Doctor gave me 20mg fluoxetine and I had a breakup the minute I stepped out of appointment. I am really emotionally struggling and it’s only the first day. I will be taking it by tomorrow and I want to avoid the initial increase in anxiety. Please can someone guide me if they experienced it and how they managed it. (Also will it help with separation anxiety and abandonment issues?)

He lovebombed me so much and called me all the time and we sat together at campus all the time and he made me feel so happy. He told me we can’t be in a relationship and then he was like let’s not sit together in campus but he still called me all the time and we talked for hours and everything was fine until all of a sudden yesterday he texted me saying he’s getting engaged. I couldn’t stand looking at him at campus today. It hurt my heart so much and my heart is breaking. I want him back knowing it’s not worth it but my heart hurts so much. I don’t know why I am talking about this here I guess I just needed to talk to a woman. (I know he’s not getting engaged he’s just a psychopath and I was his newest victim he has done this before too. He has a type: naive, trusting girls, he deliberately targets them).

I went to a local psych today for OCD, BDD and anxiety/depression and doctor prescribed me Zoloft. I came home and searched it up and literally countless stories of acne. My acne went away two years ago after accutane but acne was the entire reason I developed BDD in the first place and even my OCD started because of this because then I started getting lasers for the scars and obsessed over skincare, sun and cleanlines which is why I have OCD. I’d rather die then have acne again that’s how much I hate acne. I had specifically mentioned to my doctor that I want a medication that is farthest from acne and he gave me this and said there will be no acne or weight gain with this. Can someone guide me.

A piece of shit in my class who I haven’t even talked to thrice told the girl he’s been rizzing up that i have a crush on him and I have absolutely no idea how many people he has said this too. I am scared if this gets out it’s going to do shit to my reputation and then boys won’t approach me (judge me all you want I want a partner in uni). What the hell do you think this is.

Mainstream tells us it’s haram but I don’t see any evidence besides hadith? Is music truly haram or is it another hadith created misconception?

So I was upstairs with my cousin who was going on to her mom about going to some coffee place. Her mom (my aunt) said she has to take shower so I suggested to my cousin lets ask my mom since I already have to go out to buy my cleanser we will go out to the coffee place too. We always go out with the driver at night but I have to ask my mom before that. We came downstairs and I asked my mom if both of us can go. She said okay. We came out of the room and I was going to ask our housekeeper to call the driver and take us both out. She was like she wont go now because it’s late (it was 9pm). I said we have been out at 9 before too so I was very shocked at her reaction. She was suddenly all paranoid about acid attacks and kidnapping and I was like who the hell is going to kidnap two girls in public place. she said this in front of my mom and now she wasn’t letting me go either because in her eyes my cousin is the smartest person and I am the dumbest to ever exist. She told me to go with my dad but I was sick of my dad because he’s whining about spending money and my skincare all the time. I needed to use that cleanser because I have hypersensitive skin and cannot use any other chemical cleanser everyone use and my cleanser was completely empty. So I told my cousin Its all her fault (not fault-fault but I said “this is all happening because of you, you could have just spoken to me instead of my mom”) and she refused to admit she did something wrong. She knows my mom respects her opinion a lot more than she does mine if she hadn’t said it my mom would have had no problem sending me alone. and even my mom was siding with her and yelling at me right in front of her and now both of them believe I am an asshole.

Like ive been going to university for like 4 months and have a friendgroup (only 4 people aka our who department because my batch only has 7 people). Their behaviour towards me is extremely weird.

Like when in class I mentioned my parents want me to go for foreign opportunities they were like “they are probably sick of you” and then laughed and went like “some things you need to keep to yourself”,

then we went out (only three of us) and the two girls kept talking to each other and didn’t talk to me once nor even made eye contact. Even showing something on phone they only showed each other and not me. Then we went to eat a dessert and i took a bite and i told them its not good and one of them went like “don’t eat then” extremely disrespectfully.

When I mentioned my replica clothes all three went like (talking to each other and not me) “I never buy replica clothes if you cant afford original why buy replica” i even mentioned to them repeatedly that it was disrespectful and they refuse to believe they said something wrong.

