Why does literally no one talk about chronically ruminating/staying attached to the *GOOD* past?

I’ve new books this… ever since quarantine. Almost other year (with some exceptions of course, as well) my years have turned out like a dream, like absolutely amazing euphoria. Now this is tied to my personal, self-explainable psychology. But when I try to research this exact phenomenon, the net just spits up: “thinking of the past increases\\\[bad reactions\\\]” or links it to some things related to anxiety, depression, really negative states of feeling. When you look up the good, it associates it directly with nostalgia…. This isn’t nostalgia.

It’s rumination but for a time you can no longer cling on to, a time you once had, but now—every damn Time—your heart may shatter at mere distantly-related reminders of those memories or flicks. It’s as if it’s supposed to pain you, on purpose. You have no other way out other than seeking your own way out—but how, if you feel absolutely helpless in your present.

Small, blister-like, invisible bumps appearing on palms. What could this be?

I don’t have Dyshidriotic derm. Before anyone brings that up… or nah skin condition for that matter. But rarely(i noticed this some years ago as well) i get these tiny, benign bumps on different areas of my palms. When i feel over them, it feels very sensitized. But it’s non-itchy and not severe in any way. Lately, I’ve had terrible insomnia, nervous system issues, some constipation, etc. I don’t know if those are connective enough as signs or symptoms.

Could this also be an effect of using fragrant, slightly harsh hand soaps or products?

Anyone else remember this protein treats brand? What even on earth happened to them??

So sometimes I go to the local WF—and of course, for me at least, that’s one of the *few* ever stores in my city that sells healthy, plant-based sweet treats and snacks. Sometimes, I tend to reminisce on the snacks they only had over a year ago-3 years ago when i had begun shopping them. I love Wf evolution—don’t get me wrong—but sometimes I’ll miss the Deux raw cookie doughs, and variety of chocolate chip cookie dough trays, the puddings, the non-dairy dairy subs in the fridges, etc. Now for me, besides Deux having disappeared from mine, I start to wonder about BHU’s cookie dough protein treats. Those were my *favorite * in summer of ‘23! An aquired taste, but so good. I think i remember still buying them until mid 2024. After that, i think they just kinda disappeared off the protein bar shelves and fridges. They sold both the bars and the bagged bites at mine—both were amazing. I’d typically go for the bites. Now i go on a hunt for them and hardly finds reliable source regarding their website’s store locator. So i go check my nearby sprout’s (don’t typically shop there at all, and for obvious reasons $) DoorDash page—and there u have it… except the prices…. i see the fuckin $20 marking for an average bag of their truffles and It ruins my whole mood for trying. Then I check with the website itself…. And it only appears worse. Wtf???? Can someone explain this?

WTW for “over time” as an adverb in the middle of a sentence?

If i wanna completely replace saying “over time” in a sentence to describe inching forward over a period of time exponentially, what are some good adverbs to use. Ex: “I discovered these psychological concepts and learned more about them [over time] to get to this achievement.”

WTW for a chic location that holds a whole bunch of stores, some boutiques, and eateries and restaurants?

I can’t give examples for everyone but what do you call these vast hotspot locations like The Grove or Westfield at Topanga (these are in LA). They’re places for spectacles like nice statues and pools of water. They are visually the nicest.

Did Jung ever explore why some people tend to chain themselves to their good memories over consciously staying in present?

In spite of the subjects, topics, and phenomena we’re all familiar with, I instead wonder if Jung ever covered or did his own individualized deep-dive on the pathology and significant events and states of those who tend to sentimentally or poignantly attach to the good past; memories and feelings of a past that once existed in just fleeting moments pushing a craving or unmet desire.

Any well-rated, preferred cafes that offer to serve in cups or mugs?

I am looking for any high-rated popular or casual cafes that may offer to serve in mugs or cups as a side option. Do cafes now ever even still do this? Anywhere from 6-17 miles from SCV—or if there’s even one that you know that serves with them in the city itself, do tell.

Please help w/ any knowledge you have: how do I find a specific therapist of my choice, like a psychoanalyst, accepting insurance?

Hi so i asked a similar question bout this on r psychoanalysis i think, before. Many suggested that I go visit psychologytoday.com. So i did, i used the the finder page to the best of my ability to narrow down my needs and find one for me. However, they were still all privatized and costly practitioners. What do I do? Thing is, i talked to my last therapy clinic person, i told him i wanna be able to scroll through, and actually choose profiles of who will fit my needs. Is that possible? He sounded very agreeable.

