The first one, hands down.

I'm just looking to make some new friends.

just go ahead and join a club or something... 🙂

restlesshound27 said:I try to stick to that routine, especially during the summer months... back when I was living in Australia, I used a mix of jojoba and olive oil, but out here, I mostly just stick to olive oil...

By the way—just so we're clear—you're supposed to apply those oils while your skin is still wet. You know that, right? 😘

restlesshound27 said:My biggest issue right now—honestly, it’s driving me a little crazy—is my knees. Over the last year or two, the skin there has started acting up so badly; it's just bunching up and looking all wrinkled and uneven... and frankly, it’s starting to worry me. I really don't want to be forty years old and looking like I'm seventy! It’s such a drag. Because of that, I’ve been sticking mostly to dresses and pants that cover my knees just to hide it—it's honestly embarrassing, especially once summer hits and you actually want to wear something light.😳

If you want to make a decent scrub at home—I’m talking the real deal—you could just go old school with some cornmeal, honey, and olive oil... honestly, those little DIY kitchen hacks are just pure bliss.😬 For crying out loud, just smear it on already! 😘

...and for heaven's sake, make sure you're drinking as much water as possible—seriously, stay hydrated! 🙏

Casey Clark29 said:I’m literally crying my eyes out every single day and I am just so incredibly depressed about it. I honestly have no clue what to do anymore. Does anyone here actually know how to deal with this?

But, if you don't mind me asking—what's actually causing all this sadness? 😘

Alexander Allen11 said:it's just—because of that, I ended up getting slapped with a penalty and losing points... and nobody even bothered to give me a heads-up about it...

What kind of penalty and what points are we talking about here?😬
I honestly haven't heard a single word about this situation...😕

Megan Peterson87 said:No, obviously a doctor has to prescribe that stuff first.
It works on bleeding in a way pretty similar to birth control, except—well, it’s not actually contraception.

Thanks for the heads-up. 🙂

Actually, my issue isn't even really about having heavy periods—it's more that they just drag on forever... I'm talking like 7 or 8 days long. 😠

And as for the cramps... right before my "aunt" arrived😬 I took a couple of Advil (maybe two or three, just one a day) and honestly? I didn't feel a single thing. No pain at all. 😍

Megan Peterson87 said:just grab something light, or at least some Dabroston.

Wait, what even is "Dabroston"? 😬
Is that something a doctor prescribes, or can you just pick it up over the counter at a CVS without a script?😬

briskgull27 said:There's definitely something you're missing about his story.

Nah, not really... just wanted to say hey. 🙂

just because they haven't got the slightest clue what real life is actually about.

The bottom line:

"Human desires are as endless as the thirst of someone drinking seawater—it brings zero satisfaction, yet the craving just keeps intensifying."

Drew Bennett2 said:Man, just walk away from all that nonsense.

You’ve got an amazing woman by your side—stay happy and don't go looking for trouble elsewhere, because if you start chasing something else, you're liable to end up losing everything.

🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

Anthony Sanders53 said:I get where you're coming from, but I don't think the issue is me, or even her. I wasn't really exaggerating when I talked about her qualities. It's more like... I guess I just have this constant need to prove myself to myself? I don't know, it's hard to put into words.

I honestly think your relationship just needs a little spark! 😍 And obviously, I mean with your partner! 😍

So, does your conscience actually bother you? I mean, seriously—how would you even feel if you ended up cheating on your wife?

Honestly, I’ve got this nagging feeling that there’s something fundamentally off about your relationship—and I mean that despite all the incredible qualities your girlfriend brings to the table. 😕
I just can't shake the notion that sooner or later, you're going to end up folding and giving in to someone else entirely. 😢

I’m not going, and frankly, I couldn’t care less if I did.

How is that even possible??????

Look—if we’re actually looking at the global population figures from back in 2005—which was roughly 6.45 billion people, by the way—then a 1% statistic for schizophrenia is actually an incredibly tiny fraction when you weigh it against the entire world population.😘

Taylor Campbell4 said:Exactly, that's the core of it.

P.S. Regarding those statistics on what schizophrenia actually is—specifically its origins—I honestly think there's a lot of confusion out there, and nobody can claim to know for sure. Science, even within American medicine, is constantly shifting its perspective.

Exactly—and you have to consider that since only about one percent of the population deals with schizophrenia, what happens then? How does it even work...? It’s just endless questions and very few actual answers...

well, medicine *is* a science, after all 😛

....science, generally speaking, just fascinates me. 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

Donna Campbell6 said:Basically, he argues that people "break" because society itself is totally dysfunctional. It’s about those crazy patterns you see in families... just being unable to handle the weight of the world. He almost suggests that Sch. isn't some disease, but more like a "journey" someone takes to try and find themselves. Back in the sixties and seventies, his ideas really shook up the whole psychiatry scene. His books were huge hits back then: "split self", "experience politics", "fact of life", "me and the others", and stuff like that...

Hmm... I don't know about all that. 😬

So, I did a little digging online and stumbled upon this—

What isn't schizophrenia?

Schizophrenia doesn't mean a "split personality," nor is it caused by traumatic childhood circumstances, personal weakness, or laziness. Even within psychiatric circles, you hear all sorts of "exotic"—and frankly, totally wrong and harmful—hypotheses regarding its origins. For instance, you'll hear talk about "schizophrenogenic mothers," double-blind communication styles, oral fixation, or the weakening of ego boundaries as supposed causes. One of the bizarre and inaccurate interpretations of how schizophrenia starts is the idea that it is actually a normal reaction to an abnormal world! It’s painfully obvious that all these theories cause immense damage to both the patients and their families, creating extra layers of suffering on top of what the illness itself already imposes.
