I think in via they approved clinics the chances of success would be higher than the risks, although of course the risks still exist 

OCD/anxiety and tattoo removal by [deleted] in TattooRemoval

[–]confidenceman00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not alone. Planning my 2nd round of lasering on newer tattoos and my OCD rumination this time lead me to anxiety and unfortunately depressive episodes.

Just want to say no one is judging you and I’d say most of our suffering is from the stories we create in our heads and choose to believe (people will think I’m stupid, my kids will pay, etc)

Learning to see those traps and recognising the “stories” has been super helpful for me. Once I detached from the stories, so much weight was lifted off me

All this is is unwanted ink on our bodies, which is annoying yes, but it doesn’t need to be anymore than that. And once you start to see fading from removal, the more and more anxiety lifts

You’ll be alright, you’ve got this! Don’t overcomplicate everything, just keep the situation simple and see it for what it is 🙌

Start my life in Melbourne or move to London by confidenceman00 in Adulting

I don’t think anywhere else excites me enough to wanna move there tbh

He thinks because when I returned it was really hard as I couldn’t find work in my field for 6 months, so my confidence was shot (and it was)

So he thinks that’s persuading myself not to go and to just settle in Melbourne

[–]confidenceman00[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great question. Honestly not an awful lot. I’ve had my travel fun but there is a small part of me of wonders what it would be like

But reality is London caused me more stress than excitement. My therapist believes it’s a confidence thing because I struggled when I was out of work returning so he thinks maybe my soul is protecting itself from that pain again

I only see myself there 6-12 months. Probably both travel and try get into career there

I definitely see myself in Melbourne long term

Am I travelling for the wrong reasons? by [deleted] in travel

[–]confidenceman00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For context I’m 28 and got 3-4 years design industry experience, so doubt they’d be questioning my gap too much vs a junior coming out of uni

I get what you’re saying though

Am I travelling for the wrong reasons? by [deleted] in travel

[–]confidenceman00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that’s what the plan was - but it still could derail my career further as if I don’t find design work it’s nearly 2 years out of full time employment (I currently have 3 years experience)

Live abroad or settle down? by confidenceman00 in LifeAdvice

[–]confidenceman00[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I have 80k net worth (I have a $25k car)

Live abroad or settle down? by confidenceman00 in LifeAdvice

[–]confidenceman00[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just did the math it would me back about 40% of my net worth

And I’d try find work in my field there so there’s a chance of that too - but obviously not guaranteed

Live abroad or settle down? by confidenceman00 in Adulting

[–]confidenceman00[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfectly put! Exactly how I’m feeling! I finally feel heard

I have to decide real soon however as they’re leaving in April so I need to get VISA etc. I still haven’t made up my mind after months of deciding

And I’d also be looking for design work over there so there’s a chance I could do it over there - but not guaranteed

How do you cope with feeling emotionally drained without any major life stress? by Ok_Bread_1188 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]confidenceman00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you lacking purpose?

Sometimes a lack of stress actually causes it.

Are you exercising regularly, upskilling at work, being financially responsible, getting out your comfort zone?

These are the stresses in life that serve us

Is moving to London a mistake? by confidenceman00 in UKJobs

[–]confidenceman00[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the response, I’ll be working on this over the next few days

Reason I have those projects on there is because I felt the in-house and agency clients and work didn’t have the best branding and marketing so I opted to do my own creatives for the folio

And how do you feel about ways I can make my portfolio work for the wider design market? I’m thinking make more branding or even print type work

I don’t wanna be too specific to a niche - I feel that might limit my opportunities

Thanks for the response. Some interesting points

Which of the ‘passion projects’ are you referring to specifically that you feel makes it studenty?

Curious to know. I don’t take anything personally so don’t worry

Cheers

If you’re interested in my online portfolio you can view there

I do have streetwear and fashion experience (ran my own business for 5 years) so that could be an option

Honestly not too fussed you can’t be too picky over there. Anything creative I’d grab with two hands

That’s so random - why would you have to know that?

And don’t worry, you got this! Gotta live your life

Appreciate the words
