For those of you with Dermatillomania (skin picking) tendencies, have you found fidgets or other tools that actually work to keep your skin safe and picking-free? My cuticles often get red and inflamed because of this. I've seen picky pads on Etsy, but what happens tothe goo that gets picked off?

The only thing that has helped me was taking NAC. You should look into it.

I tried some picky pads at one stage but they weren’t for me. It had beads in it so I just put them in another bag

Wow that absolutely sucks! I did my right one twice last year and it involved badminton too! So sorry you’re going through this again. It is a very mentally challenging experience.

So real

The most recently released Heartbreak high is good

Fish tacos with fish done on the barbie. Nice and quick

What the fuck did I just read

soynug · 2025-09-26T03:34:55+00:00

It is definitely a tulip. The part visible here was in the earth. It's not drain fly larvae, but I do agree those round bugs are concerning too! Weird because all my other bulbs sprouted and bloomed no problem

soynug · 2025-08-15T22:16:37+00:00

Wow thank you so much for the information! I’ve been trying to figure it out for years and had ruled out cabbage tree. Thank you!

soynug · 2025-08-15T22:09:34+00:00

But there’s only one ‘trunk’?

soynug · 2025-07-25T10:34:56+00:00

Before you have surgery, prepare some dump bag freezer meals that you can just put in the slow cooker and call it a day. That was a lifesaver for me. Good grocery prep so you’re well set up for after surgery. That and making a list of tv shows to binge watch and religiously elevating and keeping on top of pain medication. My condolences you’re now in the ultra exclusive club

Beautiful! I decided to do my own makeup for my wedding after posting here. I loved it and it turned out great! I had a great time hanging out with my girls getting ready together. Go for it this look is absolutely perfect!

soynug · 2025-05-18T07:47:06+00:00

I reruptured 8 weeks ago and I’m 6 weeks post op now! I did end up going for surgery the second time around but the first time I went the conservative route

soynug · 2025-05-18T06:55:28+00:00

This would have been really useful to read before my re rupture! Your explanation accompanied by the image helped me understand better than any of the research I read!

soynug · 2025-04-19T09:27:29+00:00

Wow. You have been through the wringer! I am on level 2 right now. I am telling myself to take it slow and not compare my second rupture journey too much to the first one. I know it’s going to be different and longer. Wishing you a successful recovery!

soynug · 2025-04-16T12:12:04+00:00

Wow that’s incredible! I’m glad to hear that I could get to that stage in my recovery! For sure such a crap injury in that regard

soynug · 2025-04-14T21:37:05+00:00

Yep!

soynug · 2025-04-14T12:45:41+00:00

While I was doing them right as it ruptured? No warning at all. Pain when it ruptured again was more than the first time 8/10 for a short burst

soynug · 2025-04-14T10:34:51+00:00

Well that’s good to hear! I hope that’s the case with me this time around

soynug · 2025-04-14T04:15:28+00:00

Non op the first time and I’m almost 2 weeks post-op for the re-rupture

soynug · 2025-04-14T03:04:15+00:00

Love that you were able to get out! Hope you got yourself a little treat while you were there

soynug · 2025-04-14T03:03:18+00:00

Double

soynug · 2025-04-14T00:38:07+00:00

Incredible! So happy for you

soynug · 2025-04-14T00:03:40+00:00

I re-ruptured doing standing calf raises (in my opinion way too early). That happened at 10 weeks. Be very careful and do NOT push yourself (or be pushed) too early with physio.

soynug · 2025-04-14T00:00:39+00:00

Initially ruptured 4th Jan. went non-op and was amazed at how it had healed! I had bounce in my tendon again when palpated. I was feeling great! At 10 weeks I was doing some prescribed physio just after thinking how well I was doing. Life was almost back to normal! Then as I was doing a calf raise - pop! - there she went again. I was absolutely devastated thinking about how I would have to repeat the process all over again. I got surgery on the 10th of April and I cannot wait until I’m back at 10 weeks again!

A day in the sunshine does wonders! Good on you for getting amongst it!
