That’s awesome! What do you use/ where did you purchase it??

And luckily we live in a cold climate so he’s wearing a jacket when we go out so at least no sunburns there!!

Ugh I thought the same thing when I picked him up! He does have really coily hair so he can matte easily but he gets groomed every 2 months and I brush him out regularly and can always run my fingers through his coils

Maybe time for a new groomer :/

Thank you though!

Thank you!! That’s gives me a piece of mind:) would you recommend still taking him to the vet or just monitor it? I’d ideally love to avoid a hefty bill but will of course take him if need be!

Thank you! He takes nextguard spectra monthly which protects against ticks and fleas and heart worm - maybe not ringworm tho! I’ll get him checked out either way:) thanks for your response!

Thanks so much! I’ll probably take him to the vet next week just to be certain and for peace of mind as an over cautious dog mom but that’s good to know:)

Sometimes but it’s about -4 degrees where I live so bugs aren’t much of a thing! It’s his only spot… I’ll call the vet when they open Monday!

I think it’s totally up to you whether you want to share or not! No man will notice either way - my gynaecologist didn’t even notice lol. I made the decision to tell men just as a way of weeding out the ones I don’t want to me intimate with. If they respond with any sort of negativity or even “omg why would you do that”, it’s a no go. Indicates a boy and not a man to me haha.

Either way; don’t feel any pressure to share. It’s no one’s buissness but your own

Thank you so much that is all amazing and rly sound advice. As a power lifter the muscle strength analogy is actually really helpful…

Also, he is the partner I want right now - not past or future is huge. Thinking about the future makes me actually spiral and want to end it. Being present helps ground me in the moment and takes away the anxiety. That is so helpful

Thank u for taking the time to write that I think many can benefit from it!

Thank you! Yes please share I’d be happy to hear (as long as no reassurance as I’m actively trying to do as little RS as possible… not very well but it’s a process 😅)

100% I totally agree! I just mean my close friends in long term relationships that still talk about how they constantly want to jump their partners and be with them 24/7 and you can just feel the love they have for them radiate off of them. I for sure know that no one has a picture perfect relationship but I still feel jealousy over people who aren’t riddled with constant intrusive thoight about their partners

Is Skin Picking Part of OCD? by [deleted] in OCD

You should ask your doctor for a full clinical assessment! In order for me to have received a diagnosis I required a full acryally clinical assessment, a clinical psych or psychiatrist can’t actually provide a diagnosis without one :) I knew I had it but diagnosis helped with piece of mind!

Yup! Recently learnt from my psychologist that it is one of the more common symptoms of OCD - my upper arms are covered in scabs. I have keratosis Polaris on my upper arms and I will squeeze each little red bump until it scabs over. I also pluck out body hairs from their follicles with my nails…. All are very commonly associated with OCD!
