All the advice in the other comments is great. Advocate for yourself and don’t give up. Find people who can support you.

As someone that has struggled with mysterious issues as well, I just wanted to say that you’re not exaggerating or over reacting and you’re not alone. You’re doing your best to find help but the system is not working the way it should. Your family is supposed to support you. Your doctors are supposed to work to find a good diagnosis and relieve your symptoms. If they aren’t doing that you will need to do even more work yourself, which sucks. Push them when you can, and if they still aren’t responsive find a different doctor. I know it’s hard, and exhausting, and expensive. But you have your whole life ahead of you, it’s 100% worth it to get this figured out now.

Had it like this for years and I love it, but this thread is giving me ideas. Maybe it’s time to change it up

Hello! The great thing about the small communities is that even if you’re gone for a bit it’s easy to catch up on everything that’s happened lol

Yes I started with a layer of white under everything, that’s the only way I’ve found to really get a neon to be neon. I think the yellow and the purple are both Orly, I’m away from home for the week but will check for the shade names when I get back. I really like both but they do require a couple coats.

Oh my gosh, more fediverse laqueristas!! Thanks for sharing! I guess for now I’ll just post to the kbin and lemmy group and see which one grows

It actually dries really quickly! As long as your polish is spreading on the water correctly (some thicker ones just gloop up) you are getting a VERY thin layer from watermarbling. It actually can change the colors a lot because it is so thin. For this one I used a white base coat, which helps make everything pop but also lightens the colors. You never quite know how it will turn out until you try it!

I didn’t make it, just very determined to help it succeed!

Also I don’t know if you saw the other comment, but there is Lemmy laqueristas now!

Hello! I’m happy to see a few laqueristas have made it to Lemmy :) cleanup brush is clutch, but my eczema preventing me from growing much cuticle at all helps too.

Ooh! I will! I’ve been looking for a lemmy laqueristas community. Glad someone else started one because I don’t have the time to moderate.

Haha, thanks! It’s way easier than it looks, and tons of fun. You just need nail polish, a cup of water, and a toothpick. My Simple Little Pleasures on youtube has a TON of tutorials.

I definitely get much more in my head and overthinking everything that I say when I take meds. Which makes socializing much less fun. On the other hand when I don’t take them I am more likely to blurt out the first thing I think which can also be bad.
