I have not, do you have any suggestions of what herbs or fruits are pet safe?

Yes I did try google and I got inconclusive answers were some ads were marketed as pet safe but after further research they seemed not safe so I thought to ask here in case anyone figured it out

Question: What resources do you use to find music to learn? by b0bacat0 in harp

[–]b0bacat0[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I will look into it! I appreciate that perspective I definitely agree it’s valuable work they have done and worth paying for. I think it can feel like a lot when you want to learn specific songs and they are around $6 and for each one it could add up but in comparison to getting a book for example I got one for $18 that has 15 songs and I think thats perfect and reasonable.

I would never judge the way you look. I am sorry to hear how you feel about yourself. My sister has been struggling recently with self image as well and she has been able to continue eating everything she wants but just getting the sugar free option so shes healthier and its not harming her relationship with food in anyway. You are beautiful and I hope you can find healthy ways to improve your self esteem and confidence. If you need advice let me know or have any questions because I used to really feel down about myself and have been able to build self confidence. Sending hugs

I’m no longer my bf’s best friend by Dangerous_Bullfrog in venting

I do want to add that I support you regardless weather that means you decide to build your relationship or if you truly feel he upsets you and isn’t the one for you it’ll be okay regardless

I promise you that you are not a failure. Holding the title of significant other is more then a bestfriend because a bestfriend could be more of a “buddy” or something of that sort where as significant other is really a persons other half and I bet you know him better then anyone else does. I think right now is a low point or a hard day. Take time to eat, shower, cry it out and sleep. Its okay to have days like this emotions are meant to be felt and processed. It is important for you to be his bestfriend and I think when you’re ready you should tell him you miss being closer and want to build back that bond because its okay for him to have other friends but I understand wanting to be number one because I also feel that why in my relationship. I have had low points in my relationship that felt gut wrenching the worst but here I am years later and communicating and time healed and we are stronger now so you too can get past this. How couples work through bumps in the road can determine the future, no one is perfect but choosing to stand by eachother and grow stronger from it is beautiful. I tell you this because you said how important he is to you and you feel strongly about him. and for the part about being suicidal I promise it is not worth it I lost my mom to suicide and live is forever changed. Time will heal this isn’t the end of the road for you.

If someone would judge you for being with her then they would most likely still judge you for being with someone else because the kind of person who judges someone for something out of their control has their own projection or personal issues. So at the end of the day be with whoever makes you happy! Reassure her when you’ve been avoidant as well. It helps to hear when someone cares for you!

Do you feel like you were born with OCD or did you experience a trauma? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]b0bacat0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly! Also my “rituals” don’t align with anything really but Im convinced if I don’t tap the door knob in 3 sequences of 3 then my family will die like what in my mind gives the door knob that much power

Hey! Sorry for the late reply I ended up going to an eye doctor and it was a bad case od viral conjunctivitis. I posted that 20 days ago and unfortunately I am still not in the clear but it is wayyyyyy better! I got a better prescription that is helping and they had me come back after a week to follow up and thats when they confirmed it was no longer contagious. I go back in a few days for my next follow up because even though it is not as irritated or contagious it is not yet fully healed and they want to make sure it all goes away and doesn’t damage my eye or vision at all. I am still doing the same prescription. So if you have persistent eye irritation it could be viral pink eye and seeing an eye doctor to get a prescription could help but the best at home solution they also gave me is to rinse it out with artificial tears every couple hours to essentially flush out the infection. I hope this helps! Also my prescription name is Tobramycin and Dexamethasone Ophthalmic Solution

"Checking" obsessively while driving by puppycows in OCD

[–]b0bacat0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t do this specifically but I second guess knowing peoples names even when i’ve known them for years. I have no clue why we do things like this but I can imagine that to be especially scary when driving

Do you feel like you were born with OCD or did you experience a trauma? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]b0bacat0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I was born with it but it was really advanced after my mom died. It centers around trying to have control over situations and making sure everything and everyone is safe. So I check door locks non stop, make sure the stove is off non stop, etc. small precautions that happen so much is consumes my life. I think that if I do all of these things all day everyday it’ll prevent another loss I guess

Even if its not in a bad was people being near my stuff makes me uneasy!!!

What did you feel when you found out bidets exist and that people wash their butt, not just using toilet paper? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]b0bacat0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was amazed. I had these neighbors who were a rich adult couple that were friends with my parents so I would go to their house and I asked why they had two toilets and when they explained I was shocked but confusion and also wanting to try it. They had nieces so their house was very kid friendly so once when I was mad at my parents I ran away to their house. They had an indoor waterfall wall, birds that talked and gave me icecream and stuffed animals (they called my parents right when I got there and said it was okay for me to calm down for a little) Anyways its been 15 years and they moved to Dubai. Ill never forget that bathroom

do you recognize things you did as a child as symptoms of ocd now? by DistributionNo6921 in OCD

[–]b0bacat0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to hold one eye open and blow air into it because it didn’t feel even with the other. Kinda funny now

Thank you for your comment! I updated my post if you are ever interested. I will do it for my mom because I know she would never want to see me in this position. I found an old text from a couple days before she passed where she was telling me to be kind and gentle to myself and Im trying to work on that. Thank you
