I don't know what to do anymore. My tics are at an all time high and medications only last usually for 3 months before losing their positive effect and become another pill to take to keep myself functional but not stable.

Pretty much every job I've had went to shit because of my TS. Worked at Disney, they openly let me go because of my disability. Worked at build a bear, then got an opportunity for Knotts Scary Farm. Worked at Knotts Scary Farm for not even the full season because I started taking new meds and had to quit before October even hit. Now im at McDonald's and a 4 hour shift is almost too much.

Im tired and angry and sad all the time because of this fuck ass disability. Im constantly in pain and having insomnia from tics raging at night when trying to go to sleep.

I'm only 21 years old and it feels like my body is killing itself with all the drugs, punching, screaming,

and pain. I don't feel like I'll ever be successful and have a real career. College isn't working. My life isn't progressing forwards.

Life is brutal and doesn't just give grace to people who struggle. Life doesn't have breaks or slow down. It just keeps going at a pace way too fast and I'm not getting anything out of life. All my past friendships have been cruel, and I wonder when my current friends will turn on me. All my relationships have been abusive, and I don't think ill actually find real love.

I don't feel like im living, im surviving. This fucking sucks.

If anyone has tips for dealing with tourettes while working that would be great. I don't want to quit my job i literally just got past training.

I have DBS hopefully coming up but I honestly am not counting on it to improve. What do I do?

Hi! Okay so I have been doing makeup for awhile now but I've never actually properly done beauty makeup! Pretty much all the makeup experience i have is with SFX or getting away with only using eyeshadow.

I bought foundation and a nude eyeshadow palette for shading/contour. I already have setting spray that holds well. I have a couple brushes (buying more). I have mascara too.

I'm trying to shape my face and contour to look like MCU Loki. I've never done this kind of makeup before. What is the order that the makeup goes on? I don't want to spend a bunch of money on makeup if I can make due with stuff like eyeshadow, especially since I don't cosplayas often anymore.

But yeah if I could get some help with makeup prep/application/final touches that would be great! Thanks!

Hi everyone! I'm going to a convention soon as Loki from MCU and was wondering if anyone has any pose ideas? I usually do the classic smirk with one hand raised to look sassy/magical but I want to try something different.

The specific outfit I'll be in is my version on Loki in the black suit + tie. Black slacks, black collared button down, forest green waistcoat, gold necklace that looks like the gold crescent shape on his Thor: Dark World outfit, dress shoes, and his black hair with the Thor: Ragnorok type headpiece.

So I guess he looks more dapper/gentleman? I still want to be able to show his personality and sassy flare but not overdo it.

Thanks!

Hi everyone! Im really new to wigs and finally found this old lace front i have used in the past. Not gonna lie, this was my first time actually brushing and fully styling a wig, I used to just wear them straight from the packaging.

With that being said this was my first lace front (still learning about lace front) and i was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to fix the front bits with the lace? Did I cut it too short or not short enough?

I was thinking of maybe using something to cut or melt the lace but I don't want to end up with a messed up wig!

I feel like it looks wonky so please let me know if anyone can help, thanks!
