/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Has anyone ever been in cosplay during a tragedy? Must be really awkward.

I was dressed as Yuri Plisetsky when I found out my sister was cheating on me with another brother.

>show your fashionable mom your order from Axes Femme
>tfw she calls you a prude

>>9670327
Was dressed as ryu when I got the message that best friends mom died.

>tfw fiance

That feel when all you want to do is have a cute home with your partner and have a lolita tea meet with your friends at your cute home regularly and make cakes and decorate and make cute things for a living...

But instead you gotta make due with living in a literally shitty share house, only wearing lolita occasionally and never cooking anything nice or inviting friends over thanks to the state the housemates keep the house in, while you save up to make the dream come true.

>>9670495
Baking cakes is unironically pretty hard

>>9670500
Depends on the type of cake.

>Have a lotita dress altered
>Couldn't really breath well in it since it was tight around my chest
>Must be bigger boobs from age
>Seamstress is lovely and gets me to try it on to make sure it fits even adds a bit extra for breathing room.
>Still a bit to tight and hard to fit and we just can't work out why
>End up keeping dress in my wardrobe for ages.
>Laying on bed with bf chilling one day
>"hey anon, did you notice your ribs are uneven?"
>Never noticed for 28 years I had uneven ribs.
>Only just realised this is why I can't fit in some of my dresses perfectly.

I could have surgery done but they say its painful as hell and I'm not really having issues breathing in anyway from it. Guess I have to stick to certain cuts for now or buy dresses with bigger sized chests to make up for it.

tfw I have been underweight, flatschested, and waifish my whole life and can fit into any burando I want to but my chronic shitty skin ruins any of my attempts at looking cute because im permanently pizza faced and I have yet to find a foundation that doesnt cake and crack or just look like total shit on my face.

>tfw you've lost weight to the point where your brand you got altered to fit your smaller size is also too big
>tfw you can't wear short sleeved OPs or blouses without long gloves because you have so many bruises people will assume you are a victim of domestic abuse
>same for OTKS, I have to stick to tights
>tfw you'll have to wear wigs daily pretty soon if your hair starts thinning again


The bruises are the fucking worst because I live somewhere hot. At least the weather is cooling off so it won't seem so weird.

>>9670476
God I want to twist Marco's chest hairs while he feeds me frosted flakes in bed.

>>9670554
Cancer?

>>9670569
extreme anorexia has the same symptoms as those listed, but both are bad so whatever is wrong I hope that anon gets better soon.

>reading threads
>posters harshly pick on things that seem even minor to me
>god forbid your looks or outfit have any issues slightly beyond minor
maybe these posters are not very representative of what people in general tend to feel or think
but browsing clg does not exactly help ones confidence if it is not already particularly high

>>9670545
Have you tried going on birth control anon? It was miraculous for my friend with horrible acne, she looked like a different person.

>>9670580
hi newfag

>>9670569
No,

>>9670579
This anon is right. I have AN. I was doing so well too and was at a low but non detrimental weight and didn't want to fucking die every day but it creeped back up on me and now everything is terrible.

>>9670582
yes I tend to struggle to stay for too long at a time

>>9670587
have you considered not taking shit absolute strangers say to heart?

>>9670327
>sister
>brother

Either I'm confused with English, or were you in an incestuous relationship??

>>9670585
Anon, you can do it. You said yourself that you got to a better place before, so you absolutely can do it again. I don't know your situation or the things that make this time different to before when you were at a better weight, but I do know you're a strong badass who kicked AN in the face, so even if it takes longer this time or it's harder, I believe you can do it again.
Don't give up, tomorrow can only be better if you're still here to make it better.
Good luck!

>>9670554
this post sounds like it was written by me, except i'm not ana. i'm just a depressed fuck who forgets to eat and falls down the stairs a lot. wearing a short sleeve OP and it's fucking massive and my bruises are showing so i feel like a goof but this is fine

>>9670592
there are a lot of strangers in the world though. I do not know enough people to have a feel on how prevalent stuff like that is in the "real world"

>>9670594
I thought I was her only brother, but she had a secret one.

>>9670476
>tfw fiance and I were looking at this picture the other day
>tfw he mistook this post as mine and I mistook this post as his

>>9670603
Generally speaking, unless you're a danger to public well-being, no one will say anything to your face. If you are nice, they might try to helpfully offer tips on ways to improve your outfit in a polite way, but if you're on your guard or hostile, they have no reason to be nice to either. Most people that talk shit like that do so in private only, and if you are unfortunate to find loud obnoxiously rude people, then just avoid them until they grow up.
This is excluding the assholes on the street that yell shit at you from their friend's car and that sort of degenerate though. Not much to be done about those people.

>>9670598
It's just a switch that goes off in my head and it's such a struggle to change it.

Like it's not even stuff that would make sense to trigger a relapse. Someone who I've admired for a very long time expressed obvious interest in me when we saw eachother for the first time since 2010 and my immediate response was "LOL he doesn't actually like you, shut up and starve yourself until he does." He was very obviously interested but my mind refuses to let be actually BELIEVE it and it just sent me into a spiral of this bullshit.

Right after I saw him my lifelong overly controlling mother decided to try and stick her nose into my shit even though I'm an adult and desu it just made it a lot worse.

I fainted while at the hospital seeing my grandmother and my mom told me I shouldn't tell anyone to "distract" from my grandmother. So I know I won't get help if I ask.

>>9670581
I've been on birthcontrol for a long time now, and I've been on 2 full trials of accutaine.
It stemmed the cystic breakouts for a little while during college but the older I get, the worse it gets all over again.
I've just got horrible genes, and nothing I've ever tried has eased it. It blows.

>>9670476
>>9670609
whores

>>9670610
I suppose worrying what people think is one of the things it is tricky for me to get over
even if I can reason here and now that it is not something I should be worrying about, sticking to it is difficult when actually around people

>>9670614
>forced meme

>>9670614
Sorry you don't have a loving fiance who wants to feed you frosted flakes in bed anon.

>>9670327
I was at a Renaissance Faire when I found out a friend died. Not a great weekend.

>>9670611
>>9670618
That's really rude of your mother. I hope the rest of your family is not like her, and understand that people can care about two people at the same time. I'm sorry that your grandma is in hospital, that must he difficult, but it's not your fault, and you deserve help too.

I can relate to that feeling of not believing someone/something despite evidence particularly when it comes to anything positive about myself, so I know it can be so hard in the moment to snap out of that negative thinking.
The thing that helped me best was mindfulness exercises from DBT(Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), it might be helpful for you to look into as well.

Like I said before, I believe in you, you've proven it to yourself before that you can do it, and if it takes a little while to get back there, that's okay. It's hard to fight something like an ED, especially when you don't have much support around you.
But I believe in you, you are stronger than you know, and I genuinely hope you feel better soon.
Good luck.

Welp there goes my chance and excitement.

>>9670682
She could still be cool, give it a shot.

