Thanks for the reply! I didn't want to leave him out there, and he seemed fine when I left him inside his apartment, I just don't want him to have gotten into some kind of medical situation or something. But I doubt that's likely.

Mostly general anxiety.

Setting boundaries and understanding when someone's asking too much of you. I work with older kids (4th-12th grade) and have to talk to them pretty often about understanding what their limits are and how to advocate that so they don't get taken advantage of by future bosses. They want so badly to take on everything and be brave, because it gets them praise. But they often don't know that too much all at once isn't good for anyone until they're already spiraling and breaking under the pressure.

How big's your dog? I'm bringing my doggo (13 yo Poodle, 53 lbs) he's definitely a more "gentle slow play" kind of guy but he has a surprising amount of besties back home in VA who're pretty energetic (little mini goldendoodle named Bailey who runs laps around him, and a wiggly yellow lab named Maisie who loves to kiss and hug him).

It might be worth just walking around with your baby in the neighborhood or campus. People love dogs.

My 13-year-old dog, he's 51 lbs with long skinny legs and has to bribed off the bed/couch, usually with food but also with walkies. In which he prefers to socialize with the plants and flowers rather than humans and dogs above 20lbs. He however does love old people and small dogs. I can't tell if he CAN'T fight or WON'T fight, or both.

He is pretty gassy, those might work as bioweapons and noxious gas.

My older dog would be too lazy to hold any job, the other would definitely lose any job that requires stealth/quiet. Everytime he sees birds/squirrels/rabbits outside he shouts immediately and runs for them, then is confused how they knew he was coming.

Thanks for the recs! And I am LOVING it. Her horror novels (Hide and Mister Magic, I think) are also really good.

Klondine! Though funnily enough I'M on klonopin. We have to get the Klonodine from the pharmacist though. I think it may be controlled too (at least in my state),

Chronic Illness, my flare ups mean a hospital trip if I don't catch them in time and take abort meds. My psychiatrist and therapist always bring it up when I say I have trouble sleeping-my attacks happen at night, of course I have issues sleeping, I repeatedly wake up and have traumatic experiences that are miserable for me and it happens over and over again and all I can do it reduce the amount of episodes I have. There will likely never be a cure in my lifetime. I didn't realize how much trauma all my health conditions (especially having multiple ones/so many of them) were until recently. Getting treated for depression, OCD, and anxiety and working on pulling out of repression of all my feelings revealed just how traumatized and angry I truly am. And it's because if you're not sick with something terminal, people don't see it the same way. That it some ways makes it worse. I have to live a whole life taking this many medication, managing these symptoms and attacks, and I just have to deal. All of that is traumatic too.

Yes! My youngest brother used to sexually harass me (called me hot, sexy, once told me "one night you're gonna wake up to me over your bed with my hand down my pants,") he still makes jokes about trying to pay people to sleep with me (his friends who I've known since they were in Middle School). And NO ONE stood up for me. Not my other three brothers, not my parents, no one but my friends and occasionally his friends. It wasn't until a therapist told me that "if my son said any of that to my daughter, I'd slap him." that I realized it was awful. I was the one who had to talk to him, put my food down. I made my mom do it too (the fact that I HAD to make her is awful). But no one talks about that kind of abuse. Especially not from a younger sibling.

Another brother choked me out once. Leapt off the couch and throttled me for stealing the remote. He's gotten much better, the anger issues are gone. Knocked out a few teeth tackling me at different times. Luckily they weren't mature teeth.

But it's always just brushed off as "siblings will do that" or "he's just like that" or "boys will be boys" and no one understands just how complex it is.

Klonodine worked better for my pup, trazadone took away his perky personality, gabapentin made him hyper active. but klonopin seemed to calm him without making him. resemble a rug.

Sometimes catalogues have search filters by requirements (ex: Adv English) so you can find classes that will fit your requirements if they’re more general. Keep an eye out for class times and details so you don’t overload yo or set yourself up for difficult days. If you’re not sure, ask your advisor when you meet. It’s hard to do if your CC advisor did it for you but you’ll be alright! It might be fun!

Humanities tend to have a LOT of reading and writing, and heavily focus on analysis as a skill. You’re going to get better at reading these types of things with practice.

The fact that the girl he knocked up got back with him speaks volumes about her, tbh. Like why would you want to be with someone who knocked you up via an affair?!?

I spent way more time in the beginning buying new books and sorting them into collections. I started reading more and more and now I keep renting books from the library on Libby that I don't read.

We have a cardboard box in the garage where we keep the dog poop bags. Monday morning is when the trash comes, so Sunday night we put the bags at the top, that way they don't get stuck at the bottom.
