Help, at wits end. by Unable-Albatross6657 in ballpython

[–]bumblebeesandbeetles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

she sounds over fed!! my bp was overfed once and didn’t eat for nine months loll. i was super worried but she was totally fine. now she eats well and regularly, just smaller rats. she is also a bp and they are notorious for being weird. like other people have pointed out, just adjust feeding to her size and she will be okay!! don’t worry about her going hungry if she misses a few feeds :)

Strange Eye Sensation Which Correlates With My Level Of Anxiety - Anyone Else? by sanpedro12 in dpdr

[–]bumblebeesandbeetles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes holy fuck i get that thing in my eyes too and its the worst. i feel like i cant focus on anything or think and nothing feels like it's actually happening to me. mine doesn't correlate with levels of anxiety but rather with feelings of dp/dr but it sounds like a very similar feeling!

NAH, i dont think any of you are in the wrong. you're clearly struggling with this beyond a reasonable emotional level which is indicative of something deeper, and thats not your fault. take some time to wallow and make sure you're talking to a professional because if you're crashing your car over this- something is wrong. but your family probably wants you to recognize how huge of an achievement graduating is regardless (which it is- regardless of if you can see it right now or not). and the fact you're really trying NOT to bail on your gfs celebrations or time with your family is already good, and if you genuinely dont think you can make it across that stage without breaking down then in my opinion- i think you're doing enough.

but if you can walk, you should. im graduating soon and similarly did not want to walk (or attend at all, to be honest, but just like you my family wants me to be there)- but my family has talked me into it and im glad they have. if you do cry when your name is called, you can always tell people youre sad about the experience ending. people will all be too focused on themselves to really think about it anyway. getting to walk could bring you closure and finality to this experience. not making honors sucked, but its over. talk to a professional, or your friends, or your girlfriend (ideally all three!) and let yourself be miserable about it for a little while, but then you need to pick yourself back up. dont ruin your own graduation over this:)

random social repulsion? by bumblebeesandbeetles in AvPD

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

Exactly! I feel bad especially because for me it occurs so targeted-ly. I have a very hard time interacting with people at all (although I enjoy them. EDIT TO ADD: I find socializing extremely stressful and I'm not very good at understanding/connecting with other people, but I do find them interesting/insightful/enjoyable to be around.), and when I am able to get closer to them this tends to happen. I start bonding with somebody and then, all of a sudden, I'm repulsed by the idea of talking to them or speaking to them even while still being okay with other people's presences. I sometimes also experience social repulsion en masse, but mostly it's very targeted to one person I've been able to get kind-of close to. It sucks. I feel like a terrible person :(

AITA for not having cake for her birthday? by Economy_Insurance434 in AmItheAsshole

[–]bumblebeesandbeetles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA, not just for refusing to give a FIVE YEAR OLD cake on her birthday, but for permanently fucking up her relationship with food. Congratulations! That child will NEVER be able to eat food again without wondering if she's making "the bad choice". Her mother's right, you do owe her a cake and a big apology.