Plenty of nationalists aren’t against the existence of nonwhites

>>9670327
I don't know if counts, but my friend was in a convenience store near a con once when it was held up at gunpoint and had to be interviewed by the police all while in Sailor Mars.

>>9670725
How cool to know that there's a possibility she will tolerate anon's non-whiteness as opposed to wanting anon to die.

>>9670327
My friend was dressed as Chloe Prince from Stranger Lives when she tried to fart on her boyfriend's lap and crapped herself.

I laughed so hard I nearly blacked out, and a con nurse had to bring me some water.

>>9670327
My friend was dressed as Chloe Prince from Stranger Lives when she tried to fart on her boyfriend's lap and crapped herself.

I laughed so hard I had a seizure. It was a fucking mess.

>>9670682
She sounds cool, anon. Where do you go to uni that it's not just infested with SJWs? I'm planning on wearing D. Walkure to class someday in hopes of attracting some people more aligned with me.

>>9670756
where did kirino go I liked her more

>>9670608
are these code words?? How does a sister have a secret brother?
(English is not my first language, bare with me)

I fixed a detail in the post and changed the image. Sorry.

>>9670762
>bare with me
Wow anon, lewd.

>>9670612
*Amateur aesthetician*
It sounds like the birth control might be causing it anon. I went on BC once and developed cystic acne afterwards (I use to have a lil acne before, but nothing like what it turned into)

Got off it, detoxxed, and I drink a shit ton of water, I cut out caffeine (it is a huge component for a lot of people) and dairy. Only caffeine I drink is green tea and it's good for your skin and longevity.

I haven't broken out since. If your problem was hormonal, usually you would have weight issues (like over weight) which you do not have, so it might be lifestyle?

1) Try cutting stuff out gradually, and keep a food journal. You'll have to be patient, but it'll be worth it.

2) Do not, I repeat, DO NOt, exfoliate everyday!! My acne got so bad from doing it. Some people's skin cannot take exfoliating, especially acne prone skin. Exfoliaters with little beads can actually be really harmful for sensitive skin. At the max, once a week should be fine.

3.) R O U T I N E is the most important, and use a maximum of 3 products. Too many will confuse your skin and throw off your pH. I recommend Paula's Choice, it's forty bucks, and their three step system is miraculous.

4.)
-Morning: gentle rinse once/apply light weight moisturizer
-Night: Rinse twice/optional night cream (only if you have dry skin)

>>9670767
>only use three products

Always laugh when I see this advice. As long as you aren't using products that directly conflict with eachother this is absolute nonsense. The only issue that would come up is if you don't do your research and use products that shouldn't go together.

>>9670327
Friend had a grand mal seizure within the first 10 min of the first day at a con.

>waiting in line to listen to lil kuriboh speak
>wasn't into him, but my friend was
>she was so excited since she's been a fan for awhile
>I ask her "Hey can I have my water bottle"
>I was looking at my phone
>no response
>I turn around, and notice she's on the ground
>She's full on convulsing on the ground and she starts to weirdly scream
>fuq.png

Ambulance came, but before that, she got up after her 2 minute seizure and tried to run? Someone's dad had to hold her down because she was confused and could have another.

Luckily, I'm trained in knowing what to do so I timed her seizure, and made she she was laying on her side.
I still shat bricks though.

Little kuriboh gave her a cool video message though!

>>9670774
Every dermatologists say inconsistency doesn't prove to show much progress. It's not that the products mingling together will hurt you negatively, it's just that your skin can't get use to one or the other quickly. It's more so just wasting your time.

>>9670756
I sorta wish I could experience being a dog in people clothes

>>9670779
>use vit A serum on your face along with a BHA and AHA at the same time and wonder why your face is rekt
>b-but it's not that the products mingling together will hurt you negatively

Even more convinced you don't know what you're talking about. Please educate yourself before giving out skincare advice.

>>9670783
lol you clearly don't know anything if you think AHA and BHA can't be used together or in succession. And vitamin A is in literally every moisturizer.

I was responding to the anon that said using more than 3, I repeat 3 products at a time is fine. Inconsistency = barely any progress.
This is common sense anon.

And if paula's choice was wrecking people's skin, I'm sure it wouldn't have such positive ratings/results. Every person I've recommended it to has spoken well of it, and I personally have gotten amazing results.

It targeted for people with Cystic Acne, not some casual whiteheads. Once your acne has been controlled, you go back to a gentle routine.

One of my best cosplay friendo just announced me she's pregnant and I can't process it.
We're in our early to mid twenties, I just feel like we're so young and i'm not even truly adult in my mind. It's the first time ever in my life that such a thing happen and I just can't believe i'm at that age where you start having babies already...
I don't even know what i'm feeling, i just feel scared in a way, scared to be old already, scared things will change,...
It's so depressing

>>9670794
You CAN but prolonged using the two together and not separating them morning/night is more than likely to rek your skin.

>vitamin A is in literally every moisturizer

We're talking about concentrated vitamin A serum. Do you not know how to read? I wouldn't be surprised considering how uneducated you are with this.

And I said nothing about Paula's choice products specifically reking people's skin. Where did you pull that from? Your ass?

>>9670725
Of course I'd need to know her better to get a hint about that and her "level" of nationalism. I don't mind actual patriotism or more conservative attitudes. But I guess I'm just afraid it will be awkward trying to get to know someone who most likely initially has a bad impression of me and needing to prove myself first.
We have almost all lectures together and she does seem like a cool person aside from the hoodie so yeah, you're right. I'll at least give it a try sooner or later and will of course report the feels, I'm just kinda intimidated.

>>9670742
I get your message anon but please don't open this can or worms in here.

>>9670757
Ironically, my uni used to be pretty much Germany's lefty central. Literally everything is plastered with left-wing and SJW content.
First of all, I'm jelly. And second of all, why don't you try wearing it on Halloween or a day before? Considering you're not german of course.

>>9670794
It's common knowledge not to use too many acids on your face at the same time...

>>9670799
You pulled AHA, BHA, and vitamin A from your ass, so I thought you were trying to talk about Paula's choice?

I literally never mentioned those three either. You live for the thrill of derailing convos huh?
Sounds like you want to prove something, but have nothing to show. I can read, and you never said concentrated lol (and no, serums are not inherently concentrated)

BHA and AHA is in paula's choice products, and it says to use them together along with a vitamin A moisturizer, and guess what, it works!

>>9670804
>tfw you're German but it's your dream to own pretty much every D.Walkure item

>>9670312
>tfw someone you know went to Teddycon and peed her diaper during the rave

>>9670682
Where do you live anon? I wish I could find more like-minded natty weebs at my university.

>>9670795
Also that probably means she'll stop lolita and cosplay or not be into as much as she was and she was the ONLY one that was as much into it as I was. And she might bring her kid everywhere with her and I legit don't feel comfy around kids. It hurts. And now I learn another friend is going on a trip with her now fiancée for three months without internet. I'm feeling so lonely. I just feel like crying right now. I'm just 21, things are going too fast for my stupid autistic brain

>>9670811
I was giving examples of products that when used together for a longer period of time can fuck up your skin. But I guess I shouldn't be surprised you were too retarded to pick up on that considering everything else you've posted.

