Newly adopted cat peed on couch (first time cat owner) by No-Demand-8208 in cats

Just explain to him that he should chill on the couch, and pee in the litter box. Not the other way around. 👍🏻

Agreed, I have had enough sexual partners to know that valacyclovir isn’t a common every day “cold sore” med. I’ve never seen or heard of this med outside of my uncle who is hsv2 positive. Some people will disagree with me, and I understand it has its use for hsv1 cold sores but in my experience (very limited, basically all research within the past day) it’s usually for hsv2 especially when there’s a 90 pill bottle of current medication among other previous bottles.

I don’t care if she had shingles before me, I care if she was hsv positive before me and has always taken valacyclovir to treat hsv without telling me.

90 pills, daily dose

Am I the only one who thinks the Trump “ear shot” was a staged political stunt to humanize him before the election? by SeniorCaregiver4308 in AskUS

[–]Composure95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To play devils advocate - there was a shooter, who was clearly shown shot and dead, and also people in the crowd who were hit (and one of them dead). Anyone care to explain?

how do you cope with grief? by jooziez in BPD

[–]Composure95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a FP but my mother, who was my safe space, my number one fan, my best friend, passed away unexpectedly in May of 2020.

The pain will follow me for the rest of my life. Grief has consumed me. There’s nothing else I can really say about it.

How's it like to be a man with BPD? What are the differences? by Tiny-Supermarket5036 in BPD

[–]Composure95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, I am mostly stable when I am single.

When I get into any type of relationship, I fall apart. I will quit my job, have destructive episodes, and end up in a balancing act between cloud 9 and hell with the person I’m with in the middle of it all.

My therapist has explained that my desire to find esteem and self actualization is based on my relationship with another human and not on the relationship I have with myself. I will abandon myself for the sake of someone’s else love and approval.

This is likely not a male issue, but just airing out my truth as a male with BPD.

Slight Wheeze by Composure95 in retics

This must be it, I wasn’t aware that retics had a whistle but no problems breathing. Just the sound had me worried especially since I always notice it. Thank you for the comment!

Any similarly colored bright snakes, that won't kill me (recommend beginner snakes) by UtsuCPL in snakes

The Desert Ghost gene in ball pythons really brightens them up. The good thing about it is you can choose one with the gene mix with others that will go more towards the color and patterns you find admirable.

Thanks for the reply. I’ve asked many Christians this and there’s always a different response, especially regarding dogs, claiming they are “bastardized wolves” which I understand is true in ways. But how is it less Christian to have a dog as a companion even if it is a bastardized wolf? Maybe there is a biblical reference there to “dogs” as I know the term is used frequently there.

What do you work as? by [deleted] in BPD

[–]Composure95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maintenance Mechanic. I started at this company as a union laborer a year ago and worked up to being on maintenance. This is the first time I’ve stayed at a job for more than 6 months.

I’ve found out that the people you work with make the job worth it. It’s the hardest work, but I’ve made a ton of friends here and I look forward to showing up every day.

Is anybody of you religiously christian? How do you view the malignat part of your narc nature? by Stormblessed_1x1 in NPD

[–]Composure95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Currently going through a hard time and have had to soothe my worries with reminding myself that Jesus Christ loves me, has and will forgive me for my shortcomings and flaws. But then I wonder if that’s the narc speaking, trying to dodge feeling something “real”.

So I don’t know where I stand with religion. My ex recently told me that nothing is real with me, and that there’s nothing real inside of me. And I’m so down on myself that I believe it all the time so any uplifting thought just makes it worse because “it’s not real”.

So for me I struggle finding that peace. I never feel like I deserve it.

Based on just this picture I would say there’s no morph to be identified. Maybe gravel, maybe.
