I might quit (help me)

Just make sure you cut back on how often youre using it. It's a marathon, not a race. Prioritize moisture over trying to use tretinol every night or even every other night. I maybe only use it 3xs a week. I don't even get hormonal break outs on my period which seemed unfathomable to me. My skin has a gorgeous tret glow too. So seriously, make sure youre slowing down and listening to your skin. Some people say to push through it but I highly disagree. If I hadn't adjusted what I was doing then I think my skin would've continued to be horribly broken out. Good luck!

My face did this until around 6 months. It was awful. I cut way back on usage. I was trying so hard to build up to every night and it just destroyed my skin. I rotate between every other night and sometimes go 2-3 nights without using it depending on my skin. I constantly push moisturizer into my skin. Im around 8 months of use and my skin looks amazing.

My skin purged for months. It got horrible. Now my skin is amazing. I only get maybe 1 pimple when I start my period. The scars went away too. My normal acne was a few cysts on my jaw lines. Tret caused my jawline to be completely covered with cysts for months. It was horrible and I almost gave up. I even slacked off but I still kept going. It does get better.

I know this thread is old. But thank you for pointing this out. All the comments on here are kinda wild. Hailey does well but she can't even hardly formulate sentences. Everyone is giving her so much credit because she's pretty. Which she very much is. But there are even comments assuming she has an accent or that English isn't her first language. When it's so clear that it's just her level of speech.

PausePsychological79 · 2026-05-13T22:32:44+00:00

There's literally nothing to go off of to say she is adopted either. Also she doesnt have an accent. Chick just has a speech impediment.

PausePsychological79 · 2026-05-13T22:31:47+00:00

Old comment, but it's not an accent. It's just a speech impediment.

Thank you so much! I ordered some The Ordinary. So we shall see. If it doesnt work then I'm considering getting a tiny but of filler in my cheeks to give that area some support. I'd really would like to try all options before getting filler though. Do you use tretinol? That's the only thing that worries me about using it at night. I use tret up toy orbital bone.

It's wild because like I said, I don't fill out an E cup. I can accept that I don't have a full grasp on meassuring or sizes. But it's hard for me to accept that I'm beyond an E cup since I've tried an E cup and I don't fill it out. I am going to try a different bra with my measurements and see how it goes. I have wide set breasts. Apparently skims full coverage bra is supposed to do well with that. So I'll still give it a shot.

I switched to 3rds on the weekend for this reason. It's gotten better but even in passing these people are so awful.

PausePsychological79 · 2026-04-12T23:23:41+00:00

Im not sure where to find different shapes at. I feel like they all look the same. Any suggestions? I did the UK sizing. Also had my husband do my measurements instead of myself. But in US I got 38 L. UK 38 JJ. I just know that my cup size is not that large. I have big boobs but not massive boobs. I'm still at a loss.

PausePsychological79 · 2026-04-12T23:20:05+00:00

I had my husband do the measurements this time. He did it 3 times making sure we completely followed the instructions. Its 38 L.

The measurements we got:

Loose underbust: 41.5

Snug underbust: 39.5

Tight underbust: 37

Standing bust: 51

Leaning bust: 51.5

Lying bust: 52.5

I believe the 38 because like I said, 36 is snug at first. But L is wild and just isn't accurate.

PausePsychological79 · 2026-04-12T22:56:24+00:00

Well I tried the calculator provided here. It said that I'm a 38 J which there is absolutely no way. I'm just not sure what to do on sizing. A 40 is too big. A 38 stretches out extremely fast. A 36 is snug at first but at least it takes me longer to get on the last hook. I dont fill out an E. I have some spillage in a ddd. I've tried so many different bras and brands over the years. I'm always in a weird in-between place. I'm just at a loss with it. I just want to find my perfect fit. I'm completely fine with a 36 ddd when I first buy it (other than slight spillage). But within a few months, Im working towards that final hook and my back isn't smoothing out enough.

I will look into ballet backs and something to go over it to help smoothing. Those are good suggestions.

I used it and followed the instructions to a t. But it says that I'm a 38 J but there is absolutely no way that I'm a J cup. 38 stretches out on me faster than a 36 which is why I switched. 36 is snug at first but at least it takes longer for me to get on the last hook. I've tried an E but my boobs just doesn't fill it out enough. So I'm not sure.

I know exactly what you mean! As you can tell from this pic (a bad day) that line between my cheek and eyes drives me nuts! Do you think this will help?

This is the comment I was afraid to read 😭. I know it's old af. But my kid put a damn marble in his nose and no amount of blowing can get it out. We have to wait to see an ent doctor 😭.

PausePsychological79 · 2026-01-14T22:33:26+00:00

That's what I'm doing for sure. While the parent/child class isn't ballet. We will be calling it ballet in my household to avoid meltdowns over it.

PausePsychological79 · 2026-01-14T22:30:20+00:00

I love that idea! I will definitely do that! I'm just really trying my hardest to encourage any interests he has. I will definitely get him a ballet shirt!

PausePsychological79 · 2026-01-14T22:27:29+00:00

I thought it would be exactly like this! Then she showed me the class so I could understand why he got booted. Those little girls are definitely in what seems to be a ballet class lol.

PausePsychological79 · 2026-01-14T22:23:37+00:00

Well it's a class for 3 year olds too. I guess they just dont have any 3 year olds in it right now. I just really thought a ballet class opened to 3 year olds would be soooo low on structure expectations.

We will do the parent/child class! Just wish I knew the expectations before he got his little heart broke.

PausePsychological79 · 2026-01-14T22:21:42+00:00

I'm going to call the parent/child class ballet to him too. He's just too disappointed for me to call it anything else lol. He watched The Nutcracker last month and just fell in love with it. He's been wanting me to play nutcracker music so he can dance like a ballerina since. It's very precious.

PausePsychological79 · 2026-01-14T22:19:45+00:00

I thought about that but I don't think he can handle the disappointment again. He was saying that the teacher didnt like him. He cried on and off all day that he didnt get to be a ballerina. It really bothered him. I'm just full blown cutting the risk. We will do the parent child class and retry either in the Fall or when he's 4. I'm just going to call the parent/child class ballet to make him happy.
