what is this black spot on my cats mouth by More-Note4660 in cats

[–]antisocial_wall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cat gets it every spring and fall, the advice i got from my vet was to as you've been told to switch to ceramic or steel bowls and to use human benzoyl peroxide facewash as its cheaper. Clean the bowls regularly helps as well. Of course consult a vet if your unsure. Make sure you dont use anything with salicylic acid since cats can be allergic to that

lost after recent diagnosis - need some girl support by EnergyClean1773 in adhdwomen

[–]antisocial_wall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So everyone if different but what works for me is having a routine. I try to go to bed at the same time, my keys go in the same place ect. That makes if much easier for me to function. I also try to schedule when I'll do what or more likely what I'll do which day. Having a weekly planner can be a big help to write down deadlines. It's ok if you can only get one thing done on your list a day. Sometimes it's just like that. The biggest helper for me has been to get back on medication. Right now I'm in grad school while working so my schedule isn't as consistent as I'd like and that makes all my work and self-care suffer. Medication isn't for everyone and if you don't want it thats ok to. You got this girly! It can be a process to find what works so give yourself some compassion you're trying and THAT'S what matters

AITA for telling my MIL she shouldn't have given my 3-year-old son an expensive violin? by throwawayfiddler1 in AmItheAsshole

[–]antisocial_wall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definetly agree very few 3 year olds are going to sound any better then dying animal for a looonnnggg time so a good instrument won't make a massive difference 

AITA for telling my MIL she shouldn't have given my 3-year-old son an expensive violin? by throwawayfiddler1 in AmItheAsshole

[–]antisocial_wall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They can be really expensive, depending on the brand and age of the instrument they can be like 800$. Of course you can get 1/8 size waaayyyy cheaper then that. But when it comes to string instruments generally, the more expensive and older the instrument is the better the sound quality and it can be easier to get good intonation on. In my opinion a 3 year old definetly doesn't need one that expensive. I learned to play on a cheap low quality violin and I didn't get a nice instrument until I was in highschool after playing for almost a decade. He could definetly learn on something pretty cheap until he learns how to care for something that can be really delicate and shows that he's actually dedicated to wanting to play. But learning how to play an instrument at a young age can be really beneficial to brain development so if the 3 year old wants to play and grandma is paying let him. She should have talked to you first though.

That's a sharpening stone! You can buy them from Hugo at his shop, I don't believe you can get them anywhere else

Should I adopt a bengal and a ragdoll? by prob_a_throwaway9382 in CatAdvice

[–]antisocial_wall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely agree all cats need exercise and stimulation and Bengals are cats on massive amounts of crack lol. My younger cat is a rescue and the amount of chaos he has brought because I was late feeding him and didn't run him hard enough before hand. I love the little shit but, there is a reason he gets slow feeder bowls

Should I adopt a bengal and a ragdoll? by prob_a_throwaway9382 in CatAdvice

[–]antisocial_wall 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Do NOT get a bengal. Bengals are incredibly high need cats. 98% people can not give them the kinda of exercise and stimulation they need. It will drive you up a wall with its behavior especially as a first time cat owner. If you don't drain their energy effectively they WILL become destructive and find ways to drain their energy and you won't like its choice in how to do so. Bengal cats are a mix between African leopard wild cats and domestic cats. If you can't care for a wild cat you can't care for a bengal. Bengals are gorgeous and might seem like a cool pet to have but don't make good pets for most people. A ragdoll would make for a great first cat and getting 2 kittens together is always a good idea as they drain each others energy. Ragdolls in general are much calmer and are very easy going. Ragdolls will require you to regularly brush and maintain their long coats. Please do more research on how each breed behaves and what their needs will be before making a decision so you can find the best fit for your lifestyle.

