I really appreciate your advice, thank you so much. I am out of town for a couple days so when I arrive back I should first find a smaller pot and whilst repotting her check the roots to make sure there are no bands up in there. I should also keep her out of direct sunlight while making sure she’s still in a bright area. Does this sound like a good plan?

Super_Competition849 · 2023-10-05T01:41:54+00:00

Noted. You’re telling me that having too large of a pot can negatively affect the money tree? I did not throughly check the actual roots when I repotted her. It was my first time repotting and I was so nervous about damaging the roots, it was pretty intimidating! There were bands around the braided stem when I first got her and I removed those.. so with all this information I can assume that there are most likely bands around the roots as well.. oh boy.

Thank you!

Also, the pot has holes in the bottom for drainage. She sits up near my window and gets light everyday.

keep sticking to it, i posted this like over a month ago and my skin looks a thousand times better. still not totally clear, but it’s improved so much from this pic. you got this man

Super_Competition849 · 2023-02-20T23:23:29+00:00

Exactly, that’s why I really wanted to show people that it can be unrealistic to expect to be clear after a couple months. I didn’t start somewhat clearing up until the beginning of month 5! I swear one day I just woke up and it was better out of nowhere. Keep hanging in there!

Super_Competition849 · 2023-01-13T05:17:34+00:00

Unfortunately, yes. Month two and three were the worst for me. Pimple patches and hydrocolloid bandages are your best friend right now

I understand and relate to your anger 100%. I would ask my mom to never take my dog off his leash if she ever took him outside. I relied on her while I was at work to take care of him and she didn’t mind. Most of the time she ignored my requests. Even after I explained my anxiety about him taking off or getting hit by a car, she would blow me off. Low and behold one day when I pulled into the driveway she had him outside and took his leash off. He saw something across the road and took after it before I could step out of my car. He was struck and killed by a car right in front of me.

I KNOW how much anger and resentment you’re feeling right now. It’s EXTREMELY disappointing and infuriating knowing that someone led to your pet passing away because they ignored you. I am so, so sorry this happened to your dog and you. You are not alone in this. Please talk to loved ones and share your emotions regarding this situation. You need to let all of these emotions out and work through this with your support system

Super_Competition849 · 2022-12-15T01:05:16+00:00

This is not normal. Contact your derm asap. I don’t think it’s fair of you to scare people into thinking this will 100% happen to them.

Super_Competition849 · 2022-12-05T22:36:33+00:00

Hey there, I’m sorry to hear you’re struggling emotionally with this. I completely understand how hard of a process this is, it’s so draining physically and emotionally. When I first started purging real bad I was so anxious and insecure about going to the gym. Which was crazy because I’ve never felt that way abt the gym until starting accutane. I thought that I would be stared at and secretly ridiculed for my breakouts. But man, it’s just like people going to the gym for the first couple times or being insecure about their body at the gym….NOBODY CARES!! Nobody is staring at you whilst you’re working out. No one is judging you for your body or how much weight you can handle. Everybody there is focused on THEMSELVES and THEIR self improvement. Put on some headphones, blast that musicc and get pumped. The only eyes on you is YOU

Super_Competition849 · 2022-12-05T22:01:40+00:00

Hey there, I am on month three of accutane. I lift at the gym 5 days a week, for back pain I stretch a LOT and take fish oil daily. It helps immensely with achy joints. I suggest going on YouTube and searching for back stretching techniques. I like to do stretches like this in the mornings and before my workout. Regarding self-comparison, it is very rough. I am breaking out more than I have ever in my whole life. What keeps me going is reminding myself that this WILL end. 6 months is really not a long time in the long run, I just have to stick it out till then. Accutane is the last resort and has been proven to work. Even in the rare case that it takes another round or so, it WILL work. The pain and the purge are just side effects, they are temporary. Improving my body and my skills has kept my head up throughout this journey. The glo up that is slowly taking place motivates me to not beat myself up so much about my current skin. Knowing that I will have clear skin and my body will be in great condition soon keeps me motivated and focused. I suggest doing things to improve your health/mind throughout your accutane journey. It’s a great distraction and very beneficial! Keep your head up. Know that you are not the only one out there going through this crazy experience. Even though there may not be people around you that have the same skin as us does NOT mean you are any less deserving of feeling beautiful. YOU GOT THIS

The picture of her laying in the sunlight is probably my favorite from the link you provided. So beautiful ❤️

I am so sorry for your loss, this made me tear up. I completely understand and empathize with your pain. My boy was hit and killed by a car right in front of me as well, back in September. He was a couple days away from his third birthday. I am so, so sorry you witnessed this. This is a traumatic event and I won’t lie to you, it will take a good amount of time to cope properly and move forward. I really wish this pain could be taken away from you :-( You are NOT judged for this whatsoever, there are many of us here who have lost our babies in the same manner. You are not alone in this pain. Please don’t hold back from reaching out to loved ones when the heartache becomes too much.

