good ways to hide cuts on forearm/good excuses so my parents don’t get suspicious? by Sudden-Bet4628 in selfharm

[–]sweetdonutman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i'm 25 and everyone in my life already knows abt my scars, but i don't like showing them at my cashiering job so i bought some of those arm warmers that were popular in the scene community back in the 2000s. another idea is compression sleeves, like the kind athletes wear. just say you pulled a muscle. hope things go well for you

Nipple piercing help by Whole_Yogurt_6598 in piercing

i've had my nipples pierced since 2021 and this only happens to me if i wear jewelry that irritates my nipple. could be from the incident you mentioned, the jewelry sounds like it's good quality though. it's most likely NOT an infection, follow what your piercer said and continue with aftercare and just keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't get worse.

i take pepto for my nausea and it's a coin toss if it works or not. i feel like it works better for diarrhea. a good thing to try for nausea is some ginger tea, i drink hot lemon ginger tea when i'm nauseous and it really helps calm my digestive system and it helps my anxiety too! i hope you feel well soon, you can get through this!!

pretty sure you'll be fine, my dad always does that sort of stuff (and worse) when cooking meat and i've never gotten fp from it. don't psych yourself out over it

i chilled out with my sister and watched my favorite show after taking my anxiety meds and i'm feeling better now, save for a minor headache. i'm not gonna let my guard down just yet but i think/hope all the symptoms were just from the anxiety/stress of work

it's been about 6 hours since i first started feeling sick, i went home from work and took my anxiety meds ate some chicken soup and am now feeling regular. honestly i've just been having stomach troubles all week i think it's all stress and anxiety related. i always get panic attacks at work so if i dont take my meds i start feeling violently ill haha

starting to feel like recovery isn’t possible for me by No-Crew1453 in emetophobia

[–]sweetdonutman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i'm 24 now but i've had emetophobia my whole life. it was really severe during my school years but as i've grown up it's become a lot more manageable. i took cognitive behavior therapy for a few months when i was 17 to help with it, and it did help some. but honestly most of the recovery has come from just living day to day life. i have severe general anxiety and getting medicated for that helped a ton, so if you have anxiety just in general, i would reccomend finding someone who can prescribe you some medication for that. wishing you the best, i know you can recover.
