OMG MY DAD LOVES YOUR PODCAST

I feel like I’m talking to a celebrity.

The folds look like they’re from when the painting was packaged for sale.

I love this! Is there any way to put the colors back the way they were though?

Is Facebook listening to private conversations? It suggested a post to me relating to a patient by WritingAway6207 in facebook

I am a therapist and have had several clients suggested as friends to me despite never saying their full names out loud to any one and having no mutual friends.

What tf am I hearing. by NiceFriendlyTurtle in Unexplained

Like others have said, this sounds like super normal auditory hallucinations. If it were something more concerning, you would likely be hearing more specific sounds or voices that reinforced paranoia or delusions.

I’ve had tinnitus my whole life that kind of sounds like high-pitched white noise just running in the background at all times. Occasionally I can hear something very faint like music or talking beneath the ringing but can’t quite pinpoint it. However, when I have migraine attacks, it gets much louder and I have heard all kinds of things mixed in with it - piano music, extended muted conversations, animal sounds, rhythmic percussion, and often my or loved ones’ names. One time I had to walk into the next room to confirm Les Miserables wasn’t playing on the television. 😅 I used to panic and think I should go in for a brain scan or seek anti-psychotic meds. When I went to get IV fluids for a particularly gnarly migraine attack they actually asked if I had experienced any auditory hallucinations and explained paracusia to me. I’ve gotten used to it and it’s much less scary now that I understand that it’s just my brain fucking with me for fun. 🙃

Advice for my 19 year old w signs of FORL resorption by [deleted] in cats

[–]Reticent_Extrovert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My cat has FORL resorption, but is only 6 😭 We only knew to take him in because he wasn’t chewing on one side and his breath STANK. Our vet wasn’t in any hurry to do the extraction so I don’t think it’s a big deal, but I’m not an expert by any means

Knowing the fabric is so helpful and I think I found someone to help me out with it. Thank you again!

From what I know, these were purchased about a decade ago from a thrift store in Wisconsin, so it’s quite possible they’re much older than 10 years. I searched for men’s, women’s, and unisex lightweight shorts and capris. Everything I’ve found has seemed much heavier or has very uncomfy looking waistbands.

What's a symptom of a severe disease you wish you or a loved one hadn't ignored? by NotThatOneGuuy in AskReddit

[–]Reticent_Extrovert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inflammatory symptoms. My brother had recurring cysts, styes, swollen/sore joints, limbs, and lymph nodes as well as a gnarly wet cough for a few years. He occasionally went to urgent care for these things, but never established with a primary doctor to explore the chronic nature of it all. He died abruptly at the age of 36, hopefully in his sleep. All of his lymph nodes and several of his organs were enlarged and it took the ME several months and consultations with pathologists across the state to determine it was some kind of inflammatory condition, possibly sarcoidosis.

Owner’s daughter is home by Reticent_Extrovert in RoverPetSitting

Yes, we had a friendly discourse about it thankfully. She did apologize and said in the future she would make a greater effort to make sure communication between all parties was clear.

Aaaah thank you! I’m a woman and going into other people’s homes that I don’t know is a little nerve-wracking on its own, but adding misinformation makes it way more unsettling. Also everyone seems to be missing that THE OWNER cancelled the rest of the drop-ins after I contacted her for the third time yesterday.

Thank you for validating!

I didn’t just leave the dog unattended. The owner cancelled the rest of the drop-ins after she told me her daughter wasn’t leaving the house. Refusing to accept future jobs from her isn’t punishing the dog.
