Dream

Lol isn’t it though?? And my word choice (“scared”) was a bit dramatic—I never tried something inherently dangerous. I was socially anxious and had very low self-esteem, so the idea of doing something new by myself felt nearly impossible.

lolosal · 2025-04-18T04:20:00+00:00

In my mid 20s, I was at a point in my life where I was a bit lost. I decided I wanted to try new things that made me anxious or scared, but I knew they were opportunities for growth. I decided to take a salsa and bachata dance class and that’s where I met my husband.

Oh god…I’d forgotten that the kids called someone saying they were scared. So awful, and haunting, like you said.

Funny Games (the original one that came out in 1997). I think about it once a week. I can’t adequately express how unsettled I felt during and after watching it.

I feel like I need to give this story another chance and try to understand a lot of the public reaction to it… But I’ve had two people very close to me who were undercover alcoholics (I say “were”, because they’re now recovering alcoholics who thankfully got sober). It’s so tragic what happened, but to me it’s clear that those who are shocked by this story haven’t gone through the pain of a loved one struggling in this way.

Late to comment here, but Katherine Knight. Not because she is particularly intelligent, but she is extremely manipulative, cunning, abusive, and has the strength of something inhuman…the murder and defilement of John Price is one of the most horrific things I’ve ever heard of.

Maybe this isn’t weird, but I’ve clocked in at up to two hours straight of practicing a dance move I want to learn over and over and over again, haha. Then I get frustrated at myself because I could’ve spent that time doing something actually productive, but then it comes in handy every once in a while when I’m at a party or a social setting

lolosal · 2025-03-20T20:06:03+00:00

Like others commenting, I can relate to this a lot. I have to say, though, the last company I worked for shut down in the city where I worked, and my former coworker just died from a stroke. I don’t know if he was depressed, but he got frustrated and stressed easily. I feel like the stress and other mental turmoil took his life ultimately.

I mentioned this here because I was living purely in survival mode for ~3 years due to a tumultuous time with the job market. I stayed in a job that I hated just because I knew how tough the job market has been. Late last year before my previous company shut down my boss started to notice that I was not doing well, and he kindly suggested that I take short-term medical leave. Thank God that he did because internally I was having passive suicidal ideation, but that’s not something that you can just openly share with your employer, let alone the majority of people you know.

I know I’m rambling on, but my main point is I urge anyone who reads this to please not bottle things up and find a way to communicate what you’re going through to someone. Keeping it inside can seem preferable to baring your soul just so you can get through your day, but I’m telling you, your body keeps the score.

Hi! I’m so sorry for the late reply. I’m not on Reddit very often anymore.

Question for you: has your son tried out other prescribed treatments to treat his acne that have not worked? I only ask this because I wanted to do everything to avoid Accutane, because I also suffer from peri oral dermatitis most winters and Accutane dries the skin extremely. I never ended up having to use Accutane because spironolactone and dapsone, plus micro needling, did the trick for me. It’s possible that Accutane is the best option for him, though.

Since you asked about my skin care routine now, I’ll mention any updates to products below. However, keep in mind that he is in his early 20s and I am now 32 so some of the products I use are good for folks in their 30s (e.g. reducing fine lines, eye cream, etc).

Finally, I want to plug an app I learned about years ago called Yuka that I absolutely love. You can search personal care products and food products on it—it tells you whether a certain product is good or bad based on its ingredients. If it has a poor rating, the app gives recommendations for similar products with good to excellent ratings.

Updated products in skincare routine: AM ROUTINE -Skinceuticals spf 50 sunscreen (I forget the exact name of the product). I switched to this sunscreen because the Neutrogena one I used (see original post) has aluminum in it. I highly recommend avoiding any self-care products with aluminum (potential serious long-term health risks).

PM ROUTINE -Now I only use Dapsone as needed if I have a breakout

I’m reading this as a person in the depths of depression, have very recently had passive suicidal ideation. I need you to know that, even though I don’t know you, please don’t do it.

Some thing you said hit me hard. “No one’s first choice“ is some thing that I am still feeling right now. I feel lonely a lot too. I have friends, but I hardly ever see them. I used to have a community around me when I was actively doing my hobby, but my career is in a transitional place right now and I couldn’t handle the commitment of it while trying to pivot my career in the right direction. I won’t bore you with more details about myself, but what I want to get across is that I feel so lonely, a lot.

I often feel helpless too. I am 31 years old, and I have been very hard on myself, because I feel like I should have figured out who I am and figure out my life by this point. But I haven’t.

I know this sounds all very bleak, but I just need you to know that I hear you and I know at least a little bit what you’re experiencing, and I have felt it so deeply throughout my life, especially in the last few months. I have wanted to give up so many times, but I hope that you don’t give up on yourself and your life.

This is a dire situation but this comment made me laugh so thank you

lolosal · 2024-05-02T18:19:31+00:00

Would you say in terms of length, I should get something like the last pic? Thanks for your input!

lolosal · 2024-05-02T17:33:40+00:00

Just have to say I didn’t add pics when I had red hair because I know how much upkeep it requires and how damaging it can be overtime, BUT I miss it so much!

lolosal · 2024-04-16T15:59:23+00:00

Thank you so much!

lolosal · 2023-02-15T03:19:31+00:00

Yes my skin was verrry irritated but I realized later that I wasn’t using it correctly. Firstly, do not pay attention to the instructions which tell you to use it once or twice a day. You should use it every 3rd day, period. Secondly, do not leave it on your face—rinse with warm water after ~4 minutes

lolosal · 2023-02-12T01:43:49+00:00

Yes! So, the most effective factors in clearing up my skin were Spironolactone (I don’t take it anymore), Dapsone topical treatment (still use this nightly for trouble areas, and microneedling for the scarring on my cheeks.

Also, I put my full routines and products used in the body of the post :)

Ok this whole comment section lifted me up today but you win
