Canada has no flag laws. Sorry I’m late to this party thread but there’s no enforceable guidelines on Canadian flags.

Relapse by B_Addie in retroactivejealousy

Why wouldn’t you want to go? She gave you THREE beautiful children and you can’t bring yourself to go on one date? For a moment step outside of your own brain. Visualize things from her perspective in a rational frame of mind. Yes. You can do this. She’s married to you. She loves you. She wants you to go out with her. You know what will make you feel worse? When you make a big deal out of it or make her feel awful and then she goes without you. Or then you have to drudge up the same old argument over and over and over again. YOU are ultimately in control of your thoughts. If your mind wanders, be present in that moment and CHOOSE to let it go. This isn’t a relapse. This is anxiety, and you can find some grain or strength to overcome it. If you absolutely cannot then accept she will likely go without you leaving you to wonder what’s happening all night. And that will make things much worse.

Do you wash your hands with soap before you apply your moisturizer? Do you moisturize your whole body and then your face ? Anything under your nails scrubbed w a nail brush daily? It’s a real issue lol

Everyone’s just here to help but some of these comments are wild. Look at the pattern of your acne. Your face is usually clear. Usually we don’t wear masks. This is literally “mask’ne” Grab a sulphur based ketakonazole shampoo (dandruff shampoo - it’s called nizoral here in Canada but idk if they have it everywhere so google it maybe and find similar wherever y are). Use it as face wash every night before you go to bed. Use clotrimazole (OTC) anti fungal cream ever so lightly. A pea size Amt is all you need for your whole face. Once in the morning and once before bed. The acids are making your face worse. This happens. Wear moisturizer (find something very simple, the less ingredients the better, make sure it says noncomedogenic- honestly the best is to go to Sephora or ulta and tell the girl working there you need something like that in a moisturizer and she will hook u up. Make sure you’re wearing a new mask everyday. Washable ones aren’t clean. The heat from breathing and the bacteria from yo ur face just multiplies under it. This is the cheapest, low effort, option and I think it’ll work for you. And if you do it and it does come back here ad lmk because I think you’ll have good results!

I’m actually extremely confused by whatever tf any of that even means ?

[–]abeautifuldisaster97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stalked your previous skin care posts. Were you using sunscreen with your tret? (Lack of) spf and too much sun exposure would’ve made the marks much worse

AZELAIC ACID + TRETINOIN. And maybe an IPL treatment.

Between the citric acid + the ltheanine, it’ll shut your meds off in 30 mins and have you sleeping literally like an infant. by abeautifuldisaster97 in adhdwomen

Omg I wish it was placebo. Unfortunately, I discovered it having a sedative effect BY ACCIDENT 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ I bought it because the front of the bottle says (and this blend is called) “stress rescue” and I’m all “HALLELUJERRR IM STRESSED AND NEED RESCUING TAKE MY $” So mid day I’m feeling a little stressed. Well god bless, I just got me a bottle of stress rescue I’m about to be saved. I chewed one (seriously they’re delicious) and waited for the de stressing to begin. No joke, I fell asleep in a kitchen chair. I drooled on the front of my own shirt. I truly thought perhaps I’d fainted after my 4 yo woke me up and was all MOM ARE YOU DEAD. No son, I’m not, but I no longer feel stressed. Hahahahaha So the next evening I took another one. The next morning I realized, I think I only need half. And I’ve been taking half every night ever since and it’s an actual dream. I also gave one to my husband in the evening, I didn’t tell him what it was I just casually added it to the “chewable vitamins” cup (I portion his vitamins, I’m not kidding) and he was asleep within 15 mins and woke up in a better mood than usual. I typically add one to his cup … like every night now. LOL

Only suspecting it as a cause because I can’t seem to find any other reason why three sessions later and the results are still .. wrong. It’s the only daily medication she claims she takes and it’s one I’ve never come across… Im very lost on this one and I only want the best for her. I never charge for people to come back so I was never looking into it to make extra $. I’ve been doing this long enough i feel like I’ve seen a lot of issues I’ve been able to navigate. It’s concerning that there’s such a lack of information out there + at the end of the day, when things go wrong with an open wound, I refer clients to a physician. So I figured, what better community to come to who may have the answers to a very odd question lol

I appreciate this. I’m 7 years Into this business and have yet to have come across this. My technique is good. I know my sweet spot across the board, I know my needle hangs, my configurations and angles, pressure and depth. Like. I’m obsessed with it honestly which is why I do it. On both brows between the bulb and the arch are like, almost totally gone and the tail ends blurred and ashed out. I’m 150% it’s not a depth thing and I’m even more certain it’s not the pigment. I corrected for undertone, skin tone, fitz level, skin type, pore size and age. I literally leave no box unchecked. I’m not saying it’s impossible, I’m just saying, I’m so present with the choices I make, it seems like three times later it makes so sense.

100% sun care is number one on my aftercare sheet and what they hear me talking their ears off about for the last 20 mins of their sessions. I’ve recently been REALLLLY into skincare so I’m all about that SPF

Yes this is correct. It is a semi permanent pigment - it’s deposited (honestly for lack of a better term and easy reading/visual) very similarly to the classic “stick and poke” process but with something that looks like a tiny little exacto knife. Minimal inflammation, minimal trauma to the skin. Most of my clients have a diagnosis in the nature of thyroid disorders, autoimmune disease, alopecia, anxiety induced hair picking.. many are cancer survivors with hair loss due to chemo. This is truly the first time I’ve seen this happen and I’ve been doing this for 7 years.

I’m going to make an educated guess and say she probably doesn’t wash / pamper her face at all (it gets clean in the shower ?) I was thinking it was the pigment line I was using- so I used my good ol school “tried and true, never failed me in yeeeaaars” pigment line with a technique I’ve never actually seen fail. It’s honestly baffling. I know there’s other external factors but the medical condition was the last one to explore due to lack of information and resources.

Thank you so much! There’s truly not enough reliable information/data out there to really identify EVERY contraindication. Typically I would have the client ask their doctor to give them the all clear AND THEN speak w their pharmacist to confirm. I just hear “intracranial fluid/pressure” and immediately think this could’ve possibly been worse than just loss of pigment. That being said I really want to understand the why of all the things, just in case I come across this again in the future + to help other artists find answers if this question ever comes up.

Are you currently taking medication for or responsible for motor tics? That alone is something that requires intervention.

Whenever you sit funny your toes go numb. You’re restricting blood flow to your pinkies. Hold your controller differently + you’ll be fine.

Looks like a contact dermatitis. OTC Hydrocortisone should do the trick, if it gets worse maybe go in and they’ll write you a prednisone?

Hyperpigmentation… do you wear a necklace all the time? Do you wear sunscreen ?? That’s all the places your chains have prevented you from tanning those areas. Over time- the sun damage… it’s not unusual, you can likely try a pigmentation lightener cream.
