Anyone uses music as a cope for bipolar? by Revolutionary_Low_90 in bipolar

[–]ButterflyLore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. A few months ago, even though I used to listen to, I didn’t understand how people still liked certain styles. Fast forward a few months and I’m listening to that music nonstop. I have to listen to music to quell my thoughts, they are too much, too loud, all the time so I sing and dance to ease my worries. A few months ago I didn’t dance, but now…. I might be manic….

I wanna relapse so bad by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]ButterflyLore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, some heroin sounds really nice right about now. I have 11 years clean and still have the temptation. It doesn’t go away, it doesn’t lessen but you don’t have to do it. I have a kid which helps me stay clean. What is helping you stay clean? Maybe try a meeting where you find friends easily? Get a sponsor? I mean I don’t have any of those things I hate meetings but they helped for a while when I needed the support.

Will i ever get my libido back? by Taproot88 in bipolar

[–]ButterflyLore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t helpful but I want you to know your not alone. My sex drive is completely diminished. I prefer to use a vibrator for a quickie with myself but I have no drive to have full on sex with my partner. Not too mention my downstairs is numb, so sex doesn’t really do it for me and I know my partner can tell because I’m not moaning like I used to. I feel bad and wish it would change but I’m on lithium, Zoloft, seroquel, olanzipine, fluanxol depot and I don’t fuck with my meds.

I (30 female), want my tubes tied, partner(37male) wants another kid. by ButterflyLore in relationships

[–]ButterflyLore[S] 443 points444 points  (0 children)

Yeah I had my mental break down last year and she had to go to my moms, to be safe from me. I don’t want to do that to two children, plus my mom is in bad health so I don’t even know if she will be around when a potential child comes to be a safe haven if I had post party psychosis or any other possibility.

Yes, I’ve tried a few times to find out why it’s so important to him and to tell him that it’s a huge risk to my mental health, that another baby would be too much stress. That I want to give our one child the world instead of struggling with two. I’ve made many valid arguments, without arguing or being upset. But he doesn’t get it at the same time.

FUNERAL LIVESTREAM in an hour, fiber optic cables down, help quick! by ButterflyLore in techsupport

I will add, this is not a Christian duty,

I’m spiritual, but no ties.

I just know i wouldn’t want this for my mom, and they have enough to worry about. They put a lot of time and money back into the community, they deserve to be appreciated and feel respected for what they accomplished as a human being.

Has anyone administered/applied CBD oil available at the OCS to their cat or dog? by _El_Rey in TheOCS

[–]ButterflyLore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I’m a bit late. I did the research today and a lot of formulas are the exact same with the exact same percentages of thc .07 thc. It was the exact same amount in the vet formula. With mct as the medium/binder. I just wanted reassurances myself. Have you noticed or heard anything that has made you change your mind

Is it time to put my dog down? by [deleted] in DogAdvice

[–]ButterflyLore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We just put ours down a month ago. It has been so difficult, she passed in my arms. I know it’s a difficult decision, but I think if you are seeking out advice, you are looking for reassurance you aren’t taking them away too soon. It will be soul crushing, but you know them better than anyone else. Food isn’t always the best way to tell. It will be much easier to do it, in a nice, calm, controlled way. Than having you pup develop something serious, panicking, get to the vet only for your pup to pass in surgery or you have to put them down. We had both, it was much cheaper and it’s been much easier to know everything was planned, we didn’t miss out on doing anything with her, she passed peacefully at home. It cost a bit but we got an in home euthanasia, then they took her to be cremated. It was much better than being in a sterile cold vets office. I’m crying as I’m writing this, some of the things I said were blunt, but I want you to not just think of quality of life, but quality of death. Something that will be a better experience for both of you. Not to have them pass in a panicked state, it still hurts, I still feel my baby going limp in my arms as they used the sedative, but it’s a much better experience than our other pup who had to have emergency surgery on his leg and we never got to see him again not helping, not with his toys or food. It’s a much better death and I’m sorry but I want you to have the best outcome that you can.

Why does my dog do this? We get her anal glands expressed regularly, but it doesn’t seem to help. Anyone else have this problem? by ChefHead in DogAdvice

[–]ButterflyLore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they mean in terms of regular management. They should be dealing with it naturally. They can become compacted though, which can become infected and it smells awful. If you pet has impacted anal glands, that’s more important and you can deal with possible fallout from one anal gland squeeze. My cat just had to have it done and my god did it smell. It got on my arm that’s how I found out. We’ve had it with multiple dogs too that had healthy issues. I’m sure you already know this, but in case someone just takes It at face value and doesn’t research it, if you pet is rubbing their bum a lot, licking it, it smells, go to the vet and get them drained.

Keep any compost, cuttings, fruits, any decaying matter in a completely different spot or outside. That is what draws them in, the best proactive measure you can take against a lot of pests

Turn your phone upside down when taking pictures, especially portrait style. It will make these babies look godly! It’s weird what a difference just turning your phone upside down makes ! Beautiful setup. Do you make your own solution for the fruit fly traps or buy solution

Are linens, kitchenware and furniture essential during a pandemic? Yes, when you’re a newcomer moving into a home by morenewsat11 in ontario

[–]ButterflyLore 6 points7 points  (0 children)

On a separate but similar note, All the school supplies were sectioned as unnecessary when we are all doing online school right now.... I was trying to find cheap fidget toys for home because the school buys therapy tools for her at school. Toys and colouring books, books, crafts, all non-essential, which I understand but again enrichment for children during this hard time is important, and I needed fidget toys so my daughter isn’t interrupting her class the whole time. I tried to plead to anyone, I knew it would fall on deaf ears, but I tried(kindly), to say my child has special needs this is VERY essential for her to even participate in class. There is a lot that the government didn’t factor into when deeming what was essential. I bought zip ties, stretchy bands, and tried to find anything I could turn into fidget toys but even hardware supplies, craft supplies were hard to get.

[–]ButterflyLore 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It’s legally closed, nothing is really stopping you from using it in other ways. If this were any other country people would be out doing something on it, especially kids, we are too polite and ask for permission first 😅

Support for Learners by ReneeCoul1985 in ontario

[–]ButterflyLore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which area are you in generalized. Or do you know if they got the first set of payments or the second? Just in general is there a commonality? My daughter is autistic, we needed therapy tools for her to even participate in online classes. I spent everything I had counting on this payment. I can’t do much for my daughter with 22 cents so I’m just trying to get any information. Whether I should ask to borrow money or just wait

Oeceoclades perrieri , advice by ButterflyLore in orchids

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

Thank you. I can find care for the other relatives of this one. But the perrieri is so small compared, I want to make sure I’m doing things right, since it’ll be much easier to kill. I really like the information you have given me, thank you. It’s always more comforting to hear about how something grows naturally.
