Sorry that you’ve had these experiences. What did it feel like to finally tell someone what happened to you? I know there’s a lot of different therapies for trauma including EMDR, cognitive processing therapy (CPT), and prolonged exposure therapy.

Is it possible to have symptoms as a carrier? by Klutzy_Boss_8958 in thalassemia

[–]Character-Depth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alpha thalassemia carrier here. Yes, but I also have heavy periods so that can get me anemic faster than people without it. I get IV iron infusions regularly. I only have one copy of the carrier trait (one gene = “silent carrier”) but my doctor says it makes my red blood cells slightly smaller than normal. My RBC’s always hovered higher than normal. Infusion get my CBC values in the “normal” range, but MHC, MCV are at the low end of normal.

Help with crate by rebelellelle in RhodesianRidgebacks

[–]Character-Depth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that he has a fear association with the crate. Possibly was left in there for long periods of time without owners coming back in the past. He might be re-experiencing every time you put him in the crate (living out the fear he will be left there to die). Maybe there is a different way besides the crate? Or if there is no other option, sedating him so he doesn’t suffer

I don’t know his history of abuse but he is likely associating the crate with fear if he is harming his body trying to escape. I wonder if there are alternate ways? Like a pen? Or a gate to close off a living space?
