Hi everyone. I have been shaving my eyebrows on and off for the last couple of years. I find it so much easier to make my brows even when i have a blank slate. My natural eyebrows are not very thick, nor are they very dark- probably a medium brown at best. However, you can ALWAYS see where my eyebrows naturally are even if I shaved them 30 seconds ago. Once i put makeup on you cant really tell but everyone else seems to have such smooth and invisible eyebrows except me 😭😭😭 Is there a secret hack im missing??? I am sick of looking slightly ridiculous without makeup

Hi everyone, lowkey just here to rant quickly lol. My Kmart lately has been taking away a lot of our shifts and offering them to everyone else as open. It happened to my coworker last night but she managed to claim the shift before anyone else so ended up working anyway. It has happened to me and my partner and several other coworkers recently. Not only do they take it from us, but they aren’t giving us any type of notice or anything. Just removing it from our roster and not saying anything. This is so frustrating! Multiple of us have brought it up to managers but it keeps happening. Surely this cant be right! If we dont check our rosters daily, we would have no idea.

(AUSTRALIA) Hi everyone! I have been really keen lately to start donating blood, but doctors always struggle to find veins in my arms. I have had many blood tests and IVs in my life and it always takes ages to find viable veins. Usually they have to end up taking from my hands. Although, I am usually dehydrated when getting IVs placed because yk.. usually I am sick when that happens lol. Does anyone else have this problem and is it worth going in and having them assess me first? Thanks heaps :))

hi everyone just here to vent about this because its my current rocd fixation and its really overwhelming.

My rOCD has always made me anxious about whether i love my partner enough or if i take them for granted, but the past few weeks it’s specifically been about one of us dying. Literally everything he does makes me scared he is going to die. Driving to work? What if he gets in a car crash and dies. Sleeping? What if he just never wakes up. Sitting on the couch watching TV? What if he just dies on the spot for no reason.

We have always joked and said “goodbye” when one of us leaves the room or goes to the bathroom or whatever but I cant help but “jokingly” ask him “goodbye forever?” Obviously he jokes back saying “noo not goodbye forever silly!!” but he has no idea that im genuinely anxious that hes going to walk into another room and just die.

The part that bothers me the most is that im convinced I don’t appreciate him enough or love him enough even though i know i love him so much and my actions show that I really do appreciate him. I worry that if he dies, ill realise i took him for granted and never be able to show him that i love him as much as i do.

Whenever he falls asleep before me I feel incredibly upset with myself because i “didnt appreciate him enough” when he was awake and now he wont know i love him. Its ridiculous i know and i have told him i am a bit sad when he falls asleep way before me sometimes but he thinks its just because im bored and exhausted.

rOCD is also telling me that im manifesting his death by constantly thinking and worrying about it. Which then makes me think about it more and the cycle continues. I know logically that it is very unlikely that he will just die for no reason but the thoughts and compulsions are too strong. I am too hyper aware of what reality is vs what is my rOCD yet it still takes over my life when its like this.

My partner wont just drop dead, and i couldnt love or appreciate him any more than i do. Please leave me alone ocd :(

hi everyone. im a new kmart hire, i have been at my kmart for two weeks. Most of my shifts are still technically training shifts and im mostly doing home pres atm.

im a casual employee so no contracted hours or anything and this week went from having 2 shifts to 5. I work/ed mon tue wed fri and now i work tomorrow. I was asked to come in on monday and said yes but my shifts on wed and tomorrow (sat) were added without me knowing about it or being asked or anything. Can they just roster you on the night before with no communication? I had plans for tomorrow night- nothing serious just a starwars marathon with my housemates lol- but its just frustrating being rostered on with no notice. If my ocd didnt make me check my roster multiple times everyday i woulnt even know i had a shift tomorrow night.

All of my previous jobs have either told me about roster updates a few days before or asked if i was able to come in at least. surely there has to be some kind of communication before doing this? Thanks :P
