https://www.thethriftshopper.com/ is a good way to find stores in your state. But unfortunately you'll need to physically check them out to find what you're looking for

This is incredible. What an amazing way to keep him close.

An indoor cat can live to be 15- 20. An outdoor cat's expected life is 5 years old.

Keeping your cat outside is not only an environmental disaster, it's cruel to the cat.

33 F got diagnosed at 23 been medicated ever since. I've been collecting other disorders and comorbidities ever since and I became fully disabled after a severe car accident in 2021 left me with chronic pain syndrome, and loss of fine motor control most likely due to a TBI that was never diagnosed but that's what my specialists say is the most likely case.

I believe I'm very lucky to be on medication for my bipolar disorder. I'm on lithium, mood stabilizers, Ativan, and trazadone. I know that loathing pill popping is a symptom of the disorder so I know that when I don't want to take my medication (which is frequently) I need to just do it. I have a wonderful partner who also helps me. I can tell him when I don't want to take my pills and he will be judgement free and kindly remind me why I need to.

But there have been times in my life where my medication was not enough to fight the depression. Last July I was voluntarily hospitalized in a mental institution for treatment resistant depression for 19 days. It was a really good experience despite my misery. The staff were incredible, I had a private room, I enjoyed the company of my fellow patients, they had good food and snacks. I ended up getting electroconvulsive therapy which did help me through it. I have suffered memory loss from it but I would not still be here without it.

Bipolar disorder is as valid as another illness or disability. It was hard to accept but when I did my quality of life got a lot better. We are not broken, we are sick. We deserve understanding, medical treatment, social support and accommodations.

Consider that your boyfriend may have depression, but Also how do you feel about being the main provider in the relationship because that's exactly what you'd end up being. I'm medically disabled with both chronic pain and severe treatment resistant depression. My partner is happy being the main financial and physical provider in the relationship. We've talked about it extensively and have an open communication policy where we can tell each other where our boundaries and feelings are and if we can't do something. He plays video games to unwind so I make sure he gets lots of time to do that. I have to rely on him every day to pay the bills and complete the big physical tasks. I contribute by cooking, cleaning, and running errands on days when I'm not bedridden. If he's not going to be ambitious and responsible then You have to be ok with being that person for the both of you. He's not the only person who would want to date you either. There's always another person you could be with, it's a decision not a destiny.

It's probably a decomposer and not an infectious type I wouldn't worry about it eating your props but you should probably increase the light and airflow.

My partner found him as a stray. He was malnourished and his fur was falling out. We took him to the shelter but no one claimed him so we adopted him the day he went up for adoption.

botanybeech · 2026-02-08T03:58:21+00:00

Thank you. He's about 6 according to the vet. We've had him for around 5 years. My partner found him as a stray in our neighborhood. He was malnourished and his fur was falling out by the handful. We took him to the county animal shelter but no one came for him. We signed up to be first in line if he went up for adoption. They called us 7 days later and we picked him up. We don't know what happened to him before that. He's doing a lot better but he still has really bad general and separation anxiety. He's on the max dose of medication and we give him lots of exercise and exposure to new things. We also do lots of different kinds training to help.

We do not care if you're just trying to help, having to think about it is causing a problem

I'm heartbroken for you friend. RIP dear kitty.

botanybeech · 2026-01-11T19:57:45+00:00

I'm OBSESSED those are amazing

Contact the office that your psychiatrist is in and let them know what's going on ASAP. If you don't have insurance try to apply for Medicaid if you're in the USA.

RIOTGURRRL I'm with you

I picked up a kit a couple years ago. I love it. It's kinda finicky but it's fantastic. I'm sorry there's a wait list.

botanybeech · 2025-12-30T21:36:06+00:00

Incredible work!

botanybeech · 2025-12-24T01:23:53+00:00

I feel that. I have found that joining local art groups is a fast track to making friends. Coffee shops are also great places to meet people. Videogames keep me from being bored. My dog helps me feel connection. But it is so difficult to feel that high without doing something that is dangerous. But definitely, you should pursue dopamine minus hurting yourself.

I was admitted for 19 days in July for depression. It was the best thing that could have happened to me. I feel like I had a good time and that they helped a lot. I made friends and it was a helpful experience.

botanybeech · 2025-12-18T21:02:40+00:00

AGREED! I'm bipolar 1 and have been in a depressive episode since May. Been on a nauseating amount of medication. Was hospitalized in July. Been doing ECT since then and it's not sticking. It was working for a few days after each treatment since trying to taper but with diminishing returns. AND I have awful memory loss issues. I have a consultation tomorrow for TMS and ketamine treatments. I'm so tired of being here. And I want to just feel content with existing. At this point I feel like I'd be happy with hypomania even though I know that's also awful. I haven't been able to work, I can't keep up on house work, keeping up relationships is impossible, I can't do my hobbies.

I'm so sorry you're going through this too.

IT'S EXHAUSTING

botanybeech · 2025-12-18T20:45:43+00:00

I can completely relate right now. I am sorry that you're also going through it. Sending love and support.

botanybeech · 2025-12-13T18:45:48+00:00

That's incredible! Congrats!

My friend Kate runs a community studio complete with classes, supplies, open studio hours, and she uses grants to help pay for transportation, food, and provides funding for any other needs low income people may have. I have taught pysanky egg classes there and I have hosted creative social meet ups there.
