i need advice on motivation

i havent been able to clean my room. i returned from vacation a month ago, and i have to go pack to go to back the place i stay in for college ASAP. but i literally have not even put away my clothes (or even tidied up my room) and decided what i would bring with me. my family is going through a really rough time. a few weeks ago i found out my mom might have the c word disease and i spent two weeks not doing anything whatsoever and then i found that yes she indeed does have it and i spent another three weeks just completely avoiding my room unless i sleep. the only thing i did was unpack my makeup and organize it.
she has surgery in about a day and i told myself i would get my life together before her surgery so i have more time to see her, but as you can see i still couldn’t do it.

so please help me motivate myself to get up because im spending each and every day overthinking everything and not doing anything but i really have to get myself together tomorrow. im so overwhelmed

I dont know how to explain to my doctor what’s going on with me

20F 160 lbs 5 ft im a little concerned. ive had on and off diarrhea since early june but it doesnt seem to go away. i got sick around end of may and i went to the doctor and they perscribed me antibiotics (i need to check the label i do not remember the name). i had a month long trip coming up a couple days after that. i finished the antibiotics on the last day right before my trip. i remember the doctor telling me it might cause some symptoms with the gut, so i dont know if this has anything to do with it. on the last few days i started experiencing diarrhea which i expected because the doctor mentioned it.

so i go on my trip. it is overseas, and i experienced diarrhea throughout the entire month (so early june to early july). it was sometimes on and off. i remember taking immodium and ib guard sometimes because stomach issues are very annoying when youre overseas. sometimes i would experience constipation, and then a day later the diarrhea would come back.

then i come home i feel like my stomach issues went away for maybe a week, but then the diarrhea would come back. i would just feel a sudden urge to use the bathroom and i would have to go, i feel like if i dont go immediately im gonna shit myself. and again i feel like it’s on and off. some days are better than others. i dont take imodium that often either. but i got so tired of the diarrhea, i took some and it made me experience constipation, so idk. then the diarrhea came back again.

im on my period now and i have diarrhea again. maybe it’s a normal period poop? so, i do not know if this is all an unlucky coincidence or what.

  1. the antibiotics gave me diarrhea those first few days
  2. then i got it overseas because my body was adjusting to certain foods and water??
  3. i got some stomach bug when i got home?

i genuinely do not know.

im going to get my physical done tomorrow and i will the doctor about what im experiencing but i feel like im going to struggle explaining this to her. i already feel like im saying too much

im really bad at grooming them i never know the exact hairs to pluck or shave and i always mess them up. also i have a cowlick on one side and i dont know whether for grow it out or trim it. my hairs are pretty coarse and i feel like when i trim my brows it becomes really blunt and ugly. and i also always mess up where the eyebrows like i always remove the wrong hairs and end up making the gap uneven.

Thoughts on facial epilating?

I have dark facial hair, and I really dont like it. I’m also using a scalp serum and sometimes it goes to my forehead so i find a few hairs there. im wondering what is the best way to remove facial hair for you guys.

i dermaplan sometimes but the hair grows back really quickly and super blunt, and they say you shouldn’t dermaplan again for two weeks. my cousin threaded my face when i was with her overseas, but i dont know how to do it myself. ive also seen that some people wax their face but im really terrible at handling wax. i can always try practicing, but im wondering if epilating would be a better option.

im just wondering if epilating works for anyone? ive used one on my body and i find it easier than wax.

the thing is i have sensitive skin so idk if that would make a difference. maybe it would be too damaging?

why is the colleen situation always brought up?

i feel like every time Adam gets into controversy, (whether it’s based on a mistake he made or not) the topic always turns into colleen even if it has nothing to do with the situation. on jen dent’s original video where she was critical of adam, the comments were mostly against adam, which i can understand since he made a mistake originally. but why does it always turns into colleen? i saw so many people saying things like “he lied about colleen” “he manipulated the situation” “he made it about himself”

like why are people still hung up on this? are they all colleen fans? do they just wait until he gets into controversy to start saying stuff like this? i feel like this is every comment section the moment someone is critical of adam.

i will say i was overseas and pretty busy when the JDE stuff happened so i dont know much about that situation. but even before that whole thing this was the case. when ethan, alexa, and gabbie had their beef with adam the comments would always always always bring up colleen.

Gel or wax for thick coarse eyebrows?

I have thick eyebrows with coarse hairs. They naturally have cowlicks too. I used to trim them, but it looks so blunt and choppy and is especially bad when they grow out. So I decided im not going to trim my eyebrow hairs anymore and just shape them with gel or wax. What do you guys recommend?

Pallates like this?

