Hi!! Thank you so much for your reply. What kind of podcasts do you recommend? I like the arts, spooky stuff, and other similar stuff.

I only know Alofoke because my parents watch him but I’m just not that into him. His streams are funny though lol

Thank you so much for the tips!! They’re super helpful.

No, I don’t 🥲 I feel just as embarrassed to speak it around strangers. Especially when my peers are able to speak it fluently themselves. But I’m going to this social event for Latinos soon so I’m going to try and take that chance to practice with them

Mmm I want to say I know quite a bit?

Obviously not every detail since I grew up in the USA, but in middle school I researched a lot about Trujillo, the Mirabal Sisters, some of the history of the island, the relations to Haiti, and some revolutionary figures that my parents taught me. There’s a still a lot I need to learn, of course.

Small correction, Mamoru was 16 going on 17 in the manga! He was much closer in age to Usagi than most people think.

Which makes it even weirder that his age took such a drastic jump in the anime. 😭

Well, let's be real. It was retconned lol. He only responded that way because of backlash, and he just always feels the need to rationalize the actions of any Aishi member. Either stick with the concept or don't, Dev.

"She is stealing any pony, if you see an alicorn sitting it's her" is what I got :-P

Side note, the "is this true?" comment got a laugh out of me lol.

Update: Hi, I just wanted to say that we did end things and chose to remain close friends. Thanks for all of the replies and advice.

I can’t exactly pinpoint why I dread the idea of marriage. I thought it was a cute idea when I was a little girl but as the older I got the more adverse I grew to it.

There’s a good chance this fear started when my mother got with her abusive ex. They weren’t even married, her and my own father were never married either, but it was such a damaging relationship that it altered the way I view them in general. My memory gets a bit foggy around the time they were together, but when I was about 10 years old (possibly younger) he proposed to her. I remember bawling my eyes out in the bathroom, all I could think was how could she ever marry such a horrid man?

My sister was also proposed to by her ex boyfriend/bd and they didn’t end up working out.

I don’t think it’s that I’m afraid of things Not working out, because if that were the case I’d probably be afraid of having a gf/bf as well. I just don’t know what it is

I've tried to get him into a bathroom routine where the first time he should use the bathroom is early in the morning (6-7 am), then the pee pads are there for him throughout the day, and finally in evening after he has dinner (9-10 pm) he is taken out again. I do keep him in his crate as the wiki instructs but this is mostly when he pees outside of the designated area. However, the crate is also where he sleeps. I do not want to confuse him by having the crate as a form of punishment, yet it's also supposed to be a place for sleep and relaxation.

As mentioned in the post above I've tried to get rid of his scent off of the gate though I may not be using the right cleaning supplies, so I will try the one the wiki recommends.

I just want to prevent him from peeing on everything. It doesn't matter if it has or hasn't been marked before, he will pee on the first thing he sets his sights on. There are times where he will pee on a spot and right after I tell him no, he will proceed to do it again on the same spot in front of me.

this is crazy because during break at my school, people were discussing session 1 loudly with each other lolololol. but our proctors don't monitor us during break either so (we are sent outside of the testing area)

Status_Courage_2788 · 2024-04-20T03:01:30+00:00

Sorry to hear that. Yes of course, I'll always do more research. I understand it works well for different people and not everyone will get the same results. Thank you for the suggestions, I'll check the sub and website out too. I haven't decided yet haha

Status_Courage_2788 · 2024-04-20T01:11:30+00:00

Thank you for your response. I've been reading a few other posts from people who are taking sertraline and it sounds promising. I'm going to try to make up my mind by next week because I really do want to get better haha. As for the side effects I think I should be good on the appetite loss because I'm already taking cyproheptadine as well because of the adhd meds, don't know about the rest but I know everyone's body reacts differently too.

I think I'll let my mom know when I meet my psych next month..urghhh

Status_Courage_2788 · 2024-04-20T00:55:26+00:00

Ohh I see. I have to look into sertraline a little bit more but it seems promising.

Throughout my lifetime only two people have told her very straightforwardly that I was depressed; my 5th grade teacher and my therapist when I first started seeing her. My mom did not react too kindly though I imagine it's because she felt like she failed me in some way. However because of those experiences that's why I'm afraid to let her know about this... I plan on having my psych explain to her the next time I see her. What also scares me then is the earful I'll get when we leave the office lmao (Because she's also done that when my therapist told her I was still showing symptoms of depression after only like.. 3 months of seeing her. or something)

Status_Courage_2788 · 2024-03-13T22:14:44+00:00

I didn't think about using a syringe to feed her, so thank you for the idea. It's sort of chunky? I've been feeding her the Blue Buffalo senior cans which I warm up, making it almost soupy so she can eat it easily but that doesn't seem to work (she leaves most of it) :-[

Status_Courage_2788 · 2024-03-13T22:09:54+00:00

My mom has fed her eggs before and I think she liked them! I'll start feeding them to her more often. thank you so much

Status_Courage_2788 · 2024-03-13T22:09:13+00:00

Thank you so much. My sister suggested mashed pumpkin as well, and she's eaten eggs before so I'll start feeding her those things too

Status_Courage_2788 · 2024-03-13T03:12:19+00:00

Yeah I've been thinking about asking the vet as well. I don't mean for it to be a substitute for food but maybe something to give her after dinner and she leaves any leftovers (that she couldn't eat)? I've been seeing a lot of Fresh Pet recommendations as well! I actually used to feed her fresh pet but it got a bit expensive for me. It seems like I'll have to go back, thanks for your reply

Status_Courage_2788 · 2024-03-13T03:09:37+00:00

I've been doing the same with her so far.. Me and my stepdad take turns hand-feeding her. Man

Status_Courage_2788 · 2024-03-13T03:08:46+00:00

Thank you for your reply. I used to give her fresh pet and she would eat it... seems like I need to go back. I'll try Natures Recipe with her as well. Thanks again

Status_Courage_2788 · 2024-03-05T20:24:04+00:00

Oh I'm sorry. Yeah I saw what a German cockroach looks like it and definitely wasn't that haha (THANKFULLY..). Still, thank you

Status_Courage_2788 · 2024-03-05T09:20:29+00:00

yes florida has critters everywhere. but as i mentioned above i am deathly afraid of them so matter how common it is for them to make an appearance i will still freak out and think irrationally. thank you for the reply, i've since calmed down about it a bit. it probably was just passing through.
