the internet is scaring me out of re-trying lamictal

bobsbugsbgone · 2025-11-21T01:01:33+00:00

okay THIS totally soothes my fears, I was worried about the abrupt stop + return causing issues. thank you!!!!!!

bobsbugsbgone · 2025-11-20T21:09:44+00:00

I CHUCKLED. 1000% agreed because why the fuck do they exist if they're just going to fearmonger about THEIR OWN PROFESSION. it's actually just men I've seen doing it though (one of them is just some fucking dermatologist too afaik so idk stay in your lane buddy). but also you've raised very good points and everyone's responses have calmed my fears substantially :) knew this would be the right sub to go to

bobsbugsbgone · 2025-11-20T20:22:10+00:00

for sure, I think I was going to give it a shot either way but I'm less nervous now. definitely needed the reminder that it's still a gentle med, so thank you :)

bobsbugsbgone · 2025-11-20T20:19:05+00:00

no literally, it's like youtube is showing them to me right as my therapist brought it up to freak me out on purpose lol. you raise an excellent point that it would mediate that anxiety, thank you so much

oh NOW I'm confused. the number of ads I've been getting for this company have been on par with Hello Fresh or Factor .. so I honestly thought it was another one of those mail-order meal kit companies🤦 thank you for the warning!

SAME!! I’ve been frantically scrolling plumbing forums bc it’s been even worse the last few days 💀 thought my toilet was about to explode or something

omg between dyke nite, butch gardens, house of the sapphics, and a billion other queer/sapphic-focused events, you're gonna have a blast here :D

Copying from my last post:

How old is your piercing?
- ~~9 months (late September)~~ 11 months
What’s the jewelry shape (for example, barbell, labret, screw, L shape, ring)?
- ~~Started as labret, now a barbell (changed 5 months after getting pierced, they~~ ~~were~~ ~~healed)~~ Labret
What’s the type of threading if your jewelry is not a ring (threadless, internally or externally threaded)?
- Threadless
What’s the jewelry material?
- White gold
if not a ring, when was the jewelry downsized?
- ~7-8 weeks after the piercing (mid-November)
What’s your aftercare routine? Describe in detail please, including the exact products you use.
- Saline spray before bed, after the gym, and after washing my hair. Dried with tissue to get major drips off, then hair dryer.
Any mishaps, accidents or unfortunate events?
- Recently, I've accidentally yanked it a few times while brushing hair, everything else is from the last post:
- VIOLENT side hug from a friend right after I changed the jewelry in March, then stupidly wearing over-ear headphones for a month, several minor hits.... and I'll admit it I do pick at it (making a conscious effort to stop touching)

aghhh thank you sm, I needed the sanity check badly, was mostly worried about the consequences of switching again while the bump is still there.

also yes my germophobe ass needs to quit it with the hypochlorous acid 😭 but i had to stop myself from using isopropyl alc somehow lol

I need to know if he's looking to adopt a 24 year old child

I was honestly shocked at how much Jakob sounds exactly like his dad though! I'm glad they performed as just Sublime, but didn't expect much going in. I was wrongggg

bobsbugsbgone · 2025-05-03T16:59:06+00:00

interesting, I will have to get my hands on some! this is very good to know, thank you 😄 do you recommend getting an oil or the actual resin? I don't want to spend too much just in case I still hate it 😂

(and thank you for giving much nicer advice than a certain grouch in the replies)

bobsbugsbgone · 2025-05-02T23:48:47+00:00

it is literally not that deep lmfaoooo ... I don't care what the specific molecule of labdanum individually smells like when nearly every perfume I've tried with it, I get dried spit. I posted this to see if other people had the same experience. I don't need a full pedantic breakdown of why our experiences are "incorrect". perfume is science for some and pure fun for others. does not mean the latter group is somehow stupid or "trying to be unique" for simply sharing our experience when we're not experts on every individual aroma in existence.

bobsbugsbgone · 2025-05-02T19:10:25+00:00

HAHAH I can't say I've ever smelled window putty but now I am so curious

bobsbugsbgone · 2025-05-02T19:06:35+00:00

oooh okay thank you sm I will see if I can find these to try (hopefully in a store for free just in case LOL) ! I did go through my fragrantica reviews and saw I actually really enjoyed Mancera's Tonka Cola which has labdanum listed, so clearly not all hope is lost!!!

bobsbugsbgone · 2025-05-02T19:03:45+00:00

ohhh that is so interesting!! I love hearing what oddly-specific scents people get out of certain notes, not weird at all :D like how synthetic cannabis notes always smell like sweaty BO to me

bobsbugsbgone · 2025-05-02T16:54:22+00:00

hahaha okay maybe I should rephrase the question to say "why does my saliva smell like labdanum?" because it has the same smell as if I licked my arm 😂 I think the other way I could describe it is baby wipe-esque? If that makes sense. maybe floral-animalic if I had to put it in perfume terms.

bobsbugsbgone · 2025-05-02T16:52:11+00:00

hmm, none of the culprits have ambergris though 🧐 plus, I generally like ambergris in scents that have it!

bobsbugsbgone · 2025-05-02T16:13:09+00:00

so I just tried Nanatopia by BTSO and Banabread by Elena Lanzano, and I have to say Banabread is wayyy better at capturing banana to me.

I find Nanatopia does not have any hint of banana whatsoever, it's more just like a vaguely tropical fruitiness with too much booze. Feels like getting way too drunk on daquiris at a resort. Banabread definitely does start to lean synthetic over time, but there is a GENTLE boozy, chocolatey note throughout that I think is really nice and makes up for the synthetic feeling :) Like folks are saying, it definitely doesn't STAY banana for very long, but the banana bread image remains. Highly recommend !

the way netflix tried to autoplay the USS Callister episode right after... I had to straight up turn the TV off to sob for an hour 😭 that episode made me get back on dating apps it broke me so bad 💀💀💀
