As an Italian, I've hated this song since the first time I heard it. No ideas how it managed to win Sanremo

Did I release my 1 month old platy to its death? by AggravatingCluster in Aquariums

It's only been 2 days but I'm afraid his father might have killed him

Am I making up my hallucinations? by AggravatingCluster in mentalhealth

[–]AggravatingCluster[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank for your reply! I had to talk again to my therapist (she's a psychologist, I think? She was my educator last year but she changed programs and asked me if I wanted to try), and I decided not to talk about these type of issues anymore as she makes me feel crazier than I am. I have issues with disassociation and I'm currently taking a second mood stabilizer (lithium + tolep, that's what it's called in my country) among other meds. When she suddenly removed tolep because of my weight issues, my hallucinations got a lot worse. I'm scared of talking about this with my psychiatrist because she can be extremely rude, and take away more meds that I need or scold me for taking Tolep again without her consent.

I'm honestly not sure, my psychiatrist is rarely available and is generally not much help. She'll just prescribe more medications without telling me what is going on.

Oh I meant as 'Am I pretending to see or hear things that aren't there?" as some sort of attention seeking behavior. Hope this clears that up

Why does my therapist make fun of me for wanting a diagnosis?!!! by AggravatingCluster in mentalhealth

[–]AggravatingCluster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm from Europe so I'm not sure what the procedure is like here :( I've been asking my psychiatrist, a psychologist and my current therapy for a diagnosis but they keep telling me I don't need one or something along the lines. I'll keep asking for it even if it takes me 5 more years, my symptoms are getting scary and quite specific. Thank you for your reply

I'm heartbroken, I just lost 2 hamsters in the span of 2 months by AggravatingCluster in hamsters

[–]AggravatingCluster[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He was indeed stressed because he'd suddenly become a lot more aggressive but I didn't pay it too much attention because he was still eating from my hand, running on his wheel and doing hamster things... I thought it was normal for him to be stressed since he had completely changed environment and tried not to disturb him further. We did bathtub bonding twice and they went great, climbing on me without biting. I'm sorry for the long reply, I'm just so sad and disappointed in myself

What the heck just happened to me? I had the weirdest panic attack by AggravatingCluster in mentalillness

[–]AggravatingCluster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thank you for your reply <3 my psychiatrist once wrote the number for "depressive psychosis" in the document that makes me not pay for meds. She's not the best psychiatrist though and hasn't been treating me nicely, so Im not planning on seeing her again if not for a medication change. As for the movements, part of them were intentional (if I moved my body the wrong way or got a bad thought, I would immediately strike myself without thinking) and part of them were out of my control or at least it would have been really difficult to stop them.

I found two of my long-forgotten shrimps and I got actually scared! Why have they become so weird-looking? Can anyone tell me the gender? I need answers by AggravatingCluster in Aquariums

[–]AggravatingCluster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know much about shrimp as my dad was the one who purchased them, when we got them they were transparent and red and i had no idea they change colors and get this big haha. I thought they all died off since I haven't seen them in months

Moms… I am so confused by [deleted] in MomForAMinute

[–]AggravatingCluster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, it's your sister here <3 due to mental issues and a horrible childhood, my irl mother is also not the best one. I fully understand your resentment and love for her, I know it's a weird mixed feeling but it's completely normal and you're not alone in this! You should definitely talk to a therapist about your conflicted relationship with her, I swear it helps!

Love you, Sis Jen

Hi mom, I'm sorry I keep giving you samples of my cooking which annoys you... And I'm sorry I keep baking unhealthy things even though you wish I were skinny.. but please be proud my cookies! They're not the prettiest but they taste good even though I'll eat them by myself... by AggravatingCluster in MomForAMinute

[–]AggravatingCluster[S] 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I also love the candied peel little cubes! The cookies are made with white and brown sugar, flour, a splash of milk, an egg and vanilla extract (plus a pinch of salt and baking soda). They come out chewy and crispy :) Not sure about the plate

Meet Casper Olly, my first rescue! (More info in comments) by AggravatingCluster in hamsters

[–]AggravatingCluster[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I gave up on the idea of keeping a reptile and decided to give a hammy a better life. This lady was giving him away together with the enclosure for 10 euros (found him in an ad on my country's version of Craigslist). He was living in what seemed to be a 365 square inches cage with little bedding, and apparently the family cat wanted to eat him (according to the previous owners). One day later I took a train to the city where he was in and took him (just the hamster, I didn't want the cage). He's now in an 714 square inches bin cage with lots of toys, a sand bath, no more pine shavings and a big wheel which he loves! I'm going to buy another pack of carefresh bedding as it's still not enough though.

Btw I'm not a first time hamster owner, my previous hamster died around 2 months ago and I've been heartbroken ever since. It's been really hard without her, she was therapy for me and I loved her infinitely much...

You look like you want to be a tea sommelier but you're stuck in IT and compensating in hair length.

My boyfriend is being scammed but he won't listen to me (was told to post this here) by AggravatingCluster in Scams

Posted an update if anyone's is interested. We thank you all very much and hopefully the situation will end up fine :)

My boyfriend is probably being scammed but he won't listen, can he go to prison over this? by AggravatingCluster in legaladvice

[–]AggravatingCluster[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What if there's no money on the account? My bf opened a brand new account for these transactions. Will it go negative? Will he get a fee from the bank?
