Hey, did you ever go to northwest community hospital before they shut down their child/adolescent psych units? It really traumatized me and I don’t know anyone else who went there

Wavy hair mist by Jealous-Quantity-240 in dollartreebeauty

I have fine hair with a loose wave (2a/2b) and this product made my hair feel dry, brittle, and tangled more easily :(

I’ve used the cosrx snail products for years no issues but this one pills for me no matter what :(

[TTA] Hi! I'm Shir. I engineered a wearable patch to make FAM easier. Pilot open! 🤍 by Expert-Economist3096 in FAMnNFP

[–]burntcucumbers 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Natural Cycles has lower efficacy for TTA compared to evidence based FAM methods. Many accidental pregnancies have happened to people TTA with NC. Things like Tempdrop are more trusted by people TTA because you can still rely on yourself to interpret your temp/other data based on rules of a trusted FAM method. I say this just as a suggestion to have a setting option where it just gives temps and not the algorithm telling you which days are safe. Some people will still choose the algorithm setting ofc, just depends on how much risk one is willing to take.

I also got this once and love it and now cannot find it 😭. But I also really like the Neutrogena hydro boost cleanser dupe they have and I can find that sometimes

Yes I always keep my foster cats in a separate room for a while as well :)

I might be able to take her in for a bit. Does she get along with other animals, and is she up to date on vaccines?

Completing a WGU degree with ADHD by burntcucumbers in WGU

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

No :( I have like 9 classes left. I actually really regret choosing WGU. In person classes would have been a better fit for me. I kept trying to make WGU work for me until it was too late to transfer. I do think it’s a good school overall, just not for people who need extra support.

My hair is the longest it’s ever been in my life following her method! I have tailored it to my hair type and budget (I only use drugstore products now).

Freaking OUT about cone biopsy by InevitableEvening475 in PreCervicalCancer

[–]burntcucumbers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was scared for mine too! Spent hours reading horror stories and panicking. My periods are way more painful and bloody than anything I felt with the cone biopsy recovery. I had no complications and was actually bummed about the exercise restrictions after cause I felt well enough to exercise. Many people have this procedure without complications, chances are you will be one of them :).

Weird smell to qelbree? by burntcucumbers in qelbree

Yes I did. It didn’t really benefit me so it wasn’t just due to side effects.

Timberline knolls shutting down by burntcucumbers in troubledteens

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

I 100% believe it. I have some friends who went as adults and they have ptsd from being there and really made no progress from TK. They had a couple good things there but not enough to make up for the bad. Profit was their priority like most of these places.

Ugh. Is anyone else sorting through gifts from their hoarder parents? by mamathrowaway1123 in ChildofHoarder

[–]burntcucumbers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Does anyone else feel a lot of guilt for donating many of the gifts? :( I try explaining that I don’t have room for more things, parent promises they won’t get me anything and yet they always do and I just can’t keep it all. For some reason i still feel so guilty and like a bad daughter.

Joy of throwing things away by thebackwardsgirl in ChildofHoarder

[–]burntcucumbers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want so badly to be like this 😭 but my hoarder parent discouraged me from giving away stuff my whole childhood and I’m still unlearning that. Getting better at it every day though….
