Help with cakey makeup? Anonymous 23008[Reply]

been trying to wear makeup more but i feel like it just makes me look worse somehow? at least for my foundation. it makes my skin look really patchy and obvious that i'm wearing makeup. i tried using different kinds of primers (liquid, the kind that kind of feels like clay idk what to call it) + moisturizer but there are still patches of dry cakey skin on my face. idk if it's a skincare thing or a makeup thing since i'm not an expert on either but if anyone has any advice i'd be very happy to hear it ^^

look up lightweight/ light coverage foundations or look into skin tints or bb creams. Hell even tinted spf can give light coverage.

Chasing an idealic aesthetic or accepting the comforting embrace of mediocrity Anonymous 22999[Reply]

Do you think it's better to be bombarded with unrealistic aesthetics or telling ourselves it's okay to be a failure?

I feel like both ways are just lying to tell an unhealthy person (EDs or obese) that they're doing well. Growing up with everyone wanting to be skinny felt suffocating but I also feel uneasy about losing that goal. If I don't have an ideal aesthetic to strive for, how do I improve myself? Telling myself I'm fine feels like accepting mediocrity without any directions on where to go next. When I see pinterest trying to purposefully put plus-sized women at the top of my feed I feel like I'm being patronized and being told it's okay to be chubby when I know real life isn't like that.
I went from average height and stocky in middle school to under 50kg slightly short. This is the dream body I wanted but now it feels like I just got indoctrinated into becoming dependant on this 'dream'. I do get stressed about how much I eat but I don't think I can live without this stress.
How do you nonas find meaning and goals in life without holding on to this? Do you focus on your hobbies instead? What if I don't like my hobbies enough to take it any further?

Anonymous 23007

I just think men are ugly so what is the point? I don't want them looking at me. I focus on my hobbies, exactly. Its pretty much all i think about. Though I have severe cptsd from being stalked and i dont amount to much, its better than men having even an iota of influence over my mind.

Imo that is the worse nightmare you can have. If a moid is in your head and psychologically gaming you in any way its over. They triangulate to make you feel like a shell of yourself. They take everything. Do not do anything for moids and you will find your life has more purpose than it ever did before.

Endometriosis is a disorder where the lining of the uterus, the endometrium, grows where it's not supposed to - in and on the Fallopian tubes and ovaries.

Wonder what that feels like?

A study of people with endometriosis got the following descriptions:

>throbbing

>gnawing
>dragging pain to the legs
>shooting rectal pain
>sense that insides are being pulled down

I had it for idk, 15 years or so. Used several different versions of hormonal birth control including Depo. Only thing that worked was stopping my periods completely. I didn't have a bunch of excessive bleeding, but holy shit the pain. Never passed out from it but came close a few times. My stomach is permafucked from years of taking NSAIDs because Tylenol wouldn't even touch the pain and nobody likes prescribing opioids for chronic or recurring pain for obvious reasons. Weed helped, but it was still illegal back then (go-to-prison illegal, not just ticket illegal) so I only used it a couple times. Drinking helped but I don't recommend it for obvious reasons. Valerian root and heating pads or hot showers helped a tiny bit but not enough to make it possible to function.

Eventually had a complete hysterectomy because I also had PMDD and nothing was really helping that very much. Even the shot didn't really totally get rid of it, and for some reason I started having breakthrough symptoms between shots. Between the two, my life was damn near unlivable. Now I'm living that childfree life, and if I end up getting osteoporosis, well, at least I had a few good decades which is more than I would've gotten otherwise.

I have suspected for years I have this. I get intense pain when standing for even just short periods of time when I'm on my period and I have to consistently sit down as the pain around the top half of my legs and vaginal opening is so intense its unbearable. I've been to the doctors about it and all they did was prescribe me some high level pain killers but I live in the UK so trying to get a referral to a gynaecologist is like pulling teeth.

My sister has this and Im so thankful I dont have it, too.

I did, however, have an ovarian cyst that got so bad it swelled to the size of a fist and almost killed me. So now I'm missing an ovary. I'd get birth control if it didn't require a prescription in my state (southeastern US, no health insurance)

Apparently I have a cyst in my ovaries that's likely caused by endometriosis, the only treatment to which is surgery. It's 2x2cm-ish. I've literally never had an idea I might have endo, I've only ever heard of it before.

I should be fine… but it is a bit unsettling.

