Been on tretinoin .05% for close to a year and a half initially for cystic acne but now mainly to keep my skin clear and minimize scars. My skin has drastically improved with the tretinoin over time but I still have some closed comedones and clogged pores that come up on my cheeks near (not on) the nasolabial area. Usually I would pick at them to get them to go away but I've been trying to be more disciplined not picking my face so I'm just wondering how long will they take to go away on their own? Its very difficult for me to not pick them but I'm trying my best not to.

I'm thinking they may be caused by not washing my pillowcase frequently enough but I've been trying to get better about that. I have an extremely minimal routine (just Dove sensitive skin beauty bar and Vanicream at night) and I am not really wanting to introduce new products if I don't have to as I'm on a budget.

In S02E09 Aliens in a Spaceship when they are trying to figure out how to find Bones and Hodgins, Booth tells Zack that he needs him to be Dr. Brennan and Zack says "I dont know what that means." 😂

I promise this is ADHD related, at least to me. I love the idea of cuddling and being close but after about 30 seconds I feel trapped and start getting wiggly and trying to be free. Then a few minutes later I want to try again but it always turns out the same. I can only really stay still if I'm really high on weed or gummies but other than that I just feel restless almost immediately. I'm generally a pretty physically affectionate person in my own way i just cant seem to cuddle for very long. Anyone else?

I have no career and no real life skills, no college degree, but I got good grades and was in honors and AP classes in school. I have enjoyed researching things that interest me at the time and have gained lots of random knowledge that isn't really helpful in any way whatsoever. I'm able to understand some abstract concepts and also regurgitate random facts, but none of this is beneficial to me because I am completely unable to harness my intelligence in a productive way, and there is also a lot of things I don't know or understand (such as finance and politics for example).

I'm starting to wonder if I'm not actually smart despite constantly thinking all the time lol

Its confusing.

I think I missed my calling to be an interviewer or something because my husband sometimes tells me that conversationally I ask way too many questions lol. I will ask random questions that have nothing to do with anything, but I also ask a ton of clarifying and understanding questions about whatever it is we are talking about. I feel like this shows interest but apparently for some people it can be a bit much.

(30, married, sexually active if that matters) This is genuinely so embarrassing and I have never seen anyone talk about this (specific) issue before. I have heard that anything other than cotton underwear is bad for women and people with vaginas so I have a couple pairs of microfiber underwear that I try not to wear much but it was laundry day. I have noticed that whenever I wear microfiber underwear, by the end of the day it smells EXACTLY like sweaty feet down there. Now of course I don't want my lady parts to smell like old gym socks. I'm wondering also if there is bacteria that are living in the underwear fibers and not dying in the washing machine so they reactivate and cause it to smell after wearing for a while??

Has this ever happened to you when using non-cotton underwear or synthetic fibers in general?

I love the way I look in makeup, I feel so much prettier when I actually take time to do it, but I'm unmedicated and I just cannot lock in long enough to do my makeup anymore. I made a post on here last week about cleaning all the makeup in my makeup bag but it probably will only get used a few times a year. I wish I had the focus to actually do it more often, especially because my makeup routine isn't really that complicated. But I just can't. Same goes for my hair, except I also get really sweaty and overstimulated when I'm in the bathroom heat styling my hair so I only do it when I'm gonna be in public (which is really only a few times a month at best tbh). I occasionally just do only mascara instead of a full face, just to give my eyes at least a little bit of life. But 95% of the time I'm completely bare faced. Anyone else?

I'm assuming that's what it is. I don't really want to attach a picture. Under my boobs there are a ton of these white things that look like clogged pores I'm assuming from dead skin and sweat accumulating down there. If I try to squeeze them (it's hard to because the skin on my boobs is so loose and delicate) some white stuff will come out of the pores but its not like pus, its more like buildup? Also if I use my nails or a tweezer sometimes I can pull a small thin white "plug" out from the pores.

Does anyone know what kind of products or treatment I can try to get this under control because it's gross and annoying

I'm currently a housewife, but if I ever needed to get back in the workforce I honestly don't think I would be able to properly fill out a resume/job application because I can't remember my job history. I remember where I worked, but I would honestly not be able to remember even the years I was at those places. Best I could do is guess. I had about 6 jobs from 2012-2023 and it was all such a blur (teens/20s) I don't know if its due to ADHD or something else like trauma or drugs that I am unable to remember these things. I'm glad that this is not a current problem for me but I'm sure it may come up one day if I need to get a job again.

I'm just wondering if anyone else has a fuckup this massive due to memory issues??
