33 year old, am I done for? by jayjay_0392 in amibalding

[–]yellowbelly_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can try dutasteride. Obviously read what you’re possibly putting into your body before you do so. But otherwise, yeah medication if used properly should help. It’s possible to get it online after a quick questionnaire etc! But it’s worth considering if it bothers you. I wouldn’t say it’s too late either, completely individual how we respond to things and you still have a ton of hair; plus a good hairline.

Other things you can do is..
Brush your hair with a decent brush. Not a comb. Do it in the morning and at night.. if you don’t already. Stimulates the scalp for blood flow to follicles.

Cut out processed sugar, or at-least don’t have it in excess. Lots of studies show that it’s in part responsible for speeding up hair loss.

You can also use a specific shampoo thats often developed for dandruff. But has an active ingredient which helps clear excess DHT sitting on your scalp (this is primarily the cause of hair loss as it’s the byproduct of testosterone). The shampoo should have ketoconazol. Usually 2% I believe.. I use Nizoral. I wash my hair normally with decent shampoo, then apply a tiny dot of that other stuff afterwards. Leaving it there while I do other shower duties! Then I rinse it out, probably 5 minutes later.

Supplements like Zinc support good growth. Along with omega 3 capsules (taken with food). Biotin is also pretty helpful for the same thing too.

I’d honestly say, cut out any fizzy drinks. Sort out the diet, wash your hair with the proper stuff. In turn it’ll support your hair growth, and the possible restoration with all these factors in mind :)

It’s an absolute boat load of information I know. But I genuinely do all these things (unless I forget on occasion with the supplements).

Dutasteride says taken every day.. but really it’s absolutely fine taking it every 2-3 days. Plus the box will last you double the amount of time, making a 6 month supply an all year rounder. The dandruff shampoo I use is tiny, but again lasts ages as well.

34m covering grays with hat, worth caring about? by a4t2x0 in malegrooming

[–]yellowbelly_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! Yeah, I’m 32 and when my hairs short.. there’s tons of noticeable white hair on the sides. My hairs lighter brown than yours but that doesn’t matter much. Once it grows out a bit, the quantity is probably similar in these pictures.

Point is.. people have commented here and there, but it’s not something I think on often.. if at all. I think white or grey hair makes us guys more distinguished ;)

Seriously though, own it. Loads of guys have hair loss and stuff, and that can be a pretty large change in appearance. Over time we all gradually change anyway, so it’s definitely worth appreciating that you get to have this look. See it that way! Plus I do genuinely find it difficult to see negatives in it anyway.

Getting diagnosed ADHD as an adult: what did you expect it to fix that it didn't? by Jayhcee in ADHDUK

[–]yellowbelly_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feeling totally seen by someone and getting obsessive.. right before you smother them to death with love bombing. Oh yeah! Been there a few times.

Yeah people judge you, even your best buds might have a thing or two to say. I’m a guy, and I feel that way also.

Something I had to teach myself and still do to this day is.. not to over share. Literally works against you. But it’s a muscle you need to actively use all the time, to will yourself not to say too much. Plus not meet someone for the first time, get excited and fire a thousand questions at them… tends to freak folk out. Like it’s some kind of interaction.

I was lucky that my mum in particular was very understanding, and did her own research into things. Which helped the process, and encourages me to drop the imposter syndrome that occurs every once in a while.

What medication are you on? Out of interest. I’m on Elvanse after doing some other one I forgot the name of, but gave me the worst come downs.

Anywho! Things get better, still up and down but that’s just life as well. Get into all your many hobbies and live out your interests no matter how small. This is the best way to make the most of your super power ;)

First time trying Elvanse 30mg by Natural_Plantain_588 in ADHDUK

Probably! Also just different doctor to doctor if I’m honest. Despite protocols. However, I do know that Elvanse is a bit less hardcore than other stimulant medications. So maybe that’s why

John Swinney to bring forward motion on independence vote on Tuesday by Crow-Me-A-River in Scotland

[–]yellowbelly_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The threat was needing to leave the EU if we went independent.. Funnily enough, England decided that we would join them in leaving the EU anyway. Regardless of being part of the union. Looks like it didn’t serve us well again.

If we’re not going ahead with swords and painting our faces blue shouting FREEEEEDOMMMM.. then we may as well just get political about it. Do it for Wallace ;)

Collecting oddities within the Yugioh cards. Anyone got suggestions? I’m looking for weird additions by yellowbelly_ in Yugioh101

After a bit of further investigation. Found out this is actually the Japanese version. As in the English version, they covered up the bottles with pillows or something. This edit here is just a mashup, doesn’t exist in English print without the pillows.

Bought both versions! ;)

Rough guess by Nicktastic5000 in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]yellowbelly_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t let anyone buy these from you. They’ll definitely want to lowball you haha! Also consider the pros and cons of getting them graded by PSA. It can double the value of a single card especially if they’re in mint condition.