But I did specify serums, and you went and started talking about moisturizers. What a dumb cunt.

>>9670811
Also, if it works why are you telling people to just use three products and nothing more? Don't they have to use a cleanser and moisturizer? Cmon now. Use your brain.

>>9670827
Yet you listed ingredients that are in the entire acne set for Paula's choice and it works amazingly. Looks like you're still wrong :^)
Calm down anon, you're workin up a sweat.

>>9670826
You literally need to grow the fuck up lmao

>>9670820
I wish I could reach through my computer screen to stuff you in a locker

>>9670830

looks like you didn't read the rest of my first post anon, I already said that, also in the set of three, one of them is a cleanser

>>9670327
I came home and my cat was put down over the con weekend but my mom didn’t tell me because she didn’t want to spoil my time.

>>9670820
>Googles "Teddycon"
>it's a bunch of chicks who look like Chris-Chan doing "sexy" diaper pics

>>9670804
I'm Dutch and actually unsure how (un)acceptable it would be to wear it out. Then again, it's not gonna stop me either way, the set is too aesthetic.

>>9670831
You said for someone to use three products, including a moisturizer and cleanser. Where does that leave room for a BHA, AHA, AND serum? Fucking idiot

>>9670855
nayrt but I'm also Dutch and like military lolita as well and have been wondering about this exact thing. On one hand maybe it would attract more similarly aligned people as I don't really know anyone in my uni yet and everyone seems quite liberal. On the other hand I don't want to seem like a nazi.

>tfw no anti-SJW conservative military lolita gf to curbstomp tumblr dykes with

It's a pain that never ends

>>9670935
you sound like ideal boyfriend material

>>9670935
If you were a girl I would say let's date.
But you're probably anti gay so that's prolly never gonna happen
>tfw no qt military gf to mock sjws with and then cuddle while watching Kancolle

>>9670939
Don't toy with my feelings, gull
>>9670950
Gays are a-okay by me

>>9670951
You. I like you.

>>9670804
Honestly I’m left of center / libertarian with an I don’t give a shit bent, and I adore uniforms of every type. I like commie red, sailor getups, nazi propaganda, western kit, and pretty much everything in between. I’m not stupid enough to pretend that military style doesn’t conflate to any political aspects.

Point being, the anti nazi bent of late means that since they’re the BBEG, nothing good can be said about anything about them.

“Panzers are cool”
“Wow nazi”

I’ve had the equivalent of this conversation before.

So, wear your Walkure. Just bring some backup maybe?

>>9670951
I'm not toying with your feelings, all I want in life is a boyfriendo who's fine with me dressing up in pseudo cutesy nazi uniforms who wants to bully SJWs with me ;_;

>>9670935
too bad you're anon and I'm anon because trust me, they're out there.

>>9670958

>>9670963

AHA, BHA Serum?? Did I say to use a serum? The three part process is once again, in the three products for the Paula's choice kit, which I recommended.

In the acne set, each of three contains AHA, BHA and vitamin A. Man you must really hate reading.

>actually being stupid enough to think moisturizer is included in a wash routine

>dream dress, lavender Celestial OP with bonnet was up on fril, but no real proof pics
>put in request with ss, ask them to ask the seller for pics before they buy it
>order was automatically cancelled by ss because apparently the seller sent pics of a green skirt

I still don't know if it was the seller's mistake or what, and I'm glad I asked for pics, but I'm really disappointed.

Somebody put my dream dress on a two-year-old, and it was immediately shat in. I was watching over Fb live and started screaming my ass off.

I grill I just met invited me to her place to play video games with her. What do I do.

>>9671081

>>9670935
Not a military lolita but pretty much an anti-SJW conservative lolita. Good to know there are likeminded people out there

How have you gotten your con crush to ask you out? I just get so nervous and shy around him I can barely talk.

>>9670767
I guarantee the birthcontrol isnt causing it. It DOES help stem the worst of breakouts but it doesnt prevent the constant daily wave of them coming in.
It's like as soon as a cyst finally goes away, 2 more show up in it's place.
I'm not posting pics but its literally horrible. I barely have any spot on my face that isnt ravaged by red spots, I look terrible.
Finding good makeup heavily relies on the weather and how good my skin will cooperate with me on certain days, and even then you can tell that im just a pizza face wearing makeup because of all the bumps.

It's not just the physical pain of having chronic adult acne, but the phsychological despair this has caused me my entire life has made my social life and romantic endeavors nearly non existant. Even my coworkers are always commenting on it like "oh are you eating differently? Are you trying something new? Your face looks good today" I'm in absolute hell and if 12 months of accutaine couldnt fix this (look up accutaine's side effects. It was one of the worst years of my life), I honestly don't know what is left for me besides accepting that I'm just going to be disgusting forever. My 20's are already gone and it's driving me suicidal how the years I had to enjoy being cute were never even an option for me.

Unrelated, but I just accepted more training at my program that will take one more year but give me more opportunities for my career. My boyfriend is now mad at me for taking it and thinks I didn't explain things to him even though I sat with him on skype and explained the benefits and not so great outcome of not taking the extra training right out of my other training.

I'm really angry he's treating me like I'm the asshole when he's the one I have to rotate my job around in the future because apparently my job is 'more flexible.'

Lolita related, at least I get to decorate my apartment sort of now. It won't be anything fancy and permanent like the lolita room thread, but it won't look like college/plastic walmart aesthetic either. Kind of excited for that at least.

>inb4 dump him

>>9670916
Anon, let's be friends. Another Dutch lolita in uni who isn't a complete liberal is someone I would like to meet.

>>9671402
nayrt but I'm also Dutch and would also love to meet fellow non-liberal lolita's.

>>9671322
>My 20's are already gone and it's driving me suicidal how the years I had to enjoy being cute were never even an option for me.

although for different reasons, I totally feel that. it's hard with all of the lost opportunities dragging behind me. I still try though. I wear lolita when I go out, and I cosplay in my room by myself on occasion, but it still really hurts that I'll probably be the loner cat lady because I didn't have any opportunities to be cute and meet anyone who loves me.

PC culture is cancer

gf that I haven't seen in months was supposed to visit for halloween week. Planned to take her on dates and wear lolita out with her a lot. Got my work schedule for this coming week and find out that I work nearly every day for long shifts- theres no point in her coming up. Just cried a lot about it and now I'm reading cgl threads to calm down.

>>9671632
Is there any way you can bribe your coworkers to pick up one of the shifts for you?

Found one of my old school dream items recently. It seemed a bit spendy, but the seller had said that it had never been worn and had been sitting in their closet. Most of the other times I have seen it there are armpit stains or missing sleeves or other types of damage. So anyway, I decided to go for it. Messaged seller and they responded saying they'd ship it out after the weekend and send tracking, but I have yet to hear from them and it's been a while now... I've messaged them a couple times asking if they managed to send it, etc. I have no problems if people are busy and didn't manage to ship it out for a bit, but at least tell the person??? Stressed and kinda sad.

