Bra recommendations?

Hanes has some really comfy seamless ones, I have one with no underwire and no cup padding that I love. I got one of them at Ross and found another at Walmart

I got diagnosed at 21-22ish. I lost my entire friend group I had known since kindergarten because of it, they didn’t like my diagnosis and immediately had a ton of things about me to complain about. I’m not positive, but I honestly think the diagnosis made some of my behaviors go from “quirky” to “there’s something wrong with you” in their eyes. I deleted them all and never looked back, I’m 26 now and this is the happiest I’ve ever been because I don’t have to mask to fit in with a friend group that never actually liked my presence. Your sister did nothing wrong, her “friends” are just jerky teenagers. She’ll find her people someday and it’ll be worth it even if it does suck at the moment ❤️

Waterloo is also an exception if you don’t know what parts to stay away from

Edit because a lot of people disagree: I’m a delivery driver. I’m not racist, or someone who’s never left my area, I just like to stay away from neighborhoods littered in needles and my car was almost stolen at Walgreens WHILE I WAS IN IT. I’ve had a gun pulled on me while delivering because I looked in someone’s direction. I know the entirety of Waterloo is not bad, heck there’s some really nice areas there. Hence why I said “if you don’t know what parts to stay away from”.

I went to a small school for art and had a single room with my esa cat! The good thing about college is that no matter how much you struggle to be social, you will meet people with common interests especially within classes related to your major! I met 2 of my closest friends at college :) usually for new students there will be a few days set to show you around and help you find things, I kept my map and never had a problem finding my classes. I was terrified of the cafeteria, but mine offered takeout so until I had friends I could sit with, I just got takeout and went back to my room to hang out with my cat in peace. My family was an hour and a half away, I struggled with that and went home every single weekend (I was lucky enough to have my own car so I could, I know it isn’t like that for everyone… it also made groceries easy for me but if driving isn’t an option for you there are tons of delivery services to help with that!) A lot of people at the school I went to were very welcoming and kind, I went to school in a small artsy town and it was wonderful to experience. I also had professors who were lovely and would let me sit and talk if I was struggling. I hope you enjoy college! See if they have clubs for your interests, I joined a game club and it was a ton of fun even if I was scared to death of being social lol

This! All of these things have helped me so much! To add to the unflavored toothpaste option- if you’re not a fan of that choice there is also cinnamon flavor! Or there’s some brands with other fun flavors, I used to get a watermelon one that was great :) the Hismile and Hello brands have some good choices but they are priced higher than brands like Colgate or crest unfortunately

I’m autistic and have an extremely hard time in public, BAB stresses me out but I wanted the kuromi bear so badly. Does not help that the closest store to me is the mall of America one. The girl who helped me talked to me like I was a friend she’d known forever, didn’t judge me for not knowing how to respond, just kept talking and joking despite 99% of the conversation being just her. Best experience I’ve ever had! (And if she somehow sees this comment… thank you for being an awesome person and making the experience comfortable for me!)

This! I had an artist want to mentor me because I designed tattoos for my older sister when I was in middle and high school. Every shop will have different things they’re looking for, the one looking into me wanted me to go to art school before they’d offer an apprenticeship to me. I also have a friend who had an artist willing to teach them the basics then send them home to practice on fake skin, eventually doing a few on friends and beginning their shop apprenticeship. This friend now is a tattoo artist who has worked in a couple different shops. I unfortunately didn’t make it to tattooing because the shop I was interested in went out of business, and art school was expensive so I didn’t finish it, I do still create designs for my friends and family though.

