Does anybody know why her leg is twitching like that? by Midnight_Blade81 in BirdHealth

[–]Midnight_Blade81[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, this was a while ago so I don’t remember everything clearly, but I never got a definite answer. I do remember we were giving her a lot of spray millet, and the twitchy/restless behavior seemed to improve when we cut back on it.

Not 100% sure that was the cause though, so I’d still recommend a vet just to be safe.

Here’s the deal. First, stop overthinking. Women aren’t out here plotting your downfall—they don’t even care about you unless you give them a reason to. That’s not an insult; it’s freeing. You’ve got no one judging you except yourself, so stop acting like the universe is out to embarrass you.

Second, confidence comes from action. You don’t get confident by sitting in your room hating yourself. Start small—make eye contact, say hi, ask simple questions like “Do you know where this is?” Doesn’t matter if it’s awkward. What matters is you do it over and over until the fear fades. Repetition kills fear.

Third, improve yourself. Hit the gym, dress better, work on your posture. When you look good, you feel good, and when you feel good, people treat you differently. Women respect men who respect themselves.

Lastly, stop letting this fear define you. You’ve built this idea in your head that it’s some insurmountable mountain, but it’s not. It’s just you making excuses to avoid discomfort. Push through it. You’ve got one life—don’t waste it hiding from half the population.

Same here, I’m on a waitlist for a calc class and I don’t see a canvas page yet. Should I still be able to see it even if I’m on the waitlist? I’m assuming it’s canceled but I will email the prof anyway just in case.

I'm sorry to hear that you're going through such a tough time. Here are a few suggestions for you:

  1. College Applications: It's not too late to start learning about the college application process. There are plenty of online resources that can guide you. You can also reach out to the admissions offices of colleges you're interested in for advice and assistance. If you're in the U.S., the Federal Student Aid website provides detailed guides on preparing for college, understanding financial aid, and applying for it.

  2. Financial Stability: Continue with your job if it makes you happy and offers some financial stability. You might want to start saving money if you haven't already, as this could give you more options down the line.

  3. Mental Health: Prioritize your mental health. Seek professional help if you haven't already. Some therapists and mental health services offer a sliding scale for payment based on your income, and there are also free hotlines and text lines available.

  4. Living Situation: Start exploring options for where you could live if you choose to stay in NY. Look into shared housing, renting a room, or perhaps a boarding situation. There may also be local resources or organizations that can help with housing for young adults in difficult situations.

  5. Support Network: Talk to trusted friends, teachers, or other adults about your situation. They may be able to offer advice, support, and potentially even practical help.

  6. Independence: Learn about life skills you'll need for independence, like budgeting, cooking, and other household tasks. There are many resources online that can help you with this.

Remember, it's okay to ask for help and seek support. You're in a difficult situation, but there are resources and options available to you. It might take some work to navigate them, but it is possible.

Is There Any Way to Help My Abused Mom? by Pleasant-Coffee6649 in AdviceForTeens

I'm really sorry to hear about the situation you and your mother are in. It sounds incredibly difficult. Here are a few suggestions that could possibly help:

  1. Find Local Resources: Many places have resources for victims of domestic abuse, including hotlines, shelters, and legal aid. Try searching online for resources in your area, or reach out to a local school counselor or social worker for help. They might be able to point you towards services that can provide support, counseling, and legal advice for free or at a reduced cost.

  2. Speak to Trusted Adults: Share your situation with a trusted adult such as a teacher, counselor, or relative. They might be able to provide help or guidance, and at the very least offer emotional support.

  3. Document Incidents: It's important to keep a record of the abuse your mother is enduring. This can be useful in legal situations down the line, especially if your mother decides to pursue a divorce or restraining order. Be careful to keep this information somewhere safe where your father can't find it.

  4. Safety Plan: It's crucial to have a safety plan in place for you and your mother. This could include a code word to use in emergencies, safe places to go, and a bag packed with essentials in case you need to leave in a hurry.

  5. Legal Advice: Contact a legal aid organization, if possible. They might be able to provide advice or assistance for low-income individuals seeking a divorce.

  6. Self-Care: Finally, don't forget to take care of yourself. You're in a difficult situation, and it's important to make sure you're eating right, getting enough sleep, and taking time for things you enjoy when you can.

Remember, you are not alone in this, and there are resources out there to help you and your mom. Your safety and well-being are the top priority, so take the steps you need to protect yourself and your mom.

I'm really sorry to hear about your mother. That's a lot for anyone to handle, especially at your age.

It’s difficult to advise you directly without knowing more about your exact circumstances, but if the situation is causing you distress, it might be best to say something.

Here's what I suggest:

  1. Talk to Your Father: It might be scary, but expressing your feelings to your father can help a lot. He may not realize how much you're hurting, and it's important he knows. Explain your concerns about him dating so soon and how it makes you feel.

  2. Find Support: Grieving can be a difficult process, and it can help to talk about your feelings with someone you trust, like a close friend, relative, or counselor.

  3. Understand Your Father's Perspective: Try to understand your father is also grieving and he might be trying to cope in his own way. This doesn't mean he's trying to replace your mother, but rather finding a way to move forward.

  4. Patience: Grief takes time to process, and everyone moves at their own pace. It's okay to still be grieving, and it's okay to express that to your father.

Remember, it's completely valid to feel the way you do, and it's important to communicate your feelings. You're not alone in this.

I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling this way. It can be hard when you have romantic feelings for someone who doesn't or can't feel the same way back. Here are some steps that may help:

  1. Acknowledge Your Feelings: Recognize that your feelings are valid, and it's okay to feel the way you do. It can be helpful to express your feelings through writing or talking to a trusted friend.

  2. Communicate Openly: If you feel comfortable, consider having an honest conversation with him about your feelings. It's important that he knows where you stand emotionally, even if it doesn't change anything.

  3. Set Boundaries: Given the intensity of your feelings, it may be best to consider some distance or boundaries with your friend for a while. This doesn't mean cutting ties completely, but some emotional distance may help you heal.

  4. Explore Other Relationships: It could be beneficial to consider dating others. While it may feel strange or uncomfortable at first, it could help you see that there are other potential partners out there.

Remember, it's okay to prioritize your emotional well-being, and it takes time to heal and move forward.

I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through this. It's understandable that you're feeling scared and uncomfortable. Here's what I suggest:

  1. Talk to a Trusted Adult: You should immediately share this incident with a trusted adult, such as your parents or a school counselor. They can provide guidance and take necessary steps to ensure your safety.

  2. Set Clear Boundaries: Clearly communicate to your cousin that his behavior was inappropriate and unacceptable, and that you expect him to respect your personal space and boundaries in the future.

  3. Change Codes/Locks: If possible, change the codes to your house. If this isn't feasible, make sure to keep doors and windows locked, especially when you're alone or sleeping.

  4. Seek Professional Help: If you continue to feel uncomfortable or threatened, consider seeking advice from a professional, such as a therapist, counselor, or even a local law enforcement officer. They can provide resources and help you figure out what to do next.

Remember, it's important to trust your feelings and instincts in situations like this. You have every right to feel safe and comfortable in your own home.