>>9671322
I'm so sorry anon, but it's not too late to keep trying and get rid of it. What have doctors said in the past? And I've never met a girl that's been Ok'd to take accutaine, so it must be serious.

Honestly, you should just try taking drastic steps. For instance, I know some people who go vegan to help their skin (but desu this isn't really proven and it doesn't always work), there's tons of youtubers who do video diaries showing their results. But again, I'm iffy on it.

It can't hurt though.

Get your blood work done to see if you are you low in Omega 3/6, or B12.

I finally blocked you. Don't try to contact me.

What you messaged me was rude, especially after I told you about my ED.

>>9671688
Yeah I got on accutaine when I was 19 only after a religious year with a dermatologist. 2 kinds of birthcontrol, monthly blood tests, the whole 9 yards.
I'm on supplements for iron deficiency right now but I've never been told about the possibility of other deficiencies. A lot of doctors I go to think it's a thyroid problem but I've tested negative for anything they look for.
I'm considering trying an IUD next since I'm told it has better effects for combating hormones than the pill.
I'm not a vegan but I've already cut out soda and fast food from my diet a long time ago. I'd take the step towards Keto but it's still pretty daunting to me in terms of cooking and it's strict guidelines.

Speaking as someone who brought her acne severity from a 7/10 to 3/10, this is probably the most time consuming method besides being random, but it also gave me good results.

Pick a common acne trigger food like dairy. Reduce it over one week and stay off it for two weeks. Every few days take a pic of your pizza and save it in an album on your device. After that time if there is any difference, keep doing it for three more weeks and see if it gets even better. If not go back to square one, pick something else.

Keto works but it’s like taking a sledgehammer to a finer issue. Your skin may not be triggered by all of those things, but some might be true.

Besides that exercise and face routine are the obvious things. I’ve had great success with the Korean method but I’m also korean so ymmv

Good luck anon! Remember, many others struggle just like you. You are still a cute and worthy person even if your skin betrays you.

I feel like the community has changed so much. I see other people still having fun with it but I'm just an outsider to it all.

>>9671774
Find at least one other person to go to cons with, work on cosplays with and discuss ideas with. Just getting stuck in after a year really helped motivate me to actually start making stuff again.

My husband and I just got our offer accepted on our dream house. My husband said I can decorate however I want and we'll finally be living somewhere where he has a workshop he can dump all of his tools and things that always end up cluttering our apartments. Our closet will just be for clothes because there will be other closets he can put all of his building stuff in. I can finally have a kawaii house. I won't feel embarassed to have people come over because we're trying to fit a whole house full of things in such a tiny area. I know that it will take a while to make the house perfect because things like taking out the carpet and buying furniture will come before kawaii decorations and we have a limited income until i finish school and start working but still. I'm so excited. Also i can finally unpack all of my lolita that has been in storage for the past few months!!

Crohn's anon here. I feel your pain. Are you currently taking any medication? I can not stress enough how important it is to take or change your medication. Remission is bliss and flares are hell. I hope this episode passes soon for you. If you want to be the cute cosplaying girl, then you will be the cute cosplaying girl.

I'm happy for you, anon. I'm desperate to move to a place where I can decorate from scratch. I'm tired of using my grandma's furniture.

>>9671898
I'm currently taking Apriso every morning. The doctor told me I could ask my primary care physician for pain killers to deal with the flares, but at the moment I only take Tylenol since I'm not allowed to take ibuprofen. I was in remission for so long, I almost forgot about it. The flare hit me like a bus.

Thanks for the kind words and sympathy anon. It feels good to know that someone can relate to what I'm experiencing.

>>9671888
call them

>>9671909
It feels surreal when flares hit when you've been feeling like a normal person for a while. Why do they have to come up so suddenly? Anyway, it's rare to see an IBD gull, so I figured I would speak up and share the feels. You can get through this.

Probably not /cgl/ related but I'm not sure where to ask in /fit/. You gulls seem to know more about body image more than other boards so I ask here: Do you wear a bra at home?

I haven't worn a bra at home since I was a teen and my breasts are saggy. When I look at pictures of average girls, they all seem to have normal breasts. Big or small, they're all in shape.
I know science proved that not wearing a bra is more helpful than wearing a bra because of the ligaments and whatever but how come when we see National Geographic, the tribeswomen have saggy breasts?

Before I get asked if I'm overweight, I've been both underweight and overweight and my breasts have always been a bit saggy. Will wearing a bra help? I'm going to start wearing a bra at home now while trying to lose weight. Hopefully this will help me. If any of you girls have an experience with weight loss and breast sagginess, please give me hope that it will improve at least a little bit.

>>9671923
work out, over time skin sags and loosens if you aren't working out. Regular exercise and high reps with low weight will tighten up your skin.

>>9671746
Not even close

>>9671726
He didn't do anything. They made up a whole other life for my SO, tried to convince me that's what was going on, and got upset when I didn't believe them.

>>9671923
i don't know boob science but that just might be the way they are for you? i mean it sucks but wearing a bra isn't going to reduce what already exists. being overweight at one point might have stretched out the skin as well. weight fluctuation isn't helping.

also re: tribeswomen, several pregnancies, nursing, and probably exposure to the elements are some of the prime reasons why that might be the case.

>>9671911

>>9671923
haha you got nasty saggy boobs fatty

>>9671943
Succ on my ta-tas

>>9671947
haha no you got gross ugly boobs, otherwise you wouldn't be posting about them

>>9671929
Tried and true. They looked better when I did arm/chest exercises. They aren't horrible but we're all our own harshest critics.

>>9671934
Possibly. I asked other girls about it and it seemed like those who said they didn't wear a bra at home growing up felt that they were saggier than those who wore a bra at home. Science keeps telling us that it doesn't affect it but I have my doubts.

>>9671951
That wasn't even me lmao

>>9671951
Give them a little lick lick, puss puss.

>>9671923
How old are you, for one? What size were your boobs to start with, and what size were they when you lost then gained weight? Lots of weight fluctuations can do weird things to your boobs. Mine certainly look a bit deflated after losing weight, but they aren't saggy. I went from a C to a B, and lost maybe 30 lbs.

I doubt it really has anything to do with wearing a bra and more to do with your weight loss and gain.

>tfw tiny boob

>>9671972
I'm in my early 20s. I went from 36C to to 36D when I lost weight (late bloomer?), then 38D gaining back twice the weight. Did your band size stay the same after losing 30 lbs?

>>9671940

>>9671712
>Keto works but it’s like taking a sledgehammer to a finer issue.

That's very well put, but it's also why it works. A lot of people start on it for weightloss, but what they report as "side effects" are skin clearing up, depression disappearing, and for some those positive side effects are so life changing they don't do it for the weight loss anymore (it's also possible to gain weight with keto if you have disorders that turn you into a spoopy skeleton, like anorexia or gluten intolerance).

