Dr.Melaxin Collagen Multi Balm Stick

I tried the balm stick but it was super greasy. I placed it under my eyes but a few hours later my eyeliner smeared. I guess I was too close to my waterline. Should I have put it on at night. Was it even worth the purchase? Is there a better one? Thanks for all your help.

Toners for very dry skin

I’ve been using Anua 70+ toner but now running low and want to try something different. My skin’s on the desert side. Does any one have any suggestions for toners for dry skin? Thank you for your help and suggestions.

Wearing my wig to far on my foreheadl

I realized I’ve been wearing my wig too far on my forehead and now my forehead shows a bit of discoloration because of it. I’m now moving my wig to my hairline, but wonder if I need to wear a skin protectant before melting the lace. Also, does lace melt spray work better than spray lace melt? I’ve used Got2B ultra glue before but wasn’t sure if I put the lace melt spray on top of the lace. I also have adhesion spray. Do you need that if using melting spray. Sorry for so many questions. Thank you for any suggestions and your support.

Wig website vs. Amazon…..what’s the difference

I saw a wig I really really like on a wig website. I found the exact same wig on Amazon for a lower price. Is the wig on the actual website a better quality? Is the lace better from the wig company although it’s advertised the same as Amazon? I’m just trying to figure out why the price is lower on Amazon? I’d like to get it from Amazon for the quick delivery…but I don’t know. I’m so torn right now. Thanks for your help.

ILLIYOON moisturizer and COSRX snail mucin…thank you!!

I purchased the ILLIYOON moisturizer and the COSRX snail mucin and OMG my skin was like where have you been all of my life? It instantly felt so much better. My skin looks so much brighter. I’ve only used it like three times so it’s probably all in my head but it’s just amazing. I was using Anua moisturizer and I was using my byoma hydrating oil but I don’t need the hydrating oil because the ILLIYOON moisturizer is so thick I don’t need it, but my face is loving this combo. I’m not quite sure who suggested it from the group but whoever suggested it thank you so much.

Do you need both estrogen and progesterone post hysterectomy?

I’m having a hysterectomy on July 10. My doctor has already prescribed my estrogen patch and it’s been picked up. But don’t you need progesterone too? I’m having a complete hysterectomy removing everything… by adhd in overdrive…lol.

Hysterectomy and post exercises/going back to work

I’m scheduled for hysterectomy on July 10. I read a lot about pelvic floor exercises. Is there anything else that I should be doing post surgery?

Also, I told my employer I was taking two weeks STD and the other four I would work from home. However, after reading through posts, it seems I need to re-think my two weeks recovery and 4-weeks working from home. I’m now considering 3-weeks recovery and 3-weeks working from home. I do realize everyone recovers differently, but I’d like to get advice/suggestions thank you.

I was out Dec. 2025 - end of Jan 2026 for another health condition. I think I’m trying to push myself to go back to work sooner because I feel guilty about leaving again for another health issue.

How to sleep in a wig or not too

I use melting spray or gel to melt my wigs down. Unfortunately when it’s time to take the wig off at night I can’t. It’s stuck so I’m forced to sleep in it. How do you sleep in your wig. Do you use your lace melting band and put a bonnet on over top of it. I’m so confused. Thanks for your help.

MDD vs. Bipolar 1

I was originally diagnosed with MDD years later I was diagnosed with bipolar-1. Is that a natural progression? Do you get MDD first and then it progresses to bipolar-1? Are they separate or intertwined? Symptoms look similar so I’m a little confused about the 2.

Looking for a wig cap for a T wig part wig.

I’m looking for a wig cap for a T shaped wig cap. I’m really getting tired of having to dye the knots of the middle part. I’m hoping to find a T-shaped cap to prevent me from having to do that. Also, I wanna know if I get a wig cap do I still have to use the band that comes with the wig on my head or will the cap keep it from moving. Thanks.

Don’t call me…I’ll call you, but probably not

Unless you have dismembered your torso from your body and have been kidnapped by aliens; please just text. The amount of energy used on a phone call is invisible labor and I’m already tired just from talking about it…I will text you a novel before I dial your number. A phone call requires way too much processing time. I have to figure out tone, process audio, formulate responses (that’s about 30 minutes of thinking time..lol) AND pick and choose a reaction…hoping the person doesn’t expect a emotional one…because I’m responding “literally” and don’t gets jokes. All at the same time with no captions, no pause button and no rewind button. What happens when there is silence on the phone?

Texting is my friend. Texting gives me time
to process. Time to think. Time to say exactly what I mean. Time to watch Star Trek (I have all 3 seasons of the original) on DVD and respond when I’m ready. I’m not being rude when I don’t answer. My brain is just built for closed caption.

Quality Time….maybe

Quality time is a love language I could never wrap my brain around. I thought I was weird when I just could not relate. Why would anybody want to literally be fused to another while watching TV? We aren’t doing symbiosis ova here. Why can’t you be downstairs reading a book or doing whatever and I’ll do my whatever upstairs. Aren’t we still sharing space. We are in the same house. Isn’t the space we are sharing quality? By my definition…yep.

Let’s go to a museum and you go to the Neanderthal section which you love while I check out the 20 foot tall dinosaur display in the entrance. My AuDHD brain is excited and entrenched in all the possibilities of figuring out how the hell they got that monstrosity in the building. How did they put it together? Are those real bones. OMG!! This is better than sex…lol. I am loving the rabbit hole I’m digging for myself. Wait….how many holes r we digging…..Nevermind..lol. Aren’t we still in the same space; in the same time space continuum? Isn’t the time quality for both of us….well at least by my definition. LoL. Knowing my person is there and in my proximity is really all I need for my nervous system to feel safe and regulated. Anybody else have an epiphany? LoL. Similar experience?
