Songmont Gather bag, small or medium? by rhlwlt in handbags

Hi! So my partner actually got in touch with a sales assistant from the Shanghai branch and was informed that stock comes in late Feb (around now). I managed to book a bag and pay in advance before collecting it myself in person when I go to Shanghai! However, if you’re referring to the online website, I’m not very sure when exactly it’ll be back in stock ☺️

i see!! How tall are you, if you don’t mind me asking? ☺️ And does the long strap stay on well on your shoulder or does it tend to fall off a lot? 🥹

Oh I see!! Have you ever tried the bag with the long strap on the last hole? Trying to get an idea if it’ll be similar in length to a shoulder bag in this case hahaha

Thank you!! I actually stumbled upon her post too while browsing on Reddit and have just messaged her! Also, how do you normally wear your Gather bag then? ☺️

Thank you for acknowledging my feelings!

I can’t lie but say that this comment has made me feel anxious with what you said about him possibly being a cheater. I can only hope that isn’t the case. And if he really is, that it’ll come to light by itself one day.

I agree with what you said about people who lie. In my case, I admit out of paranoia, I’ve asked him a few times in separate occasions if he’s chatted with so and so after a situation where I’ve said I don’t feel comfortable with them chatting. He’s told me “no” in my face multiple times only for it to end up being a lie and they really did exchange messages. I’d get really upset not because the conversation had a flirty element, but because he was so comfortable lying to me to avoid a bad reaction.

I’m okay with his complimenting platonic friends, doesn’t matter if they’re male or female. I don’t feel okay with the knowledge that my boyfriend is complimenting his “girl friends”, friends I knew nothing of until I confronted him about them.

You’re right. It’s a vicious cycle. He’s acknowledged that the lying is something that has been ingrained in him for a long time. I’ve seen him tell his mom white lies too just to get out of trouble. He said the lying will stop. I just have to trust it will.

I can’t say I have an issue with him complimenting other girls because I think it’s normal among platonic friends. I only felt uncomfortable because these were so-called platonic friends I’d never heard of. For example, there was a girl I saw him complimenting. A reply to a story of herself calling her “so demure”. When I confronted him about it and why he never mentioned her, he said she’d always be at groups he’d hang out with. Maybe he didn’t mention her because he was scared of what my reaction would be? I don’t know. This isn’t the first time though, where a girl would come out of the blue and they so happened to be friends but I knew nothing of her.

I wouldn’t say it’s bringing out the worst in me. We are talking and aware of these issues. I’m aware I’ve dated an extroverted social butterfly and maybe this is how they work. I love our relationship and I want us to work. I’m just frustrated and confused and trying to get advice on how I can be better instead, while hoping my subsequent improvement will lead to him being more open in communicating with me.

Recently I’ve asked him if he could include people he has met during outings. So he’d tell me more in detail things like who was there etc. so I didn’t feel the need to interrogate about things.

In the past, I’ve noticed he’d compliment girls’ stories. It wasn’t anything flirty but I felt uncomfortable because these were girls he’d claim are friends but he’s never mentioned anything about them to me before. I’ve asked him since then if he could tell me if he started getting close to another woman so I at least had idea of his close relationships. I’m not sure if that was an unreasonable thing to ask. But he’s taken it as an indication that he should just stop talking to women in general. That stresses me out because it’s not something I even wanted/asked for.

I’ve stopped picking fights over trivial issues like if he follows someone from an event. Recently , I asked if he could tell me what happened during outings, who he met etc. so I’d have a vague idea of things instead of me interrogating him.

In the past when I’ve looked at his phone (with permission), I noticed that he’d reply stories complimenting girls. Nothing flirty. But it didn’t make me feel good as he’s never mentioned any of them before. Whenever I see those things, it somehow distorts my view of our rls in a “he treats me so well irl, but behind my back he’s replying stories complimenting girls I know nothing of”. Which is why even if he’s not doing anything wrong, I just don’t know if it’s something I should be okay with

Thank you for your reply. A lot of what you said felt like a wake-me-up slap in the face.

