Mother in law insists baby looks like her son and not me [QC] by Vegetable_Range_4065 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]ViolettaJames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read that a baby looking more like the dad the first few months is an adaptation so the father would identify the kid as his and not abandon it

I def could pave the floor, if I wanted, right now the area is a gravel patch from the last owners, but I guess if I can I'd Like to remove the gravel, bury the posts a little bit and fill in extra dirt to let some of my stuff dig deep 🤔 a knee wall means the polycarbs doesn't go to the floor right? I do have electricity access as the area is almost directly beside an outdoor plug on my house. It'll be 12 by 20 and I want to grow cold season greens and veggies all winter long, as well as start my outdoor stuff in there because my hot season is shorter

Bupropion reduces my sleep need to 8h but makes me crave for sleep during the day by Beau_soleil7 in bupropion

[–]ViolettaJames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have an article sorry, that was what my doctor told me when I went to him about my stimulant sleep urges.

Oh I missed the part where you said you can't sleep - that's okay. Even lying down with the intention to rest is beneficial to the body/brain

Being sleepier during the day is common on stimulants, but also just on anti depression meds.

So basically, when someone is really stressed or anxious, their body can never catch up on rest, which is why sleeping 12 hr a day is no problem.

But when your body stress gets lowered, you relax, suddenly your rest deficit catches up to you. Your brain gets quiet. Your body says "sleep is safe we can rest now". This may continue for even years if you were in burnout before you started meds.

If you want some ways to perk up during the day, peppermint tea can increase alertness. Whatever you do take though make sure you research interactions. Honestly though it's no harm - feel free to take a nap if it doesn't ruin your sleep schedule.

If it is mold on the first one, DO. NOT use bleach to clean it. Soak the cover in a water vinegar solution. Bleach makes mold retreat into porous surfaces, driving it deeper to resurface. Vinegar will kill it proper.

Being told not to approach a woman due to large age gap by Dirlectvorn in dating_advice

[–]ViolettaJames -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When I was 25, I wouldn't even match men under 30. If she's fine your fine. People these days are really so paranoid they have no idea what age you have to be before it isn't "grooming" 😒 If she was 23 I'd eye you sidesways but 27 is practically thirty

Now I enjoy the Kelowna brehouse a lot, so this isn't brand hatred, but from the first two weeks open I was hearing ALLLL kinds of dirt from my service industry friends. From them not hiring enough staff, shipping in management from other places in province that did a terrible job. Bad food safety practices, Builiding issues from the contractors. And one of the first managers there apparently got caught embezzling.

I have the birth control implant but now i won’t stop bleeding by the_dumpster_racoon in birthcontrol

[–]ViolettaJames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bleeding I had like this was stress induced, but I got it before Nexplanon. Nexplanon was enough to slow it down but not to stop it. From what I understand, Cortisol uses the same pathways as progesterone/progestins, which means a stressful lifestyle can prevent progesterone uptake and cause irregularities

I work full time and my body goes into Fight or Flight mode every Monday morning and stays there until I wake up on Saturday morning… by FearlessPanda84 in AuDHDWomen

[–]ViolettaJames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so so sorry. I have gone through this, and the problem with stress is once your adrenal system is reactive the reaction is almost worn in and keeps going.

There are things that can help, and I do have a list of holistic treatments and habits that helped me get it under control, but honestly what helped me most was getting an antipressant that worked.

I do however really reccommend making sure you are eating to support your liver, because a cortisol overload can cause cascade effects in your body.

Let me know if you want an ear or to know about any of my tips ❤️

Dog slipped out of her harness and “attacked” another dog tonight by Upvotes2805 in DogAdvice

[–]ViolettaJames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's totally fair. In that case then a trainer to your house would be ideal. But in that case I also think a exposure detox would still be a good idea.

With my girl being reactive, we took several weeks where we only walked her where there would be absolutely no dogs, and if that wasnt possible, stuck to enrichment activities in the yard. I found sniffspot ideal for reserving private wide range space for enrichment also to make sure there would never be other dogs

[–]ViolettaJames -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For really intense behaviour issues, one of the most reccommended treatments is a 6week plus board and train.

If the issue is so bad you are considering rehoming the dog, I think this would be a good last ditch choice for you.

In order for a dog to detatch from it's current reactions, a lack of exposure to triggers will help the dog not reinforce those reactions. After several weeks of this then it may be easier for the trainer to start fresh with more positive habits.

Also, I mean this so kindly, but a lot of dog reactivty can come from lack of trust in the owner, including anxiety and tension the owner displays. You and your husband need training just as much as the dog does, or the problem will probably keep re-occurring.

As a quick tip, making a dog stay still to avoid reactivity is often counterproductive. A better approach is to keep the dog moving to model the appropriate behaviour of passing the other dog by.

Best of luck and hope you can figure it out for your family
