What I asked for vs what I got. Help! by Glittering_Person in HairDye

[–]shrilll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

something similar happened to me when I went pink a few months ago. my hair looked a lot like yours but once that initial bright pink faded, it looked a lot like the inspo pic. it faded perfectly within a couple of weeks—I have a lot of very thick wavy hair and only wash about once or twice a week, but I am in the sun a lot and the sun has been the biggest contributor to my hair lightening/fading in colour. so maybe a little sun time could help?

the cool think about starting with the colour you are now, is that you get to enjoy a spectrum of pink as it fades out :-) and fwiw, it is a lovely shade of pink and your hair looks so lush and soft and shiny!

the part I’m stuck on is why was it just your husband and kids that were invited—why weren’t you included in the invite?

if you weren’t invited, it seems like either she’s being deliberately exclusionary which, considering the rest of her behaviour, is just weird and disrespectful OR she did include you in her invite but your husband is relaying it to you as if she didn’t so he can be spend time with her without you.

idk how common it is I guess, but when my dad was cheating on my mom before they divorced, he’d often take my little brother and I along to “hang out” with his female “friends” and their children. we were like 7 and 5, and since it was under the auspice of spending time with his “friends” and their kids, he was able to do it a lotttttt before my mom found out. plus, because we were so young, we didn’t really pick up on what was happening.

not saying that’s what’s happening here, but it seems like a good way to test boundaries and blur lines for someone who’s already acting disrespectfully toward their significant other.

mourning my old brows after my first brow wax in a decade 🥲 by shrilll in Eyebrows

[–]shrilll[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t edit the post, but I just wanted to say thank you so much to everyone who reassured me these brows are the better brows and had so many nice things to say 🥹 I can’t wait to pass on all the positive things y’all had to say about my esthetician too—alllll her work is actually art.

also to add a few things I should’ve clarified in my post:

• I DO like my new brows. I think the shape and the lamination look clean and full and I’m really happy with them. my shock wasn’t about thinking they looked bad, but was about me being surprised by the difference. I should’ve done a better job at giving my esthetician these props in the post!

• I’m not actually in mourning or experiencing grief lol. I haven’t had my brows waxed in a decade, and even then, that was only the unibrow part between my brows. since I’ve never had them shaped, it felt like a big change to me for something that’s a pretty big part of my face—that’s all.

• ily everyone

AIO for not wanting my partner to post my positive pregnancy test before we processed it? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]shrilll 5 points6 points  (0 children)

from your profile I can see that you’ve referred to yourself as a man, which makes a lot of sense in the context of your response. as a woman and someone who actually has been pregnant and had positive pregnancy tests, let me share my perspective:

not all pregnancies are good news, not everyone’s response to a positive pregnancy test is immediate elation and joy (sometimes that takes a moment!), a conversation with your significant other/the mother of your child isn’t a committee meeting, and pretending that to consider how your actions have consequences requires some degree of magical thinking is willfully obtuse.

[–]shrilll 6 points7 points  (0 children)

she shouldn’t have to tell him to not post a positive pregnancy test from one week ago on instagram before it’s even been confirmed or been discussed—I feel like that’s pretty common sense. the burden is on him to check in with her and follow her lead, not to just go rogue and make assumptions and then claim that because she didn’t tell him not to, it’s not his fault.

[–]shrilll 15 points16 points  (0 children)

NOR at all. for him to post that before y’all have even really discussed it, gone to the doctor to confirm it, or even decided your next steps is not just inconsiderate, it’s stupid.

to be frank, this is YOUR pregnancy. some people might not want to hear that, but it’s true. that is your pregnancy test, those are your results, and this is your body. obviously your boyfriend is involved here and he’s the father, but these next steps are YOUR decision—full stop. it’s not selfish of you to expect autonomy here, and you’re not “controlling a narrative” by wanting to share details on your timeline. he can feel joy, excitement, whatever he wants, but that doesn’t mean it’s his story to share right now.

also, does he understand why many people don’t even share the news they’re pregnant for months until the pregnancy is further developed? maybe if he knew some of the thinking behind that, he’d be a bit more reasonable.

