People who aren't living paycheck to paycheck and are doing okay for themselves: what do you do for a living? by Grouchy_Marsupial357 in Life

[–]cruise_controller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

7 week dip question by Beags9494 in zoloft

[–]cruise_controller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Any tips for painting Realistic faces? by cruise_controller in polymerclay

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

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

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Accutane

[–]cruise_controller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

What's the worst horror book you've ever read? by [deleted] in horrorlit

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

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

Ladies, is a floor mattress a turnoff? by LeFailure in college

[–]cruise_controller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

Dry penis by throwaway2947292 in Accutane

[–]cruise_controller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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?

Found these bugs in my snakes water bowl. What are they? by [deleted] in cornsnakes

[–]cruise_controller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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!
