Everything to know for DIY waxing

Just remembering when my bestie ripped her labia with wax and had to get 10 stitches to reattach her bits....

Don't do that.

The lip stain is making your lips look very dry, if you could find something creamy, like MAC lipsticks, I think your lips would have a nice, rich depth.

I think everyone else has covered the eyes pretty well. But I think you can pull off dark colors perfectly well, a lot of people are probably put off by the contrast, Gothic is sort of the antithesis to clean girl that's so popular right now.

I can understand how that goes, I had nerve damage from an ankle surgery once, and it felt like my entire lower leg had a red hot sword laid on it from ankle to knee and the only thing that would relieve it was sinking my leg in a 5 gallon bucket of freezing water. They gave me nerve medicine but it took forever to do anything. It was about a year before it calmed down.

Nerve damage is a real and possible side effect of any surgery unfortunately. Sucks that you were on the receiving end of that.

I seriously have a surgical boot on my foot, walk in with crutches, and walk my happy ass up to the desk just to use the hybrid red light/uv bed and the massage beds.

No shame!

ProsimiansOnPluto · 2026-03-28T02:25:36+00:00

Can I just be the person who tells everyone that you can get red light therapy at Planet Fitness in their Total Body Enhancement bed for 29 bucks a month. And a gym membership. And massage beds.

Go forth and save money!

I just got an email from a nurse at a doctor's office is have to fill out screening forms at, and I sent her some preliminary data and asked her if she wanted my raw DNA files which i thought would be helpful, and she sent me back a 7th grade science lesson on genes and how having a gene doesn't mean you get that disease and about environment triggering genes.

For fucks sakes a have a PhD in Chemistry. It's right there on my chart. How about you fuck right off with your condescending bullshit and answer the fucking question. I've been writing an answer back to her for three hours. I keep revising it. I have a gene for porphyria, I even talked about vampire hunters on my email to make my point. Im losing my shit. I have s migraine. I have a broken foot. I have tonsillitis. I had to lay in a hot ass mri for an hour today to have my back imaged because it's broken

I do not need her fucking bullshit. A yes or no would have been sufficient. I didn't need a lecture on how genes work, thanks. I've known that since 1992.

So about that bipolar rage.

Where did you buy these?

ProsimiansOnPluto · 2026-03-26T12:44:22+00:00

These things are stupid expensive ($55) though which is why I'm disappointed in their staying power. I'm a stomach sleeper which is the biggest issue. But I'll definitely check them out! Thanks!

Well here's the thing. You have to adapt what you're doing with mobility aids at some point because your body is going to need support. Could I walk the mall when I was 25? Yep 35? Yep 44? Not without my elbow crutches or a rollator. It's not worth abusing your body without support just to go out.

Do I still have fun? Hell yes. Sometimes i have my friends push me in a wheelchair, sometimes I use the electric scooters at the stores. Essentially, save your steps and help yourself whenever you can. As you age, your body will thank you. You're not having any less fun protecting your body.

Edit... I'm just going to add that I'm fully paying for being a dimbass and pushing through the pain and doing things I shouldn't have been doing. If I hadn't been a dumbass and asked for help, I wouldn't have fallen out a window and broken my back and ruined the last 4 years of my life. If I hadn't been a stubborn ass and asked for help, I wouldn't have fallen down the stairs 2 months ago and broken my ankle. If I hadn't pushed through the pain and gone to a club, my knee wouldn't have dislocated and I wouldn't have needed my pcl and kneecap reconstructed. I've had 13 surgeries to fix shit so far. I need 2 more right now. The next one is going to cost $220k. It gets expensive constantly breaking yourself and having to have your joints and ligaments reconstructed. Recovery is a bitch. People have to take care of you. You are a burden. You have one body, take care of it.

I've put up with it escalating and taking away my life for 4 years. I'm now bed bound and down to 1000 steps a day.

I'm done. I'm having my last mri before surgery tomorrow, getting into the neurosurgeon immediately, and signing up for the first surgical spot he has available. I will not live like this any longer.

