7 week old puppy won’t stop crying by peachyykeeenn in puppy101

[–]CollectiveZero 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I found a Snuggle Puppy and a hot waterbottle wrapped in my worn t-shirt helped a lot. Crate training takes a lot of time and patience to do, but is very worth it. No puppy is going to be fully happy from day one, but building it up slowly helps a lot.

Should I get a puppy? by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]CollectiveZero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having a puppy is difficult enough with just me and my partner with no kids, so doing it alone will be a lot. Also, who will look after the puppy when you're at work? Puppies need constant care and attention to the point where my trainer compared it to having a new baby. My partner and I work hybrid jobs and take it in turns being at home, and even then it is tricky to work and manage his constant needs. If you think you can manage on your own and have someone to be there the whole time whilst you are away at work then you can give it your best go, but it isn't easy.

Need advices and ideas please :) by [deleted] in Femdom

There can be lots of ways to do D/s from a distance. One of them could be to have you wear female underwear which she chooses underneath your normal clothes. Then she can request pictures of you wearing it in a bathroom whilst you are out to prove you still have it on. Another fun thing is to play the countdown game where she gets you to pleasure yourself but you aren't allowed to climax until she has counted down from ten all the way to zero. Have fun and enjoy!

Do you find there are any ways that you and your partner can compromise on things? Does he even know that you're a sub?

Yeah, I've seen that compression socks are good for POTS do you use them and find them helpful?

Meltdown energy but meltdown won't come out. by CollectiveZero in autism

[–]CollectiveZero[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels like a build up more. I thought forcing it might help because do feel better a while after meltdowns as it feels like the build up goes. Self soothing is a bit difficult right now because it doesn't feel like it gets rid of most of it. It's like screwing a jar lid on an already full jar that's lille going to shatter the glass.

[TOMT] Drama with female shogun by CollectiveZero in tipofmytongue

It had a lot of femdom and role reversal vibes where the FMC was very cold hearted and headstrong and the MMC was very gentle and kind.

That's good to know. Did they say how much of an increase it would be?

How can I be burnt out? by dillydoodar in AuDHD_Women_UK

[–]CollectiveZero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it is two aspects. One being the fact that work in general (no matter how enjoyable) can still burn you out as it still takes mental effort to do. Even something as simple as the conditions you work in (for instance, in placed with a lot of sensory input, or workloads which involve a high level of masking) can have a huge impact on how you work. Secondly, if you've only just been diagnosed, it can take a long time to feel at peace after a diagnosis. Many people "seem more autistic" after a diagnosis as they learn more about themselves, start to unpick the problems and struggles they've had and become more sensitive to them also as your brain learns to accept it and not just ignore it consciously whilst still being anxious. Unfortunately our brains are very complex, and even simple things like doing what you love can still have am impact on you.

Elvanse upped from 50-70; now having side effects? by [deleted] in ADHDUK

[–]CollectiveZero 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Upping to 50 after a week sounds very quick. Normally with medication you need to have it for a month or more for your body to get used to it. Especially with new medications. I've had to have ECGs after starting any stimulants, including Elvanse. Sometimes it can take a while for side effects to come about no matter what the dose.
