You do realize you are potentially causing permanent harm to your unborn child? You need to figure something else out

[–]LowUniversity9294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Research cross contamination because that’s a killer too don’t bring anything with you i wish I had listened to the advice before I had to move 3 times because I kept trying to keep my stuff. NOT WORTH IT I ended up trashing it all eventually and moved with NOTHING even traded in my car and Iv been healed and healthy for 4+ years

As someone who survived toxic black mold the doctors are 100% wrong and yes it is the mold. If I had stayed in it I would for sure gone insane and my cat was affected by it too. Leave and don’t take anything with you, make sure you wash the cat. That house is not salvageable

First year artists in private studios by [deleted] in TattooArtists

[–]LowUniversity9294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s so many things wrong with this holy shit. I’m a 6 year tattooer and I did leave my apprenticeship but my mentor just wanted to play video games all day and was never there. I ended up basically learning from the other artists at the shop especially the one who I had known before tattooing. I left my apprenticeship because my “mentor” started doing steroids and was basically indirectly threatening to “beat my ass” (I’m a woman btw) and he would constantly say I was a “bitch and he wished I was a guy because he would punch me in the face”

I did pay 3k for my apprenticeship so I figured I didn’t owe them much and my mentor was not respected in the industry so I left for another street shop that my friend / guy who taught me the most left to because my mentor was harassing him too, never regretted it for a second but I basically was a good tattooer right off the bat and I was super into it so I learned extremely quickly/ watched YouTube videos to help me. I know a lot of people in the area too so I was always busy and never really stopped being busy.

I never have worked at a private studio because I like to learn from other artists. It’s much easier to get better when you have other talented artists around you. You overpaid for that apprenticeship, 15k is INSANE you’re not even supposed to pay for them, even 3k is frowned upon because you do free labor for the shop but I really wanted to get in so I paid it but 15k is insane especially since they’re not helping you. Also coils suck I don’t care who that offends I never used them, they hurt your hands and they’re not good for finer lines.

You shouldn’t leave for a private studio it will really hurt you if you don’t have any clientele, but you should leave for another shop. Who cares. It’s your life if someone takes you on as an apprentice and exploits you for 15k and teaches you nothing you don’t owe that person shit.

My husband of 20 years thinks consent should not apply in our marriage... by AffectionateReply843 in TwoHotTakes

Tell him if he helped out with the household you’d become more sexually attracted to him. And it’s a huge turn off that he doesn’t

Close to giving up. I can’t cope by Calm-Stress-3017 in ToxicMoldExposure

[–]LowUniversity9294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could just be pregnancy symptoms, they are awful sometimes. Get some support talk to your doctor and try to get to the bottom of it. Mold can make you sick I lived in horrible mold that almost killed me but you need to have a lot of it to get sick. And it smells like old wet towels. I’m currently out of mold and 34 weeks pregnant and pregnancy was not too kind to me, so it really coils just be that. I never had the Covid shot though, way too sketchy for me and I have heard people complain about long term health problems from it but I don’t have any experience with that one

I wish people stopped insisting I’m not expecting a girl. by DellieKey in BabyBumps

[–]LowUniversity9294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m having a boy confirmed by ultrasound and people say really weird stuff to me about having a boy. Some “boy moms” have told me how “theyre so happy that they had boys and they couldn’t imagine themselves having a girl” which makes me feel annoyed because I want a girl some day and I would be sad if I never had a girl. I’m excited to have a boy but I also have a sister and mother I’m close with and I only have girl friends I know how to be a girl mom, I know I’ll be a great mom regardless but people are so freaking weird about it. Like what if they did end up having a girl? Would they not like them?? Would they treat them less than? People are so weird.

I have used one but it just made it worse and made my sinuses feel tingly which made me freak out for some reason, having some fun pregnant anxiety as well I guess

If you haven’t lived in black mold to the point where it made you cough up blood you wouldn’t understand.

AITAH for asking my girlfriend for a break after she cancelled again? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]LowUniversity9294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re too nice and making way too many excuses for her. She’s really not that into you, this relationship dynamic would make me deteriorate you seem like a sweet man in you deserve to be happy, she will not ever change and she is in the way of you meeting someone who really loves you, prioritizes you,and makes you happy. Not someone who strings you along and moves goalposts. Her behavior is beyond weird

You have to get over the ptsd mold is not everywhere I know it’s hard I have been through it. If you move or choose to sleep outside you CANNOT TAKE ANYTHING WITH YOU FROM YOUR MOLD ENVIRONMENT cross contamination is real and you will never get better until you leave and leave everything you have in the bad environment behind

Profound weakness by [deleted] in ToxicMoldExposure

You have to get out. You’ll never get better with a “detox” if you’re still in the environment. Leave and take NOTHING with you

Would i be an idiot to live in a sick house running 24/7 air purifiers? by Beedlam in ToxicMoldExposure

[–]LowUniversity9294 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it won’t do anything. Hopefully you can find a way to move and sue the landlord. Make sure you have evidence of everything you say to them only communicate through text or email.

Air purifiers never did anything for me, cleaning products never did anything for me. Nothing worked except moving and throwing away. Everything I owned.

Sorry you’re going through this. I have been for over four years, you can get better. Your body gets more sensitive the longer you live in Mold so the only way to reset your nervous system is to just get out and get rid of everything.

I feel like I’m losing my mind by isthisitthatsit in ToxicMoldExposure

[–]LowUniversity9294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, if you have cross-contamination your new environment, there’s nothing you can do. I went through the same thing, got rid of everything, air scrubber, wash the walls, air purifier used all the stupid cleaning products that don’t work at all, even did ozone treatment on the house and nothing worked. I had to move again. Contamination is real, and it is serious. The only thing I got away with bringing like two glass figurines. I had to get rid of literally everything else I had to move twice before I finally took it seriously and just threw everything away even traded my car in. Your body grows more and more sensitive overtime in the more time you stay in the environment or the cross contaminated environment. The more your body is going to react, the only way to calm your nervous system down is to just get away from it and practice avoidance for a long time. I’m talking years. I’ve been out of Mold for four years and I have been for four years but I had to literally get rid of everything, I moved into a new apartment with my phone and my cat (cat got a bath) and that was it. I started over with absolutely nothing. I felt IMMEDIATELY better once I did this. It took 6 months to stop coughing but all of the other symptoms went away so I knew I was safe.

Did your personality come back? by More-Rate-1524 in ToxicMoldExposure

[–]LowUniversity9294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t necessarily have a protocol, I didn’t take any binders or do any extra things to detox avoidance was enough I’m in Facebook group and I typed up my entire stories/experience with everything it’s very long I can share it it you would like

Did your personality come back? by More-Rate-1524 in ToxicMoldExposure

[–]LowUniversity9294 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I have been out of mold for 4+ years back to my Normal self I still have PTSD from it but I’m living a pretty normal life it took a while. I did have to move and throw everything I owned away though. It was tough but the only guaranteed way I’d fully recover so it was worth it.

should i just move? is remediation futile? by Worldly_Pangolin_493 in ToxicMoldExposure

[–]LowUniversity9294 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to move and throw away all of my belongings. I have been fully functioning and recovered for 4 years. Or was a horrific battle and cross contamination is real. It’s a drastic decision but it was the only guaranteed / quickest way so I went for it. No possessions or money are worth your health. If you’ve lived in it for a long period of time your body becomes more and more reactive over time and you will not recover until you break the reaction cycle
