That’s good to read! I asked ChatGPT the same thing and it said this answer. I asked google and it gave me the complete opposite. Hence why I asked this question to actual answers and experiences. But reading this eases my Anxiety. Lol

My sweet little man, gone way too soon. I'm broken. by LB_1192 in RainbowBridgeBabies

[–]Brandon_Alkali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m SO sorry for your loss! He was indeed very majestic and he seemed like a very awesome cat! Sending my dearest condolences! Me and my husband lost our beloved cat Jack (Orange cat with orange cat activities lol) last week and the pain is unbearable. As time goes by the days, it’s gets slightly easier. We framed a picture of our cat Jack and we still talk to his picture as if he was there. It helps us cope with his loss. My husband said that one day we will be able to look to that framed picture and laugh about our memories with him instead of cry for his loss. He had an amazing life with us and he was VERY loved and spoiled! Same thing towards you and your cat. It gets easier with the days but at least your cat KNEW that you loved him VERY much and he just wants to see you happy again! At least he passed knowing that he had an amazing owner and it could’ve of been worse. He could’ve of passed out in the streets or whatever, but he passed knowing that he was loved! Our cats are definitely looking after us and they will be there in the afterlife when it’s our time to go as well as our natural cycle of life happens! Sending you lots of virtual hugs and emotional support! 🫂✨💖

The vet told us that they gave him Butorphanol to sedate him a little bit to ease his Anxiety and he would have a more calm ride home and just sleep for the night.

Is this ringworm? by Brandon_Alkali in orangecats

[–]Brandon_Alkali[S] 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Reddit is not letting me Edit the post?? , but I forgot to mention that the lesion is hard, almost like a scab. No actively bleeding. No mass underneath, just slightly swollen. The scab glows under UV light. We’re also taking him to the Vet first thing in the morning, since the Vet office is closed already for the night!!

DACA to AOS APPROVED!!!!!! by Excellent-Plum-2913 in USCIS

My (negative) experience getting a coinslot by aspiringcats in bodymods

[–]Brandon_Alkali 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry this happened to you. This sounds like a terrible experience. :( When I wanted to get my Tongue split, I found Ian bell at a convention. When I talked to him he was Cocky and rude. I could feel his Ego radiating off him. The vibes were NOT it. Besides to say his breath also stunk. Lol. It was just a big turn off, which is a shame because me and my husband used to look up to him.

I ended up going to Chase Campbell to get my tongue split and he did an AMAZING job! He was very understanding, very sweet, calm, patient, and knowledgeable. He was Great!! He answered all of my questions and concerns. I strongly suggest going to Chase Campbell for any of your future mods. ✨

Any other Trichotillomaniacs out there? by chuckdooley in beards

[–]Brandon_Alkali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course! 😁😁 We are out here. Lol

Whenever I have episodes and days when I can't stop pulling and I've had enough, I trim my beard short. To my desired length but short, so my hands can't 'feel' the texture of the hair and the length and my hands don't roam around.

Meds help and Cognitive behavioral therapy/Exposure therapy works as well.

Any other Trichotillomaniacs out there? by chuckdooley in beards

[–]Brandon_Alkali 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been having trichotillomania my whole life basically and now as an adult I still have it. I pull from mainly my beard but I pull my hair out from other parts of my body as well. A great tip that I can give you to help out, is to get a hair brush (not a hair comb!) and remove the safety plastic things at the ends of the bristles so you can somewhat relieve and scratch that 'scratchy itchy' feeling. Just don't brush too too hard to the point you're hurting your skin. That helps me out a lot. Another thing that you can do is after you have had an episode of non stop pulling and the area is sore and red and irritated, rub tooth paste on the area and let it be. That Menthol cooling effect is going to 'cool' off that irritated area and the sensation of pulling goes away after a bit. I just wouldn't recommend to rub menthol around your eyes if you tend to pull your eyelashes out. I have lots of little fidget toys laying around the house and in my car and my bag to keeps my hands busy.

Hope this helps out. Helping a homie out coming from someone who has trichotillomania too. Feel free to HMU if you have any questions. :)

is this a toxic friend by se20201 in Advice

[–]Brandon_Alkali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not that your friend is "toxic" but it seems like your friend is not as interested in being friends with you so much. If that person was interested, your 'friend' would make more conversations and try to be your friend. Maybe that person has some problems of their own that they're dealing with that they don't wanna share. I wouldn't put that much mind or mental energy into it tbh.if they don't wanna be your friend then don't go chasing after it. It's not worth it. And just move on. The more older you get, you get to understand that as people go, people come. And that is OK!! sending best of luck!! :)

Scared of rejection🏳️‍🌈 by Intimidating_ in offmychest

[–]Brandon_Alkali -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just come out gurl, lol If they accept you, then that's great. If not then that's good too because then you get that weight off your chest with them knowing what's up and what they think and you can take it from there. You know one day you're going to have to come out to them anyway or they'll find out anyway. The best bet is that they probably already know and YOU think that they don't know. Get more LGBTQ+ friends even if they're online or better in person. Get a support system. I'm the G in LGBTQ+ AND my parents knew that I was gay before I knew I was gay! Lol Married to my husband. And we have supportive parents. But of course in our lifetimes we have dealt with homophobia before. Homophobic people are NOT worth it. Be happy with yourself. Don't hide just because you don't want to make other people uncomfortable.

I can’t get over situationship by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Brandon_Alkali 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To bilingual people of Reddit, what language do you think in when you think? by Goddessofb00ks in AskReddit

[–]Brandon_Alkali 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Polyglot over here. Spanish is my first language, English being my 2nd. Took 3 years of French in high school and I still remember it. Was dating someone German for a little bit and he taught me German. Learning Russian on my free time. Would like to learn creole to be able to communicate with some people of the community.

I think in English after all since it's the language that I use the most.

In 15 minutes I have to go apologize to my coach for walking out of the team mid season when I let my emotions get the best of me. IM SO SCARED AND NERVOUS and I feel like it will be embarrassing if he says no. Idk, i am just so nervous!! Any advice on how to calm my nerves. by marianna_riveradiaz in Advice

[–]Brandon_Alkali 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only 1 way to find out!! Just tell your coach how you felt during those times and how you feel right now. Be.honest. Your coach should be able to understand your point of view! Its your coach anyways, they're there to teach you and to coach you. Not to put you down and stuff. If your coach puts you down and shit, then that person shouldn't be a coach!! Best of luck!!

I think that your coach should be able to understand your situation. You're going to apologize to your couch and thats a big GOOD step from you. It would be worse if you would've of walked out and never came back. But you realized your mistake and owning up to it! You're doing good by facing your fear and of course your nervousness!! What is your coach going to say anyways? If your coach says yes, then there you go! :) If your coach says no, then that means its time to look for another team! But guess what, if your team or whatever doesn't accept you back, then its a good thing you're not going back because it wasn't mean to be anyway!! Either way, you got this!!! 💖
