I think I have dermatillomania, and I recently started getting into nail care ... I think you can see where this is going ...

Hello, as a teenager I was a crazy nail biter. I'm 28 now, and in the last 6 months, I started wanted to ACTUALLY do my nails besides just slapping paint on them. And so, I have discovered a couple of sweet tools, including the cuticle clippers and pushers.

So. I knew I shouldn't have done this, but I went to town on my nails. I really, really, really enjoy using those cuticle clippers to get in as much as I can and clip out any hard, dead, or close to dead skin. I start and it's like I can't stop. I use the pointy in to dig deep, scraping things out, clipping what doesn't come easy, and often making my nails bleed.

One of those days I took the cuticle pusher and dug it in against my whole nail. I noticed an indention had formed in my nail, as you can see in the photos. I have the indents on 3 nails. It's been a few weeks and you can even see the indents through paint.

What do I need to do to rectify this? And also, any tutorials suggestions on how I should be doing this properly? I've watched videos but they don't really tell me how much of my nails and cuticles I should actually be taking off without hurting myself

Good morning, I have been "babysitting" my ex-neighbor's dog, I believe this pup has now become my dog which was unexpected, but I have grown to love her. Honestly, I think she likes me more than him. She really loves me a lot, and at this point I don't know if I can bare for her to go someone else because I feel like I am her #1 person now. She is a 5 year old rat terrier/mountain cur mix.

Anyway, that set aside, we have a routine going on where I wake up in the morning, get ready for work, and walk her quickly 10-15 minutes before I leave. My boyfriend stays the night with me sometimes and when he stays the night, he will walk her for me so I have extra time to get ready.

This morning, we follow that routine, she was whining at me a lot while I was saying goodbye to my boyfriend, I said goodbye to her and told her he will walk her after I leave.

I go to work, go about my day, about 1 hour later I check my phone and my boyfriend tells me Kallie escaped! And later texted again saying he caught her. I called to ask what happened, and he also said it was really weird. He walked her, gave her her treat, and he was getting ready to leave himself when she bolted out of the door (she has never done this). He said she ran through our parking lot and hid in a bush where he finally got her. He said she was acting scared of him and that she seemed like she was intent on searching for something. He thinks she was searching for m, she was apparently looking around the ⁵parking lot.

This is just so weird and out of the ordinary for her, I'm worried. Sometimes she acts weird about my boyfriend walking her, like hiding from him, but coming right out if I grab the leash. But the thing is, she also adores him? She gets extremely excited when he visits, freaking out and basically doing flips to get him to pet her belly. She seems to really like him. I've asked multiple times about how he walks her to make sure it's okay. She doesn't act scared of him, but she runs and hides if he grabs the leash to take her. If I have the leash, she's ready to go. Except for today, he said that she had no problem letting him walk her after I left.

Does anyone have some insight? I'm really worried about her acting like this. She's been acting slightly weird in other ways too, I don't know how to explain it, maybe a bit needier and more disobedient towards me. I decided I'm going to get her a vet appt scheduled but I don't even really know what to tell them, she's just acting different.

I apologize in advance, I have written this fast and in a hurry with not much spare energy to put into it, for that I'm sorry.

My cousin's best friend, a gay male, was flirting with my boyfriend, who he was also good friends with. I did not like that this person was flirting with my boyfriend, telling him he was having sex dreams about him etc, so I asked my bf to have a talk with him and tell him to stop. He had that talk, friend agreed to stop, friend about a week later sends a meme about "fucking when no one is around". In the beginning of all this my cousin was agreeing with me, saying she felt best friend had ramped up flirtatiousness, and was being disrespectful and shady - she suddenly changed, became cold to me, brushed me off, and basically told me to get over it for months.

I confronted the friend, we had an argument, the friend calls me jealous and crazy and insecure, and runs off spreading this around their group of friends, and tells me their mutual friend group all agrees I am jealous and crazy. I tell my cousin, and she is still leaning towards his side, saying she already forgave him and so this is between him and I. I noticed the friend and my cousin both said very similar things to me in their arguments and I realized they had talked about this before. They used 3 of almost the exact same statements and I realized they had been talking about me.

I blew up on my cousin. I removed both of them from everything. I asked her to show me the texts where she supposedly stood up for me to him - she couldn't show me (I believe she never stood up for me at all, and instead, she kept getting onto me, like I was the one flirting with someone else's partner). She DID admit that she asked the friend about the situation, and he ADMITTED he was trying to piss me off on purpose. STILL she was calling me crazy, showing me no empathy, trying to turn the situation around on me and somehow make it my fault. I caught her in a couple of lies during this too.

My own boyfriend was more trusting in this situation, more upfront, and more honest during this whole thing than both my cousin and her friend. I cried my eyes out last night about this. I am willing to make family get togethers awkward between us to cut her off, I feel so betrayed. AIO?

There are many songs I KNOW I had in my library that I've had to re-add, even multiple times. I've had the issue of songs turning gray and going unavailable. But that is not what I'm referring to here, as those songs at the very least still show in the library.

I'm talking about songs disappearing completely. Like, I used to listen to this song FROM my library months ago, I realize I haven't heard it in a while, I go to look it up and I have to re-add it to my library again.

Am I imagining this or is this really happening to me. I've been dealing with this for multiple years now. Anyone else??
