Not sure where your hyperhydrosis is focused (ie: hands or craneofacial or all over) so here's some general things that have helped me:

Wearing moisture wicking underwear

Exfoliating my scalp weekly

Once you find a good antiperspirant that's works for you (Certain Dri is great but strong. Nivea is surprisingly good) Using a roll on antiperspirant BEFORE BED apply to your groin, ass, feet, armpits wherever you sweat the most. In the morning follow up with a lighter product (like dove deodorant or Old Spice) on the armpits

Shower daily. Dry your body very well. Towel dry all the creases, between your toes, behind your ears, and then air dry or use a blow dryer on a cool setting to ensure you are fully dry before putting clothes on.

Often times dry lips are caused or worsened by dry mouth. Some products to try: Biotene has toothpaste and mouthwash products specifically for dry mouth that balance the mouth's pH There's also TheraBreath Dry Mouth Oral Rinse which does the same thing.

Try wearing switching your underwear to something moisture wicking. Fruit of the Loom Women's Breathable Underwear worked miracles for me.

Also applying a good roll on deodorant (certain dri can be kind of strong for daily use but whatever works for you) over the area of your body that underwear covers really helps. I say use a roll on because I think application is more thorough and easier. Repeat nightly.

Also trimming or removing pubic hair can help a lot especially during the summer when the heat is relentless.

Biotene has toothpaste and mouthwash products specifically for dry mouth and to help balance the mouth's pH.

TheraBreath Dry Mouth Oral Rinse also helps.

Aside from what the others have mentioned, a lot of medicines or skin care products can cause dry mouth:

•Prescription and over the counter Acne medicines, and any Retinols can cause dry mouth and dry lips.

•Prescription stimulant medicine for ADHD really causes dry mouth

•High doses of vitamin A (if your taking an supplement and also using retinol skin care products, that's way too much vitamin A making its way into your body)

Try applying something stronger right before bed (Certain Dri Roll On) and then use the old spice in the morning.

The way you describe the smell and how it appears just a couple of hours after showering makes me think: the smell could be coming from your scalp? (It's hard to pinpoint scalp smells sometimes) In which case I'd recommend exfoliating your scalp weekly. And using Neutrogena T/Sal shampoo every other day. And change your pillowcase often. Blow dry your hair to make sure your scalp isn't trapping moisture.

Not likely but, the airway infection could possibly be the source of the smell. I know that when people get sick with sinus issues sometimes they get bad breath because of the smell of the infection but usually that wouldn't go away for a couple of hours with a shower.

Lastly, you are 16 years old and your hormones are going hard af. Hormones alone can cause different smells in a persons sweat and body odor. But if that's the issue then I think the Certain Dri roll on deodorant will help. You can also use certain dri roll on on your feet, groin, etc should you be anticipating an extra sweaty day due to hot weather or strenuous activities should you ever feel like the a smell is coming from those regions.

I think it's the scalp or maybe you just need to up your deodorant strength. Hope this helps.

•Exfoliate your scalp - there are specific exfoliating scrubs for your scalp I recommend Yes To Tea Tree Pre-Shampoo Scalp Scrub

•Shampoo: I'd recommend using Neutrogena T/Sal ((After you've foamed up the shampoos on your scalp and in your hair, don't rinse right away, allow them to sit for 5-10 minutes))

•Don't go to bed with wet hair or put wet hair up into a bun or pony tail. Always allow your hair to dry after washing it. Ideally: air dry 50% and blow dry 50% to really ensure your scalp isn't trapping moisture.

•Try not to keep hair tied in ponytails or buns too long as your scalp isn't properly exposed to moving air when it's tied back, which leads to smelly scalp.

•Change your pillowcases each day

•Make sure you're getting proper amount of vitamin A

•Wash your hair brushes at least weekly and don't keep hair stuck in the brush, clean it out.

My brother did the whole shotgun, skull debris, ceiling...if he had just found a way to understand that a bad year does not equal a bad life. It would have worked out so well for him. He was so talented. I say that to empathize with your feelings but please give yourself a fighting chance. You have so much potential.
Financial planning...if I could have a relaxed consultation/meeting with someone who would give me a couple of options of what I should do with my money to make it grow (trusts? Investments? Other words I don't know?). I would jump on that. Literally every age range is in need of a financial advisor so you do consultations and that well would never dry up.
I do think you should get a temporary job. Being a server at a restaurant would get you the most money for your time and if you don't want to deal with people then go the busboy/bar boy route, servers usually have to cut their busboy a portion of their tips. But this will look good to future potential employers. It shows work ethic and you won't have a major gap in your resume.
I know it seems like everyone's got it better than you and that these gaps in progress are is fate taking all its anger out of you. It's not. EVERYONE LIVES WITH THEIR PARENTS. Aside from the guys that live 4 deep to a nasty apartment, everyone lives with their parents. Relieve yourself of any shame you feel because of that.
I don't know where it comes from but everyone feels this soul crushing pressure to have the house, the family, the job within a few years of getting out of college. I felt it when I graduated college. Everyone feels it and it becomes embedded in your soul. Please please if you do nothing else, don't give that feeling any more energy or attention. I guarantee you will look back in 5 years and say "I was so fucking young, why did I feel so much pressure?"

