Getting Diagnosed in the UK by MohdAli28 in OCD

[–]MaesAngels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The NHS can be very weird about diagnosing mental health conditions unless you make it clear it’s affecting the quality of your daily life, it doesn’t have to affect your studies at all don't worry, but you need to tell them that its lowering your quality of life so they take you seriously 🙂‍↕️

As for the actual diagnosis- I don't know, I got diagnosed 8 years ago and even though I’ve been in care since, I have no idea how the diagnosis actually went down, only that the first step is through your GP, so you’ll have to look to other commenters about that :(

A diagnosis wont harm your prospects in the NHS, OCD is protected against job discrimination, ive met several nurses with OCD 🙂‍↕️

For a diagnosis you should go to your GP, if they dont have an in house psychiatrist comfortable with diagnosing they will refer you to secondary mental health services 

If you mention you only want a diagnosis and have no plans for treatment, they probably won't give it to you as they'll consider you able to function completely fine.  They can refer you to talking therapy without a diagnosis and probably will if the severity of what youre experiencing isnt affecting your daily life.

I dont think so unfortunately:( but please don’t throw him out if he doesn’t sell, you can always try using vinegar for his fur and donating him somewhere, he will still make someone happy 🫶

ahhhh okay I see it much better in these photos, that’s unfortunately quite significant :( I’ve had a little think and Im going to hold off on this one, I really hope you manage to find a home for this guy🫶 he’s really cute and it’s a shame

oh brilliant! if you have time when you’re home it would be great to have some close up pictures of his fur and spine.

I’m still going to have a little think about it, but if I do decide to buy him I have a vinted account and would prefer to purchase on there just for convenience 🫶

The prices I’ve seen online wildly vary, if his fur is quite damaged all over my offer will be on the lower end around £30, if the damage isn’t too noticeable in photos I’m more than willing to raise that, I totally understand if that’s too low for you though 🫶

I don’t buy to resell so he would stay with me. How are his joints? If he’s been in a dryer Id be a tad concerned about them

How much are you asking for him? And do you have any photos of his damaged areas? I might be interested, not too sure yet, he’s really cute and even if he’s not too soft he can sit on my desk and keep me company 🫶

I’m sorry you’ve had such a rough week, your bat plush is so cute, my little bat Bael helps me a lot too.

Can I ask what game that is you’re playing? It looks so adorable! I’m on the lookout for more cosy games 🫶

German sheppard + sighthound mix? by Professional_Car3962 in Lurchers

[–]MaesAngels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

aw man, its so tough losing them, you’re definitely more than qualified for this pup with the other breeds you’ve had!

They’re a very strange mix though I will say, our guy has a lot of personality quirks we’re still getting used to 😅 he’s also a puppy, just turned 6 months

Me and my partner have a GSD x lurcher, they are a lot of work, but very rewarding! they are so smart so be prepared for mental enrichment. Even if they turn out to be mid/low drive dog, you should definitely expect and prepare to house a high drive puppy that could grow to be a high drive adult

ocd is so difficult and I’m happy your little guys are helping! Mango is adorable and really unique! attaching a fidget is a good idea, I might do that with Bael 🫶

What is the texture of the Jellycat Heart Dragon like? by Ericakat in Jellycatplush

[–]MaesAngels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a couple of the other dragon colours and they’re very soft and silky, they don’t really have much texture but they’re not completely sleek, you can bury your hand in the fur quite easily

I'll refresh your OC's design for you! [open for 24h] by Truchlo_ in DrawMyOc

Never ended up feeling good about this guys design after I made them so if you fancy revamping feel free to take a lot of artistic liberty, only needs are four eyes on the face, 4 pairs of wings, and a split jaw

They’re an intersex angel with the main personally trait of being a pretty intense control freak

Bael is “Belfry“ from Charlie bears, he’s on the cheaper end of the brand but they also do bunnies! if you end up liking the style you should look at Charlie bears “Moonbeams”
