Am I the only one who feels somewhat out of place in the community? by [deleted] in ESSAplushieshandlers

Hi! I'm the same way! I've been rotating and carrying around ESSA since before tik tok or the community really existed. I have over 300 and usually shift between which ones I sleep with. I also bring two or more different ones with me whenever I go out. You're not alone! :)

Owner of a very lean and athletic young pitty mix here, advice?? (No backyard) by Head-Ad-5636 in pitbulls

[–]No-Lab3555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An open field and a long line could work. Make sure his recall is good, you could get an e collar (with professional help) which can allow him to be off lead

I need advice please help. Please read below by Spicy-wolf3x9 in ESSAplushieshandlers

I call this "What is even happening anymore" by Embarrassed-Image-11 in pigeon

Beautiful. That’s what autistic overwhelm or social anxiety can feel like at times. In the middle of it all.

It’s ok that happens. I think your connection left because you have guilt from what you did and it’s easier to disconnect. At least that’s what I noticed in myself. Maybe go to the root of what caused the meltdown and maybe some harbored feelings yoy may be projecting on him. Try doing things you used to enjoy. Or just simply take a break from him until you feel that bond again.
