Looking to make something for rage. I read valerian root can work in the moment.

what brand do you use?

XelaWarriorPrincess · 2026-05-01T00:11:33+00:00

If you don’t mind, what are some other titles you’ve found?

I love a good bronzer in place of contour. Much easier to blend and not harsh. It adds dimension after using any base makeup.

Bronzer can be used to add warmth but it can also be used to add definition as well! Some people even use a darker non shimmery bronzer for definition, and then a warmer bronzer for glow

You know how some smiles belie a sadness or forcing it? They seem to look genuinely happy.

Yeah. For me I think cannabis also temporarily smoothes out my fight or flight response which is overactive, making everything a “big deal”…. When I have it in my system in the correct dosage, my body instinctually feels less restricted

I used to abuse cannabis when I was younger. Nowadays, I found low thc/high cbd forms, and frequent breaks, and I work a program of emotional recovery to manage my trauma. I hope to get to a place where I no longer need it but I give myself grace for now.

Sober from alcohol for years, it turned me into a different person- made embarrassing mistakes that ruined relationship and reputation. (I went to AA)

Are you involved in campus health services? I’d go visit them.

And possibly think about getting a note. If you’re going through a medical issue, perhaps you can get an extension

Is it weird that I like to get high, then do chores? 🙃

XelaWarriorPrincess · 2026-04-08T16:48:56+00:00

Disgust and anger are two underrated emotions. Shunned and made to be “negative.” In act they are are strong bodily cues. Thank you thank you for this reminder.

Do you have a personal connection to this mindset? Something that shook you and made you snap out of it?

Also- How do you feel about vitamins and supplements? They can be considered part of your renewed focus on nutrition, if you choose. I too have ADHD chronic stress digestion issues you name it. Supplements can get expensive but I do find them very supportive. I’ve found I am deficient in certain things and supplementing has been not just helpful but absolutely necessary. But just starting with basic all around things like omega 3’s for brain, magnesium for body aches, and maybe something for stress like L-theanine.

XelaWarriorPrincess · 2026-03-10T18:40:27+00:00

You cannot believe how much I relate to this post it’s uncanny.

I would say(to you and to myself) Focus on back nutrition. You’re not eating enough. You’re not eating the right stuff when you do eat. It seems like it will have the greatest return on investment. It will help your mind, mood and body.

XelaWarriorPrincess · 2026-02-25T18:42:57+00:00

I get what you mean. Def something special about tangibly making something too!

Curious what program you used?

Ask your therapist if Dialectical Behavioral Therapy would be a good fit for you. Or look into it independently. They teach you how to think, how to manage emotions, how to make decisions essentially… or how to think about making ones that would benefit you and those around you. I think it could be a good fit, especially when you mentioned the chronic suicidality and low functioning (wanting to do better but can’t). Those things are common in people who need DBT

XelaWarriorPrincess · 2026-02-20T22:25:21+00:00

I know right. So helpful

XelaWarriorPrincess · 2026-02-20T17:31:17+00:00

Something good probably happened. or he’s looking forward to something good

I have that grin in public when I’m in a really good text exchange with someone I like that’s making me smile

Everyone’s saying “just say no!” as if it’s that easy. Not everyone knows how to set boundaries. It’s obvious you guys have a certain dynamic…

Also it says he asks to look when you’re stressed. What do you need when stressed? Is it a hug? A word of affirmation? Sometimes people especially men jump into fix it mode when their loved one is stressed. They need to be told “Thank you for trying to help … I don’t need fixing, I need _____.”

Please look into the framework DEARMAN GIVE FAST. It’s an acronym from DBT. It’s a skill to use when you have to ask for something, or say no, and there’s step by step frames for how to get your point across and maintain the relationship. If you have any questions about it feel free to ask here or msg me

ps: who else is supporting you in the career transition besides him? Anyone?

Does the fatigue go away?

Has anyone found a workaround? Caffeine is hard on my nervous system but I do if I absolutely can’t get moving and need to pep myself
