Parental controls for myself Anonymous 20562[Reply]

Hello everyone.
I have an android phone and I would like to add parental controls for myself to add blocking of impurity and bedtimes, etc, but every app I see is meant for actual parents and kids so they ask for two phones, the parent's and the child's. Any reccomendations? Thank you

I need to make my smartphone into a dumbphone, pronto. Smartphones are fucking evil.

Also, to all the detractors: OP is in the right. You can pretend this is stupid all you want, but data proves her putting constraints on phone usage just works.

Blocking mobile internet on smartphones improves sustained attention, mental health, and subjective well-being https://academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/article/4/2/pgaf017/8016017
https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/2858036.2858359
The mere presence of a smartphone reduces basal attentional performance https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-36256-4
"Both interventions reduced smartphone use intensity, problematic use tendencies, depressive, and anxiety symptoms. In both groups, life satisfaction and physical activity increased. Most effects were stronger and remained more stable over 4 months in the reduction group than in the abstinence group. Moreover, in the reduction group only, the number of daily smoked cigarettes decreased" https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2022-50916-001
"In the model with intention as the mediator, the intervention (vs. control) condition was positively associated with increases in intention at T2 (b = 0.23, SE = 0.12, 95% CIbc [0.05, 0.41]), which was associated with reduced smartphone usage time during the following seven days " https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0747563225000718#sec3



matcha and coffee.…

Morning wake up drinks Anonymous 21403[Reply]

Water is absoultely needed. Apart from that coffee, tea, matcha or energy drinks is what I have heard people drink. Personally I find drinking an energy drink in the morning insane but you do you. I like the bitternes of coffee but it makes me very anxious so I stick to matcha. Tea is good too but only in milk.
I don't like the ones overloaded with sugar no matter what it is but I do like how they are presented.

Period Thread Anonymous 21888[Reply]

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.

I'm having an expected and unusually heavy period. I take subscription iron supplements but I'm so exhausted and unstable right now.

Anonymous 22878

Does anyone use period tracking apps or other methods or whatever? I used to but then kinda stopped when I changed phones because I couldn't transfer my period data.
I don't really like Clue. I wonder if there's like an open source period tracker because it'd be way easier to manage data there lol.

Anonymous 22879

Ohhh I found something.
https://github.com/IraSoro/peri - a tracker in the browser! There's also the import and export configs!

Getting rid of stains Anonymous 22877[Reply]

Do nonas have any experience with getting rid of stains in clothing?
I recently tried to remove real old yellow spots from a blue cotton tshirt. Seems like soaking it with dish soap helped the best, but you still can kinda see a bit of it left.

It's true. There's this gigachad homeless guy that lives near me and his hair is always flawless despite not showering and he's shredded like cheese despite only doing pushups and walking a lot. Also he can jump 6 feet vertically and has an IQ of over 120. I always see him with like 10 girls on him

Holy serums? Anonymous 21849[Reply]

I tried tretinoin for a while but it just made my face burn and feel rough no matter how light and spaced out I went with it. Recently got into azelaic acid instead and it's been managing my break outs way better as well as keeping my skin calm. I still dab my breakouts with tret and slap a zit sticker over it after it's dried but I'm using it considerably less. What's been your savior?

also nona, be careful with putting pimple patches and other occlusive layers on top of active ingredients like tretinoin! it can burn your skin or over exfoliate it. best of luck on your skincare journey :3

Vanicream made my skin burn, I don't understand why at all and my derm was also perplexed. Its the equivalent to thinking ketchup is spicy but with my skin. Crazy.

Oh no, that sucks. Have you ever tried colloidal oatmeal, nona? Might work for your uber sensitive skin. I know there’s some creams and serums that use it as an ingredient. Best of luck.

im so fucking scared (period, birth control, anemia) Anonymous 22853[Reply]

So i was on nexplanon for 3 years and didn't have a period. Then I got it out and had the worst periods of my life for 6 months. so I decided to go back on nexplanon. however this time, my periods didn't go away, and they last for a month, and now after a year i've been diagnosed with anemia (my ferritin level was 5 with the recommended range >100). the blood test cost me $400 and i fainted right after they took it. i went on iron supplements but what do i do now? it feels like i just bleed out all the iron i eat each month. if i get nexplanon taken out i bleed like crazy, but if i leave it in i have these month-long periods. i feel like this will eventually kill me, who knows how long my brain and heart have been running on low oxygen. but i live in the usa and don't have healthcare so uhhh

Anonymous 22854

>>22853
im sorry this sounds scary.
do you live in the usa? can you get on medicaid? there may be places you can go, depending on your state, that can treat you even though you are uninsured.
also, it's possible if you call the hospital and explain you're uninsured/in poverty, they will reduce the $400 bill. just say you literally couldn't afford it.

Anonymous 22855

>>22854 thanks so much, this is actually really helpful advice… i will do those things! and luckily im from a blue state so hopefully they’ll have something

i’m just so flabbergasted that something as simple and normalized as going on birth control could lead to this terrible of a health consequence. i feel so bad for any other nona’s that have heavy bleeding.

if anyone reading this has heavy periods and feels tired all the time like me, then please get your iron checked before it gets bad…

Real experience with no shampoo for 200 days

Anonymous 22842

I wish I had hair like pic related. I never figured out how to take care of my hair right. My mom was absent so I couldn't learn it from her.

I basically shampoo (with repeat) and condition (leave in hair while I was the rest of me) with Tresemme every other day and use a microfiber hair wrap after the shower. After a little bit I take the wrap off, brush and let it air dry. That's been my routine for a while. Well I started using this silicone scalp massager thing recently.
