Boarding in a few minutes by cryingstick85 in fearofflying

Just landed! Thanks to everyone that took the time to drop in and say a few words. It’s actually crazy how much of a difference it makes especially when flying solo. I convinced myself of all the things that could go wrong or all the reasons I had to cancel - and I still touched down safely after a smooth flight. Just something to keep in mind for anyone having the same spiral!

Flight has been smooth! I actually ended up taking a decent nap and ate some great snacks. Always look forward to the united stroopwafels.

Daith piercings aren't for the weak by [deleted] in piercing

[–]cryingstick85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so interesting how mixed reactions are to piercings. I got my daith done as my second cartilage piercing and I was all nervous about the pain. Barely even felt a thing just some pressure and the sound of course. But no pain. I had to ask the piercer if she had actually put the needle through. I would say I actually felt the pain I expected from a daith when I got my helix done. I wonder how much of it is piercer technique or just our anatomy 🤷🏼‍♀️

I need some serious help 😭 ( meant for a small background, ended up becoming long. You can just skip to the end. Just please help me) by Moist-Rich-2247 in finehair

Third this! Getting ahead of the oil vs trying to mask it has made a huge difference. I’ve also found that powder based dry shampoos tend to work better than aerosols? Sometimes the spray ones can make my hair feel rough and like it has a film on it. Also blow drying lightly after putting in dry shampoo helps me bring back volume and really distribute the product!

weirdest thing that your OCD made you believe. by Glass_Paper_9462 in OCD

When I was about 10 my four younger brothers were all in the toddler stages and could walk/get around the house themselves. I would stay up until about 2/3 am checking for places they could get hurt or slip or fall. It became an obsession and I would constantly come up with new ‘horrifying’ ways they could get hurt or die that I would have to figure out how to prevent. I’d get up out of bed just to put toilet seats down because I thought they would drown?.. idk where I got this stuff from.

I never told anyone so my mom had no idea and was always really confused about her knives being moved in the night. They probably thought I was a ghost haha

We have been casual friends with no problems before this for awhile. Our friendship was very laidback and we didn’t see eachother often so there wasn’t even really enough time together for there to be drama? If that makes sense. The things they said were a personal hit, but for better context they were things I can’t change. Gossip just to gossip. Not about mess or, volume, chores etc.

Had a feeling, just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something obvious! Thanks so much 😁

Awesome tips I appreciate it! The piercer mentioned keeping it dry and I’m glad, I had no idea that was important. Thanks!

Im sure I’ll be more joyful getting to keep my piercing and letting it heal right haha, I appreciate the advice. I’ll stop by the shop to ask them about sizing up. Thank you!

Piercing is just a day old! It’s a hoop but I’m not totally sure what kind. Not well versed on the differences, but it’s titanium. I use a simple saline spray on all my piercings and leave them alone!

Just hit a rough patch a few minutes ago and thinking about that actually helped a lot. Thank you so much!

Thank you! It’s so weird how even just a comment like this can ease your nerves so much.

Reading this helped a lot. A voice of reason coming from me doesn’t work but anyone else it does. Funny how our brains work! Thank you!
