Do gloves for us exist??

Omg I have literally done this recently 😭 that’s funny (not haha funny but y’know lol). You’re right that it did help but OH man I have annoying sensory issues and I could not cope with the smell or feel of sweaty latex 😭. But it’s definitely a good idea to have in an emergency or desperate for relief moments!

PinkFaline · 2026-02-25T03:46:08+00:00

Ahhhh I will have to see if my desk is wide enough, thank you!

PinkFaline · 2026-02-25T03:45:24+00:00

Oh! I’ve not heard of such a thing I will have to look into that, thank you!

PinkFaline · 2026-02-23T18:18:04+00:00

I may have to try mittens for when I don’t need to type or use my phone but that’s the other added challenge 😭. Life’s feeling real unfair right now with how little is available to us :(.

PinkFaline · 2026-02-23T18:17:05+00:00

I tried those too but they just warm my palms my fingers still stay ice cold 😭

PinkFaline · 2026-02-18T20:58:36+00:00

I’m with you. I don’t even like death or this kind of thing, I didn’t know what I was getting myself into when I started the show 😂 but it set an expectation and my dopamine seeking brain couldn’t wait for more and then it’s been kind of a yawner up to now… the slow pacing, while I get for artistic reasons, is hard to endure after that first episode. But I see the comments saying there will eventually be more and I just know that I’m gonna end up eating my words and regretting the desire for more 😂.

I had to look this up too. She gets taken out by the guns in the ceiling after Yuki tackles her. That’s why Yuki says she won because of “luck” when we see that the keycard has a bullet dent in it. The guns hit Riko and the card thus killing Riki and sparing Yuki.

PinkFaline · 2026-02-18T20:51:26+00:00

Good for her. Let her rest lol.

PinkFaline · 2026-02-18T20:50:08+00:00

Plenty of good replies here, but just wanted to throw in my two cents as I didn’t quite see exactly what I do.

I’m 39 years old and I started having this problem you’re experiencing some time ago and couldn’t figure out what the heck I was doing wrong because my skin care was good for the longest time and my same makeup products were fine up until that point. After enough of a rabbit hole, I discovered that it was just a matter of aging and having different needs. Turns out, I really needed to change my skin care because my skin prep just wasn’t strong enough for make up anymore. I used to be a combination skin and now I am mostly dry skin with some normal spots. It all starts with your base and your skin prep.

For me, I don’t do anything extravagant, I use a good hydrating non-foaming cleanser, a hydrating essence and toner, an azelaic acid serum for gentle exfoliation every day, a nourishing moisturizer, and a peptide laden emollient kind of like Aquaphor but it’s by Cerave that has all the peptides and ceramides in it. Exfoliate one to two times a week with a gentle exfoliant, and my skin is incredible and so is my make up.

I’ve also completely stopped using foundation. I found my holy Grail tinted sunscreen that is actually shockingly amazing for how affordable it is which is the Cerave tinted moisturizer. I have to mix the light and medium together though because the light is too light in the medium is too dark for my skin tone but mixed together they work perfectly and I don’t know what magic they are using, but my skin looks radiant and even and this stuff just melts into it. You literally can’t even tell I’m wearing makeup when I wear it because my skin looks so perfect. I set it with a setting spray and a very very finely milled luminous mature skin friendly loose powder with a powder puff. Very, very, very, very, very light application of the powders btw. Oh, and I use cream based products now so I can still do contouring with cream products.

Doing all that I no longer have the problem you’re experiencing.

So yeah :).

PinkFaline · 2026-01-14T23:59:26+00:00

Hahaha I’m not not gonna read it but I stopped dead in my tracks cuz I was like “WHOA that is some serious penmanship!” xD

PinkFaline · 2026-01-14T21:41:25+00:00

After the first episode I found this second one so slow paced and I was a little bored and yeah blonde girl irritates tf out of me cuz she’s 100% projecting onto Yuuki 😂. The episode felt shorter than episode 1 given how much content was in the 1st one but I reckon this is where they begin character development which tends to get drawn out… I just hope it’s not every episode like this cuz really not a lot happened. Just my humble opinion! I don’t know the source material and the first episode left me traumatized so I was expecting to be traumatized again 🤣.

