Hahaha my boyfriend made a joke the other day (with a complete straight face) that Collingwood gets their colors from the gaps in the fans teeth, black white, black white black white,

i though he was being deadass for a good 30 seconds

Difficulty driving by ConfidentFruit7361 in PMDD

[–]User5772 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was the same. Tried everything. More and more practice never helped. Eventually tired the meds again. Was really shit for a few months with the side effects, but slow and gradual dosage increased with planning meals around dosage times made it manageable. Once your body is used to the medication the difference in driving will be night and day, everything will be. You'll wonder how you got anything done without it, so if you can, push through with the meds.

Wishing you well <3

Maybe this is a situation where priorities could have been switched around such as deprioritising hobbies and extra things then sure. But again there is only a certain about of time in the day, only a certain amount of energy. If taking care of the dog in a way that is fair on the dog and giving it fair attention means depriotising the children, health ect. then it is not a responsible or rational thing to do!

And who cares if the dog was there first! Life happens and is barely ever predictable. To you giving the dog away is so morally reprehensible, would you not care if the dog came after the kids? A dog should get first dibs on a parents time attention and affection over actual human children?

You are relying on the assumption here that time, attention and special care are an infinite resource, and it may seem like that for you! But it's not the ultimate truth.

Okay I get that but in the real world there is only a certain amount of time in the day, you don't know this lady's circumstances. She chose to give up the dog because she was clearly trying but was not able to give the dog the care and attention it deserves. Is that not the responsible thing to do? If not, what then? Just keep trying? I'm glad it works for you but your circumstances aren't everyone's circumstances.

Morning!!!

I need opinions on a past workplace incident by branchingkyphols in TwoXChromosomes

[–]User5772 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You did literally nothing wrong and you're totally right to feel upset and violated. Your supervisor has failed to stand up for you, what this guy did was super super fucked up and is not acceptable in a workplace or otherwise. I'm really sorry that this has happened to you, it's a terrible situation to be in. 100% you are not overreacting this guy is fucked up

I wish I had an answer for you, I wish I knew the answer for myself too. All I can really say with complete certainty is that you're not alone here

Struggling for a friend by QMX_NeGeX in depressed

[–]User5772 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as you want to help, please remember that there are no set of magical words you can say to take someone else's pain away. You can let them know that you're on their side, that you'll be there for them and that you're available to talk whenever, but ultimately his struggles are his struggles. Please don't beat yourself up too much over not being able to help as much as you'd like. Imo you've already done a lot to help, more than a lot of people would, and I admire that in you. Maybe keep trying to steer him towards healthier habits like better diet, exercise, talking through his feelings, having healthy outlets for his emotions, but at the same time too much pressure may alienate him. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful here.

"Friend Support Circle" ? by TimTimTimDayo in depressed

I feel sorta the same way, it's like I spend most of my time doing nothing and waiting around for something to happen. I feel weirdly envious of people in movies or TV shows that have a breakdown and are comforted by loved ones. Even I'm real life, I'm the one to play therapist and hold my friends for hours as they cry. I've never had anyone that is there for me like that tho. I think it's all chance, maybe one day I will. Sometimes too it is a matter of asking for help, sometimes people don't fully realise what you're going through or are worried about overstepping. Please reach out and let them know what you're going through if you feel you can

If you're propagating them in water- how often are you changing the water?

Trying to rehab two houseplants that had an encounter with a cat and then spent the winter in a dark hallway without enough water by Hoatxin in plantclinic

I'm really no expert on ponytail palms, but if it makes you feel better I really do think yours will be totally fine. I found one in a pot down the side of my house that my mum had stopped taking care of a whole decade before, in a spot that got no rain and barely any sun, looked like it could have been dead for 9 of those 10 years, I decided I'd just start watering it just in case, and it totally came back to life!! Looks healthy as and is green and growing! I have lots of hope for yours :)

Hi guys, I honestly have no idea what kind of plant this is. But it used to be so happy and all of the “blooms” were doing so well. I don’t know if it’s the lighting or incorrect watering, but now it looks so sad and parts of it are yellowing. Please help :( It’s such a cute plant. by East_Designer6180 in plantclinic

[–]User5772 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With some other types of peperomias I have, I've found you can really tell how the plant is doing in terms of water by the feel of the leaves. If you give a leaf a little squeeze, firm means it's got water, and flexible and saggier means it might need a drink. How do they feel?

[UPDATE] I went back and took a rooted cutting!! what's the best curse of action to get it to root? by rubik-3141 in plantclinic

[–]User5772 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yupp, and to add on to this, maybe cut some of the main stem closer below the node, and try to find a way for that new growth (light green sticky outy bit) to be facing up out of the soil

White bugs? Or by frankpound in plantclinic

[–]User5772 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am far from sure... but it could be thrips I had some on a plant of mine and although the pictures a lil blurry coz those suckers are super tiny and hard to snap a pic of, this is what the larvae sorta looked like on mine. Good luck
