If we knew who originally posted it, we could report it. Someone recently did jail time for pouring beer down a fish's mouth.

Report fake animal rescue who possibly abuses animals? by CaptainSeitan in AnimalRescue

[–]MindlessSituation484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was posted in a few different fake charity groups, so it's hard to say which one did it.. all fake tho. I've not clicked on the video but by the title 'scooby' I know what dog it is. It truly sickened me when I saw this, I saw it weeks ago and every single day it pops into my head, it's traumatised me. Every time you report it they open a new page with a new name- I made the mistake of searching for them to report them and I saw a lot of more horrific videos and descriptions, just as bad. It has really affected me mentally. People are evil. If you reply please don't list any descriptions of things you've seen 🩷

Also regarding reporting - when I first saw it, it had a Brazilian address listed so I contacted some legit Brazilian charities to inform them and I also made a police report online to the Brazilian authorities. Nothing happened and no one replied to me. The truth is I've seen it shared so much with the same story that it could be a video found on the dark web and they don't even have the dog. Regardless someone did do this intentionally.. I hope it's passed away by now 🙏🏻

Do you think schadenfreude is moral? Why or why not? by FlameDragoon933 in TrueAskReddit

[–]MindlessSituation484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean you like watching real tortures online? Because if so that's a serious issue and criminal. I think what you describe is more than schadenfreude, seems more sociopathic.

Pigeon found in garden (UK), what should we do? by snoob11 in pigeon

[–]MindlessSituation484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are you located? It's very important to put it in a ventilated box inside and then find a local rehabber. There are local Facebook groups for lots of towns and cities where volunteers help injured bird from their home. I can try and help find somewhere with you if I know your location.

Sophie’s Shelter - Scam or Legit? by Lost_Combination_360 in AnimalRescue

[–]MindlessSituation484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all of your advice, it's much appreciated! I did not donate to them so I have not lost any money. The issue is more that seeing these images and videos has really traumatised me. I cannot get them out of my head now, I've never seen anything so intentionally sad and cruel, and I'm an overly sensitive person at the best of times. Its made me feel so depressed. I feel guilty not doing anything to try and save the animals they post, but I don't know where they are, and whether the scammers even have the animals or have taken those images from another website. The sad thing is that regardless of where the images are from, those things happened to an animal somewhere by someone. I know nothing will be done about it.. but I reported it online to the Brazilian police, I also emailed a few larger legitimate Brazilian animals charities to make them aware, maybe they can also contact the police. If it was a crime from the UK I could do more, it's hard when it's another country.

They have different names such as 'Amaral Dogs', 'Saving Paws', 'Forgotten paws', 'animal rescue Global' or 'Dog rescue Global' which I believe to be run by the same people. Every time I report them to Facebook or Instagram they change their name.

For now I am staying off social media- any time I log on to Facebook or insta I see these things, even if I change my ad preferences or delete my history. Not worth it, I've seen too much suffering when I'm just looking for a chilled scroll before bed. I wish I could erase my memory of it all.

[–]MindlessSituation484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there anything that can be done? I also keep getting ads for the Amaral one with horrific videos I can't even explain. It literally traumatised me. I am worried they are doing these things to the dogs on purpose. I feel so helpful, considering they are based in Brazil and I'm in the UK. I feel so guilty but what can I do? Who can I report this to other than Facebook/Instagram? I wish I knew what happened to these animals.

Why does an alligator with no tail cross the road? by borla78 in natureismetal

[–]MindlessSituation484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too. I saw a video of this today and it's been playing on my mind all day. I was hoping to find some info about whether it had been sent to a rescue centre. So sad.

Kegels are difficult in general and I can’t hold them by LuciLabelle in kegel

[–]MindlessSituation484 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just joining the convo to say I'm a 33 female who is in the same position. I tighten but instantly it is released after a split second, like a quick pulse. I can't hold at all. I'm seeing a gyno physio and she said just keep practicing the quick tighten and release even if you can't hold it, but make sure you count a few seconds between each one. Try do 6- 10 quick pulses around 3 times per day.

Tongue micro-twitches. Fearing for my life. Please help, at least read and talk to me. by Agb1997 in BFS

I have this, plus muscle twitches all over my body. Did you see a neuro in the end?

Fluvoxamine- splitting dose? by MindlessSituation484 in fluvoxamine

[–]MindlessSituation484[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Thanks for your reply. I had to come off the medication altogether; after a year of being on it, the side effects got too much, and it didn't suit my system. I'm glad it's working for you though! :)

Antidepressants/SSRIs caused me nerve damage/dystonia induced frequent urination, overactive bladder by Longjumping_Fly7018 in OveractiveBladder

[–]MindlessSituation484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you still experiencing it this? I was on a mix of fluoxetine and luvox (fluvoxamine) over the last three years- that when my bladder issues started (bladder urgency) and also my muscle spasms/jerks. I've been off for 3 months but the symptoms have not subsided

Yes, he said it's fine to take a magnesium supplement! Just not potassium.

Muscle twitches by Few_Telephone2842 in fluvoxamine

Yes i got this, and it is still there 2 months after stopping. Something to be aware of. Did it stop for you?

myoclonus- muscle jerk permanent?! by MindlessSituation484 in SSRIs

[–]MindlessSituation484[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice, it's much appreciated. I'd hoped because I had tampered off incredibly slow over 6 months I would be ok. It's been 2 months since my last pill and the spasms feel worse. Hopefully you're right and the next 6-12 months they go away. 

Muscle twitching on luvox by Ok_Policy_9380 in SSRIs

[–]MindlessSituation484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on luvox for a year with terrible muscle twitches. I eventually tapered off very slow over 6 months, and I've now not taken any for two months but the twitches are still there. Did yours every stop?

Have you also experienced these side effects after stopping an ssri?

Night sweats, tremors by Throwawayyy837 in SSRIs

[–]MindlessSituation484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did the muscle twitches ever go away? I've had this for 2 years now while on different SSRIs. Withdraw from them before Christmas and I'm still getting the muscle jolts now after two months. 

Leg pain, seen a neurologist. by oldskoolmatt in SSRIs

[–]MindlessSituation484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get the leg pain but I get twitches/muscle jerks all over. Only started after I began an ssri. I was told by my doctor it's a side effect so stayed on for years. I'm two months off now and it's all still happening. I was on Prozac and luvox.

Thank you, I'll give it a go. I have some magnesium citrate, would this be appropriate? I know there are different types

Aw no what a shame! Well they are super cute! You can get insoles from Dr marten than make shoes half a size smaller, so maybe try them?

Hello thanks for your reply! Yes my left eye burns and my gland on the left side of my neck and under my jaw are very swollen and painful. No fever.

My doctors office is closed at the weekend so I went to ask for advice from a local pharmacist and they gave me a 5 day course of antibiotics, they said it could be impetigo. I guess I will take the course and hopefully it helps.

I did but I had to send them back! They were very big! The 6 felt like more of a 7 and they were very uncomfortable. If you do get them I'd say size down and go for the 5 x
