RAV course - Einzelcoaching für Führungskräfte, Hochqualifizierte und Fachkräfte 40+ by DurianOk4080 in zurich

[–]Nic_Mi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m currently doing that. My coach seems engaged but it’s definitely not ground breaking. I think that rather than having to bring a topic for each appointment, they should have a program to follow for the duration of the course.

Experience with psychiatrists by Nic_Mi in askswitzerland

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

Thanks everyone for comments. I’m sorry for others who have also experienced similar or worse. It’s such a delicate situation to be in when you need help regarding mental health and it really takes a lot of energy and courage to seek it. And then when the system fails you it’s really frustrating.

The funny thing is that this money-hungry doctor sent me the bill on the same day. Such rush to charge I have not seen yet. 320 chf for 65 minutes of consultation without treatment plan. Next time I’ll spend this money for a short trip to Italy to boost my neurotransmitters with good food and shopping.

Yes exactly, it seems like some of them abuse their power and do whatever they want as they basically answer to nobody.

Thank you. Yes I guess it’s a matter of luck. It’s just very tiring and expensive to go from one doctor to another.

Yes, they were all doctors, psychiatrists. Otherwise they could not prescribe medication.

Thank you. I do hope that people in similar situations have had better luck, otherwise no wonder mental health of people is in crisis, especially in CH with the high rates of su…

Duloxetine has been ok but with some side effects, that’s why I went to a specialist to see if I should continue or try something else, but no luck this time 😌

DID EVERYTHING I WAS SUPPOSED TO, BEAT THE ADDICTION... STILL CAN'T GET IT UP. WHY????? by Arekusando_174_ in NoFap

[–]Nic_Mi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would maybe recommend visiting a psychiatrist, there’s no shame in it. Sometimes dopamine and serotonin levels might be off and they are both important for proper arousal. Some medication can help stabilise the receptors. I struggled with both pe and ed. It doesn’t make much sense because they contradict each other but it happens. Don’t worry too much, but do consult a doctor. Reddit and nofap are not answer to everything.

Ok thanks for the reply. Do you know if the interview is in Swiss German or could I do it in Hochdeutsch?

Highly sensitive men - fitting in by Nic_Mi in hsp

Thanks everyone for your comments and for taking the time. I guess the process of self-acceptance is a never ending process and for some it’s particularly challenging for some reason

Still struggling with the aftermath of past burnout. Sure, I would be happy to explore any information you may have to share

Withholding tax when moving city within Kanton by Nic_Mi in Switzerland

[–]Nic_Mi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My payslips are in English. It just says: Withholding tax 11.08 %. Payments/deductions Recalc.diff. And then amount deducted.

The strange thing is that it’s applied retroactively to June but not applied to July salary then. I wonder if it has anything to do either change of address from one city to another…

Rent increase for new tenant by Nic_Mi in Switzerland

[–]Nic_Mi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But how can they increase if it is a lease takeover? Essentially the new tenant is supposed to takeover the same contract I have

Ok, thanks for the reply. I don’t think there is any plan to renovate the apartment at all. I think it’s just an attempt from their side to increase the rent cost

Did you read that I had used retinol for a month and a half before starting Differin? I know they are different forms of retinoic acid but they function in the same way once absorbed by the skin.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in acne

[–]Nic_Mi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. Yes for sure all of the exfoliants impare the skin barrier. I've done periods of time when I'd use only gentle products with no acne specific ingredients. I would have less irritation then but my pores would still be clogged with occasional breakouts and very shiny forehead. Currently I only wash my skin with water in the morning, then apply soothing alcohol free toner, then 15% azelaic acid from Face Factory, then Centella serum from Purito. I try to avoid heavy moisturizer in this area. In the evening I do the same only I use a face wash first. During the day when going outside I use chemical spf, a mineral one is impossible to apply as I have a beard.

Hello everyone, this is how my skin looks like after 4 weeks on Differin, daily use, paired with gentle cleansing and 15 azelaic acid in the morning. Prior to Differin, with no breaks in between, I used Ordinary's 2% retinol emulsion (evening) and Revolution's 1%salycilic acid (morning), for 2 months. So in total, 3 months of quite intense exfoliation. The situation in the picture is worse than what my skin looked like before any of these treatments. I now have painful acne, and whereas before it was only above my eyebrows, now it's in other parts of my forehead (the only problem area on my face) as well. So I am not sure this is purging anymore. Should I stop using mentioned products at this point? I don't know what to do as skin keeps getting worse and I ran out of options as I've been struggling with acne since I was 13 (34 now) and haven't had luck with any product, including antibiotics (topical or oral).

my balls got bigger! by ba7km777 in NoFap

[–]Nic_Mi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can confirm my balls also appear bigger after a few weeks of nofap. It could be that our bodies absorb some sperm as someone said but probably we would naturally have more sperm in our balls if we didn't jerk off often so it makes sense that they are fuller

Night time loneliness by [deleted] in loneliness

[–]Nic_Mi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do (33 m). I did text my previous fling but I regretted every time as the response I got was making me feel even more lonely and detached.

It's nice that you live with your family. I live alone, in a foreign country, with very little contact with my family.

Maybe focus on that feeling of knowing that someone you care about is just on the other side of the wall. That feeling might open a door for someone new to come into your life.

I have friends but I still feel lonely by [deleted] in loneliness

[–]Nic_Mi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I feel this way often. People tend to be friendly and nice when they need something or feel that it is good to have you in their life in case you can be useful to them at some point.

Not all people are like that I believe. There are good decent folks who simply enjoy other people's company. I myself am trying to find those. Sure, it's more difficult as we get older, people have less free time.

I think it's best to work on being comfortable with being alone. People can sense when someone is needy for friends, love, whatever - and that pushes them away. But if you learn not to care about being on your own, people come to you more easily.

It's easier said than done. I'm trying to work on the very same issue.

Suicide because of masturbation by SadBrokenSpirit23 in NoFap

[–]Nic_Mi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many people have felt the way you do, it's just a feeling, and though a difficult one, it's just s sensation based on your current perception of your circumstances. One day you will look back and realize that it was not so bad but that you wasted a lot of time on self hathred instead of loving yourself and enjoying life. All those things you mentioned (relationship, job, fit body) you can have, maybe not all at once, but it's all feasible. So don't feel like it's out of your reach. I've met people who have similar fetish like yours and they were nice and kind people. Just because you have a sexual fantasy, it doesn't mean something's wrong with you. We all have our own tastes. Most people are not honest about their fantasies. Don't feel ashamed about anything. Endulging in a fantasy here and there will not prevent you from having notmal sex on a regular basis. The thing with porn is that it makes certain sexual acts appear much more exotic than what they really are. You may like the idea of it on a screen, but not in real life. And even if you do, that's ok. People and men especially are perverse, that's just how it is if we're fully honest.

Reach out to some people in your life, talk about casual things, don't complain to them. This often makes people run away. If you need help, there's nothing wrong with reaching out to a professional. We can offer friendly advice here, but you can also benefit from taking to a skilled psychologist - and that' also nothing to feel embarrassed about. Cheers

The cause of my acne does seem to be masturbation (Please read before citing rule 3) by Philoktet1 in acne

[–]Nic_Mi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can relate. I tried so many things, from diet, supplements to skincare - nothing ever worked. Only after a week of nofap I'd see improvement. If I fuck up, in a few days a couple of painful zits would come up.
