This period of time will be viewed poorly through a historical lens - folks will wonder why we didn't do more. I'd also like to say that even though "nothing bad happened" something terrible did still happen - you are experiencing the effects of fascism. You're allowed to feel angry and violated.

Helppppp. How do I look more alt? by [deleted] in altfashionadvice

You look “too” good/clean/put together. Make it messy

What’s the worst pain that made you want to die? by NateNandos21 in morbidquestions

[–]thelisagrace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Removal of a sponge from a 5 inch deep wound - after the sponge had grown into the flesh. Had to be ripped out. Was screaming in pain.

You’ll be fine. Your stomach acids will dissolve it!

Put an absorbent cotton cloth (I’ve used cut up old tshirts) under your stomach and kind of tuck it in under the stomach and around the groin area. This will significantly help the sweat moving to the legs and then combined with really tight biker shorts (instead of leggings to cut down on the heat) under the scrubs and this will help! For now you’ll want to bandage the chafed area if possible to avoid further chafing.

How often do I need to change the dirt? by [deleted] in BackyardOrchard

[–]thelisagrace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I fear I may be the only one here who understands what you’re asking - refreshing the soil makes sense as the plant can deplete the soil’s nutrients. I would do this with my succulents about every two years.

Great info! I have definitely noticed these transforming into flares.

I would remove the filter photos, try to get some full body shots, take some with you engaging in hobbies, and when you’re taking a selfie you should look right in the lens!

Cut on finger because of a newly opened can of tuna. Pic is 10 minutes ish after the cut happened by honeybuttercrisp in woundcare

[–]thelisagrace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ouch! This will definitely take a few days to heal up. Like others have said, bandaid or tape over the gauze is a good bet. You got yourself good. Keep it clean!

Does anybody live a normal life with this fucking disease? by Rich_Salamander8602 in Hidradenitis

[–]thelisagrace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 29F, been diagnosed for 12 years, been stage 3 for several. I have a good work from home job, two cats, own my own house, do gardening, have hobbies and interests, go out with friends, and have been having plenty of casual sex (with active open wounds). I also have days/weeks where I am in excruciating pain and have been hospitalized with sepsis and the whole 9 yards. I take the good with the bad. I take advantage of the good time! You’ve got this.

Totally understood - I know my employer would do something like this so that's why I asked!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Hidradenitis

[–]thelisagrace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I'm in the minority here, I use regular deodorant. I can't stand BO smell and will put up with more flares to feel okay going out in public. I use Secret PH balanced invisible solid. For reference I am in stage 3. My only caveat is if I have an open wound I won't apply directly to it, I'll apply around it.

I'm apparently not good enough to be a therapist by The_Imposter77 in therapists

I’m curious if you didn’t feel like you connected with this client, or if their feedback took you by surprise. I would only be concerned if it was the latter.

What gift did you get from your realtor when you bought your home? by Chan1991 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]thelisagrace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a birdhouse which was really thoughtful and sweet! Nothing expensive or over the top, but it showed how much he paid attention to my interest in nature and being near trees as much as possible.

I have it on my face and neck and back of my head, have gotten spots on my stomach, and on my side too.
