Getting my first round of botox tomorrow. Nervous an excited! I’m 38 so hoping it will help me last longer in the industry (I’m too young to be pushed out yet but thinking in the future)

Gnarly. What a bummer that the industry has led anyone down a path of believing they need to do this.

Sincerely wish you well.

Don’t be nervous. I hate needles but these ones are tiny. Like a mosquito bite.

It takes almost 2 weeks to take full effect, and everything can be fixed.

You’re perfect the way you are, but if this adds to your confidence, I’m behind you all the way! You got dis!

I am not sure what they meant but Botox is not reversible like fillers, you have to wait for it to wear off and how long it takes depends on your individual metabolism, although supposedly exercising a lot helps speed it up.

If you’re doing forehead, go for as few units as possible and add more later if necessary (once it’s settled in). I did it for the first time too, recently (at 39) and went whole hog and really overdid it, couldn’t even open my eyes all the way. I think it’s better to slowly adjust to it and figure out exactly which muscles you want to freeze.

You pay by the unit, not by the visit, so you just pay for product

Update: I didn’t do it. It doesn’t really fix my problem areas and it was twice the price I had estimated. How are ya’ll affording this?!

Can't answer the Botox question. I'm 39 but have never tried or even considered it. But, do you have a basic prescription skincare regimen? Tretinoin and azelaic acid. Start now and the benefits will keep your skin in better condition for years to come. If you have decent insurance, they're affordable and available as generics. Also, sunscreen religiously.

Salam. 23M here - all my life I’ve had my back on our faith - never really prayed but had imaan (I guess). After bouts of depression from girl problems (🙄), issues within immediate family, being disappointed expectations I had for myself, etc. I’ve been working on bettering my situation over the years. Faith is the only area where I think I need more guidance. Having trouble relating to friends or family about this. Anyone else been thru something similar? How have you connected back to Islam?

Having trouble landing a decent job, I am 4 years post bachelors, environmental science. I can not seem to land a job above minimum wage. My last position (horticultural assistant) found myself taking on a good amount of projects that were being left unfulfilled, due to coworker politics (a few co worker’s wanted to see the supervisor fall short of expectations) in addition I had difficulty with my manager( sexual harassment) I rejected their advances, and I was laid off in December

I can’t stand our open office so every day I go to the bathroom and hide out for 15 minutes of sanity/checking my apps so people can’t see me “not doing work” in public.

I left my job without having anything else lined up otherwise I would have had a mental breakdown. I’m not even in that great of a financial place, but it was my job or my sanity. I know at least three other people who, in the past few months, have left with nothing lined up. I feel like it’s something we need to be talking more about. This isn’t normal for people to be doing this right?
