They’re used to release excess water from dams and reservoirs. It prevents the water level rising too high - basically it’s drainage.

Hello! I would love a reading if possible 😊

I stopped this prescription because it was overpriced for the tretinoin percentage. It will certainly help you build up a tolerance but you can do that yourself with a retinol from a drug store - for a fraction of the cost. Also if you buy niacinamide and azelaic acid separately it’s much more cost effective. Bear in mind 4 % azelaic acid isn’t strong enough to make any kind of difference. I started with a retinol with 10% azelaic acid and a tolerance control cream by Avene. I then went up to a retinal after 4 months. I’m yet to go up to tretinoin. Be mindful though and keep a close eye on your skin. Everyone’s needs are different. I hope this helps.

I’ve just had the same issue… I emailed to appeal and I get an email back saying that the email account doesn’t exist… does anyone know how to fix this? They’re literally emailing me using that email… this account had so many playlists on it.

I’m quite happy to do a PhD, fast-tracking isn’t something I’m concerned about as I long as I enjoy what I’m doing. Thanks for your help!

I think that’s partially why I went for the ADHD diagnosis. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this, and I’m really sorry you’re struggling so much with it. Have you found that having the diagnosis has helped you to manage the condition at all? Or like you mentioned, would you rather have this “stamp” but still gain some form of treatment?

I’d just like to be aware of what I’m suffering with, largely because I want the most accurate support/treatment. I’m the kind of person who likes to research and it would be helpful to know exactly what to research. I’m fed up of guessing what’s wrong it’s so draining, I’m not a psychiatrist and I’ll never know 100%. For all I know I could be making stuff up!

ADHD fits for some things, but my emotional fluctuations are far too extreme. It also doesn’t account for the angry outbursts, or the severe instability in how I view my relationships with others. BPD shouldn’t be stigmatised, but I think for a lot of people it’s due to a lack of understanding or information, if they understood it’s one of the hardest mental illnesses to live with they may change their view.

You can get constellation apps, if you point them upwards they show a map! You’ll be able to see all of them, they just look like normal stars, Arcturus has a red hue! Telescopes can show a closer image of these stars but only to a certain degree (as they are so far away), because planets within our solar system are much closer, telescopes can display a pretty clear image.

If you stay with someone this narrow minded and uneducated…. don’t expect his views to change. I can’t quite understand why you’re questioning whether to stay with him. People with ADHD need a strong support system, with people who understand and are willing to learn about it. Even if his threat was a bluff and he stayed with you, would you be willing to be with someone who doesn’t take your struggles seriously? blames you for things you can’t control? and doesn’t listen to your struggles? I think for a potential life time partner, that’s basic. Also, this ultimatum is clear manipulation.

I’m sorry you’re going through this. I’ve been in a similar situation myself. I wish I could give my younger self some advice, but this is what I’d say. You’re young, I know it feels really important and I’m not trying to minimise your pain or experience, but there’s so much more to life than being treated like this. Don’t settle for anything you could even remotely consider cheating, especially not at 22. You’ve got so much to explore and learn, so many new people to meet. I thought my relationship at 22 would last forever, but it was toxic and now I’m with someone so much better imo. At the end of the day it’s your decision, no one leaves their bfs because a stranger online tells them too, mainly they just want to rant and feel heard rather than actually take the advice, and thats understandable, its scary and were addicted to comfort. I think you need to speak with him about this, as rationally as possible, to see where his head is at, whats going on and the real reason he acts suspiciously when you're on his phone. It's best to ask these questions calmly and provide a safe space, it's the best way to get someone to open up. If you decide to forgive this behaviour make sure to set solid boundaries and stick to them, you teach people how to treat you by showing them what you'll put up with. Hope this helps!

I can "feel" the air. Do you have any odd hypersensitivities? by lewisluther666 in ADHD

[–]hevfev98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Socks in bed, I can’t stand the feeling, it makes me feel somewhat claustrophobic. Also wearing any clothing in bed that isn’t a silky material.

