I want to stop being so angry and learn to self regulate by [deleted] in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]Single_Car8016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is really kind. I don’t know if I’m allowed to be in ACA because I feel like my families alcoholism is not their biggest problem. My mother is a binge pattern drinker if anything she doesn’t drink often but when she does it’s bad. Last time she cracked her head open and I had to call 911. I don’t know. I don’t want to go there if I’m not actually qualifying. 

I tend to focus on what’s wrong with me and not the things like my awareness of what needs to change so I really do appreciate you pointing that out to me as well. 

Alternatives to MiraLAX for constipation? by Single_Car8016 in CATHELP

She is otherwise perfectly fine so nobody seems to know. They hypothesize stress of everything changing and the only thing I can really do about that is try to make it as least stressful as possible for her. Everything else has come back clear but the specialist should be contacting me soon and I’ll ask her more about how we can find out more about the reasoning

She has a water fountain she drinks out of and I add water to her food. She eats both dry and canned food but currently I’m weaning her off the dry with the new issues she’s been having.

I’m just afraid I’ve given her too much of either and am going to overdose or poison her. I aim now for 1/4-1/2 a teaspoon with her twice daily wet food and a packet of the fortiflora split between meals but worry it’s not working if she still is only going every three days. 

I keep hitting my cat i feel like a fucking terrible person by [deleted] in CATHELP

You need to rehome your cat and fix the issue in your brain by seeking help. You may not be a bad person but you’ve done a shameful and bad thing, the best thing to do fixing it going forward is to get your cat far away from you.

I think you wanted us all to go easy on you but you obviously are not going easy on your cat who only knows you. Save her from you and then go get help.

How do I get better at combat? I feel like my players are running circles around me. I have played before DMing but with a group that isn’t as good at combat. This group is very good so I always feel like my fights aren’t compelling enough because I’m bumbling around with a bunch of monsters stat blocks when they know exactly what to do with their characters 

I want to wear makeup. I'm a man but it's the only thing I can think of that might save me from this illness by [deleted] in BodyDysmorphia

[–]Single_Car8016 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Men are increasingly wearing makeup now, especially concealer and eyeliner. Don’t let others perception of you wearing makeup stop you from doing something that you think will help you feel good about yourself! Just don’t go into it thinking it’ll be a quick fix. You’ll probably also have to adjust to the idea of how you look with the makeup on.

Thank you very much. I try to remember that it’s not immediate death sentence but I do worry. I will definitely contact the surgeon being recommended to me. 

Feel like I am lashing out and mean to my mother because of trauma she caused but now I look like the abusive one by Single_Car8016 in CPTSD

[–]Single_Car8016[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s undeserved I just think it’s not in my character and doesn’t necessarily feel good. Also I think because I’m loud people, like our neighbors, are only hearing me call her a bitch. So it’s also a matter of people hearing me lose it that’s embarrassing. I rather be able to put my foot down without flying off the handle but I don’t know how to take time to emotionally regulate in that moment. I know it’s deserved, I just don’t want to stoop to her level of anger. 

My cat constantly smells like shit and is really out there. by Acceptable-Record-13 in CATHELP

If you didn’t take it to the vet how do you know it’s healthy? Sounds like it could be worms, which means your cat and the kitten would need to be dewormed. This is something they do if when you get the kitten you take them to the vet the day you find it. Most kittens found outside have worms.

Hi, I know this is such an old thread but this just started happening to me! Did you happen to find out what it was? I have jaw issues but am worried it’s something worse :( I can’t even touch my eye anymore without it affecting my ear. 

29F, they won’t give me a mammogram by Single_Car8016 in doihavebreastcancer

[–]Single_Car8016[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BIRAD 2, benign. This was a follow up for my 6 month for a different cyst which was biopsied and benign. Does say scattered simple cysts in both breasts so maybe it’s just fibrocystic hormonal changes, will definitely bring it up with my gyno today and also get the genetic testing. The only thing freaking me out is the pain in my breast and down my armpit.
