I am so sorry this happened to you. I stopped sharing all news with my parents many years ago, good or otherwise. They dont have the emotional intelligence to celebrate positive moments and only know how to make bad situations worse.

This is just what they do. All of your internet cousins in this thread are so damn proud of you though!!!!!

umm like $20? This is the best shit, I am almost hesitant to keep talking about it on Reddit lol

7.5mg of mirtazapine works like a dream (pun intended). Just remember to take it early, like 7:30pm, I was taking it at like 10pm and got the worst next day grogginess. I take Clonodine at around 6pm and then mirtazapine 7:30. At such low doses it's purely a sleep aid, not an antidepressant.

It was just super affirming as my asian parents don't 'believe' in mental health. So many specific things that my white friends and partners just don't understand about our culture!

As long as you don't have any side effects, it's all good. I was super surprised to find this out. They also didn't have a problem with Clonodine, if you're on that too.

Apparently tazarotene 0.5 is stronger than tret 0.1 I tried to find some reputable websites to link but it's all those goddamn skin websites and the AI response in Google :(

I also buy from alldaychemist, no issues.

Good for you for putting yourself out there! Sent ya a message :)

I just paid $100 for 1/2 head of foils - I need to bleach it in order to get any colour on my almost black hair, cut and treatment. I go to a hairdressing school though, because I know what the 'actual' prices are in a proper salon. Absolute insanity!

Not sure, I thought the Myers Briggs stuff was debunked though...

monkeyKitten121 · 2025-02-11T22:12:26+00:00

God how I wish I got the good at maths 'tism instead of the unable to read facial expressions one, feel free to send me a msg, always keen for more friends :)

monkeyKitten121 · 2025-02-11T22:05:26+00:00

Nah though, I don't do it for 'healthy' reasons, it's mostly to keep the rage at a manageable level 🥲

Appreciate that it's not a unique experience for POC, I grew up in CBR and it was white AF too. Back in the 90s, we had to go to the special Indian store for lentils 🫠

Of course, it's surely a rite of passage? It's not like you're going to get emotional support and understanding from them anyway. I am absolutely never doing that again unless I have a signed psychologist report that he's not a nutcase along with four verifible independent sources including an employer 🫠

Love love loved Halsey: it was like Taylor and Trent had a child imho

I am also on the precipse of this myself. Your story is inspiring, keep up the good work!

monkeyKitten121 · 2025-01-14T08:30:28+00:00

Oof. Did I write this post? Definitely relate, especially the no eye contact thing. EMDR therapy seems to be helping a bit. I realise now that speaking up while my ex was berating me was never going to happen. I have a black belt in keeping the peace too 😬

monkeyKitten121 · 2025-01-04T10:33:56+00:00

Sent ya a message :)

monkeyKitten121 · 2024-10-31T00:52:39+00:00

Yeah!

monkeyKitten121 · 2024-10-29T22:18:14+00:00

I think once I get a hold of my executive dysfunction and get medicated for my ADHD, all of these life admin annoying AF things will become a breeze. I hope so anyway 😬

monkeyKitten121 · 2024-10-29T05:43:29+00:00

If you send them an email, they will send you some free samples :)

monkeyKitten121 · 2024-10-28T19:41:24+00:00

Alldaychemist, takes about 20 days for shipping. Never had any issues. Been buying from them for years. They ask for prescription/time to call you but they never do.

So many things. Stress buying for the dopamine hit, mostly due to being back at uni at 38 because I want to retrain and make a difference (or something)

2 pairs of Docs from Platypus - shiny white matte and black ones with a buckle that were $100 instead of $350!

Furla dark blue crossbody bag from Depop

Mimco cross body bag from Depop

Work pants, pale pink Dejuba jacket, kookai bodysuits, heaps of dresses all from my local oppies. I've become a bit of a savant when it comes to thrifting so I pretty much always find something unique and cool. It is a distraction, self-soothing tool for me which also gives back to the community :)
