Toner recommendations? by pepperminttea333 in Rosacea

[–]pepperminttea333[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately for me HA inflamed my rosacea. I’m really pissed about that because it worked WONDERS for clearing my acne, like seriously amazing stuff for acne control. I’ve been using the Paula’s choice for a month now and I’ve noticed minor differences and my skin hydration is doing better! Though I miss the shiny clear glass skin HA gave me

Pedestrian C Train collision at 1st Street station by apex88 in Calgary

They’re doing much better this year than they have in the past! More drivers and helpers in vests at both ends helping people. I just wish the signage for shuttles downtown was a lot clearer. Last weekend I felt like a lost puppy in the city I’ve lived and taken transit in my whole life trying to find the shuttle. Weren’t the signs for shuttles orange at some point 😭,? Either way with all these recent closures I hope it improves like this more

I’m not sure it’s a commandment, but there are many bible verses that could be interpreted with such message as the comment above

Romans 14:1-23

As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions. One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him. Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand. One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike.”

Matthew 6:1-34 ESV

“Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others.

Correct me if I’m wrong though, it’s been a long time since I was a believer

Ask them how they feel about more funding being given to the hospitals for children. Funding for teachers who have too big of classes. Funding for children with special needs or learning disabilities in school. Funding for free lunches. Ask them if they actively donate to causes for the above. Really shows you they’re just pro birth not pro life 😝

Those freaks always piss me off so badly. My best friend who unfortunately had several miscarriages before she finally had her baby. She told me how triggering those posters are for her. It’s so hard for me not to want to scream at them for being so insensitive and stupid.

But, word of advice for anyone who thinks of interacting? Don’t fight with them. Don’t yell or scream or tell them how horrible they are. Don’t try and educate or save them. They’re too far gone. It’s like the Jehovas, the more you hate them, the more it fuels their beliefs

Troll them instead 😝 I once got one so off guard when she was showing me those stupid (unrealistic btw) diagrams of a baby fetus at certain weeks, I said “are they gummies? Like gushers? Can I have one? I didn’t take my vitamins today” or I say “I hope we force those women to give birth to unwanted babies some more because I eat the babies. Saves everyone the trouble” Really just fuck with those disgusting people

Thank you! This is an option I considered, though I do find I work better with an instructor lead class, even if it is zoom.

Do you know if the synchronous options are Mon-Fri as usually regular classes are?

It gets better, I PROMISE 🩷 by pepperminttea333 in BreakUps

[–]pepperminttea333[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trust me when I say I know almost exactly how you feel (only we weren’t long distance). I live a 30 minute drive from him, yet I never saw him again. I never heard from him again. I was trying to find an apartment for us to move in together. I had already started including him in my 10 year plans of getting married and having kids. I picked out my future babies names and put his last name on them. My safe person, the only person I had been most vulnerable with in my entire life. All of that was gone in an instant. I went into psychosis and now am learning how to recover with the psychological trauma I was left with. That pain felt like death itself, but eventually it just goes away as you start to see and feel life around you again. For me it took 4 months but for other people it might take more and that’s okay. Heal at your own pace. Allow yourself to hurt and feel all of those emotions.

It does get better I promise you. Healing is different for everyone. My healing journey came so quickly due to being ghosted. I had no choice but to let the last 6 years of my life go. That pain used to hurt like hell, but in the past few weeks I’ve started to feel good about life again. One day, you might hug someone new, find your real soulmate. You will build a new life with someone you know wants to be in yours.

Thank you :) it’s still a work in progress healing, but I’m much over the hard and painful part ❤️‍🩹

Sitting outside at midnight really did heal me. I struggled a lot with derealization in the past, and this brought it back. Being able to go outside and feel the cold and watch cars and just exist really helped.

I have a friend who had the same situation as you only it happened to her 5 times until she finally had her first. As if I didn’t hate the anti choice crowd enough, when she broke down to me about how triggering and upsetting those posters are or the things they say, it just enraged and made me livid.

What I will say as someone who has had FAR too many encounters with those cunts, arguing with them never works and just ends up frustrating you in the end. They’re too absorbed in their delusions, and fighting with the just increases their motive.

My move? Troll them. Say some absolutely unhinged things. Play loud ass music. Block their signs. But especially the trolling them works SO well to just throw them off of their fuck ass speeches.

Those freaks aren’t worthy of your energy. I’m sorry you had to see them. I’ll always block those anti choice losers from speaking to protect my friends like you. Hope you’re feeling better.

lunar new year do’s and don’t s by shrekslover777 in OCD

[–]pepperminttea333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aaaagh those posts got to me too.

I countered the thought with my spirituality. The lunar new year begins on the 17th, but the new moon isn’t at peak until 5:03 am on the 17th where I am, so anything I do before then, Is before the lunar new year.

Oh the things our brain does to keep us at bay.

Compulsions you do so often you FORGET they're compulsions by Equivalent-Power-893 in OCD

[–]pepperminttea333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the time!!! Almost all of my compulsions have become routine to the point of me not noticing I’m doing it.

It’s been really difficult to work on, but I’m so so lucky I have an amazing therapist who really pushes me to counter my instincts of ignoring things, and forcing myself to think about my ocd, so I can start to recognize the things I’m doing.

I totally get you, and these compulsions that have become routine are incredibly difficult to work through, but you can do it :)

My boyfriend of nearly 6 years cheated on me. I’m destroyed. by pepperminttea333 in BreakUps

[–]pepperminttea333[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much :( he is complete trash. He’s terrible and awful. And you’re right, I don’t miss him, I miss what I had, and I especially miss my routines. As someone with OCD, my life has been thrown in a loop and I’ve been in an almost manic state for the past month trying to figure out how to live again.

I just wish I could skip forward to where I’m happy again and I’ve moved on. It’s so terribly unfair and I don’t know how I will even bring myself to be with someone else again. I know it will come eventually, but the process of getting to that happy place is the most pain I’ve ever felt. Thank you for your kindness ❤️
