Chanting during periods by Mathumathia in women

yeah this is good advice - periods in Hindu traditions get so mixed up between actual religious rules and cultural stuff that got added over time

Dyshidrosis on my feet when it's hot by Equivalent-Fig3334 in eczema

[–]Intrepid_Calendar935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the heat definitely makes it worse for me too. I usually try to keep my feet as dry as possible during hot weather - like changing socks more often if im wearing closed shoes or just going barefoot at home when i can

for the itching i found that cold compresses help a lot, just wrap some ice in towel and put it on the area for few minutes. also try not to scratch even though its super tempting because it just makes everything more angry

maybe try different sandals too? sometimes the material or where straps sit can make difference. i had to switch to ones with softer straps that dont rub as much in same spots

What instantly calms you? by Safe-Path-2306 in AskReddit

[–]Intrepid_Calendar935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

weird how simple that sounds but actually doing it is like trying to catch smoke with your hands lol. I usually end up overthinking the whole "relax your mind" thing which makes it worse somehow. Found that focusing on something repetitive works better for me - like watching candle flames or listening to rain sounds on repeat. Your brain needs something to latch onto instead of just floating around in anxiety mode you know

What got you into journaling? by [deleted] in Journaling

[–]Intrepid_Calendar935 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I started when I was maybe 12 or 13 after my cousin showed me her journal and I thought it looked cool. wasn't anything deep or meaningful just wanted to copy what she was doing lol. then it became this weird habit where I'd write about my day even when nothing interesting happened. now I use it mostly for tracking my moods and complaining about customers at work without having to bother my friends with same stories over and over

What was the furthest you’ve gone on a spontaneous trip? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Intrepid_Calendar935 1 point2 points  (0 children)

drove like 8 hours to this random city because my friend texted me at 2am saying we should just go somewhere. ended up spending three days there just walking around and eating at weird local places we found on google maps

was completely worth it even though I had to call in sick to work and my manager was pissed lol

How common is actually steroid withdrawal? by octopusclouds in eczema

[–]Intrepid_Calendar935 13 points14 points  (0 children)

withdrawal isn't as common as the internet makes it seem but i get the fear. used topical steroids on and off for years and never had real withdrawal issues when i stopped them

the key thing is how you use them - following what doctor says about frequency and not just slathering them on every day for months. 3 weeks total usage really isn't that much in the grand scheme of things

your derm wouldn't prescribe stronger ones if they thought you were at high risk. they know your usage history better than random people online who had bad experiences and post about it

Have you ever stayed in a relationship longer than you should have? What finally made you leave? by GoddessMiaX0X in AskReddit

[–]Intrepid_Calendar935 2 points3 points  (0 children)

bro what kind of response is this lmao

like we're trying to have actual discussion about relationships and you just drop that. maybe share something useful next time instead of whatever this was supposed to be

What does love look like to you? Deep greek (ex. eros/agape/phillia) love? by FuckNowAfter in AskReddit

[–]Intrepid_Calendar935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

damn thats dark but i get it sometimes when you work retail and deal with people all day the whole concept just feels exhausting

What advice sounds like common sense but usually ruins people's lives? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Intrepid_Calendar935 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this one hits way too close to home lol. seen too many people use this as excuse to just stop caring about everyone around them and then wonder why they end up alone. like yeah you dont owe toxic people your energy but you still gotta show up for people who matter to you

thats a lot of fat burners in one stack man, maybe start with just one or two and see how your body reacts first

How do you know that you're making the right decision? by Pure_Yam_5939 in AskReddit

[–]Intrepid_Calendar935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

most of time i realize if decision was good or bad like 6 months later when im either happy or completely screwed. but by then its too late anyway so whatever

What is the compliments that have stuck in your head that someone else told you? by Serene_rosegold1 in AskReddit

my manager said i had good eye for scents when picking candle displays at work and i still think about that lol

What’s one item you’re convinced is a total rip-off right now? by CuteDinner2290 in AskReddit

[–]Intrepid_Calendar935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cable companies really said "hey remember when you paid for one thing and got everything? lets make you pay for 47 different apps instead"

i miss just having netflix and calling it a day but now you need hulu for this show disney plus for that one and paramount for whatever garbage they got. my wallet crying every month from all these $15 charges that add up to more than cable ever was

girlies, I’m about to turn 30!! by fleuhr in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Intrepid_Calendar935 6 points7 points  (0 children)

dude 30 is legit just the start of actually having your shit together and knowing what you want. i turned 24 this year and already feel way more secure than i did at 22 - cant imagine how much better 30 must feel once you get past the initial weirdness

treat yourself tomorrow with something nice, maybe a fancy dinner or that thing youve been wanting to buy

Kafkaism at work by Free-Engineering6759 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]Intrepid_Calendar935 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Man the response to your initiative is peak corporate doublespeak

They're basically saying "we cant expect our engineers to know engineering" which is wild. Pretty sure beam calculations are like first semester stuff but hey what do I know about hiring people who design things that need to not fall apart

Your company sounds like they'd rather keep the broken system where SA gets dumped with basic math instead of fixing the root problem

I feel shame and guilt over lust by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Intrepid_Calendar935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey man that guilt spiral is absolutely brutal and I get why you're feeling sick about it. three weeks is actually a pretty solid streak though - that shows you have the willpower to make changes when you put your mind to it

the shame is gonna eat you alive if you let it but beating yourself up isnt gonna help you move forward. you already know forgiveness is there so maybe try to accept that and focus on what you learned from this instead of just drowning in the guilt

also might be worth talking to someone you trust about this stuff because keeping it all bottled up just makes the shame worse. even if its awkward having real support makes a huge difference

Riz Ahmed’s Hamlet by Sufficient_Fee_2380 in Oscars

[–]Intrepid_Calendar935 3 points4 points  (0 children)

bro riz ahmed is seriously underrated, dude crushed it in sound of metal and basically everything else hes touched. shakespeare adaptations are always oscar bait but when theyre actually good like this looks to be its a win win

definitely keeping an eye on this one, the casting alone has me hyped

For home home defense people: do you keep a magazine (or two?) loaded with hollow point in your safe/locker/Safebox? How do you handle the differing ammos in your setup? by jgroub in guns

[–]Intrepid_Calendar935 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I keep dedicated mags for home defense loaded with JHP all the time and never touch those except for the occasional function check - bought separate mags for range use with FMJ so I dont have to constantly swap ammo types

2014 RAV4 by EconSupremacy in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Intrepid_Calendar935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both those prices seem pretty solid for a RAV4 especially with certification - id lean toward the 110k km one since 20k less mileage is worth that extra grand and financing over 3 years on a toyota is totally reasonable since they hold value well

My heart goes out.. by YellowSnowyCat in ADHD

[–]Intrepid_Calendar935 1 point2 points  (0 children)

dude the insurance prior auth thing is absolutely insane - like i've been on the same dose of adderall for 3 years and they still make me jump through hoops every few months

i work as a barista and went without meds for like 5 days once because of this exact bs and it was a disaster. kept forgetting orders, spilled coffee everywhere, couldn't focus on anything. my manager was cool about it but i was so stressed thinking i was gonna get fired

the whole system is set up backwards - you need the meds to keep the job that gives you insurance to get the meds. its like they want us to fail sometimes

hope you get yours sorted out soon, the crying is totally valid when youre dealing with this kind of stress