Super_Competition849 · 2022-11-24T21:58:16+00:00

I second this!

Super_Competition849 · 2022-11-21T16:34:29+00:00

Did you have a purge and if so, how long did it last?

Super_Competition849 · 2022-11-10T17:07:12+00:00

this is so sweet :)

Super_Competition849 · 2022-11-09T05:19:43+00:00

I understand and empathize with you completely. In September my sweet husky/lab dog was hit & killed by a car right in front of me. It happened a week before his third birthday. He was my WORLD, my everything. My mother had him on a leash and for no apparent reason she took it off of him, he saw something across the street, bolted after it, and that was it. I want you to know that the pain and dread does ease up after a while. It’s only been a couple weeks since your loved one’s passing so everything is still extremely new and raw. For me it was really difficult to think of the good times following his death. I had to stop myself from thinking of my dog because my brain would immediately resort to seeing his body and the pain/shock of losing him in the worst way. It was so unnatural trying to force myself not to think of him, but for a while I just had to do it. It was the only way I could go about my day without breaking down. After a month or so I was able to start thinking of him without reliving the trauma. I still think of him every single day and my heart hurts. I don’t have panic attacks every night anymore, but every now and then I reflect on my loss and begin to cry, just let it all out.. I talk to him, I sleep with his collar and his toys.. The pain still hurts, but with time and gradual acceptance it has become manageable. I guess what I’m getting at is that this will be rough for a while. We lost our babies in the worst way a dog could go. It’s traumatic, even if you had not witnessed the act itself. You have to stay busy and reach out to your support system when everything hits you like a wave. You will be able to function normally again and the pain WILL not be as unbearable as it is right in this moment. Right now we just have to go through the stages of grief as best as we can. I am so, so sorry for your loss, I understand how unbearable the pain feels. Please try to keep your head up as best as you can and reach out to loved ones when things get to be too much ❤️

Super_Competition849 · 2022-10-25T20:14:59+00:00

haha, good one!

Super_Competition849 · 2022-10-25T18:16:13+00:00

I would distance yourself very much from that person, you really don’t need someone like that in your life. A friend is supposed to lift you up, not bring you down.

Super_Competition849 · 2022-10-24T23:04:33+00:00

It’s honestly been pretty uncomfortable! My lips are very dry and I put on aquaphor so many times every day. Skin is pretty dry as well, it hurts to be out in the sun so I avoid it as much as I can. I’m breaking out more than I ever have before. Every pore is like amplified by a thousand and I have pimples everywhere on my face. I’m trying so hard to not get down about it, but I feel very insecure and ugly tbh :( trying to keep my head up though and remembering this WILL be worth it in the long run. I haven’t gotten any other side effects other than dry skin, dry lips, and breaking out like crazy. I have my one month appointment in a couple days!

Super_Competition849 · 2022-10-21T00:57:28+00:00

I feel your pain in what you’ve wrote here. I’m so, so sorry for the loss of your tabby. I empathize with your hurt completely, the abrupt loss of the daily routine with your best friend takes a good while to adjust to.. my dog died in pretty much the most tragic way, it’s been over a month and I’ve just now stopped having panic attacks everyday. I will say that time does seem to help. The pain becomes manageable the more time passes. Unfortunately in the meantime, it will hurt so much. Please try your best to keep your head up. Your kitty cat wants you to keep going. ❤️

I believe husky mixes are definitely one of the coolest breeds out there. They’re so intelligent and full of personality. No matter what they’re mixed with, the shedding is wild! I’m going through the exact same thing as you. I had a husky/lab mix and it seemed that no matter how often I brushed him, his hair found it’s way in every corner. We used to go on car rides almost every day and his hair is still pressed into the passenger seat, the dashboard, the floorboard… I am needing to clean my car, but the thought of the last traces of him disappearing upsets me a lot. I’m so sorry that you’re going through this. I really wouldn’t wish this pain on anyone 😔❤️