There's not a lot of research yet, but one significant study showed that keto cures schizophrenia, which for the sufferers is life changing.

Like I said, skin clearing up is for most people just a lucky side effect, but it's definitely worth going for it with that as the main goal.

It doesn't require a lot of cooking either, if you don't have time to cook, just eat boiled eggs and drink coffee with butter and coconut oil. Find some high fat low carb peanut butter as the occasional snack, and don't worry about fiber, that's been debunked, high fiber makes bloating and constipation worse, you don't need it on a high fat diet. If you eat meat and eggs, you will definitely no longer be deficient in iron, and not even in vitamin C (it's carbs that prevent the brain from absorbing vitamin C, that's why you need a lot more of it on a high carb diet).

>If you're not an adult baby, y.
Is it unusual for lolitas to like cute shit?

>>9672048
I agree with (most) of your statements on keto.

Do you have any studies that show exactly how it cured schizophrenia? I see articles online but it doesn’t really explain what other factors were involved.

Anyway you’re totally right, but the point I meant was that if you don’t want to do keto then the slow and steady method is best. Keto is great but it isn’t for everyone.

And I’d be careful about the claim about keto and anorexics as well. Anas can gain weight on it but it can totally fuck up your metabolism if you’re too under and aren’t supervised by a doctor.

With a diet change so drastic I always reccomend a nutritionist but I know that’s not free or easy.

>>9672132
Not unusual at all, it's just the fear of being labelled an ageplayer that's prevalent in these last few years. If lolitas didn't like cute shit, they probably wouldn't be wearing lolita fashion in the first place.

>>9672134
>totally fuck up your metabolism

How totally fuck a metabolism? Starvation mode is not a thing. It's a switch from your body burning sugar to your body burning fat, and it's more efficient.

Schizophrenia is really devastating and dangerous, so the following articles are encouraging:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2652467/
>She returned for a follow-up appointment 7 days after starting the low-carbohydrate diet. She was feeling well, and noted an increase in energy. She was seen again in clinic 19 days later. When asked how she was doing, she responded that she was no longer hearing voices or seeing skeletons.

It sounds insane, but good for her.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/diagnosis-diet/201706/ketogenic-diets-psychiatric-disorders-new-2017-review

Going from psychotic to not psychotic is huge, if it comes with great skin, all the better.

Anyway, it came up because of cystic acne, which is chronic inflammation, and drastically cutting down on carbs helps curb inflammation. For anyone who's really desperate, it's definitely worth trying it out for a month. I never had cystic acne, but here's someone claiming keto cured it completely: https://www.reddit.com/r/keto/comments/4o4zt8/any_young_people_have_improved_acne_from_the_keto/

For anyone with anorexia: I've mainly seen people with binge eating disorders resolve their problem with keto (longer satiety results in lower cravings), here's a thread of people discussing it (I personally have no experience with anorexia, I went full keto years ago because of digestive issues and have never looked back, great skin was a nice bonus): https://www.reddit.com/r/keto/comments/2p78jj/eating_disorders_and_keto/

>>9671904
are you taking bad pictures or not describing it right? You could probably copy the same listing and just... edit it so it doesnt look like you stole it?

Anons, I could really do with some help. Or at least allow me to get this off my chest because I have nobody else to tell.

I'm living the lolita dream right now. Recently got with a girl who's my best friend and I'm head over heels for. We both wear lolita and go on cute dates and all that, it's great. I really feel like I've found my soulmate. We're perfect for each other and I never want to leave her.

Except in order for her to get with me, she left her boyfriend who has depression. We left it for a whole month after I confessed to her and to make it a commitment just in case we changed our minds for whatever reason, so it wasn't a rash decision. She thought it all out and handled it well with him. Everything was okay, sure her ex was having initial mourning that anybody would have after breaking up with somebody they loved, but he seemed to have cheered up after that. But now it seems like he's gone overboard and he's been talking about suicide lately because everybody he loves leaves him. I feel guilty. I feel like this is all my fault and I'm going to be the cause for somebody potentially losing their life.

As if that wasn't bad enough, but we're keeping our relationship a secret from him (because of it adding insult to injury) and he barely knows me, so it'd be weird for me to suddenly reach out to him giving him suicide hotline advice. He'd suspect something.

What the hell do I do? I can't deal with this guilt. It's dragging me down too.

>>9672300
If he ends up harming himself it wouldn't be your fault. Breakups are awful, even more so when you're depressed, but depression is an illness and it can't be cured with romantic relationships. He needs professional help, not a girlfriend. Do you know what I mean?
If your girlfriend is still in touch with his family or friends she should reach out to them about this, in case they aren't aware he's suicidal.
Easier said than done but try to drop the guilt, his mental health doesn't depend on you.

>>9672300
I've talked a lot of my friends down from suicidal talk, and I can tell you, most of the time when they're very vocal about it they are just venting. Or being emotionally manipulative. If they are like that, there's a very good chance your partner wasn't happy with that person anyway, and you just happened to come around at a good time.
Regardless, it's not your fault.
If he starts giving his stuff away in a big way, and then goes silent, call the cops to his place. If he's not killing himself, then at least they will make sure he's safe, if he is being self destructive, they will force him to get help. Unless you're from america, then maybe call a hospital to his place instead.

>>9672305
She still has his family on facebook but she's distancing herself from him. I think she feels the same way I do with all of the guilt even though she said she's doing it to not give him a false sense of hope. I'm pretty sure his family knows about the breakup, so I can hope that they'd keep an eye on him.

>>9672306
Yeah, she wasn't really happy with him because he only seemed to go to her when he needed her.

I'm hoping that it is just the case of venting/attention seeking/etc. I'm just nervous in case something does happen.

>tfw basically gotta pay friends to hang out with me
Always buy the food, drinks, and tickets at cons. O-oh well at least everyone is happy.

>>9672319
I used to be that friend, you gotta decide whether you like having people around you more than you like knowing who your real friends are and having money.
Remember, more money, more burando

>>9672300
My ex went through a similar issue after our break up, when he found out I was with someone new.
He sent a text to everyone in his phone about how he was going to a secret place to drink whiskey and take a bunch of pills.
His mum phoned me, told me it wasn't my fault and not to feel guilty.
She guessed correctly that I would have a fairly good idea where the secret place was and made me promise not to go, but to call the police and give them directions instead. They picked him up and took him to a doctor and his dad met him there.

The other anon is right- depression is horrible but having a gf doesn't save you from it. Trying to stay with someone just to help them leads to unhealthy dependancy.

>>9672300
I had a friend who stuck with the depressed (or more precisely, insane) person for 2 years, second year she couldnt do any courses for uni since it became a full time job to keep him stabilized. Worst part was that she wasnt exactly the most stable person ever, but it couldnt really be helped since they kept eachother down.

>>9672300
>Cheating on someone and breaking their heart
>Not your fault
It's 100% that girls fault for cheating on then dumping him, and immediately jumping into a new relationship
Jesus Christ how shitty can you treat someone you claimed to have loved?

