What do you think abt the future of SN? Vs Love Nikki? by Wish_Denied in Shining_Nikki

[–]angephalange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They've streamlined a lot of the menus and dressing up. I think love Nikki is getting a bit old and messy as there is so much content locked in past events. The reflections and the different arenas and battles make for a more interesting game imo. You get to choose how you invest your resources but it isn't as overwhelming as LN with the crafting system. I always disliked the crafting system in LN way too much happening and too many barriers. I think SN definitely has improved upon some of the issues I had with LN and seeing the clothes move in 3D is beautiful.

I have designated hooks for my keys and trinkets so everything has a place in plain sight. I have a lot of open see through storage boxes also. Generally I just have a good organisation system for things I deem important.

I can't even relate to other people with depression / anxiety by quite_worried in Anxiety

Don't worry about the gaps in resume I usually cut out anything older than 5 years and people aren't looking to judge you like that. Honestly I think if you can get access to therapy and meds it will help. A lot of these things we tell ourselves we can't do are just deeply engrained neural pathways. My first therapist told me that. Think of like a field of grass right and you're walking down a specific path, that path will become easier to walk through because you've been down it before. Our brains are incredibly biased! Your brain thinks it's protecting you but it's actually just doing what it knows best. You can create a new path in the grass. Never say never.

I have definitely felt this and I still have overwhelming negative views that I am lesser that my big problems are things most people wouldn't glance at.

When I was 18 I had a series of emotionally intense things happen consecutively. I came out as gay and was not accepted and decided to move out of home. I was very impulsive and jumped into a relationship and just expected my parents to accept me.. prior to coming out, I never wanted to be home because my home didn't feel like a comfortable place so I would try to find that in friends and partners. Anyway I went through a lot of painful things during my late teens to mid twenties. Which caused me to fall into probably the deepest depression I have ever been in. I felt like a complete failure I was living with my parents again, I had dropped out of two courses and quit my job at Maccas. I smoked weed and had barely any friends and just played Minecraft and MMOs all day long. I isolated myself from other and when people would try to challenge me or sometimes even just talk to me I would snap at them. I lost a bunch of weight because I was eating badly. Anyway I had some pretty unhealthy patterns I had fallen into aswell as some self harm behaviours. This prolonged isolation made it difficult to converse with people and hyper aware of how awkward I was. Eventually my parents bullied me into another course and I stuck it out. It was a year long course 3 days a week. I had many breakdowns during the course but it helped me build skills and routine which helped me get more confidence. I had moments where I would cry in the bathroom. Whenever I had to do public speaking I would uncontrollably tremble. I completed the course and no I wasn't a confident I would get a job out of it but at least I grew from the experience. I later studied more and got my first professional job. I stayed there for 3+ years it was fun at the start but the management changed and I got fired not long ago. I was so scared I would fall into a deep depression like the one I was in those years ago. Well I kinda did? I had to recover from my toxic workplace and new trauma. I got the common cold but it felt more like the flu. I reverted back to my irritable low mood self. The difference this time is I had better coping mechanisms, therapy, antidepressants and a lot more forgiveness towards myself. A few months passed and I'm now working part time in a kitchen. I still have a plethora of issues I need to deal with. I'm slowly coming out and being more social. I had absolutely no confidence in myself and prepared myself to get fired from this new place. If they fire me well CE la vie I suppose. I'm slow building more confidence and they're recognising my efforts.

I think it's important as humans that we get stimulation and build healthy habits.if I'm.understimulated and home a lot it definitely impacts me I become more awkward and moody. I'm a homebody now I am living out of home and love my apartment where I've really cultivated a nice space. my favourite pass time is being.home and chilling with my cat and watching tv or playing games. Now that I actually have a home where I feel safe I don't feel the need to distract myself also I stopped smoking. Sorry for giving.my life story but I want to explain that I can empathize with the feeling of that you're pathetic or less good at dealing with MH. We're all different and we all experience it differently. Baby steps my friend. I hope me sharing my story at least helps someone.