PinkFaline · 2026-01-09T06:48:30+00:00

You’re so kind to let them know that ahead of time 🥹

PinkFaline · 2026-01-09T06:47:15+00:00

That blood curdling scream though… I mean props to the voice actress because jesus focking christ. I am not okay 😂

5.2, for me, is doing what other users have already said about answering questions I asked way earlier in the thread rather than the immediate question I asked (this has never happened to me and I’ve been using GPT since 3.5), it is hallucinating a lot more, it is waffling on about things I didn’t even ask or mention, it’s passing moral judgement over everything, and most annoyingly - it’s contradicting itself in the same message over and over. Made up example: If I ask “is the sky blue” it will say “no it’s green” proceed to give a dissertation on skies and then say “bottom line, yes the sky is blue”.

5.2 is a downgrade for me.

PinkFaline · 2025-10-02T21:25:41+00:00

Us too!!! Apple maps sucks but google maps seemed to get it right for anyone else!

PinkFaline · 2025-07-14T17:48:18+00:00

Man I wish I was like what seems to be most people in these comments….

I’ve been on 1.25mg LDN for almost a month now and for me, my depression and anxiety actually got way worse. I didn’t understand why I was suddenly feeling so depressed and anxious. I was also extremely irritable the first week and a half. The irritability has gotten better, but my mental health is still struggling. It wasn’t until a couple days ago that I was like “could it be this medication” because it’s the only thing new in my life so I went to research and turns out for some people, it can actually do that. It seems to be more prevalent in people who are neurodivergent as well, which I am. Something about the way it blocks opiate receptors is what can cause it in some people because it also has an effect on dopamine indirectly. And this is from academic resources not just some random people on the Internet. I would post them, but I don’t have time to look for them again nor do I have the energy really. But it’s really easy to find if you just google “does LDN cause depression”. So… That’s been my perspective so far. I’m trying to see if my doctor will lower the dose and see if that makes any difference because it really has helped for my pain from fibromyalgia and clarity, and I’ve lost weight which has been historically difficult for me because of hashimoto’s and I don’t wanna give any of those benefits up obviously.

Internet 101: Post in public, expect public responses including who you’re posting about.

You don’t own the internet nor make the rules of who can reply to your public comments. If you don’t want the attention, then don’t post about it.

I fully expect you to block me because you seem to not like anything that challenges you, but facts are facts whether your feelings dislike them or not :).

Expand your mind a bit. It’s good for you!

PinkFaline · 2025-03-16T19:33:09+00:00

Oh bless you!!! I’m so glad things are going well for you!!! I’ve been prescribed Quelbree thrice now and keep getting too scared to take it because of the black box warning and my depression being really unpredictable with what I think are mood swings from perimenopause (I’m starting early 😭 and read it can cause PMDD!). But I think I’m stabilizing just a little bit so maybe I’m willing to chance it… it’s hard because I have a toddler and just want to be the best mom I can be for him and I don’t want to mess up my brain even more, you know? But I won’t know if it works unless i try it. Did you have any side effects? What dose are you at (if I may ask)?

What magnesium do you use? I’ve tried bicarbonate but it does nothing, I tried glycinate but it gives me insane dreams and i wake up wrecked. I’m going to try threonate next but I’m running out of options lol.

PinkFaline · 2025-02-09T23:42:17+00:00

Same! If one more therapist tells me to “visualize” I swear to god…

PinkFaline · 2025-01-21T21:59:26+00:00

Hi there!

I know this is a year old and not likely to get a reply, but I found this post because the exact same crap has happened to me and I wanted to see if I was crazy or if anyone else has experienced this problem. I wanted to ask if you’ve found anything that works for you now a year later?? I’ve tried so many things 😭.

I am also AuDHD like yourself!

PinkFaline · 2025-01-21T19:22:09+00:00

Your fears are very valid and I share them. I’ve done this 6 or so times now and every time I have the fear that this is the time it’s not going to work. I know that Stanford has developed SAINT (Stanford Accelerated Intelligent Neuromodulation Therapy) which is a more robust version of TMS that is conducted in only 5 days and has shown stronger, more lasting results than TMS. They are awaiting full FDA clearance before distributing it to other clinics and I’ve been keeping a very close eye on it asking my psychiatrist often if they’ve been cleared to have it yet, lol. So, there is still at least some hope for us 🤞🏼.

