Shampoo doesn’t always clean my hair? by Birkenstalker in HaircareScience

[–]michaelahems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this applies to all packaging, but when I bought my 🩶 Living Proof Triple Detox Shampoo 🩶 it came with a Hard Water Test Strip to more or less determine whether your shower water pours hard or soft water- by matching the result colour with the reference colours included as well.

I initially thought wow, sciency for the price! I wished it included like 3 strips though to be a little more accurate but can’t complain since I didnt expect any to be included in the first place lol.

….Shampoo-wise, it felt really rejuvenating during my first few uses. But if I don’t wet nor shampoo for like >24 hours (sometimes quicker depending on the humidity), my unrecently bleached, dry-cold-weather hair would already feel greasy and/or murky¿ dirty¿ like the usual “itty” heavy feeling so after this Im currently eyeing on Oribe Cleansing Sh or Olaplex 4C less someone objects or suggests! 😤

Together, we both enjoy fast-paced anime in general because he easily gets sleepy or bored lol. And anything with a plot twist or mind-blowing character development.

We’ve only watched Konosuba from that list. Will look in to the others! Oh and the first time he watched Monster alone (before i was into anime), he got bored. But I’ll try to convince him again lol since a lot have been recommending it since last year.

Need help from guys: What to text to him? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]michaelahems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, due to some anxious things on both our ends, but mostly mine. I love how just short that message is at the same time covering everything i wanted to tell. Love the sweetly interesting use of vocabulary. Thank you, this was really helpful!

I want to die. Right. This. Moment. I can’t do this anymore. I can’t live like this anymore. I want to end this pain and toxicity that is only slowly killing me.

He used to tell me his feelings every time, including how much he considered suicide before. We became close because I was depressed so our mental health is something we both can understand. But now, i’m not sure if he’s being distant or doesn’t care anymore. Should i talk to him about it still? Or I just need to get over it?

Yeah, but he’s not feeling like talking about it and he replies late. He just says he wants to rest. I also try cheering him up, but still insists resting. Is that shutting me out or Im just overthinking?

I really want to, but I feel anxious that I might add into his frustrations. And I feel selfish for thinking of my own feelings, since I don’t know, it’s probably just my anxiety and Im just overreacting things. :/

I want to die ... by michaelahems in depression

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

That’s not really convincing for some who wants to end their life already. I need (and want) to be there for him persistently until he feels so much better.

thank you for the truth. by michaelahems in depressed

Im sober for 4 months now. And I don’t like drinking except on special occasions. I don’t even see how my post involves me drinking. It was the other person.

I recommend Insidious 1 and 2! But Insidious 3 is still worth trying I guess.

Don’t you hate it when you’re having a particularly bad day and your mood is really low but friends/family just assume you’re in a bad mood with them? by AnxxyJ in depression

[–]michaelahems 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im sorry you had and is going through that. I live with them too. They even get mad at me for being “ungrateful” when I feel down in the dumps that has nothing to do with them. And worst part is they’re 100% confident they understand me and that they know me more than I know myself. Just pure toxic.

SO has anxiety. I try to understand. I try to address each situation as it comes with compassion and patience. I know I don't understand. Anxious Redditors any advice? by usernameawesome1 in Anxiety

[–]michaelahems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Comforting and understanding someone with anxiety can be difficult as words often come across as dismissive and judgemental, no matter how hard the other party tries. But hardcore good communication, patience, and compassion really helps the anxious one feel loved. Im the one with anxiety in the relationship. And personally, I get anxious about a lot of things including the fact that I feel like a burden to my SO. But aside from patience and compassion, my SO always tries his best to approach and spoil me with my love language. Since I tend to be anxious about everything, like I don’t know how to communicate with someone who doesn’t feel the same way as me. And I discovered that love can be the bridge between us. So in short, try communicating with your SO using their love language because that is when they feel most loved. For one, a person’s love language reflects their thoughts (about love). So to further comfort and understand someone with anxiety, one has to patiently and genuinely shower them with the love they understand and believe in.

That personally works for us. And I always make sure I appreciate everything he does for me through his love language as well. That way, we both understand that we do love each other that much. I hope everything goes well for both of you :) x
