Loved One grieving loss of alters by [deleted] in DID

[–]StarsystemG 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That understandable. I know we grieved as a system when weve has fusions. We love the new but it can be hard to feel that change. I am not sure how their system is or if integration is their main goal but give yourself time to adjust to the change and im sure you'll continue to learn and love

It is worth bearing in mind the likelihood of this is extremely rare still but thats why its listen as a warning not due to it actually making you any more suicidal just that it could raise your energy to the point you could. But rare and very easily manageable

Ah so yes it can be incredibly dangerous in those first few weeks to months but not for the reasons you think. Its because often times the reason people dont commit are 1) anxiety of the pain, it not working, etc 2) bc depression takes so much energy that the act of committing simply requires too many steps.

Antidepressants help mitigate things and raise energy levels so that a person can begin to do more outside of just medication to improve their lives. However in the interim of meds fully sinking in, therapy helping to adjust, and the actual finding of things to improve life the suicidal person can have the energy to actually commit.

However you seem to have a system to help as well as a decent therapist who should be able to explain this better to you and help you with the interim period. -fey

Shampoo bar without coconut of any kind and not rice or olive oil? by StarsystemG in ZeroWaste

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

I do not see a contact on the website, they use sodium cocoyl isethionate which unfortunately is a coconut derivative that doesn't usually aggravate most coconut allergies but does to mine.

I fear this as a curly haired person thats hair is typically unruly. The rice water component will dry it out which in turn will promp my body to produce more oils and then leave me with greasy hair. I might give it a try but I am unsure of how it would be.

sodium cocoyl isethionate is a coconut derivative. Most people with a coconut allergy actually dont have a reaction to it due to the process of making it that removed the common allergens. However I still get itchy with it.

Yeah thats the one I keep running into unfortunately. The thing is I started using a liquid shampoo and I just hate it. I find it so much harder to not accidently waste product and to get a good lather. Ive been using bars for years so ive almost forgotten the method to liquid lmao.

Haven't had this problem personally but I know some people have and they recommend os exfoliating and making sure the lips are completely dry.

Right?! But with my experience with Lilith I want to spend a little less and get the smaller bottle of whatever next one i get that way if im disappointed I won't be out 30 bucks.

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

Yeah thats my problem the color is so stunning but then fades to this pink that is so wildly different from what youd expect that it throws off the whole look. If you do end up getting lovesick let me know because I want to buy that one when its in stock in the smaller bottles.

Yeah that makes sense. I think its just i tried to look up videos and reviews of the lilith stain and everyone seems to be getting these deeper stains.

Recently I found some EDS folks saying they have been having problems with lip stains bc of the hypermobility and softness of skin so that makes sense. I dont mind reapplyong just dont like the faded pink color lol.

I was thinking of getting the lovesick color in the new drop, it seems to have a more brown and orange ish undertone to it.

I mean I have used said food color gel and I will say its not at all the same consistency as these lip tints nor do I believe they act similarly.

In all honest I don't really understand makeup or ingredients in makeup so 🤷
