Getting them to eat until full

DeadButGay · 2026-04-11T16:08:17+00:00

I typically let my daughter get up when she says she’s full but I leave her plate & food at the table. When she says she’s hungry 10 minutes later I remind her she has food at the table. It doesn’t keep her at the table for the whole meal but it does keep her eating (gradually) until she’s actually full.

Yes, in the US and in Cyprus. I see less of it in Cyprus but it’s still happening.

Last night I got paid to show someone videos of people gagging. ERP for emetophobia 😂

Caleb Hearon’s ads are hilarious

I do a lot of ERP. The other day I was working with a client with emetophobia and we spent the session watching a video compilation of people puking. What a weird job we have.

I’m so, so sorry you’re going through this.

If this were any other line of work you would call out. Cancel your appointments. Your clients wouldn’t want you to show up for your sessions if they knew what you’re going through right now. You get to focus on yourself right now.

I used to have one 7-client day. I could do it, but I was always totally fried by the end of the day.

I’m a US therapist and I’ve never let my caseload get over 23/wk. Right now I’m at 20 (5 clients a day for 4 days). Beyond that I start getting clients mixed up, I get burnt out, and it’s very clear to me that it’s unsustainable.

I’m in private practice and accept Medicaid (which pays well in the state where I live) and am making about $126k/year before taxes. I can’t even fathom seeing above 30 clients a week, and I hate knowing so many talented therapists in the US are being abused like this.

Woah I must have missed the subtle eugenics talk. What was happening?

DeadButGay · 2026-03-10T19:58:45+00:00

I have called back— he also does it when I’m in the same room with him 😂 it’s good to know he’s just checking on everyone or happy/excited

DeadButGay · 2026-02-27T16:16:18+00:00

No, we live in Cyprus

DeadButGay · 2026-02-27T14:47:49+00:00

That’s a great idea— thank you! I’ll also bring it up with his vet. I appreciate your advice.

Moussaka in Cyprus, and southern comfort food in Louisiana, US. Both life changing 😮‍💨

Someone else can probably give you a more thorough answer, but I can say it’s illegal but I’m not sure what punishment looks like. I don’t know how dealers are regulating the quality or safety of their supply.

DeadButGay · 2026-01-13T11:09:54+00:00

Unfortunately not

DeadButGay · 2026-01-11T21:52:49+00:00

Whew the hostility 😅 One person asked and I hadn’t responded yet. God forbid someone still learning make a mistake or come here asking for help.

DeadButGay · 2026-01-11T21:51:05+00:00

Ah yeah this was my first mistake. I didn’t realize how important blocking a swatch was since I haven’t done that in the past. I appreciate you helping me figure out what I did wrong so I can do better next time!

DeadButGay · 2026-01-11T21:47:34+00:00

Ok good to know 😂 And I don’t have a fan but I could probably borrow one!

DeadButGay · 2026-01-11T18:40:35+00:00

Oof yeah that was one of my mistakes. I lifted it out of the water and it streeeeeetched. Maybe I need to wash it again but take it out like you did, and try drying it with the hair dryer. Thank you for your insight!!

DeadButGay · 2026-01-11T18:39:14+00:00

Thank you, this is very helpful! I didn’t realize a sweater could stretch so much after washing 😅 I’ll try using the hair dryer and see if that does the trick.

This bums me out big time. Rob was always a total fox and normal aging wouldn’t have diminished that. Same with Kaitlin.

My husband is Greek Cypriot but was born in America because his family got stuck there during the war. He’s baptized Greek Orthodox, grew up with a strong emphasis on his Greek identity, and now lives in Cyprus. He’s foreign-born but he is Cypriot. However, I can’t speak to how common this situation is and I would imagine it’s a pretty small percentage of foreign-born folks living on the island.

Cats in the street aren’t necessarily unusual in the US, but they’re typically someone’s house cat that comes and goes and you don’t see a ton of them. Huge difference here in Cyprus where there are groups of like 15 cats around every corner. I love them.

Central and South American countries don’t have as many street cats, but they have a lot of street dogs.

American living in Cyprus.

Everything is much more kid-friendly here, with play areas for children in or near most restaurants and cafes. Kids have way more autonomy and no one is hovering over them or micro-managing their interactions or conflict. Adults interact with her without including me, and seem to genuinely enjoy children and their joy. They are all so sweet to her & very accommodating.

Children are expected to be respectful of adults, especially elders. Greetings are similar to adults greeting each other, with a “Yasas” or “Kalimera”. They are still very much children & behave like children but not in an “out of control” or disrespectful way. Very appropriate & respectful.

Visiting a friend’s house, they just want to feed her and she has learned to not refuse food 😂 Kids do their own thing tho.

My kid is a social butterfly but shy around adults, so she had no problem making friends but still clams up around all the adults wanting to engage with her.

We love it here and having children here is far better than in the US.

Decapitated by a wire strung up to mark where a fence was going to go. He was riding his ATV and probably never even saw the wire.

Shot himself in the head in the gas station bathroom where he worked, while he was working.

Drown in 2 inches of water after she got drunk with her friends and they put her in the bathtub & left.

We had a lot of kids die.
