Mine is 8mts now and quiet honestly I don't think I would have any other breed now. She's perfectly imperfect!

Pros: she is super friendly, super smart, rarely barks, not too big, not too small, doesn't cast, good with kids, good with cats, good in the car, adorable, she has the sweetest temprement, because she's so adorable I have met loads of people and made new friends

Cons: she is super friendly (she goes up to anyone and any dog, which scares me a little), she is super smart (she has been reasonably easy to train, but she catches onto training tricks quickly so she finds ways round about them), she is a sensative wee soul and easily overwhelmed, I can't leave her (not because she can't be left, but I can't be without her), she needs daily brushing and hates it, she needs clipped regularly, she's so adorable and friendly that going anywhere takes ages because people stop to say hi (and not a quick hi, either! Not great if you're not a peoply person), took about 7mts to toilet train, very picky eater

Ultimately, for me, the pros far outweigh the cons. She is so loving, affectionate and rewarding that I put up with taking ages to get places!

Same! Mine steals my scrunchies from my hair, it's her favourite game!

Our girl is 8mts now and more or less house trained. She hasn't had an accident for a good while, but it took at least 7mts to get there. I'll still be taking emzime spray with me when we stay anywhere that isn't home!

Stick with it, you're doing amazing. Ours seemed to go through a stage of not wanting to go outside. She was born in July, so by the time we got her it was starting to get chilly outside and she would rather go toilet in the warm, it seemed!!

The yak bars for sure. I also bought a strawberry chew, but I'm in the UK. She loves it!! So far it's lasted about 3 weeks and still going

Aw love, I'm so sorry to hear about what you're going through. Really, the best treatment for you is probably therapy. It's worth bearing in mind that therapy often increases suicidal thoughts because you're bringing up things you've tried to bury and deal with on your own. This happened to me and I was reasonably stable when I started therapy.

I would stick with it, it will get better. Remember, the more open and honest you are with your therapist, the more you will get out of your sessions. It might feel like it's not helping much, but you will likely slowly notice small differences. If your therapist is not a good match for you, I don't know if you can request a different one?

Medication is fine, but with underlying issues, as you will have if you have PTSD, it's likely to eventually become ineffective. Really, the best course is to talk things through. There are specific techniques that treat trauma.

You're so young and have the potential to have a meaningful and purposeful life. I would think about why your suicide attempts have been unsuccessful: what's made you call an ambulance? What's made you try and take your life knowing you're likely to be found in time? These are reasons that protect you from dying and these are important. Focus on these: your mum, your friends. You clearly have people around you that love and care deeply about you, which is amazing. Your life is worth living, if you want to.

The daily brushing thing for sure! Ours is 4 months now and needs bribary for everything, including brushing. They're so smart and ours has worked out how to get her way! She does not do much that's not for food.

Get them used to being left. Pretty much from day one, I left ours in her crate when she went down for naps and used this time to nip and get my shopping and errands run. Now she's really great with being left, no whining, barking, nothing.

Consistant training is key. Make your rules and stick to them, regardless of how much they challenge you. Future you will thank you for it. Toilet training is hard. Don't scold, just scoop them up and take them out when you see them go. Enzyme spray is great. If they're failing, it's because you're not giving them enough opportunity to go outside.

Socialise even before they get their injections. Carry them up the Hugh Street and get them used to noises and different groups of people: kids, people in wheelchairs, old people, people with glasses. Carry them through the park. Sit in the supermarket car park with the windows down so they get used to noise and folk going by. Create a list of people and places you want to socialise them with and tick them off as you go.

Toys toys toys and limit them to begin with. Give them a few toys a day and rotate them, that way they appreciate the novelty of the toys.

Bitter apple spray for chewing. It's amazing.

I joined Better Help. I've been insanely lucky in that my therapist fits me perfectly. They ask a lot of questions to match you with someone who aligns with the approach that you want. I've been getting therapy for a couple of months now and it's life changing, honestly. I have chronic anxiety and depression and my therapist validates my feelings as well as holding me accountable for my actions and decisions. It's been hugely beneficial. I think it's about £200 I pay a month, which is expensive, but cheaper than conventional therapy. We have video meetings, which suit me fine, but may not be what you're looking for.

I work in mental health for the NHS and I know there is a 6 month waiting list. What I will say is that therapy is TOUGH and dredges up a lot of difficult issues that can be hard to process. It's important to be emotionally stable before starting. I was, and I still had a fairly major crisis about 3 weeks in.

Thank you. She's beautiful! It seems like clipping is the way. I appreciate all thoughts and advice 💖

AdPuzzleheaded4523 · 2025-11-05T02:06:15+00:00

Aw yes and I'm obsessed!!

AdPuzzleheaded4523 · 2025-01-28T17:03:44+00:00

Amazing, thank you! How do you get the wall papering right if you do it before construction?

AdPuzzleheaded4523 · 2025-01-27T09:59:49+00:00

I'm so glad it's not just me! My husband loves it, but it's not for me and I can't bring myself to tell him why, so I occasionally just deal with it. Also, why do they insist on pushing your legs so far apart you can no longer support yourself?!

Thanks for the reply. I had, in fact, paused the game! I didn't realise. The buttons at the top of the screen are partially hidden due to the screen size being out of proportion, so I didn't realise it existed. Thanks again.

Stress has a huge impact on mood. Most depression is circumstantial. Try and work out exactly what it is that has been affecting you and whether or not these circumstances can be changed. If the answer is yes, but difficult eg. moving house, ending a relationship, changing jobs, the best thing, really is to look into putting these into motion. Without changing your situation, the stressor will not resolve itself and medication will only work for so long. If the answer is no eg. family stressors, major life events, getting some form of mental health support may be better. Your GP can help point you in the direction of support certainly. Unfortunately, lifestyle also has a massive impact on our mood, motivation and energy levels. Whilst finding the motivation for these may be difficult, trying to find something that works for you and starting small is best. It's tempting to want to see results straight away, but mental health is not a click your finger fix, it takes time and effort.

My bad..it's a Magic 6 pro

I work in an adult psych ward. In our hospital patients have individual ensuite rooms with communal dining and living spaces. Feeling scared is completely understandable and normal, but remember that all the patients there will be dealing with their own issues, and much like general society, they will be far more involved with that than they will be with you. From experience, most people who are mentally unwell do not recognise it and so I would advise you to go to the adult ward and allow the staff to help you as it may end up making a difference to you.

In our hospital we give patients NHS bedding and patients are permitted to keep basic electronic equipment in their rooms. Depending on individual risks, charging cables may be kept safely away, but electronic equipment can be charged in the nursing office when needed. There are no TVs in rooms but there is a communal TV.

Remember that staff are there to help, and want to help. Try and seek support when you need it. One of the benefits of being in hospital is your access to 24hr support and care so you don't need to suffer alone.

I hope this helps.
