I have a pimple that started pretty small, I made the mistake of trying to pop and now it looks like little pea under the skin, and is red around the area surrounding it now. Made a little problem into a more noticeable problem and I really hope it’s not scarred for good :/ I asked ChatGPT and it told me to not pick at it anymore, keep it clean and use one of those pimple patches that have little needles. Didn’t work.

I can’t afford to go to the dermatologist for a cortisone shot. What do I do?! :’(

Hey guys, I’m H (I’ll tell you if you DM me & you’re not creepy), I’m 31F. I’m from a town a little north of Austin Texas, living here since 2015.

I’m trying to find female friends in the city, but don’t really know how to go about it! I’m pretty shy about striking up convos in person and might take a couple hangs to warm up, but am easygoing and down to try new things/go new places.

I enjoy:

• going out for drinks
• playing video games (been meaning to go back to Ignite gaming lounge)
• going to concerts
• sports (not in leagues, just for fun)
• movies

Bonus points if it won’t break the bank!

I have a few broken vessels on my face; not super obvious, but it keeps me from wanting to skip the foundation in the morning because it is obvious to me 😵‍💫 Petty gripe, but I’d just feel a little more confident if they were gone.

The cherry angiomas — I swear one appears every month. Want them gone, but I know they will gradually appear again.

What’s the best place for removal?

I 31F have been with my boyfriend 27M for a year and a half. I love him and love spending all my time with him, but I feel a total loss of self, especially since we moved in together a year ago.

We’ve been arguing a lot lately and with my anxious-disorganized attachment style, losing him is all I can think about and it’s burning both of us out.

Please don’t judge me, but I never really had friends, I’ve just been more of a relationship-type person, and the desire to make friends just isn’t really there.

I enjoyed working out, exploring literature, and listening to music on walks before we met, now these things don’t really hit the same anymore.

Tbh, I’ve got pretty caught up in bad habits in the past year and a half (e.g. smoking cigarettes, drinking often, and not sleeping enough) and it kind of threw me off my path of trying to be a healthier version of myself. I was a stoner for a decade and quit.

Now I don’t know what to do. I have no actual hobbies that bring me enjoyment anymore. I just feel like a live-in girlfriend, and my hobby is being with him, but with all the drama and misunderstandings in our relationship, he’s preserving himself (and I don’t blame him) and prioritizing his friends again.

How do I create some version of this for myself, so I have something to keep me sane when I spiral?

I have him blocked everywhere and this past week I saw he had followed me on Spotify and suddenly it felt like I was kicked in the stomach, on the verge of diarrhea.

We dated in 2016, broke up in December of 2017 after an explosive, drunken argument that I escalated in a toxic way, saying “I’ll just leave”, called myself an uber and left. Breaking up with him indirectly, but turned out to be the last straw for him, and became final.

I sobered up, realized I didn’t want it to be the end and did every type of groveling under the sun to make him come back. He settled on, “maybe we’ll try again someday”.

He got back with his ex from before me, and started a life with her so I eventually moved on after many years of grieving.

We still followed each other on insta throughout 2018 and he eventually unfollowed. I was devastated. I blocked him everywhere so I wouldn’t look.

One day in 2022 I see his name in “people who viewed your profile” on LinkedIn. I blocked him. Just a couple days ago, I look at my Spotify updates — he had followed me past week. I blocked him. Still leaves a tinge of weirdness every time I see his name. So many years wasted crying, so many chances for love I spent waiting.

Idk what it is, but it feels cruel to me every time he tries to interact at this point. We had an intense relationship, the most intense of my life, but he’s with someone and I think he’s throwing out lines because he’s bored.

10 years thooo, come on, find somebody new.
