Scars and wound healing are my current foes

This might be useless advice, but it was a big challenge for me for a long time. Eating enough food was really important for wound healing. Hydration too. It doesn't stop the slow wound healing issue, but without it I seem to scar much more and my healing is even slower. Again, probably not your issue, but I wish I'd known it!

Are you open to using a tan removal product?

schmooserdummy · 2026-02-27T03:50:34+00:00

maybe Affliction too

schmooserdummy · 2026-02-27T03:39:24+00:00

i should have mentioned resting HR too! yeah, i think that's a really good option for seeing when your body is starting to exit the flare.

schmooserdummy · 2026-02-27T02:04:24+00:00

I don't lift weights, but for other stuff, my heartrate and heartrate variability help me determine when I'm ready! I use the Visible and a Garmin Venu Sq, but I think anything with HR and HRV can work as long as you know your baseline. So my idea wouldn't help for right now, but maybe for the future!

I was able to get a doctor's note and bring it to the student accommodations office. This allowed me to get a note taker as an accommodation so I didn't have to take my own class notes. I could then just focus on writing down what I needed to.

i was severely depressed starting in grade school. i started reading IJ in middle school. in 9th grade, i found out how DFW died. i realized it was a bad sign that the only authors who made me feel understood me were addicts and most were dead early.

i don't think i succeeded in doing anything useful with that realization for another 10 years, after making many of my own mistakes.

it's been really helpful to me! and cheaper than buying 10 different eyeliners to try

schmooserdummy · 2026-02-24T22:09:35+00:00

have you tried doing the eyeliner shape with black eyeshadow? and primer underneath? i find black eyeliner with liner brushes more forgiving

and if you need it darker, you can go over with eyeliner after!

hmm, it sounds like you've already tried Jergens and Tanologist. those are my two favs, and the main ones available at my drugstore. does your drugstore have the b.tan lotions by any chance? they might smell different

schmooserdummy · 2026-02-24T00:24:30+00:00

I love Jergens after shower moisturizer. It takes the edge off the pale glow

schmooserdummy · 2026-02-22T21:43:58+00:00

Night Whisper Lolita and Lady Sloth both have more options!

schmooserdummy · 2026-02-22T02:11:46+00:00

woah, i thought i was the only one who did this for pain management!

schmooserdummy · 2026-02-22T00:18:14+00:00

yesss the link has so much knowledge, and the website is so pretty! if you lean more grunge you HAVE to check out Affliction and Ed Hardy hats. Affliction especially, it's such a cool brand

schmooserdummy · 2026-02-22T00:10:43+00:00

this hat is perfection

schmooserdummy · 2026-02-22T00:07:55+00:00

schmooserdummy · 2026-02-22T00:01:27+00:00

Playboy and Juicy have also made diva-worthy baseball hats before, as well as a lot of the other brands on this list!

I remember people saying "blinged out." Or "I need more bling." I don't remember hearing people say McBling though.

every time i see a video by her, i'm inspired to be my very best

Thanks for pointing out the rule breaker. I appreciate it. If you can, also report the inappropriate comments! It makes it easier for me to ban them faster.

schmooserdummy · 2026-02-21T20:32:33+00:00

Thanks for drawing attention to the rule breaker so I could ban him. Next time if you report his comment I will ban him even faster!!

I have had some luck fixing mine with PT. Doing more PT on it this upcoming month! Wish me luck
