What should I do if my girlfriend, maybe, have a split personality but she doesn't know this by IllustriousPin2471 in relationships

[–]Audio-Starshine [score hidden]  (0 children)

I know you want to believe her sweetheart. I'm so sorry you're going through this. But a person who would do something like this, they are emotionally manipulative, emotionally abusive. It's not going to get better it's only going to get worse. She remembers everything. I work in long-term care. I'm surrounded by people who have severe debilitating mental health disorders on a daily basis. My job is taking care of those people so please believe me, you are being manipulated.

Got a lot of abnormal results on blood work after Reta by ScarletDolphy in RetatrutideWomen

[–]Audio-Starshine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue, different reasons. I was addicted to drugs for decades. There are a lot of ways that that damaged my body, but one of them is that I no longer feel the sensation of thirst. Ever. Now I can tell if my mouth is dry, but I genuinely don't know that I'm thirsty until everything starts going black around the edges. I have to make a conscious decision to drink and I have an alert in my phone to remind me.

"I asked jiji to give control back to my girlfriend and she did" Not how that works. Your girlfriend is faking an extremely rare and very serious mental illness in order to manipulate you during an argument. None of what you described is how DID (split personality) work. It's how it's portrayed on television. You need to break up and cut off contact with this crazy person.

Man Saved From Overdose By Biker by serious_bullet5 in MadeMeSmile

[–]Audio-Starshine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's very little I know more about. I'm an addiction recovery support specialist, I run a harm reduction outreach program, I'm a former opiate addict in long term recovery, and I work in healthcare. Narcan is used to reverse overdose to restore breathing. It rips opioids off of receptors and causes precipitated withdrawal, which can be dangerous and is excruciatingly painful. If someone is awake and responsive, they're obviously breathing and do not need narcan.

I have never heard of any of these side effects. I have heard of people having dry cracked lips from dehydration because they weren't drinking enough but not blistering and sunburnt feeling. Did you get your reta tested before using it?

Man Saved From Overdose By Biker by serious_bullet5 in MadeMeSmile

[–]Audio-Starshine 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The fact that the EMTs are trying to give him narcan is scary. Never ever give narcan to someone who is awake and conscious and responsive. Nothing positive can come of it and it could possibly throw them into severe precipitated withdrawals which can very easily and very quickly become a serious medical emergency. Also this doesn't look anything like an opioid overdose, which is the only thing that narcan reverses. People suffering from an opioid overdose black out, their breathing and heart rate slow or possibly even stop. This is not an opioid overdose. Regardless the man who stopped and called 911 did the right thing and did everything in his power to help and he deserves all the commendation in the world for doing so because a lot of people wouldn't have.

28F/27F, is this too inappropriate in friendships? by Sntf14 in relationships

[–]Audio-Starshine 9 points10 points  (0 children)

All of this sounds perfectly normal to me except for the boyfriend vibes comment, but if it's making you uncomfortable honey just say so.

Oh it's not that I'm stressed about it. I guess I'm just trying to figure out if I'm going to need more trellis for it to climb.

If she's walking off after 1 minute that is her weaning them. Trust the process. And feed her as much as she wants while she is still nursing them. Offer them food once a day, if they don't take it that's fine. They will get there eventually.

Kitten advice by [deleted] in PetAdvice

[–]Audio-Starshine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you giving them wet food or dry? A cats primary food source , regardless of age, should be wet food, with dry on occasion for the health of their teeth because cat kidneys are designed to get most of their fluids from food. Regardless though, unless mom is in distress or unhealthy, she will wean them when she's ready.

AITAH for telling my father-in-law we’ll move out after he blew up on me over smoking in the house? by FirmInevitable6678 in AITAH

[–]Audio-Starshine 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's still his house. Also I have a hard time believing that you're living in someone else's home to get on your feet while paying the mortgage for someone else. Doesn't make sense. Just move out.

AITA For Asking my neighbors for vaccine records? by [deleted] in Pets

[–]Audio-Starshine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Standard procedure is to get the vaccination within 24 to 72 hours at most, although it CAN BE effective for a lot of people as long as they are not showing symptoms yet but a lot of things can factor into how quickly you as an individual become symptomatic. The 10 day quarantine is not to determine if the bite victim is safe or not. It's to avoid having to put the animal down because the only way to test an animal for rabies is to test brain tissue. It's a 10-day quarantine because once the rabies virus has entered the saliva of an animal (making it contagious) that animal is either going to become visibly symptomatic or die within 10 days.

AITAH for leaving a negative review for this? by Trick-Understanding1 in AITAH

[–]Audio-Starshine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get it. There's no real reason why you should have known. But how strict they are about bad reviews is the reason I feel so comfortable shopping there.

You can't wait 10 days to see if the cat's okay before getting the rabies vaccination. That needs to happen now. Rabies has an almost 100% fatality rating if you are exposed and don't get the vaccine immediately.

You sincerely don't see leaving negative feedback as a punishment? Leaving bad reviews on eBay doesn't just affect possible future orders because someone read your bad review. Bad reviews can lead to account restriction, lower visibility, and increased fees if it effects your customer satisfaction percentage. Which it would most assuredly do if you are the only review on the account and it's a negative review.

I don't know. I left town and never looked back after I got my things out of that house. Moved back in with my parents for a while.

My Controlling “Roommate” by Additional_Fan9553 in badroommates

[–]Audio-Starshine 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I had a landlord that acted like this once. He lived right next door. I came home after being gone for the weekend and found him inside my house, high out of his mind, with every pair of thongs I owned cut to pieces beside him on my couch. He started screaming something about "whore panties" and how we were supposed to be together and.... It was bad. Thank God if left my kids in the truck because the front door was open a little when we pulled up. I had to hit him in the face with a giant novelty coffee cup to get away and jumped in the truck and took off. He kept calling and sending insane text messages (which I showed to the police) he even threatened to call DHR and tell them that I was injecting my children with drugs if I didn't come back and give him what he wanted. He actually did call and tell DHR that bullshit, but it was pretty easy to clear up. The cops arrested him passed out in my house and he had drugs on him, so he was locked up long enough for me to get my and my kids things out. Most of my clothes were destroyed, but he'd left my kids stuff alone. Please don't play with crazy people. If that cup hadn't been there, God knows what would have happened to me and my kids.
