What's Bothering You?

My boyfriend of 10 years cheated on me last year. I've been on my own ever since and I've been doing okay. But it bothers me that when something big happens in my life, I still think about him.

Cystic acne is making me want to cry. My skin isn't perfect and I usually have a few other spots and blackheads and then I usually get one cystic spot around my period. It's bothersome and I wish it didn't happen but it's always been whatever. Lately though my skin has just been Extra Angry at me because I've had so many of these terrible spots. Three on my chin and one up by my ear?? They hurt so much, I try not to pick at them but I almost always end up doing it anyways which makes them worse, and then they leave terrible marks behind. I picked up some new Benzoyl Peroxide face wash & a spot treatment but I can't tell if it's helping or not since it's so new and I've heard it can make your skin worse before it gets better. I thought I'd leave acne behind in my teens but no, I guess not

I sympathize with you. I'm in my forties and have been battling acne my whole adult life. I have to rotate the acne products I use every so often because I feel like my skin gets too used to them and they stop working. I started using Clean and Clear Advantage system a few months ago and it's been working rather well and also doesn't cost a lot.

I hope you can find something that works well for you.

I don't remember what it's like to be around my dogs from back home. I used to miss them so much, but now it's like something has switched in my brain and now I barely remember them.

Spoiler: personal minor stuff

One of my closest friends didn’t want to tell his cousin to not text me, which was to him picking a side, so talking to him about not only the three years of anger towards his cousin is out of the question if something that wasn’t requiring him for any stance was seen as asking him to side with me.

You've been consistently bringing up this same scenario for a long time now, so I feel it's worth weighing in. I think your close friend was in the right; it wasn't a good idea to ask him to get in-between you and his cousin. If you have a problem with his cousin then it would have been better to tell him directly that you no longer wish to remain friends rather than trying to get a third party to do it for you - especially when that third party is his relative. Had he done that for you, the action alone would have shown that your friend was on your side and not his own cousin's side which then would have started a disagreement between family members. If a friend asked me to do this for them I would have turned down their request for the exact same reason he did.

I swear my health insurance is cursed. Everything was fine, until suddenly they somehow lost my bank informations. Whatever, I can just send it again, right? WRONG. I did send it to the adress they told me to send it to, just to have it returned to me 3 weeks later, because it was apparently a non existing adress. I write them a mail, they tell me to send me the bank informations via this mail adress, I do that, no more answer. Whatever, they just take long, happens! Nope, 1 YEAR later and still nothing has changed. Sending it by post again to a adress I found online, where it clearly says it's for this. Gets returned to me again. Today I wanted to finally try and contact them again.. and what happens? My internet provider starts having problems and now I have the slowest internet on earth and can't even access the website of my health insurance. Now you might be thinking "why doesn't she just go to a building of them?" I did and this donkeys told me to send it by mail and that I can't bring it to them in person LMAO. I will never be able to get the money back for all my doctor appointements, ugh U-U

I wouldn't mind too much, but it's 25€ per visit and I have to go every 3 months.. so imagine how much I already spent just this year alone and what I could get for this money, if only I could ever get it back..

Ugh… fell asleep around 1:30 a.m. and woke up around 4:30 a.m. And now it’s too late to go back to sleep because I have a meeting I have to go to today (I’m not the kind of person who can get restful sleep for just a couple hours). Welp, I’m going to need some coffee and it’ll be a long day, but I won’t let it ruin my mood.

The people in my neighbourhood are not grasping the severity of dementia and that the lady in question who sadly has the debilitating disease can clearly no longer look after her dog properly. She either forgets to put it on a lead and it runs off or it escapes when the side gate to her home is left open, yet everyone seems to think it's okay to just take the dog home and let the situation repeat itself. The dog deserves to be in a safe environment and with someone more cognitive that can give it the life it deserves because at this rate its life is going to be cut short due to negligence that could be avoided now.

Just to add I know what it's like to witness family members with dementia and the hard decisions that come with this situation which can sometimes includes the welfare of beloved family pets.

Thank you so much I’ll stick with my current new face wash right now to see if it helps - fingers crossed it does. I was told benzoyl peroxide is good for cystic acne so here’s hoping. I’m sorry you’re struggling with acne too, it’s such a bother

So our internet decided to be wonky for several hours this morning. It was working off and on, but the loading times for everything were still very slow. Glad it’s working again, but man am I going to miss that time I won’t get back. Also, Twitter locked the account I use to send screenshots from my Switch with, so I guess I’m just done using Twitter for good. There’s other ways to upload my screenshots, so I won’t miss using that site.

I just feel like I wanted to delete my account but apparently I have too many things posted so I cannot delete it. This just feels being locked in a prison. when I cannot delete my account when there is SO MANY other websites that allow this and they remove everything just fine, but I know this is a fan made website where it doesn't have enough power to do this so maybe thats why it would be so much hard work to delete everything. I've already had a hard week and getting attacked for voicing my opinion on certain things and then I be called "rude" or just feeling like everything I say on this website doesn't matter anymore.

I know they are going to tell me "but you have been really positive" no its not that. Its that when I am "FORCED" to be positive all the time I find myself getting emotions all bottled up and it always damages my mental health and it makes me not want to post anymore threads. Thats the reason why I stopped posting threads because whenever I criticized Animal Crossing or talk anything else I always get comments saying "Oh you're just overacting" and "Oh I find what you're saying rude" then I worry they would report me to you guys and then you would give me warning points as if I was doing something wrong.

Look its been a hard 2 weeks for me and I am already feeling like this is just not the place for me. I know in the past I've talked about this that I would come back whenever I want, but I just feel like it won't change anything.

Ever since I changed my username from "SoraFan23" to "RoxasFan20" nobody knows who I am now and they just feel like I am like a new person. It just won't change anything. I knew I should've never posted that many threads but then I worry about people who try to bring up my past of what I said and try to use it against me

I don't know you and haven't been here for more than a couple of days, so I can't really comment on you as a person/poster on here or whatever is happening in that respect. But I believe if you really wanted to get rid of all your posts, you can do so yourself. It would take a while if you've posted a lot, but if it's what you really wanted then it can be done. Just go to edit, then delete your post. You might have to leave one word like "deleted" or something, but everything you wrote would be gone.

Nobody should feel locked into something that's meant to be there for fun. If this place is making you very unhappy you could always log out, either forever or just to take a break. There's no shame in that. If it's the posts you want gone though, try the editing thing. All the best to you!

I'm about to have my birthday tomorrow and have tickets for Black Widow, a movie I've been waiting for for 10 years. Yet the fear of having my family call to 'wish me a happy birthday' but also to remind me why I hardly ever talk to them is giving me some serious nightmares. I'm so tired and feel just sick from the fear of just talking to them.

I have a weird sleeping schedule. I sleep at like 12 am and wake up 5 am (it's actually 5 am rn), can't sleep, play a bit of genshin, then suddenly get sleepy again and wake up at 10/11 am. Idk I'm not even bothering to fix it lol

My work's remote connection has been up and down all day. I finally went to logout for the day at 4:30 and it went down again. It's now 5:00 and I still can't get back on to logout. :/

My therapist is moving to a new building soon, and I’m kind of intimidated by it. It’s really big and I’m used to the small cozy offices I’ve been going to for years. She assures me the vibe is good and strives to make it as comfortable as possible, but i’m still not looking forward to it. I could still visit someone else office since she’s just going indepenent from them but yeah @_@

Sorry if it sounds silly but my environment has such a huge impact on my mood. Time of day and weather in particular.

I don't think that sounds silly at all. I completely understand. I wish you the best of luck with the transition.
