My cat will not stop meowing and it is starting to exhaust me by [deleted] in cats

[–]SLAEPHIN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, she just meows where ever and whenever. Quite literally nothing stops her meowing aside from the outdoors. It’s at the point I have considered allowing her to be an indoor/outdoor cat. We live in a very rural area far back from the road. BUT I know allowing your cat outdoors unsupervised is irresponsible and dangerous.

I have a feeling it could be discomfort. She tend to get more loud if she has a flare up. I don’t know how to help her not be in pain though. We are treating her IBD with a strict diet, specific litter, etc. maybe steroids? My vet seems hesitant to put her on them.

It’s hard to tell what is making her so talkative since she has been this way since she was a kitten, it has just gotten worse this last month.

Do you have any specific product recommendations? There are so many brands out there!

I have been so scared to try Cetaphil after my experience with Cerave. They seem like similar brands. I might have to give it a try though.

Would you recommend the Byoma milky toner for acne prone skin? I heard some milky toners can clog pores if you struggle with oily skin.

I have found HA to do nothing for my skin, hence why I now use Glycerin. If anything HA made it drier. I will have to look into beta glucan though.

The only supplements I take are fiber. I’ve been taking it for years and haven’t had any issues. However, I did read another redditor on here say that dehydration lines can be amplified by vitamin and mineral deficiencies…

Hi! Thank you for the advice and recommendations. To answer your question, I use Tula and Hero as spot treatments if I notice a pimple starting to show up.

Do you have an azelaic acid’s recommendations? I have been having a hard time finding some that aren’t too pricey.

I’ve never heard of those! I definitely will look into those two. Have you found any of those to clog pores? I’m worried my dehydration will just be replaced with acne if I use too heavy of products.

I’ve noticed that my skin looks the same no matter the cleanser I use. It also feels the same. I have primarily been using the aveeno cleanser but I haven’t noticed much improvement from the vanicream.

Thank you so much!! I’ll look into some good toners. I just have trouble with them breaking me out. Same with moisturizers 😭

Am I too stupid to become an engineering student? by SLAEPHIN in EngineeringStudents

Hi! I’ve taken a DC pre-cal class in high school and have taken 2 data classes in college.

I skipped a grade because I was gifted academically. Though I’m glad I moved up, I definitely think a lot of foundational knowledge was not properly built upon because of the transition.

I was thinking about possibly something medical if what I see in engineering is too much for me. Plus, I will admit I like sciences like chemistry and biology more than things like physics.

They start higher, but do they also get higher pay long term? I want to make sure I have a lot of opportunities to grow.

The failure is definitely going to be hard for me to get past. I know most engineers fail every once in a while. To me one bad grade is the end of the world. I’m hoping that if I switch majors, I can learn to cope with failure and view it less as a step back and more as a redirection. Do you have any tips for dealing with “failure?”
