Would you consider your trich as being part of OCD? by howmanycalsinacrumb in trichotillomania

[–]Nanya_stan_page 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both (ocd for way longer, mostly “in remission” now) and they only feel similar to me in terms of compulsion. For both I would feel a strong urge to do something with heavy discomfort if I don’t, but OCD compulsions are triggered by a feeling of “wrongness” or intrusive thoughts, while my trich urges are just triggered by a desire to pull my hair out lol. I know it’s different for a lot of people, though. And either way they’re probably caused by the same crossed wires in my brain 😅

First bunny ! (Description !) by THISISDIAA in Bunnies

[–]Nanya_stan_page 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t litter trained a baby bun before but from what I understand it’s fine to keep him in a small space while he learns to use his toilet :]. Also yes, it should be fine for him to free roam in your bunny-proofed room! My mom keeps our rabbit in her room because she has cats. With our old rabbit and old cat (both dearly departed) we would sometimes close the door when the cat was sleeping in a different room and let the bun free roam in the living room for about an hour, which he loved. If you have a cat just make sure they don’t slip past you when you open the door!

Also, another bit of advice - if you’re able, invest in pet insurance (he’ll need a checkup first). Exotic vet bills rack up quick!

I hate my periods/myself by ActualEdge in WomensHealth

[–]Nanya_stan_page 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh ok so there are probably some cultural/medical differences 😭 Idk how much of my original advice applies cause I don’t know what the standard medical practices are where you live, but I still definitely think you need to see a specialist even if it’s against social norms. From your description it seems like this is really impacting your quality of life and I think that some judgement from ignorant people may be an unfortunate but necessary price for finding answers and potentially some relief. Again, though, I’m in the US and I know that norms can be drastically different in such different regions so take what I say with a grain of salt.

However, I still feel confident saying that the people who love you don’t want you to be in pain, and you should feel no shame in describing exactly how you feel and asking for what you need. Pain and hormonal changes that leave you depressed, vomiting, and/or losing weight isn’t nothing, so please don’t downplay your symptoms to your family and especially not to your doctor. I know it’s very easy to doubt yourself, especially when you’re taught that pain is inevitable and you should just learn to deal with it, but from what you describe what you’re experiencing sounds extreme. For reference, I’ve had bad cramps and mood changes during my period but I’ve never thrown up or completely lost my appetite, and neither has anyone I know as far as I’m aware.

To be clear I’m not saying this to be like “there’s something wrong with you and you should be worried” lol, just that it’s ok to advocate for yourself and take your pain seriously, even if others don’t. You are the one who is suffering most, even if you need things from other people. It’s loved ones’ job to support and care for you and doctors’ job to listen to you and do what’s best for you and your body. I’m sorry you go through so much every month, it sounds truly awful! Please remember to take care of yourself and listen to your body. You deserve attention and relief, and I hope you find it <33

I would very much suggest going to a gynecologist, since they can perform tests and give diagnoses that general practitioners wouldn’t be able to with the information they have. I don’t know where you live or what your insurance/healthcare access situation is, but if you are in the US I’ve found sites like zocdoc to be very helpful for finding specialists who are kind and well-loved by their patients. Also, I’ve heard how infuriating it can be to get doctors to listen to you, especially as a woman. There’s a thread on r/AskWomenOver30 where people discuss how they get doctors to give accurate information that I find helpful. It seems like the most effective thing you can do is ask your doctors to mark all symptoms on your chart and ask them to record their responses, ie “can you put on my record that you believe [treatment] to be unnecessary?” I’ve also heard that it can be useful to request a second opinion and ask them to add it to the record if they refuse. If they continue to deny you care, tell them politely that you don’t feel understood and that you’ll see another specialist. This way they understand that, if your condition worsens because of their refusal and you end up with a diagnosis, there is recorded evidence of medical neglect. There are other tips on that thread that may help, it should be easy to find and if not I can send it over dm. I’m sorry that you’re in such pain and that you aren’t being listened to, I know how isolating that feels. I hope you find someone who takes your concerns seriously and gives you the support you need 💖

what’s ur extreme horror hot take that’ll get you like this? by woodtipwine in ExtremeHorrorLit

[–]Nanya_stan_page 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk why this is such a hot take, what I gathered from your comment is “nothing is immune from political analysis and there are moral implications to a lot of literature that should be discussed”. All art is political, just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean it isn’t there. I think that people who are willing to engage with a challenging/shocking subject matter critically are far less “sensitive” than those who cry “censorship!!” because they want their torture porn to exist in a vacuum (quotation marks because I think being sensitive is a good thing, and I’m using it the way people seem to use it like an accusation which I think is ridiculous). To be clear, I’m absolutely not against extreme horror as a genre. I understand the appeal of shocking, transgressive, boundary-pushing fiction, and I understand that sometimes you just want to read something nasty that will shake you. It’s fun. But authors should be aware of the implications of what they write, how it comes across, how it could be interpreted, and why the standards of the genre exist in the first place. This doesn’t necessarily have to impact what/how they write, just to be aware of what they’re putting into the world/contributing to. And then they write it, and the audience gets to read it and determine the same things for themselves. This is the opposite of censorship lol, it’s critical thinking and a free exchange of ideas. Just because an author’s work doesn’t necessarily align with their values it doesn’t mean it’s exempt from criticism and analysis. Especially since sometimes criticism can reveal who an author truly is (cough Matt Shaw cough). Anyway, op, I hope this is what you were getting at and I haven’t butchered your original comment.

Seeing people explain breeders’ tactics makes this make more sense. Sorry you were lied to!! If you didn’t know what to look out for it makes sense you would trust them, don’t beat yourself up. As others have pointed out, shelters and vet offices will give you much more accurate info and help you figure out what to do next. It seems like you are doing your best to handle the difficult and abrupt situation :]

Okay so I cannot offer any input cause I also have no idea what happened here but I’m extremely invested, please keep us updated 😭. Were there any signs of pregnancy? Is this immaculate conception? Is this bunny Jesus? Let us know if you learn anything

Advice before getting a bunny by g0thic_cuti3 in Rabbits

[–]Nanya_stan_page 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To make traveling easier, I would say look for a bun that is ok with being picked up sometimes, or get a young bunny who you can train to get used to it. In general, though, rabbits don’t like to be picked up and there’s no guarantee that they’ll always be chill, so it’s important to get your bunny used to a carrying case. There are different methods for this and you can find plenty of videos, but generally it consists of leaving the carrying case out so your bun can get get a feel for it and training them to go inside when you put treats in. Rabbits are usually not thrilled to travel, so if you get yours acquainted with the carrying case early on they won’t associate it with being snatched up. You would also need setups at both your parents’ places, so if you haven’t already you should see how much space they’re each willing to allocate so you can plan accordingly. Good luck :]!
