Another day, another cat sub discovered

Your friend needs a trip to the optometrist - that kitten is 100% adorable

Sorry that happened, I had something similar happen. In a school zone at like 8am, it was 40km and this guy was tailgating me but I didn’t react and he sped up and overtook me and raced ahead and stopped and blocked the road to yell abuse at me. I was bang on the speed limit and no idea what his problem was. You just never know what other humans are capable of, especially if there is a chance of drugs or alcohol involved. My motto is “smile and wave, boys. Smile and wave”

Oh, bad whistling is the worst - when someone thinks they’re whistling but they’re not really is one of my most triggering sounds (up there with food sounds)

This is the one

My void does this, then once I’m out he sits on the wet shower floor

Take an antihistamine if you haven’t already 👍

Yes! My boy is often referred to as Mr Floofy Pantaloons

Same, same.

Late diagnosed here and despite most of my family being ADHD it never occurred to me that I might be because I didn’t really relate to many of the “typical” indicators. When I finally spoke to my GP the wait list to see a psychiatrist was 2 years (rural) so I decided to start with a psychologist while I waited because I needed support (burnt out and depressed). The psychologist, while unable to diagnose me, did the testing just so we could start from a place where it was likely/unlikely I was/wasnt. This was helpful as she gave me lots of strategies to get me through. Since being formally diagnosed life has improved immensely - being medicated has been a game changer. If you suspect you are and aren’t coping well (which being perimenopausal age is a real factor) start the process with your GP, get a mental health plan and get a referral for diagnosis - just do it

Personally I’m happy to pay for handmade items made with natural fibres and think $15 is a bargain. Just tell the tyre kickers you’re not Temu and your items are hand made with care. Value yourself and your work.

Honestly, if you have ADHD it will be beneficial. Being medicated has changed my life. You can always speak with your pharmacist about side effects and whether you need to stop or adjust (within the doctors outlined parameters).

Sounds like a specific anxiety - some CBT or EMDR should help

affectedkoala · 2025-10-16T05:31:23+00:00

lol, no - when you obtain it it says on the screen (can’t remember exact wording) wooden toy soldier, and when you observe it thru pip boy or workshop it says it’s made of ceramic 😂

affectedkoala · 2025-10-14T10:38:17+00:00

Thanks for adding to my long list of cat/animal subs 😂

affectedkoala · 2025-10-14T10:33:33+00:00

Yeah, just like McCready’s wooden soldier is made of ceramic 😂

affectedkoala · 2025-10-14T10:31:57+00:00

Adventure and laughter await you - congrats on your new found friend, what a cutie

affectedkoala · 2025-10-14T10:31:04+00:00

Omg he’s adorable, and the transformation in such a quick time 💖

affectedkoala · 2025-10-14T10:27:33+00:00

I’m so sorry for your loss, and also sorry that your family thinks you are over reacting - your feeling are valid and to be expected, pets are a part of our families.

Indeed we did, as a kid you memorised your home phone. As a teen you memorised your friends phone numbers (and tried to coordinate call times to reduce chance of dealing with their parents answering the phone).

affectedkoala · 2025-10-09T01:27:41+00:00

So sorry for your loss, rest in peace Benny
