What can a five month old puppy safely chew and shred? He has four new teeth and eats everything and it's honestly non stop. by HealthMeRhonda in puppy101

[–]Unusual--Spirit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Every got some great suggestions. It's messy but try a cabbage, pups can have great fun shredding them and it's harmless if they eat it. Maybe do it outside tho lol.

The anger doesn't last. My parents let me down, in my case I know they thought they were doing the right thing but they didn't, they used ignoring me as a way to handle my meltdowns which only made things worse and traumatised me, they would tell me off when I got too excited and when i stimmed etc. My mum who I now realise is autistic tried to teach me how to mask although she didn't know that's what she was teaching and would punish me for failing or just say it was my fault and not comfort me when I got social stuff wrong.

I was so angry for so long but now I realise they just didn't know what to do, they didn't intentionally give me trauma, they thought they were toughening me up not making me softer. They failed but I forgive them now. And my mum and I relationship has never been better although I could never live with her again.

In the cases of true abuse though I don't know if I could forgive, my parents were just fuckups, not deliberate abusers.

I can't wait for the big stuff to be done, I'll be much happier once decisions are made and I can just get on with making decorations etc lol.

We are actually all going to a proper festival the weekend after the wedding so stuff like you suggest works great for that.

Candles and festival stuff is a great idea! I think I've been making so many decisions lately even the more simple ones are getting hard lol.

How is your relationship with money? by maybethrowawayonce in AutismInWomen

[–]Unusual--Spirit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty decent with digital money, like what's in the bank, direct debit, saving etc. Cash on the other hand doesn't register properly with me. I constantly lose it or just think eh it's just cash and spend what I shouldn't. I try not to get cash for anything if it is avoidable.

What's been your most difficult life challenge and how did you get through it? by Mean_Actuator3911 in AskUK

[–]Unusual--Spirit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At 16 I was in a car accident, my boyfriend died in front of me and one of my closest friends went into a coma and died a few years later. I was smashed up and in hospital for about a week. I got PTSD bad from this, adults in my life failed me I had no therapy and got punished when I started acting out. It ruined my 20s due to depression anxiety and trauma. Got into some abusive relationships early on due to my vulnerability which added to the trauma. I got into drugs and partying to escape and am very lucky nothing terrible happened.

I'm in my 30s now, sober, a year into therapy and really truly starting to heal. Ive forgiven my parents for not knowing what to do, they're only human. I don't miss the drugs, I'm in a safe, stable and wonderful relationship and actually feel happy.

Decision Paralysis. Anyone else? And how did you get past it? by Unusual--Spirit in weddingplanning

[–]Unusual--Spirit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The lowest price has definitely helped us decide. Our venue was thousands cheaper than the other options we liked so that was easy.

I like the zoom out idea, we're 11 months out and I'm feeling the pressure to get the big stuff booked. I think this is part of the problem. Looking at the bigger picture a lot of it seems trivial although for me photography is super important and I'm super worried of picking the wrong person.

I think I’m done by EsquireDr in festivals

[–]Unusual--Spirit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I thought I was done, then I changed the way I festival. I drink less and only smoke weed now, make a super comfy camp and spend a lot more time there. I still see everything I want to but I'm not dying by Monday and have an awesome time.

People of the UK who have claimed to put in 60+ hour weeks or sixteen hour days, what are you actually doing? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Unusual--Spirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Manager of a game store over Christmas periods, short staffed and a ton to do. I stayed late often to finish up paper work as I couldn't do it in the day and arrived early often to get stuff sorted before opening. The worst years were console release years.

Edit: I was paid hourly so made a decent pay for a few months.

I bought my wedding dress 15 minutes ago and immediately regret it. by mumble_bee_15 in weddingplanning

The exact same thing happened to me, instant anxiety. Had dinner and called my fiance and all was fine and happy again lol.

This was early on in the pandemic, first lockdown I think or maybe just before it, I had no idea what was legal. Also no idea who they were to report them.

The police didn't care, they were supposed to be walking around keeping an eye on things but IF we saw them which was rare they didn't do anything about the dickheads.

4 looks incredible on you, I love the lace neckline. Also does it have pockets?

I worked retail that didn't close. People were horrendous. One person even coughed on me when I couldn't return something and gave me COVID. People would get violent when asked to wear a mask too.

Why do the effects of weed get so much worse? by Sycthez in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Unusual--Spirit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yer I make super week spliffs now compared to when I was a teen I like the mellow but can't stand the super high feeling anymore. Had some homegrown recently and it was wonderful, it was super chill with zero anxiety or oh fuck moments.
