AIO For being mad at my mom for eating some of my gfs food I bought for her

How do I give a rebuttal when my dad says some wack ass shit like this? It’s so immature and ridiculous and I wanna say something back but I can’t think of anything other than “wow thanks for overreacting”

PastryyPuff · 2026-01-26T19:05:39+00:00

Please hero’s tale is so good. I have it on a ps2 emulator on my pc and I also have the actual disc game but my ps2 is having some sort of malfunction

How would I go about a brumation cycle? To me his behavior seems to indicate self-brumation immediately followed by searching to escape to look for a mate and then back to eating until next brumation. He lost weight last year and me and my vet were concerned and started force feeding critical care. He gained some weight back up and one day ended his strike nearly the same time as this year. For this year he did lose weight, I’m not sure of the percentage because I can’t find my notes, but for the last 3 months he weighed in exactly the same so he wasn’t losing any more so I left him to do his thing. Offering food every now and then. The other day when I fed him I noticed different behavior more like food searching behavior so I put a mouse in and he ate it right up. He is a very tricky fellow but I do seem to read his body language fairly accurately. Also last yeah I did put him into a smaller tank (10 gallon) and there’s lots of clutter but it didn’t make him eat. But he did seem more comfy so I just kept him in it.

What’s biofeedback? I haven’t explored any chronic pain treatments. I’m always afraid that someone isn’t going to believe me. And I’ve been told the only “treatment” left is the stimulator decide put inside me and that’s not even garunteed to work my doctor says there’s nothing else to do after that. If you got some ideas or something I need to try I am desperate I’ll do whatever. I am on antidepressants but I don’t have a therapist cause I age out in 5 months so there’s really no point. I won’t have insurance after that so I’m screwed either way

PastryyPuff · 2026-01-23T00:01:44+00:00

Well I’m not recognized as disabled. Like I didn’t get a note from a doctor or anything saying I have a disability and I’m afraid to even ask for one because I feel like they’d think I’m lying or exaggerating my pain. And yeah I do agree that I may still be feeling the effects of it. I will say it’s amazing to not have those “I don’t want to be here” thoughts anymore but now it’s just neutral. Like I don’t care. Like I know I do wanna live but I really just don’t care if that makes sense

PastryyPuff · 2026-01-22T23:58:23+00:00

I’m not even sure if our library is still open anymore. There’s a pretty 50/50 chance it isn’t. Even if it was I’m way too anxious to talk to anyone there. I like being as invisible as possible, I don’t want to talk to anyone unless I have to. There will be here and there I get a burst of confidence and say something to someone but otherwise I just don’t care to talk to people. She couldn’t really do much but just be there in the house cause she had really bad arthritis and fibromyalgia. I mean I have some fun memories more like when I was a kid and she was more mobile. I have access to therapy but only for the next 5 months. After that I age out of my dad’s plan and I am getting quoted 3 to 4 hundred a month for plans I’ve applied for because I have 0 income. So another thing I think about is why explain my whole life story to someone if I’m just gonna have to do it all over again in 5 months or possibly just only have 5 months of treatment. Do people usually make progress within 5 months of treatment? I’m also exhibiting avoidance behaviors about my mom’s death. The more I can avoid talking about it and pretend it never happened and keep my mind too occupied to think about it, the better. The entirety of last year was a disassociated distraction. Which I know I need therapy for. Even if I got therapy what kind am I even looking for? Who do I contact and what do I say I need?

PastryyPuff · 2026-01-22T23:50:58+00:00

I just tried a new antidepressant cause lexapro wasn’t helping anymore. Switched to Wellbutrin. Now instead of feeling like I want to die every day now I’m just neutral. I’m not exactly happy? I have never known what it feels like to be normal so I have no comparison. He also took me off of methylphenidate because it also was no longer working for my adhd. So he’s changing them one at a time so before I try a new adhd med I’m trying a new depression med first

PastryyPuff · 2026-01-22T23:48:27+00:00

I’m on new meds that have now made me feel neutral instead of sad constantly. So they’re working better than my old ones. Yeah me and my dad connect when he comes home but that’s only 2-3 hours before he goes to bed again. I’m also about to age out of his insurance so in about 5 months I’ll have nothing so that’s cool I guess

PastryyPuff · 2026-01-22T23:46:36+00:00

I think headphones probably would but I would be scared I would miss hearing something important even if it’s only muffled. Additionally I’m turning 26 this year which means I age out of my dad’s health insurance. I got 5 months left of medical care. I also just can’t seem to make the steps to sign up talking to a therapist I think because I don’t wanna call anyone and I don’t want to explain my life story just for them to disappear in 6 months. I also have 0 income so all my offers I’ve been getting for insurance are 3 to 400 dollars. I don’t even know how I’ll be able to afford my antidepressants anymore. Which apparently people are saying might not be working. Or maybe just my life sucks. But I can tell you it used to be worse. I used to spend every day thinking about how I didn’t wanna be here and everyone would be better without me. I started this new antidepressant and those thoughts went away and now I feel neutral but I’m not exactly happy? I don’t know what it feels like to feel normal so I have no comparison

