  • I do the bare minimum. Avoid touching my face (and fail while bored at work so I always get pimples where I use my hand to prop my head on the desk), wash it once or twice a day and **make sure to use sunscreen of SPF30 or more, 50+ preferably when going outside. ** Really if you hydrate well and your skin has no issues, best you can do is protect the status quo. UV radiation is what speeds up skin aging, not to mention the other issues it can cause. Moisturizers are also a good idea, especially during winter (assuming you live in a temperate area). I personally don’t bother with them mainly because I forget.

    Just had a sheetmask and enjoyed it but I have no idea where to start generally in terms of it.

    They’re always a treat. I dislike them for personal reasons but I see them as a treat, they can get really pricey if you use them daily 😅. Start small and don’t look at the popular influencers using a ton of products on their face. Listen to your skin and recognise when you actually need to use certain products.




  • “only (es)citalopram” withdrawal made me feel like I have a 9 volt in my brain zapping me every time I move my eyes. And that was during controlled tapering. It took me 6 months proper for them to go away. Now on my third month of tapering Trazodone which worked well for me with very little side effects but I feel ready to face the world with as little medication as possible. Funny thing, Trazodone doesn’t give the brain zaps but the withdrawal headaches rival migraines. Going from 150mg to 75 was a piece of cake. Going from 75 to 50 made me question if I should really do this. Now alternating between 25 and 12.5 every other day, things are looking much better.

    I also have a cabinet full of different antipsychotics and antidepressants. These lil buggers saved my life in more ways than one. Bipolar sucks but I’m glad to be in remission for now!