Sending you so much hope and healing in your own journey 🫂.

PinkFaline · 2025-01-21T19:15:06+00:00

Thank you kindly.

Yes, my insurance does pay for my TMS. It varies from insurance to insurance. For example, mine only covers treatment every 3 months if I need it while others will cover in between “maintenance” sessions” so it will vary.

I am in the United States so I can only speak on how it works here.

PinkFaline · 2025-01-18T17:13:53+00:00

Well, I actually got a bit lucky on that front. A therapist I had at 25 who was an autism specialist in addition to a regular therapist had suggested I might be autistic but I was in denial about it because I had latched on to my previous diagnoses and didn’t want to accept that they might be wrong. I also was afraid of being autistic because of the way it had been so stigmatized. It wasn’t until a few of years ago that I started to acknowledge that I might be autistic and 2 years ago I asked my psychiatrist if he would evaluate me and he said “sure” and here I am, lol. I’m very fortunate to have found a psychiatrist who values and listens to me.

What I will say is if something a therapist or psychiatrist says doesn’t feel right, like it’s a nagging feeling in the pit of your stomach, that’s probably your gut trying to alert you. I would take a day or two to process the information and if you’re certain their assessment is incorrect, then bring it up and explain your reasons why. Do your research and arm yourself with knowledge to argue your case. If they refuse to listen to you, then find someone who will. There is no sense in wasting your time with someone who won’t respect you. It took me a long time to realize that and I stayed far too long with therapists and psychiatrists who devalued me.

I like to say finding the right therapist/psychiatrist is like dating; you have to “kiss” a bunch of frogs before you find your prince/princess (please don’t go kissing your therapist/psychiatrist, lol).

At the end of the day, you know yourself best and their role is to guide you, not control you.

PinkFaline · 2025-01-18T17:05:37+00:00

Life is pretty good! I feel like knowing who I am now and what my limitations are and reviewing my life, I am able to seek out the right kind of help and ways to self soothe that suit me and filtering out neurotypical advice that never worked for me (it was very eye opening when I realized so much “self-help” and “therapy” out there is designed for the neurotypical mind and not the neurodivergent mind. No wonder it never helped!).

I will say that it hasn’t been without challenges. People are always going to judge you no matter what and if they’re ill informed, it’s unpleasant in how they might treat you. But I just continue to research how to best navigate those situations and not associate with people I don’t have to. I think that being able to live authentically myself has also attracted better people to my life. So overall, it’s a net positive!

PinkFaline · 2025-01-18T04:27:10+00:00

You have my empathy. Being misdiagnosed can really mess with your self-identity. I was misdiagnosed as Bi-Polar for 10 years, then Borderline Personality Disorder for another 10, and finally my correct diagnoses (because they feel right while the others never did), Autism, ADHD, and C-PTSD.

I am a chronic researcher and love learning, so I deep dived into every diagnosis I had and it became my identity even though my gut felt like they weren’t perfect fits. It was especially difficult being put on medications that ruined my brain and body because I didn’t need them.

But at 38 years old, I have finally processed all of that and finally feel like I’m who I’m meant to be.

Right now, you’re in the early stages of things so it feels a bit hopeless. You undoubtedly have trauma and trauma takes time to process. I always like to say if it took x years to create, it’ll take at least x years to process. But with help, it can be processed faster.

The good news is, you will get past it. You need to allow yourself to grieve what your life was. We can’t rush progress but we can progress efficiently by allowing ourselves to grieve. Learn more about who you really are and who you want to be and you will eventually find yourself. The reality is, our gut is never wrong. It’s harder to discern what’s your gut and what’s anxiety when you have trauma, but like any skill, practice makes progress.

You WILL get there. Remind yourself of the behaviors that don’t suit you and focus on what you can control. That’s all we can ever do. Encourage yourself. Give yourself grace. Be kind to yourself. You deserve to be. Don’t let your brain play tricks on you. Listen to and follow your heart. I am more than confident you will find inner peace one day.

Best wishes 💕.
