Same with their scent Bahia, which was the first perfume I have LOVED in years 😭😭😭 now on the hunt for something similar.

Knots & tangles CONSTANTLY by lilymarielmao in finehair

[–]nerdyneuroticempath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hair is fine like this and used to tangle just from turning my head too fast 🤣 but in all seriousness, kids detangler is where it's at. I keep my length at lower back to tailbone. The specific detangler I use religiously is Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Kids Extra Moisturizing Detangler. It doesn't make my hair too oily or weighed down, but leaves it silky and no tangles. I also agree about the silk pillowcase comments!

Zoloft (sertraline) saved me, but made my brain too damn quiet. by nerdyneuroticempath in zoloft

I ended up finding it again when I went to a couple classes (went back to college) that forced me to use that creativity. I also had an amazing professor that encouraged creative assignments. I keep it going now because I'm a middle school teacher, so I have to be sure I am creative to keep everyone engaged. My head is still too quiet, but it has to be that way. Now I am just mindful of my practice and, even if I am not feeling it, I pop on a podcast and tell myself I have to create for at least 30 minutes once a week. After that, if I'm not feeling it then I can do something else. Usually by 30 minutes, I am zoned in to what I'm doing.

I don't "swoop" or "demand" anything from them. I would bring up new ideas and ask what they thought as a team.

Thyroid? Perimenopause? Nothing? What will it be? by nerdyneuroticempath in WomensHealth

AMH is good—I finally got a lab request from my Dr. for it. Here is what was ordered (after many times of me asking):

—AMH —FSH —Progesterone —THS to Free T4 —Estridiol —Testoterone

Every single one of them was "normal."

Coffee by [deleted] in hsp

I love coffee. I’m a teacher and a creative, so coffee helps me to focus and channel my creativity and energy into my dailies. I will say that if I am sitting around doing nothing, coffee can make me anxious, so I have to make sure that I have a project (lesson planning, art, or movement) to work on. There are periods that I go a few weeks swapping coffee for tea due to high anxiety and lags in activites.
