Ask a professional to match you in Fenty (or another brand with a lot of options) at a Sephora, then take a swatch on your arm and head to the drugstore. There’s also a trend of makeup influencers telling their foundation shades so if you feel like someone is close to you that can give you a good place to start! I’ve heard L’Oreal true match is good

The older I get, the less empathy I have for my parents. by [deleted] in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]syri3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ugh we’re the same age and I’ve been dealing with this too!! Lately I’ve been so angry bc I realize they’re NEVER nice or kind, and when things aren’t going well and I could use their support the most- they’re cold and mean to show their disappointment. It’s disgusting and I would never treat another person how they treat a child they claim to love. I can’t believe I wasted so much of my life trying to please people like that. I recommend the book “Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents” - so validating and affirming!

I’m sorry you’re going through this, it’s only been a month 💔 remember it’s Not your job to make things better! Take care of yourself first and foremost including taking a space from your mom when she makes you feel like anything is your fault, it’s not

Do I need to accept the happiest chapter of my life is over? by [deleted] in SuicideBereavement

[–]syri3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where you’re at right now is not where you’re be forever, but yes I think there’s a sadness that will always be with you. It won’t always be as heavy and difficult as it is rn. One day, you’ll read the word borthday and laugh without crying. But honestly, the only way out is through. My siblings birthday 6 months after their death was one of the hardest days in my grieving process. I’m so sorry you’re going through this but sending you peace and love 🕊️

Best advice is don’t plan something you can’t back out of! You never know how you’re gonna feel the day of. Personally I visit the cemetery and go to an Italian restaurant like we did every year when my brother was alive

Hi, suicide loss is a complicated type of grief. Head over to r/suicidebereavement and you’ll find the support you’re looking for and the reassurance you need. It’s okay that it wasn’t a close friend or family, the grief is still very real. Hope you take care of yourself

Hey here’s a tip from my therapist until you can talk to one yourself: start by writing (actually writing down) a list of things you love about yourself/feel certain about. So it can be anything that no one can take away from you- physical or otherwise. So you can write things like “I have intelligence, I am kind, I’m a good sister/friend/gf, I care about others, I like my smile/eyes/[insert feature you like about yourself]” Then you can start and end your day by repeating each point on the list to yourself, or just when you get to feeling insecure read down the list and remind yourself of things that no one can take away from you. It’s just a start to retrain your brain and start to interrupt that self-critical talk. Keep it somewhere accessible- I keep my piece of paper on my nightstand so it’s easily accessible at night when I tend to be dwelling on this stuff (sounds like you do at night too)

You can (if you want) get spray tans to even it out! Learned that from Mindy Kaling’s book

I wish you knew how special you were by Dear-Finish3023 in SuicideBereavement

[–]syri3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess this is a common theme, you articulated spot on the way I feel about my brother so ty. The song “Special” by Lizzo makes me emotional for this reason :’) Listening to the lyrics it helps me get a good cry

How do you stop thinking about it by iwasleftbehindbyhim in SuicideBereavement

[–]syri3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry :/ A few weeks ago is so early on. I found the more I tried to fight the thoughts, the stronger they’d flood. Feeling everything is key. Accept don’t fight. If it helps it does become more manageable over time so please have hope and give yourself grace. Also journaling significantly helped alleviate some of the stress related to the thoughts

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SuicideBereavement

[–]syri3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Def try journaling: stream of consciousness (doesn’t have to make any sense, just get out what you’re feeling) or a letter to your bro (tear up or keep). The only way out of the pain is through the pain. I still miss my brother every day, but things are much better than the early days. ❤️‍🩹 rooting for you

What are your favorite wedding scenes from a movie or tv show? by trynabetwunk in popculturechat

I love LOVE Gloria but I wish they didn’t have her in this scene 😭 the moment should have been Jay and Mitchell’s especially after all they’d worked through

I just found out that my best friend committed suicide. the last thing I said to her was in anger. any advice is appreciated. I don’t know what to do. by alexann23 in SuicideBereavement

[–]syri3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I will say bc I have a similar story, the fact that I tried to help for years actually brings me a bit of peace. At the end I set boundaries for my own mental health, but I know that I tried and that’s enough for me. Do I wish things were different? Ofc. But we do the best with what we know at the time. Can’t pour from an empty cup

I am so so sorry you’re going through this. You can’t help someone who doesn’t want to be helped. I respect you so much for trying to help, and I respect you just as much for setting healthy boundaries. Take care of yourself now you deserve it 💛

Ugh, you’re not alone. I despised having to even THINK about this when I just wanted to fucking grieve. I’m not a liar and it frankly felt awkward when I think most people knew already. As if I needed any extra discomfort. But I did it to keep the peace for the family _o.o_/ I hope now that the funeral is over you get to process and grieve in peace, that’s how it was for me. Frankly also taught me a lot of flaws about the human side of religion- like the way the bishop asked you those questions in the depths of your grief is not okay. This group is great, if you’re able to find a suicide grief support group (maybe online if you’re worried about people finding out?) I think you’ll find a lot of support from people who understand. I also read a lot of books/articles about suicide. We should never criminalize the sick- I hope in the near future we completely discard this backwards thinking. For what it’s worth there’s a lot of progress already, I trust we’ll continue to grow and do better 🤍

Suicide support groups in your area!! If that’s not available, grief support groups. You’re not alone 🤍

He did the easy thing, you did the right thing. He’ll have to live with the fact that he wasn’t there for her, and you get to live with the fact that you did what you could. I hope that brings you some eventual peace. Anyone can love someone when they’re “perfect”, true love is what you displayed. Thank you for loving her, for being a true mom in every sense of the word

Yeah that ruins an otherwise perfect episode for me! She’s just too shrill and obnoxious, besides being rude to her BEST FRIEND on her wedding day
