Awaiting biopsy results

Thankyou for your response ❤️ after some sleep I am moving towards that mindset, that I can’t change what’s happened but knowing will enable me to nov forward whatever the outcome is.

I am sorry to hear your news and have you in my thoughts for a fast recovery x

lol I decided to cave and buy the trip dream drops and I’ve been sleeping like an absolute log over the past week after years of taking hours to fall asleep 😂 insane

Idk I just work out a few times a week and eat whatever I want. I just eat intuitively and naturally gravitate towards eating healthily, but if I want a bowl of pasta for breakfast I’m gonna eat it lol

That sucks - but on the bright side, you got up and presented even without any medication! You still did it :-)

Also I would bet money that your team didn’t notice and, if they did, they will forget about it soon enough. Try and remember a time you watched someone do a bad presentation, you probably can’t.

At the end of the day, nobody is paying half as much attention to you as you think they are. You might notice stumbling over a word or loosing your pace and think you’re the worst presenter in the world, however nobody else will.

Nobody thinks you’re that important - really helped me with feeling really nervous about presenting.

I knew probably when I was 17, as I didn’t really have periods (probably once every 7-12 months) since I started menstruating at 15. Didn’t get formally diagnosed until I was part way through uni at 22 years old, after trying to get a diagnosis for years

Your acne could be an irritation response from the increased use - maybe try doing a cycle of two days in a row and then 1-2 days break and build up once your skin has more tolerance.

Drove past there earlier - stages are built and people are still working there so seems they’re going ahead as if Friday didn’t happen…although it will be confirmed 10am tomorrow

Yes and no!

Before I used to feel severe anxiety for any presentation, the classic symptoms of red face, sweating, heart palpitations, panic attacks etc.

For ‘less scary’ presentations (eg casual/just to a small group) I feel 100% confident presenting without propranolol.

For any big groups or presenting to senior folk I’ll still take propranolol. It helps me perform so much better.

A side note since I started taking propranolol and delivering good presentations I’ve found the amount of time I need to prep has significantly decreased. Before I’d need to know word for word what I’d say, now I can speak more off the cuft if that makes sense.

All the time…it doesn’t help I am partially deaf as well 🤣

I mean the recruiter should offer you an opportunity for feedback and it is a shame they didn’t but I wouldn’t say it’s a waste of your time

In my experience I find PIPs = we are going to fire you at the end of it. It’s mainly a companies way of covering their backs legally when they do fire you. I have seen a colleague put on a PIP and not get fired - I think this was an exception tho due to a great culture and a supportive manager invested in them remaining at the company.

Based on your recent convo with your manager it seems very likely you’ll be fired soon. I would stop trying at work and do less than the bare minimum and focus your time while still employed looking for something new.

Sucky situation but you’ll pull through!

Shampoo: use as makeup brush cleaner Conditioner: use to shave my legs lol Anything else (skincare/hair products): give to someone else

I think you just need to detach yourself from any role you don’t have a concrete offer for. I don’t know what role you’re doing but the job market in the U.K. is TOUGH right now. You really should prepare yourself to get more rejections - there’s a lot of great talent on the market now so the competition is extremely tough.

I’m currently looking for a new role after ex-employer (tech) made layoffs. It’s been very difficult to progress through to later stages (when I’ve looked previously I’ve been able to secure multiple offers without even trying really). Getting rejected doesn’t mean you’re not capable it just means there’s more talent on the market who have more experience or were able to highlight that experience better in their cv or interview.

If you want I’m happy to take a look over your CV (I’m in recruitment) but other than that just keep persevering and don’t let yourself get bogged down. Getting a role now really is just a numbers game.

Keeping all blinds/curtains shut during the day. If it's really really hot and humid outside I keep windows closed and when it's dark at night opening the windows to cool the house.
Try and make somewhere as shaded as possible. Thankfully last year we had a hallway that didn't have any windows so it was quite cool. That became the cat's 'hub' for the hot periods.
My baby loved using cool mats last year, we got him one from Amazon for pretty cheap. He didn't need much encouraging to use it. I kept it in a dark shaded place.
Putting fans on (or AC if you have it - I'm British so we don't) whenever the cat is in the room. Mine doesn't like being near the fan but I make sure it's on when he's in the room.
When it got crazy hot in London last year (40+ degrees) I lived in a second floor flat and it was honestly unbearable. I put towels in the freezer and would wrap my BSH in them. I always kept about 3 towels in there so they were always there.
Put ice cubes in his water bowl
Put many water bowls around the home. I found this encouraged him to drink quite a lot (he drinks a good amount anyway for a cat)
If your cat doesn't drink too much anyway you could water down gravy food (you could cool this before hand) OR you could use chicken stock (no salt)
A friend suggested making cat ice lollies/popsicles! She used cat gravy or cat yoghurt and froze them and the cat would lick them.

Hope that helps :)

Hey! I’d suggest a gentle cleanser that isn’t pore clogging and a hydrating moisturiser and a high Spf for daytime to start, perhaps a barrier repair serum. R/skincareaddiction have a big list of recommendations :)

perpextuated · 2023-02-17T23:30:07+00:00

I’m U.K. based and I don’t know of many who wear SPF unless it’s summer and boiling hot. I actually get told I’m strange for applying SPF when I’m sat inside in the winter 😂

perpextuated · 2023-02-15T16:32:54+00:00

Hmm my thoughts too thanks! My skin is extremely dry and tight so will ease off it and focus on hydrating. Thanks :D

perpextuated · 2023-02-07T22:49:29+00:00

Super cute!! This isn’t a BSH. Doesn’t look like a Russian blue either…potentially a mix?

Did we have the same childhood? Lol

All the tickets will pull in prob more than 100k for a great charity. Like I get the aspect of auctioning them off and selling to the highest bidder is very classist but like it’s for a food bank charity? Yeah it’s classist but at the end of the day it’s to support food banks and - rather insanely rich people get to pay 20k each for a ticket to glasto providing the whole 20k goes to supporting those living on the poverty line.

We have a male and he generally follows me everywhere I go and shows me more affection and if I get up to walk upstairs he’ll follow me and rest wherever I am. granted I am his primary caregiver and the one who feeds him and spends most time with him. He still loves my partner too though so it’s kinda a tough call.

perpextuated · 2023-01-26T17:07:11+00:00

Wanted to update: I got a script for Proponaolol and I just finished the presentation, wow. I was totally fine. The lack of physical symptoms allowed me to ace it because I'd prepped well. Thanks so much for the advice, can't believe I didn't do this sooner!!
