i had a very positive experience with barrier butter.
but lately i've been feeling insanely insecure in my face. i gained some weight and my jawline is not visible in certain angles, especially when i smile...i look awfully gross.
so i started hitting the gym, avoiding certain foods, and doing some face lifting to try and fix that.
would caffeine reset help with face-lifting? is it any good?
long story short i (24f) struggle with intimacy, specifically penetration. it's extreeeeeemely painful and i do not enjoy it.
whenever i have intercourse, i usually do nothing.
i'm gonna have a date with 34M and i need some tips on how to be more kinky. last time we met, i got too nervous and we did not end up having any intimacy at all. when we went to the hot springs together, i hid in the restroom for 15 minutes because i was too shy to get naked.
note: i have been sa'd and my first experience was very very bad.
please do not respond if you are not neurodivergent, unless you are responding on behalf of someone who is.
for those who do not have an official diagnosis, how did you let your workplace know what you struggle with, or did you at all? do you end up struggling to keep jobs because of your disabilities/bad work environments and job hopping a lot? have you ever worked somewhere that actually understood what being autistic/adhd/ocd was like and was understanding regarding your needs? did you ever give your students lessons on what it means to be neurodivergent?
and those who do have one, do you disclose that when job hunting or not? if you do, does that make it harder for you to find a job?
long story short i am currently residing in japan and working full-time. i want to attend grad school in either late 2027 or early 2028. i want to major in something related to english teaching and (possibly) minor in art.
based on what i have researched, Ritsumeikan is a good fit for me. waseda would be nice, but they only have a japanese program.
how do i begin the application process? how do i contact professors? what makes someone a good candidate? how do i apply for scholarships?
note: my undergrad GPA was 3.3 and i have relevant work experience (JET + soon to be international preschool + assistant teacher at a Saturday-only Japanese school in the US + daycare experience + 2 fluent languages + N4 japanese)).
title says it all.
so as we all know, it's golden week and all the offices are closed.
i was gone all week. when i returned home yesterday, i found a letter from immigration in my mailbox, telling me that i need to submit an extra document by may 7, which is tomorrow.
i'm worried that i will not have time (it takes 1.5 hours to drive to immigration, and i haven't taken any days off). would they be able to give me an extension, or am i cooked?
