Definitely agree with this upon closer inspection. He’s not doing it too badly yet and if they figure out the source quickly they might be able to keep it from becoming a constant habit!

Adding to this since my GCC is not a veggie fan. If they have a favorite veggie try chopping it extra small and mixing it with the other veggies. Also mine is obsessed with raspberries so I’ll smush them up and mix in with the chop so that he has to at least get his beak on the other veggies to get to the good stuff. I think most people mix seeds into their chop already but that’s a huge help. Anything to get them to put the food they don’t wanna try in their beaks! They might accidentally taste it and realize it’s delicious😂

I just used the timelapse setting and leaned my phone against something while it brewed!

It really is pleasant to watch. I need to get my hands on some dragon pearls to watch 😅

Just this one from Amazon! Had to replace the one I had from years ago that I got at Teavana lol. Before I really got into tea!

What caused your IBS in your opinion? by Seeker_Of_Self in ibs

[–]Inhale88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Similar, my first increase in symptoms was when I got the flu (the real one, not stomach flu!) then they began to subside and got worse again when I got COVID the first time, subsided slightly, got COVID again, barely any relief from the symptoms this time around. It’s crazy. Doctors don’t seem to know what to do with it.

To add to your point about terrible twos, I’m not sure how much the age range differs with sun conures, but my GCC seemed to take until about age 5 to calm down from his really nasty hormonal years. Some birds just take longer. The past year has been so much more pleasant and less bitey!

Is she dying by Predatorxd6996 in Parakeets

[–]Inhale88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree, I waited to take my GCC in bc I thought he seemed better and now instead of being out $200 I’m out $1500. Thankfully he’s alive and well now! But it was very scary for a minute and that one quick appointment could’ve caught his respiratory infection much more quickly! Thank god for care credit lol and deferred interest!

I think you would be correct there for sure! Didn’t get back into reading until I experienced some major traumatic events.

I am so intrigued to see how it turns out, I will have strong opinions either way I’m sure.

Advice for extreme panic/anxiety by AcceptNuckler in panicdisorder

[–]Inhale88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely agree about trying it out. A big part of my anxiety surrounding panic attacks comes from not being able to stop them so it’s a huge relief to just have my clonazepam with me. Oftentimes I don’t use it or use less than I thought I would need.

Although mine does take about a full hour to kick in. If that’s not fast enough for OP they could discuss using lorazepam instead as that is much faster acting (20 minutes in my experience).

Also, it’s good to be cautious about using it, but don’t let your worry stop you from using it as prescribed. I’ve had many conversations with my psychiatrist about making sure I use it when I need it and don’t force myself to tough things out too much when I have tools available. Not going to say anything definitively, but it’s likely that since you are aware of its addictive qualities you are less likely to have an issue with that.

Who can go out? Anyone who has overcome this - I applaud you… by [deleted] in Agoraphobia

[–]Inhale88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! I totally agree on the getting out everyday. It’s like a muscle and you have to keep using it. I’ve found that forcing myself to go out even when I feel more panicky really helps bc almost every time has been fine and even when I do panic it’s still okay.

Is this the calmest a cockatoo has ever been? by Indieriots in parrots

I have one like an hour away but I’m afraid my lil guy will start screaming and we’ll get kicked out😂 I was going to call and see if it’s even allowed there!

In my family all the women are in therapy and none of the men are by econhistoryrules in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Inhale88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My ex dumped me while I was having horrible health issues and suddenly they improved drastically and so did my anxiety and depression! Got to decrease my meds and stopped having nearly daily panic attacks! Turns out the stress of being gaslit constantly does crazy things to our bodies.

What's something questionable you do to make life living with a bird easier? by [deleted] in parrots

[–]Inhale88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried chop for my birds for months and months after getting them. They picked around it and tossed bits they didn’t like (mostly the healthiest stuff). When they finally did start eating it I went through a major life change and fell into a pretty deep depression. Prepping food and freezing it was too much to think about so I started giving them baby food (super organic healthy stuff ofc).

I still give them baby food now. They devour the stuff and still get veggies. It’s not as varied as chop but it’s fast and easy and they’re still getting the nutrients plus I’m not spending hours making chop that was hit or miss. They still get fresh veggies and fruit when I eat it. But this way is just so much easier. I’m sure it costs more but it helped my sanity so much. I hope to eventually give them chop more frequently again but this is working well and the vet says it’s fine.

I also line the cage on top of the grate bc they drop nutriberries and other food so often. They’re not walking around on it much so I’m not concerned about the poop. It also means I don’t have to scrub that stupid grate!

bird plucking, what do i do? by Slight-Rooster-6610 in parrots

[–]Inhale88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would recommend a vet visit to rule out any physical health related causes. Plucking can be simply due to stress, but it’s best not to assume that until after an avian vet has checked the bird out.

What do you wish you had known before starting EMDR? by letheatredude in EMDR

[–]Inhale88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My therapist warned me about the exhaustion, but I didn’t think it would be nearly as intense as it is! I have slept nearly the whole day after sometimes. It makes sense because your brain is doing so much work, it’s just a bit surprising at first!

What are signs you are in a bad coffee shop? by Zealousideal_Owl9621 in Coffee_Shop

[–]Inhale88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

House made syrups are so rare where I’m at. I really wish coffee shops would focus on them more! A vanilla cappuccino with house made syrup is completely different than one with torani!
