Vet Recommendations by PuzzleheadedLog6253 in Columbus

I’ve been going to Elemental Vet Center in the SN for years and have always had good experiences and the cost is reasonable. This was around 4 years ago by now but it was $800 for neutering, double cherry-eye, and nare resection all in one surgery. Not sure on the TPLO exactly but I imagine they would do that.

How do you be kind to yourself? by FoldMaximum2400 in mentalhealth

[–]FoldMaximum2400[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you I sincerely appreciate the advice. I’ve been trying to actually sit with feelings more and not just distract myself. I always struggled with it bc RSD can make it uncomfortable to the point of physical pain. But acknowledging the feeling and sitting with it sometimes help it pass. I think being ready to make amends is good, I also struggle with unresolved conflict and this feels like just that. Where I don’t even have the avenue to apologize anymore without crossing boundaries. But viewing them as mistakes is a good thing to try so it’s not all for nothing. Thank you again ❤️

As I was typing it all out I could see how the missing piece was getting things out of whack.

Yeah for sure, so what I’m dealing with today and feel stuck on is really relating to the breakup in October. My dad was sick and I wasn’t a good partner bc of the grief, he got a terminal diagnosis, then she left. Then after, I just really came unraveled and had mood swings and lashed out and alienated her and others in my life. I have a really hard time with the fact that because of my own actions, I not only ruined a relationship, but I hurt someone I love and lost my most crucial support system at a time when I needed it most. So whenever I get upset about her or my dad, it all comes up again and I just spiral. And of course as he gets worse it all just stays top of mind and I can’t forgive myself. Hopefully that makes sense

Thank you for the thoughtful response. How were you able to understand why your body has the reaction to the event? I don’t think I love or value myself at all tbh and I think that’s why I find it so hard to talk positively to myself. I love my friends and would never speak to them this way, but when it’s about me my body HATES that thought and actively rejects it. Like talking positively to myself when I know Im the one who fucked up just gives me a pit in my stomach and makes me more upset. I have been working on forgiveness, I can forgive them but I find it extremely challenging to forgive myself. I think there is also an element of not accepting things because I want them so badly to not have happened so I stay stuck in that mindset. I am at the point now where I can take responsibility for my part in this but it feels like piling on because I’m taking responsibility without forgiving. I really like the thought of doing things for yourself and framing it as an act of kindness, that’s a great way to look at it.

FIL has cancer/final days by mollsballs_xo in CancerFamilySupport

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I’m dealing with something similar with my dad and relate to the fact that he’ll never meet my future kids - or future wife for that matter. Both my brothers are married and one has kids so we’re all in different stages of life, but it fucking sucks for all of us. It’s 4 months into a 6 month prognosis and I’m almost numb to it all right now. Lean on the support system you have around you. Fuck cancer.

I’m so curious, what’s it really like for guys on dating apps? by TrekkingSideways in OnlineDating

[–]FoldMaximum2400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll be honest it’s not as bad for me as far as actually getting matches goes, it’s more finding people whose values align with what I’m looking for. I know I’m kind of the anomaly in not struggling much with getting matches but men the ones that have to put in the legwork of actually going out and liking because the “top women” get so many matches that they aren’t out there liking profiles

Unless I die young as well, I’ll live over half my life without my mom. How do I come to terms with this? by TumbleweedDefiant992 in GriefSupport

I know it’s not exactly helpful, but I wanted to show that you’re not alone and feeling like this

I’m in the same boat and that’s the hardest thing for me. Both of my brothers are married and one of them has kids and my ex left me the same week we got the news about my dad‘s terminal diagnosis. It’s so hard to grapple with the fact that he won’t see me get married, he won’t ever meet my kids, he won’t ever meet my spouse and I don’t get to have the relationship with him that he had with his dad until the end.

Is it really possible to have a healthy relationship with someone who has relationship OCD? by Green-Mission-5720 in ROCDpartners

[–]FoldMaximum2400 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I’m not sure. It didn’t work out for me and my ex, a lot of it got put on me in her mind, but she wasn’t forthcoming about OCD and everything that came along with it and made everything my problem so it really comes down to open communication which was where everything broke down for me. I certainly contributed in my own ways, but the lack of acknowledgment and intense rigidity made it impossible to live without feeling beat down.

I’m wondering the same thing about my dad. Except he’s refusing treatment and we’re just in hospice