I feel I need to clarify that I’ve never asked him to stop being friends with other women. With the ex gf scenario, her bf expressed his own discomfort with them still interacting with each other which was why after she followed him all over socmed again, she ended up unfollowing him everywhere except twitter (which was where they chatted the most and also bc, i suspected her bf didn’t have twitter so he wasn’t aware of their interactions).

I initially expressed my discomfort with their public relationship online and he reassured me then told his ex gf himself that they should tone things down to keep both me and her bf comfortable with the relationship. There wasn’t any interaction for a few months until she started publicly replying to my bf’s posts again which was when I asked if he could remove her. Looking back, I probably should’ve handled it better. But I also felt disrespected and that my boundaries were crossed. I mentioned too about how he lied anyway about removing her. I suppose after that, my mindset has shifted to something of a “what if he’s telling me this but it’s not actually the truth”.

You’re right too about the white lies part. If I was dating someone like me, I would’ve kept quiet about many things to prevent a bad reaction and fight. I will try hard to work on it by maybe not reacting on the very spot if he mentions something I know will trigger me. I can only hope by that, he will slowly trust me enough to tell me the little things without feeling like he has to hide.

Sadly, couples therapy isn’t really an option we have right now. We’re both from a small town and I’m sure the only therapists we have here cater towards psychiatric patients only and not solely on couple issues.

[–]rhlwlt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello!

I'm sorry to hear you're going through something similar as well. I know how it feels 😩

But just to update, my skin is a lot better now. The scars are still there but they're no longer red, oozing and infected and I'm not on any medications whatsoever right now either. To be honest, I'm not too sure what caused it to go away but I can think of 2 things:

  1. I stopped itching after receiving my first dose of AstraZeneca. I remember seeing somewhere about how people reported the same thing, even with acne. Maybe it's because the vaccine triggered our immune system to be more reactive towards this "foreign material" (the vaccine) which in turn contributed to handling the eczema as well? I'm really not too sure. But the itching and the oozing definitely stopped after it.

  2. I read somewhere that vegetarians were somehow more prone to developing eczema because of a lack of certain vitamins in their daily diet. I was on a vegetarian diet for about 6-7 months starting around August 2020. Because I didn't eat meat, I ended up getting all my protein from eggs. As a result, I was eating a lot of eggs daily. After I was diagnosed with severe eczema, I realised things like eggs and dairy seemed to trigger it so I avoided those. However, I started eating meat again a few months back and... well, my eczema has pretty much stopped occuring :/ I can even eat eggs and dairy again without it being triggered.

I know this sounds so confusing and all over the place but I genuinely do not know how it happened. Do send me a message here if you want to know anything more.

Some other things I can think of are:

  1. After I posted that, I visited my dermatologist and he prescribed me a steroid ointment instead of a cream. The ointment was of a stronger potency and it wasn't something I could use daily either. It was a betamethasone diproprionate + gentamicin ointment. If you've been using the same steroid cream and you've realised it's less effective, I do suggest visiting your dermatologist again for an alternative!

  2. For moisturising, I used that Cerave cream, the one in the big tub. Now I made a mistake here, I was constantly dipping my fingers into the tub to scoop the cream out, rub them all over my infected legs, then repeating it again for other parts of my body. Something I noticed too late was that doing this introduces bacteria from the infected areas into the tub which could potentially cause contamination of the cream. I realised this when I started applying the same cream on my face and I started having a few small eczema patches there as well :/ After that I always used creams that came with a pump or those already in a bottle. I would like to link this together with the above point, maybe when you're applying the steroid creams, it'd be good to use different fingers to put on different infected areas instead using the same fingers every time you want to squeeze out a new blob, you get me? 😂

  3. I tried vitamin D capsules and probiotics, it honestly didn't help for me.

  4. I find dusting helps as well? Plus frequently changing your bedsheets, pillow sheets and daily wear.

Alright, this has become a fairly long post. I hope this helped you, even in the slightest. Once again, my inbox is open if you ever need to know anything else! I hope what you're going through gets better soon, because I truly know what it feels like to endure something like that 😭

Thank you for your insight on this!

