My face has cleared up so much thanks to ~5 months of adepalene but anytime i spend time with my partner (which involves a lot of face rubbing) i breakout around my mouth and chin and i just want to hear any tips for preventing that, because im not planning on stopping kissing my partner

I just feel kind of stupid and hopeless. Around 6-9months ago i started noticing that my acne was returning around a year after finishing accutane, it felt like it was getting increasingly worse but was still very mild acne, just the kind of thing where i’d wake up everyday with a new breakout somewhere. So i decided to ask my doctor about adapalene and have now been using it for 2 months, but my skin is just getting worse and worse, i keep getting these big painful pimples that appear and grow super quickly as well as all of these tiny little pimples on my chin. It’s strange because it’s absolutely cleared my forehead up but for some reason my chin and jawline are worse than they’ve been since before starting accutane.

My (25F) best friend since infancy, who has been there for me through so much, including bad relationships and breakups. Yesterday she messaged me out of the blue clearly very worried and anxious saying she had matched with an ex of mine, chatted for a bit, and he had asked her out. the initial messages really really bothered me, it felt like she was trying to gauge if i’d be okay with them talking/asking my permission to keep chatting saying things like “i’ll cut contact if it makes you uncomfortable” and it felt like she was trying to downplay my relationship with him. After i told her i was very upset at the idea she’d even want to talk to him she immediately insisted that was never her intention and she just misspoke earlier and had already cut things off with him but just felt guilty not telling me about it. I just don’t know how to feel or what to do, I obviously want to trust that my friend would not have considered doing something like that to me but i can’t let go of the worry that her insisting she wouldn’t was her backtracking after learning i’d be very upset by it.

I believe her when she says she didn’t immediately realise who it was because they only met a few times 2ish years ago and he has changed in appearance quite a bit, but she does admit that some of the conversation and them following each other on social media happened after she realised and i’m just so confused and hurt. she was the first person i talked to after things like ended with this ex but she claims she forgot how serious our relationship was and that he had hurt me, which i guess could be explained by the fact that very soon after this relationship i dated someone who was the spawn of satan so maybe she assumed bad stories i had told about exes was the relationship i had straight after. just a case of wires getting crossed.

Anyways im rambling i just don’t know whether to treat this as a misjudgement where the only crime is not stopping the convo quick enough which she immediately was incredibly apologetic about, or whether this is a much more serious breach of trust and respect where she was properly considering going on a date with my ex. I know for a fact that if i said i was uncomfortable with something she would not do it, i think it’s more that i shouldn’t have had to tell her. i guess the concern is just whether she was telling me just to let me know because she felt guilty and bad because she knew it was wrong, or whether she was hoping id be fine with it which she insists wasn’t the case. the solution to this is not going to be cutting her off or anything like that, we’ve had 24years of trust and love built.

It makes me feel so disgusting and selfish to be so upset and fixated on my (26F) current boyfriends (27M) ex girl friend. He has explained to me how miserable he was with her, how she physically and emotionally abused him, isolating him from his friends and constantly tearing him down. So why am i so obsessed with her, and the idea that my bf at one point loved her. He gives me so much reassurance and affection without needing to be asked, it’s by far the safest most respectful loving relationship either of us have been in. but i constantly find myself having the urge to do a deep dive on anything i can find out about her, compulsively asking innocent seeming questions that i know will lead to him telling me a little scrap of info about her, looking through their mutual friend’s photos to try and find ones of her, even checking out her linkedin. It has been made worse by seeing her in public a few days ago, we didn’t talk to her but it was just really hard to see her in the flesh.

I’m wondering if this is a new manifestation of my OCD which i thought had been curbed by my current medication. I just don’t want to sabotage or undermine how unbelievably happy I am in this relationship by obsessing over this woman, it’s not something i really want to talk to my bf about because i don’t want to constantly put him in the position of having to talk about his abusive ex and make him relive memories. I just want some help, and hopefully some people who relate to me

Hi guys i’m planning on taking one tablet of the laxatte senna tablets as its been about 2ish weeks since ive had a full bowel movement. I’ve heard some horror stories so am hoping for some advice on how to minimise side effects. i’m staying very hydrated and the stool i have been passing isn’t hard i just simply am not feeling any urge to pass stool so none of my BMs have felt complete lately

Recently saw a restoration of the Australian movie “Going Down” from 1982 and the soundtrack was incredible but i can find very very little information about what any of the songs are. From what i’ve read they reached out to a lot of unknown local artists for some of the songs but there’s gotta be someone out there with a CD or movie poster or something from when the movie was released that has some info on the track list of the soundtrack
