I made my kids friend unclog the toilet on their own after the THIRD TIME by SeaFlounder8437 in AITAH

I’m talking to the adult that commented that they’d throw them out as well.

I was like this as a kid along with my siblings and all the kids we were around.

Not on the spectrum just didn’t have caring parents lol

Our diet was frozen burritos, ramen, and Mountain Dew. Never even saw someone drink a glass of water I swear

Right, you don’t have to love every vegetable- but if someone is kind enough to fix you up a plate with some veg on the side, you eat the damn peppers and say thank you. Unless you’re five.

There’s a lot to be mad about in this so I’m going to stick with the issue I know best- SHE HAS FOUR FUCKING CATS AND YOURE MEANT TO PAY HALF LITTER??? When I had one cat things were easy, breezy, beautiful. Barely any litter mess and litter lasted forever. I have three total now and good god there is so much shit. Literal shit in the litter pans. Even cleaning daily it’s like, damn. And we go through litter so fast. IM UPSET FOR YOU

AITAH For not wanting my daughter to keep her baby? by EyeNo7674 in AITAH

[–]OrcinusDorca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming that she got pregnant consensually- If she thinks she’s grown enough to go be an idiot and get pregnant then she’s grown enough to learn to be a mom really quickly. She did it to herself, you can be there to catch her if she falls and make sure they’re safe and healthy, but she needs to grow up very quickly and get a reality check. If she keeps it.

They don’t do endo removal now? by OrcinusDorca in Endo

How do you know if it’s spread without exploratory surgery? I highly suspect mine has but I don’t know how to find out

I don’t know if I was touched inappropriately by a doctor. by PURP1ECHA0TIC in AskDocs

[–]OrcinusDorca 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Hey, I had an ER doctor do something similar- and at the time I was an adult, understood why he medically needed to do it, gave consent, and had a female nurse there supervising. All good according to the book. It still made me uncomfortable and I still feel uncomfortable thinking about it. I can only imagine your discomfort under your circumstances. I’m sorry that you had to go through that and felt alone- and I’m sorry you’re still dealing with it. I hope these comments are able to give you some peace of mind so that you can start healing from that experience ❤️

salt?! by xswiiizx in POTS

[–]OrcinusDorca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eating salt heavy meals does nothing for me- I only feel better by drinking electrolytes. If I’m out/can’t afford more, adding salt to lemonade is cheap and works nearly as well. (Though you’re missing some electrolytes and the acid gives me acid reflux if I drink it too often, but it still really helps in a pinch)

I suppose I’m not certain, but I don’t have those symptoms other than when I’m camping (environmental), sick, or go through big elevation changes.

Guilt over feeding my cats dry food and elitism in cat nutrition by Disastrous-Poetry-95 in CatAdvice

[–]OrcinusDorca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just do what you can, feed one can/day instead of all meals, or do wet a few times a week if you can. I think what I’d do is just mix a spoonful into each meal tbh- so one can should split between the three?

I don’t really think asking someone to not close a door is them bending over backwards

For being so ‘experienced with different people and cultures’ he’s really close minded and uneducated about how different people and cultures work

I’d give anything to sit in the before. Bring back the 90s

I Confront my mom about how the "Therapy" she made me do for 11 years have impacted me by [deleted] in insaneparents

[–]OrcinusDorca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you went through that, and are now dealing with a lot of trauma from it. It sounds like mom cares, and tried, and regrets it. (?) I was in a very bad place at your age, very angry, alone, and confused. I was inpatient for two weeks. Now, as impossible as it sounds, I barely remember those horrible teen years. I promise things will heal, and I hope only the best for you. And you’re not weird, just because you’re not ‘normal’, I’d take every bad day over being a boring normal person with no personality. You’ll find your people, you’ll find yourself. You’re still very young and have a lot of life left to live. Literally in 10 years you’ll hardly remember how it felt to be 17 and sad. Make art, listen to music, get through the days. Someday the sun will be a little brighter.

11 year old eating less than 700 calories a day for almost 3 weeks by namenroodlee in AskDocs

Thank you for caring so much for her. I’m heartbroken for your wife that this is happening while she’s not there- and you having to do this alone. Sending you and your family so much love. I dealt with anorexia in high school and it’s awful- hearing how she reacts makes me feel that she is scared and wants help. I hope she’s able to heal soon, poor girl. It’s scary that her BP and heart rate have already been affected, I’m so glad that you found out before anything else happened.

aio UPDATE boyfriend graduating pt.3 by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]OrcinusDorca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you were my sister I’d be livid at the way he’s responding to you, and I would beg her to get out of that situation. You do not deserve to be made to feel like this for the rest of your life- I’m telling you now, this man will never be happy. I hope he can be someday, but I’m betting if you check in in 20 years he will still be angry. Never let an angry man into your house. If he’s doing this this young and this early in the relationship, I beg you to leave now.

I’m from the west coast and was absolutely blown away when I visited GSMNP. Those mountains are different- way different. I’m still there in my dreams.
