Oh my god. Happiness is FullCheekFriday.

r/keto would beg to differ.

Can we have pictures of your arms for /r/forearmporn?

I pick the skin around my cuticles really badly and used to pick my acne. Things that worked for the acne picking was getting a good skincare regimen that didn't involve punishing my skin.

For my cuticles it was getting into having my nails done and doing home manicures. I've fallen off the wagon a few times recently due to stress but I'm getting there. Basically turning something that is a bad habit into a self care habit I guess. I bought some Dior Abricot Creme for my nails that I like a lot.

The same could go with hair, eyelashes and eyebrows. Get some really nice hair care products, lash/brow serums or something. So when you feel the need to do the bad thing it ends up being a moment you take to pamper and do something nice and soothing instead.

Hi,

I have endometriosis although not positively confirmed as they won't give me a laparoscopy yet until I've had an IUD for 9 months at least. At one point my doctor suggested that an IUD can reverse endometriosis. Is this actually true?

I'm resistant to getting an IUD as I'm likely to want to start a family in the next year. I have childhood sexual trauma and a massive fear of medical procedures. I just want them to do a lap, sort my endo out because I'm terrified of coming off birth control (mini pill) and the excruciating agony that I get. I still get a lot of pain and symptoms while on the pill but not nearly as bad without.

Why must I jump through these hoops?
