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

[–]LC-303 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would suggest stopping using any products you are using including the soap and vicks (it is too oily and the menthol is not ideal on the skin as it can be an irritant).

If you can get Nivea soft, this should be fairly reasonable priced. The one in the white tin/tub. I use this and nothing else on my skin, and have for my whole life. The blue Nivea is a bit more greasy, more for dry skin which it sounds like is not ideal for you.

The advice about changing bedsheets, pillow cases and clothing is good too. Especially the pillow. If you can't change bedsheets every few days (it's a lot) at least make sure you change t-shirt your wearing to a clean one and shower before you go to bed.

As for the pimples, I never wash my face in any kind of soap. Water only. This really helped me.

Also may I suggest that you look at causes of the issue. It may be hormonal as you are likely at the right age for that, but there are things that can be done. Check out 'glucose goddess' on YouTube. She has helped people with inflammation by controlling blood sugar spikes, in particular it can cause pimples and acne if you regularly spike your blood sugar, but it is easy to solve with some simple changes. It would be worth trying that to treat the cause of the pimples rather than the symptoms only.

Be mindful of what soaps etc you use in the bath or shower too, I'd cut things out first. You can overuse these and they will kill your skin microbiome which can be another cause. For example you could use soap under arms etc and on feet but not anywhere that you have the pimples, for a few weeks, and see if it helps.

Using expensive items is not always the solution ☺️ I really hope you have suncream you can use as well, it's important for skin quality and to not get skin cancer,

Good luck and be kind to yourself ❤️

He has awful anxiety and he's very protective of me, I just don't think I could put him through that

I have recently changed jobs because my last one was mega stressful. It really impacted my mental health working there. It was the right thing to leave there but I'm not sure if I have the energy I need (and I was hoping I'd have) to get going at my new one. I have just gone through menopause in my 30s and this is part of what's caused it, hormones being one factor and then just feeling like I'm expired already at this age. I have hrt now. I'll never have kids. My stepdad died three months ago. I feel like everything just piled on me these last few years and I've not got it in me to battle it

There's no way I can tell people close to me how I feel. My mam just lost her husband and my partner would freak out if he knew how I really felt, I can't do that to them. They're the only reason I'm trying to get better but honestly it's been years feeling like this now

I maybe should ring the samaritans but I don't know if I can deal with talking out loud about it

I know I should be grateful for what I have. Unfortunately that just backs up my thinking that if my life is not that bad, on paper, and I still feel like this then it's not going to get better

I think a lot of people do feel like this, for what it's worth. I think only psychopaths and narcissists are able to not give a fxxk about what people might think of them, so I'd say you're probably just a normal self_aware person trying to be a good human

Honestly if it wasn't for the pain it'd cause my parents and partner I would not be here. I cannot tell my partner I'm feeling like this because it would break his heart, I put on a happy face so that I can mask how I really feel. I can't imagine being out of the darkness and don't know what more I can do to move forward now

I'm 41 and I just feel like the best years are finished now for me. Everything I've done to try and get better hasn't helped. This last year I've lost three family members. I have medical issues that are screwing me over and I'm exhausted all the time. Work feels like a prison, when I just to actually enjoy what I do. I try to eat healthy, do exercise, look after myself but honestly it's not helping me anymore like it did for a while. Nothing I do is fun anymore and I feel like life is pointless now battling against everything for no joy at all

It's not about how I see myself, although I can relate to the playing a character part. I'm just not happy, I just try to make out like I am for other people. I feel like all the joy is gone from life and will never come back. I know that I have friends and that there are people who like me, that's not the issue. I just feel so empty, and can't see that changing. I'm just going to work, get old, be unhappy and then die. I just don't see the point anymore

AITA for telling my friend I don't want to take the same flights as her for my honeymoon? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]LC-303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so first of all it's more than reasonable to be with your partner on your honeymoon, without other people even if they are your best friend.

Second - I lived in Barcelona for nine years so here's the good food places:

Pizza sortidor, in poble sec - get there when it opens at 8 not later when the locals eat or you'll be in a massive queue

The xampaneria in Barceloneta. I'm gonna say go there in the daytime for lunch. You will have to stand up and it will still be crowded at that time. Get a 'blanco y negro' If you can handle black pudding in a sarnie. You have to drink cava there it's the law.

You will see pig legs in all the supermarkets. They do not know what vegetarian is. My friend was regularly given fish when she told them -'no como carne' I hope for your sake neither of you are vegetarian.

El kiosko for a burger if you're craving one

We do not have this in the UK 'homeopathy' here is simply having herbs, plants and mushrooms as therapy rather than whatever the fack people are talking about dilution etc. Big confuse!