>>9672350
Confessing feelings to someone else isn't cheating. Had she seen anon behind her boyfriend's back, then it would be cheating. Breaking up with him when she wasn't happy with him anymore was the right thing to do.

>>9672353
Yeah, but it didn't help at all to have the monkey strategy and go straight into another relationship immediately because she wouldn't let go of her last branch until she had a firm grasp on a new one
From his point of view I'm sure it looked like he was being cheated on the entire time

>>9672382
He doesn't know about our relationship, because we completely understand how shitty it looks.

>>9670725
>i wonder who could be behind this post

>>9672382
Allow me to emphasise the point that we spent an entire month deciding whether it was the right thing for us. We discussed whether these were just fleeting feelings, we discussed her ex, we discussed the future. We discussed every possibility possible.
My girlfriend was unhappy with him. He failed at communicating, and often times she'd find out about his manic depressive episodes from public posts rather than a private message between each other. When confronting him he'd insist nothing was wrong. She values honesty a lot and she couldn't be with somebody who lied to her frequently. If he could lie about that, what else could he lie about? Not to mention he'd easily go days without talking to her until he wanted something.

We intend to keep it between ourselves for a while. She wants to remain friends with him because they were friends for a significantly long time before dating for over a year. Flaunting our relationship would not only most likely tip him over the edge, but she's still on good terms with his mother and his friends. We're going to leave it well until next year before we even announce it as official to people.

>>9672389
She dodged a bullet anon, depressive people who make public posts to show how miserable are before talking about it to a person they trust just want attention.
If he makes posts saying he is considering to kill himself, he is not gonna do it, he just wants people to pay attention to him and tell him how good he is.
There are way too many people like that, and being with them only drags you into their depression.

Another strawman. You also seem to be utterly obsessed with spouting word 'cuck' at every opportunity to the point where you're imagining people are saying it when they're not.

The only kumquat is you for thinking people don't routinely engage in these type of retarded identity politics when it comes to people they disagree with

Went to a local con today and it really sucked to go alone. Two of my friends who said would come with me did not reply to my texts all day, and another friend was busy on a double date so I didn't want to intrude. I barely got any pictures of the con cause I was too bummed out to really do anything, and I was too shy to approach any of the cosplayers for pictures. At least I looked cute today, I guess...

Is this Bean-chan? Because I’m in your comm, and as annoyed with SJWs as you are, but I don’t think wearing something designed to resemble a Nazi uniform to class in the hope of attracting “like-minded people” is a good idea at all. You’re not going to attract critical thinkers with similar views, just edgelords with an us-vs-them mentality. Most of these people are bandwagon jumpers who pick whatever is most edgy and controversial at the time, and don’t have any real convictions beyond “I’m unhappy and that’s everyone else’s fault”. Not exactly good friend material.

Instead of fashion maybe try to get in touch with local youth-oriented conservative political groups or something? Honestly if I saw someone wear Nazi paraphernalia to class I’d avoid the fuck out of them not because I’m a SJW but because I wouldn’t be able to stand the cringe of someone who thinks they’re being clever by wearing Nazi paraphernalia to class. You might as well print some /pol/ meme on a t-shirt and wear that.
>though I’ll admit Die Walkure is much more stylish

I also really wish we could divorce certain uniform looks from the violent political ideologies they’re historically associated with, and you’re not exactly helping. It’s kinda like wearing sweet lolita to class in the hopes of finding an ageplay daddy, then turning around and saying sweet lolita has nothing to do with ageplay. Can’t you just wear military lolita and keep the politics out of it?

My work sent out an e-mail saying we can't be in costume for Tuesday, that the only thing that is allowed is 'orange and black (or purple and green! :) ). I am so annoyed right now. I know it's not about 'professionalism' because the other place across the street does crazy costumes every year.

This is literally dampening my weekend. I might just show up in lolita on Tuesday and just be like well it's how I normally dress. Worst they can do is make me change.

>t. 20 something year old lady who is still acting like a petulant child

I'm hoping writing this out will make me think clearer because I know intellectually this is a really stupid reason to possibly get me into trouble. But between the passive aggression of literally all the staff at my work, the overregulation, and having to do 90 different tasks that seem meaningless and working with the shittiest program on earth, this is kind of the last straw. Let us have some goddamn fun.

>>9672734
Just wear the brightest, most eye-searing green you can find and wear that.

>>9672747
This, or bright fucking neon orange with a few black accents here and there.

>>9672755
Or orange prison clothing

Bailed on at the last minute.

Again.

>>9672777

>>9672777
I know this feel, anon
sometime's i'd be on the way to meet someone and they'd cancel midway through the commute

I'm a christmas cake and my metabolism has slowed down, which was fine up until I had a few years of nonstop rollercoaster stress: think family deaths, pet deaths, shattered relationships, extreme moves, the whole thing. Now even though I'm out of the stress zone, I'm too potato-shaped for half my wardrobe. I know if I work out I can get back into it, but it's just so fucking hard to get motivated properly.

>Cosplay buddy recently came to be saying she thinks she’s pregnant despite being on those 10 year IUDs and about to hit 4 years.
>we’re “old enough” to have a baby (24yo) but we both aren’t financial stable and she recently started dating this dude.
>”i really love him so i think I’m going to keep it, since I’m 100% sure i am pregnant”
>she’s in the process of getting a divorced from a marriage that was half a sham due to her health problems And him wanting slightly more money And someone to come home to.
>we were just talking about people having babies. Luckily I was positive about it because those people were married and both working stable jobs long term.
>she’s a good friend but she’s made so many mistakes with guys especially this early (see marriage)
>want to support her since she’s had a hard time but I’ve been on the fence about getting married for a few years because I like traveling for cons and cosplaying, especially with her... and I knew marriage would affect that at least a little.
>tfw probably have to rethink our cosplay plans for next year that were already being planned And such. Plus basically never seeing her again because she works as a waitress. Wanted to go to school and now will have a baby and who knows if the daddy would stick around.
> her ex husband is likely getting remarried in A few months/when the divorce is final and I have a hard time not thinking she wants the baby because of this/since he wanted a baby so badly and She refused to take out her IUD.
>was also feeling like I was getting to old for cosplay but now that my final close friend is being forced leave conventions. I’m sure I’ll feel old and have to stop

I get hit by Postcon blues that lasts for months. The two days a year that I can be with people who are into the same things as me, surrounded by my main hobbies. When I'm on the train home it strikes as I realise I'm returning to a boring life without a single friend with my nerd hobbies in common. I wish I had con friends in everyday life so that I don't get this feeling.

Jesus fucking christ that sounds like a relationship nightmare. How soon is recently? And why does she feel carrying a baby of a dude she just started dating is a good idea? Her last plan of generating a stable family didnt work out so well, in fact is works out so terribly she and her husband already got another person while the papers aren't even signed yet/ink isnt dry.

