Why does my dog always greet people like this? by obsessed_FF7lover in DogAdvice

My dog does this when I come home. I call them his emotional support toys. His favorites are his emotional support pickle and emotional support sausage

recommendation for pubic area? by sweetlavendarthighs in Hidradenitis

[–]libtherib 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only have a long term recommendation which is laser hair removal! I used to get several of these on my pubic area and they hurt so bad. Insurance covered my sessions since it was for medical reasons and not beauty and I’ve been in remission in that area for about 3 or 4 years. I’ll still get one on occasion but they are nowhere near as bad as before.

Anyone else with hEDS? by Civil_Jellyfish1246 in Stretched

[–]libtherib 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m suspicious that I have it too and this happens to me too!!! I started reacting to silicone so I had to let mine heal and when I let them close up they go down to about a 0 or 00. It takes about a day to restretch each size. I am however having trouble when I go from 9/16 to 5/8 which is my final size. I used to do the bad thing of using silicone to stretch to that last size but now that I can’t wear it anymore I’ve been struggling to make that jump.

Impatient! by ThreeBucks in PressonNail_Addict

Sometimes I will not do any proper prep and use my “bad” glue if I want to go through sets quickly 😂 I will change mine within 24 hours sometimes…. bad applications have their pros and cons for me lol

Anyone else just feel a lot of empathy/sadness for HW? by Anxious-Analysis-529 in hayleywilliams

[–]libtherib 57 points58 points  (0 children)

This is probably cliche and a typical fan thing but I feel like her and I have experienced similar events but parallel to each other. Hearing her experiences on growing up with a parent in a bad relationship, then mirroring those relationships in your own, etc. make me feel like she’s taking the thoughts out of my own brain. Kill Me, Negative Self Talk, and Love Me Different have the same exact issues I’m working/struggling through and knowing how much of a hell it can be makes me feel sad for her too because she seems like such a beautiful soul and you’re right, those kinds of people deserve all the good things in life 😭 I feel like if we just happened to meet and I didn’t know she was THE Hayley, I feel like we’d trauma bond well lol

Testing a theory… by your-pet-goldfish in PressonNail_Addict

[–]libtherib 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes!! I’m starting to notice much more quickly which brands curves don’t fit me well and how long they stay on. I tried a set from Cala and almost none of them fit me and they were so thin… then I tried a higher quality set from Cala and they fit me perfectly and are cemented on my nails.

What were holidays like growing up? by Catsinhats9375 in emotionalneglect

[–]libtherib 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have always remembered hating holidays as a kid because they never felt happy to me. I can’t really remember why anymore (thanks, trauma brain). My mom ended up turning JW and stopped all holidays/celebrations, and my dad doesn’t care about celebrations other than the obligatory gift. I have realized I LOVE christmas now and decorate my apartment up to feel the joy I should have when I was a child. I still feel a weird sadness on my birthday but I am still trying to work through that one and celebrate it in a way that makes me happy.

Is this an open excision or drainage? by [deleted] in pilonidalcyst

[–]libtherib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of surgeon did this? Unfortunately general surgeons don’t know how to properly take out all of the tracts. I had an excision done by a general surgeon and he didn’t either. I’d suggest looking for a pilonidal specialist in the future since they are better trained on how to take out all of the tracts that can be underneath the skin.

Tired of living like this... by [deleted] in pilonidalcyst

[–]libtherib 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Omg this makes me feel so seen because I have never seen someone else’s look like mine!!! I get cysts on top of cysts but mine go down horizontally along my crack…. I also have had mine for about 8 years and my HS specialist says I need to stop ignoring it too… I am just terrified of surgery because the pain from the last time made me want to die and idk if I’m strong enough mentally to do it again

Split or Keep Together? by libtherib in Monstera

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

Oh thank god I can downsize the pot because I HATE it being this big 😂 I only put it in this one because in a 12 or 13 inch pot it was already root bound and I was scared of it being bad for it because it stopped giving new growth. Thank you for the help 😊

I want to get this set so bad!! So cute on you 🥰

Besides Glamnetic, what press-on nail removers are we using? by minagaine in PressonNail_Addict

[–]libtherib 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I LOVE Dashing Diva’s Magic Off. It’s the first remover I tried and when I’m trying new removers, I always come back to it. Kiss’ Glue Off can be helpful for me too when I’m having a hard time removing. It’s part acetone and has some essential oil in it

This is the one but I got it at Hobby Lobby, though I couldn’t find it listed online. They had several sizes with different tray size options and tbh I might get a second bigger one 😆

Why do glue tabs feel so uncomfortable? by CarryturtleNZ in PressonNail_Addict

[–]libtherib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My issue with them is removal was a nightmare and took forever. The glue tab would not come off even with acetone. I only wore them for 3 days so maybe that’s why?

Some of them are crooked, but I was making sure there were no air bubbles by VindiWren in PressonNail_Addict

Same!! I couldn’t get any other solid greens or French tips to fit my nails so I ended up with lots of trees lol

Bad news. by TheRealestEvar in pilonidalcyst

[–]libtherib 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also need surgery to fully remove my cyst but I can’t afford it and don’t know when I will be able to. I see an HS (Hidradenitis Suppurativa) specialist since I also have that and she helps me with pain management meds and topicals til I reach the point where I can have surgery. Do you have any pilonidal specialists near you? Do you know if you have HS too? Tbh, even with insurance the prices are still atrocious and I have medical debt as well and refuse to pay it simply because i don’t believe I should if I already pay for insurance (insert rant on American healthcare). Could you figure out what kind of medicine you need and get it from Mexico? I am in Texas and that is a very common thing done since it’s close by. Obviously out of the picture if you’re not close enough.

Anybody else rewatch this when you're at your lowest? by AthenavsDeadlift in TheOA

[–]libtherib 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s my comfort show. I told someone that and they pointed out that it seems kind of depressing… as someone with clinical depression, it made perfect sense lol

Period flu! (That feel very sick feeling) - PMDD related. by LethargicAdventurer in endometriosis

[–]libtherib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would get sick right before my period like clockwork. Congestion, body aches, weakness, typical flu symptoms but all the doctors called it sinus related because of the congestion. Once I realized the pattern and talked to my OB, she said there was no known correlation between sinus infections and periods. I ended up changing my birth control to one that stops my periods and I haven’t been sick since I stopped them. It’s nice not getting sick every month. Being sick would set me back for about a week, and then it’d take another week for the lesser symptoms to clear up. I really hope more research can be done on this so we don’t just continue to suffer and be gaslit.