But instead he found one for me and she was still some typa student, I don’t remember. Their website doesn’t let you actually select anyone either. It just shows some of the issues most of them can help deal with. And on top of that, my selected plan was just regular talk therapy. I am not someone who works well with tt. It doesn’t do nearly anything for me, a few tips are definitely helpful and useful, but it doesn’t address my heavy needs. I just really wanna choose a type of special therapy and a therapist.

Anyone know any brands or lip color products that are made hypoallergenic and sensitive-skin-friendly?

Every lipstick i try, without fragrances of any kind even, and even with slight pigment or color(including titanium dioxide, like Henne’s lip tint) goes on to irritate and dry tf out of my lips. They get dry and flakey af, like they’re easily being exfoliating at early contact. Yesterday i again worse my Soshe lip silk, but i even had some unscented all natural balm under neath it. It still ended up this way. My lips are basically extremely sensitive.

What gov. website(s) should I go to to find financial aid for issues like home rentals, student scholarships maybe?

So I’m totally new to this finding these, and need instant help on this rn. So far from quick research all I found was the U.S. Department of treasury’s emergency rental program. But apparently, “The period of performance for ERA2 awards has ended. ERA2 grantees may no longer use ERA2 award funds to assist renters.” And it’s just difficult to find what I’m looking for and have a chance to apply. Isn’t this the right website? I know fafsa helps as well as i am also a student in the kiddos of schooling as we speak and I could use that. But all i know about fafsa is that it’s financial aid that can cover some or maybe total tuition. Not sure how eligible i am, and if they have other types of assistance.

Btw… My case here is that I need money to help rent a house with a roommate hopefully as well, if possible. But i am in the awaiting stage of getting a job(staffing agency*, not regular) and i may still have to apply to more. I don’t have anyy other savings or anything. It is an emergency situation.

Therapist couldn’t help out my mood swings and ADHD crash

It’s a long story really. It’s been stressful, can’t and too helplessly depleted in Dopamine and who knows, what other neurotransmitters to explain it all now and explicitly. All I’m saying is, I’m a college student (21F) and in desperate need of free resource links or any good tips yall have to get myself back to finishing my essay up and going on to my next assignments. It’s been difficult the past few days in a row*. I feel, so so weak. My ADHD has been in a place where now my Dopamine’s become low (quite rare, tbh) and i have been fearfully laying off these big, hefty assignments for just this one class.

Today, luckily was the day to speak with my anxiety based therapist, and she didn’t really offer the most effective, and holistically helpful advice in my opinion. I’m still stuck in this mental and physical rut. Help.

Please help: stuck in a stress bound college class rut, need advice

Last week as you may know Canvas got shut down randomly because of the hackers and also last week, in my argumentation course, I was assigned to organize my speech and essays. It’s not even been a week yet at all, and yet I had to do two essays over since last Thursday or Friday and it was extended, not officially and originally, due on a Monday,

It was originally due on Sunday, but later, after my professor had probably gotten flooded with emails telling her that they need more time, she decided to just extend it for only one day. Over Friday through Sunday, was struggling with the idea that canvas was shut out from us temporarily. And due to the I think 2 whole days that I was unable to access it, in the middle of this, I started getting procrastination anxiety or worries. And by Saturday or Sunday night I don’t remember exactly which, I checked the school email again, and just then I had realized that just hours before, the school Tech team or body had sent a big announcement saying they got it back on and we may continue our usual daily work on there yadyadayada. Seeing this and not expecting it after seeing all the most recent news and having seen the last emails I was in shock. And with the procrastination issue/anxiety, i got a dopamine crash which was probably unrelated… but basically i felt too drained to go on with my big assignments for this class.

Classes have been stressful enough this semester alone. But this one class expecting me to get not one but two essays done with all these expectations for it of course, within only 3-4 days was crazy. I’m just not used to this short period, but i also acknowledge and already know how this professor works, it’s just been a while. But still my mental state’s been really affected because of this (rare to occur fyi) and I’ve lost hours of sleep and not even slept throughly because this has been stressful to smoothly, try to complete.

So, middle of yesterday, i emailed her and told her what’s up but honestly and this is bad on me, I made a promise that Iwas very uncertain I’d be keeping or fulfilling finally, I told her at the end of I could just have a last chance to submit it by the end of the day(both essays—and yes both were released, and due at the same day, Monday. And on top, we have to make a speech out of those 😀.) she was gracious and sweet enough to give me til that time. But, when I tried to get on and continue my work i had somewhat begin on earlier… the stress and mental load came intensely crashing on me again. I become immediately stressed and anxious too.. started crashing and immediately took a step back, once again like the night before.

Earlier btw, I had went all the way over to campus to see if the Academic Accommodations were in so I could out of some responsibility, seek advice and assurance from their counselor team and ask general questions to the receptionists—out of all days now, they decided to be off for the rest of the day unbeknownst to me

INCI scanner app making the Lake dyes information slightly confusing and vague.