I’m looking for an eyeshadow pallate with colors like these. I found this on amazon and i dont think i trust it, since ive never heard of the brand and cant find anything about it. But these colors are perfect. I’m looking for mossy greens, sage greens, pastel greens, and other earthy shades. The problem is im having trouble finding them for some reason.

What type of helix should I get?

I took my old helixes out because my old piercer messed them up. When the holes heal, Im going to a different one. Thats also why my ear looks so swollen lol

The first photo is my ear. The others are inspo pictures. I’m considering getting one or two. Can you guys suggest placements that would look flattering on my ear?

I’m considering these in this order (first is most interested in): regular, lower, flat, vertical, and forward. Honestly last time my vertical helix got caught so much i lowkey hated it, but that also could be because they put a barbell instead of a labret 😭

In a year or two i would like to look like an elf fairy princess.

beginner recommendations?

I dont eat tinned fish on a regular basis but im a college student and i barely have the energy to cook so i would like some proteins stocked up that i can just put over pasta, rice, crackers, chips, bread, etc.

I love mussels, so I decided to try the Trader Joe’s lightly smoked tinned mussels. I LOVED THEM Now im wondering what else i should try.

Here are the seafoods im interested in, but pls also recommend your favorites.

Mussels

Oysters- i love raw oysters so i feel like this wont be “scary” for me. I love shellfish in general.

Sardines- sardines kind of scare me but you know what im willing to try

I’ve always hated tinned tuna, so thats probably a no for me.

I dont know what else there is available, so let me know!

looking for lightweight products with a lot of slip

I have fine, high porosity, bleached loose curls (probably 3a). They get tangled very easily because of this, so detangling takes me forever. I feel like my products are lacking a lot of slip.

Can someone give conditioner recommendations (for shower) as well as leave in conditioners?

I’ve used Kinky Curly Knot Today for a whole year. It’s great but it’s just too heavy on my fine stands and weighs it down.

i think my mom has cancer

im not fully sure but all the signs point to it. basically she has some symptoms (very painful lump on tounge) and she’s been getting scans. i asked her if she thinks it’s bad and she just told me to pray for her. my parents are really stressed, and mom is crying everyday. shes getting a surgery to remove the lump. i heard her on the phone with her sister and saying shes not ready to tell her kids yet and that it’s in her neck (i dont know what “it” is but im guessing oral cancer)

obviously if she does shes not ready to tell us so im not gonna ask her. she probably wants to wait until she knows the full details. i dont know what to do though i cant focus on anything and i dont have a lot of friends i can talk to right now. and im worried im gonna break down crying if im around her. this is so much harder for her than it is for me so i dont want to make it about me

Are these dolls still widely available?

My walmart did not have these and my target seems hit or miss when it comes to monster high dolls. I haven’t collected dolls in a while so I missed the releases of these gorgeous dolls. The amazon prices seem too much? Especially the Garden Mysteries. Does anyone have experiences getting them on sale?

By the way I love how both of these two have similar color pallates, theyre kind of like twins. I would love to display them that way.

Just a warning for you guys if you buy nib second hand

I bought a nib angel of joys barbie and I was so excited because I love angels and i love barbie. The box was pretty messed up because it was shoved into a packing box that’s smaller than the doll? Oh well, I’ll open it so i can clean it anyways it’s probably gross and dusty because thats my experience with old barbies!!!!

I open it and theres this weird purple looking bean thing. I swish it and it crumbles… almost like an bug egg? EW. Are we sure? Maybe it’s just a … purple box thing that degraded? Then i found two more. I reverse image searched it and it’s A ROACH EGG. triple ew wtf. thank god i opened it outside.

i ended up throwing the whole thing away. i know maybe the doll couldve been salvaged, but i was too grossed out keep it in my home. what if there’s eggs in the doll too??? what if what if what if, so in the trash it went. ive always been paranoid about my dolls and it came true i hate it here

Dropping a summer course

I have a course that starts on the 13th (session 4). My modules got released today and after looking at the content I don’t think I can do all of this in a few weeks without my grades slipping. I am considering dropping.

I’ve never dropped before so I’m clueless on all this. Do I just drop the class like normal, or do I have to withdraw from the semester? Will this affect my transcript?

Also if anyone knows about this thing specifically, let me know. I paid for the semester using Texas Tuition Promise Fund units. When I drop, will they be refunded back in the account as units?

Sorry for the all the questions I’m really stressed out.

also i did email my advisor but since it’s sunday i am unsure if they will respond

Is something like this listing possible again? 😭

I saw this Mercari listing wayy too late. The price seems so cheap based on what I’ve seen this doll sold for before. How do you guys find good prices like this before they get snagged?

Also I’m considering selling my new in box Dracula Skullector, and using some of the money to buy her, along with my own saved up. Do you guys think that’s worth it?
