Critique/Tips? 6 Months out of academy

Would love to have some pointers on what I can work on to make a difference in the quality/finish of my grooms. A lot of the time they feel a little messy but corporate time constraints force me to move on to the next dog (very much have ran into quantity over learning experience) and want to do my best to keep learning independently so i can progress!

is cymbalta not for me if i don’t want to be on meds long term?

Going through a hard life situation and struggling with symptoms of depression/bpd/gad

told a new psychiatrist i only wanted to be on something short term as i am moving to the eu next yr and really want to manage symptoms long term w out big pharma. just really needed some help managing in the mean time

i also got a referral for tms which seems like a better option maybe

she suggested 20mg cymbalta to start

day one of taking it i had to leave work early due to being hit wifh a wave of awfulness. ended up extremely nauseas, dizzy, and when i would get up i felt like i was moving through this weird dream like state but even had a slight euphoric feeling through how awful i felt physically. i skipped it the next day because it was not possible for me to miss more work and i had the worst insomnia i’ve had in years for this one night! couldnt feel tired, tossed and turned unable to sleep and managed to sleep for 4 hours off and on and felt extreme anxiety/fever-dream-ish. now that i’m awake things are moving in a kinda distorting way and i just feel off in a very mildly similar way to when i >!took an overdose of an ssri over 8 yrs ago!<

i’m honestly thinking these side effects aren’t worth it as someone who only wanted some med help for like 6 months. i was not functional and don’t want to subject myself to that even another day. especially hearing withdrawals from stopping can be pretty bad.

[acne] 7 weeks apart (and why has it gotten so bad?)

2nd pic is from may 15 . i was getting occasional chin acne mostly but my pores were very clogged and skin was dry (using native fragrance free cleanser and byoma rich moisturizer).
i started using byoma oil cleaner instead and after a month noticed more acne/clogged pores everywhere.
after that got trader antioxidant moisturizer/cleanser and realized it had retinol in it and around that time i was getting more inflamed acne
stopped that after a week and got
purito ceramide day moisturizer and
green plum refreshing cleanser

i’m thrown for a loop for this current break outs cause!
mostly on my jawline & neck. more minor concerns on forehead/nose/chest like small acne/clogged pores

&gt; hormonal?
&gt; product reactions?
&gt; damaged skin barrier?
&gt; stress

i did have my androgen levels checked about 8 months ago and they were within normal limits i believe.

and i am going through an extremely stressful time in my life so could it be related to cortisol/stress?

idk what it’s more likely to be! sadly no insurance so no dermatologist!

i eat a lot of refined sugars if that adds any relevant peices to the pie

i should also note im a dog groomer so i get exposed to a lot of things that could clog/irritate my skin. like dogs shaking off soapy water or dander/fur when i blow dry lol.

Advice on styling? Ft bangs that might be too blunt?

Been thinking my bangs are bit blunt/gives a rectangular look? I’d love to keep growing my hair longer but want to feel more confident/have a more tailored style. Also any makeup suggestions would be lovely! Basically wondering what input others may have?

10+ years &amp; still haven’t found the perfect routine :( [acne]

Hi sub! I recently used this page to find a new face wash and switched from native sensitive skin which was super drying to byoma oil milky cleaner which is now causing acne a little over a month later

I’ve been trying for so long to prevent/treat my acne and achieve clear skin and now i’m 24 and still no luck!

Would love recommendations! I have combo skin

Currently using Byoma rich moisturizer with that byoma face wash mentioned above (no sunscreen yet bc i was using murad but since switching products 5 weeks ago i haven’t incorporated another product yet)

Camera doesnt quite capture it smooths me out quite a bit!
