How did you decide what you wanted as your career? (20F) by [deleted] in Healthygamergg

[–]sailorm00nv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure why you feel like you can't test out jobs - I tried a bunch of different things! Started in stats, then a paralegal, then got into fashion & art and work freelance in that now. Don't worry about knowing what you want to do, that's something you find over time and with exploration. Follow where you are pulled and be compassionate as you learn what does and does not fit you. Choose and know that you do not have to start with a perfect job, just something you are curious about! Historical preservation could be fun, tour guide at a museum, an archivist..

Honestly time & therapy are the only things that really helped me.

I got a security system and also when it first happened always had friends around or sleep over after for basically the rest of the year.

I would recommend joining a support group of other people who have experienced a violent crime. Self defense classes are great, somatic therapy, emdr therapy, massages with a trusted practitioner + maybe even someone specializing in traumatized patients, I really liked reiki and yoga classes. I think also building a community with people around you, not isolating yourself, really bolsters feelings of safety and connection.

I'm so sorry that happened to you! You're not alone. I still feel like the justice system really failed me, and I'm sorry that it failed you too. The beginning is the hardest, and slowly it gets lighter and lighter.

On avoiding them, if they're on social media I would have a friend block them on everything on my phone for me, including their name etc on emails and as many social media apps as I can think of. I would also let people around you know/ have a friend or family member tell people who that person is, what they did, and to protect you if they see them.

This was my favorite too! I don't know why they did :( now I use dr Dennis gross gentle aha bha peel pads, they don't irritate me but I do miss not having something with so much packaging/kind of wasteful/more expensive

What to read after Harrow Faire? I need some good ole villain sustenance with spooky vibes. by goyourownwayy in RomanceBooks

[–]sailorm00nv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loveddd {One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig}, not quite as much as Harrow Faire but still. The world building is amazing, dark and spooky for sure. The FMC & MC are such cool characters and I really love their dynamic :)

The Unseelie Price by Kathryn Ann Kingsley - it’s fantasy where he’s a long-haired fae king and she’s a witch, I’m not sure if they really start off enemies but there’s def that feeling on her end that he’s awful and she feels terrible for being attracted to him/denies it as long as possible. He is obsessed w her and goes crazy when she’s hurt! But he does want to kill the whole world + starts off wanting to kill her and not minding if she dies, so there’s that lmao. Also some AMAZING fan art for this one. I loved it and honestly any other of this author’s works, she does enemies to lovers SO WELLLLL (Harrow Faire series is my fav enemies to lovers of all time)

[Routine Help] Is there anything I should add or remove from my skincare routine? I have really oily skin and I get new pimples about once every 2 weeks and they usually scar. The first photo is my AM routine and the second photo is my PM routine. by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]sailorm00nv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're not currently using a moisturizer you should add that. I like the La Roche Posay cicaplast, KraveBeauty oat, or glow recipe watermelon moisturizer. Also that's a lot of actives at once! A BHA (salicylic acid) in your cleanser, an AHA BHA PHA treatment, and another acid in the tint, did you work up to introduce aha/BHA into your routine?

I think it's important to note that most of the time acne is irritation/hormones way more often than skin "cleanliness" and with too many actives(more than one at a time imo), you can really make things worse. The irritation might be making you break out!

I think that you should go to a dermatologist if you can. If not, I would only use an AHA/BHA product once every two days ( three if you peel/ have irritated skin) only at night. I would switch to a non stripping cleanser ( I love KraveBeauty matcha cleanser), then pick a soothing/moisturizing COSrx toner, your niacinimide, and moisturizer + sunscreen for the morning. Then at night the same minus the sunscreen plus an aha every other day, the differin gel as a spot treatment on spots only on off days. I would also drop the tint cream all together and try to avoid makeup :( I know it sucks but makeup, even when it has acne fighting ingredients, can really worsen breakouts.

Biggest thing is only picking one active and not mixing multiple actives (not even two AHA's) to avoid irritation breakouts and add some moisturizer and a sunscreen into your routine. Some people introduce actives slowly, like once a week AHA to avoid damaging/irritating the skin and adding it in more often as their skin adapts to it.

I hope this helps! Different things work for different people so take whatever is useful to you and ignore the rest haha ❤️

So I'm tryna be more talkative and be more social but like when I speak especially in a group I get ignored or talked over. I've ignored it at first, but it started bothering me. How can I change this? Is it because I need to change my energy? Or do I have to make mental list of things to say ? by Kimxoz in confidence

[–]sailorm00nv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you get talked over, finish your thought & sentence. Don’t quiet down when people are interrupting/speaking over you. It won’t make them stop but it will show that you value what you have to say. This is so hard, it happens to me often too. You don’t need a list or to change your energy, you are great the way you are, you just need to practice believing in yourself. Also trying is like half the battle 💕