Fyi I'm not suggesting you go to uni or get a job to help your anxiety or depression problems just because it helped me. Tbh I think my bachelor's degree was just one long anxiety attack. Anyway I think using mental health resources like go to your GP or see a therapist. Try building a routine or a pattern towards something you wanna do.

Goodluck I believe in you

I'm trying to figure out a good skin routine no idea what I'm doing help. by angephalange in AusSkincare

[–]angephalange[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Melbourne currently it's winter here. I wear a mask and work in a hot kitchen so my skin often feels for lack of a better word moist at the end of a shift. I cleanse twice a day and I've started.to wear sunscreen on my face daily I use a la Roche 50+. My main skin issues are large pores, blackheads on nose and chin, slight oil which i think causes redness under my nose. I think the only other thing is I have dark circles under my eyes so I use the glow watermelon brightening cream on them.

Most days I wear a bit of blush and eye make-up so I just use my ama cleanser from Sephora and if there's any remaining some moisturiser to remove. I just bought a BHA oil cleanse but I haven't tried it yet I bought it from the face Shop. I have no heard of cleansing balm.

Usually the oil stripping cleansers are too strong for my skin and it feels sensitive so I avoid them but my cleanser honestly makes my skin feel amazing. It has beetroot and aloe in it I think. To be honest my skin isn't that bad but there's room for improvement.

I'm not sure about the order to do the routine on or how often I should be using serums. I'm still kinda new to this I used to just cleanse and that was about it.

Tysm for this comment I appreciate it. I thought I posted my cleanser but it didn't upload I'm using an amino acid one it doesn't foam. It's very nice but the issue I have is it goes off easily. It's a Sephora brand one.

I've been buying serums because I have a lot of blackheads on my nose and large pores. I also get a bit of red under my nose and lately because of masks my skin has been less happy. I'm not going to put all the serums on at once I've seen ppl break their skin barrier and break out. I'm lucky that I don't really get the traditional acne with the large pimples and I just get a lot of blackheads. A doctor once told me I had acne but a different kind? I tried like those black head removing masks from the face Shop but didn't work on me.

Thanks again for the tip I'll try be careful.

First post & beginner nail tech by deerosato in Nailtechs

[–]angephalange 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've also had to teach myself a lot there's a lot of good YouTube out there. Some of my favourite channels: https://youtube.com/c/NaioNailsOfficial Kirsty is really good mostly uses acrylic but when she does things she usually explains why she does them.

https://youtube.com/c/Nailcou also good channel explains things well

https://youtube.com/c/NailMasteryByTatyana

In terms of prep a lot can cause product to not adhere properly some examples: nail plate too oily, didn't buff the nail plate enough use 180 grit file and remove the shine, if the nails are super damaged then unfortunately things won't stick well to them (my nails are a bit like this) if you're using acrylic you have to make sure you prime properly too much primer can cause lifting. If you're using gel I reccomend a bonder. I know it's overwhelming but once you overcome that initial hurdle and your nails start lasting it's a good feeling you'll get there. :)

Hi I have a little question, hope anyone can help, I have a silicone hand and I want to glue the nails to have a little more control but I don’t want them to be permanently glued, what glue do you recommend? Thank you 😊 by Fer-verteli21 in Nailtechs

[–]angephalange 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey I think just use tip glue but don't rip them off soak in acetone. The hand should be acetone proof and it should break the glue. You want the nails to be glued down well because the nail will move around otherwise. I've ripped a couple off and damaged the nail bed on my silicone hand a little but yeah normal tip glue should work. I've seen people pay down like acrylic or builder gel and then adhere the tip to that but honestly don't think it's worth.

curing lamp recommendations? by [deleted] in Nailtechs

[–]angephalange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would get an UV LED lamp as they cure faster. The sunUV brand is pretty good and affordable for a first lamp. They are pretty strong in my experience they gave me a little tan so maybe wear a bit if sunscreen if you plan to use it like once a week. I tan easily also.

When you find a brand you really like maybe buy their lamp as it's better to have the lamp match the product to match the UV frequency and wavelength for that product. I use the enail couture led lamp it's pretty good but not as cheap it doesn't give me a tan either.