Today, July 8th, is the anniversary of my first period. I will never forget July eighth of 2013 when I had it. It was so painful, I was only 9 at the time too, so I thought Satan had been summoned into my stomach to make me bleed. (I was raised Catholic)

It was horrendous, I threw up, I passed out in bed, had a nightmare of going to Hell and woke up screaming "Jesus, save me!", threw up again and ruined my Game Boy Advance, it was just pure scream bloody gore.

And there's my two cents. Please share your sweet horror stories about your periods.

is drip the same app that advertised itself to sick moids larping as women?
if yes, anything is better than drip

I use Bluemoon, it's minimalist but does its job

Ayrt, and yes. I actually switched from drip. It has more statistics, which I find useful, and mood and symptom correlation displays that are easier to read. And the design is easier on the eyes.

Early pregnancy Anonymous 19774[Reply]

So i recently discovered I'm pregnant (blood test), I might be in the 3rd week or so, I haven't even been able to see a doctor yet.

I'm so anxious and I can't even tell anyone (apart from my moid who doesn't seem take it really seriously, he even offered me a drink and cigarettes, saying our grandmothers smoked and drinked during pregnancy and it wasn't a problem…whatever,i didnt choose him for his medical literacy), what makes me especially anxious is that there's so much risk of miscarriage at this early point and also I'm afraid my baby might come out with disability (i will do every test i can to determine if it has disability, and if it is the case i will terminate the pregnancy… I want to be a mom but i couldn't raise a person with heavy disability)

I want to tell my mom but she will instantly go crazy. So let's wait a few months until Im sure it's safe

For now i don't really feel different, i just have some light stomach pain fron time to time but maybe that's just psychological.

Have you ever experienced pregnancy? Feel free to share your experiences of (early) pregnancy.
Also if you have any tips.

wtf reading a book about pregnancy and now I’m finding out you’re supposed to get a bunch of vaccines too
And I guess there are some vaccines you are supposed to get every 10 years or so? I don’t think I got vaccinated past school age

There is a time frame during pregnancy that enables mother to decide the speed of her child's metabolism, by regulating the amount of consumed calories. I don't remember the exact time frame though, got that from Robert Sapolsky's biology lectures on yt.

ugly + PCOS + thinning hair. fucking genetic lottery Anonymous 22986[Reply]

Being born ugly was already bad enough but now my hair is thinning too. I have PCOS so i guess the hair loss isnt exactly surprising but its still fucking brutal when youre already ugly
every shower I end up with loose strands all over my hands and then I’m finding hair everywhere after. I’ve started keeping it in a bun with a hair band most of the time because I dont even wanna look at it.
I bought rogaine at Walgreens and started reading about it, which somehow just made me feel worse because apparently if it gets bad enough a hair transplant is basically the only way to fix the appearance and thats obviously not something i can afford
men can go bald and just buzz it off and nobody cares but as a woman thinning hair feels like a fucking death sentence
i dont look halfway human with short hair so i cant even hide it that way

I know you don't want to hear this but I think you should embrace it. It's not uncommon these days for women to shave their hair off. You could always wear a wig if you wanted to look normal.

Period Hormone Hell Anonymous 22977[Reply]

This is a bit blunt but how do you not want to kill yourself on your period? And not because of the cramps. I have PMDD and no clue how to treat it yet, I'm only on one set of meds for anything (20mg prozac) and I'm almost out so I'm essentially rawdogging this. It sucks because I lash out at people a lot and I'm a lot more prone to spiralling and splitting and the like during this time period. It's not fun to experience and I want it to stop. Any tips, or am I just stuck like this?

Is there anything worse than being flat? Being slender with small breasts and slim hips, and the number of strangers who feel like it's their place to tell me I have the body of a 12 year old boy is wild. because of the phrase real women have curves I have feel so disconnected from my femininity because of this and the other micro aggressions like Only a child could use this bras

see belle delphine, her body sucks and she ended up having to do pdfile shit to gain all those money… she was not HOT in a sexy way, she was weird and acted like a bratty child so her lolicon community spended all their money on her

Men will say they prefer small titties but will always choose big tits over flat.

No, thats the point, they hadnt. Show me just one old portrait, statue and so on with huge porn breasts, they simply dont exist. There are countless paintings, drawings, woodcuts, statues etc with small breasts. Until the modern era, no one seemed to give a shit.
