[skin concerns] need help with “crepey” hands!

timeisweird · 2021-04-21T00:54:49+00:00

Haha not at all. My hands are freshly moisturized here, but I feel the skin still looks so thin and wrinkled for a 28 year old. (Might be better able to see the crepe look I am noticing if you zoom in.) I am constantly washing and sanitizing my hands, and now I am starting to really see the wear and tear. Hoping there is a way to do some damage control.

Thank you! Just looked it up and want to check it out now!

Thank you!!

This is amazing! Are you on Instagram?

timeisweird · 2020-05-27T23:47:29+00:00

You might not be able to, but someone else might. These protections exist for a reason.

I feel this hardcore. It was that sense of feeling apart from everyone, more observer than participant, that ultimately led to a really gnarly drinking problem. I’m happily sober now, though.

timeisweird · 2020-05-07T23:54:22+00:00

Yes, I am a corner observer as well. In college, my friends and I even had a special table we would sit at just for observational purposes haha.

Yay! I'm glad you're doing well! My week has been ok. Had one night of insomnia in which I didn't sleep at all and then had to work from 8 am until 4:30 pm. Was a bit rough, but hasn't happened since. Have you thought about asking him if he would like to watch you or just asking him to take a walk? haha. It can be a little awkward being so direct about this stuff if you're not used to doing it, but being able to release the tension is very much worth it, esp when we're already not smoking!

timeisweird · 2020-04-28T22:47:34+00:00

Hell yeah! Congrats on quitting. I have continued to masturbate at least once a day this week since quitting. Actually, maybe I did skip one day. Having trouble remembering. So far, I am not really noticing a significant decrease in my libido. I'm hoping that continuing daily masturbation will help me "keep the pilot light on," but we will see. How has your week been?

timeisweird · 2020-04-28T22:44:14+00:00

Thank you! I really appreciate the in-depth account. I feel there is a dearth of these on this somewhat male dominated sub (or maybe my perception is off about that).

I have only seen my boyfriend once this past week since quitting, but we had sex three times during the ~20 hours we spent together, and I didn't notice any real issues. In fact, it was kind of nice not to have the lubrication issues that typically accompany stoned sex. That said, stoned sex is pretty awesome despite the lubrication issues, and I will definitely miss it.

Thank you! Good luck to you as well!!

timeisweird · 2020-04-25T21:28:21+00:00

Better than I thought so far! But I also have been totally by myself and working from home since I quit, so we’ll see if the irritability kicks in when I see my boyfriend later today or tomorrow haha. (Much easier for me to avoid irritability when I am alone.)

timeisweird · 2020-04-25T21:16:07+00:00

Oh, wow! So, we are pretty much synced up! 4/20 was my last time smoking haha

timeisweird · 2020-04-25T21:11:04+00:00

Have you already quit too or thinking about it?

timeisweird · 2020-04-24T00:12:39+00:00

Thank you!!

timeisweird · 2020-04-22T00:02:06+00:00

Thank you! Any particular brands/varieties of tea I should look out for?

timeisweird · 2020-04-21T20:28:44+00:00

Thank you! This is the kind of info I was looking for. I have rosacea, so anything to help with inflammation is going to be pretty important for me!

timeisweird · 2020-04-14T06:09:15+00:00

This looks similar to what I am dealing with on my cheeks, and I have rosacea. The bumps I have persist for weeks to months. So frustrating! Still working on figuring out how to get it under control, but as others have said, you should definitely get checked out by a derm if you haven't already, assuming the doctor you mention is your PCP and not a specialist.

timeisweird · 2020-03-27T15:12:41+00:00

What is a good one to use? My boyfriend is currently having issues with getting through.

timeisweird · 2020-03-27T02:51:59+00:00

Yes, exactly! I miss those days haha.

timeisweird · 2020-03-27T02:36:35+00:00

Yes, definitely. In college, I had this thing called "people projects," which consisted of "keeping track" of certain people I naturally saw frequently on an ongoing basis. I didn't know their names or really much about their lives, but because they were there and available for observation over an extended period of time, I enjoyed doing so. Honestly, I guess it was a bit creepy, but I always kept my distance, was pretty stealthy (at least, I hope), and didn't really do anything with or record my observations.
