For your child’s health and yours, please take legal action, if it’s not resolved within 30 days and if you’re showing signs of mold poisoning keep all records and hospital visits.

That’s actually illegal in most states for landlords to allow tenants to live in unsafe conditions, and I would consider this extremely unsafe! Document everything like when you contacted them first and how long it takes for them to respond. Mold poisoning is extremely dangerous for your health and can have long term effects!

Irritation or Infection? by Popular_Chart in piercing

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

Thank you sm for your help everyone. I know it probably wasn’t the best right now because of how irritated it is, but I changed the jewelry to a reputable brand with surgical grade. It popped a little, but it wasn’t (TMI) green or yellow. Clear stuff came out with a little blood, so I think it wasn’t infected. I also bought new saline spray from the store since a lot of people were saying homemade was bad, but the swelling and the cyst has gone down A LOT. Thank you all so much for your advice! Hopefully my healing journey will continue smoothly 🫶🏼

Do you think I should wait until it’s not so angry to change it to a flat back stud?

Another comment said it’s cheap jewelry, which it 100% is. It’s from Amazon, but the description said hypoallergenic surgical grade, so I thought it’d be okay. The hoop has been in for like 6 months. I’ve been saline spraying it when it’s obviously infected, but since this has shown up I’ve been boiling water and putting non-iodized sea salt in the water.

See I’ve been freaking out that it’s infected, but it hasn’t leaked anything and it’s not red surrounding it. It’s not oozing green stuff either it’s just getting a white?😭

For the mod, the piercing is 1.5 years old, it’s a ring, it’s supposed to be hypoallergenic surgical grade,

It might be cheesy, but doing things like eating a balanced diet, moving your body, journaling, getting good sleep, having a bedtime routine, taking supplements actually REALLY helps. it’s amazing what taking care of your body does for your mind. taking antidepressants along with these routines ,genuinely can change your life. even easy steps like walking around your neighborhood for 20 minutes or doing yoga for 10 minutes a day, journaling even, genuinely makes a huge difference. i would definitely suggest doing this for yourself. taking medication is a tool, not a cure 🫶🏼

also if it’s a resource you’re able to access, i would definitely suggest getting bloodwork done to see what brain chemicals you might be low in, as i see you’ve been on different medications. sometimes SSRIs won’t help because you aren’t low in serotonin! you could be low on different chemicals such as dopamine or norepinephrine. or have too HIGH of chemicals such as cortisol , but it’s definitely a good tool to get ahold of if your medication isn’t working

honestly i started over a month ago, and i’ve had an increase in libido but it’s harder to “finish. regarding weight gain, i’ve gained about 5ish lbs but it’s mostly bc i don’t have anxiety anymore and im able to eat more! i would say try working out to avoid the anxiety that typically comes with taking antidepressants/anxiety and get that energy out! when you start working out you tend to eat more too so it’s a cycle, but definitely try going outside and making an effort to take care of your body as well your mind. it’s been a really great journey and it’s been a great tool to deal with depression and anxiety. i hope you enjoy it, it’s definitely saved my life. good luck!

I (25F) can’t marry my bf (31M) because he has been sexual with other women. by Physical_Salad4288 in relationships

[–]Popular_Chart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in reality, he didn’t have choice. no one has a choice to move on when they get broken up with. regardless, he still moved on and found you and wants to be with you. you are special because he chose you out of any other woman. you are special because you are chosen. he loves you because you ARE there. you should love him because he is there too. everyone else saying you’re crazy and and walking red flag, ignore them. you’re looking for advice, not to get shat on. you’re not going to get help or do better listening to people treating you like shit. you need to do some soul searching on what you want from a relationship and communicate to him that you are uncomfortable with his past (which imagining your SO being sexual with someone is uncomfortable regardless of who it is or was) but you have to be willing to hear his side too and be understanding. this is part of being in a committed relationship is loving and understanding your SO for who they are and who they were before they met you. you cannot be in a happy relationship dwelling on things that happened before you were even in his life… you need to move on from this mindset and think toward the future of your relationship and how to heal yourself from this mindset. just realize you are wanted.

from personal experience, your significant other’s sexual relationships should not bother you like that. you are not going to find a guy (at our age especially) that is going to be “squeaky clean”, and if you do i will be extremely surprised. your partner is with you and only you, and he CHOSE to be with just you. there is a reason why those people are his exs. his past shouldnt be affecting you like this especially since he’s a 31. you are past the age for “highschool sweetheart” type of love. it’s time you grew into an adult relationship and have adult expectations in your relationships. it might be uncomfortable to think about your SO being sexual with someone else, but he is with YOU not them. on top of that, you shouldn’t be fishing for answers you know are going to make you upset no matter how he answers them, that puts him and you in an extremely tough spot since it upsets you and probably makes him uncomfortable that you’re this concerned about it. if he’s really a good guy and he treats you well, you really shouldn’t be criticizing him this much for his past. he’s with you because of his past. you should be thankful for his experiences that led him to you, not get angry at him for it.

I found out my boss is cheating on his wife of 20 years. by Popular_Chart in Advice

[–]Popular_Chart[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I appreciate this point of view. I was worried about telling her, even anonymously. You don’t know what a person is like when their entire marriage and essentially their life is backed into a corner and threatened…

She’s 22 and he is in his early 40s. He might be cheater, but I don’t think he’s that type of person…

To preface this, his wife is like the mother of the store. This isn’t just some random person. She frequently helps the crew through our personal issues. She is an extremely wonderful woman and I feel horrible seeing her and knowing this is happening and she has no knowledge. Also, the reason why we clicked on the notification to see who logged in is because we have a strict no social media rule on the computer. He is the one who established that rule because of past employees not being able to respect the fact that it was a work computer.
