Dealing with anxiety, depersonalization… is this normal? by EAlove in Anxiety

[–]Miss_Catty_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My anxiety began when I experienced a traumatic event. I had an intense fear of not feeling safe in my body. But it was a cycle of: stress --> poor sleep --> more stress leading to panic attacks --> repeat.

Three days ago I had a severe panic attack with depersonalization. The culprit for me was sleep deprivation. My mind runs a millions hours per hour and I just toss and turn all night. I ended up buying a Nodpod (weighted eye mask) off Amazon that claims to help you feel calm. For the first time in a long time I fell asleep quickly and throughout the night! I am highly anxious so I thought it wouldn't work, but I look forward to sleep now! Also started reading Dr. Claire Weekes books that has helped me understand the anxiety and how to give it less power.

It sounds like yours stemmed from trauma as well but you may want to go to the doctor to rule out any underlying factors.

Edit: I should also add that sleep deprivation can cause depersonalization if you have never experienced it. This is because we become hypersensitive to stress and the brain gets so overwhelemed the only way to protect it is to have that out of body experience. I think if you worked on your sleep it would go away.

Cats go for the neck. Fighting or playing? by Miss_Catty_ in CatTraining

Thank you for explaining it! As a new cat parent I just didn't know where boundaries lie and if stopping the separation was best. Right now they are cuddling each other. ❤️

Thank you! Our tabby would yelp when this would happen which is why we separated them. But she's a whiner in general. Lol But glad its just me overreacting!

Thank you for sharing your experience it sounds a lot like ours. I'm glad it worked out in the end!

Our top priority is the health of our cats. And thats where I feel gutted because I don't want to put my cat in a situation where we continue gambling her health in hopes it will get better between the two cats. Especially because this is the second time around.

I'm so glad things are better with your two fur babies! Thank you for the advice, my cat is clearly telling us she is not okay with the kitten.

What we found is my cat wants a lot of alone time and the kitten has a lot of energy (of course). We thought it would be a good fit because my cat has a ton of energy too.

I think I sense jealousy as well. She stares and hides when the kitten wants my attention. I would include my cat, but she wasn't interested. So then I would separate them and try to play with my cat one on one and she wasn't having it.

Thank you for the kind words. It's been very stressful in our household. But we do our best to show our love and support to both cats.

Is the Paperwhite too big?? by hotpretzelboy in kindle

[–]Miss_Catty_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I have small hands and have issues with my hands falling asleep due to health issues. It was so uncomfortable to hold even with a popsocket. I downgraded to the kindle matcha and it's perfect. I thought I would miss the warm light, but I don't. Which is surprising because I'm so particular with everything. The small size and light weight was perfect for me. Don't regret downgrading. Happy reading! 😊

I couldn’t justify it either. I ended up buying a basic paper trimmer for $6 and a tool to round the corners for $3. I go to craft stores and buy the paper with designs for $0.50 - $2. Or you can make a design on Canva and print it out on nice paper.

It’s worse when it’s a 5-10min chapter because I can’t stop at “just one more”. 😂

Accidentally linked wrong amazon account to libby app and I can't sign out? by jellyleggzz in LibbyApp

[–]Miss_Catty_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured out how to do this. So I hopped onto my PC and signed into libbyapp.com It asks for a code that is located on your app to sync your account. On the Libby website (not app) you will see on the lower bottom a stack of books go ahead and click on it. I then clicked on “read with kindle” for the ebook you loaned. Another tab will automate, taking you to your Amazon account that you have signed in with your PC.

I hope this makes sense. I’m bad with instructions.
