A fabric made out of 100% Carbon, developed by the British military for decontamination and PPE. Really feels like this would solve all of my problems right now.

is anyone else extremely sensitive to bb dates? I have made myself sick from eating food with a best before date of the current date (which should ostensibly be ok)
I also have to be really over the top about food safety and leaving food out (no longer than 20 mins)
Febreeze is not really a thing in my country but I just found out about an unscented version I can import from Japan.
Febreeze uses a chemical called hydroxypropyl beta-cyclodextrin (HPBCD) which is in the same class of compound as weight loss supplements.
It is generally well tolerated orally as a supplement but studies that use high dose IV do show kidney and hearing damage.
OFC I am skeptical of many synthetic chemicals but if it is a lesser evil than all of the galaxolides and musks I am currently dealing with that are wreaking havoc on my life, I think I would gladly welcome the reprieve.
Curious about first hand experiences more than anything though.
The only things I have come across through research for absorbing or sequestering fragrance molecules and VOCs are things like carbon, clays, plastics (seems to SUCK everything up like a vortex but not renewable) and algae.
spent the night throwing up and slept on the shower floor. my whole body was vibrating and my heart was pounding, it felt so scary. I think my partner is going to leave me. everyone keeps telling me its anxiety. I’m trying to qualify for disability but no doctor takes me seriously. chemical sensitivity is a recognized medical disorder but seems impossible to find someone who recognizes it.
Do you react to this ingredient?
repurchasing ballerine flats that I had a few years ago and purchased the wrong size again as their measurements are off. can anyone offer their experience with sizing as I don't want to have to pay for a third return :/
are they generally slow with responding? does anyone know the best way to get in contact?
I’ve been waiting to apply for a wordmark but someone has beat me to applying in the same class but not category. theirs is herbal medicine and tea. mine is functional foods. we are both class 5. is there any chance at all of it being acceptable as they are quite different categories?
can someone please confirm whether the registered address becomes public?
building out a new account, at what stage would you start trying to get followers and begin following other accounts?
is 10 posts enough to get some traction?
making fried chicken and always get so confused about whether it is safe to reuse egg wash for a second batch. it has been in the fridge for a few hours marinating the chicken.
is this safer than other synthetic retinoids from a Peat perspective?
I used to be a much more resilient person. he denigrates me for being too weak/sensitive
ironically it is all of the mocking and denigrating that makes me feel weaker, on top of having an illness with no support.
I am genuinely one of the most resilient people I know. most people who meet me would recognise that. but he only sees me as weak.
I found out the other day that I have an ACE score of 9/10 which is like 0.1% of the population. I feel like I’m lucky to be alive at 35 years old.
I think he enjoys triggering my abandonment fears because it usually makes me need him more and he likes pushing my boundaries. my heart and soul are perpetually at war.
people underestimate how strong you have to be to leave a dynamic like this. my spirit is fighting to live every single day.
how can he be so cruel and then claim to love me?
the only thing keeping me alive right now is working on my business. it is not just a business but the culmination of my life's work and the experiences I’ve had and reminds me of my purpose here. I think that's why he wants to take it away from me, as I will no longer be afraid to leave him.
when I become financially independent I will not tolerate his awfulness and immaturity anymore.
I’m currently in the pre-launch phase of my business, creating content, copy, website, and finalizing products. I’m a sole founder with no employees. My partner is helping out with the technical side.
For those who’ve launched a physical product business, how did you structure your time in the lead-up vs after launch?
I have some health limitations that affect my capacity day to day, so I’m trying to structure my pre and post-launch workflow realistically to be more fully prepared rather than burning out.
Right now, I am enjoying every aspect of creating my own business as it also happens to be a special interest of mine and I enjoy having a creative outlet.
Which makes it feel pretty effortless right now but I worry about the actual workload involved after we launch. It seems manageable from what I’ve projected but I see alot of comments from burned out founders that make me wonder if I’m being delusional about how challenging it will be.
Is there anyone who genuinely enjoys every aspect of running their own business? To the point where it doesn't feel like work at all?

that actually understand the overlap between adhd and complex neuroimmune conditions?
my psychiatrist just tried to diagnose me with schizophrenia which is absurd.
it doesn't feel possible to actually get the help I need.
line disconnected and abn has been cancelled. I need a reliable provider ASAP. suggestions please.
I’m also now unable to get a discharge letter from my previous prescriber but I have invoices if that counts for anything?
do you react to this ingredient? and are you fragrance free due to mcas or something else? i'm curious bc this ingredient is a mast cell stabiliser.
why is it SO hard for people to understand that not everyone has the ability to leave a bad relationship? especially if you are financially dependent on someone/chronically ill/disabled.
I am trying my best every day to achieve financial independence but its so so hard when you are trapped in a bad dynamic.
this is the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life.