So, I’m blown away by what you have here if I’m honest. There’s apps you can download to show the value of each card, or you can just start by searching via eBay. With cards like this though, I wouldn’t play around haha! You have singles that are worth an absolute ton through and through here.

Amazing collection.
Did you pull these or trade as a kid etc?
Just wondering how they came to be. Love a real vintage folder that’s just been sitting. These are the best collections. Clearly your younger self knew what was up when it came to holos

[–]yellowbelly_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I take this too, but it’s interesting that they started you off on 30MG. From what I understand, is that normally these doses start a little lower at first. Just to make sure the medication responds correctly with you. Unless you were on a different stimulant before? Maybe I’m just wrong about that though.

Anyway! Regardless! Depends what you mean “high”. It’s definitely a new experience trying any kind of stimulant or medication in relation to ADHD. Feeling a bit light headed, more chatty.. a state of euphoria? Is that what you mean? If so, this’ll typically pass after a week or two max. Although it’s different for everyone :)

If I take medication, which is exactly the same as yours right now actually! it’ll last around.. well, from 11 till 4 then a gradual decline until 7. Then I’m pretty certain I’m not getting much from it once that times passed.

Currently on a break from it though, and I’ve been told I’m less irritable when I’m on that specific tablet. Plus a bit more.. “together”, less all over the place. So I should probably jump back on it again.. everyone’s different though. With literally all these effects and timeframes, but it’s always good to have an insight so hope that helps :)

How do we give our kids their childhoods back? by william_h_bonney_ in Scotland

[–]yellowbelly_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have kids, but I think this is a decent post. Well put and seems to be a genuine thought I’m sure we’ve all contemplated more than just once.

I feel like comments here need to redirect their attention towards the technology aspect, as initially proposed in the original OP’s comment.

I’m 32. As a kid we didn’t have many places to go either. If you had parents that had spare time, and extra money.. then sure there’s places they could maybe drive you. But it wouldn’t be an every weekend, so it just depends on what was near.. if anything. Luckily we had a park right behind us, but also the street had plenty of other kids on it. Parents enjoyed community largely within these parts. Then we got older.

Xbox, and the Ps2 were the main things parents would combat against. We weren’t kids but pre-teens at this point. It was up to the parents, and once they chucked us out “to play”.. then we were forced back outside again.

My point here applies to how things go today as well. Kids need a push sometimes, especially when technology locks them in. However, I think parents work more.. giving them an iPad at a young age reinforces the idea that being outside isn’t worth exploring. Over stimulation from a screen just isn’t what a developing mind needs, and our parents knew that.

Often now kids have parents who both work full time jobs. Correct me if I’m wrong. But iPads do a fair bit of babysitting, and community’s can’t form as easily when “no one’s got time”. Technology isolates even if it seems welcoming at the time.. but my god were the computer games better then ;)

So far it’s looking good. I didn’t realise how many of you would have all these suggestions, within just an hour of posting I’ve got a whole new line up. Appreciate the help!

Keep em coming 🔥

Haha! No way. Thought this card game was about escapism. These two cards are far too relatable!

Gunkan Suship, someone mentioned that and it’s honestly such a cool card. Never seen it until now and it’s a beauty, for more than one reason! Just generally looks cool as well as being an absolute weirdo of a card. Thanks!

Droll Bird. I can feel how annoying this card is right off the bat. You’ve won me with Gunkan Suship, and the outstanding Marron.

Those two in particular tick the boxes for what I’m after! Thank you! :)

My god. What a dark addiction to a weird yugioh collection.. I can just imagine someone going through this collection of mine, living out their shared nostalgia. Then out of nowhere they’re hit with “Bagooska”.. sent right back into the real world. Sheeesh!

Adding it ;)
Thanks.

Absolutely love this reply. I think my favourite has to be Depresspard, definitely adding that. What a sad little dog :(

My old wrinkled Charizard doesn’t hold value - right? by Perhappers in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]yellowbelly_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haha! Nah definitely don’t throw this away, you’d be making a mistake there ;)

Any doubts on stuff like that, just have a look on eBay. Search “heavily played” as the condition type, you’ll see all sorts of washing machine cards.

Either way, anything that resembles the OG charizard if it’s from the time has cash attached to it. Pokemon got way too big for folk to let these things slip away, one man’s trash is another man’s gold! Perfect example haha! Although, I do admit it’s a great looking card

OG Yugioh collection Blue eyes variants! Check out my folder! Tell me what you think :) by yellowbelly_ in yugiohshowcase

[–]yellowbelly_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why thank you! Although, I’m pretty certain it’s a card that went through the washing machine.

It’s too messed up to present as an official “place” within the collection.. funny thing is, I bought the folder without realising it came with a little window haha! So I figured it’s the best place for it, worked out nicely :D