Either way I hope you can keep levelheaded and can support her without getting caught in the mess.

You would think this would be easier, my choice boils down to "do I want to wear this black dress or do I want to wear this other black dress"

>>9672689
Anon I was largely joking. I wear my clothes to class because I go to class most days, and I like D. Walkure mostly because it looks cool as shit. I'm not an actual nazi.

There's no such thing as your metabolism slowing down or being responsible for anyone getting fat, and fat people have faster metabolisms than skinny people because their bodies have more mass to support. At most it's a difference of about 300 calories. Stop lying to yourself and stop snarfing doughnuts.

Nayrt but that's kind of a big difference anon especially if you're dieting

>been in a cosplay group for a few years
>Find out they are doing a game I love
>Volunteer to be my fave character
>Character have already been claimed by a new member of the group who's never done a real cosplay before
>I have to pick another character and watch my fave be cosplayed poorly and by a dude I personally find annoying and ugly

>>9672983
I solve that issue by never doing group cosplays
I pick a fotm anime from 1-2 years ago and cosplay a side character and that's it

>>9672977
That's why people have to stop lying to themselves about how much they're eating.

>>9672973
300 calories is pretty big anon, I'm the christmas cake in question and my weight gain has gotten me up to 128lbs and my ideal calorie intake is like 1500. I eat maybe a meal and a half a day. Zero donuts.

>>9672759

They might mistake me for one of our clients, heh (we have ties to the prison so we often get clients from there).

I'm seven weeks postpartum and have lost nearly 45 pounds (I was overweight prior to conceiving). I can fit into brand that hasn't fit on my body since weight gain during my last big depression. However, I have giant lactating breasts and boobloaf out everything but all-around shirring and it's really fucking with my head. In the span of three months, I've given birth, had a huge move and left a job I loved and it's such shite that not even lolita can help fill the void. I've had a few friends go through pregnancy/infant loss and I feel like it's insensitive to complain when I'm lucky to have a little one.

I miss the fun and comfort of lolita.

>>9671697

Sorry to hear about your erectile dysfunction.

>>9673090
Postpartum is no joke, take it easy on yourself. Maybe do casual lolita like with a skirt?

>Friends who moved out of state were supposed to come into town today so we could all have fun at Comikaze
>I smashed out my first cosplay staying up late after super crazy work days so we could all have a good time hanging out
>They tell me friday they aren't going

I was kind of worried, so I had them buy my ticket and I'd pay them back, so I'm not out the money now. Went ahead and took some pics today since I couldn't go.

I'm at a normal weight for my size and fit all the burando I fall in love with, yet I desperately try to loose some more weight as my thighs are horribly large compared to the rest of my body. So
>eating healthy, no sweets, no pizza, a minimum of calories

And here I am gained 3kilos...I want to kill myself.

>>9673156
Probably just gained muscle if you're as healthy and active as you say you are.

I accidentally posted pic related to my comm's Fb group. Should I just die?

>>9673119
Other ocean, anon.

>>9673158
You're dead either way.

>>9673112
I've done some casual gothic with skirts and shirred cutsew ops, but it isn't the same. It'll come in time; I won't be nursing forever and hopefully my bust will go back to a size that's a bit more manageable. Thank you for the suggestion, anon.

>>9673158
How did that happen? Was it like some mobile nonsense?

>>9673157
I'm not sure, maybe it's because I've always struggled with my thighs since early childhood. I never had these cute sticklegs that I admire so much, even at my lowest weight. My thighs have always been fat and it iircs me so much. Idk how to get rid of them...

>>9673171
But anon, thick thighs are best. Sticklegs are boring.

Its been maybe a month. She claims shes super in love with him and hes shown more love in one month than any of her past boyfriends. She was always quick to move relationships like move in together and catch feelings so.. im just really worried. They about to move in together in a few days because her step parent basically is forcing her out. She movedin with parent and step parent to focus on school..... which she didnt turn papers in on time and now cant start until spring.. but now...

Like i tried mentioning that i cant personally get a dog because its a 13 year commitment and i know i work too much/travel too much to consider it and its vet bills.. but i know a baby is different and much harder... but i didnt want to piss her off too much and basically said no matter what its her life and she needs to make decisions...

but shes had two dogs already that have ended up with her grandma because she worked too much or just neglected it after it was done being a puppy.

[spoiler]no I'm not ready to shill yet so please don't ask about it

>>9673171
I have the same, anon. I think it has to do with me being short and not having asian genes, thus the muscles in my legs won't get 'stretched' out as much as what would happen with taller people. not sure if my theory is correct though.

at least lolita covers them a lot. just learn to deal with them and dress the way they won't look too stumpy

>>9673200
>>but shes had two dogs already that have ended up with her grandma because she worked too much or just neglected it after it was done being a puppy.

Poor kid

>>9672734
what kind of work is it if you don't mind me asking?

>>9673202
I'm white and tall and my thighs and ass are pretty much the only parts of my body that seem to store any fat...
I really hate my fat thighs too but yeah, at least lolita covers it.

>>9672795
hope you deleted them from your life

>>9673213
Same as you (I'm OP) I'm rather tall, white(mostly) and my ass and thighs are horrible. I could never come to enjoy them, despite the fact that the current trend turns towards 'curvy'. Yet, Lolita, or thigh covering dresses help me a lot to ignore them. Hence why I tend to avoid pants as much as I can.

>>9673219
Yeah I'm the exact same, wearing pants makes me incredibly uncomfortable because of it.
I'm grateful that lolita covers that area so well, but I've also always wished I had sticklegs that would look cute when wearing short skirts!

>>9673090
why did you leave the job? maybe getting back into it will make you feel better?

>>9673224
Or cute pants, like you know those pants that are wide on the bottom and the legs are just sticking out without touching the pants?? That has always been a goal of mine, but it's pretty much unreachable. I once was at a point where doctors had considered me underweight and yet my thighs would still be fat and touching eachother.

>>9673228
Yeah, I know that pain all too well ;_;
All I want to do is wear cute thigh highs, but I feel like they always just look gross and lewd on my legs, same goes for most shorts.
I hope that our stickleg dreams may come true through some miracle one day!

>>9673228
Yet another thick legged anon here. The dream for me was always micro shorts/skirts. Yeah no, not with my legs. I just have to deal I guess, but I've often wished for some sort of trick to make them skinny.

>>9673224
Just hope hugo boss pushes wide thigh pants for females.

>>9673228

>>9673236
>not being forced to masturbate to their thighs as they ridicule you
youre smalltime

>>9673213
another tall white girl with only fat storage in the ass and thighs here, anon. I hate it.

>>9673241
>>9673213
would you rather the fat accumulated proportionately across your body? i.e slightly fat arms tummy legs vs just super fat legs

>>9673244
I'm an hourglass so I'm rather proportional, but I wish I was a reverse pear? I mean I don't mind my boobs and slim waist, I just hate my thighs and ass.

>>9673246
Just count yourself lucky your fat doesnt accumulate around your tummy. You look pudgy even with a tiny bit of fat.

