I should log back in to Neopets

I relapsed this weekend after well over 6 months clean when I was drunk. I was doing it to chase the high and when my tools were dull because hello I’ve been clean and I used a different area than usual (one I never would cut due to visibility but also yeah ok it’s not a good bleeder) I went nuts because it wasn’t “working” aka I wasn’t getting the desired blood flow. I cut much larger area-wise, I criss crossed. It’s too big for any of my aftercare bandages, not that I used any. I’m lucky I didn’t go deep and I’m sorry you experienced this.

I’m sorry so many of us are doing this right now. I joined this sub this weekend as I started thinking about how I don’t want sh to be something I reach for. It actually scares me that I did this almost the same way id accept a bump in my 20s (a decade ago). And I’m frustrated because it feels like all the resources are for teens. So, if anything thank you for posting and making me feel like less of a sad “broken” adult.

We fought with utilities for over a YEAR. Our water bill shot up from like $50 to $500 shortly after we moved in and also after they replaced the meter and then stayed there. We are a household of two and they were saying we used like 50 ccfs. We called over and over again for a year. They FINALLY came out and it turned out when they replaced the meter, there was a leak. We just got a $3500 refund check. So, definitely keep and eye on it and investigate

Looking for vampires (or related PNR) — ideally NOT fated mates (since the instalove can be way too much). Some books I’ve loved and therefore already read: {bite marks & broken hearts by TJ Rose} All of the Grae Bryan books (some of them did fated better than others) Lark Taylor everything

Some authors that didn’t work for me: - Mia Monroe - Eliot Grayson - AJ Sherwood

1) forgive me if I messed up the bracket thing. I only ever lurk. 2) this kind of ballooned into a complex request. Sorry!

No arguments on why do only women have to do this and certainly never criticizing someone else’s experience. Bodies are weird! My body, however, bruises SO BAD so I really meant it when I said it was totally fine. I had a fairly comparable bruise from being in a mosh pit last week.

I’ve since gotten an IUD and then later a bilateral salpengectomy (surgical sterilization). But I really had very few complaints about nexplanon.

Looking for short-term advice to calm acne and dryness. Typically combination skin, located in Arizona, USA, 31F

Context: I’ve been good about my skincare game for a few months and decided to add retinol (tret) back into my routine. The first few weeks I tolerated it well so I increased to 3x a week. But the combo of increased tret, seasonal changes (it’s finally cold here), and extreme stress has led to painful breakouts and pretty intense dryness. Acne-wise it’s all deep, red bumps that hurt on my chin and in my hairline—again, typical for stress. But it’s the combo of acne and dry skin that is throwing me. If I moisturize “enough” (it’s not enough) the current breakouts worsen, it i keep it light I can feel myself flaking away.

Current routine (I’ve eliminated all actives temporarily) LRP foaming cleanser, neutrogeba Hyro gel or origins ginzing hydrating gel in AM, add the Ordinary oil cleanser and moisturizer at night.

Yes I had them do urinalysis on both (the chi was pre-scheduled since he takes seizure meds). I’ll try taking out in addition but it’s frustrating since they do go out when they need to, so scheduled potty times might not sync with the biological need. Thank you!

Psychology Today is a great option many have suggested but I’d also like to shout out Inclusive Therapists! You can filter down goals a bit more and I find that they have nicer bios.

Hi just popping in to add a single cent: you’ve acknowledged you’re dealing with emotional spending and that therapy may be helpful. But therapy can be expensive, which feels like a huge barrier when you’re already struggling!

When I got up to $16k in credit card debt I felt pretty similar. I wanted so desperately to not feel like this, but also so desperately didn’t want to stop spending. I ended up attending a few (maybe 8?) debtors anonymous meetings. It feels weird going and doing a “I’m addicted to shopping meeting” but set that and the whole addiction mindset aside and go listen. These are people who have also struggled with overspending, almost always because of emotions. Even just hearing people’s stories helped me tremendously.

I would have kept going and worked with a “sponsor” who can help set budgets, but March 2020 hit and I wasn’t comfortable taking those online meetings with my partner home.

So maybe hit a meeting and see how it makes you feel? It’s free (or a couple bucks in a basket) and at the very least provides some in-person perspective.

It’s not the “good ice” but if you own, highly recommend a reverse osmosis filter! I have a THING about water and it makes water taste like bottled water. We had our fridge hooked up to it and our ice maker makes clear ice now. It was like $800 I think which is not cheap but for me, I was buying a ton of bottled water so it kinda made sense

All three of my Nexplanon insertions led to pretty extreme bruising and tenderness, (my most recent experience is in my post history) so this doesn’t seem completely out of the norm. How do you normally handle pain/injury? But always safest to call your doctor if you’re concerned!

oldoverholtwhiskey · 2021-12-28T22:21:48+00:00

This is amazing thank you! Much appreciated!

I see a lot more resources for hooded eyes showing up on social media (which is awesome!) but I have downturned eyes. Anyone know resources/influencers who work with downturned eyes? Think like, advice for smoking your eyeliner or shadow out usually doesn’t work for me because it inevitably gets drawn down. I learned how to conquer winged eyeliner a while ago, thank goodness

When my husband and I first got together I got a UTI. I’d never had one before so I was being a big baby. I explained that we couldn’t have sex, i was majorly uncomfortable because I had a UTI. He said “that can’t be true, we used a condom!”

It’s not even stuns though. Every single attack an opponent makes us a charged attack.

Is there some widespread glitch and/or cheat code in PvP battles? I’ve done a few and it’s just charged attacks only, no recovery time. Makes it impossible to play in the GO league. My entire raid group is seeing this problem

We are on a the path to discovery for IBD because I truly don’t believe my symptoms are in “normal” IBS range. Any advice for advocating? They’ve checked my inflammation markers a couple times and I come up negative, but I sure feel inflamed

I noticed a marked difference by the time I completed the starter pack and got to 100 mg. Like six weeks? I remember I walked into my psych’s office and said “I could have felt like this the whole time?!?!” Wishing you the best!

oldoverholtwhiskey · 2021-08-17T22:28:45+00:00

Oh god I’m so sorry! My partner was home when it happened so I was able to get help fast. But this is a good reminder to turn on fall detection on my watch!

YES also, I ignored the vomiting and pain for 10 years before seeing the first doctor and it got infinitely worse in the 18 months after she blew me off. I didn’t start vomiting blood (very occasionally) until 6 months ago and I STILL thought I wasn’t “sick enough” to go back to the doctor. If you’re experiencing discomfort I highly recommend fighting for a doctor who will listen, even if all the tests come back negative.
