This shit is super light, and the ingredients are quite simple. I highly recommend it if you have sensitive skin and have reacted to avebenzone poorly before.

How many times a day do you wash your face? When I was a teen with super oily skin and acne I used to wash it 3 times: after wakin up, before lunch and before bed. Now My skin texture is different but I still feel the need to wash it and apply moisturizer 2-3 times because it looks like shit if it's not fresh clean.

>>19904
Three times a day seems excessive. I wash my face once a day (at night in the shower).

>>19904
My skin is still oily and I'm past the age of 25. I wash my face twice a day, in the morning and before I go to bed

>>431
Morning:
MEDIHEAL Madecassoside Toner Pads
St. Mege Daily SPF 50+
Torriden or Dior Lip Balm

Before Bed:
Neutrogena Eye Makeup Remover Oil Free
(For makeup days)
ETUDE SoonJung Whip Cleanser
IUNIK Calendula & Jojoba Oil Cleanser
(Only exfoliate with a microfiber face cloth once or twice a month, anything more and I get really red or breakout a little)
COSRX Retinol Cream
NIOD MODULATING GLUCOSIDES
COSRX Snail Mucin 92 Cream

Thank you for this thread because I have now discovered mineral/physical sunscreens are better for hyperpigmentation so I guess I'm gonna stick with that. Coincidentally the one I currently have is a mineral one. The white cast is annoying but I don't take pictures of myself so I guess it's not like it matters. The one I use is a baby one which thankfully isn't too drying but I still have to layer it over my cream cause my skin is very dry. Originally bought it cause it was supposed to be good for sensitive skin but I guess has multiple upsides for me.

I use chemical because mineral feels too thick and makes me not want to use it.

>>20251
>Chemical sunscreen does cause cancer though.
Not all of them do.

Mineral sunscreen because it's more protective. Only with zinc oxide though. Was titanium dioxide not banned?

Nona you have the exact same piercings as me (all done at the mall when I was a teenager I'm sure we can all relate lol)

>how can I tell, before buying something online, if hoops/drops will be heavy enough to create pussy slits in my lobes?

I only ever buy earrings in person for this exact reason, maybe you should do that?

>>2912
>Do you have any piercings/body mods? Are you happy with them?
I have:
>ears (both lobes (one double), industrial, double helix)
>eyebrow
>nostril
>lip
>nipples
>navel
>guiche
plus a bunch of tattoos all over
>Planning to have more in the future?
I'm fine in terms of piercings, I think, but I really want to get my tongue split (been meaning to for a few years, it's just expensive and will take a while to heal)
I've also considered permanent fangs and elf ears, but I'm probably not going to do either any time soon (especially not the ears, since that would fuck with my existing piercings)

>>20289
I wonder if people who get this snake tongue thing, stand in front of the mirror and practice these moves afterwards

>>20260
>if hoops/drops will be heavy enough to create pussy slits in my lobes?
It's not fool proof but get disk backs like picrel, they have better support

>>20293
Sorry downloaded the wrong pic, this is what I meant.

Drugging the population with benzos, SSRIs and amphetamine-derivatives is a central pillar of modern culture.
A population essentially vegetated and farmed, made passive, impotent and malleable by drugs. It’s easy to see why this is both profitable and desirable for elites & investors.
They want to start you on these drugs as early as possible, while your brain is still developing. And they want to make you believe the drugs and associated ‘mind-disorders’ are part of your personal identity. That’s their trick and you all are falling for it.

Yeah, sure, my hallucinations and delusions were just a myth invented by ebil corpos.

Returning to the topic of the thread.

>Do you take any? Which ones?
Currently I take paroxetine and quetiapine (ESL, so I don't know their murican names)
>When did you start?
Year ago when my parents finally made me visit to psychiatrist. I felt so bad, that I wanted to be hospitalised despite knowing how shitty my country's psych wards are. Luckily, my genetic disease saved me from going there.
>Are you diagnosed with anything?
Either schizotypal personality disorder or psychotic depression. Yeah, I've been through psychosis and not just once.
>Which ones have you tried? Did they work?
I was lucky to have my antidepressant correct from beginning, but finding a right antipsychotic took some time. I've tried aripiprazole, but it just gave me bad extrapyramidals. Olanzapine made me gain weight very quickly, so it was cancelled.
My current meds are working fine, but I have a fear that once I drop them, I'll return back to shitty state and maybe even worse. They make you dependant, for sure, but it's the case with many meds used against chronic diseases, not only with antipsychotics and antidepressants. Many gastroenterological meds such as laxatives and inhibitors of proton pump make you dependant on them as well, but I guess, becoming a bit dumber than usual is bigger problem than not being able to shit by yourself and having strong stomach bain and heartburn every time you're off your meds.

