I used to work at a daycare and everyone was always nice to me but still from the jump I always got those vibes that you can’t put a finger on. But still all was well. Almost a year into my employment the director said we need to have a talk in the office. I had no idea what to expect. She basically ended up telling me that people have been talking about an odor coming from my classroom. Yes, I knew exactly what she was talking about- given that I was hyper aware of my excessive sweating issue for as long as I can remember. I then later found out that they would send one of my coworkers over to my room to pretend to converse with me and make up some fake conversation just to report back and tell them if it stunk in my room. Honestly, this broke my heart and traumatized me. I felt so clowned and belittled. It’s one thing that I stunk and the truth hurts but it’s another thing to be deceitful and act like you’re having genuine conversations with me, personally coming to my classroom and acting friendly, just to be an actual infiltrator. This was years ago and I’m still traumatized

Have you?! Cause I sure have. I have a really stupid system I guess that sometimes really fucks me over but I do my pours over plastic bags and when I’m done I just set them down and go to wash my hands. Then when I’m back the area looks a mess and just a big bag full of wet paint and a canvas in the corner just taking up space in my bedroom so I take the canvas, fold up the bag a bit to be more compact and wet paint not all exposed, and then put the canvas back on it. I know it’s a system that can definitely work against me. Sometimes it’s great and other times….. I mess up an amazing pour from trying to move something that is still wet. This happened to me today and I am beyond upset. It was such a cool eccentric piece. It looked like a trippy album cover or something. I so wish I can have it back. Just here grieving I guess. I know, I gotta get those acrylic pour stands.

Things have been really awful. Been causing myself infections left and right. I was on meds in the past but tbh they didn’t do anything for me …. I tried Prozac lexapro klonopin seroquel. this was a few years ago. But things have just gotten progressively worse over the years and I’m thinking about trying again. Have you guys had any luck/improvement with meds?

Here I am worked so hard to heal this spot on my face, it healed, and today I went ahead and picked it again. It’s my fault for not lathering my face in moisturizer everyday after it healed like I told myself I would. I never actually did this before but in my head it sounded like it would work. And I slacked. Do you guys personally feel like doing that helps you to not touch your face ?

Yep.

They just keep filling up like crazy every few hours but seems like to no end and with no change. Anything else I can do to address the inflated pus filled self inflicted spots? To make things worse it’s my birthday and I’m sitting here miserable cause of this what seems to be a lifelong battle

I used to be a chronic smoker. Everyday, multiple times a day. Then it started to have adverse effects for me and I eventually just quit it cold turkey. Never looked back. It’s been almost two years now. I’m curious to hear how did life get better for you after quitting, if at all

Something has been weighing heavy on my mind lately. The idea of witchery being against religion — I don’t necessarily agree that they are two different things and that one is holy and the other is a demonic sin. I see a lot of similarities between Christianity and spiritual practices. Sage and the church incense. Light a candle at home, light a candle at church. Holy water, moon water, Florida water. Pray, manifest. These things are so similar. And what about the moon and herbs, things like that that are used with intention. I personally feel very connected to both practices and it makes me feel so confused because of what we are told is right or wrong, holy or unholy. But the truth is I believe in the pure duality of it all. It would be a lie to say that the elements of this natural Earth don’t feel powerful to me. But Christianity says the only power strength love light purity truth divinity faith etc is through God. And while I believe this and I believe in God, and I pray everyday, I also believe in the power and the symbolism and the mystic of nature. It’s beautiful actually, and you can feel it in your soul that it feels beautiful and pure and has an energy, just like God does. And it feels silly to say there is something wrong with that. If your intentions are pure, I believe that is holy just like God is. I struggle with this because I feel guilty because of what is taught to us. And tarot cards too, if you are seeking guidance through a power which is greater than us and it is with pure intent, why is that so wrong? I bought manifestation tea and I’m sitting here asking myself if it is a sin to use it tonight which is mind boggling to even think that herbs that come from the earth are seen as sinful and even raise this discussion

I was doin ok with my face and then woke up this morning and immediately went for it. Started cursing myself out in the mirror after. Then I had a thought — is there anything we can apply to our finger tips once we wake up that won’t let us pick? Desperate here.

I got the ones that also have tea tree oil and they are much weaker than the standard regular patches. Don’t bother. Original ones suck out way more gunk.

So today we had basically nothing in the fridge to cook so I made a meal out of nothing and boy am I glad I did! I get sick and tired of plain old white rice so I used whatever random vegetables we had - bell peppers carrots celery onion garlic. Chopped them all up and sautéed them in beef tallow. Don’t forget to season. Set aside. Cooked some seasoned shrimp in tallow using the same pan. Save some of the leftover seasoned shrimpy tallow to put in my rice —

In a separate pot cooked rice using one chicken stock cube and one shrimp stock cube. Mixed everything altogether and it was great. Got some nice texture from the veggies. Next time I will add mushrooms, broccoli, and some chickpeas as well. Didn’t have those things on hand today.

Anyone have any success with this? I heard/read that it works