One of them even said i am yellow (like my skin color) when everyone always tells me my skin looks extremely fresh. Then the same person proceeded to call me tan (I am literally the palest person in my house) and refused to admit there was something wrong with what she said (I called her fat in return so it feels good. Also in our culture, tan is the worst thing you can call someone, pale is the beauty standard here).

Also, they almost never give me any compliments. Like they compliment each other all the time but never me. Even when i show the pictures they always nitpick (your pose isnt good, light isnt goof etc) when they never do it with each other.

The day when I was fasting (all of us are Muslims) the three of them proceeded to say we should go out to eat and i told them (again) that I am fasting and one told me to just go home so they can go out to eat. It wont kill you to eat at home for once girls and then they proceeded to order food and eat in front of me (one of them even said we should show off to her, etc).

Also, when I talk they dont listen. Like if they are talking and i say something they will proceed to talk, ignoring me, or listen with bland expressions and then go back to talking about what they were.

They take snaps together but never with me. Like they will actively be doing poses and not invite me in and once i just sat next to them for a selfie and she proceeded to keep me out of the frame.

Also, they disrespect me a lot. Like the way they talk to me is like they are talking to an idiot who is beneath them. Disrespecting me, putting down my opinions, calling me dumb. Ive tried to set boundaries many times but they dont care. They just keep doing the same.

Am I reading too much or am i cooked?

I often shop from Khaadi or limelight and even the S and XS sizes are so freaking loose fitted. It doesn’t help that I am lean too and I need something that fits rather than hiding. Any recommendations?

I have done five IPL treatments for PIE and while my PIE is 90% gone my barrier is wrecked. I don't have any burning or peeling thankfully but I cannot go in the sun without ruining my PIE. I need to wear sunscreen, a mask and cover my face with a book to avoid the sun. I cannot use any skincare outside of very boring moisturiser, sunscreen or cleanser and occasional hyaluronic acid. My curly hair products brushed my face and it ruined my PIE and I had to get another IPL treatment so I cannot use any hair products either. I can't go near steam, or heat. Heat is more tolerable now, it does redden my PIE but goes back to normal when I am cool again. I've been doing all this for a year and my skin is nowhere near recovered to old resilience. My last PIE treatment was in February and I can't do any more treatments because it's summer now and I have to go to university regularly and cannot take time off for the downtime. I want to use a topical but I am scared because of all these reactions. I used vitamic C serum once 6 weeks after my first session (only around my mouth and not even on the targeted area) and my PIE became worse the next morning. I cannot go for gradual reconditioned because it took me very long to fix my skin and I cannot risk setbacks and can't to any treatments either. Please help a girl out.

I tried chatgpt it and it told me it's not barrier issue but inflammatory issue. I still live with my parents so can't go to a dermatologist without permission. What do I do.

I am 19F and I feel do undesirable. I don't think I am ugly and every morning I wake up thinking I look pretty and then I go to university. I've been going to university for 2 months and I haven't been approached once, no guy would even randomly talk to me or sit with me. My class only has two boys and whenever I try to talk to them they just quickly finish the entire talk. When we are in group they'd rather talk to my friends than me. My friend has spent a semester here and she has received so many instagram requests and DMs and approached so much. I spent three years on treating my skin so I could finally feel pretty and then this happens and I doubt myself again. I also have BDD so I feel like I look different in every mirror, my pictures come out horrible while my friends look amazing in pictures. My friends always compliment each other and never compliment me (very rarely do they and it's almost never about my face). I feel so freaking undesirable. Male attention is very important for me and it's important for me to be desired and liked for my looks. I put so much effort into my looks and I don't often think that I am ugly or unattractive but I get almost no compliments on my looks and no attention from boys and it breaks me and I feel so depressed. I just want to be desired like every other woman why is that so much to ask for. It's easy to say "decenter men" when you've had your fill of male attention. I've rarely had it and have received all but two Instagram requests in two months at uni.

I hate everything at this point. I don't feel like doing anything and I don't feel like going to uni when I used to love going there and I feel depressed all the time and I am unable to get up from bed in the mornings. I just want to feel desirable for once.
