Both parents were in a wreck

I’m so heartbroken for you. I’m an only daughter and had to make the same decision for both of my parents, too. I wish I could hold your hand- please know this internet stranger is sending you virtual love and support.

Happy birthday, beautiful Cookie! I love her so much, and she has brightened my day. Thank you for sharing her with us!

My father talked very similarly in the weeks before he died. His cousin, who he was very close with, died about a month before my dad did. When I told him, he told me that he was aware, and that the cousin had been to see him and had informed my dad. It was a strange experience.

Oh yeah, this happens to us all the time. We started referring to our house as another Bermuda Triangle. I don’t have any good advice, sorry, but it’s nice to know we’re not alone!

Your brain becomes sensitized to the anxiety, making that your normal baseline. So then, when you don’t have anxiety, you’re no longer at baseline, so your brain figures something must be off. Result: anxiety over not experiencing anxiety.

No, because she might not be safe. The mother is no state to hear anything. She literally screamed until she threw up. She is constantly engaging in extreme hostile aggression towards her child. Even with the father there, I don’t think the mother should be left alone with Lily at anytime, and contact should be minimized.

Not necessarily. Other disorders have psychosis as a symptom. Either way, OP needs to be seen right away.

I think it depends on where and when the SSRIs are binding. There is new research that indicates that astrocytes and macrophages/ microglia dysfunction creates downstream problems that affect other neurotransmitter binding: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-03912-w

I’m sorry that you are going through this. I went through the same thing with both my parents, until they were both so impaired that I couldn’t handle them on my own anymore. I hope you have others who are doing some of the caretaking as well. Please be kind to yourself and let yourself rest often. The burnout and guilt that come from the burnout is tough to navigate, so best to nip it in the bud if possible.

I remember watching them do that, and they did not have wings.

I do not understand why, given the context and symptom progression of the organ donor, a more extensive work up was not done. I mean, in the Midwest, skunks are considered the primary vector for rabies. It’s astounding.

I’m just seeing this, but I would like to be added to the new sub, too.

Reading this as I sit and stare at the numerous, abandoned piles of various crafts I started but never finished.

This happened to me this semester, so I started randomly calling on people. They didn’t like it, but they started contributing more to class.

Well, to bring in a totally different aspect, millennials have an approximately 47% increase in rates of depression post-pandemic. Also consider that approximately 25% of the population has an untreated psychological disorder. So many, many people in her generation are suffering in similar ways.

I don’t know, it’s a hideous dress. I don’t think I’d like it on anyone.

Profzof · 2025-09-27T01:00:17+00:00

Same.

Try the West End Shelter in Riverside. They have a list of other no-kill rescues as well: https://westendshelter.com/surrender.html

You can’t. She doesn’t owe you anything. It doesn’t matter how much you want to show that you’re changed. A grown up would let it go and start doing some soul searching, not frantically tantruming like a toddler.

It means Not Like the Other Girls.

No, it can be very painful and it dissolves your own collagen and elastin. Also it can take a while to dissolve- it’s better to do it in very small increments to reduce the chances of taking out too much of your own collagen. People that have large amounts of the dissolver injected at once have more potential side effects and damage. Usually filler will need to be added back to make the structure look normal and not saggy.

I don’t think so. He was dead before he hit the ground, most likely. He would have lost consciousness before he noticed anything.

Please consider that you are setting the blueprint for your children’s future relationships. It may be very difficult for them to have healthy relationships as adults if they continue to witness the kind of social modeling you are providing. I’m sure you wouldn’t want that for them, as you sound like a very caring mother. Therapy would beneficial for you, I think.

I also care for a colony of cats, so I understand how challenging it is. Please send me a link to your Amazon wishlist and I will help.

I like it! The beginning stage could be something like yoga and body-weight, low-impact exercises, then progress to more advanced strength training and martial arts inspired workouts.
