Hey. I don’t like my eyebrows and don’t do anything to them aside from occasionally cleaning them up, to sometimes *maybe* filling them in. Because they suck.

Can anyone recommend a good cheap eyebrow gel? My hair is also pretty coarse if that helps. And I don’t want to look laminated. I’m tired of buying wrong products. That’s how I end up with a billion “permanent” eyeliners or infinite numbers of highlighters! Just want something to the point.

This is a share of what I’m feeling. I’m talking from a place of sadness and hurt. I don’t need negative posts.

I don’t let myself go down the path of body dysmorphia. I try to cbt train myself with thought stopping techniques. I haven’t taken a body shot photo in about 6+yrs (since giving birth). But it’s ok. Bc one day I will again. And of course, mostly, I’m just beating myself up. All of this i can handle for myself. I hate that I hate my look. I hate how my brain processes my thoughts. And I hate having to act like there’s nothing on my mind, meanwhile all I’m thinking is about my weight, about how I look. But like I said, I can accept that I won’t be hot again.

Now, where I’m fcked up is how I’m perceiving people. I’m hyper focused on weight on other people. Wondering about how they’re dressing. And how ‘bad’ it looks. Or ask myself how could they have the courage to wear a crop top while I WOULDNT. Ugly thoughts. But I can let it go easily.

Where im really fcked is how I view my 6yo son. Hes probably in the 90 percentile. He’s huge. He’s chunky but mostly he’s just really big. Like an athlete in the making. But he’s thick.

I need to learn if there’s a way to get over body dysmorphia. Ha. Easy request. I’m starting to give my son a complex about his weight. I tell him he’s chunky. Point or poke at his belly. Tell him he’s gonna be fat. I perceive him to be… fat 😭 (and God do I feel like shit for thinking something like that) and it really triggers me. It makes me physically sick to be constantly thinking about my body and to see how that carries over. No one knows how dark my thoughts are bc I do a good job at masking it.

Aside from compartmentalizing, can this ever get better????

This allergy season + contacts are making my eyes trash!!!! I’m also 41. I’ve never really worn eye cream. Just a handful of times. But now I’m starting to get natural dryness I suppose. But not only that, I’m a habitual notorious eye rubber. And my eyes are soooo dry. Skin and eye. Working on the eyes. But desperately need hydrating under eye creams (separate day and night)!! I bought some cos x patches but they’re annoying to put on. So a cream is what I’m looking for.

Thanks in advance.

Hey all. I have a 6yo boy who gets invited to a few amt of bday parties. I’ve always been creative when I get gifts for anyone and also try n think outside of the box. For kids tho, I find myself buying a lot from Target. Amazon has such cheap stuff that I’m thinking a lot of parents buy at Target which makes me believe that it is very probable for a kid to get repeat presents if we’re all pretty much buying at the same place. Especially if the child really likes a particular character. Like, if the child really likes Mario Bros, they probably already have a ton of Mario toys. And for this reason I always give gift receipts!

But now I’m wondering if it looks tacky or weird. I’m super practical. I’m just trying to essentially make it easy for the parents. My partner feels that if I’m giving a gift receipt that I might as well be giving them a gift card. 🤷‍♀️.

Aside from over thinking this, should I include a gift receipt with tomorrow’s presents?!? Lol.

Thanks for tuning in! Lol

I’m always using my prime acct and *try* to save up my points. But sometimes I use them even if I’ve accumulated $5!!!!! So I’ve been better about not using them and had $30 in points. Problem is when I went to use them, I notice that I’d selected a relatives address so immediately cancelled so I can replace my order for home. Problem is… points are no longer listed 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭. Will I ever get them back? Maybe Amazon is just waiting for the cancelation (even tho it was approved) to finalize to reimburse me??? Or am I kissing it goodbye?

I don’t go to the movies often. Bc of obv reasons. But this is a daytime movie. So even tho it will be dark in there and I think the chairs are comfy… but yea! I’m hoping to make it thru!!!!

Send vibez!! 😁😁😁

Sigh. How do u guys deal with partners, spouses, *children* who just don’t “get it”?

I’ve been having albeit a lot of symptoms lately. I know it’s annoying to probably hear about it. But like, can’t they just imagine how it ACTUALLY feels to go thru it all?????

I just mentioned a strong headache to my other and he’s like- is there ever a time where ur just fine? Lately, the answer is NO!! Not even a day. So I showed him a video about hormone fluctuations n I know he wasn’t paying attn. so I told him next time find a younger gf (I’m 10yrs older lol).

Having to educate others is exhausting. Especially when I don’t understand it all myself. I just want to be left alone under a rock rn lol.

Hi my ladies. Hopefully there are peri-menopause ladies here!!

How do u know when your extra sleepiness and fatigue is caused by peri? I’m trying to figure out the correct doctor to yell at lol.

I take Adderral, which isn’t working, I off an on take modafinil and that shit just makes me more tired. Ambien and or trazadone, temezepam for sleep. Nothing works. I’m up all nights of the hours. Also eating at those hours. Spend my day barely breathing from the sleepiness. Take like 3 naps- hours long. So while I never felt truly regulate, I’m feel completely deregulated!!!

It’s felt completely worst for the last 2 yrs which I suspect is when I started falling into peri as well. I just can’t do it anymore!! When I’m driving, all I want to do is close my eyes. My house is a mess. Brain fog doesn’t help. Don’t know if it’s the N or P.

Is there a hack? I’d love to hear experiences from other peri women with narcolepsy or even IH or EDS. Any experience whether ur tx is working or not.
