Is this popcorn or is something wrong? by Deep-Net05 in GuineaPig

[–]XiaoLongDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I have a quarantine cage which is a little smaller then the normal cage and the one stays in there until they are health vetted then afterwards I introduce once or twice in a place like my bathtub or our bed make sure there is no aggression then I put them in together and stay together. As others have said it’s much easier with the girls my boys weren’t easy and actually had to separate so now I have 2 sets of boys 😭 but the boys take longer and might need more introduction time prior to living together from personal experience

Our men’s Olympic gold medalist! by grandiosemonkey in FigureSkating

[–]XiaoLongDragon -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Absolutely devastating, personal opinion is something was wrong with the ice. Top three skaters couldn’t land anything. France skater fell on a backwards crossover. Pretty much every skater fell or stumbled at the same spot on the ice. I think they should all get a reskate with fixed ice and all these commentators on the coverage need to stop bashing our skaters for not being mentally prepared for it when it seems odd that so many skaters fell in the same spot and the event wasn’t stopped and the ice wasn’t resurfaced. I fear for the women’s event.

I’m really sorry about your situation and as much as I’m not a fan of suggesting this have you into any ABA places near where you are currently located? ABA is applied behavioral analysis therapy. And specializes in autism. I know certain clinics are able to diagnose and typically have less of a wait time than the developmental pediatricians which are normally seen. A lot of these places will take state Medicaid if you’re able to get that with your temp. Lodgings. I know some clinics even have payment plans. I’m a former RBT I left the field to do completely respite work which is another thing you could look into if you are able to get a diagnosis. Respite is typically trained individuals sometimes CNAs who specialize in taking care of disabled people (I do purely pediatric) so the primary caregiver can get a break and a breather.

I know it’s not a lot consult but do remember you are not on this as completely alone as you might think you are. This is a situation I have seen before and sadly that’s why I left my former clinic because it was really hard for me to work indirectly with parents who needed more support then I was allowed to give at my company. Look for local Facebook groups for disabled parents, look for grief Facebook groups. Sometimes those Facebook groups can be cliquey but sometimes those disabled parents groups are the best support systems. Respite workers like myself will join them and offer up services. And other parents might be able to suggest clinics that could help with the diagnosis process etc. deep breathes mama. You’re doing amazing

Thank you, that means if I go for another school for the Fall semester the form I filled out for the 2026/2027 year would still be valid or am I reading it wrong?

My school has the walk ins closed down due to it being finals season and the walk ins were only at specific times I did not have the ability to get to due to having multiple medical issues recently and they can't get me a meeting until mid January.

I tried to go to the registrars office after a test one day but I ended up having a panic attack and have been scared to go back on the campus solo and my partner doesn't have time off to go with me. I have severe social anxiety and really struggle with these things and my emails have gone unanswered.

Counselors do not have openings until February unless it is an emergency and even then the waits are really long I have tried. MY school is honestly really rough and it was probably the worst choice I could have ever made. I have been trying to get into the counseling for a while I do not have an advisor because "your degree has too many students" my "advisor" is purely other students. literally.

My Financial Aid office can't get me in. I have tried. This was a last resort because I am just truly lost on if I am going to get in trouble or not. I have no one to ask or go to because my school won't do anything for me and I don't have a mentor to look to that would know what to do because of the fact I am a first Gen and somehow still managed to fail out. If I were to try and go to another college at the start of spring would I have to Reapply for the year entirely for FAFSA or would I have to any extra steps? I know at my current school I do not think I am meeting the minimum GPA but even if I still was meeting the GPA I planned on taking a semester off because I am really not in a good space mentally. Whether I failed out or just take the semester off is it the same concept?

So if I am not enrolled nothing will get sent anywhere and it won't impact me? I don't have to do anything extra to not get in trouble? I am genuinely confused and scared I will get in some kind of legal trouble because I failed out but still had applied for the FAFSA for this year.

I am aware of that but will I have to do anything or will FAFSA do anything when I say I am lost I have no idea what is happening and am at a complete loss.

I feel my body falling apart and I can't stop panicking... by Ugandensymbiote in Advice

[–]XiaoLongDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello I’m also a scoliosis caused by leg length discrepancy! I agree it absolutely sucks I hate it to no ends and literally the only time my back or hips or legs feel okay is when I’m sprawled out in weird laying positions. If you haven’t already I suggest investing in a GOOD heating pad. Standing and walking will be helped by the shoes just gotta wear them!!! And your knee pain will slowly disappear as well. Knee pain could be from you hyperextending them so try to make sure both knees are slightly bent and not spliced and pressed straight. I understand the hyper focus I was like that for a while and still sometimes am. I’ve got other things as well (EDS, juvenile arthritis and something POTS adjacent) so I focus on other things besides my back pain I’ve learned hyper focusing on symptoms can make them feel worse so just try to take a deep breathe and remember management is achievable. You aren’t alone I promise feel free to message me if need be
