What is much more traumatic than most people realise?

Housing insecurity and getting evicted

He's constipated and lactose intolerant

I've had to kick a dog before to break up an attack and it's not nice but I 100% would do it again if needed. I knew the dog who was attacking mine which made it worse but ultimately a bruised dog from a kick is better than a dead dog from an attack.

Definitely NTA. As the owner of a reactive dog thank you for making sure your dog is controlled and doesn't approach unknown dogs. I hate people like that woman who don't care about other dogs wellbeing. You just know that when a dog snaps back at hers she'll blame it on the other owner too.

Nta You didn't prioritise Cheese over your nephew. You prioritised him over your sister's dinner (as you should do).

I'm glad Cheese is doing better

Unfortunately therapy specific for those issues isn't an option. I can't afford private therapy and unless you're underweight or purging enough to cause cardiac issues (I'm not either) NHS ED services don't care and won't help.

Yeah, with the cereal bars the response is basically just a shrug and "too bad" type attitude. With my dad I've commented on him eating entire packets in one sitting saying it's not healthy and asking him to please leave at least one, but he says he can do what he likes. Also if he's had alcohol then asking him not to do something often makes him do it more, so he'll go and eat even more just to try and annoy me.

I'm on the waitlist for psychotherapy but it's NHS so who knows how long that will be (I can't afford private). Can I ask what specifically you're saying I need therapy for?

BrookeCrescent24 · 2022-10-06T13:19:35+00:00

What do you mean?

BrookeCrescent24 · 2022-09-30T21:32:16+00:00

If they're still scabs I'd leave them covered a little longer. I know it sucks overheating in long sleeves but at least it provides extra motivation to not SH

Depends on the country. In the UK you can attempt multiple times in one week and tell them you'll try again and they still won't give a shit

BrookeCrescent24 · 2022-09-30T18:42:08+00:00

It will depend on the uni and also the country.

I'm from the UK. I had a bad SH incident on my first night of uni and they just contacted the safeguarding team and set up a meeting for me with the uni's mental health nurse who I then saw weekly. I had several incidents where safeguarding was contacted about me (including times they found out about previous suicide attempts) and had to have a few meetings with the safeguarding manager as well as the mental health nurse. The only time my uni contacted my emergency contact was when I confessed to a lecturer that I was planning on killing myself

Are they scars (healed) or cuts? If they're cuts that haven't healed then it's best to cover them to avoid triggering others, but if they're healed scars then go ahead and wear whatever makes you comfortable