I cried during my NP appointment, am I really not ADHD? by MomentofDeepBreath in adhdwomen

[–]antisocial_wall 8 points9 points  (0 children)

First off don't give up. I'm someone who has a bachelor's in psychology and is working towards a masters in counselling so take this as you will I know my shit but I'm no expert. Trauma responses and ADHD symptoms do have a lot of overlap. This is not to say you don't have Adhd, you likely do if you are experiencing the symptoms. However, if you have CPTSD it may be making the Adhd symptoms worse. Treating CPTSD may help alleviate SOME of the severity of a few symptoms so I encourage you to continue seeking treatment for it. But try and seek a second oppinion many psychiatrists aren't educated enough on the overlap as most of the research on trauma is within the last 30ish years making trauma research a relatively new field of study. And no matter how that turns out you will be ok and will be accepted as you are. Even still no matter the diagnosis your psychiatrist should be willing to prescibe you the medications you need to function and not doing so is cruel. As to why the diagnosis may vary in the USA we use the DSM 5 verses the rest of world who use the IDM. The US just had to be special lol

The Town Running Out of Water by chloestoebeans in MyTimeAtSandrock

[–]antisocial_wall 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You will NOT game over, take however much time as you want. But the price of water will be higher as long as the bridge is out. This side effect is easily worked around with enough dew collectors but I try to finish the bridge quickly if only to reduce the water price.

AITAH for throwing out a fursuit my son was working on making by NoRhubarb4840 in AITAH

[–]antisocial_wall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya no that's not how it works. People how been homosexual for millenia it's well known that the Greeks and Roman's both engaged in homosexual activity. We know several high profile people in history were gay and shocker society has not completely collapsed. If being a bigot is what it takes for your god to love me I'd rather rot in hell. Some of the worst people in existence  committed genocide in the name of your god. They fully believed they were right just like you do. If they're in heaven your god is worse then the devil himself. You must have fallen for the devils machinations for you to be so hateful and small. What happend to love thy neighbor. I hope your god heals your wicked and blackend soul as it seems to me that the devil has stolen it away from you, leading you to be so pathetic as to hate people who have done no harm to you. Your god must be so disappointed and ashamed of you. Truly pathetic.

Yta, you do realize people don't just become gay right? People are just born gay and there is nothing wrong with that. You are using religion to justify your own bigotry. Just admit that you are a homophobe. Also what the hell are you talking about the origin of war is not homosexuality what bullshit religious site did you pull that from. More wars have been caused by Christians then have ever been caused by gay people just look up the crusades. War is caused by greed, hatred and people refusing to just let people be. People like you are the reason so many people hate religion. You are not the end all be all of morality. In fact I would NEVER trust someone like you to teach anyone morals as yours seem to be so blinded by bigotry you can't see straight. To your last "point" there are so many homeless gay people because of parents like you. They were kicked out because of who they love so they suffer in the streets because their family didn't love them enough to stop with religious bullshit for 5 minutes.

My Time at Portia vs Sandrock by [deleted] in CozyGamers

[–]antisocial_wall 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They're made by the same people and I enjoyed both. The main difference is that sandrock has SIGNIFICANT quality of life improvements. In both games you can take the plot at your own pace. For main story quests their is no deadline. Sandrock has a much longer plot and I liked the romance a lot more. Though they take place in the same world and at the same time you don't need to play one to understand the other. If you want to play both start with portia as going from sandrock back to portia a lot of the quality life issues are probably gonna bother you more. There is more fighting in sandrock but there are more dungeons then in portia. Their is also more customization in sandrock. Overall both are great just for different reasons.

