my mom has had a chronic coughing fit since the early 2000’s and shes in her 50’s now. its getting more frequent now and it happens when she’s stressed, laughing, angry, sitting normally and sleeping (specifically when she first lies down or in the middle of her sleep) and then goes away for a few mins or hour and repeat.

she went to the doctor years ago and they said theres nothing wrong with her. but clearly there’s something wrong there this isn’t normal. she doesn’t wanna go to the doctor anymore because no one knows what’s wrong with her but i can see that it’s affecting her life even though she got used to it.

i’m thinking of taking her to the doctors again after years of not getting it checked again. which doctor am i supposed to consult?

i take a pre workout that works pretty well but it gives off that stinging feeling and today it was so bad my entire arm was red and it was stinging EVERYWHERE and it hurt so bad. it obviously went away an hour later but i was so uncomfortable and it gave me anxiety.

i want a GOOD pre workout that energizes me and boosts my performance without that substance that gives off a stinging feeling.

please give me some suggestions! thanks.

I live in a humid and hot environment and my room gets SO humid especially when the AC is off. i put all my makeup in my room and i’m scared my makeup products will melt or become softer like my eyeshadow palette.

is this possible? all my products have lids and are pretty closed but i’m still worried about them.

let me know.

this might be dumb tbh but i’m someone who always needs things to go their way and if it doesn’t, something suddenly shifts in me and i tend to feel more blue and depressed and i just can’t stop thinking about it and wished it had gone my way.

the sadness of things not going my way just lingers and i think this comes from a point in my life where things barely ever gone my way and so i’m always left upset. this usually affects the people around me as well because the emotions are taking over me to the point where i dont even want to talk to anyone around me and even if i try to cheer up i’m just pretending to be happy for the sake of not ruining the vibe for the people around me.

i know this is such a bad habit but i’ve carried it into adulthood and i want to learn how to regulate my emotions and DO better. i don’t want such disappointments taking over my brain for so long.

how do i fix this habit?

genetically my hair grows fast but recently i haven’t seen fast hair growth and my scalp grows out thick curly hair and due to health reasons my hair has been growing out these wirey kinky hairs..that’s a long story but..

i see people cut their hair short and in just 3 months they already have longer hair and it just grows so fast while mine barely grows an inch per month.

i take iron pills because my ferritin is low and creatine because i lift but that’s really it. sometimes i don’t comb my hair because i just have it in a bun all day and i forget.

i eat very healthy and enough protein and calories. i don’t use any hair oils and sometimes my scalp is dry.

what might i be lacking that’s preventing fast hair growth and how do i make my hair grow faster?

i was looking for bamboo toothbrushes but i’ve heard a lot of negative things about them making them less ideal for brushing.

i did find recycled plastic tooth brushes and i was wondering if they’re environmentally friendly?

also do i just recycle them back when i’m done with using them?

i can’t for the life of me ever sleep without getting anxiety especially when i have to wake up early. 

i have been nocturnal for 2 years now since i graduated school with no university or a job and i’ve been sleeping so late in the morning i’m talking like 10am-12pm and waking up at like 7pm. i’ve tried fixing my sleep schedule a couple times and while it was successful i couldn’t keep it up and it would last me like 1 or 2 days and then i’ll go back to my nocturnal schedules. 

this time i’ve been desperately trying to sleep early because i want to wake up early to DO important things but whenever i go to sleep, i get anxiety about not being able to sleep and having to wake up early which ends up keeping me up for HOURS before i fall asleep. my brain won’t shut up at first and then despite being insanely tired after a long day my brain is still awake talking to itself for hours and i get anxiety because time is running out which ends up filling my entire body with anxiety and now my body is on full alert that i can’t sleep and it’s been 3-4 hours since i’ve been trying to sleep. i always end up falling asleep somehow but that’s after hours of trying to sleep. 

i don’t know what to do because this is slowly ruining my life and i don’t know how to fix it. is there something i can do to successfully fall asleep from the first try? 

i workout and lift heavy so i’m tired from the gym itself but my mind is still awake and active. i need to sleep in order for my muscle to grow and i can’t even do that properly. 

this is all surrounded by anxiety and the anxiety of having to wake up early. even if i didn’t have to wake up early i’d still find it hard to sleep.

right now i’ve been awake for 20 hours and been trying to sleep for 4 hours and my anxiety is taking over and i can’t sleep even though i’m INSANELY EXHAUSTED

i thrifted a baseball cap and it’s size 8 which is too big for my head, is it possible to shrink it to a size 7?
