I started topical min foam about 5 years ago and after about 2 years decided that I wanted to switch to oral 2.5mg daily because I absolutely hate applying the topical it’s so annoying. However I was really scared of quitting the topical for some reason so I’ve just been using both for like the past 3 years.

Like I said before I hate applying the topical and I want to get a cat and the topical is very toxic to them. I’m thinking of just quitting the topical all together and only sticking with oral 2.5mg. Do you think that would be enough to keep any hair that is dependent on min?

My apartment only has a ptac unit in the living room but no ac unit in both bedrooms. I was thinking about getting a portable AC for my bedroom that I sleep in at night. Unfortunately the windows in my bedroom slide horizontally so I don’t think a window unit would work. I’ve been researching the a little bit and it seems like anything dual hose is the best. They are quite pricey though and part of me hates to spend $500+ on a unit I might only use for summer. But at the same time if they’re worth it then I think it would be worth the investment. So far the one that looks the nicest to me are the Gasbye dual hose models.

Just got a prescription for 0.5mg dut. Been on fin 1mg daily for a little over 5 years now. Most doctors say to just switch and stop taking fin. Would this be okay?

I’ve been working in the accounting department of a medium sized manufacturing company for 3 years now. It’s my first job out of college and my first professional job. It started off pretty good and I learned a lot but then about a year and a half ago I got promoted to a higher paying position in my department. I thought it would be great at first but due to things like lack of training and guidance from my boss I started to lose motivation and have been kind of coasting and just going through the motions since then. I feel like my boss has recognized my lack of motivation but has never said anything the past year. I also haven’t gotten a raise which kind of figures. Tbh though idk if it’s just me because a lot of people in other departments have been quitting lately which makes me wonder if other people also haven’t been getting raises and found other jobs. Then about 6 months ago my boss asked me start taking on some more responsibilities, which I was initially excited about because I thought it might mean that I might get a little bit of a raise but still nothing.

I did plan to start looking for a new job this year but now I’m extremely worried that I might be fired before I can even find a new job. I just found out today through another coworker that my boss is hiring his younger brother to work in our department, and a few days ago the same coworker mentioned that our boss told him some big changes were going to be happening this summer and was asking him about his current workload/responsibilities.

The reason I’m worried is because the position that my bosses brother will supposedly be doing would fall in line exactly with the new responsibilities that my boss had me start doing a few months ago. Which makes feel like my boss doesn’t want me doing that stuff anymore and now I’m very paranoid that they might just let me go all together.

This is my first professional job and I’m worried that if I’m fired it will look really bad when I try to find a new job. How screwed am I?

Looking for a game where it’s easy to meet new people and make friends. I’m so introverted I feel like I need to socialize more lol.

So my situation is that I’ve been using topical foam minoxidil for about 5 years now. I really hate applying the topical so about 3 years ago I decided I wanted to give oral minoxidil a try and have been taking 2.5mg daily since then. However, I was so scared to just stop the topical treatment cold turkey so I started using both simultaneously. Currently I take the oral minoxidil once a day and then apply the topical foam once at night, although I’m somewhat inconsistent about it sometimes.

Anyways I’m thinking about trying to quit the topical for good especially since I want to get a cat and the topical is very toxic to them. However I’m worried that if I quit topical the 2.5mg won’t be enough to maintain my hair. So I guess my question is how much is 2.5mg equivalent too? Like is it the equivalent of someone applying the topical 2x daily?

When I was in college I used to hangout with friends pretty much every weekend. I’ve now been working an office job for a few years and feel like I rarely ever have the urge or interest in hanging out with friends or going to parties/events on the weekends. I spend 40 hours a week surrounded by other people and by the time it gets to Friday night my social battery is nonexistent and besides visiting my parents for a few hours I just want to be alone for 2 days. Like legit I’m so boring lol. Anyone else deal with this?

I’m 25 and was diagnosed with OCD when I was around 6 years old. My parents put me in some form of counseling for a few years as a kid but then took me out because they claimed that I was “better” and didn’t need it anymore. I haven’t done any therapy since then except for a brief online counseling thing a few years ago that didn’t really help much.

For most of my life I’ve told myself that I can manage OCD on my own and control my compulsions and intrusive thoughts. But I think I’m at the point now where I need to just throw in the towel and get actual professional help and possibly be on some type of medication.

I guess my question is where do I begin? Do I see a psychiatrist instead of a regular therapist? How do I find one that is good with OCD patients? I’m also worried about being placed with a therapist that I don’t personally feel comfortable with.

Hi everyone, I’m interested in possibly enrolling in a language school for 1-2 years and trying to move to Japan. My current situation is that I’m 25 and have a bachelors in accounting and currently have a few years experience working as an accountant in the manufacturing industry.

I did have some questions about doing language school. What Japanese level would you recommend I get to before starting language school? I have about 50k in savings but I would still like to be at least proficient enough in Japanese to maybe land a part time job while studying.

I’ve noticed that most language schools are based in Tokyo. Is living in Tokyo the best option for language school and potentially finding work after graduation?

Overall my goal is to get as close to fluency as I possibly can in hopes of finding a job after graduation.
