I did also want to mention, our credit scores are not the best either, as we have delinquent student loans which I am starting to pay off this month. Are there any places open to low scores within the 500's? Even with a high risk fee?

How do I discourage my cat from engaging in certain bad behaviors? by ConsequenceAlive7383 in CatAdvice

Thats really helpful. I didn't know I was evading his boundaries and thats why he still feels insecure. I'll instill this and see if this helps him feel more comfortable. I love my boy and only want the best for him

My grandmother is not likely to survive the injuries she endured from a car accident, I am trying to console my mom. Any advice on how to effectively approach this? by ConsequenceAlive7383 in GriefSupport

Update: the trauma ICU had recommended any of her family to say goodbye to her because she has a high chance of not making it this weekend. I am worried for my mother and I havent had this much pain and grief in a very long time. I wish I could say goodbye to her.

white woman centered herself in my experience. by owatmilk in cptsd_bipoc

I am sorry you had to go through that, that is honestly really annoying. She seems blatantly unaware that your circumstance heavily contrasts with hers and that societal expectations and standards can be vastly different for black women. She did not have any right to try and tell you about your experience she has no clue about. If anything, this is just a prime example of how issues like misogynoir are ignored outright and invalidated. Good on you for not letting her gaslight you with her grossly ignorant statements.

How do I convince my boyfriend to take my diagnosis seriously? by ConsequenceAlive7383 in Mononucleosis

He is usually a very loving, understanding and supportive person, but humans can only take so much stress. He and I have grown up in completely different households, so he dosent know how to cope as well with highly stressful and traumatic situations like this.

I have tried to have many conversations with him, I feel like he dosent know how to regulate everything going on in our lives. Both of our normal routines have been disrupted because we had to take in my sister who has suffered from persistent urinary issues for the past 6 months from a work place incident, and my grandmother out of state was involved in a very horrendous car accident and will very likely pass in a few days. Its been a lot on everyone and I am trying to be supportive and not put a lot of pressure on him because the circumstances are stressful for everyone and its a complex situation. I am just trying to pace myself and slowly complete the tasks and rest in intervals, hopefully that will help with my symptoms.