>>9673158
And people deny that lolita is a fetish.

Can comebody explain cosplay?

Namely, how do you justify spending $700 on a pair of pants that you'll definitely end up pooping in?

>>9673265
you know you can take off pants before pooping, right?

>>9673226
I moved across the country and have enough savings that I don't need to jump right into work. In the next bit, I'll be going back part-time for health insurance and to supplement my husband's income.

>>9673171
Alice has thick legs, thick legs are top-tier lolita

>>9673201
Good luck, anon!

>>9673201
good luck, anon!!

>>9673265
Thats a serious over exaggeration, but could also be justified by any person who has disposable income to fund a hobby they like.
Why does anyone spend money on anything they enjoy?

>>9670585
>This anon is right. I have AN. I was doing so well too and was at a low but non detrimental weight and didn't want to fucking die every day but it creeped back up on me and now everything is terrible.
Sister had AN really bad man, like, in a ward bad.
Turning point for her was watching the girl in the bed next to her die.

She's probably still orthorexic, but it's easy to convince her x is healthy because of y.

>>9672852
Take photos, I can never tell how an outfit looks until I do coord shots and then I fix things for going out

>>9673090
Be patient and go easy on yourself, I am 6 months postpartum, lost all the weight at 2 months but didn't start fitting into the vast majority of my wardrobe until a couple weeks ago. Which blows because I sold off a few of my unshirred/ partly shirred dresses around 4 months thinking my huge gross boobs were permanent (heard that from a co-worker who had weaned a few months ago). I don't know how but I think it's my strength training regimen that is finally getting the boobs under control. Went from being too big to fit a 32DDD to having a little extra room in a 32DD in the past few weeks, hopefully I'll be back to a C within a couple more months

>>9673303
>tfw keep thinking about how having a kid would be nice but then this kind of shit
Why is pregnancy just about the worst thing you can do to yourself?

Just keep trying different meds.
Crohn's is probably the hardest condition to ever diagnose, and differentiates between every person.

My wife has been symptom free for almost three years now, using Nexium, Pentasa and some crazy strong cortico-steroid - took about 5 years to dial in her meds and get her stable, with about 1 emergency room trip per month.

We're shitting bricks for when we have our first kid, though.
She's gonna have to come off all her meds before we start trying apparently.

I haven’t found a single picture that’s salvageable, even with Beautycam. Why am I so ugly? And why didn’t he at least remind me to stand up straight? fml

>>9673329
Maybe you've already thought of this and I'm being unhelpful, but have you tried color correcting? I also have dark eye circles and color correcting is the only thing that can help. No matter how much concealer I use, they're visible, but with some red or peachy color corrector underneath, they're gone.

>>9673354
Practice your poses / expressions in the mirror, and learn how to smile with your eyes. It's a real thing that you have to physically practice but it helps a lot when getting photos taken in cosplay or lolita.
Also the whole up-nose thing sounds like a problem he needs to work out as a photographer and learn how to capture your better angles.

>>9673348

>>9673394
Yes.

>>9673354

Echoing>>9673358. Also tell your bf to tell you when he thinks you're slouching. I have a pretty terrible slouch inherited from my father and it takes me effort to not slouch, so I will check my poses after a few shots, then tell bf to tell me if I'm slouching if I do happen to slouch in any of them.

What helps too is if we go through pictures together to see what kind of posing, scenery, and general choreography of photographs works best.

>t. gf with nonphotographer boyfriend with fancy camera

Man I just really love lolita.

>>9673164
After weaning, it'll definitely go down. For now don't stress the body so much and focus on yourself. Working out can help both but don't exhaust yourself, mental health is a priority right now anyways. I'm rooting for you!

I'd really like to have that "hazy, pale autumn nymph with freckles" aesthetic because it resonates with me a lot, but I'm brown-skinned, so I can't.
It feels like I need to adapt most aspects of cutesy/girly fashions like larme kei and mori and change around palettes to make them "suit" me, idk if I'm just being autistic or what.

>>9671602
Where the fuck are you living? I'd like to move there.
Whenever anyone here makes a joke about white people, all the white people present flip their shit and start saying actual racist things. The irony is that they love making jokes about other races, then whinge "free speech" if anyone complains.

>>9673553
nah, different palettes work better for different skin tones. I love the idea of light brown hair but I have light brown skin so it'd look nasty af. You could rock the freckles look though.

>tfw boyfriend watching random makeup videos next to you and distracting you from studying for midterms

The Honoka from our Love Live group got her period help.

>>9673560

Why the fuck can't we have a nice middle ground.

On one hand, white people have no problems saying racist shit to me. On the other hand, my brother who goes to a liberal school laughed at me when a native american threatened me and told me to go back to my own country (joke's on him, I was born here).

I hate this world so much.

What happened anon

I don't think I will ever have a true female friend.
I am extremely paranoid/nervous/skittish/shy.
I am not an agreeable person to normalfags. I am extremely racist (using the term as a shorthand). Everything I am interested in is like an anathema to females. Most men don't even care about the stuff I like (and I am too afraid to talk to men).

It's really depressing not having a gal-pal. I just feel like there is a part of me missing.

>>9674142
Anon, are you me?
I pretty much relate to every single part of this post ;_;

>>9674148
You're just saying that to get my defenses down.
There are no other shy, neurotic, racist girls who read western philosophy as their main hobby and fantasize about going innawoods.
I can't believe it.

>>9674154
I can't believe that there would be another girl like this either, I've given up hope.
Do you want to leave a throwaway email or something? I'd love to be weirdo gal-pals with you!

>>9674160
How do I know you're not some beta orbiter looking to gain my trust thinking that I'll be your gf? Then, when I refuse, you take revenge on me..

>>9674165
I mean I could ask you the same, maybe this is all just some grand incel scheme...

>>9674167
Post more about yourself then, just a little. Then I will see. I will maybe make a throwaway.

>>9674170
I'm a lolita and dressing up is one of my biggest passions, I could gone on about stupid dresses for hours if that would help convince you a little.
I also love typical feminine stuff in general but don't seem to share any interests, tastes or ideals with other women I know.
A lot of my hobbies would probably qualify as more masculine (vidya, /k/) but I feel quite uncomfortable around most men so I'm just an extreme loner basically.

>>9674177
Well, ok. I don't know if you'd like me, though.

I feel the same way anon except it is not so much other people as I keep having flashbacks to when I was younger of sorts and how I am suddenly in my 20s and days and weeks pass by in an almost instant while when I was younger days felt like they took forever to end

and I guess it is a bit normal as well but most of the time especially outside I question whether it is all real or if everything is just something I am imagining like

it was not until the last maybe 2-3 years I actually thought about and realized that there are so many people in the world and they all have their own thoughs and feelings (maybe) and days go by and then death and

I do not know what to feel I just wish to go on like I have been and not have to worry about dumb stuff like money or dying and I guess it might be getting harder and harder to amke friends the older you get because everybody already has their cliques already