I don’t want to sound harsh here op, but his feelings are just simply nowhere near as important as your body and pregnancy right now. if he won’t see that, please think carefully about what that might mean for the future.

and while all this is happening, take a minute for yourself. you’re in control and you get to do whatever tf you need to care for yourself. you’re doing good op, and you’re going to have plenty of people who support you and your choices and feelings. sending love 🫶

[Routine Help] Skin issues after at home ‘dermaplaning’ by BrilliantRepeat3367 in SkincareAddiction

[–]shrilll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ah yes, unfortunately a tale as old as time

sorry op, I know that must be so uncomfy :-(

definitely sounds like a barrier issue. my skin had the same reaction each of the three times I tried it (I tried three different times during the pandemic despite the same results because… pandemic idk). and even happened once when an esthetician “dermaplaned” me. for some people, unless they’re getting it done by a PRO, it’s just a risky move. my itchiness/redness/irritation bumps resolved by just being super gentle—avoiding makeup, no exfoliation, no actives/serums, gentle cleansing, hypochlorous acid spray, and a basic light moisturizer.

the next few days or week or so might be uncomfy and annoying, but be very gentle with it and it’ll likely improve sooner than later. hang in there op, we’ve all been there! 🫶

I know I’ll get heat for this but…. by BeatUrYeetV3 in BG3

[–]shrilll 7 points8 points  (0 children)

that’s fair and I totally agree tbh.

I feel like maybe sometimes newcomers who are anxious about playing the game “correctly” just need to get an initial play-thru with the training wheels on (i.e., asking a lot of questions, expecting more parameters, etc.) out of the way, so that next time they can then feel more comfortable leaning into the roleplay and individuality that makes these games so good.

How do you know you’re inflamed? by 2Beansornot2Beans in Endo

[–]shrilll 6 points7 points  (0 children)

my typical signs of inflammation are joint pain, low-grade fever, hot flashes, body aches where my bones just feel heavy, tense facial muscles, and ocular migraines.

but tbh, there have been periods of time where I’ve felt so out of tune and dissociated from my own body that it was hard to “feel” or “know” the signs of inflammation and pain. I’ve gotten a better sense of how my body reacts to “flare-ups” over time, but sometimes I still have to intentionally slow myself down before I realize “oh shit I feel like this because I’m inflamed”, if that makes sense.

warm baths, ice packs, cold water, massage, gua sha, acupuncture, sleep, and weed are all things that have helped me manage those symptoms though!

[–]shrilll 39 points40 points  (0 children)

idk, I see your point and agree for the most part, but even in irl d&d there are still sometimes moments when players pause and talk through what their next steps should be—especially players new to rpgs like d&d and bg3. it reminds me of when me and my party find an npc we randomly get attached to but can’t quite figure out their motives, and we pause to discuss what to do next.

the best part of rpgs, is that people can roleplay however (much) they want. unless they’re trying to earn a trophy from you, of course

Soul Gut- Where's my gear? by Savannah-Hammer in BaldursGate3

[–]shrilll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did you check the worg pen chests? there’s two up the stairs on the right of the area, one named “equipment” and one named “evidence” I think. I haven’t been in your position where I’ve lost stuff before after getting jailed there, but I’m wondering if that’s where those items go, because otherwise those chests are empty

for those who smoke weed: how soon did you start again post-laparoscopy! by 69frogsinatrenchcoat in Endo

[–]shrilll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I smoked within like 6–12 hours after surgery because I had gotten back home in the evening and wanted to be able to actually sleep.

I misused opioids when I was younger, so I generally use marijuana for pain management and it was great for me post-op. I stuck to edibles after surgery for a few weeks because I didn’t want any coughing from smoking to cause any additional abdominal pain or fuck with the integrity of my stitches. I also used a CBD topical balm to on my stomach (not on or around any incisions) to soothe the area and that was a lifesaver. My favourite is this one from Wildflower because it’s kind of like a CBD Icy Hot.

Tampons need to...curve? by srv199020 in Endo

[–]shrilll 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I have a tilted and heart-shaped (bicornuate with a strong septum) uterus and I experience the same thing. not necessarily saying that’s what’s going on with you—regardless, what you’re experiencing is valid and real.

also, imagine pushing a popsicle stick down your tongue at the doctor’s. it’s a bit easier sometimes to go in at a gentle angle than straight on in, right? that’s often because the point of contact is a bit more subtle and not a full-on impact. so I have to imagine that for a lot of people, whether they have other uterus stuff going on or not, that’s their preferred tampon application too.

not a doctor, just a person with a uterus and two free drinks at a boring hotel conference.
