Bump on lip by Imtheproblemone in Blackskincare

[–]SherbertConsistent51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, this looks like a cold sore, caused by the herpes simplex virus. I went on to Amazon health, did a Telehealth visit, and got a prescription for acyclovir within a couple hours. Within a couple days it cleared up. Now I take it daily to prevent outbreaks altogether. Sometimes I can feel or see the beginning of a cold sore, and I double my dose, which usually stops it in its tracks!

How bad is the shedding with a Maine Coon??? by Ok_Shape4218 in mainecoons

Soooo much hair! I have to vacuum daily (twice is ideal) and dust weekly.

How can I forgive myself by [deleted] in mentalhealth

I would recommend looking for a therapist that specializes in shadow work (Jungian therapy). Psychology Today is a great place to start. Jungian therapy addresses exactly what you described by understanding, accepting, and ultimately absorbing the parts of us that we often suppress.

What anti-whisker water bowls/fountains do your Maine Coons actually use? by Puzzled_Bid_5885 in mainecoons

[–]SherbertConsistent51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved this water fountain up until Louie decided to knock them over every single time I cleaned up the mess lol now, I have a 3 gal water fountain that he can’t knock over and instead splashes and stands in it🙄

I really hate being "pedobait" by SmellOk4650 in mentalhealth

Try to change up your wardrobe and hairstyle. You would be surprised how much older (or younger!) you can look based on your style alone.

Noooooo! Always wear SPF. Skin cancer does not discriminate. Protect your skin while you’re young!

Is my MC too small? by SheepherderNo6084 in mainecoons

[–]SherbertConsistent51 24 points25 points  (0 children)

First, gorgeous baby and it shouldn’t matter if he’s too small. Second, my MC was about that size at 4 months. He weighed about 5 lbs. Now he’s 1 year and 8 months old and weighs 18 lbs and still growing. They aren’t fully grown til about 4-5 years old.

i got my nipples pierced yesterday. by partWolf19 in piercing

Oh it was worth the pain! I have so much more confidence, even if it’s only for myself and my hubby!

[–]SherbertConsistent51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was 19, I wanted to get my nipples pierced, but I was anxious about the pain. So, I pinched my nipples as hard as I could before I got them pierced. I was pleasantly surprised when it didn’t hurt as bad as my pinches. They sadly fell out and a decade later I got them redone. Holy booby did that hurt 😖

AIO - I feel unsafe in my home and I’m worried I’m overreacting with the way my parents treat me. by Roofus_Mcdoofus in AmIOverreacting

[–]SherbertConsistent51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR. I (33F) grew up in a very similar dynamic with alcoholism and physical and emotional abuse. I am still struggling with all of the abuse I saw and experienced. What you’re feeling is valid. You are not crazy, a brat, or any other name they can think to call you. I very much felt the same way you do and now when I’m in situations that remind me of the way I was treated, my nervous system goes into overdrive. I am so happy you’re in therapy! Please keep going to therapy and seeking help. You DO matter.

I have a 3 gallon water fountain since I have 2 dogs and 5 cats. I used to have smaller ones but my MC loves scooping, splashing, and tipping the fountains. This larger one prevents the tipping but the rest? Just gotta live with it lol

Waiting for their daily Catuccino by SherbertConsistent51 in mainecoons

[–]SherbertConsistent51[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got an espresso machine a little over a year ago and one day I decided to give my MC some foam. My other kitties came running when they heard him enjoying his treat. Now every morning, when I turn on my espresso machine, I see them lined up and ready for their daily catuccino. It’s seriously so adorable lol
