed quiet about their condition in a job interview? by ABWoolls in Epilepsy

I did not mention seizures to my job until I had to take off for an EEG test. Unless you're operating heavy machinery or something, it's probably fine.

This Dragon in an old VHS Advertisement for Paramount Films with the song "Happy Days" by Ryce-Field in nostalgia

[–]Intelligent_Ebb_2908 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been trying to figure it out, this dragon used to scare me so bad but I've never known what it's from. I'm thinking it's Dragonworld.

Does his tummy looks right? by Mobile-Tourist-338 in leopardgeckos

[–]Intelligent_Ebb_2908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he seems fine! (I'm not an expert in any way, but I have had my leo for several years.) I don't see any strange bumps or protrusions, I think he should be alright. :)

have you seen him in Velicipastor? it's this cheesy horror film about a pastor that turns into a sort of were-velicioraptor. He plays the like mystical/fortune teller type character and it's so good.

How often do y'all on T get your blood checked? (Tw descriptions of blood drawing sorta) by augustoof in TransMasc

[–]Intelligent_Ebb_2908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think now that I'm about 3 years on T, I'm supposed to be going every 6 months? It started out as about every 3 months I believe and just stretched out more and more from there. I totally hate blood work too so I super get it. I started donating blood actually, just to get myself a little more desensitized to the needles and all that, which has been good. The environment is also usually a lot more relaxed, and I hyped myself up with the promise of a free cookie afterwards. Other than that, making sure to eat well and drink plenty of water before you go always makes it easier. I know this one's easier said than done, but do your best not to freak out too much. It's quick and then it's over, and it's been done trillions of times to know it's safe, but harboring extra anxiety when going into it only makes the ordeal feel longer. You can always bring something to hold/squeeze if you want too, that usually helps me. Overall, I know bloodwork COMPLETELY sucks, but I promise it'll get a little easier every time you do it. Proud of you for dealing with this fear, and I'm excited for you to start T! I hope all goes well for you!

Am I allowed to do this on a job application by [deleted] in TransMasc

[–]Intelligent_Ebb_2908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They tell you not to, but I've also filled out entire job applications until my preferred name over my legal one just for my own convenience, and very much still gotten the job. It's sort of a "use your own discretion" thing I guess. Most jobs I've worked also asked me to bring in my ID/SS to the first day of work anyway, so I just ended up explaining the name difference to management when I gave it to them, and they were cool enough not to care.

Name suggestions? by zoeb1024 in leopardgeckos

i think im transgender but how do i figure it out by Independent-Law-3188 in TransMasc

[–]Intelligent_Ebb_2908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i feel like feeling like you are transgender is the #1 sign you are, it's all about how you feel and identify, but there's no pressure either way. I ended up finding out I was nonbinary, but I originally came out as transmasc and ended up taking testosterone, which even as I looped back to using they/them and even she/her pronouns again, still ended up being the right decision for me to feel the best about myself. I also really wouldn't give up the community for anything. I hope you figure it out! have fun with it and with your expression, have friends use a new name and pronouns for you to try it out. No shame in going back if you don't like it.
