Ive had acne for years now (started in 5th grade ;-;) almost all over my body, chest, back, and obviously, my face. But i never had acne on my neck. My chin, sure, but not not my neck.

As of a few weeks ago i started breaking out on my neck. Again, ive never had this before, so i kinda freaked out. I have a really bad skin picking problem so i picked, and it obviously got worse and spread. I initially thought it was left over product getting on my neck, so i started washing my neck aswell as my face. It tamed it for sure, but it hasnt gone away. Infact i just got two (maybe more) new bumps.

It is all over my neck, behind my ears, on the back of my neck, out in front, everywhere.

Ive looked up reasons and the only thing i can really point to is my period (i have nexplanon in, and if you dont know, periods can last for months) but i just need to find a solution because my dads been saying i look “methy” and its just kinda a bad look to be a receptionists at a skin care place, and have fucked up skin.
What can i do?

I’ve canceled my appointment like twuce now because im scared of trying it… but my phych says it could be very beneficial for me?
For context i have bi-polar, c-ptsd, depression, anxiety, and ADHD

Guys wtf, i know nexplanon can make your periods last longer, but this is crazy!!!

I started my period right before August, like the 31 of July, and now its *still going???* Like getting stronger too? I thought it ended last week. Last weekend i didn’t really bleed for like 2 days, and then Tuesday i started having bloody/brown discharge. Ok, whatever, thats normal when i start/end my period. Welp the very next day it came back with a vengeance. And it just wont stop and its so intense rn idk what to do.

Im looking for a lock box for my phone and ipad. Amazon is flooded with AI slop. Anything that i find/like usually has mixed reviews (with obvious AI reviews) so im just having a hard time trusting anything.
Im looking for a timed lock box, not just one i can open with a code whenever i want. It has to be big enough for my ipad too! Not just my phone, and im stupid and have a hard time understanding dimensions.
So any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :D

Or like a reading would be nice to

I wont post a picture because i like to be anonymous on reddit

But what ever
I just really really want to fix things with my ex it just feels hopeless. I honestly think it is hopeless, like im coming to reddit about this like wtf??
Should i just focus on myself and my healing journey? What should i expect in my future? What can i do to help myself move forward instead of being stuck??
Is there any chance? I knew him for 4 years. And its all just gone… poof! Like non of it mattered.
And then there was the next guy. I completely miss read his signals and went crazy on him. Even when he was reaching out and trying to reconnect i just pushed him away and harassed him (drunk calling, asking his friends about him, the works) i just kept getting in my own way and rushing the relationship before realizing i was manic again. Just making my symptoms worse.
I wont be surprised if this post is removed or ignored because yall probably get questions like this constantly. I just wanna know how to move forward, and know if ill ever find love again?? Idk this is a hail marry. Rught now i just wish i could have those two really good people back in my life with out the fear and embarrassment

First day starting my piano routine again!! Gonna really commit to practicing everyday for at least 15 minutes a day. Not hard at all lol!!! If anyone could offer words of encouragement that would be really helpful!!!

Ive been trying to quit all summer. I made it 4 days… 4 days back in July… but i keep smoking. I have zyns, and i use them when im at work, but I’m having a hard time committing to zyns, and continue to rummage through ash trays to get my fix… what can j do to make the transition easier?? How can i push through and just use the zyns i have instead of smoking??

Hey there, just another person looking for some advice

I was SAed back in early june late may, and its been hard to recover and move on. Im not as depressed as i was before… i have a job now, and my friends have been a huge help!! But how do i get out of those depression habbits? On my days off i aim to be better; do better!! But i just keep falling behind, laying in my bed all day doom scrolling. I literally make breakfast, head right back to bed, and dont move from 10-7 (maybe transfer to the couch, or go outside to smoke a cig) but thats it. I have 0 motivation to do any of my hobbies, and i can’t seem to shake this screen addiction. Its been controlling my life for like 2 months!!!

How do i shake this, get back into my hobbies, and get back outside?? Im considering getting a flip-phone to deter my doom-scrolling habit, but that doesnt seem like enough to motivate me to move on??? (Yes ive tried the apps, yes ive tried timers, most of the apps seem like you have to pay for them even if they advertise that they are free)

What would yall recommend to help me get out of this funk and not slip back into these toxic habits?

Ok so this is like my third time writing this post because reddit is evil and keeps deleting my drafts!!!

Anyways….

Ive been lurking on this sub for a while now; reading peoples stories about their relationships and how they ended up. A-lot of people not knowing where they went wrong, and refusing to except what happened (like any break up sub)
But I still feel like such a fool for posting here.

So, basically, he broke up with me about 11 months ago, and I cut contact with him back in February (Very, very dramatically might I add). We had been together for about 2 years as of last October, and I really should have seen it coming. It really did blind-side me at the time.

Im honestly not surprised. I, obviously, don’t know what exactly played into his decision to end it; the day he broke it off, he came to visit me at my apartment, he slept over, and the next morning (i thought) we had a lovely brunch. After brunch is when he dropped me off at my place, he dropped the bomb. I couldn’t handle talking about it in the moment and sent him home. I ended up crying the whole rest of the day.

I really should have seen it coming…looking back at our last 3 months before the break up, i was distant; our communication dropped drastically. When we called our conversations were stale, and we didnt talk as long as our normal calls. I was pushing him away, and not giving him the attention he deserved.

We stayed in contact on and off, i visited him a few times, and the last time i saw him in person was to go out with him. I dressed supper nice and got all ready, and as soon as i came over we almost immediately started having sex. After we finished he asked if i wanted to go out still. Looking back maybe i should have just to have a good night, but i really didnt want to go out after sex because my makeup was ruined, my hair was a mess, and my underwear was dirty…

After that our “friendship” was very strained. He called me about visiting one of his friends exes, he sent me the song “serpent lullaby” by the brodi brothers… saying it reminded him of me. If wed call it was either when i was drunk and wanted to hear from him or vice versa….

It was obvious to me that he resented me at that point, and a few days/maybe weeks later i sent him a very long message cutting contact. The back and fourth was making me feel insane and insecure. He made it very clear to me that we would never get back together… and yet thats all i wanted.
I burned everything he gave me, all the love letter and poems i made him. Deleted and burned all the picture i had of him or us together. The heart break had finally settled in and i was a wreck.

A about 2 weeks ago (maybe?) those shooting in Seattle happened and i freaked out. I was missing him before this, but this was the finally push that made me reach out to check if he was ok. He was fine, didnt even attend the event, but we chatted a bit and caught up a bit. I ended the conversation and closed the door again.

Im not missing him as much as when i started writing this post and l joined this sub.

Its hard for me to feel like ill ever find love that i had with him again. If j could do it over id guve him the time he deserves and show him the appreciation he needed. But i cant…
I miss his jokes, his hair, his face, his voice… everything. Every little detail of him plagues my mind and i wish i could do something to get him back but i know that’s not even in the relm of possibilities.
Hopefully i can move past this and start working on myself and investing in my future. I just wish we could share in jt together.

Hiya! Ive been learning piano for about a year now. I took 2 into classes in college, going the basics of music theory and how to read base and treble cleff. We learned scales and just started with chords right as the class was ending.

I have the piano 101 book, note speller work book, and another music theory work book. Id say im familiar with the piano, and when i get in the habbit i do improve quickly… but i always end up slipping, or forgetting to practice. Ive been out of practice for about 3 months, and id really like to get into it again (I don’t mind starting from square one over and over again) but i really want to really learn this instrument and be committed to new learning songs. I want to improve and stop being so lazy with my practice.

Any advice?
