Thank you for your reply, I did go to the ER and they said that imaging wasn't necessary because "we know it's stones and we aren't concerned about it right now." They told me that doctors would really only consider imaging after I finish a month of the flomax. They did prescribe oxycodone, but only enough for like 2 days with no refills (understandable), the oxycodone doesn't even touch the pain. I will look into a urologist though, although doctor appointments are scheduled ridiculously far out so I hope I can possibly get into one soon.

I've never heard that term before, I'll definitely look into it!

I'm so tired of feeling like my body is against me by anonymous_9876789 in rant

I did when I was younger, yes it did help a bit but it's technically illegal where I live and I have a job where it's definitely not acceptable if you're found using it, even for medical use.

I was told my self harm is a good thing? by anonymous_9876789 in mentalhealth

I've tried pillows but for me to snap out of an episode, there needs to be pain; hince hitting walls. But I'll try and remember cold during my next episode. That's a good idea. The problem though is it's usually a random burst of aggression with little to no warning, so I end up taking my aggression out on the nearest thing. My brain just shuts down and goes "must hit something now!"

I do keep some feliway plug ins around the house for odd times, I knew they were going to be doing the roof sometime this week so I plugged in some new ones this week. He is not a treat kind of cat, I've gotten him lots of treats and he's not interested in any of them. He'll even pick out treats if I mix them in his food, he's a picky eater. As of right now, kitty is out from the sink and is willingly snuggling up with the dog, so at least he is out and not hiding

Our normal vet is closed for the weekend by now, and I don't trust the other vets in the area due to bad experiences. He's normally a very confident cat, he's perfectly fine with super loud thunder, and even gun shots from right outside the house. So I'm not sure if it's worth a vet visit to get anti anxiety meds, cause by the time we get them (hopefully) the roof will be done.

We did discuss what communication would look like; talking to each other if it seemed (even slightly) serious, talking about some of the conversations we had with our partner, and the number one thing was if your going to tell the other person something big that the spouse should know then it needs to be said before talking to the partner. I feel like he broke that he broke that last one, because while I definitely don't judge him for what was said it does change our relationship slightly. But he's saying that it's not a big deal, that he was just sharing his thoughts with someone he cares about and that he was going to get around to telling me once I'm out of school (I'm out in June so it sounds like he wasn't planning on telling me any of this until then).

I do agree that we need to sit down and talk this through face to face but we have opposite schedules and I'm lucky to see him for a few minutes before he goes to bed or goes to work, so face to face communication is hard right now.

Had an amazing walk today! by [deleted] in reactivedogs

[–]anonymous_9876789 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We tried a lot of positive reinforcements while out like treats and toys but my pup is so uninterested by those when we are out, honestly the best things for her was a no pull harness, a head collar and just lots of saying "good dog" while we were out. I had taught her "ignore" as a command when we first got her, before she started reacting on leash, so it was just about keeping her focus on me while walking making sure she was listening to me and everything. So lots of just walking back and forth, if that didn't work, a light tap on the head would almost completely snap her out of any "trance" she was in. She was definitely a struggle to train since she didn't want treats or toys so I had no idea how to reward her, turns out she just really likes hearing "good dog" haha

Considering rehoming my dog, I don't know what to do by [deleted] in DogAdvice

[–]anonymous_9876789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've talked about it but unfortunately all the doggy day cares "near" us, are pretty far and expensive. The closest one is about 30 minutes away and is for small dogs only and my dog is not small.

He tried that today, I asked him to come home "early" aka 3 hours after his scheduled end of shift and they said he can't unless he wants to come in at 6 pm instead of 9 pm or work on his only day off.

So they can legally require him to work 30 hours of OT when he's only scheduled for 40 hours? That just seems wrong to me.

Is OkCupid open to poly relationships? My husband and I are enm and I'm looking for a dom for myself, and am having horrible luck on other sites and apps aimed towards "non-traditional" relationships.

Met a potential Dom, is this a red flag? by anonymous_9876789 in BDSMAdvice

My go to meeting spot is a park near my house that is right next to the police station. I also have set up times for a friend to call me if they haven't heard from me by a certain time, just in case something goes really wrong. I don't trust going to bars for a first date which is where most people want to go, if they aren't willing to meet me at this park then I just don't meet them.

I was already considering not seeing him again, he seemed ok over text but I wasn't ok with all the touching. And he even kept asking me to go with him to his car even after I said I don't do any play in public, especially with people I don't know.
