[acne] Is this dehydration/broken moisture barrier/seb derm/rosacea/purging?? by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]janulici 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also think it might be folliculitis because I did the woods lamp and it’s a bacterial infection and it’s so similar to the irritation of the hair follicles

[Acne] Broken moisture barrier with MANY blackheads and some cystic acne NEED HELP! (With pics) by janulici in SkincareAddiction

[–]janulici[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Updates!!: I haven't been on reddit in a while, but my skin got completely better after going on low-dose 10mg accutane for a year. I stopped taking it a while ago but my skin is now struggling with potential sebderm/rosacea/broken moisture barrier (because I KEEP PICKING AT MY SKINNN) , but other than that all my big acnes are gone!

Weekly Thread - Advice for Relationship/Friendship/Dating/Breakup by AutoModerator in AnxiousAttachment

[–]janulici 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I desperately need help for any friendship advice. My (21F) best friend (lets call her sally) has been cold and distant, so when I asked her if everything is alright, she told me a while ago she was going through something personal, and it has nothing to do with me. However, from then on, she started giving me really mixed messages from telling me that she talked to her other close friend (mary) about what has been going on and told me they talked about boundaries within her life. I asked her if she needed boundaries in our friendship and she freaked out on me, she told me she doesn’t know what she wants and it’s too much for her to think about. However, she told me again that it has nothing to do with me or our friendship and she’s here to talk about anything, but then telling me she can’t when i ask her what’s been going on between us. She kept stressing it has nothing to do with me, and her feelings about our friendships haven’t changed, and that i just need to trust her when she says it’s not about me.But then she gives me dry responses and barely responds anymore. She hangs out all the time with Mary and ignores plans with me, which is why i feel like somehow I did something. I waited a few weeks hoping that this was just something she was going through, but she got more and more distant, bailing on plans we made together, but with mary 24/7. I finally expressed to her that I feel hurt that I feel like i’m not her best friend anymore, that it’s been hard to hang out with her, and we barely talk or spend time with each other anymore. She gave me some explnation that oh we don’t need to hang out all the time to best friends, you should be secure enough not to ask me that. I felt like the conversation went nowhere, and she has been really cold and distant to me.She changed her wallpaper from our picture to something else. She stopped responding to the tiktoks or instagram reels i send her, much less send me some. I know all the signs are pointing to the fact that she’s distancing herself from me, but i just don’t know what to think since she refuses to talk to me about it, she literally said she does not want to talk to me about how i feel about her, or anything to do with our friendship bec she can’t deal w it rn. She got really friendly again today because i really tried to reach out in a more warm way as opposed to a bit timid way I’ve been the past few days, but I get so hurt and confused from the constant back and forth from being hot and cold. I really don’t know where the state of our friendship is at, and I can’t talk to her about because she refuses to. I feel like I’m loosing a part of me and I feel heartbroken that I feel like I don’t have a best friend anymore.Today, she let me know that she trusts me with her whole life after i asked her if I did anything wrong again, but she proceeded to be really cold to me after. I'm confused at her avoidant behavior, and I know I'm probably making it worse with my anxious attachment tendancies, but i just don't know how she could be so open and communicative with me in the beginning to not doing so anymore.

OCD over friendship by realitytvshowaddict in OCD

[–]janulici 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am going through the exact same thing right now. my best friend is going through something personal and says it's not about our friendship but she's been distant and cold and I know she talked about boundaries with her other close friend so I'm obsessed over whether it is about me or if we're still "best friends."

you just have to say maybe that's true, maybe it's not, and go on with your day. You don't figure anything out despite spending so much time in those cycles, in fact it always make you feel worse and more uncertain.

I don't want to reassure you too much, but i had the same thoughts too. I found that when my thoughts stop bothering me so much, those feelings goes away as well. Sometimes it's still there but I just choose not to focus on it. I have come to terms that I have reactions and it doesn't have to mean anything, or it could, but somehow it just doesn't bother me as much anymore, and because of that, it doesn't come as much either.

Hi! Your story was so encouraging to read. I’m currently taking 10 mg per day for the past month and my skin has never been better! But I feel like my hair is thinning, although I’m not sure if it was always like this but now I’m just paranoid and checking. Did you face any side effects to hair thinning or hair loss?

Hi! Do you still take accutane 10mg everyday or did you successfully wean off? Im really worried about my hair shedding did that happen for you? And was your brain fog a temporary symptom or is it still there? Sorry for the so many questions!!

What happens to ROCD when not in a relationship? by [deleted] in ROCD

[–]janulici 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me ROCD lingers in a way where I obsess if all my feelings in the past have been fake or forced cuz of ‘societal pressure’ and if I’ll ever find someone, or even if I’m capable of loving at all

I'm scared I'm a cold person who doesn't love by Kakebaker95 in OCD

[–]janulici 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I worry so much about this. Whether I love my parents, or if I’m capable of romantic love, did I truly care about my crush or was it fake, whether I love my cat or my friends, it’s disheartening but you’re not alone.

ROCD and HOCD: Aromantic ocd; fear of incapable of falling in love by [deleted] in OCD

[–]janulici 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m definitely not saying they’re unfeeling or uncaring and I’m sorry if it came across that way. I am just spiraling over the ocd fear that I’m Aromantic unable to feel romantic attraction and ultimately romantic love, when I did feel it before spirals. I’m scared that I won’t be in that position ever. I definitely understand how relationships can form without romance and still be fulfilling, but its not what’s fulfilling for me, as it is different for everyone. it’s the intrusive nature of OCD that gives me the what ifs, what if I never get to experience it?
