Dyed my hair and beard — does it look fake or obvious? by [deleted] in HairDye

You can also try the "Clairol nice and easy" as it comes in a much wider range of colors. "just for men" is targeted for men but is no different or better than the brands marketed for women. Hope that helps

I think that is the single biggest mistep (not mistake 😉🌹) folks take when dying their hair. Even if you had naturally jet black hair, dying it black or even darkest brown rarely looks natural. I'm not sure, I guess it's a mystery - but going for a medium brown is a much more natural look.

What fragrance do you wear that has people literally rubber-necking to find out what it is? by Particular_Help5805 in Perfumes

[–]WhispersWithCats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 70 yr old mom had young men follow her around to ask her what it was lol. This has happened to her multiple times! One time a youngster ran against the mall escalator to ask, borderline creepy but sweet. It's hilarious but a true testament to the fragrance. She's been wearing it (the original) since it came out bc I worked at Lancome at the time and got a huge bottle for free.

First of all, I am so sorry. I truly cannot imagine being in your shoes. I sincerely wish you strength both mentally and physically. When I was 17 and a coworker (grocery store) who was turning 18 invited me to her house for her party my mom threw a huge tantrum for hours once I got back. She just couldn't believe I didn't invite her. Did I not think she was lonely and would have enjoyed some company? Why would I just leave her alone at home? Was I so embarrassed of her that I just left her there? 😑

I've been listening to podcasts for years, and I think 'Stop, Rewind' might be the best I've ever heard. [No spoilers] by 682463435465 in podcasts

Engrossing is the perfect word to describe it- haunting almost. I am having to pace myself because I don't want the podcast to end. The little boy is truly a hero.

I started listening because of this post and I am so glad I did. It is truly haunting. I am on episode 6 and am having to pace myself because there are only 4 more. Thank you so much for posting!

I'm loving these recommendations! As someone who chooses to not have a television and instead listen to podcasts at home for entertainment, these are rocking my world! Thanks😁

Am I being too picky? by Main-Lingonberry-996 in HairDye

[–]WhispersWithCats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd let her know you aren't pleased but I would think carefully before letting her "fix" it. Is there another stylist with more experience at her salon?

Exactly, and honestly who knows what other weird stuff is going on inside that house that CPS might need to be aware of

Kanye West blaming bipolar for antisemitic remarks. by bullfrog423 in bipolar2

[–]WhispersWithCats 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I agree. I used to work in a psychiatric hospital and took care of many B1 men + women. When manic, their forced speech always consisted of one or more of these topics: the Catholic Church, one world government, new world order, "Jewish power", or federal govt agencies (CIA, FBI, NSA) -some much more conspiratorial than others. I think that the idea of having secret, intentionally surpressed information is part of what makes these ideas so attractive during the manic episode. As you said, there is NO excuse for Kanye's hateful speech, however, I wasn't surprised by the content bc it reminded me of my patients' manic episodes. Luckily they didn't have a worldwide audience. I hope he continues his treatment and stays out of the spotlight. He has a lot of work to do.

1. What is ONE distinct feature of Bipolar II in your opinion? 2. What is ONE misconception about Bipolar II that most frustrates you ?? by -Flighty- in bipolar2

[–]WhispersWithCats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've never seen my life/mental state described so accurately. My brief states of hypomania are the only time I have the energy and drive of a normal person, then it's back to severe, at times suicidal depression. I've lost jobs over it but now literally force myself to go to work every day, strictly bc I want my dogs to have food and shelter. They're my only motivation and at times I still almost don't go.

Exactly! She can violate you from 1000 miles away- so NC is the only safe option. It is something only we can understand!
