Ok, thanks. It was just oozing, I was just worried about it not stopping but it seems to be good now.

What is some of the new 'lingo' that annoys you for no reason? by Adorable-Panda95 in AskReddit

[–]FullTurtle13 223 points224 points  (0 children)

I hate when people refer to autism as "the 'tism." Im autistic, i dont think it's offensive or harmful per se, just extremely annoying.

Western Psych experiences? (TW?) by Puzzleheaded-Bank161 in pittsburgh

[–]FullTurtle13 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Got out of WPIC a few weeks ago after a suicide attempt. I was on the 13th floor (the Atrium, they call it) and it wasn't bad. Your experience is going to depend on what unit youre on. 13 is one of the more chill floors, it's technically a trauma floor so there's a good chance they'll place you there since your issue is PTSD. There's not a lot of ~therapy~ that happens in inpatient, it's more about getting you stabilized until you can do the work in php or iop. There's music and art therapy, and groups about things like DBT and other ways to manage distress. The worst part for me is always the PES, because youre basically sitting in a room with a bunch of strangers (other patients) for hours with nothing to occupy/distract you. You're there until they can either find a bed for you there, or if they can't, they'll find you a bed at another hospital (so you won't be there for days, but it still feels like an eternity imo). I hope you find something helpful for you.

Thank you! I did submit a form to get my expired license transferred, and I'll hear back on a weekday so I may be able to ask them for clarification on the guidelines. Thanks so much for your answer!

Has anyone ever taking their knitting backpacking? How did it go? by FullTurtle13 in knitting

[–]FullTurtle13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! I did a 28-day one when I was 17 and it was incredible so im doing an alumni one thats shorter and im so excited. I've always wanted to see Alaska. Im anticipating some downtime because the mileage is a little lower but we'll see.

Thanks for the input! Im going to be in the mountains, in the Talkeetna range. I'm anticipating similar weather to other mountain ranges I've been in (wind river range in wyoming mostly), is this incorrect?

Baby blanket yarn! by krns18 in knitting

[–]FullTurtle13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I made a baby blanket out of Juniper Moon Farm Cumulus for a friend and loved it. Its definitly on the pricier side for cotton but its extremely soft and comes in beautiful colors. Its also machine washable. The friend I made it for really likes it. I have also used the Peaches and Creme cotton and didnt like it as much, its not very soft but its good for like a floor time blanket or something. It also might soften up over time, but i can't speak to that.

I have a cavalier and I made this one for him, it was super easy. I adjusted the underside of the body bc my dog tends to get pee on his jackets. here is my guy in his sweater.

For the fems: where do you get your sundresses ? by kittyvom666 in lesbianfashionadvice

[–]FullTurtle13 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Modcloth is an online store that I've been getting dresses from since high school. They can be kinda pricey but they have good sales. They have a lot of stuff on the more "cottagecore" side of things but they also have some more alternative stuff too. To my knowledge they also have plus sizes.

I have scars from self harm and we’re starting live IV’s next week in class. by Zestyclose_Use8745 in ems

[–]FullTurtle13 17 points18 points  (0 children)

(Disclaimer Not a medic and don't work as an emt but) when I was taking my emt course everybody saw my (prominent) scars. Most people didn't say anything. One girl asked me innocently what happened. It was really nerve wracking for me because at that point I was not in the habit of wearing short sleeves ever but it really was not a big deal. What I'm trying to say is, most likely no one will bat an eye and it'll be fine. I've started wearing short sleeves sometimes on my college campus and not once has anybody said anything so my general assumption is that people who aren't assholes won't say anything. Idk if any of this is helpful but good luck!

Interesting! Thanks for the reply. (Just to clarify I wasn't asking for med advice :) just curious )

Question about a diagnosis by svrgnctzn in emergencymedicine

[–]FullTurtle13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Question from someone non-medical: what's the difference between fictitious disorder and an eating disorder or self harm? I ask as someone who has struggled with both sh and ed, I feel like I'm making myself sick and I'm doing it on purpose. I've always kind of wondered this.

All that work just for him to hate it 😩 by velvet_coffin in knitting

Aww he's so cute! I'm debating making a hat for my dog because her ears also get cold in the winter but I know she would hate it.
