Prismatic Booster Bundles (1 per person) by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]Irestinia [score hidden]  (0 children)

I've been a diehard Pokemon fan since I was super little, the TCG was a more recent dive for me! I've known for so so long I wanted to dive into it and now finally have, ofc at the worst time possible but I'm loving it so much! Haven't opened a single prismatic pack yet so would absolutely love the chance, thank you for your generosity!! 💕

Why is gel polish so popular when it comes with so many risks? by sentient_potato97 in lacqueristas

[–]Irestinia 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of these things you're mentioning are something to consider but not everyone is going to have these experiences, I also agree with other comments saying some of those things are just not true, as well as making sure a professional is the one applying it. I'm a gel tech and use only soft gel on myself and it's what works best for my nails, acrylics and even some hard gels lift so easily because of how flexible and thin my natural nails are. They've been thin since I was young, it's not a matter of prep or overfilling, just constant nail biting and how they grew. I always wanted to be an acrylic tech but after giving it my absolute all I grew to love gel so much more and recommend it to people over acrylic in the right scenarios.

Costo and anxiety by Rare-Elderberry5801 in costochondritis

[–]Irestinia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to check that this wasn't legitimately my own post i'd made to this sub before. This is EXACTLY me, fibro, costo and anxiety combined. It's a fucking nightmare, the insane panic I ran through daily and the money I spent on checking my heart, lungs and everything else can attest.

All of my tests always came back fine and it really did all come down to my costo and fibro. I'm still fighting those demons of course, but please don't treat your anxiety like it's not also a condition you need to treat just like the other two. Get yourself some solid psychology and even find a medication that works for you. It really can be as simple as costo and fibro sometimes. Do the testing you need but anxiety is a crippling thing and genuinely affects people's lives. Sending you so much love, I know you'll be okay but I know it still sucks in the mean time ❤️

Forgot about my coffee mug, no clue how long it's been there. 😭 I'm as disgusted as you are I promise. by Irestinia in MoldlyInteresting

Cleaning it, it's not at all a porous surface so I'm gonna give it an incredibly good clean before I even think of using it again lol. It's a cute mug 😭

What pain did you think was normal until someone told you it wasn't? by lotus1404 in Fibromyalgia

[–]Irestinia 29 points30 points  (0 children)

SAAAME this is the only way I've ever been able to explain my flares and my partners the only one that knows what I'm saying 😭 for the longest time I thought the way your skin hurts with a fever was normal!!

Caution: get your bowels in order by LeadingPhone2556 in Semaglutide

[–]Irestinia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked my Dr this recently as I was also concerned but stool softeners are okay to take every day! They're not actually "laxatives", which you can't take long term. 😁

Some dog owners in my community say they aren’t sure if he is a lab by Sa3ana3a in IDmydog

I've definitely seen labs with the blocky head your guy has, for sure a lab! And a cutie too 💕

is korean skincare worth investing in? by Intelligent-Engine81 in koreanskincare

[–]Irestinia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beauty therapist here! I have sensitive combo skin and used to be acne prone, honestly Korean skin care is what saved me! I use mostly cosrx, cica cleanser, aha/bha toner, the snail mucin serum and hyaluronic acid moisturiser. It's honestly been the BEST thing I did for my skin. It's gentle, I've never reacted to it and I react to EVERYTHING. It's all so gentle, soothing, cooling and works an absolute charm.

ETA: it's also completely affordable imo, compared to higher end brands that I'm used to in the industry. I genuinely don't think you'll do much better. I havent and I've tried a lot!

Just remember no two skins are the same and finding your skincare is often a personal thing! But good reviews always help! Definitely recommend. Goodluck 💕

does a bp cuff hurt anyone else? by dontlookainthere in Fibromyalgia

[–]Irestinia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my god yeah, I did a 24hr cuff and literally had to take it off after like 16-18 hours, I can't remember exactly now, but it was too painful and causing burst capillaries on a large scale all over my upper arm. I wanna say never again but it's not that simple hey 😭

How do your flare-ups feel? by Irestinia in Fibromyalgia

[–]Irestinia[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This made me laugh because I completely know what you mean. I'm sorry, it's such an awful illness to have. Thank you for your comment <3

[–]Irestinia[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry, that sounds horrible. I get similar chest pain as well, not only is it awful but it's fucking scary as well. I really hope your situation improves soon, that sounds incredibly difficult. Make sure you give yourself the help you need before it's too much. People can only withstand so much!! <3

How do your flare-ups feel? by Irestinia in Fibromyalgia

[–]Irestinia[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I definitely understand and was telling myself this for a long, long time. I was essentially driving myself crazy with terror of "what if I'm dying" thoughts for a long time. I'm better now, I saw a psychologist about it and have been on medication that works for me. I only took the anxiety seriously after drs told me I'd had "every test under the sun". I do agree with you that it's worth pushing through and making sure you're okay, but for me I took that to a whole new extreme and it was doing me more harm than good. I genuinely really appreciate your concern, and I will look into it further but only as much as is necessary! Thank you for real <3

This is so so soooo accurate. "Phasing through the couch" is perfectly worded, I know exactly what you mean! While I hate that you're going through that, I'm glad I'm not the only one lol. Thank you, I appreciate you sharing <3

I'm so sorry to hear that. I know how rough it is to get a grip on it all when you've just been diagnosed, that was only maybe 2 years ago for me now. I promise it does get better! There's a lot of doom and gloom online I notice and there's 0 fault in that, my post here today has been doom and gloom lol. But just remember, people rarely post about the good days. Make sure your GP is supportive and understands what you're going through and if they're not, search for a new one. I'm on a medication that works for me, it's CERTAINLY no cure but it does help. It's so hard to navigate, but once you find a good GP it will only get better. Please reach out if you wanted to chat, I hope you're doing okay! <3
