Ive never had acne much until recently, when I started getting acne likely due to the high stress ive been experiencing for the past month (I get married next weekend). Anyways, I started my job as a shop technician for a drill bit company, and I am constantly covered in dirt, dust, grease, etc. My skin is getting worse by the minute and Ive accepted unfortunately I will probably look gross on my wedding day because of it. But, what do I do? I look dirty and like I dont take care of myself. I wash my face every day after work but nothing changes. My fiance works outside as a line locater and his skin is clear without even washing it 😫

Anyone who has any tips pls let me know. Im running out of ideas.

I just got back from trying on wedding dresses today. I found dresses i absolutely love but all I could think about was how fat and ugly I felt. This made me realize how long ive been alive and how nothing has changed. Does it rlly ever go away? I hate everything about myself. My body, my face, my personality and my whole being. I feel like i deserve nothing. Will this ever change or is this just life? I dont know what to do and why im even writing this on the internet but im just tired of feeling like this.

Every time im starting to get hungry i feel super sick for hours. Like as my food digests. And then, im hungry and fine. Does anyone else have this? It scares me bc.. yk. Every time I think "this is it" just to be hungry af right away

Im 19 next month and just got engaged. My aunts and grandmothers are judging me, as well as people I know around my age, for being engaged so young. I love him and we've been together since we were freshly 16. How do you not let it get to you? They keep telling me it won't last because our brains arent developed yet.

I got braces one week ago and at first one felt poky but as the days went on each wire started feeling sharper and going in deeper. They are cut short and curved to avoid poking but my cheeks are so close to the wire ends and my teeth that they just naturally dig in. I dont know how I can deal with this for the duration of having braces. Without wax the pain is unbearable and I immediately start bleeding in my mouth from all sides. My boyfriend has braces and says he never had this issue. He doesnt have chubby cheeks like me and it makes me wonder if I need to lose weight just to not feel this??

My boyfriend's family has 2 huskies that are severely neglected. Theyre kept in a 10'x10' gated area in the backyard. They get no attention, walks, or anything. His dad bought them for his mom who decided after they were no longer puppies that she doesnt care about them. They've been trying to rehome them for years. His mom is the one who is doing the neglecting. The dad works out of town and has little control over what goes on while hes away. My boyfriend works 10 hour days and doesnt have the time to take care of his family's pets. He only has time to feed them and give them water.

The dogs cannot even go inside the house. They arent aggressive around people or other dogs, but they are cat killers. He has 1 housecat left after the other 2 snuck out of the house (one last year, one this year) and were ripped to pieces by the dogs.

We need to rehome them. Nobody wants 2 huskies with no training and that cannot be around cats. They dont want to surrender them as the shelter would probably just put them down. Help!! The dogs deserve a better life than they have. Me and him want to rehome them as his parents are too lazy to. Pls I need advice.

Im on the end of day 3 with braces. I thought the worst of it would be the tooth pain. I was so wrong. My entire mouth is shredded to pieces and eating is literal human torture. No matter how much advil I take nothing helps the fact my braces are shredding my mouth apart. My cheeks are so swollen because of it that I look like a chipmunk. How long does this last? Because Id rather break both my legs myself than go through this again. Even drinking water is so painful. Every mouth movement rips my inner mouth apart back to front. Pls help. I cant do this bro

I just got my bite turbos put on and they give me such an uncomfortable nerve feeling. Like how it feels when you eat something sour and your mouth stings. Does this feeling go away? Biting makes me get goosebumps its awful.

Has anyone had serotonin syndrome and how did you fix it? I cant afford to go to the hospital. Im not seizing or unconscious so I dont think its fatal for me but still its moderate. I feel like im on drugs.

I accidentally mixed a bunch of dayquil with high dose sertaline, wellbutrin, and caffeine. Im super agitated and freaking out at everything and so confused what do I do to fix it

So my boyfriend 18M needs so much sleep that when he sleeps the amount of a normal person's sleep hours he needs like a 6 hour nap during the day. If hes uninterrupted he will sleep from typically 12 am to 3 pm.. just to go back to bed at 12 am again and repeat the cycle. He is not an athlete or anything so I dont understand why he needs so much sleep. Should we be worried? Its gotten worse over the years but hes always been a long sleeper. He once even fell asleep at the wheel and almost accidentally killed himself and his siblings. Its not narcolepsy tho. He doesnt just fall asleep out of nowhere typically but the second hes slightly comfortable he will. When he was in highschool hed sleep 12 hours at night and then all through his classes.

