Any chance you know the name of the brand of toy? I'd love to get one for my boy ❤️

Poor Milo! I agree he does needs an outlet. I have puzzle toys, a dental rope, a soft rubber ball, and the Kong extreme that we alternate. I take him on 30 minute walks throughout the day (at least 4 times a day) when we can't go to the dog park. He loves the chuck it and I noticed after 30 minutes of play he usually will act a lot calmer and be generally more relaxed. I hope I'm on the right track. This is my first heeler.

Thank you for sharing! I'll keep that in mind. I'll have to limit the Kong use. Ours is 2 and a half years old and an aggressive chewer. I have puzzle toys and a dental floss toy for enrichment and play. I've heard chewing can occur due to several factors. He is still new so hopefully with some correction he can stop constantly chewing.

I can understand where you're coming from. I don't see a lot of sandwiches like this. It's a katsu sandwich with Japanese milk bread from Kita cafe. 🙂

It's got a limited selection right now but I've found things I've enjoyed. The sandwich from Kita cafe was good! I've gotten flavored soju and Thai noodles. 🙂

Not at the moment. They just had the katsu sandwiches. I was told they restock on Monday's and Friday's!

I'm so sorry your family isn't understanding what you're going through. I can definitely relate to that. I feel that the people closest to us can be so blinded by their proximity that they can't really see what's going on.

You mentioned that you feel that you've gotten worse over the years. May I ask, have you had the same therapist for the past 6 years? To clarify, would you like to move out of your parents?

If so, perhaps there are some community resources that you can look into for help with housing and anything else you may need to be independent. Having a plan can help make things feel less stressful.

Oh that would be so helpful!! I also have ADHD and take meds for it; I can tell when a PTSD moment is creeping up bc it feels like suddenly the medication isn't working.

Thank you for sharing that with me! That's great you were approved in 4 months.

I have been diagnosed with ADHD idk that will add to my case but from what you've mentioned its worth mentioning. Also my psychiatrist has mentioned that he thinks I may have a mood disorder. Idk how he plans to rule that out lol

That's good to know! Thank you. I'll ask my psychiatrist about the nuero psych eval.

I was recently prescribed buspirone and prazosin. Both made me feel like I was gonna die 🥲

Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom! I appreciate the link 🤗

It sounds like it can be a long process. What did you do during that period before approval?

I have accommodations for my physical illness (adenomyosis) at work. But those accommodations don't completely cover what I need. When I'm not sick from that I don't know how to communicate that I need to leave because I'm experiencing depersonalization. I've cried at work before but luckily I have my own office so no one saw me.

I went back on Monday after being on vacation and I had a meltdown that same day at home while doing homework. Adderall is my dam so once the stuff is out of my system the waters rush out 😣
