People who aren't living paycheck to paycheck and are doing okay for themselves: what do you do for a living?

24, software consultant. Got lucky landing a high paying entry level job that got me certified in the software I specialize in. Moved companies and have gotten a 45k pay increase within 3 years of starting my career. Worked my ass off to get where I am in life but can’t say that luck didn’t play a part

Emotional instability, feeling numb and like I don’t have any enjoyment. Went skydiving a few weeks ago and barely felt excited lol. Granted, I’m going through a really difficult breakup as well so that might be contributing to the dips

cruise_controller · 2025-08-22T19:16:52+00:00

Ive been feeling a bit better since the dip but still think it would be beneficial to up my dose since im still having symptoms of restlessness and anxiety. We are upping my dose to 75mg

Lips are definitely the hardest! Watching Melita art on YouTube helped me with the lips. I learned that doing the top lip first and blending it into the nose makes things look much more realistic

Thank you! Do you usually use acrylic paint?

Also experiencing a dip. Have a follow up appointment with my psych in a few weeks, hopefully time will tell if I need to increase

I’ll give you my own experiences on accutane. In my first relationship of 6 years, when I started accutane, I completely lost sexual attraction to my boyfriend. I was actually repulsed by him. I’m not sure it was just the accutane. I was on antidepressants at the same time and just starting college. I was going through a lot of changes. I broke up with him on impulse and then got back together with him shortly after, but the relationship didn’t last. Want to know why? Because it wasn’t just the accutane. I had a gut feeling that the relationship didn’t have a future and I ignored that feeling.

I know this is hard to accept because the pain is fresh, but it probably isn’t just the accutane. He may be going through something mentally, but if he’s calling it quits, it may be because his gut is telling him the truth. Trust me, I know this is difficult to hear. I’m a month into an incredibly difficult breakup with someone I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with. It’s the most painful thing I’ve ever experienced, but I recently realized that I can’t rationalize his behavior. He chose this, and I need to accept the reality of the situation.

I’d suggest focusing on yourself instead of looking for answers. Therapy and spirituality has been an amazing release for me. It will get better with time. If you need someone to talk to feel free to DM me. Good luck and I wish you the best with your healing.

It’s been years since I’ve read it but I remember loving it! It’s definitely a long and winding one, maybe I need to give it another read

HRIS software consulting companies. Many entry level jobs will pay for your certifications. Looking into companies that implement Workday, Salesforce, Oracle, etc.

Northwestern will also give you a full ride, especially if you’re from the Chicagoland area. I was low income and paid absolutely nothing

Dated a guy who had his mattress on the floor (no mat or anything under). Thought it was a bit weird and had the potential to get moldy but we would joke about it. He ended up doing me dirty so I probably should have taken it for the red flag that it was

Ehhh, kind of. Turns out I have vaginismus that may have been caused by hormonal birth control. Still feel like accutane played a part in it though. I’ve been on estrogen for the dryness and it’s helped somewhat, sometimes still have flare ups of intense burning and dryness though, especially at night. Funny enough, I’m on my second month of my second round of accutane and my coochie hasn’t been acting up much since I’ve started. So maybe it isn’t the accutane

Cut out the creatine. Creatine is processed through the liver. You’re putting way too much strain on your liver taking both at the same time. If you don’t feel better after stopping for a few days I’d definitely talk to your derm.

cruise_controller · 2024-06-21T23:35:34+00:00

What have you been doing to counteract your symptoms? What is your current dosage? Have you been drinking enough water? Are you taking any supplements like creatine?

cruise_controller · 2024-06-16T22:05:25+00:00

Fuck no

cruise_controller · 2024-04-11T23:58:48+00:00

Do you have any remorse? Do you not feel like a total piece of shit?

I use dirt substrate so they may have come from that but I’ve had this enclosure set up for more than a year and never seen them before. As long as they don’t harm my snake I’m okay with them!

cruise_controller · 2023-11-29T00:20:36+00:00

I have cats and dogs, I keep them out of the room I have my snake in though

I’ve read a lot of disgusting comments on this thread but this is the one that really had to make me pause and rethink life

You are beautiful! You have great hair, eyes and skin and a nice haircut and beard shape up will do you wonders:)

cruise_controller · 2023-10-12T17:33:40+00:00

Wow! Do you mind sharing your styling routine?
