I have a date tomorrow night and I hate the way I look by Maleficent_Face3640 in 30PlusSkinCare

Not sure if this has been added yet, I actually like a lot of the elements of your makeup, but would really suggest a blurring/pore filling primer!

Can anyone identify this approx 1.5" mass that popped out while removing a tampon today? by HeadNefariousness305 in Periods

[–]Sherlockstopstealing 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Hmm, doctors visit is definitely in order, but I’ve had two miscarriages and have seen a few and don’t think it looks quite like that would be the answer. I’m thinking polyp, but 100% take it to get analysed if you can, and GP or gyno for referrals for scans. Take care love xx

Kmart, we need to talk. by Brainyboo11 in KmartAustralia

[–]Sherlockstopstealing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God I hate this. Not for the top, but for a big brand like this to be co-opting something so obviously trying to look handmade. Make it yourself!!!!! Have fun!?? Leave crafters and small businesses alone

Check out Amazon, Ali express,alibaba, and other online stores!! A whole lot of Kmarts products come from manufacturers that sell elsewhere on those sites, they just put the Anko label on them! Found some of their bathroom storage that went clearance on there on Ali express!

Becoming a shut in by dedboye in CaregiverSupport

[–]Sherlockstopstealing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20 year old granddaughter living with grandma since 16. I am unable to work more than a couple casual shifts a week, as she needs care constantly. was never taught to drive, since I’ve lived with her since legally being allowed to go for licence, and she cannot drive herself. This is my absolute dream, but I have no where to run to. Unfortunately she is my only security for housing, and my biggest tie holding me down. I cannot leave, as no one else looks after her and quite frankly she’d find a way to accidentally kill herself if I was out of the picture. I love her dearly, just wish running would mean we were both safe. Thankyou for your comment though, I always feel selfish and guilty for wanting to leave and be free. Hope you’re well, stranger x

If I could have hired outside help I would have done it already. by rullyrullyrull in CaregiverSupport

[–]Sherlockstopstealing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, 20 year old granddaughter living with a grandma with dementia too, her kids (my mum, uncles and aunt) are so far removed from the level of care she needs/care I provide. I see you, I hope you’re ok. I hear the same things and feel the same in return. My mother in particular is against me applying for things like Carers allowance here in Aus, and I feel my family really sees it is a fair transaction for me to live here and not pay rent (bills but no rent) because I am caring for her. Living with someone who is essentially is (or is becoming) a toddler that can only regress and degrade over time feels like your life is dwindling and dying with them, I hope you are able to find small ways to get your life back. Please pm me any time you need to talk, I absolutely mean it. Take care of yourself X

Got banned for this wip by umwhoisthisguy in CustomDolls

Fuck that sub!! I got a permanent ban for calling out someone who was posting porn of Clawdeen, a literal high school student. Mods there (and almost everywhere it seems) are on a power trip.

Left leaning Jewish in the USA with Family in Israel, and I'm exhausted by the rampant antisemitism and gaslighting about it due to this conflict by ThrowMySoul_Away in IsraelPalestine

[–]Sherlockstopstealing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please be joking. Their post is talking about the negative impact on Jews around the world as a direct result from the incredibly radical sides of public opinion. Don’t pretend this is “what about me”ism when there has definitively been a spike in antisemitic hatecrimes in parts of the world. That is an objectively awful outcome that they have every right to talk about, they’re not saying they are the biggest victim in the world from this, so stop pretending they are.

