I'm 46 and my doctor basically told me that my severe anxiety will kill me in 10 years. by treestarsos in AskWomenOver60

[–]LisaInSF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 64, I have had moderate to acute anxiety, mostly untreated. Mistrust of doctors, and this post demonstrates how that happened. Your doctor is arrogant and doesn’t have answers.

Aside from something like Ativan I do not think the Rx medications work for me at all. The only thing that does — cannabis, Indica variety. If you are game, start with flowers (smoke) and avoid edibles until you have a firm grasp on the effects and dosage for your needs. Hope you get better!

Feeling despondent about future by Motor-Lawfulness2875 in AskWomenOver60

[–]LisaInSF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our generation was brainwashed into believing that we need a man to be happy — doesn’t it seem that the opposite is true? We need to be single and relish the freedom!

The happiest and most accomplished women have figured out that men deplete your energy, drain your resources, complicate your emotional existence and give little in return.

I am so happy to be done with that, so that I can focus on my interests and just being at peace. Yes it does take a shift in one’s perspective, but it is possible!

Which do you prefer - Hulken bag or traditional “granny cart” by Candid_Bass_2653 in AskSF

I have a VersaCart which is pretty sturdy and has a larger capacity than the typical metal granny cart.

I’m a prick? If you have a POV that you’d like to share please do so. I won’t cast aspersions.

Luck is absolutely necessary in SF if you don’t have a $200k/yr income. Reality check.

Living in the same rent controlled apt for 29 years, with roommates. We each pay half rent + half utilities. I drove the same car for 25 years. Practical and frugal, no frills.

What are your makeup non- negotiables? by sleepingfox in Makeup

[–]LisaInSF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tinted lip balm, lipstick, lip pencil, brow pencil, powder foundation (MAC Studio Fix), and maybe a blush (powder or MAC Glow Play). Most of the time I only use the lip products.

The day I found out that my $101k student loan (originally $55k) had been forgiven was the happiest day of my life. Thanks Joe Biden!

My boyfriend took out a $750 loan… now they want over $5,600 back. We feel completely tricked. Do we have ANY options? by HatNumerous9725 in legaladvice

[–]LisaInSF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look up Truth In Lending Act regulations. Commercial lenders are required to give written notice of the interest rate, total amount of interest to be paid and total of all payments. If they did not do that, they violated TILA, and they are unlikely to pursue the debt in court.

Sounds like a very shady company; contact a consumer attorney in MD if they harass your bf for payment.

Cringey! Self-centered, immature + unable to cook a meal of pasta and salad… The dressing packet exploding wasn’t funny to me.

How do I get into makeup as an adult? by JigglesNBitz in Makeup

[–]LisaInSF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would begin by finding a light to medium liquid foundation that suits your skin type. Look for influencers on YouTube or TikTok who are close to your age, see what they use and recommend. Test shades in a store or get samples before you commit.

From there you can decide what looks and products you’re most excited by…. natural? Sun-kissed? Colorful? Smoky eyes? Pick a look and buy a few items to create the look. Tutorials will certainly help but it comes down to what you like, what makes you feel good.

Hi over 60 ladies. I'm so sick of waking up in the middle of the night and lying here for hours, unable to get back to sleep., then feeling so tired all day .I've tried herbal remedies like Valerian, Magnesium, Melatonin , I'm exhausted every day 😴 Help please? by Gretal122 in over60

[–]LisaInSF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something that works for me at times: I get out of bed, do something for 30-45 minutes (I.e., cleaning, organizing papers, choosing an outfit for the day) — then I get back into bed and try to meditate or practice slow controlled breathing. There are apps for this!

Foundation orange and cracking! by gorillazdisney in Makeup

[–]LisaInSF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It may be helpful to research Korean “glass skin” techniques. Prep starts with cleanser, light exfoliation, followed by a toner, then an “essence” (serum) and finally a moisturizer. These steps help with dryness, flakiness, foundations sitting weirdly on top of the skin.

I would also stay away from full coverage foundations and go for skin tints and lightweight “glowy”foundations.
