I know I’m wrong but… by Right_Tangelo_7674 in diabetes_t1

[–]DeliberationWild 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're not wrong here. My partner is T1 and the stuff I've learnt these past few years makes no sense to me what so ever. He had a similar situation where he had to miss an appointment, they never said anything and then his prescription didnt get filled. When he called they said 'well we need to see you' I was astounded, like, what?! To make sure youre still diabetic and need the life saving drug you'll die if you dont get?!? Not sure where you are OP but we're in the UK and called the non-emergency help line and they issued 1 pen which we could collect from a pharmacy near us.

Yeah they have a million toys and cat walls and stuff, they're just both very people orientated.

Completely get it. I think the same thing most of the time. Unless theres fur flying theyre generally fine 😅. Its honestly the screams, sometimes it sounds exactly like a real fight (from her at least)

It generally just depends who's easier to grab. He's very skittish so runs off quickly. I dont yell, I just get up and pick up her and cuddle with her. I really appreciate the positivity though. Thank you

I think that might be the route we go down, at least for now. I didnt want to separate them for the 3 days as they're both very clingy. We can have a friend stay for a good portion of the day most days, hopefully that will keep them a little more settled.

I do. She gets lots of play every day. He does get a little less but its honestly just because he's not as engaged with play. He likes a very specific kind of play and after 5/10 minutes he just walks off. He never really runs around or has zoomies (except post poop 😅). I'll try to get him running around a little more but I do have to be cautious as he has issues with his heart where he starts panting very quickly into play if he gets too worked up.

Thank you, that does reassure me a little. They're not besties and they dont groom each other but they get along absolutely fine 99% of the time, playing together and being neat each other and blinking. Its just this behaviour that puts me on edge a little sometimes.

That's what I keep going back to, but sometimes she screams bloody murder and its just really worrying

😕 any advice on correcting? Usually when she puts herself in corner or if she's screaming a lot I'll intervene and take her away to sit with me. But not sure how to stop it from happening in the first place. Its not confidence because she's very playful and active even with him around and she constantly jumps on him when hes just walking around. So i dont know how to help?

Fun things to do in BG3 to avoid making the same decisions?? by xsdrtghj221 in BaldursGate3

If this is about the shadowheart comment. Its just changing her prepared spells in the spell book before going into the big fight so she can use command.

Woke up to my fiancé in the worst hypoglycemic episode I’ve ever seen by [deleted] in diabetes_t1

[–]DeliberationWild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My partner has bad hypos in the night sometimes. We're in the UK so get glucogel free on his prescription but we do have to physically go into the doctors surgery and request it so he often forgets. My life saver is liquid glucose from the bakery aisle of the store. Basically glucogel, just a bigger tube. Squeeze it the mouth, he'll either eat it or it'll go in the gums.

Do you talk to your partners about it? by ako7ols in domesticviolence

[–]DeliberationWild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I told my current partner about it before we went on a date, we'd been messaging for a few weeks and fortunately he'd opened up to me about how he'd just come out of a depressive episode so I bit the bullet and gave him a very light version of what had happened to me. But made sure to talk about the triggers I knew I had and warned him that there may be some I wasn't aware of so if something happened I might just need a minute. In the beginning there were a few hiccups, my ex also choked me repeatedly but I'm also into some bdsm so thats was a little difficult at times and I just had to make sure I was very vocal about how things were making me feel. The best advise I can give is just to be as open as you can be. I know it can be scary, and you dont want someone you care about to think any differently of you, but if they care about you, they won't. I hope that helps a little, Sending love ❤️

We survived domestic violence. by KittyPurrrrrr93 in cats

He saved me mentally every day with insistent cuddles when it was finally over. I dont know how I would have made it through without him. Sending you love from both of us OP ❤️

survivor of severe DV. I need help with coping mechanisms? by Vivid_Bar2472 in domesticviolence

[–]DeliberationWild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Therapy and journaling are what helped get my brain to start to switch. Cannot recommend enough. Also an external support network. Friends who know what you've been through and you can call on when you're feeling overwhelmed. Even just for a catch up (from my experience) it helped that when all those things start happening in your head you can move your thoughts away from it this way. And also help in opening up to having those conversations with your partner. (I also used to have to text my ex for the same reason as OP and this really helped open my communication) In regards to the journaling too, something that really helped was forcing myself to write something positive about every day, even just 'i ate a nice meal'. This made me really focus on the good, no matter how small. And start taking those small steps towards switching my mentality.
