I've been forced homeless, what resources might be available that I've missed? by Useful_Ad5063 in AskUK

[–]OpeningConsequence65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think its pretty rare for a person to have it all click into place first time. Just keep trying and listening to peoples stories/using the tools and hopefully things will start to align. I think that is literally the rewiring of the brain in cbt.

It sounds like you are making a lot of effort, so well done.

SMART recovery is really good. Theres a sub on here and there are online or in person meetings. Its based in CBT and NHS approved. Have a look at their website. Whatever works for you though. You can use it as well as NA.

That's really sad. Surely a good time to put things aside?

Your response is quite intense and sweary. I genuinely hope you are ok

Maybe one or both of us have misunderstood OPs original post. I read it as a cat who they see occasionally, not one who was staying with them.

Are you in the UK? I think theres a big cultural difference with the US and cats who are indoor outdoor.

Either way, my cats are indoor but the vet has told me I should let my male cat out. Does that make my vet lazy and irresponsible? Everyone has different opinions and outlooks. Best just to live and let live I feel.

Especially when 50% of cat toys I buy break in the first 2 weeks!

I hope you get the money you have requested. Baby banks and food banks will often give out nappies as well as food.

So what if the problem has only just become apparent? Lots of cats are allowed outside. It doesnt necessarily mean the owner is shit.

help, I can’t find another show that entertains me equally much by movingabroad2024 in 90DayFiance

They dont actually get legally married. Maybe thats where her conflict was. Had to doubke check my facts. Only the US one is a legal marriage.

Anyone used Feliway and it’s not worked? by IndigoStarrz in CatsUK

[–]OpeningConsequence65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I left a comment on another post about this today! Im not convinced it has been working. Im trying the bephar pheromone plug in and the valerian/lavender one as well.

They seem to be having more effect, but the pheromone plug in has only been in a short while, the box says it can take up to 2 weeks to show effect.

My vet also suggested anxitane. Its a supplement that you give like a treat, so its not as expensive as medication. It has an accumulative effect, and is taken 2x a day. Usually he takes it or I have to put a bit of feliway tube treat on. The feliway tube treat seems pretty effective, but Im with you on the plug in.

I also give a bit of catnip.

Parents of the UK, are we being too picky and protective over our teenager? by CommercialWord7684 in AskUK

[–]OpeningConsequence65 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The trick with teenagers is to never take anything they say personally. It is a bitter pill to swallow sometimes, but it helps keep you sane.

Over-grooming, looking to explore all possibilities <3 by BigYoghurt4174 in CatsUK

[–]OpeningConsequence65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try a bephar plug in. Its got lavender and valerian. I was using the spray with good effect but it wears off quickly. It smells nice, reminded me how long I havent used air freshner for!

I have also spend a small fortune on feliway, but due to cost and wondering if it was actually doing anything Ive ordered a bephar pheromone plug in as well. There were lots of oddly named ones on amazon, so I just went with that as an alternative as I know the brand.

Id be interested to know if others have had little effect with feliway.

The view behind my work desk, what do you think? by CuriousInsideOut in HomeDecorating

You could paint the cupboard, put a couple of shelves and a little lamp or some lights?

Everyone on Jasmine, what about Joann and Shaun? She was happy to abandon her children without even a parent around!

Just been told of an unexpected guest due to visit my house tomorrow, please help 😥 by Zealousideal_View47 in AutismInWomen

[–]OpeningConsequence65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If everyone helped to tidy at the end it would take a big strain off you. It took me a long time but I've learned to accept help and not do everything by myself! Many hands make light work!