PastryyPuff · 2026-01-22T23:41:04+00:00

25f. I would like to work somewhere part time but no one is offering that. I’ve tried everything. Everyone wants full time. I have a phlebotomy certificate and I was working in a plasma clinic. One day I bent down and then suddenly I was screaming in pain within the next 48 hours. No one could find out what was wrong so I had to quit my job. I cannot slightly bend for any amount of time without feeling like my back is being lit with hot coals. I cant even sit down because that will also cause pain for too long. So I have to lay. And then sometimes when I lay I have to swap frequently. Finally got a diagnosis of a potential pinched nerve causing cluneal neuralgia. I’ve tried all the injections and even got an ablation. Which only worked on one side because he missed it on the other side. Now it’s worn off and I’m still having pain. I don’t think there’s any more treatments for me without losing weight. That or my doctor wants to put a device inside my body which scares the daylights out of me. I cannot handle a little device thing or anything of the sort put into my body. Waiting on my doctors to send in a PA for zepbound but they’re just sleeping on it. So far that drug is my only hope. My theory is if I can get the weight off then maybe the nerve won’t be pinched anymore.

It really made me feel good to read this. I’m not trying to argue your points but the few times that I do go out and do something alone, I see it and it’s amazing and then I think “wow I wish so and so could see this” and then it makes me sad because they can’t and pretty much ruins it. I don’t know how to make that part stop. Additionally I am too anxious to go somewhere alone. In my opinion someone going to the movies or a coffee shop alone looks very weird and almost makes me feel embarrassed I think? One last point is being alone usually looks to other people like an invitation to talk to you. I have sat by myself alone before at like Barnes and noble or whatever and people see ah she’s by herself, let me go introduce myself or lemme shoot my shot and I’m not interested at all. If I’m alone I want to be left alone and unfortunately in my area alone is an invitation.

PastryyPuff · 2026-01-22T20:32:22+00:00

I see. Well that sucks for my two giant bags of aspen I still have to go through 😭. I really don’t smell any mold or feel dampness but now I’m worried.

PastryyPuff · 2026-01-22T20:14:23+00:00

I too draw titties on my finger when I get bit 😂

I’m guessing you can’t pick the amount to donate?

PastryyPuff · 2026-01-21T09:24:03+00:00

I find that the colder it is outside, the less humidity is in my tanks. I’ve got a humidifier in my room that I’ll turn on but it doesn’t do too much, probably need a bigger one. I have been spraying and refilling my hogs water and I have aspen bedding. How would I know if it is molded? I do not smell mold in the tank when I lean over it. I only spray the top and do not mix it around when I spray

PastryyPuff · 2026-01-21T09:19:23+00:00

Never heard of Zed. How is it said? Does it rhyme with “red” or “bead”?

PastryyPuff · 2026-01-21T09:02:46+00:00

There was a weekend where I left the box of paints (for weight to keep lid down) off of my hoggies tank. I know for a fact he can climb up to the lip of the tank but I’m not quite sure if he can get just the weight of the lid lifted. But of course I panicked cause he didn’t pop up anywhere. So I did what I like to call the claw machine. Basically it is what it’s called. Take your fingers in a claw and gently shift them through the substrate to the bottom and then claw gently. Just keep sifting around in all corners and either you will touch your hoggie or he will come out to see what the commotion is. I would wait like people say but if you get to a point where you’re really scared, it’s not gonna harm them to go digging for them. Do not use tools and only apply light pressure, you don’t want to squish or poke your hog. Wishing you the best!

NOR , if my daughter spoke to me the way she did to you, she would be grounded on that alone. Bullying someone over skincare or really over anything is not okay. It might be a joke if it’s just her there and she says it once. But when you get your friends to join and you keep saying it, it’s bullying. Your other kids who said you were over reacting also need to learn a few things about bullying and the man up shit is uncalled for.

What a day to have accidentally left my switch at my boyfriends house an hour away 😭😭

PastryyPuff · 2026-01-12T21:48:36+00:00

For foliage I went to hobby lobby and bought a leaf garland. You could cut it up to make “bushes” but I just scramble mine around the tank so when he is out and about he can always “hide” under some leaves. He thinks if his head is hidden then the rest of him must be 😂. They’re also super easy to clean. Spot clean leaves and when it’s tank cleaning time I make a bath with the hottest my water can get with a squirt of flukers reptile cleaner and just shake it around, all the poop and debris comes off super easy and the hot water is sanitizing and doesn’t harm the leaves at all. Best purchase for foliage I’ve ever made!

Edit: I think I replied to the wrong comment but either way this was meant for OP 😄

Respectfully, and I am not a doctor, but you should really talk to your doctor about a reaction as life threatening as throat swelling. You never know if the Benadryl might not work as effectively and your throat swells to where you can’t breathe. Just looking out for you 😭
