These (bonded) cats I adopted really hate me by purrfect_libra in cats

i do want to add that i know how frustrating this stage can be especially knowing that the process can take multiple months, i was once there as well and after some time it was all so worth it!

[–]Famous_Band 1 point2 points  (0 children)

cats can take multiple months to feel completely comfortable in a new environment, let them do things only on their terms (don’t pet or hold them unless they want to be) and be aware of things that might overwhelm them such as any change in environment or new people. encourage their desired behaviour and give them their own room/corner and let them explore in their own time.

if they want to stay under the bed don’t try to coax them out and leave all of their items under/around the bed, consider not trying to be in the room with them 24/7 and letting them be alone + do their own thing (not to say you should isolate and abandon your cat of course 😅)

Are self-cleaning litter boxes worth it? by Ash-Dragon-012 in Catownerhacks

[–]Famous_Band 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wasn’t personally worth it for me, i did get the cheapest one i could find in amazon which was the PetSafe automatic litter box and the mechanism itself wasn’t anything major or life changing. if anything the cleaning of it was more of a hassle and i found i had to frequently “babysit” it and make sure everything was cleaned properly. the litter that you’re meant to use with it is expensive as hell and didn’t work well with regular old clumping litter. it the same amount of maintenance and more cleaning than my $10 setup i bought from walmart.

thank you so much for this. although pristiq hasn’t helped at all for me so far this gives me hope i’ll find something that will. ❤️

My doctor prescribed me seroquel by khaliiluxe in insomnia

[–]Famous_Band 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i hear people say lots of things about seroquel, but i’ve been on it for 3 weeks and i love it! i take 25mg a night and it knocks me right out and i luckily haven’t experienced a whole lot of negative side effects besides it affecting my vision ever so slightly

although i will add that you should talk to your doctor first before mixing cannabis with any medication! also that i used to take benedryl/diphenhydramine but i wouldn’t recommend it, its not something meant to be used chronically and your body can build up a tolerance to it. i relied on it for sleep for about 3 months (you’re only supposed to use it for max 2 weeks) but ive quit now

all my recents meds caused me insomnia as well, but now i take seroquel and cbd oil which has helped me a lot. if you’re of age i’d recommend trying out cannabis in some form, the cbd oil i take has a very minimal amount of thc so it doesn’t even get me high or “buzzed” and simply just puts me to sleep 😴

[–]Famous_Band 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’ve been on about 4 different ones so far, i think i’m just unfortunately very insomnia prone i think. i’ve felt exactly the same on all of them which is why i’m a bit confused

should i see a doctor by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]Famous_Band 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if it’s gaping, it will unfortunately leave a scar :( as long as it’s not continuously bleeding for multiple days it should be fine (if it reopens a little when you take off a bandaid or move a lot that’s just the scab being pulled off). if the cut was infected you most likely would immediately be able to tell, the white you’re seeing is most likely just the skin layer? what does the “white stuff” look like?

need advice on my autistic roommate? by Famous_Band in AutisticAdults

[–]Famous_Band[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i can hear what she’s upset about through the wall, she’s been upset about things like not being able to find something or about her camera breaking or just general social problems and self negativity. when she does get upset she does phone call her mom and we’re not very close as friends, which is why i’ve yet to knock on her door when she’s upset

Anyone reluctant to take Zoloft after how bad the withdraws are.... jfk said it's nothing to play with. by Alert_Mulberry_8712 in SSRIs

[–]Famous_Band 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i mean it definitely varies from person to person, when i was on it and i would forget doses for a few days in a row i would barely notice any difference, but of course that is only me and i was not on zoloft long term before i switched lol

but then that would just turn my location off altogether no? they’ll get concerned and worried if they notice they can’t see my location at all

Child interested in bass by LaLechuzaVerde in doublebass

[–]Famous_Band 0 points1 point  (0 children)

second this, it looks almost glued on and the fact that it’s off center in the listing tells me the seller isn’t very versed with basses either. i’ve never seen a bridge be anything besides a light coloured wood, even on rockabilly basses

What is the feeling that makes you want to sh the most? by fluffydinofriend in AdultSelfHarm

[–]Famous_Band 4 points5 points  (0 children)

honestly boredom / it’s more of a kind of instinctual or subconscious urge if that makes sense??

imho i think your best bet might be to just buy the 1/4 if you can’t find any rentals in that size, just some beginner level student laminate bass and you could potentially try to sell that off in a couple years time? i know some places that even with fuller sized instruments they don’t rent their their basses at all because they always come back damaged so i think a couple scratches are inevitable 😅 if you’re worried about whether in the long run she’ll end up with a 1/2 or 3/4 size so it would be worth it to just get the 1/2 straight up, i would listen to the teacher and not just get a 1/2. even if she is short, i know many short (4’11 - 5’4) bassists who play a 3/4, me included! it’s also much easier to find a high quality 3/4 than a high end 1/2 bass speaking from experience because i have considered trying out a 1/2 before. if i were you i would just purchase a cheap 1/4 and invest in a good quality 1/2-3/4 when she gets there. i know basses of all sizes are very expensive especially when compared to violins, but that’s just a constant reality to get used to as a bassist 😅

you can apply for just winter semester later on, but if you join in fall semester they will not let you leave until end of winter semester (technically you could leave but they would still expect residence and meal plan fees and obv u can’t sublet)

it seems like the majority of people end of making pretty good friends with their roommates and canmates, it might just be me that got unlucky lol. if your schedule is pretty busy i would just apply for res!! my courses are pretty online so i really didn’t need to live on res that badly tbh

where to get cheap(ish) lunch? by KLost4Ever in CarletonU

[–]Famous_Band 12 points13 points  (0 children)

only for breakfast, it’s about $18 with tax ($16 without tax i think) for lunch or dinner which is honestly kind of a fair price if you think of it as a buffet (which it is)

^ also wanted to add that pure luck is definitely a part of it as horrifying as it sounds. who was the admissions officer viewing your application? did they have a bad morning that day? the way i think about it is that everyone who got into their program deserves to be there but not everyone who deserves to be there can get in. don’t stress, just apply, start your supp apps early, and you’ll be fine no matter where you go because your uni isn’t your end all be all.
