i know i can’t drive or take stimulats and i remember not to do. is cured meat of concern? bacon, salami, etc. right now i want ham and i don’t know.

at my most recent dentist visit i expressed concern about staining on my teeth and he suggested i use peroxyl mouthwash. i picked it up and have been using it before brushing 2x a day but noticed today it says not to use more than seven days in a row. just wanted a second opinion since its going to be a while before i can see my dentist again.

I struggled profoundly with mental illness from 17-20 and spent that time in and out of institutions. I’ve been taking classes intermittently at a local community college this past year. My circumstance right now would let me transfer to a four year college but I’m getting cold feet.
My initial plan was to major in illustration, I’m creative and fantasized for a very long time about a career illustrating children’s books but I don’t know if I could support myself doing that. I think it would be better to go into a more ai-resistant industry. I’m very interested in healthcare and lifestyle medicine.. I also need to hone my networking and communication skills but don’t really know how to go about doing that.
I feel very aimless. I dont know where to go from here.

The area is in the back, toward my perineum, only on the right side of my body. It’s itchy, swollen, and has a ton of small bumps that resemble whiteheads. I had a herpes outbreak last year and this is very different, there is no tingling and the bumps are smaller and spaced out (not clusters like herpes). I’m suspecting folliculitis as I shave that area often. I don’t have any of the discharge that is characteristic of a yeast infection. I noticed the problem just this morning.
I take very good care of my vagina, eat well, clean the area surrounding it with water and unscented soap every day, and use Venus’ daily PH-balanced ingrown serum with lactic acid and aloe every day. Could this product be causing or worsening the issue?
At the moment, I’m not seeing any specialists (dermatologist, gynecologist, anything like that) so I’m very reluctant to post to reddit but I also don’t have very many options. TIA.

I’m turning twenty one in a few weeks and I’m so scared of my future and dissatisfied with my life. I live with my parents still and can’t get myself into school or hold down a job. I still can’t even drive. I decided a year ago that i was getting to old for this (I’ve been struggling since sixteen) and was in a solid period of remission but this past week I’ve been purging sporadically. Once at my boyfriends house. Once after a particularly large meal. And this evening was really bad. I b/ped for two hours and the feeling immediately after was torture. I feel like the same sick, scared, and humiliated 16 y/o girl I was when I first started suffering. I feel ridiculously stunted. I don’t know where to go from here. any advice would be appreciated
