scars Anonymous 19908[Reply]

nonas with cutting scars, how do you deal with them?
2 posts omitted. Click reply to view.

Anonymous 19911

they don't hurt but i avoid looking at them whenever i can. no idea how i'm going to explain to a guy that manages to see me naked why i have cuts on my legs. i hope the tumblr pedo who groomed me into self harm for his fetish while i was depressed, who trooned out a few years later is rotting in hell right now.

I'm kinda okay with them. My boyfriend also has a bunch of scars too (far deeper than mine) and he's also okay with them. We don't really hide them anymore, it's just. Okay. We don't particularly hate them. I don't know if this is the advice you want. I go outside without hiding my scars the same way I go outside without hiding my unshaved legs. It's just that with time you kind of realise that people don't really look at you, and if they do it and express negative sentiment towards you then they're pretty weird for taking a bunch of healed scars (and leg hair on women) so seriously.

has anyone said anything about it?
im worried friends & family will think of me differently for it

Anonymous 20003

I cover them with clothes easily but I'd be sad to get with a man and have him be disgusted by my scars when we get intimate. Someday I'll stop giving a fuck but I have pretty much accepted that no one will find me desirable.

Familly has said stuff when they first found out I cut when I was a teenager. They were unsupportive and it was awful. Bf's familly was supportive from what he told me and no one has mentioned his scars to him even though his are deeper/more noticeable. Though since he's a man his experience with it is probably vastly different. Strangers do not speak about them to me, but I've had one time with my physical therapist where she asked me if I was attacked by a bear or something (she wasn't being mean to me, she's actually great) but she noticed it made me a bit uncomfortable (I don't think she realised it was self harm scars) and dropped the topic pretty fast. I've gone to the beach and pool with those scars visible. After a few years with them it starts to become "okay". They're not fresh anyway, and they'll probably stay forever but it's okay. A lot of people have scars/weird stuff on their body and we rarely notice it ourselves. I hope my post could help.

Pill junkie, doctor shopper, here. Attempted suicide more than a dozen times, was hospitalized 3 times, one of them for more than a month. Had to have my stomach pumped many times because of attempted suicide through OD. Was kidnapped,sexually, physically and mentally abused for 2 years, almost got killed 3 times by that person and they used me as a way to extort all of my family’s money.

>Do you take any? Which ones?


Sertraline, Keppra (I’m epileptic), Alprazolam (Xanax) and Zolpidem (Ambien, my beloved)

>When did you start?


I started to take Sertraline and Ambien at 14. Quickly became addicted to Ambien and started abusing it.

>Are you diagnosed with anything?

BPD, PTSD, major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, suicidal ideation, panic disorder, insomnia.

>Do you take any? Which ones?
Every SSRI basically until one sent me to the hospital with psychosis (Viibryd).
Buspirone, Seroquel, Risperidone, Adderall, Vyvanse, Xanax, Ativan.
The Xanax & Ativan are the only ones I took consistently (10 years) and I tapered off 2 years ago
>When did you start?
14
>Are you diagnosed with anything?
MDD, ADD, Panic Disorder
>Which ones have you tried? Did they work?
the SSRIs would always help my depression and give me boosts of energy for a few months and then quit working and i would try a new one. the benzos worked for my panic attacks but since ive tapered off, i no longer have panic attacks but just kind of live in a constant state of uneasiness + feelings of dread a few times a week.
adderall is amazing for making me be productive for once in my life but i cannot take it because the come down makes me suicidal

Back on the tooth health thread, I found out that removing drinks with lemon in them and almost completely cutting out sugar from drinks and sweets helps a lot against cavities and enamel erosion.
Also reducing acidic drinks and foods like tomatoes, lemons, and oranges helps a lot, the acids contained in foods can erode tooth enamel even without cavities.

Anonymous 19750

I had to have surgery bc my canines were growing horizontally into my front teeth on both sides. They had to cut out part of my palette bone and attach chains to them and wrench them down with braces. The pain was unspeakable for several years. It gave me a phobia of dental work forever. Every time they tightened my braces even the slightest touch of my tongue to the chained teeth would nearly make me black out.

My teeth are very straight now though I have a little gum recession bc of the braces. I manage it with careful cleaning and sensitive toothpaste bc there's no way I am getting a graft.

