Hey guys just wondering how long after tattoo removal I’d be able to surf or put on a wetsuit?

Is there anything I could wrap it with during healing?

Im a female from Australia and an intermediate surfer (i think) I started a few years ago but am absolutely terrified/embarrassed paddling out when theres only really good men at my local spots.
How can I overcome this any tips?
Men please comment too haha

HELLO I keep getting fkn so many ants all over my kitchen/granny flat.
Ive used baits and clean everywhere frequently.
They just keep coming back and out of no where.

How do I get rid of them pleasee

Me 24F and my boyfriend 28M have been together for 4 years. I rarely attend my boyfriends family dinners, which are always at a restaurant and not for special occasions (birthdays etc).
They go out for dinner at least once a fortnight.

I never go out for dinner with my family (even for special occasions).
I have an eating disorder and have never enjoyed eating in front of people (makes me extremely anxious).
I also have social anxiety and get very overwhelmed in loud restaurants.
I also work full time and have a dog that needs walking after work.

My boyfriend is never happy with me when I say I dont want to come.
Ive told him the reasons why I get anxious and uncomfortable. I always attend to the special occasions such as his and his families birthdays.

I am 25 years old and have moved back in with my parents after renting a few properties.

I dont even see a point in saving money to buy a house anymore. Rent price is also ridiculous.

The idea of owning/buying a house with my partner seems really out of reach, even though we’re both on decent pay.

I know so many people who are in the same situation (even those with babies/young children), who cannot afford to rent or purchase a house, so have been living with their parents.

I’ve also had so many middle age/older people comment on how strange and pathetic it is that so many of us are still living at home. That our generation has been ‘hand fed’ and are lazy and dont work hard enough.

Just wondering how many other young Australians are in this same position

*** I am incredibly grateful that I am able to live with my parents ****

***For everyone asking why I only work part time -
I have been working FT since I was 19. Worked a second job at a bar 3x a week when I was 20 for 4 years.
I now work PT to take care of my physical/mental health. ***

I work in dental and wear a face mask all day, every day.

I was finally happy with my skin about 4 years ago and now since wearing face masks at work (around 2 years) i have been struggling with constant acne, especially under the mask area.

I get a new face mask in between every patient (usually every 30mins)

What products should I be using to limit this?

I’ll start off saying my childhood was strange, alcoholic, drug affected, abusive father with an emotionally withdrawn mother who never spoke about anything.(They are still together)
I dont really remember anything from my childhood.

I’ve been through some very toxic/mentally abusive relationships.
I’ve struggled with heavy depression, anorexia/bulimia and paranoia since I was around 14 (im 25 now).

I was diagnosed at around 18 with BPD, Bipolar II and CPTSD.
During this time I had just gone through an intense breakup and was hypomanic and very self destructive. I was also binge drinking (bottle of vodka) at least 4 times a week (alone or with others)

When I was 22 I met my current partner, who is amazing and has really helped me.
I significantly lowered my drinking, improved my health and went to a new psychiatrist.

I then got diagnosed with ADHD and have since been taking dexamphetamine with lamotrigine (3 years). I have now completely stopped drinking, have my routines, got a proper job, started doing hobbies and am so much healthier and happier.

Im just confused with my diagnosis’, surely I cant have all those idk haha.
I feel like ive definitely got the cpstd but unsure about the others.

Do they just stay with me forever now? They pop up on all my dr profiles under the health alerts.

I feel like my manic periods were reactions to issues from home or relationships.

I dont know - sorry late night rant

Ive been taking 20mg prozac for almost 5 months and it’s been really helpful.

HOWEVER, I’ve been experiencing this strange, out of no where, incredibly deep anxiety.
Like a massive random hit of physical anxiety that doesn’t feel like my usual anxiety response. 🤨

It will happen multiple times a day for an hour or so.

The feeling is so hard to get out of as I’m not actually sure what or where the anxiety has come from. I do breathing exercises which helps slightly for a few seconds.

Idk it feels so strange, ive never experienced this and its the worst haha.

I asked my psych/dr they said to stop prozac or change meds, but I dont have any other side effects and really think its helping everything else with my mental health.

Wondering if anyone else experiences this? ☝🏻