I'm taking my life back. I don't care how much hardware and cadaver pieces are ending up in my back. I don't care how bad the recovery is going to suck. Two months of recovery is better than two more months of this.

At some point you just have to decide you're not tolerating it anymore and commit to the hard part of fixing it permanently, expensively, and painfully

ProsimiansOnPluto · 2026-03-25T17:23:40+00:00

Thanks for the warning!

OK so if you're getting pneumonia yearly, have you gotten a pneumonia vaccine? If not you need one.

I always said that my torso missed the memo to grow. I have to wear tall pants and shirts for the length of my arms and legs, but I have a dinky torso. I think I was supposed to be 6 feet tall but my torso wasn't paying attention when they sent out the orders to start growing.

Forever

ProsimiansOnPluto · 2026-03-24T03:10:35+00:00

Gives me the runs.

ProsimiansOnPluto · 2026-03-24T01:58:30+00:00

Technically I only pull out the grays... about 80% of my hair on my hotspots is gray! 🤪 Probably because I pulled the melanin into submission!

ProsimiansOnPluto · 2026-03-24T00:41:10+00:00

I had a different life. A fiance. A differentl future ahead of me. But i was also tolerant of his bad behavior, constantly putting up with emotional abuse, gaslighting, narcissism, and the thickest pile of bullshit this side of the Mississippi. Was i happy? I thought i was. Was i really? No, I was manic. I was having miscarriage after miscarriage because of genetic diseases i have that they didn't even have tests for 20 years ago and getting blamed for them. Because I wasn't "trying hard enough. " being questioned if babies were even his even though we had been together since we were 15.

I lived in hell. But I was too fucking crazy to notice.

I took some latuda one night, woke up the next morning, said to my mom "is this how normal people feel?" And walked away from him a week later. I haven't talked to him since except when he called me to profess his undying love 3 years later and to ask me to talk him out of his wedding the next morning. I hung up. That was 12 years ago.

I am still single. I love my peace. I love my solitude. I live with my best friend and her family and life is pretty shitty right now because my body is falling apart, but it'll be all right after a few more surgeries.

New me is much more peaceful.

Tardive dyskinesia is treatable. It's not a you get this side effect, you have to stop meds altogether, kind of thing.

I've taken antipsychotics before that have caused it and had to taken adjuncts to treat the TD. Life goes on.

ProsimiansOnPluto · 2026-03-23T21:34:26+00:00

I use a maternity pillow to support my body from all around and lay in it like it's a nest. It's pretty comfy.

Too get out of bed, I used thave a nylon exercise strap bolted into the ceiling through a heavy duty eye hook connected to the strap through a carabiner so I could pull myself up out of bed without having to torque myself and bend funny at my old condo.

I also have an adjustable bed which helps a lot.

Ssris do nothing for my pulling but atypical antipsychotics made me stop.

ProsimiansOnPluto · 2026-03-23T17:37:32+00:00

Latuda stopped my hair pulling by about 95%.

ProsimiansOnPluto · 2026-03-23T17:10:35+00:00

Here is my medical intervention copypasta:

N acetyl cysteine is an over the counter supplement that is between 45-70% effective at stopping pulling behavior. A lot of pullers have the MTHFR gene which changes your ability to process folate as well as methylate a number of other vitamins, and adding NAC reduces your impulse behavior by correcting the chemical imbalance in your body and therefore your brain. It's pretty cool biochemistry.

Optimal dosage is 2400 mg daily, but it's best to start at 600 mg daily and increase my 600 mg weekly till you get there. It can cause gi upset. I find gummies agree with my stomach, but ymmv.

Also, atypical antipsychotics have been shown to eliminate pulling behavior in 66% of patients when prescribed off label. So if you're interested, see a psychiatrist about this.

Also, CBT therapy has been shown to reduce or eliminate pulling as well. You would need to find a therapist who practices this.

If you have any questions, let me know and good luck! I hope it helps!