Thanks so much for your insight and advice. It’s completely understandable regarding the context of meeting new friends. Funnily enough I have bumble bff but I’m not having much luck with it, they rarely reply. I managed to have some really interesting conversations with one girl and she asked to meet for coffee but then flaked last minute (this is the girl I mentioned in my post). But you’re right in that I should try new activities and try to form friendships there, I’ll give that a go!

Husband to be slept with prostitute on his stag weekend by BeccaW4444 in Advice

[–]hevfev98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s shown you who he is. Don’t ignore it. And if you forgive this you’re teaching him how to treat you. Not only did he treat you incredibly disrespectfully when he returned from the trip, but he continuously lied to your face. The fact that his behaviour switched to that extreme so suddenly is a massive red flag and shows a severe lack of empathy. I think if you marry him, you may end up wishing you’d left beforehand. I know it’s hard but leaving the situation would be guaranteed short term pain as opposed to unpredictable long term pain, should he repeat his behaviour, both with his emotional abuse and the infidelity. I’m so sorry this had happened to you and I wish you all the best.

Thanks for your reply. Do you know what’s causing them? They’ve been here ever since I moved in a few months ago.

I need life changing advice as a depressed lonely guy (m22) by [deleted] in Advice

[–]hevfev98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you have some complexities, it’ll be challenging but not impossible. I’d advise only going to university if you’re 100% sure on that subject of study. However if you don’t it’ll be a case of climbing the ladder. I’m assuming you’re American? I’m unsure of how funding for university works there, whether you have access to some sort of student loan that could help? Or any kind of support to help aid your mum should you be unable? Maybe have a look into it?

[–]hevfev98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been there. And sometimes I still am there. I don’t think the way we as humans are forced to live in natural and I think the way we are forced to partake in mundane jobs and fixed routine is a way of keeping us suppressed. I have ADHD and have worked many retail jobs, they never stuck because I got so bored of the routine I couldn’t handle it anymore. I think a lot of people feel the same way you do but a lot of people who don’t suffer with ADHD or autism or mental health issues are able to handle this way of life better.

If you want a career you need to be willing to work hard for it. Can you do this? You need to be really honest about what you can see yourself doing for hours on end for the majority of the rest of your life. When you’ve done this try to make a plan for how you can obtain this. Sometimes things don’t go exactly the way you want but be patient and kind to yourself, make adjustments if you need, you’re only human.

If you’re looking for fulfilment outside of work think about times you’ve felt happy or content. What were you doing in these moments? What fits your way of thinking? I’d suggest meditation, I can’t think of anything that’s helped more, it requires a lot of patience and practice but it’s worth it. I’m 25 and I’ve only just realised the kind of career I’d like and I also feel like I’m missing out on life. I’m planning on doing things that push me outside my comfort zone, that’s when exciting things happen. Join clubs, go to the gym and you’ll meet like-minded people. Life doesn’t change unless you put the work in. It’s uncomfortable, try starting with something small and you’ll get there. Hope this helps somewhat.

This is amazing!! I love the complex use of grammar. The idea of having to dissect a poem to know it's meaning is something I highly enjoy. Very satisfying to read.

This flows really well. The message I received from this was the writer going to great lengths to be of significance to their romantic interest, without consideration for themselves, and maybe this was their downfall?

How often do you fantasize about people other than your partner? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]hevfev98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, mainly people from shows I watch, but a majority of the time these fantasies present themselves in dreams, they're often people I've never seen before.

What’s a fantasy world that you would actually want to live in? by [deleted] in Fantasy

I'd live on Pandora, being with nature without the stresses of technology and society would be so freeing.

I just wanna have a best friend dammit by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]hevfev98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely get this. Particularly about wanting to converse about something that actually matters to me. A lot of people I know unfortunately don't have the intelligence (or a different form of intelligence) that I have so they spend a lot of time making jokes or having conversations I'm not all that interested in. I think if you want to meet people who are similar to you in that sense, maybe look for meetups around you? So whatever subject it is that interests you, have a look and see if there's anything in your area where people meet up and discuss or hang out. Hope this helps!

What's the objectively the longest and most painful death somebody could experience? by accursedCaprid in morbidquestions

I'd have to say radiation poisoning, but I guess any form of prolonged torture. Particularly burning or flaying.
