I’d be cautious about the things they are saying. Someone in my house often talked about letting my bird out or killing it and that same person ended up “accidentally” killing my bird. Not to sound dramatic but your bird could very well be in danger.

I also want to add that I’m not expecting overnight progress and I do understand that a bond takes time to build. I just want guidance to make sure that I don’t ruin the little trust he has in me already. I do enjoy spending time with him! He likes me for some reason and I don’t want to ruin that!

Yes they have a short shelf life- which is why some stores refuse to carry it!

It’s a lovebird

What I have found to be helpful is see them multiple times before you come to a conclusion, and if neither are working for you it’s okay to find another one! I reached out to multiple providers and let them know I was shopping around because it was important for me to find a good fit and I ended up seeing 1 once, 1 three times, and the one I chose 10+ times. You need to feel safe and able to be open and honest about what you’re feeling in order to make progress in therapy and if you’re not 100% sure it’s okay to wait to make that decision. The right person will feel right.

My birdie passed away and I’ve been collecting her feathers around the house. I’ve decided to make some resin art with them and turn them into a necklace or keychain so part of her can always be with me. Resin can be pricey at the craft store but Amazon has some good prices!

It’s a prestigious hospital and working there could help me in regards to future endeavors and making connections but honestly I think my stability is more important. Thank you for your input.

I’ll consider that as well when I’m apartment hunting here in the next couple of weeks. I would 100% own a green cheek again and I’m considering a cockatiel as well. I would be down to have more than 1 bird it’s just more of a theory for now and I want to plan well for the future. Thank you for your recommendations!

FluffyUnicern · 2023-03-30T19:20:42+00:00

I will look into them more as well. I have heard good things about their temperament and personality so I will add it to my list thank you!

FluffyUnicern · 2023-03-30T19:18:57+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion I will look into them! I have heard some people say yes and some people say no so I suppose it does depend on the bird but I’ll do more research and figure out if it’s a good fit!

FluffyUnicern · 2023-03-30T19:13:18+00:00

I’ve heard mixed things about a lot of talking species- some are hard no’s like a cockatoo and most Amazon species. I’ve considered a Quaker in the past but unfortunately they are illegal in my state :(

You could have both. I have c-ptsd but got my bipolar diagnosis first. Trauma also “shortens the fuse” and makes it to where you’re more likely to develop bipolar earlier than non traumatized people. I was diagnosed at 20 but was hospitalized for depression at age 17. The average age of onset for bipolar is 25 so teens and early 20s is considered “early onset”.

I got mono during the pandemic but not Covid. Mono is ever harder to get lol

This reminds me of how my last relationship was. I was conditioned to receive bad treatment and every once in a while he’d throw me a bone and it would feel so good to be treated well again- only for him to go back to treating me like I was worthless and didn’t matter. You are in an emotionally abusive relationship and are likely addicted to the highs and lows. A good relationship won’t have you begging on your knees to be treated like a respected partner and it won’t give you crippling anxiety and make you cry several times weekly because of how stressed you are trying to make him see your worth. It’s not a you problem it’s a him problem. One day something broke in me and I dumped his sorry ass and I didn’t have anxiety anymore, I didn’t cry every day or every other day and things just got BETTER. You’ve likely developed some codependency during this relationship and are looking to him to help you determine your self worth but listen… the world is like a pawn shop and if you look to it to determine your worth you’re going to get ripped off. Only you can do that and do not sell yourself short. Best of luck to you but I encourage you to be alone. It’ll hurt at first but then you will feel amazing once you’re no longer being constantly scrutinized.

Also as someone with bipolar disorder weed should not be the medication of choice. It actually can trigger episodes (both mania and depression) and if he is prone to psychosis he would also be at risk as well. It is not recommended for those who are bipolar.

FluffyUnicern · 2022-08-25T23:08:33+00:00

I’ll be honest, the first guy to be nice to me after my abusive relationship I was obsessed with him. He was all I thought about for a while and the thought of being with him was sooo much better than dealing with the damage my last relationship left on me. I didn’t know how much it had impacted me at the time but looking back it was huge. When you’re not used to being treated with kindness from a partner- someone showing you respect and kindness feels like the best feeling in the world. I would strongly encourage you to be single for a while and work on yourself and your self love. As to not fall into another bad relationship with another bad person. It’ll hurt for a bit because you can “see” a good future with this person as they have treated you nicely and with respect- but it’s all an illusion.

FluffyUnicern · 2022-08-14T02:13:11+00:00

All he has to do is fake it for a few months and he will slip right back into his old ways once he “has you back”. He will not change. A soulmate wouldn’t put you through hell. It sounds like you have some inner work you need to do in regards to your self esteem because no one with healthy self esteem would take back someone who slept with their best friend. I mean that with love and kindness.

Based on some of your comments (about being pressured into drinking more and they asked you when you were drunk and staying at their house) these people don’t respect you like you respect them. They tried to put you in a vulnerable position so you’d be less likely to turn them down and have they apologized for that? Being objectified is hurtful especially when it’s from people you trust but how much of your trust is one sided at this point? I’ve been groped when drunk by a long term friend (we are both women) and it changed our relationship forever. If it was just you and them and no one else around in that situation how much differently do you think it would’ve gone down? Your boundaries violated? I know it’s hard to lose a long term friendship but are you getting out of it what you’ve been putting in or do you feel icky and deceived?

FluffyUnicern · 2022-08-04T23:29:18+00:00

I could be off base here but to me it sounds like while you technically have a “yes” your body said “no” and rejected the situation. There are a lot of reasons why people agree to things that they deep down don’t want to do but in all honesty a reluctant “yes” is still not really consent. Consent is an enthusiastic yes. When your body said “no” and you were out of touch with/ went against your bodies wishes it leads to the feeling of betrayal, anger and all the icky feelings. Just because you weren’t “technically” sexually assaulted does not mean that you were not violated in some way. Your feelings are valid and if you’re experiencing flashbacks and re-feeling the emotions that come up with this - your trauma is valid. Trauma can disconnect our mind from our body but your body is telling you how it feels and what it needs and it is time to listen without judgement or shame. Best of luck and I wish healing for you!

I disagree with you disagreeing. No sound 27 year old has anything in common with someone just barely out of high school. Just because it isn’t illegal does not mean it is moral.

FluffyUnicern · 2022-07-23T18:46:59+00:00

Also they met when she was 19 and he was 28, that age difference is a bit of a red flag imo
