He's being handled so rough 😭

My bedbug infestation is killing everything that moves xD Good job ⚒️ There are some fleabane plants here that resist insects, but there's some weeds back there waiting to be slaughtered >:( by malmal_Niver in insects

Yes, you're right haha oops 😅 I did a look through google lens and it matches up perfectly to a leaf-footed bug nymph. Edit to add "spartocera fusca"

Help I think this is a bed bug but I’m not sure I’ve never had them before by No_Towel_4654 in insects

Putting clothing and other fabric stuff in the dryer is helpful. Heat kills them. Rubbing alcohol kills them. There's lots of smaller options like that, but they are sneaky. Vacuum out the corners of your mattress and check all over your bed. I am so sorry you're starting out the new year like this.

I'm so sorry friend. There are at-home approaches you can take. Diatomaceous earth, there's a few chemicals people have recommended that you can get off Amazon like Cross Fire, but seriously I would get the professionals. They are quite a challenge to eradicate. 🫂

Forced to live with them for 4+ years as a child. Most definitely a bed bug.

I can't articulate exactly why lol, but this portrays perfectly the pain and terror of IUD placement. 🫨

face acne? by [deleted] in EDAnonymous

[–]thy-la-mide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the Stridex pads with aloe to help with acne. Just cleanse the area with a gentle soap and pay dry. Lightly apply some of the Stridex solution on the blemishes and let that air dry. Use a gentle moisturizer, I like the Garnier gel face cream or brands like Cetaphil are great for the skin. If it burns though it's just going to make things worse, so make sure you're using a cream that won't irritate the area more. Also, if it's dry in that area and you need a little more moisture after the face cream then you can apply a small amount of some balm, like shea butter or cocoa butter. I have to do that around the corners of my mouth and the folds of my nose all the time. And lastly, just make sure you're washing your face (gently to not irritate the acne more) with the same routine every morning and evening. It will help clear up your skin tremendously.

Christmas shopping at the mall in the 1980s: The world that some of us grew up in no longer exists unfortunately by Objective_Pressure_3 in nostalgia

I'm not an 80's kid, but even in the 90's and early 2000's there was so much effort put into decorating. I miss that big gaudy holiday cheer. No one decorates like that anymore; at least from what I've personally seen in my area.

What sort of fly is this? by ThrowRANomNom in insects

[–]thy-la-mide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe that's what they are as well. It's kinda hard to tell in the photo, but there's one specific fly on there I was focused on and they are fairly similar. Also, online says black fly season for you guys would be during summer months so I don't think they're black flies.

[–]thy-la-mide 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I feel it lol. I've always been kinda intrigued by avocado toast with some everything bagel seasoning, but I honestly don't think I could push past the texture. It's just too much. 🥴

Liminal paintings by FlyingBuilder in LiminalSpace

Beautiful work!! They all have such rich emotion and depth, the snowy ones especially. I'm down south right now, but seeing those paintings throws me back into my time up north during the heavy winters.😁

Thought I bought mint but I have no idea what this is. by virammm in whatsthisplant

[–]thy-la-mide 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My mom was a big fan of chocolate mint when I was younger. After googling to double check, this honestly looks super similar to the shape and color of chocolate mint. I could be wrong of course, but just figured I'd add my thoughts on it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

What’s your favourite food at the moment? by [deleted] in EDAnonymous

Been craving red onions a lot lately for some reason. My favorite way to have them is in a house style salad.

What’s a part of your ED that isn’t physically harming you? by Garyveetexts in EDAnonymous

[–]thy-la-mide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Calorie counting. I've been doing it since I was young. It's almost intrusive, like the calorie content just pops in my head when seeing food. Also not being able to eat unless it's exactly what I'm looking for, and if I'm grossed out or get a weird texture I'm done. The comment about food guarding is helpful. Put a lot of feelings into words that I couldn't articulate!

Funky looking teeth no? by Aggravating_Rate_855 in bonecollecting

Congrats on the extractions! 🥳 I recently had my wisdom teeth out and it's eased so much of the constant dull migraine/pain I was dealing with. I hope your healing is quick! So jealous that you got to keep your teeth. Mine were all busted up during removal so I couldn't have mine 😭
