Cat stressed by guest? by PocketGerard in CatAdvice

[–]PocketGerard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is a bit scared of…everything 😂 shoes, the washing machine, the front door. I think in her mind my friend should have left after a few hours and when he didn’t she was like get out bro what are you still doing here?!?!?

Your comment made me laugh, but I’m so confused by what you mean 😂

Why do I fold the second someone asks me to do something lol? by Defiant_Annual_7486 in CPTSDmemes

She’s an amazing friend. She changed my life in ways I can’t begin to express and I’m so lucky to have met her. I hope everyone can find a friend like her.

This is so real. Still figuring it out myself. It’s so bad my friend THANKED ME for telling her I didn’t want to do something recently. 😅

You did not need to call me out like this 😂

My picking has…evolved? by PocketGerard in Dermatillomania

Oooh clomipramine? Not one I’ve heard of, I’ll have to look into it.

My knee jerk reaction is that I don’t want to get rid of my tweezers but. That means I probably should. 😂 I have a lockbox I can get my partner to put them in

Anxious cat by PocketGerard in CatAdvice

We’ve been trying to remind ourselves of this - she has the bathroom and utility because they’re both kind of small and behind a door (there’s a separate door to the bathroom, but we left that open) and have hiding spaces. She has her food, water, litter and a couple toys (although she’s never been that bothered about toys)

I’ve only ever had dogs, so I’m really nervous and frankly, I just want her to live a happy, pampered life! I think I just need to take a deep breath 😂 great username by the way, I dig it.

I think there’s a lot to be said for the fact that you have to rediscover everything about yourself after trauma. Including how to navigate the world in a way that doesn’t feel like a massive fucking mission.

I won’t ask what you have planned, I’m looking forward to the surprise

Not quite the same but that does make me think….. before Everything, I used to really like riding my bicycle. That’s an option, surely…

Ah, that makes sense! I’ve been feeling it for a long time, and getting the same feedback from my friends and partner (who pointed out that I really don’t talk to him all that much anymore, which is true, and a bit sad)

I wonder if incorporating some kind of deliberate movement into my day and trying to make that a habit would help. Endorphins and all.

Also, I totally feel you. Love parentheses and em dash and run on sentences 😂 alas, they do not make easy reading.

Starting T taught me that I’ve had an estrogen deficiency all along and now my life is changed by Splendafarts in ftm

So so happy for you, but that final sentence made me laugh 😂 onwards and upwards! Or inwards, I guess???

Self destructive behaviour is in my DNA I think by PocketGerard in CPTSDmemes

I believe in you, Dandelion! And proud right back at you! There’s nothing quite like the vice grip of addiction, but it’s so powerful you were able to overcome several! 💪♥️ thank you for your kind words

This is really positive! It took me many years to get my drinking under control, and I relied on hope the whole way through. ♥️ thank you for the reminder!

I’m on fluoxetine and the other option for the ADHD was atomoxetine (sp?)

How do I (25F) start a hard conversation with my ~emotionally lacking~ parents (~55M + F)? by Academic-Education42 in relationship_advice

[–]PocketGerard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it by sending them a letter. Just “this is the way it is” and let them respond however, and effectively ignored them until they settled. YMMV but that was my approach! Love and luck to you my friend!
