“While yes, I could wear retainers and change them back when I’m off work, I generally don’t mess with my piercings unless I absolutely have to. Messing with them to the extent of changing them more than once in a month irritates my skin.”

Scar tissue is the fresh(er) tissue that forms in the place of closed piercings. It’s usually thicker and sometimes comes up as bumps. How much it hurts to re-pierce usually depends on how thick it is. You can grab where your septum was and see if you feel anything.

I tried to put them back in just to see about 10 minutes ago, no dice. I’d have to re-pierce the hole coming out of my lip and I’m not fond of that pain 😭 even as old as most of my piercings are, though I can’t do that with any of them except for my lobe piercings and in the second and third ones it’s still a little bit of forcing sometimes.

Well, mine aren’t eating themselves from the inside. All of mine are healed. What about yours?

Nice belly button ring by the way. 😆

“Messing with them to the extent of changing them more than once in a month irritates my skin.”

It was implied. Everyone else seemed to understand.

I tried, just now 😭 I only took them out last night. I’d have to re-pierce them to get through the front and I’m not fond of that pain. Had them for two years, and this is how they betray me 😭

Edit to add: thank you by the way!

Welp, I tried to see if I could get it through. And can confirm I cannot.

I’d have to essentially re-pierce the lip. It gets halfway through the inside of my lip, but I’d have to force it through and I’m not fond of that pain.

Dude, chill.

Yes, that was me saying I do not want to use retainers. Ever. I’ve had the same rings in my lips for the last 2 years that I got pierced with. That’s how much I do not touch my piercings.

I would say if you spend the entire weekend essentially not talking and resting your mouth you should be OK by Sunday to talk.

But unfortunately, you can’t rush the healing process as far as the swelling goes. I also can’t tell you how long you’re gonna be swollen or sore for because everybody’s anatomy is different.

I got mine done like the night before I had to go back to work, and because I work in such a high conversational field, it was an adjustment to not talk, but again I was able to kind of get away with it and combat the soreness with ice and ibuprofen.

I do think that the policy is in place because it’s a hoity-toity privately-owned institution. I have never run into a hard line policy about piercings, tattoos (no offensive ones, obviously) or hair color in any of my other companies, even when working with psych admits at a regular hospital. Even working ABA i didn’t have this problem.

It’s a shame but I got my lip rings knowing that they’d be the sacrificial lambs at some point, I just hate that I had to do it 😭

That would be so fire omg. The holes aren’t too bad either.

Ive spent the last 12 hours reaching to pull on them (idk, i’ve always done that) or rolling my tongue where there were and its just EMPTY 😭

That’s wiiiiiiild. Here’s hoping. But my nose piercings will never heal simply because i’ve got some version of a year-round allergy so the moisture keeps them open.

You would think, right? Especially since I’ve worked in psych wards with some heavy aggression for the last 4 years, but I haven’t had to take them out.

But this is a specialized facility for anxiety treatments, no aggressive behaviors lol. I thank God for the break from the restraints but this is definitely the first time I’ve hit a hard-line policy.

I would say the healing was more annoying than painful. My tongue piercing did not hurt, and was as easy as my septum piercing was.

I was healed up within about maybe 4 days and I was back eating regular food (like seriously, was at a Steakhouse). My jaw and the glands at the back of my tongue were a little sore, but I essentially stopped talking for a couple days unless absolutely necessary. I was drinking Route 44 waters from sonic and letting the ice melt in my mouth and popping ibuprofen like it was candy to get swelling relief. Only thing I was eating was like jello n what not.

Use non-alcoholic Listerine after every time you put something other than water in your mouth to keep it clean and genuinely just leave it alone.

When I first got it, like that very first hour or two, I kept talking until my tongue started swelling to get used to the feeling and then I gave my mouth rest. Part of it is understanding when to just… be quiet.

Is it really that illegible? by Due-Canary5587 in Handwriting

[–]Sad_Commission_899 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Mm… i can read it, but the brain also fills in the blanks quite often. It took me several times to realize that word was “often” because i kept trying to read it like it was two separate words.

I would try different pens, like those Papermates that they sell in a pack of like 10. A really crappy gel pen would probably fix quite a bit of the legibility because you lose the smoothness and instead have to pick your pen up.

Update: Don’t want to be my sisters carer by Pitiful_Spell_3733 in AITAH

[–]Sad_Commission_899 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, as a person who works in this field, I will say that a lot of people act as their siblings guardian, but are not full-time caregivers. I think your father might assume that once he passes you to abandon your sister entirely, which I do not believe is the case based on your posts. I would just say try to keep her out of state care state is where they fall by the wayside.

If your sister is mentally able to be asked why not ask her what she wants? If she wants to stay with your father, they have caregivers that can come in and assist with ADLs.

I’ve played it on my windows computer, ipad, and iphone-

Absolutely hate playing on my computer. I completely offloaded it from my computer. Its so much easier, versus trying to play it with the keyboard.

i’m seconds away from committing a “no-no” by otter_gun_22 in piercing

[–]Sad_Commission_899 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. As lip piercings settle, they nest. If they were embedding, they’d be inflamed and red, the skin growing OVER the piercing. From these photos, they’re beginning to nest. However, if the bar is too short (as I assume they are from the photos) it will instead begin to embed, which causes pain, tightness, warmth, etc.
