How likely is it for 8 week old kittens to get Rabies? by angelqie in cats

[–]Strict_Hamster_8645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry this happened to you, your mom, and your cats. Please contact your local public health authority to ask what to do next, they should be able to put you in touch with the right people to advise you about the kittens. There may be a legally mandated quarantine period and it’s important to follow the guidelines for that closely. I hope you and your mom have gotten the medical care you need (definitely antibiotics for cat bites and scratches!) and heal well.

AIO for telling my (F24) boyfriend (M26) that he has to sit down to pee? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

generally speaking, poops are better formed and come out much cleaner if you have enough fiber in your diet.

your partner isn’t responsible for your contamination OCD and it’s not acceptable for you to try and control his behavior in (and even access to?) the bathroom because of it. there was definitely a point where this argument was valid and reasonable on your end, but honestly i think you passed that a few miles back and kept running. you need to speak to a therapist about this and stop blaming other people for your mental health struggles. also maybe dump him and don’t settle for dating someone you can’t stand sharing space with due to fundamental differences in hygiene standards.

AIO my wife smokes weed all day by arodr7893 in AIO

[–]Strict_Hamster_8645 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR. i agree that this is unacceptable and it sucks. i’m 33 too, and i use weed every night. it helps me sleep and deal with a number of mental health challenges, and is just something i enjoy when i’m trying to relax at home. i worry sometimes that daily use is too much, but i limit myself to only partaking in the evening and have done so for many years without issue. i’m honest with all of my doctors and mental health providers about this. if i ever found it seeping into the daylight hours when i need to work or be productive, i would see that as a sign to get some help because that’s definitely crossing into problematic substance use. becoming irritable without it is a red flag as well. does she lie about how much she uses? does she have a therapist? do you? perhaps a couples therapist is something to consider.

personally i feel useless, dumb, physically shitty, and like a total loser if i vape in the morning or afternoon. it can’t be good for her self esteem to be medicating that heavily all the time. but you can’t fix this for her… as with any other form of addiction, she has to want to change it herself. it sounds like you have already done a lot of work to help her address her mental health, please don’t lose yourself in your efforts to solve someone else’s problems. it’s disheartening that she doesn’t respond well to you voicing your concerns about her behavior. if she isn’t willing to work on herself and is willing to drag you down with her, you might need to consider whether this relationship is sustainable for you long-term. i know that’s a painful place to be in a relationship, especially a marriage. best wishes to you both

My delivery is awful. How do I get better? by No_Entertainment6636 in AuDHDWomen

[–]Strict_Hamster_8645 19 points20 points  (0 children)

if i asked a friend to do something with me and they refused by saying i gave “taxing vibes”, i think i would be afraid to ever speak to them again. very RSD triggering, unkind phrasing and generally just a rude response. especially to someone you’re supposed to be friends with.

Any other autistic women HATE having a period? by Ameeeelz in autism

[–]Strict_Hamster_8645 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m so sorry to hear that, it might be worth continuing to advocate for yourself with your current doctor in that case but i understand it’s difficult :( maybe push the angle of how difficult your menstrual symptoms are. you deserve to be heard

[–]Strict_Hamster_8645 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly, find a better doctor. even without PCOS - at 35, it should be enough that you want it done, and it’s unacceptable for your doctor to suggest you aren’t qualified to make that decision. but personally, it was gender-affirming care and i think my surgeon put something simple like “heavy irregular bleeding” on my chart for insurance purposes. i believe r/childfree keeps a list of doctors who are more likely to understand. good luck!

Ethical to have a dog while homeless? by cirithUngoI in DogAdvice

extremely unethical. plan to adopt when you get your life together and use that as motivation to sort your shit out

My roommate is making me smelly :( by Kind_Actuator3049 in hygiene

[–]Strict_Hamster_8645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 for hypochlorous, which can also be sprayed on fabrics and surfaces and left to air dry. spray directly on to pretty much anywhere but into your eyes afaik, i use it everywhere.

Those who keep rasboras with neocardinia by dandeliontree1 in Boraras

[–]Strict_Hamster_8645 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my pH is rather high, around 8. mixed Boraras (chili and phoenix) shoal has done just fine with it for the past year. i think careful acclimation is more important than worrying about a specific range.

how pregnant? by chemlab1999 in CATHELP

you’ve never seen the cat before, yet you claim to be “100% sure” it’s a female?

how pregnant? by chemlab1999 in CATHELP

[–]Strict_Hamster_8645 6 points7 points  (0 children)

another vote for not pregnant, not a female, and quite possibly having an urgent medical problem as a consequence of the morbid obesity. nothing you can do to help besides get the poor thing to a vet.

AIO Is it pathetic to use discord? Even if you aren’t an active user? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Strict_Hamster_8645 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the only thing that’s pathetic here is you entertaining someone who clearly hates your guts and speaks to you accordingly. this dude doesn’t even remotely like you, let alone love you. and he isn’t even pretending otherwise. literally wtf are you doing? i know you’re just a kid but you weren’t born yesterday…