>>18794
>Do you take any? Which ones?
Zoloft 100mg (seeing doc in a couple days, bet she will increase it), pregabalin 75mg 3x.

>When did you start?
Feb, I think? maybe earlier

>Are you diagnosed with anything?
PTSD. Scumbag psychologist insisted I "did not seem like someone with PTSD" but both a psychiatrist, and later a hospital diagnozed me with PTSD. Also, depression, dyslexia, dyscalculia.

>Which ones have you tried? Did they work?
Mirtazapine, big regret. Useless for anxiety, could of been useful if the psychiatrist educated me and pointed out only SSRIs help anxiety. So I wouldn't had wasted time and money.

Zoloft tho…it feels like nothing changed and I am still me. Yet my anxiety finally is beginning to chill the hell out. Everything feels normal until "wait…did I just…walk up and talk to that librarian? wait, did I legit just order food on my own, and even was able to walk back up to the cashier and ask him to correct my order? wait….. I MANAGED TO GET INTO SCHOOL?? wait wtf I CAN NOW MANAGE TO CALL MY DOC INSTEAD OF RELYING ON EMAILING HER??" I also find it mind blowing, I was too scared to go to a piercing studio, not cuz pain, but because of severe social anxiety. I had a friend walk me to the place, and still I was under tons of fear since I'd have to eventually go in a room alone with the piercer. But now, I can do it fine all on my own, with just awkward nervousness, no biggie. I also now have the balls to ask for directions from strangers.

Oh, same anon still. I want to empathize the irony of all this: programming + building breadboard and arduino projects is a huge hobby of mine that means a lot, but keep it mind it requires hyper focusing and logic. A soldier with PTSD told me "don't idle. constantly do something, outside of games. that helps with PTSD slowly get under control", and a friend also said to keep depressin at bay find some hobby you can be consistent with. So Zoloft making programming and my IT school harder to focus in is hugely ironic and annoying. But eh, I try to make it thru. We all have more control over our lives than we think, we just gotta keep trying, chief.

You do realize these meds were invented to replace lobotomies and "female hysteria" treatment, right?

Any Crohn's baddies in here?

Rant incoming I don’t think there’s any advice that could ever help me out. I’ve been struggling with vision problems for the past 7 years of my life due to some rare disease I don’t want to name so I can’t be identified. My left eye is the one that is being affected by it and I’ve had DOZENS of procedures varying from eye injections, eye surgeries, even implants put into my eye. Doctors don’t know what caused it. I’m just sick of this shit I haven’t seen a specialist in a year now even though my vision is worsening. I don’t know why but I can’t bring myself to go into the doctors anymore. I now have a big blind spot in my left eyes central vision. That amongst the many surgeries and needles they put into my eye are causing my eye to become lazy/droopy. I’m very self conscious of this, not even that long ago some normie asked me what was wrong with my eye and why does one look tired and one looks awake. I also live in fear that this disease will also somehow start effecting my other eye as well. I can’t enjoy anything outdoors anymore because I have major light sensitivity and I have a bunch of floaters in my vision. I can barely even read on a screen because I just start seeing double once my left eye gets tired. I’m ready to just rip my eye out and wear an eyepatch for the rest of my life.

Hormonal bc never made me gain weight, you're neurotic

>>20237
nta but weight gain is a common side effect. Just because it didn't happen to you doesn't mean it's not a real possibility.

Don't do it, you may drastically gain weight. Especially since you are underweight and unhealthy. It also will make you even more miserable, you might have nausea. Don't stop your body's natural process of shedding eggs every month.

A little bit over a 4” difference for a D cup, so sorta a d-cup. 30D is the last pair i bought a couple years back, and i might have it sitting somewhere in a drawer.

For the healing process, this was a time where I was practically living in the hospital. I had lung surgery frequently, and so recovery was long and extended. Only until 2021 have I really been in full recovery since my lung transplant.
But recovery and healing from the mastectomy almost went unnoticed in comparison to much worse medical issues.
For the immunity part, with a total simple mastectomy they simply remove breast tissue and the surrounding outside skin, making sure to leave the lymph nodes intact. If i remember right, they didn’t remove either of the nodes.

In my very unprofessional opinion, they simply removed my breast out of frustration with dealing with them for my surgeries, but the medical anomaly could have been fully real. But to me, they simply chopped me however they liked under the knife.