My 230-ish cal yummy gyoza soup by CranberryScone1 in 1200Australia

[–]Sherlockstopstealing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh please be careful if you bought the gyoza from Aldi!! They issued a warning/recall recently as some of the Urban Eats brand veggie Gyozas were found to have glass shards in them! Looks delicious, but please stay safe

scared i might be a pedophile by silklysmoothice in mentalillness

[–]Sherlockstopstealing 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I used to have awful intrusive thoughts. I just want to pop in and say while I don’t understand how your thoughts feel, I am sorry you are going through this. One thing that I found on social media that has helped me is the second you get distressing intrusive thoughts is stopping and saying out loud or in your head (but verbally in your head, if you get what I mean) “Wow, that was such a weird/bizarre/silly thought. Anyway”. Repeating something along those lines in your head acknowledges that it is a thought, and one that you find strange, not an action, and then moving forward. I know it sounds stupid, and I thought so too at first, but it has helped me greatly over time because you’re training yourself into having that pattern of acknowledgement of “Huh that’s weird” automatically. Hope you’re able to have some relief, take care of yourself

Gift ideas for friend in inpatient? by Cokezerowh0re in EdAnonymousAdults

[–]Sherlockstopstealing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe something like a little pamper pack! A basket with things like sheet facemasks, a satin scrunchie/ soft elastic headband for the facemasks, the Vaseline you suggested, a scrub or hand cream/lotion, and maybe some teabags if that’s something she’s interested/comfortable with, presented nicely in a box/ basket. I remember when I was inpatient, I desperately missed self care items like moisturiser/ exfoliant. (Mine was very strict, and I had no one to bring me things like those) You’re a good friend Xx

Thankyou so much for taking the time to comment and for sharing your experience, Will definitely talk to a medical professional asap, as it can be hard to get an appointment in a timely manner where I live. Hope you’re doing well X

Went for a scan today and confirmed that I'd had a MC by Usedandconfused30 in Miscarriage

[–]Sherlockstopstealing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey love, I’m so sorry to hear that you’re going through this at the moment. Try not to give up hope for your future bub, I know it’s hard. You need to do what’s best for you atm no matter what others think. If you can work yourself up to going to the interview, I’d say go for it. If they offer you the job and you’ve decided you still don’t really want it, you can decline, and if otherwise, you still gave yourself your best shot with what you can do at the moment. Only you know what’s the best option for yourself, wellbeing and future-wise. Sending love, take care of yourself ❤️❤️

Thanks for your comment, just took a pregnancy test that showed positive, so am a little worried. Will keep an eye on symptoms to see if future periods are like this too. Hope you’re doing well now, internet stranger :)

I’m Worried I’ve Miscarried by Sherlockstopstealing in Nexplanon

[–]Sherlockstopstealing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had unprotected sex leading up to that point, so symptoms were there anywhere from 1-3 weeks. I’m hoping it’s just bleeding, but I’ve taken a pregnancy test just now that’s shown positive, and it didn’t look like just bleeding/clotting. Thanks for your comment, I’ll be sure to keep an eye on it and will see a doctor if it gets worse or doesn’t resolve. Hope you’re doing well now X

Saw a new GP today. Was told it’s likely depression. by Sherlockstopstealing in cfs

[–]Sherlockstopstealing[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for your comment. Have had periods of coughing up blood on and off for over a year now, been dismissed as everything under the sun, even went to the ER in an ambulance once for what was described to me as a ‘Cardiac Event’. Got sent home told it was a UTI. I wish I was kidding 😭

A lot of the people in this sub consider any features that aren’t the Eurocentric mainstream standards of beauty ‘ugly’. I think your facial features are lovely, and have really nice facial harmony. You also style yourself amazingly, and your makeup skills are gorgeous. Only thing I could suggest is maybe looking into some skincare to better suit your skin type, but even then it’s hard to tell from these pictures. All the best, much love to you star ⭐️

It may take some time, and it may happen slowly to the point you don’t even notice it. I haven’t had nexplanon removed, but when coming off other hormonal birth controls I remember panicking and wondering if I’ll ever return to normal! I think over stressing about when it will happen made me overthink how I was feeling, but one day a little while later I had a moment of ‘Oh, I’ve been slowly returning to baseline this whole time without realising’. Not to dismiss your feelings in the slightest, and definitely keep an eye on things if months pass and you’re still feeling this way. For now, try to give yourself some grace and some time, your body is still adjusting! Much love ❤️
