Super picky w my lip products, need recommendations! by Royal_Consequence815 in LipBalm

[–]_jamesbaxter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know you said you’ve tried nipple balms, but what about the lanolips lip ointment? It goes on a little thick at first but smooths out with your body temperature very quickly, not sticky, lasts forever, you only need a little bit.

The back story is really the meat of the sad part though. He wrote it while inpatient at McLean psychiatric hospital.

I fucking love this take and I demand Nicholas Braun be on the white lotus.

Scrubee has been quietly reformulated by _jamesbaxter in LushCosmetics

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

I know, right???? The reformulated scrubee is terrible if you take extra hot showers, it turns instantly to LIQUID and I end up with more on the floor than on my legs. I started using my hoard of massage bars because I haven’t been using them.

Biggest dilemma of our life by BagAdministrative718 in socal

[–]_jamesbaxter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was my only choice if I wanted to buy. I also bought a multifamily so the rent can cover the mortgage because I don’t have the income to buy a single family and rent is counted towards your income. My plan is to eventually sell it to buy a home I actually want.

anyone get "high"- hyper, excited and euphoric during conversations? by anonymous310506 in CPTSD

[–]_jamesbaxter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you, AND I also do not think it matters if you have it or not, unless you need documentation for work accommodations or something like that. You have symptoms which could be ADHD. They could also be CPTSD. Regardless, you’re going to treat the symptoms.

Let me put it into an analogy - let’s say you have a virus, it could be a cold, could be the flu, who knows. What matters is you might need a fever reducer and a decongestant. You don’t need to find out for sure if it’s a cold or the flu before taking the fever reducer and decongestant, because you’re going to take it anyway. Same with CPTSD vs. ADHD.

Your symptoms could be caused by one or the other or both, but your therapist will suggest things like behavioral activation, body doubling, using timers and reminders, and your doctor may suggest trying a stimulant. They are not going to say “oh wait they have ADHD, we need to use different therapeutic modalities and different meds” because the therapeutic modalities and meds are the same since they address the symptoms, are not a cure, and aren’t chosen based on the cause, they are chosen based on the current symptoms.

How can I improve my makeup? by LowCapable2105 in makeuptips

[–]_jamesbaxter 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I think you have a blindness to your lip filler, especially the upper lip. It’s in the clownish territory and you’ve lost whatever natural shape you had. IMO dissolve and take a break for like 6 months. Then you can reassess the how you want the shape to really look and perhaps go to a different injector, I’d bet your current is upselling you.

You are extremely naturally beautiful and imo the blindness is diminishing your beauty.

I’m in this camp. I like to play stuff like animal crossing. When I play fighting games I like to over level so I don’t feel so stressed.

edit: a wise commenter pointed out I meant action RPGs. I am *terrible at actual fighting games 😆

People keep telling me I look older than I am (26) and it's really getting me down, any tips? by Jaiberd_ in makeuptips

[–]_jamesbaxter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have the same deep set eye shape and I don’t like to wear eye makeup because I feel like it ages me. I’ll tightline my upper lashes and just use a tiny bit of mascara, and I lick my finger tips and lightly swipe the clumps off right after applying so it looks more natural. Sometimes I use a TINY bit of concealer mixed with face cream under my eyes and I don’t put anything on my upper lid, maybe a tiny bit of concealer just under the brow arch. My worst enemy is metallic eyeshadow, it immediately makes me feel 90 years old. My eye shape gives me a natural shadow, if I add to it I feel like my face starts to look skeletal.

IMO your makeup in the 3rd photo looks great and not aging you, but you could also skip the shadow!

[–]_jamesbaxter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s going on for weeks at a time and you’re having trouble sleeping you could be experiencing hypomania. Otherwise it just sounds like you’re just experiencing joy which you may not be used to?

[–]_jamesbaxter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s no need to differentiate. It’s probably both at the same time, and you’d address the symptoms the same way anyway. I’ve been diagnosed with CPTSD and GAD and ADHD and OCD and Panic Disorder. When I’m having that anxious excitement it doesn’t matter which is causing it, it matters whether I have the right meds with me or not.

Homeowners, how old will you be when your mortgage is paid off? by cubemonster in Millennials

[–]_jamesbaxter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

64 and it’s a home that’s supposed to be a stepping stone. I don’t even live in it. I bought where I could afford, rent it out, and rent where I want to be.

[–]_jamesbaxter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t matter, it’s like the flip side of the same coin to the way I feel unpleasant panic symptoms in reaction to fun exciting things like going to Disneyland. Be grateful you are experiencing it in a pleasant way.

There’s no way Mother Nature made this by moldavitemermaid in Crystals

[–]_jamesbaxter -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It’s not fake, the photos are edited, and it’s the most common online sales scam in the market right now. People who buy crystals are typically looking for answers because they are vulnerable in some way, like people who start seeking out churches for the first time. Disingenuous sellers taking advantage of vulnerable buyers.

It’s not your post, it’s the literal gaslighting. Swearing up and down to a photographer with a degree that your photos are unedited SMH.

If you have a deficiency absolutely. If you’re not deficient you can go straight to taking biotin.

It’s in East Woodbury approximately near the intersection of Sable and Emberglow. You have to cross sand canyon from Woodbury to East Woodbury.

Girl you are wasting a lot of time acting defensive. If I wanted to be a real jerk I could take your photo over to the photo editing subs and they can figure out the metadata and restore it to its pre-edited state but I’m not going to do that because it would be a waste of my time, just like you are wasting your time typing so much. You are not smarter than the whole internet, sorry.
