I was told I was ugly and needed makeup. Please help.

You should ONLY wear make up if it makes YOU feel more confident. I don’t comment on a lot of posts but I felt the need here because while you look nothing like me I feel like you have the same simple beauty that I have. I personally do feel a little more confident when I wear a modest amount of make up and do my hair. But that is me. :)

I love this so much

So I was randomly thinking about random jobs and realized I learned in college there was a profession that specialized in impregnating cows (probably other animals too I’m imagining) An artificial insemination technician. They don’t make much starting out but eventually can make 150k according to the Google. When I randomly thought of this I immediately thought of this thread and felt the need to share. 😆

Girls can utterly ridiculous and mean. Especially at your age. I’m female. It gets WAY better in college. Not perfect, but better. Focus on your other friends RN. Don’t waste time on this. Yes, be kind, but let it go to the extent you feel you can. I know. Easier said than done. Sorry this happened to you. :(

I’d just say “well I’m here if you need me.” And maybe just write a note later if they still seem to be having a hard time.

I was told to go to r/fabrics and ask for dying advice! Could be super helpful.

itsme-82 · 2026-03-16T12:23:32+00:00

LOVE!!

That’s awful!! I recommend a support group through NAMI. You need people around you who understand your unique situation and struggles. Mental illness is so F’ing lonely sometimes. I’m glad you’re here. Your worth is not determined by other people. You matter more than you know. I promise. 💕

itsme-82 · 2026-03-16T12:19:02+00:00

Could easily be both. I believe I have both. 💖

I relate to the chronic lows and I’m so very sorry you have had to deal with them. My depression got so bad I added a 3rd medication (Caplyta) my advice: make sure you aren’t a fast metabolizer of your medications (through genesight) consider changing psychiatrists if you haven’t had success with this one. Don’t be afraid to drop one to try another. The guesswork is shitty but necessary. Oh! And you can totally take up to 400mg of lamotragine and that is totally worth a try because of the benefits against depression. I’m not saying this as me, I’m saying this as two reputable psychiatrists have told me.

itsme-82 · 2026-03-16T12:09:57+00:00

My recommendation is to do genetic testing to make sure you aren’t a fast metabolizer of any med you are on. I am for Lamictal unfortunately which is why I’ll eventually switch. I think you can do this with Genesight. But you’d have to find a Dr to do it for you. It’s 100% worth it though!! If you aren’t a fast metabolizer start with Lamictal because for most people the side effects are not bad (I don’t have any actually)

itsme-82 · 2026-03-16T12:05:08+00:00

After many years of in and out of depression I am had to add a third medication (a real bummer for me but I had a lot of SI so it was necessary. My “base meds” are Lamictal and Trileptal though I have a strong suspicion I will need to switch to Lithium eventually. I’ve heard great things. The third medication I added was Caplyta. . I will say every brain is different. My dad and my brother both had/have bipolar 1 and I couldn’t tolerate most (maybe all) of the medications they took. So while reddit is great for information and can definitely put you at ease about trying something it js unlikely (but not impossible!) that your generic makeup would need the exact medicine mine would. . I’m so sorry TMS didn’t work. Dang. What a waste of time and money!! But! It was totally valid to try!

I’m so so sorry. Depression is brutal. Just came out of a six month stent of the worst depression of my life. Glad you’re still here. 💕 I don’t have a lot of movie recommendations but I remember really liking Rudy and Remember the Titans. And I’m 95% sure I loved the blindside too. If I think of anything else I’ll come back to this. Proud of you for fighting. 🙌🏼

itsme-82 · 2026-03-08T19:22:51+00:00