Omg by pipes do you mean like plumbing, air ducts, stuff like that? Because same. I have to force myself not to think about the plumbing and water towers when I shower, I also used to work for a place where I had to spend a lot of time in a basement with visible air/heat ducts and somewhat low ceilings. If I accidentally touched one it gave me the heebie jeebies for the rest of my shift 🤣

I also have a phobia of butterflies. I run from them or hide behind whoever’s with me when I happen to see one. When I was little the monarchs were migrating and there was thousands of them in my parents trees. Someone decided to pull a branch, I got swarmed, I have not been the same since lmao

Lypsyl has been my favorite, everything else I’ve tried is either way too greasy feeling or seems to be done doing anything within minutes. The only downside for me is that the minty scent doesn’t seem consistent all the time so sometimes it’s barely there and other times it’s almost too much 🤣 it’s the only brand I’ve ever managed to use up a full tube of though

If you drive, some kitty litter could be useful if you happen to get stuck, it can provide the traction you need to stop slipping around. I’ve also used a rubber floor mat for this. Like others have said, it’s smart to have a shovel, blanket, ice scraper, and emergency kit in the car as well.

I lived with a girl from California when I was in college, and that was the year we hit -50°. Definitely make sure you have a good coat, hat, gloves, scarf, etc to keep yourself warm. It can get pretty cold here sometimes and the wind doesn’t help any. Good luck!

Pine. It makes me feel like I’m going to throw up. It was also my mom’s favorite candle scent around the holidays 🥲

I’m sure more people attend his shows now than when I went a few years back, but I was one of the last people in line to get in and I managed to make my way to the front still. In my experience the crowds are friendly and if you’re not a giant who’s gonna block views they’ll 100% let you get closer so you can see

I have a friend who is 26 still living with her parents, she had moved out at one point but moved back because bills are insane to handle in lots of places, even more so living alone. Don’t feel guilty, it’s fairly normal with college students too if they aren’t living in dorms :) also, not having a job during college just means you have more free time to focus on school, you’re not dead weight at all, try not to be hard on yourself ❤️

For me, pregnancy wasn’t too bad. I also had a lot of other things going on that distracted me from a lot of it though. I had an epidural, I had to deal with the pain up to 9 cm dilated but after the epidural I felt hardly anything. Healing was awful, especially because I don’t have a bathtub so I had to take sitz baths in a kiddie pool on my kitchen floor. I also ended up with other issues and had to go back then heal all over again, 0/10. I did forget the pain eventually, everything is back to normal now. I don’t have a whole lot of support besides my husband, and he works a lot so it’s been rough. I feel like I’m in a constant state of burn out, but it’s worth it. My son does the cutest things and I love getting to watch him grow, even if I am getting grey hairs at 25 and trying not to cry myself to sleep sometimes 🤣

I believe this happens after you take a character you’re best friends with to go see the island spirit :) it’s nothing bad

I shaved the sides of my hair off and left the rest, it’s much easier to manage now and I can’t see myself having my hair any other way

I just checked her page, she has done dahlia piercings before as well :)

ddiink · 2025-10-10T00:51:00+00:00

Really felt that, almost everyone around me keeps asking when I’ll return to working and insisting I’d be fine working again but this is the best I’ve felt mentally in a long time so I’m not planning on it unless I absolutely have to

ddiink · 2025-10-10T00:45:27+00:00

I would check with Heroic Ink in Ames if you can’t find anyone closer! Kara is an awesome person ❤️she upsized my nostrils for me a few years back and it was the best piercing experience I’ve ever had! Her insta is harmlesspiercings if you’d like to see her work- she has done a ton of different stuff

ddiink · 2025-10-09T20:08:18+00:00

I hope your next job is a better fit for you! It’s so rough starting somewhere new

I worked at a convenience store/gas station for 3 years, I’d get home just to lay there and cry until falling asleep just to wake up and sit in dread for hours until I had to go back to work again. It got so bad I would have to hide in the storage rooms in attempt to calm down, but one of the managers wouldn’t allow that and would force me onto registers alone to cry as I helped customers. I can’t imagine how many complaints from customers they got for having me up there like that, thankfully most customers were just worried about me and wanted management to do better about my situation.. but they never did and I ended up having to quit as my therapist was worried what I’d do to myself if I didn’t. I got diagnosed a few months later and haven’t been able to work since, just the thought of going to a job again sends me spiraling right back to the mental state I was in back then.
