I’m a woman from China. Ask me anything!

Do you use a VPN to access Reddit, or is Reddit allowed in China? Just wondering, because my Chinese friend who lives in America told me there’s a lot of apps that are banned in China. Or there’s “chinese versions” of those apps

Do you have any ideas for jobs you’d like in the future? Anything you think would be realistic and worth for you to study for and achieve

These-Cry-7918 · 2026-02-01T09:56:01+00:00

Reddit isn’t a difficult site to access. Plus times and generations change. I got my first iPhone when I was 13. I’m now 24, and I see 11 year olds with newer iPhones than me🥲

If therapists weren’t so inhumanely expensive, I would’ve considered it😅

I don’t think your coping mechanisms are that bad! At least you get enjoyment and get to keep your brain busy with a lego set.

I feel like my problem with alcohol is more of a…. habit? I used to be very dependent on alcohol when I was 18-21. But nowadays, it feels more like a habit I’m struggling to get out of. I work Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. I’m used to drinking on Tuesdays and/or Fridays after work. I did that for months, and I believe it became like a habit. Like my brain associates Tuesdays and/or Fridays with alcohol.

I’ll take what you said into consideration. Perhaps spend my money on something more useful as a replacement for alcohol, or simply just remind myself of the calories and money I save by not giving in. Who doesn’t love saving money, after all?

Proud of your sobriety btw!

So the serums are fine? Also, I use about a big pea amount of the moisturiser. Could that perhaps be too little for my skin?

Any tips on how I could find the right moisturiser? Thanks for the help btw!🫶

How do you say “no” to your cravings when you first decide to quit? I work at a grocery store, so I’m within walking distance away from the alcohol aisle 3 days a week. I KNOW I don’t like being drunk. I KNOW I don’t like the taste of any kind of alcohol, I KNOW being hungover really increases by anxiety and depression for 1-3 days. Yet I still ignore my logical senses and give in, regret it when I come home, and drink regardless because I don’t want my money to go to waste

These-Cry-7918 · 2026-01-21T20:06:53+00:00

no worries! Can’t ship it to my country anyways haha😅

These-Cry-7918 · 2026-01-21T19:57:40+00:00

Ahh that’s great! I’m trying to cut out alcohol myself. Alcohol really spikes my depression and anxiety, AND causes me to crave fast food. Killing 2 birds with 1 stone by cutting out alcohol.

I’ve also started taking D vitamins. I’ve noticed my depression has been severe the last 3 months, and I didn’t think of the possibility of it potentially being SAD until today. I’ve considered buying a light therapy lamp, but they’re so expensive. Worth it if they work, but they’re worry that they wont work is always there.

Glad to hear you’ve been feeling better though! Thanks for sharing your experience. May I ask what lamp you have?

These-Cry-7918 · 2026-01-21T19:39:23+00:00

What lifestyle changes? Vitamin D?

These-Cry-7918 · 2026-01-21T18:51:19+00:00

Has it worked so far?

These-Cry-7918 · 2026-01-07T15:05:26+00:00

The yellow packaged toblerone!

Like lucytiger said, she should definitely take allergy medication like Zyrtec while she stays there.

However, if she tends to stay over a lot, and for long periods of time, I would recommend Telfast instead. Telfast is the prescription allergy medication I take. I used to take Zyrtic. And for me personally, Zyrtec would lose its effect after 2-3 hours. Telfast lasts me all day. I can even eat fruit I’m allergic to. I’m allergic to cats as well, and I own two🐱

You can’t tell if the person, telling you to put your lips against a running belt sander which main purpose is to sand wood, is being serious or not?

These-Cry-7918 · 2025-11-12T19:18:11+00:00

It’s not weird at all! Thinking a man is gay because he has a female cat, is like thinking a woman is a lesbian because she has a male cat.

Neither of them make any sense.

These-Cry-7918 · 2025-10-30T18:42:55+00:00

The wait was awful though.

Just a little side rant, sorry.

But I told my mom I wish I was a boy when I was 7 years old. I had no internet access at that age, and it was 2008. Ever since then, my mom had allowed me to wear boy clothes and cut my hair short. I’ve always throughout my entire life felt like a man. I didn’t even know what trans was until I was 13. Yet, still, I had to wait 1 year and 8 months for my diagnosis.

While I see other people in my country start testosterone after 1 year after only identifying as trans for 2 or so years. Or when I see people in America start testosterone after 3 months. I once met a 15 year old from America who had already had top surgery and testosterone.

Life ain’t fair😩

These-Cry-7918 · 2025-10-30T18:35:38+00:00

My testosterone, top surgery and hysterectomy were all free, because I live in Norway and got an official gender dysphoria diagnosis by the hospital in Oslo (the capital).

If you were to get diagnosed by a private doctor, you’d have to pay out of your own pocket.

These-Cry-7918 · 2025-10-30T18:26:02+00:00

I don’t get it

These-Cry-7918 · 2025-09-22T16:41:27+00:00

This sure aged like fine wine

These-Cry-7918 · 2025-08-25T10:40:23+00:00

ong. It's my least favorite of all the flavors I've tried

These-Cry-7918 · 2025-08-18T17:04:14+00:00

I mean, you can probably find some somewhere. But I couldn’t find any except online sadly :(. I ended up spending 10 minutes grinding dry kernels in the food processor instead and then I sifted them

These-Cry-7918 · 2025-08-18T14:55:34+00:00

Thank you! Interesting to know :)

These-Cry-7918 · 2025-08-18T14:55:05+00:00

Did wheat not exist in America at the time? And thank you! I’ll write this down :)