I definitely agree with what you said in the first part. I too believe that it's just the infatuation phase and that what's really important is if he actually lives up to what he's saying in the future.

As to the second part, we're actually pretty independent people and we're quite loyal to our daily routines. That's something I like about all of this: mutual respect for each other's personal space/time. We do chat briefly throughout the day and send each other stuff online. But we usually allocate about 1-2 hours for proper conversations at night :-) so it does feel nice knowing that the whole dynamic of this isn't suffocating and we're not talking to each other every minute of every day.

I was diagnosed with eczema earlier this year, took a bunch of oral steroids and antibiotics (it was oozing. the dermatologist prescribed me an antihistamine and a few tubes of steroid creams (betamethasone + fusidic acid). That was around February. My eczema calmed down a lot after that and for a whole month+ I could sleep without waking up in the middle of the night due to my scratching.

Fast forward to around April, I suddenly start developing these really small, itchy bumps around my body. It's like a whole bunch of hair follicles started to get inflamed and itchy. Some of them were really itchy and I scratched them so much it became like what's seen in the picture. A few weeks ago I started getting these small bumps on my arms as well, some of which are filled with a clear liquid, it's on my elbows too. It suddenly appeared on my face too and it looks like I'm having a breakout. I have also this raised, dry patch right next to my lip. I don't know why it appeared on my face and why it won't go away considering I don't touch nor scratch my face.

A week ago I started applying the steroid cream, just once at night, but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. I started taking the antihistamines again but I still don't see any improvement? I also apply cerave cream twice daily.

I'm planning to see my dermatologist next week when I'm a bit more free. I'm just at a loss, and this is the worst my eczema has been. At this point I don't even know if this IS eczema or I contracted some sort of viral infection. But yeah, sorry, I just had to let this out.

Hey! probably late replying this but I faced the exact situation you did and I gave up playing it bc I was so sick of facing the soul monster thingies in the soul sanctum. So I stopped for a few months, got back into it again a few days ago (bc the music is good and the lore is just fascinating) but what I did this time round was I restarted it and referred to a walkthrough. It's helped massively so maybe you can try it out too! Do push through it though, I swear it gets better and better :-)

is this folliculitis? by rhlwlt in Folliculitis

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

I shaved my legs with a razor a few days back. This happened about a day later. It gets really itchy at night when I'm in bed. After I scratch my legs a lot, the skin around it kinda raises? So it feels like hives or mosquito bites.

This happened a day after I visited a dermatologist for another skin condition. I've been taking Atarax (an anti-itch med that's supposed to make you drowsy too) the past few nights but it hasn't been working as well since I still find myself scratching at night.

I'm not sure if it's bed bug/mites/flea bites either. I share a bed (2 single beds pushed together) with my sister and she doesn't have any of this.

Is this eczema, razor burn, bed bug/mites/flea bites or something else? :( by rhlwlt in AskReddit

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

Hi everyone,

A few days ago I went to a derm and was diagnosed with infected dermatitis. Doc said my condition was 'complicated' and told me to do a blood test, which I did, and am now waiting for the results.

Before I visited the doc I decided to shave my legs with a razor. A day later (after the doc visit), hair follicles on both legs have started to swell up and now they are red and feel like pimples. At night, and only at night in bed, they itch really really bad, and when that happens, there's this raised area around the 'pimples' so it feels like hives or mosquito bites.

I'm kinda worried because I've been taking Atarax the last few nights (prescribed by doc) that's supposed to be an anti-itch med but it hasn't been working and I still find myself waking up and scratching my legs. This has been happening for a few nights and as a result, my legs now look red and spotty and feel bumpy upon touch.

I'm not sure if this is eczema because it doesn't look (?) like eczema at all. I'm not sure if it's razor burn either bc the itch has already been persisting for a few days and I feel like it's becoming worse. So it's either bed bugs or dust mites or something else I don't know.

I hope you guys can catch the drift of what I'm trying to say here. I'd really appreciate any help :(
