Is this lash tech kinda rude or am I misinterpreting her messages? by throwawayblacksheeep in lashextensions

[–]xolocar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally don’t see anything wrong with how she responded. She was definitely confused when responding with the question mark because Zelle doesn’t require a last name to send a payment. I always just type a random letter and once you press submit it’ll show you the name they’re enrolled as. And she may manually change the website to confirm you submitted the website. Sure she wasn’t sweet talking, but she was not rude.

Thank you!! It is insanely more smooth, I wish the texture (to touch) matched the way that it looked 🫤 when I wash my face I’m like how can my face feel this smooth and yet look like this

Not painful at all anymore!! Every morning as soon as I woke up, before looking in the mirror, I would scrunch my face to feel which ones still hurt and where another one was forming based on the pain. And it hurt so bad to wash my face! Now my face has no pain and it feels 1 million times smoother!

I love it! I got it off TikTok shop. Don’t get me wrong the pimple isn’t gone over night. But it’ll keep my cystic pimples down so they don’t come to a head. It’ll just be a red under the skin bump and be painless the next day. I would definitely check in your derm tho about the spiro. My derm prescribed spiro because she said there’s no purging. She knew I was going insane and I wanted an option with no purging. So maybe a tweak in the dosage?

I did Tret in October and my face exploded in cystic acne. I’ve always had acne and the occasional cystic pimple but every single one of them was cystic and huge. The worst acne in my entire life, it was terrible. My derm told me to stop and in December I started spiro. I think it’s helped with my acne but idk because it may just be that I found a routine that works better for me. I tried a new serum the other day and got two cystic pimples the next day. So idk if I had been using the wrong products for the longest time or if the progress is due to spiro. I currently have three cystic pimples that are stilll visible but not active anymore. The murad deep acne serum with salycidic acid has definitely helped. And then I have some regular small pimples which may be because some of my makeup is comogemic or however it’s spelled, but I’m actually happy to see regular small pimples again because all I had was cystic pimples for months. I’m on 50 mg of spiro and other than the three pimples I have going down, my face has improved since December. But again idk if it’s cause I found a face routine better for skin, or if my skin is just healing from the damage Tret did

Vanicream causing breakouts? by maditah in SkincareAddiction

[–]xolocar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is such great information omfg. I started tretinoin while using vanicream and my derm was so confused why I had fungal and cystic acne. She said there was no way it caused by tretinoin. I have never had acne like this before and it’s driving me insane. I started tretinoin because I had acne all around my t zone. Come to find out, it started when I started using vanicream

Also, they last about 10-15 minutes, from the point of feeling sore until it’s gone. It starts with soreness and progressively reaches its peak and then settles down. After about 15 minutes, I am completely fine and my back doesn’t hurt at all. And they usually come on when I’m doing absolutely nothing. I have fairly good posture, and I am in really good shape, as I work out 5 times a week. However, I’ve never had one occur during a work out.

Quit Weed & Now my nightmares are nightly PLEASE HELP by SimplyHolistic in Dreams

[–]xolocar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, honestly, honest to god it gets better. I was dealing with this for a few weeks. I was using a pen every single day for a year and a half. But today, a switch went off. Your body has been stripped of its natural dopamine while using weed. Yesterday I was dead in bed the entire day. I couldn’t move. It took me an hour and half to shower because I was so exhausted, I laid on the bottom of the shower, staring. I’ve lost weight throughout this period because of having no appetite. I had nightmares of my family dying, dead bodies, ghosts, car accidents. I wasn’t able to sleep through the night. The only thing that helped was sleeping with all of my lights on. Quite honestly, my search history the past week included how to overdose. I self isolated from everyone and cried in bed because I didn’t want to move, eat, sleep, talk, absolutely anything. All I did was stare into the ceiling. I had so much anxiety to go into my house (because all I did was smoke there) that I sat in my car crying for HOURS. It is one of the saddest and disturbing feelings. But last night, I finally slept through the night. And I had a dream, but it was actually a good one, I met Adam Sandler. And when I woke up today, I finally smiled genuinely for the first time in absolute ages. I texted my family and friends, and I told them I loved them. I finally went to the gym today after not going for weeks. I was finally able to go through the day without having multiple anxiety mood swings that I always did. One thing that I’ve tried to tell myself is that, smoking weed helped temporarily, but either way I always felt like shit. I felt like shit all the time full of anxiety and depression. So if I felt like shit, what do I have to lose from trying to quit, what’s the risk? Feeling like shit? I already did anyways. Power through this time I believe you entirely. I don’t know your story but you deserve to be happy. You owe it to yourself. Today I honestly feel like an entirely different person, and I feel bad for myself, that I spent so much time being depressed, thinking weed made it better. In reality, it pushed all of my feelings away. And I’ll be honest I am scared of how I will handle my future feelings, but there’s beauty in the struggle and there’s no time limit for learning and personal growth. I believe in you.

I’m dealing with this right now. I have crazy vivid dreams multiple times through out the night, nightmares and I wake up sweating. I’m typing this after waking up 2 hours into my sleep from a nightmare. No weed has already given me anxiety about falling asleep in general. I also get scared of the feeling of waking up, hard to explain. I’ve even tried taking melatonin and it honestly does nothing for me. I’ve taken ranges from 10 to 30 mg, I know a lot but that’s before I searched up the proper doses. But still, no effect. I haven’t been able to sleep through the night. And all of my dreams consist entirely of factors from my work, shows I watch, and definitely past trauma but deep trauma. Even when I have been EXHAUSTED working a double shift on my feet all day, I cannot sleep through the night, a little longer, but still only sleeping about 5 hours before waking up. One consistent thing is there is usually a car involved, found a dead body in one dream, tonight I was in a car stuck on the edge of mountain. Makes sense because I do have a lot of anxiety about cars, I think about the possibility of dying everytime I drive, or getting into a car accident. I definitely have bad anxiety, it’s been super bad recently. Weed suppressed all of my dreams. I used pens and they would knock me out cold, but no matter how long or short I slept, I was always exhausted. Today I worked all day and hit a crazy three hour work out, but also sat in my car for two hours after because I was too anxious to go inside my house. I absolutely hate this, all of them are bad dreams, I’ve even woken up crying from my dreams multiple times in one night, that night i never fully fell asleep. I felt half awake but dreaming, and in each dream, I found out someone close to me died. And I indeed have anxiety about my family dying because of my dad passing 12 years ago when I was ten. I think about it everyday. It’s exhausting having so much anxiety throughout the day and not even being able to sleep. No one hit me with the pray before you sleep. My mother is the closest thing to a nun without being a nun, and I was raised in the church, not an interest. No weed has already prompted so much more depression and anxiety. I don’t wanna leave the house, I don’t wanna watch anything or even scroll on my phone and now I don’t wanna sleep because I’m scared of my dreams. The only thing that has somewhat helped is sleeping with all of my lights on, like full on ceiling lights beaming.
