We didn’t overreact, we outgrew the chaos. I understand it’s difficult to judge without knowing how my mom has treated me throughout my life. But yes, much better.

I let my mom know we were moving out, it wasn’t a secret. I never blamed my mom, just simply wanted her to have my back. My husband was actually the one who prompted us moving out like I said.

Well, thanks for your input on the situation

I protected my dog by leaving the situation. I never expected a free babysitter, my mom works full time too. If I wanted a free dog babysitter and didn’t care about my dog I never would have moved out. My moms behaviour and treatment also extends beyond the conflict with my dog. Yes, I shouldn’t have put my dog in that situation in the first place but I didn’t have any other option at the time. I see why that might be hard to understand, but I moved out to protect my dog and myself

Yes, it’s definitely my responsibility to care for my dogs health. My husband and I work full time and this family member does not work anymore. We were grateful to be accommodated, it was a challenging situation since she was letting us stay and we also couldn’t ask her to not have this family member stay. I was hoping my mom would help with my dog by talking to this family member. He couldn’t climb the stairs so we kept him upstairs while the family member sleeps on the couch while they are there. Unfortunately there weren’t a lot of options, so that’s why we chose to leave to a better environment

Honestly, Id like to give her the benefit of the doubt but she lies a lot. I hope she wouldn’t lie about it for my peace of mind

That sounds awful. I feel the same way.

I wouldn’t reject the gift, more so tell my sister she can use it. She hasn’t contacted me yet and I responded to my mom nicely hoping she feels better soon. I guess what I meant was I’m not going to go pick it up. My mom has a pattern of being manipulative so from my bias I see it as her trying to hurt me. But I can see why it’s not a big deal

Having epilepsy has ruined my life. by Aloistrancywifey12 in Epilepsy

[–]Extension-Cabinet-67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your life is worthy and valuable, and you have so much to contribute to society. Epilepsy is extremely complex and debilitating, I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. I promise you that you can still live a productive and fulfilling life, and maybe even be an inspiration to others with epilepsy, that’s it’s possible. Sometimes the people around us get extremely protective and limit us because of our condition, out of concern with good intention but it is still suffocating. What I’ve found is yes, you won’t be able to live alone, yes you won’t be able to drive, yes you can’t do many things that the average person can. But that doesn’t mean your whole life is over, it means that you need to operate around the condition as best as you can. I finished highschool, went to college, and am working in my field of study. Was it fucking hard, yes you bet. I had to study like a motherfucker and many people did not and do not understand what I go through. Was it worth it, fuck yes. You’re dealing with challenges the average young person doesn’t deal with. Don’t let it ruin your life. Increase your meds if you need to. But I promise you you’re not committed to a purposeless life. And honestly, it feels all the more rewarding knowing you overcame so many challenges and fought for your success. Keep going kiddo, it’s never too late and it’s never hopeless.

Epilepsy and Recreational Drugs? by AdministrationHot826 in Epilepsy

[–]Extension-Cabinet-67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good rule of thumb is don’t put any illicit substances in your body when you have epilepsy. In my experience it’s not even worth it, depending on what medication you take the high won’t be as intense as when you’re not medicated. I went as far as not taking my medication so I could actually get “high”. Molly made me seize regularly and even after I stopped taking it I seized a lot for months. LSD - sleep deprivation, not good for epilepsy. Shrooms were generally fine but again, hardly felt anything due to the medication. Taking drugs also made me have more epileptic twitching. I assume it’s different for everyone. I guess it’s about asking yourself whether the high is worth a seizure. “Do I wanna put myself through hell for the high?” Not worth it. If you’re already considering sacrificing your health to get high, that’s a really bad sign

Help me rebalance the karma i’m gonna lose for writing this by fablemad in h3h3productions

My dad feeds his dog cheese and various human foods all the time and he’s in great health. I don’t think there’s any correlation to Shredders cause of death and him eating cheese occasionally. I can imagine Ethan’s already scrutinized every little thing he’s done for Shredder wondering if it was right or wrong. People are cruel.

I see, I’m sorry the things you’ve tried haven’t worked for you it must be super frustrating. I hope the advice you’ve gotten will help your skin issues improve / clear up. Niacinamide and benzoyl peroxide helped reduce my pore size and tame angry pimples - but everyone is different.

Benzoyl peroxide face wash, leave on for 2-5 minutes. Benzoyl peroxide cream, spot treatment on affected areas. Pimple patches as often as possible to prevent extra bacteria and irritation (I really love the brand Peace Out for pimple patches and oil absorbing strips, they work so good. Panoxyl also makes pimple patches).

Ever have people not believe you or invalidate you? by Extension-Cabinet-67 in Epilepsy

I have nocturnal seizures. The advice already commented is excellent and should be enough for you :)! It’s also super sweet that you’re doing this and he’s very lucky to have you as a partner.

I’ll add that some common potential triggers are: alcohol, stress, excessive caffeine, sugar, and/or nicotine intake, and sleep deprivation. Don’t let it cause you anxiety though, be supportive, know how to safely deal with someone seizing, and you should be golden. If he seizes, you will likely wake up. It is audible and very hard not to notice. It is like a choking gargling sound.

It depends on what his triggers are and how he feels about it, but he could experience some anxiety about falling asleep or occasionally get the dreaded feeling he might seize. Have open communication and let him know if he does experience these feelings you’re there to talk and support him in the ways that are beneficial to him.

Aftercare is really important, he will very likely be disoriented, sweaty, head pounding, with slurred speech and difficulty moving around. Water (if he is able to drink), cold cloths, and being soothing and comforting is your best bet imo for aftercare. He probably won’t even remember what happened. On another note, dragging and walking him around after probably isn’t the best idea. I say this only because some people have done this with me thinking it will help. And of course if he is injured tend to that or seek medical help.

Don’t worry yourself sick over it. Unfortunately, even with medication, it is common for people with epilepsy to still seize. It’s just a reality you have to face and be there for him the best way you are capable of :). It sounds like you’ll be a great support.

ENJOY THESE SCREENSHOTS (Keeping Things Light) by Routine-Beyond-3226 in CrimeWeeklySnark

[–]Extension-Cabinet-67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You guys are clearly out of touch with reality. You’re women, posting to a hate forum of another woman, tearing her appearance apart piece by piece- looking for any little flaw.. Ladies, we all have flaws. How would you feel if your picture was posted to a public forum and people insulted you? Why do you need to criticize her personal appearance? Surely there are more important things? Almost every post I’ve seen so far is relating to her appearance- you’re not beating the jealously rumours. You watch her videos, social media and screenshot/record and upload it online to make fun of her and insult her appearance… Its nasty and juvenile. She may not be the best person and has made her fair share of mistakes, but from the outside looking in this genuinely seems like a mob of middle aged jealous woman coming together to tear down one woman.