I love my small breasts and I hope they never get bigger. Sucks that so many buy into the moid propaganda and feel bad about it for no reason.

nonas my breasts are a joke. i have A-AA cups despite being on the cusp of normal and overweight bmi. my breasts have a horribly ugly shape. they are flat on top and dont have my fat on the underside either, all the fat seems to be on the side of them, yet i have no cleavage. the worst part about them is the nipples. my areolas are puffy and stick out when my nipples arent hard, and theyre also fucking huge compared to the rest of the breast.

theyre ugly in crop tops if its a tight one and i have no bra, cuz theyll look like waffle cones from the side, and theyre ugly with no shirt on, because i have a horrible shape and theyre small for my body.

the ONLY time they look semi presentable is when im cold, and the all the skin on my breast tightens. they look rounder and the areola shrinks SIGNIFICANTLY like to a normal size, but then my tits go back to the same relaxed fugly shape. im doomed

>How has having small breasts affected your body image and confidence?
It has made everything better. No sexualizing from outsiders (well.. as little as possible as a woman), I can jump and run without having to think/prepare, and I love being flat. I got made fun of a little for being so flat in highschool, but I’m so grateful for it I don’t mind. Probably helps I had a mom who hyped me up throughout my childhood.
>Do you believe breast augmentation is alright?
Meh, I advise against it. It’s a waste of time and money you could spend on trying to learn to like yourself. Easier said than done, of course. My mom was Acup and got doubleDs after breast cancer took her breasts, which I mean… eh.. I just don’t understand the logic behind a breast augmentation.
>Do you prefer going braless?
yep. no bras fit me except training ones…
>Do you care about having cleavage or not?
no. i like to show off my chest/collarbone area more than cleavage.
>If you have been berated for having small breasts, how have you coped?
jump up and down without worry
>What's your favorite breast type visually?
B/small C. a little to grab and look at, but not too big.

>>19360
as much as i hate cops 2, i have the same opinion as them and your neighbours. There IS a difference betweeen a man and a woman going around topless

I’m 4’9 my husband is 6’6. Usually the really tall ones like me. My first love was 5’0 though and he transitioned in our late 20s kek. I think I like really tall guys and really short guys. Average height just doesn’t do it for me. I don’t think I would change my height because of my height preference for men. I do wish I could find clothes that fit me and shoes in adult sizes. I do wish I could cook comfortably in the kitchen and not have to use a stool. I really hate washing dishes and loading and unloading laundry it’s such a physical task for me because I have to over exaggerate the movements due to height. Driving is also difficult I cannot see the road very well. Also no one my age treats me seriously because of my height. When I pick up my kid from elementary school at least half of the children there are my height or taller. They look at me funny. I do feel a bit like a freak.

I think I'm 5'1 or somewhere around that. I once dated a scrote who made fun of my height. He is depressed/miserable now. So all good I guess.

I'm around 163cm. I was always on the short side in school. Weirdly I never felt bad about it and even wanted to be shorter for a while. Now I'm right at the average height wete I live and it's nice.

>>19798
>This is my height
>btw also I'm so pretty
>btw also my ass and tits are huge
>btw also I'm a literal softcore porn model haha

This is a thread about height.

im like 185cm and i wish i was either 6ft5 or 7ft so i cant get height mogged

>>20133
>first time
You'll probably be really sore tomorrow, but I just wanted to post to tell you that level of soreness when you start from zero is normal and to not be alarmed. Keep it up!

>>20133
It's ok, Nona! That's how everyone's experience is when they first start going to the gym.
The more you go, the easier it gets.

I recommend bringing an experienced friend to help you with your form next time. You can also record your sets to see how you can improve your form.

Good luck, Nona! I'm proud of you. :)

>>14050
>Favorite and least favorite exercises?
I fucking hate lateral raises. I'm able to lify 30-40 pounds while doing any other exercise but as soon as I get to lateral raises, I have to grab some 15s. They always make me feel like I'm a weak ass bitch, but I'll get there one day.

>What's your workout routine?
WARMUP:
-60 dumbbell russian twists
-60 alternating Knee tucks
-30 leg raises
-30 crunches
-60 second plank

UPPER BODY 3x8:
-cable bent over bar pullovers
-cable chest press

Has anybody had any luck growing delts? My triceps grow way faster so it makes my arms look really weird with overdeveloped triceps and underdeveloped delts and biceps. I have cut back on tricep exercises so now the only thing I do that works triceps is bench press. Other than than im focusing on lateral raises and bicep curls to make my arms look more proportionate.

Nonas there is a hot butch girl at my gym what do I was doing free weights next to her for a few sets but I was worried I was creeping her out. I need to buy cute gym clothes instead of wearing these frumpy outfits
