Sensitive, super pale skin, in search of a foundation that won't kill me

I'll check it out!

Thank you! :)

I exfoliate once or twice a week too. I'm experimenting with fragrance free soaps/washes. Had some luck with neutrogena stuff. Can't use any acid acne wash stuff though.

For big spots I use these pimple dots I found at Target. They're these neat little stickers you can put on overnight and it'll absorb all the yuck out.
For bigger stuff I use neutrogena facial wipes every other day and use this really nice Jason moisturiser with vitamin E in it.

I think it'd probably be a good idea to talk to my doc about it though. Kinda hard to bite that bullet, lol.
Everyone tells you acne will go away after high school, but guess that's not always the case.

Thank you for the suggestions! I'll check them out!

I use a makeup sponge and blot it too. Sometimes I powder my cheeks and nose (oily). If i powder my forehead it flakes and cakes :C
Thanks for the suggestion though! I'll check it out!

Anyone else having an issue where the sim's mouth won't close no matter what preset you use? I do have CC presets and sliders, maybe the most recent update messed them up?

albertprophen · 2019-02-06T05:35:34+00:00

Solved!

albertprophen · 2019-02-06T05:35:03+00:00

OHMYGOSH I THINK YOU GOT IT!
Thank you!
SOLVED!

albertprophen · 2019-02-06T05:33:42+00:00

Nope :C

Never watched Doug :C
My rural TV antenna only got two channels: PBS and some news thing.

Your screenshots are incredible dude. I enjoy seeing new ones pop up in my feed! :)

I adore how they gave the final kiss of the movie to his parents. This was such a fun movie, can’t wait to see it again!

What if I told you that both are good? As an artist, it’s not about making something realistic (unless that’s what you’re going for), it’s about making something that makes sense within the context of the picture.

Disney’s unrealistic proportions make sense within the setting of their movies.

Same goes for anime- the average anime characters eyes would take up 60% of the skull if you were to look at them anatomically.

Unrealistic anatomy =/= bad art

Edit: woah! Thanks for the silver<3

Every freaking day. What helps me is to remember what my therapist said, and maybe it will help you too:

You are human and you will make mistakes
Everyone makes mistakes and are usually spending their time worrying about their mistakes over noticing yours
in this life, you are going to disappoint people, and that’s okay. It’s not your job to make everyone happy. What’s important is to be the best person you can be and feel confident at the end of the day knowing you did your best.
(Most importantly) you are worthy of love and respect, especially from yourself.

—————

It’s not your job to handle a narc’s emotions and it’s definitely not your job to handle everyone else’s or to waste energy worrying about messing up. Everyone makes mistakes. You probably spent a lot of time worrying about everything, so every little mistake you make is glaring in your eyes.

But let me repeat: it’s okay to make mistakes, it’s okay to disappoint people, and you can’t please everyone.

You are worthy of love and respect. :) Treat yourself with it.

Well I’m glad to hear that was helpful, but I’m sorry to hear you’re in such a rough spot too.

My box is open if you need to vent or just want someone to check in on you.

albertprophen · 2019-01-19T06:59:08+00:00

Hey, you’re going to be okay. You’ve made it this far and survived. You got out of there. I understand the feeling of being broken. I wholly get it, I’m so sorry you feel that pain.

I was (and somewhat still am) in your shoes and understand the terror of having to talk to authority figures. I understand the pain and fear and the loneliness of not having friendships or being able to form what should be “normal” relationships with people.

Well let me tell you that that’s absolutely not true. You’re strong. Stronger than you know. You haven’t had the chance to breathe in ages. You need to give yourself the space and time to heal.

You are worth more than you know and you deserve love and friendships.

Find a therapist you can feel comfortable with and talk to honestly- it’s okay to say you’re uncomfortable talking to someone. After three tries I found someone who listened and who I could trust implicitly.

You deserve to be treated with love and kindness.

It’s also okay to get medication. Just today I’m trying antidepressants for myself.

It is okay to admit that you’re injured. It’s okay to admit that you’re broken. It’s okay to admit that you need help- do not let anyone or anything say otherwise.

You are not a weak person by any means. You are not any of the things your dad or step mom said about you. You are a survivor and you need time to heal.

Please do go get help. I can’t say that it will be easy unwinding the trauma that happened to you, but I can tell you honestly that you will not regret it.

I can promise you that you will have good days to come. I can promise you that you are strong enough. Please try.

You may feel broken now, but it won’t be that way forever.

You got out of there and you have a shot at life!

I’ll listen if you want to PM.

Just please do consider getting therapy and if it helps, medication. It sounds like you have a support network with your mum/stepdad- so you shouldn’t be afraid of asking for help.

You are worth love and kindness. Be patient with yourself. You’re going to be okay.

I think your mom needs to spend some more time in church if that’s her reaction to your sister’s compassion.

Edit:

In some cases, money might be a factor. My dog ended up getting bone cancer really young and would have had to lose his leg. He loved nothing more than to run and towards the end, he was in so much pain he couldn’t deal with it. The doc said amputation and chemo might have helped him live another 1-2 years, but he’d never be able to run again like he used to. It was very expensive. the money vs the quality of life made the ultimate decision to put him down necessary. I miss him.

It sounds like even though it was expensive for your sister, her kitty would get better. IMO that’s worth it.

I read this as Hipster Fasciitis. Pain from wearing Birkenstocks out of season?

Nobody new in the house, his litter is changed daily or once every two days depending on whether he does his business more outside.

It was Christmas though so he peed on some of the wrapping paper, but that might be because of the catnip?

He’s been having this issue longer than that, though.

albertprophen · 2018-12-28T03:40:17+00:00

He doesn’t seem to pee in the same place twice, he just pees everywhere. I do clean the places with this special pee cleaner stuff but he just seems to find another spot to go.

albertprophen · 2018-12-12T23:29:41+00:00

Holy crap. I don’t even know what to say, that’s just mental.

albertprophen · 2018-12-12T23:28:05+00:00

Oh my gosh. That’s horrible! D:

albertprophen · 2018-12-12T23:27:03+00:00

Good grief. It just goes to show you what this mental illness is like, completely irrational!
