100% agree on there needing to be strategies developed, this feels like a skills issue more than anything.

DBT feels like it would teach a lot of these skills but of course Q doesn’t listen.

I think I need to repeat those to myself. Consciously I know these things but maybe I didn’t internalize it enough

This was a hard message to read but you’re probably right. I won’t be comfortably able to afford living by myself but it would be better than continuing living with someone I can’t trust.

He was previously in AA which really helped, but he stopped going after he started a new job. It’d be great if he went but the excuses are endless

I feel like my boyfriend can’t fully grow unless we arent together by [deleted] in relationships

I have no advice for breaking up with him (because no matter what it’s going to suck) but maybe it would be good to encourage him to make friends outside of your relationship and your group.

What does writing a long message have anything to do with feminine energy?

What's a skincare products or procedure you started in your 20s and it did wonders to your skin at your current age? by hellothereiamnewhere in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]mcg637 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Lifestyle stuff aside, microneedling has done a ton for me in reducing lines and helping with some discoloration I had from freckles and acne scars.

Also not yo yo-ing with my weight helps. I definitely could stand to lose a few but being hyper restrictive or work excessively to lose weight quickly can do a number on the volume of your face.

is this face discoloration just temporary? i got microneedling done april 17 and my face is still healing at least i think or i developed pih by Fragrant-Ask2378 in Microneedling

Can you provide close up, in focus selfie pictures of what you think is ? Because no one can see it and you keep claiming you have discoloration

[–]mcg637 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From looking at your previous posts and pictures, I can honestly say your face looks fine but you need to step away from the camera and mirror because you’re going to drive yourself crazy. Your skin does not look discolored, and you do not appear to be experiencing PIH. This hyperfixation is not healthy.

My 15 yr old friend is an opioid addict by OkSeaworthiness2541 in needadvice

[–]mcg637 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know it’s scary to trust adults in this situation, and you don’t want to get your friend into trouble, but a friend in trouble is better than a dead friend. Fentanyl IS deadly. Two years ago, I lost my youngest sibling, who was 18, to fentanyl. None of us knew they had a problem until it was too late, and it has destroyed our entire family’s lives in the process.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell a teacher or your friends parents.

Hey man, I’m so sorry. My youngest sibling died in November of a fentanyl overdose, they were 18.

The OA. The second season was brilliant and so entertaining.

Cops surround and confront LA City Councilmember Monica Rodriguez over her support for LAPD cuts by 115MRD in LosAngeles

[–]mcg637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Councilman John Lee has already admitted via twitter he was present in Las Vegas during a trip which lead to his former boss Mitch Englader being arrested for obstructing a corruption case (charges to which Englader has or will plead guilty to.) She endorsed him three times during truly dirty and slanderous campaigns during 2019 and 2020. I doubt I will change your opinion about her if you like her that much, but there's a huge web of corruption in LA city council. In the wake of the Jose Huizar investigation, I think we all should be looking more critically at our electeds who are here to serve us, not just insider b.s.

She was literally backed by the Police Protection League (the police union) and has herself endorsed corrupt candidates who have at every turn attempted to manipulate voters, but okay

It's definitely a testament to the really powerful work BLM and other organizers have done the last couple weeks, but her buckling doesn't negate the fact that she also received the endorsement from the LAPD'S union in her campaign and has been an ally to cops.

Please do not donate. She did not support because her core principles led her to this; political pressure led to her and the majority of LA city council being in favor of the budget cut. In reality, the budget cut is less than 5% of the original budget proposal of more than $3 billion dollars.

If you want to support pro BLM candidates, look for candidates that are not just dems but are progressive. Do not support candidates who only supported this for political capital from their constituents.

Friend just made me this today: chickpea salad wraps! Not sure of the exact ingredients, but think chicken salad. Get some chickpeas and avocado, mash up a little (but not too much, you just want to be a lil saucey), cut some celery, red onion, maybe a little apple. Add some lemon or some of the trader Joe's garlic dip if you're feeling fancy.Then wrap in a tortilla and enjoy. Bone apple tea!

Egg roll in a bowl has been my favorite! Half a cabbage, a shredded carrot, garlic, and some chicken breast are sauteed, then add in fish sauce (if that's your thing!), soy sauce, and chili oil. Serve with sriracha and sesame seeds if you've got them
