    What's on my mind is that all the other women here (and that I encounter) seem to not have much in the way (or any) forehead creases, yet mine are massive. Now it's all I can see or think about and it's bothering me. They are a permanent fixture on my face and now I have to see them every time I look in a mirror. I can't unsee them.
    Retinoids and filters 😆

    ETA: i mean, that’s one way

    I take retinoids for acne. Hasn't done much for my massive forehead creases. The filters I can grant you. Still, kinda depressing.

    Ive seen your selfies. I didn’t notice creases. But I guess we’re all self-conscious about our own perceived flaws.

    That makes me feel slightly better than other people may not see them. I mean, they were so noticeable in the last selfie that I was like "daaaaaaaaaaym." It was startling cause I kinda gloss over and forget half the time what I look like.

    I have very overactive muscles in my forehead and my deep creases were all i ever noticed either. I was doing some laser treatments on some hyperpigmentation on my face a few years ago and i asked if there was anything they could do about it. They suggested botox. At first i was like uhh nope, i don’t want to look permanently frozen, but they explained the process way more in depth so i tried it. Two years later I’m still getting it done 🤦🏼‍♀️

    Probably seems vain i guess. It was such a constant thing on my mind that i was just relieved there was something i could try. The first few times i had some lowering of my brows and almost quit doing it but they said they just needed to tweak where they injected it. I was also pleasantly surprised to learn that i can still retain lots of movement in my face. My kids still definitely know when im giving them a mom scowl. And my face doesn’t feel frozen or numb or anything.

    Side bonus: it makes my tension headaches so much better. I used to massage my forehead all the time because it was constantly aching. Technically i could probably see a dr about it so i could get botox covered by my insurance but I’m too embarrassed and/or lazy to go to that level of work. It costs me a little more (but not much more) than what i used to spend on the bazillions of creams I bought to try to fix it before but at least botox is actually effective🤷🏼‍♀️😁

    Nah, you do you. Is that why my creases have always been dominant since I was a teenager? Muscles? Really? I might have to keep botox in mind as I get massive migraines. I just got done with a month long bout of waking up with them every morning. :(

    If you have headaches it’s definitely worth looking into medically. I’m not sure if they do it differently when it’s medical but I’m pretty sure its still in the forehead so I’m guessing there’s still the cosmetic benefit. But yes, overactive muscles are generally the culprit!

    My boyfriend of 2 and a half years cheated on me with a girl I found out about via text. When I confronted him about it, he said everything was true. Then he went to another state on a mission to sleep with her again almost immediately afterwards :) Good week so far! 10/10

    I'm sorry that happened to you.. totally sucks 😔

    Oh wow! Do you have an open relationship clause you'd forgotten about? Now that you know, and he has punctuated his dalliances again, are you moving on?

    We've broken up, but we live in the same house. This the most painful week of my life.

    Hack I have used for years.

    1:1 parts rubbing alcohol & vinegar. Use an eye dropper. About 1tsp per ear.

    I'm so sorry you had to deal with this at all. Guess he will likely be fast tracking his exit from your shared abode? Or will that be your opt out ?

    I got accepted so I'm a mix of "Awesome" and "oh crap"


    I don’t know what this means so this is me asking what this means

    Writers workshop with limited spots. Had to submit a writing sample n all that—mostly excited? But I’m gonna need a “piece” to submit soon and I honestly hadn’t planned that far ahead so that’s the “crap” part

    Pack up your life and move forward physically and mentally. Some men are just not good humans.