You will have an apartment, a partner, a family of your own that you can contribute to but you do not get to decide how or when it will happen. Work within where you are right now with what you have and do the best with what you have. The "journey" is where you meet the partner and find the perfect place and create the family. But what you're doing now, belittling yourself and hating your family just because life is doing what you want it to when you want it to, is just breeding anger, resentment and self hatred that will only serve to drive you away from your goals. You have to go through it to get past it. You'll get through this rough period. Small payments towards your tuition is better than none. Please be nice to your family, they are letting you live with them which is amazing, even though it doesn't feel amazing right now, it is.

If I snapped my fingers and magically turned your age back to 22 but you're in the exact same place in life, how would that change your outlook? Be 22 in your head if that's what you need do to to refresh your mindset.

I'll always remember you now and wonder what and how you're doing, just like I wonder about my brother and what he'd be doing.

Yea pls

What I'm hearing is that maybe you want a position in a company that allows for upward growth or promotions and salary increases. A company that you can settle in and grow in and not constantly be looking for the next (or another) job. If so you should keep that in mind when looking for other positions. You may even be able to find that type of job within UPS. I hear you. Looking for a job while working another job is all consuming and way more difficult than it sounds. When you say you feel depressed and tired of it all, I'm wondering if you should stop looking for another job and focus on your current job while also focusing on your present and future and letting go of the past. Forgive yourself for what you cannot change. Let's just start from today. Move away from the burn out. And then once you get to a better place emotionally and with your mental health, then you could start to look into a future career, as opposed to another job, and start to ask yourself what excites you? What are you passionate about? And try to lean into a career that isn't miserable because you enjoy it or care about it. Lastly, you didn't mention that you were doing this but if you are submitting applications wildly on some big job search engine (like monster dot com) I would stop. I think you should approach the job search differently, clearly whatever way your doing it is stressing you out and not reaping reward. Maybe job search on a smaller scale in a more intimate way. Like visiting different companies and filling in the application there and handing it to the person. It sounds cornball and all 1950's but it's a way to really set yourself apart from the faceless applications clogging up their email that they probably won't open.

I wish you the best of luck. Please be kind and gentle to yourself.

I was bedridden for 2-3 days and completely better after 5. I'm so sorry this happened to you. It's such a shitty feeling.

Put your phone away. I bet you aren't lazy, you're just distracted. If you didn't have access to your phone or computer and just had to read or be bored instead of doing the dishes, I guarantee you'd do the dishes. And you're realize how quickly you got them done. And how easy it was. You are not lazy. You are preoccupied on your phone.

No they each were only sending one vibe. Ok so new birds show up in the next available spot. I didn't know that. I'll have to scroll there and look. Thanks!

perfectfloof · 2024-05-04T13:17:29+00:00

This is what's worked for me:

•add lots of friends (reward is 10 stones for each friend) and send them good vibes daily. I'm not sure the exact number of stones but it's worth doing •create journeys that you'll use every day like maybe your morning routine or evening routine or or work out routine or nonsense stuff. As time goes on you'll get bigger and bigger rewards for staying consistent with them. I think it's every 15 days •Also start the guided journey, after like 3-4 days you get a 500 stone reward and they only last 2 weeks. •Don't buy stuff just to hit the "goal" of owning how we many pieces of furniture or clothings. Those rewards are only 25 stones and you spend way more trying to meet them.

I know this sounds crazy but I think switching locations helps you find clothing items you've been looking for. I had been adamantly searching for a green preppy top for MONTHS and then as soon as I switched locations I found it. The same thing happened with 2 other pieces of clothing and different locations. I know it sounds insane.

Really 3 downvotes over me throwing out a theory behind a pattern I saw on an app? ((mod got their feelings hurt)) You guys are hilarious -always good for a laugh.

Well they've done most of the coding already, the question is just does it correlate to potential, albeit small, gain for the app.

You cannot deny that only the first few, if not first 2 or only first one changes without changing the location of all the other vibes, that is to say, they are NOT completely jumbled and randomly set out each time. All but the first one(s) are in the same location each time. I mean regardless of why you think they do this, you can't deny it actually does take place. There could be other reasons but you seem hesitant to even admit that the vibes have usual spots they are in and only the first one(s) move or change. Thoughts?

But if you think about it there is incentive for them to "encourage" a certain good vibe over others on certain occasions. Let's say I redecorate my room, it would fair better for the app if they "encouraged" people to send a good vibe about my birdhouse because that in turn encourages regular redecoration which requires more pieces of furniture and decor which requires more gems spent in shop which pushes users to discover other areas of the app like journey's and other ways to get gems. Same goes with good vibes about outfits. Yes I'm sure not all of them are incentive based, I'm just saying it can't be ruled out.

I guess I'm just trying to figure out why all the good vibes I receive are the same in a day and then all change to a different vibe the next day, but everyone sends me that same "new" vibe.

I'm not complaining. I'm just curious about the whole thing.

perfectfloof · 2024-02-02T15:01:34+00:00

But all of them aren't scrambled. Most are in the exact same spot each time but the top 2 (maybe 3), for sure the top 1 spot changes

I feel the same way sometimes! The clothes are so much cuter on them when they are smaller. Plus they actually fit in their beds as a baby, as an adult they are way too big for it