If anyone else has the INCI app, highly recommend but sometimes just a bit hard or shooting to use in terms of finding your exact needs in search/research, can you fact check or clarify why they label like maybe every, lake dyes (only them, not iron oxides and others) as a “yellow” penalty mark, and not orange and don’t give adequate yields about it?? Correct me on this, if all synthetic lake dyes are usually coal tar derived, making them conclusively and undoubtedly petroleum-derived, then why do they only get the “yellow” one? Why not also specifically give description at the top, adding they’re petroleum derived and can lead to potentially, X Y Z? This is odd, let me know what’s missing.

So sometimes I oddly see the Oeko Tex on literally mixed-synthetic fabrics or even, purely polyester ones?? So like, the other day a reel popped up of this girl exposing how almost all affordable target blankets are synthetic, and so she showed the whole exact label to also influence for viewers to check more closely, next time—well the “100% recycled polyester” was Oeko Tex 100 certified. What does that even mean??

Imo, seems shady to do that.

A couple things: which do you have? And how often and how severely does it occur on the lips? I have Seb derm, and no matter what quality lip oils(none that are for people with eczema for what I know) I try, I alwayss get it them. I have the Burt’s bees lip oil in clear day, and two colored (but naturally scented) ones from Inn Beauty. All of which are scented…. I think that’s where the issue comes in. My lip balm(normal type), is just unscented and uncolored, and organic—it’s rather super quickly hydrating and fairly emollient. I have had no problems with it, but since using these lip oils and having sensitivity issues (general) they’re been flaking precisely because of the lip oil addition. Oh and, not to mention I made the stupid mistake of purchasing the Kosas oil gloss(also scented but VERY, badly drying and flaking). That was the first lip oil I got before the clear BB one. It ruined/still is able to ruin me. Also my tinted (but unscented) lip balm from Henne feels a bit uncomfortable and sensitizing, which is WEIRD because only some iron oxides are added and the color’s very sheer, and abrely there anyway… there’s nothing other than that.. some of the main ingredients in the small list include Castor oil(literally also in my lip balm), caprylic triglycerides, and Jojoba oil(also in my lip balm, LOL along with the obvious beeswax base). Super weird, and confusing. I wonder if it’s the overtaken(if that’s what it is—and yes the pigments are all the last listed) pigment powder mixture.

Do any of you also own just scented lip oils, and what has been the solution after these experiences?

Also wanna mention I still technically have SD, I really do, but it started out moderate to somewhat severe, then became overall moderate and now has slowly been healing well. But I still experience these few, tentative and random symptoms.

So yesterday, i went on the Sephora sub just once, once in a couple months Kona thing btw. All because I needed to make a question post out of need. I checked the rules first though, because I know this must be a commonly posted topic, and apparently there wasn’t anything against this. I did check the former questions asked regarding this too, just to check before I jumped to posting—there was nothing about it! Nothing close even. But yk what? Just a bunch of the same, insufferable bullshit.. a typical fucbunch of typical Reddit Sephora shoppers and MEGAfans posting their day to day, typical consumerist crap. So annoying, let me be real. It’s always the same blinded, overconsumerist stuff: “OMG, O JESUS THEY JUST CAME OUT WITHT RHE ALL NEW xyz PRODUCT IVE BEEN DYINGGG, HANDS GLUED ON MY KNEES AND ALL, TO GET. WHO ELSE IS THIRSTING OCER THIS?!” “Gonna turn on my notifs for this one, n be among THE FIRST to check this out and spend another 350 bucks to access this [said perk(s)]”

Lol. I will admit, among the several reasons I’m starting to get real bitter about this sub is because truly, most of the shopper posters on there are overtly brainwashed and seem like they obsess over this stuff too much.

Only reason why I’m ever there is just to ask a question or post something that actually needs to be posted and get a couple actual shoppers’ thoughts or feedback on it also. Which has literally been these passed 1-2x, no interest in the rest of it by any means. That one time that I ever saw someone’s post pop up only on my home feed (for based on my interests etc. recommendation) I remember I replied to them because they genuinely were seeking answers and help/clarification etc. on something only oof which I would have ethos in regarding my sufficient knowledge and guidance on the matter. I replied, (totally relevant response btw) and guess what?

I end up getting a bunchh, of dvs out of no where and some weird backlash(basically, weren’t so in favor of or in support of OP’s post/concerns either). Yup, yup says everything. And so for that question that I finally ended up posting last night, I found out just now upon checking, that mods just removed it (with no rule-reason cited). Weird sub, weird community altogether; not to mention, one part of the members or users even complain of the grumpy, sore haters’ hate on there as well.
