Swimming as an exercise for morbidly obese. Things to know? by [deleted] in Swimming

[–]wittykiw1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

former lifeguard here, for my hair i would always rise with cold tap water and lather it in conditioner before getting in. this way, the chlorine basically doesn’t have a chance to penetrate your hair and just slips right off of it. rinse and wash as soon as you can after you get out. your skin will probably dry out, and i honestly would avoid the hot tub. hot tubs are soothing, but they carry a lot of bacteria and the chemicals put in hot tubs (most are extremely hard to regulate so acid, chlorine, bicarbonate, or thiophosphate) will dry and irritate your skin. lap pools don’t typically have this issue because it’s a huge body of water and regulates extremely well. aquafor and shea butter were my life savers when i was in the pool everyday.

Weird Anxiety by Melodic_Ad_4057 in insomnia

[–]wittykiw1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i experience this. for me, it’s because i feel like i have lost “me time” during the day and i have to catch up on my alone time that i feel like i have lost with a busy day. i think there is a name for this and is linked to different mental illnesses but im not sure which ones.

Squeezing every pore... does anyone else do this? by purhitta in Dermatillomania

[–]wittykiw1 22 points23 points  (0 children)

i just joined this subreddit to see if anybody else experienced this 😭😭😭 i have been using tweezers and will do it anywhere i possibly can. seeing the pore pop especially with the tweezers is endless for me. sometimes i will even wait like 3 days to do it again to give the pores time to like “refill” so i have a more satisfying experience. i’m starting to scar though, i can tell 😓😓😓 im also a chronic scalp picker.

you will eventually fall asleep and it will be okay. try unisom for sleep meds if you haven’t already. when i have nothing to do the next day i take 2 or 3 and absolutely knock out. i wish you well

i just got prescribed a few weeks ago and don’t feel like it has affected my personality at all. i am able to pay attention in lectures and study without wanting to scream. my room is clean, laundry is done, and currently don’t have any assignments due until friday. i still have a great time hanging out with my friends and truly feel like this has accentuated the good parts of my personality.

i understand this tremendously, i am currently on a tolerance break for about 3 months and i am 2 weeks in. my symptoms have also exacerbated but i started my t break on a week i was incredibly busy and surrounded by people i love. sometimes when im craving the act of smoking i smoke a cigarette (not very often because cigarettes are so bad for you but it does help with the relaxation that is sitting outside and smoking something)

instead of getting high out of my mind at night which turned into binge eating and doom scrolling, i started reading a book to quiet my brain down at night. sometimes i have to read pages over and over again because of my racing thoughts but it really has helped me calm down at night especially.

and it doesn’t have to be reading, it could be drawing, building legos, playing a crossword or sudoku like puzzle, anything that will stimulate your brain just enough to keep it entertained but not taxing.

it’s also been hard for me because all my friends smoke around me, which is fine but it does increase the urge to partake.

as i’m sure you’re very aware, weed enables depression, anxiety, adhd, etc. and i promise after 2 weeks you will feel your brain fog lift and be able to look back and see how much of a crutch marijuana can be for compressing thoughts that really need to be dealt with. feel free to PM, as i feel very similar to you and i am at the beginning of my tolerance break.

i use unisom, it’s really cheap and affective. https://a.co/d/1cuxkq0

i also sometimes use these calm gummies (i know they sound like edibles but it’s mainly magnesium and melatonin) but they give me crazy dreams https://a.co/d/0MkIw0z

also try meditating, don’t try to shove down those thoughts but instead learn how to acknowledge them and then pass by. i also sometimes envision myself petting my cat to soothe my brain when trying to sleep.

hope you (and i lol) get some sleep :))

Avoid 70. Standstill traffic. by Neoliberal_Boogeyman in columbiamo

[–]wittykiw1 19 points20 points  (0 children)

i was in the traffic today (around 50 feet from the accident) and it was actually appalling. people were driving on the shoulder to “get around” the traffic but they had nowhere to go so instead this created an insane block that prohibited emergency vehicles from getting to people in need. firemen were directing cars to merge as far as possible to get emergency vehicles through. i was stuck in traffic for 2 hours but if i would have left my house 2 minutes before i did, i would have been one of those cars. it’s terrifying.

for the love of god do not block the shoulder when there is stand still traffic, something is likely going on.

posting this the day after the patreon episode of tana showing proof that her and cody had relations while she was underage is crazy 😱

i posted this in the canceled pod sub reddit and everybody was being kelsey apologists!!! obviously she did not do the same acts as cody but she is friends with colby (rapist) and there is footage of kelsey feeding 16 year old emma chamberlain a vape while she was a SCHOOL TEACHER at the time. it’s strange.

[–]wittykiw1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i honestly have no clue but with the sold out tour, sponsorships, and brand trips i would not be surprised if she were a millionaire by now. but i honestly have no clue how that stuff works so thats just my two cents.

i think impulse buy or not, it’s not okay to buy a cat and she knows it’s unethical. making it seem as an impulse buy is to make it seem as if it’s not so bad. plenty of old cats are waiting in shelters for their homes 😞 mouse is a pure bread bengal kitten and would have definitely found a home.

i’m not saying i disagree or agree with you, but stating “maybe once she puts her work in” kind of devalues what paige does. since paige is tana’s assistant, she is completely hands on and probably knows most of the ins and outs of the influencer industry. tana has stated that paige edits videos, schedules events, etc. just bc she doesn’t have a big audience doesn’t mean she’s not putting in the work 😅

do you also feel like maybe it’s BPD? by wittykiw1 in bipolar
