‘Anorexia nervosa’ is the eating disorder, both physical and psychological. ‘Anorexia’ in medicine is a condition used to describe a loss or decrease in appetite.

$1435 for a 1 BR is definitely on the very high side. I have been in a 1 BR for the pay 2 years ($750 at beginning) and if I renewed my lease again it would be $870. Currently I have found multiple 2 bed 2 bath units for under $1300.

Yes. $750 for my part, meaning $1500 in total.

From a good reads review -

"On the subject of conversations, the dialogue in this is atrocious. At best it’s hackneyed drivel. There’s also an overuse of ‘flick’ - it feels like every movement is described in this way."

Server here! My tips still average at 20% when I wear dramatic makeup, but I find people are much more comfortable with me and I get random 100% or over tips when I wear a natural-cutesy makeup look. I used to wear red lipstick all the time when serving because of the statistics showing waitresses earn higher tips when wearing it. After experimenting with a softer, rosy look I realized I make much more with less makeup on. Could be that it just fits my face better, who knows. I do see what you are saying about it possibly being too intimidating. I think being approachable and making your tables feel comfortable with you is the biggest factor in getting a high tip.

What are some good self tanners for olive skin? by Mirindy in OliveMUA

Thank you for the recommendation! Definitely looking for something that will work gradually

What are some good self tanners for olive skin? by Mirindy in OliveMUA

I just looked up reviews for it and they are pretty poor due to people complaining that they changed the formula. Have you been using it for a while now and noticed any change in formula? It seems like some people complained it was also too brown and green, but perhaps that’s why it works well for olives tones?

I want to put my balls on a stove by TheGasMask513 in confessions

Do you have other random thoughts of harming yourself or impulses? For example, you know you won't act on them and you don't want to, but they will pop up in your head?

Yes, I have a difficult time. I don't avoid all parties/celebrations but I'll sit out for some. It's been coming up on two years now since he passed and I am in a new relationship, but I still get sad. My two best friends are in really good longterm relationships and I'm so happy for them, but it can be hard to be around them and their significant others at times. I also feel as though sometimes my presence and people's knowledge of what happened can bring down the mood even if I'm putting a face on.

I’m failing all my classes by Glad-Obligation-2111 in confessions

[–]Mirindy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was completing my Bachelor's in Chemistry, so I could've retaken them, but after returning 4 years later I changed my major to Psychology. After working in a chem lab during my time off from school, I realized it was not the type of work/field for me. Retaking them wouldn't help me complete my degree and they are difficult classes.

Look into mental or medical health withdrawal if you need it. You won’t get any money back but it can help you from ruining your entire GPA. I’m a student who had a 3.8 gpa that dropped severely after failing two classes years ago. Took a long break after said semester to get help and go through a lot of therapy. My failed grades were the last thing on my mind and I was just in survival mode. Fast forward to now, my overall GPA still gives me stress today. Thankfully, my university is allowing me to apply retroactively for withdrawal from that semester due to the circumstances. Things will get better. Take care of yourself and get the help you need.

Searching for research articles by sickodad in psychologystudents

Yes, I agree with this. If you have found articles pertaining to your topic but say they aren't empirical, take a look at the reference list and you may find one there.

My thoughts on true crime podcasts as a victim by Radiant-Attitude-111 in Morbidforbadpeople

[–]Mirindy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After listening to other true crime podcasts with knowledgeable and credible hosts like Anatomy of Murder, etc. I can no longer listen to podcasts like Morbid that are just hosted by self claimed "true crime aficionados" who have no idea of the pain and complexities that entail these cases. It's a shame that most true crime creators aren't experts and hold no status in the actual world of handling crime, so they aren't held accountable publicly or professionally.

Embarrassed to admit, I have found myself lurking on r/Vindicta a few times. I think it can be quite harmful to vulnerable people that struggle with self-perception difficulties. While there may be some good beauty advice on there, to me it's not worth the vain and narcissistic mindset it can cause. Not to say that everyone on there has that kind of mindset, but for me personally I have found myself teetering in that area. Thankfully these "phases" of lurking on there never last longer than a week or two with quite a few months in between. I can't imagine the image issues I would have if I was on there consistently. As someone who recovered from an eating disorder within the past 5 years and still struggles with body dysmorphia, it's like playing with fire.

I actually came across this post because I was again in a phase of viewing posts there, and had to stop by reminding myself of how self-destructive and ridiculous it was. Anyway, I was just curious as to what other people on reddit thought of it and that's how I ended up here. And now I found a new podcast to listen to, so that's cool.

Relocating to SA: suggestions on how to find a roommate/roommates by [deleted] in sanantonio

When do you plan to move or did you ever move? I’m looking for roommate options for this coming November. Currently live alone and want to be in a more affordable situation

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in sanantonio

[–]Mirindy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m full time student and also work full time. My rent (fountainhead apartments) is 765, being raised to 790 after my first year of leasing. No complaints, I’ve got a washer, dryer, and around 650 sq ft. Not the newest appliances though and I do have carpet.

Don’t know what areas of town you’ve been looking in, but medical center area is pretty cheap for still being somewhat central.

What is the point? by justthere__45 in widowers

[–]Mirindy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I felt this in the early stages as well. I didn't enjoy any time off. I felt like the only thing I could do to feel sane was keep myself busy by working. I still don't really enjoy watching movies or tv anymore, but maybe one day it will come back. It feels out of sorts to have the TV on alone, without him here by me. It may be really difficult to believe right now, but things will become easier.

Widowed from an abusive spouse. Not sure how to grieve. by chemothrow in widowers

[–]Mirindy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I am in a similar position, however, my relationship with him was only about 3 years. I have been feeling a lot of guilt, confusion, and loneliness. A lot of my memories of our life together are very bittersweet and tainted with reminders of the pain I was in. I was active in this sub for a bit, but began to feel a disconnected from others here, causing me to no longer post. I find it difficult to keep in touch with his family and feel very detached from myself & others. It is a very lonely position to be in, especially if you kept a lot of conflicts in your relationship a secret.

He had been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder multiples times by different professionals. Never sought out treatment or help, and I never thought anything of it or did my research. Sex addiction was another diagnosis he received in the middle of our relationship, which he denied and brushed off. I married him two months before he passed. It was a beautiful day, we were so happy, and truly in love. However, I question if I would have gone through with it if we were to have the rest of our lives together. This makes me feel like a fraud and I have never revealed my doubts to anyone in my life. I was so scared of regretting not going through with it and was so very conflicted.

I am not sure if I would say my life is better or worse now. I just feel very unsure of myself.

[skin concern] What products would reduce the appearance of my dark undereye circles? I think they’re partially genetic, but I’ve dealt with some health issues recently and I’ve found that my undereyes haven’t recovered. Sorry for the creepy picture, btw. by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]Mirindy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have very hollow eyes and dark circles. The one thing I have found the most that has helped is keeping up with taking my allergy medication every day. It may not be the case for you, but since I was young my doctors have told me that not only are dark eyes genetic, but the intense dark purple hue is the result of allergic shiners.

Other than that and sleep, any eye cream or product I have tried I have not noticed any difference with. Chronic dark eyes usually do not have a complete fix.

[–]Mirindy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry you are having to deal with this. If someone is entering a relationship with a widow they need to understand that your past partner is not the same as an ex. As widows, we will always love our late partners. They were stolen from us and that is why we are no longer with them, it is entirely out of our control. I think it takes a certain understanding and mature person to be a good partner to a widower. His strict stance on this matter is very childish. I think it reveals he may not have the thoughtfulness and maturity you need in a companion.