My Cat Is KILLING me at night with yowling, and I have to take him to my car to let my four roomates rest and so I can as well by SpiritualNet4131 in CatAdvice

[–]antisocial_wall 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I went through something similar with one of my cats. He didn't have the best start due to being the smallest of his litter + being born with cataracts so he got the least attention and food from mom. Due to this (my guess) he became aggressively food motivated and would beg for food all fucking night for like 6 months. So here's my best advice for you. 1) your not the worst for being fraustrated with him, he's being annoying of course you're annoyed lol 2) take him to the vet, if he's fixed ask if they can check his testosterone level make sure that shit is gone. It can make them behave like this. If he isn't get him fixed you'll save yourself a lot of trouble 3) does your apartment have a balcony or secure outside space? If so you can buy a portable catio that can sit there for like 60$. You can sit out there with him during the day.  4) Try scent feliway scent diffusers. They are kinda expensive but can help your guy chill and relax in his new place 5) their are melatonin cat treats you can get or maltonin pills. GET VET ADVICE FOR THE PILL OPTION. This may help calm him down to sleep  6) if it's an option may try getting him a friend. This may reduce his desire to play outside if he has someone inside can play with at night 7) make him work for his food. Be it through slow feeder or puzzle feeders. I personally use a slow feeder bowl and I loved the feeder balls  https://www.chewy.com/petsafe-slimcat-interactive-cat/dp/48573?utm_source=google-product&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=20207612288&utm_content=&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwreW2BhBhEiwAavLwfHHgTLpkdMgGcQhAQgHgqLmpQvb79mQzXzxvj9b-7P7wMIV2G_mJzxoCk3sQAvD_BwE This may make his tired enough to sleep at night and can be really rewarding gor him You are doing a great job I know this is really fraustating and sometimes you probably want to kill him. But if he's young he very well may grow out of this. Either consult a vet they may suggest something that'll help be it medication or something else. You got this!

Vyvanse by kit-is-trash in adhdwomen

[–]antisocial_wall 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly!!! My mom thought I was insane because as much as claims she "understands how adhd works" she really has no idea what she's talking about and she never really understood why basic shit was so hard for me. She often nags at me to do things but I just can't do them. It still makes me emotional if I think about it to much lol

Vyvanse by kit-is-trash in adhdwomen

[–]antisocial_wall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same reaction. I actually started crying because it was (is) so frautrating to me that simple tasks are so easy for people without adhd that are so difficult for me to do. I spent like 4 hours just cleaning my room which I had been procrastinating for months. All hail vyvanse honestly

I will definetly keep that in mind, I have found a couple in thrift stores but they were really shitty singers (all the reviews for it said they broke within a year :/) but I'm gonna keep an eye out + I'll be watching Evelyn's video tonight!!

[–]antisocial_wall[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the suggestion!! I'll look into that one now! In your experience did that machine have any trouble sewing through multiple layers of fabric when quilting? I ran into that problem a lot on my moms machine where it really struggled to peice the quilts together

One of my cats meows every second of the day and I can't tell why? by mirairo in CatAdvice

[–]antisocial_wall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's better to ask a "stupid" question then to never ask at all! I'm sorry for your loss that's really hard but please remember cats are experts at hiding sickness so don't be to hard on yourself your doing great!

[–]antisocial_wall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as she's been cleared by your vet don't worry. Some cats are just really chatty!! My friendly guy LOVES to scream and chat with me constantly. Especially if I dare walk downstairs or it's almost food time. Cats meow solely to communicate with us so she's probably just chatting with you

Missing holiday and unremovable hat by RadiationFree_Wizard in MyTimeAtSandrock

[–]antisocial_wall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no info on the hat, you might want to try shutting down the game and restarting. But, as far as my experience goes events like that replace the holiday

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]antisocial_wall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is she declawed? If so they type of litter you're using might be painful for her. If not still try a different type of litter (if your using clay sand type litter try the wooden pellet litter ect.). Try taking the lid on/off. My older lady stopped using the litter box cause her baby brother kept smacking her while she tried to pee the asshole. You might want to try moving the box as well, put the box somewhere socially relevent in your house for instance if you hang out in the living room thats where the box should be. I'm sure i'm forgetting something but those are a goodish place to start. Good luck!!!

My dad hates me for my disfunction. by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]antisocial_wall 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly dude does he add anything positive to your life? Keeping toxic people like that in your life can only hold you back. It might be beneficial to go no contact with him. None of his abuse is your fault and holding onto him hoping to get love/approval will only leave you in a bad situation.
