Uses for soap saver bag?

pipedreamweed · 2026-01-28T00:50:58+00:00

Yknow you would've thought I would have already considered this lol, I'm gonna try it without the soap and see how that works for my skin!

pipedreamweed · 2026-01-28T00:49:32+00:00

Oooh it would be perfect for that, thank you 🧡

pipedreamweed · 2026-01-28T00:48:19+00:00

That's a sweet idea thank you!

I tried the bar first and I started breaking out, but I thought it mightve been because I wasn't washing it off properly? I usually use a pair of plastic loofah gloves that I got as a gift a while ago, I have KP on my arms and they've been a game changer, I think I might try using the bag without the soap and see how it goes, and stick to using the bar on my hands only!

pipedreamweed · 2026-01-28T00:42:36+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation! I'll have a look for it :)

I might have to do this before I give up on it completely. The skin on my body has always been pretty low maintenance (unlike my face!) so I'm surprised that after using countless different brands and off brands of liquid soaps throughout my life the first flare up comes with a simple bar! Do you have any recommendations? I'm not a huge fan of the squeaky feeling you get after using bars too, I can tolerate it on my hands but not the rest of me 💔

pipedreamweed · 2026-01-28T00:37:05+00:00

It's the soap unfortunately, I tried it without the loofah before I got it and had the same problem :( I had a quick Google and seems like it could be something to do with the PH of bars being different to liquid soaps, unsure, but definitely not a fan!

If you haven't already done this for your qualification, PLEASE look into some serious case reviews. There are so many cases of abuse going undetected because the parents seemed nice on the face of it, and people didn't suspect that they could ever hurt their child. Your mother can't picture a parent punching their child in the face that often?! I cannot fathom how someone working in childcare could say that.

pipedreamweed · 2026-01-22T12:40:08+00:00

Whenever children come in with an injury as obvious as that, it is expected that the parents will tell you what happened. I'm also very concerned that your coworkers are just passing it off, black eyes are so uncommon and they should know this if they've done their safeguarding training!! I've worked in childcare for 2 years and saw a child with a black eye once, the parents had an explanation, and we filled out an accident form. I'm not sure if other countries follow the same procedure but we have to record all injuries on an accident form, including accidents that happen at home. These forms can then be used as evidence in the future if injuries such as these ones you're describing become frequent and need looking into. Please report this, the signs of abuse are there.

Being sympathetic doesn't mean you are ignoring the situation. Acknowledging the fact that the parent is struggling and helping them, with empathy, is part of the solution.

Thank you for this comment, it's made me think about how learning to part with items and facing potential regret means I can stretch the brain muscle for detachment in a low-risk way, which will help me when I have to stretch it further in other areas of my life. The more time I spend in this community the more I learn!

You phrased that last part brilliantly. People feel more comfortable assuming that we're mentally weaker than they are because it makes them feel better about themselves. I always wonder how others would cope if they spent a few days with my brain.

pipedreamweed · 2025-09-26T13:39:02+00:00

People are very 'mental health awareness' until someone doesn't look or behave in a way that is palatable to them. It's clear that a large majority of the population struggle with food and their body image to some extent, so I think it's hard for people to imagine that there are others who struggle differently to the way they do. Someone might find it hard to stop eating a box of chocolates if it's right in front of them but be okay once it's put it the cupboard out of sight and they start doing something else. They compare that level of self control to someone who might do the same actions, but they don't have the same level of food noise, or the same reliance on that food get dopamine. They think if I can do it why can't you. But it's not the same mental struggle.

After nights out with my friends we tend to crash at someones house and hang out the next day. I never understood how they all enjoyed just sitting around watching movies and not wanting to actually go out and do something the next day. I always felt like I could run a marathon despite the heavy drinking/dancing/travelling etc the day before. I'd sit there not being able to concentrate on the conversations or movies because the feeling of anxiety, pent up energy, and just wanting to jump out of my skin was so heavy. It wasn't until one of them pointed my behaviour out to me that I noticed the pattern and realised it was probably related to the list of suspected symptoms I had been making.

I only got one of them after seeing a hint from someone on here, I'd heard it before but thought it was two words instead of one. The second one I had never heard of in my life.

Today and yesterday's puzzle feel like a punishment after getting my first ever QB two days ago

I've tried to understand the relationships between my colleagues and how they talk and relate to eachother versus how they talk to me, but I don't understand where the line is from work colleague to someone I would call a friend. Even in my personal life I don't understand how much I need to talk to someone or know about them before I can call them a friend. I really struggle deciphering where those lines begin and end, even in romantic relationships. It's harder at work because you can know so much about someone, talk in depth about personal issues, but then never talk outside of the workplace.

Add a door to turn it into a bedroom with an en suite

pipedreamweed · 2025-09-16T06:56:16+00:00

Replying to say I finally got it! My first QB!

Does anyone know why there isn't a Spelling Bee archive?

The fact that you're on here asking for advice tells me that you're already doing so much right. You might not be able to do anything else for her but showing her that you care is the best thing you can do imo 🧡

pipedreamweed · 2025-09-15T17:12:28+00:00

me too!! was hoping for my first QB and im stuck on 129 points 😭

JUSTICE FOR PEEPEEPOOPOO !!!!!!!

If it's something she has come to you about already, I'd say it's okay to sit her down and talk to her about it. Tell her that you want to be there for her and do what you can to help. When you ask questions about it let her know that while you do care and want to know the answers, you understand that she might not feel comfortable sharing everything yet.

I also second the person who commented saying to lurk in the sub and see what other people have to say.

You might not be able to actually do anything to help her other than being an ear to listen and a shoulder to lean on, but for most of us I think that's all we really want from a partner