I don't have a single cavity. My teeth are kind of yellow due to coffee but I refuse to use anything that whitens so I can protect my enamel. Not worth it. I try to floss every day though I've gotten lazy about it lately.

Have you had any of your molars extracted? I still have all mine but many people in my family don't. I don't care if my teeth are a bit crooked because of them, I guess they'll come in handy if I ever lose a frontal tooth.

Muh nose sucks

Anonymous 19835

Don't jump down my throat, but I'm against cosmetic plastic surgery in general because I don't think women should have to go under the knife just to feel good about themselves. Look at all the ugly wretched men out there who don't feel an iota of shame about how they look, then look at the women next to them who look fine but hate themselves for some reason. For example, >>19826 , there's nothing wrong here. I don't know what mirrors you're looking into.

Ask yourselves:
>Who is making me feel bad about how I look?
>Would I be as harsh on one of my friends with similar features?
>Where do I stop? What features? What age?
>Why do plastic surgery results seem to end up looking just one way? As in, why don't you see rhinoplasties offering wider noses, or ones offering to emphasize a dorsal hump?

I'm not controlling or shaming anyone, I just think you all have worth far beyond what you look like. And you can spend that money on a fun vacation or an awesome hobby instead.

Getting pubes waxed the first time is definitely one of the worst things. But it makes your hair grow in thinner and softer so even a second wax hurts 10xs less (assuming you don't shave in-between appointments)

Anonymous 19947

i think the years i spend shaving and putting on even light makeup was a very slowburn kind of pain. the small inconvenience added up every day over the years until eventually i had a fit and threw it all out. it's one of those things where you didn't even realize you were hurting until it stopped

Self/fake tan Anonymous 19928[Reply]

For those of you that self tan; whats your favorite product and why?

Anonymous 19934

I no longer fake tan but when I did, the only brand that worked for me was MineTan because they were the only brand that sold cool toned self tanners for very pale skin that stayed quite light. I'm very pale and cool toned naturally and everything else, no matter how good the quality and non-orange, still looked unnatural on me. Maybe cool toned tanners are more common now idk.

Anorexia recovery Anonymous 19479[Reply]

I'm in recovery because I wanted to commit suicide but all the food makes my stomach hurt. I think it happens because I have gotten used to only eating vegetables and coffee or tea. Could it be that coffee damaged my stomach? Or maybe it's just my anorexia mind feeling guilty for eating?

Everyone's digestion gets fucked up in anorexia recovery. Try some yoga for stomach pain like puppy pose. I saw doctors for it but after like a year and a half I figured out that most of the pain was just trapped wind

It's not the coffee, you can keep drinking that.

Anonymous 19912

>Could it be that coffee damaged my stomach?

Coffee can cause heartburn.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8778943/

>Effects of Coffee on the Gastro-Intestinal Tract


Tea as well, I'm sure there's a study somewhere confirming it.

These are the facts, though I don't know what to suggest, I don't want to imply you should stop eating or drinking something. Maybe try other drinks that are not fizzy or wash down the coffee with water.

>Or maybe it's just my anorexia mind feeling guilty for eating?

I don't think anyone here can answer this. Try to reduce the physical pain, eat food like soup and beans that is easy on the stomach.

Anonymous 19930

It takes time for your body to readjust to processing normal amounts of food. When I was recovering from undereating I also had gas problems. It goes away and recovery is worth it.

My friend has gotten into designing nails since she stopped dancing and does nails for her friends who still work at the clubs. She's starting to make more and more money for her nails and even just commissioned a logo. Her designs are really pretty and elaborate but I still don't wear them even though I know she'd love to practice on me because I'm a little autistic or something and they give me sensory issues. They're nice to look at but idk how anybody can stand to wear them. If you're artistic at all it seems like a really cool hobby to make your own.

Anonymous 19925

I almost got them when I was younger but I had no idea about the time/pain commitment on to if how expensive it is. I still think women with nice nails look good, though.

I recently got some silver rings and faux diamond earrings

Anonymous 19901

I wear two earrings per earlobe so in the upper holes I wear little zirconia and silver cubic earrings and in the lower ones small silver hoops. I never take them off since silver is water resistant. Sometimes I wear a vintage silver ring with a tiny amethyst or a short silver chain with a tiny irregular garnet.

I think earrings look the best. They're simple and make you look cute. I just wish I would stop losing them

I want earrings that I can just leave in and not worry about. But I don't know what style I want.