Im curious. What would you consider for each class based on household income? What is the most accurate range for each?

I feel like im drunk/high 😩 is that typical? Its been years since ive had an increase. Im only on day 1 of my increase.. i also take wellbutrin so its definitely a weird mix as my wellbutrin makes anxiety and derealization worse for me.

My boyfriend's cat went missing 2 months ago. I was just informed that the cat was killed by a neighbor's dog and his family didnt want us to know because they know how much we love him. I feel he deserves to properly grieve instead of feeling the disappointment every day that his kitty is gone and scared and alone if he is still alive. I feel i cant keep such a thing from him. Should I tell him or just take it to the grave??

So my boyfriend's living with his parents along with many younger siblings and we've noticed a rotting meat-like smell coming from the garage. Me and him have looked all around and cant find the source. The reason why im so worried is because his cat has been missing for about a month and a half now since him and his parents went on vacation while the younger siblings were babysat at the house. They (the siblings) are terrible at caring for their pets so I have a feeling if their cat was locked in the garage they would be so ignorant they wouldn't even notice. Anyways, the smell is horrible and I cannot find the source. I want to know if its a mouse or something that died in there or if god forbid the cat. How can I locate it??

I have a really bad sense of smell so its hard for me to find the location.. 😕

Also his garage is really messy and crowded and thats why its especially hard to find the source. Its a huge garage as well (3 car garage)

As long as I can remember, Ive been addicted to food. When I was a little kid I used to climb up to the top of the pantry in the middle of the night and grab like 5 granola bars to eat in my room. My parents always fed me well so I dont know why I have the eating habits I do. Nobody in my family is overweight, underweight, or suffers from any disordered eating. Yet, I eat more than a professional athlete on a sedentary day. FYI, I'm not clinically overweight. I show visible signs of normal weight obesity (skinny fat). My bmi is 22.5 but my body stores so much fat that my waist is 31 inches (im 5'7 and 145 lbs).

Anyways, Im always hungry. The feeling of hunger and craving of food is always there. Even when my stomach feels full I get hunger pangs and my brain tells me to eat 5 mins later. Ive been like this forever.

But this makes me wonder... how do other people eat an average 1500-2000 without feeling like they'll die of starvation?

Im wondering if anybody has had a similar experience and if its a result of just my own gluttony or some sort of hormonal or nutrient imbalance or something. Help!! I am unable to lose weight without feeling like im starving to death.

Im 18 almost 19 (F) and I have zero money. Im working on getting my career really started (Almost a 2nd year electrical apprentice) but havent started college yet. I have 0 savings and I graduated in 2025. Am I behind? I dont even have a car...

​

Am I behind? Does anyone have frugal savings tips? I make like 250 a week but am too busy to get a second job.

I (18F) live in Canada and im wondering if anyone knows how to get cheap dental work that is actually trustworthy. I only work part time min wage and cant afford to get my wisdom teeth removed. How can I make it cheaper without going to shady places?

I grew up in an abusive household. As a result, ive never had any self of sense esteem. As a child, I was name called, bullied, belittled, etc every moment and that did seemingly irreparable damage on how my brain works. I lack self awareness because I am so insecure I cant decipher between my insecurity and being awful and unlikeable. Is there any way to fix this? Its put a strain on my life since childhood. Im unsure on what to do...

I struggle with emetophobia and severe contamination ocd. I refuse to eat fast food because im scared that I'll get sick either from the food or people handling it. There are many foods I refuse to eat from these places. I only slightly trust fancy restaurants and even then there are foods I'll never try because of my fear (oysters etc). Im scared of chicken but eat it because I dont want to seem weird. I force myself to eat when my family wants to go out to dinner. I check reviews top to bottom and sweat in nervousness if someone wants to go get food. Is this typical or bordering on arfid territory? I also only trust food made by specific people. I only eat at other people's houses out of the fear of seeming rude, but the whole thing terrifies me the entire time. I end up hungry all day and am only able to eat without fear when I eat processed snacks that dont require cooking. When I cook meats and eggs I overcook them out of the fear of getting sick from it.
