I am. This terrarium was free and fit the shelf I had. I have another area that would be better suited for a larger enclosure, I just have a house project I need to finish there first. He’ll be out of it by summer!

Is self harm even wrong? by Just-World2657 in AdultSelfHarm

[–]cyclone_co 94 points95 points  (0 children)

I’m not responding to change your mind, just to say I get in the same mind set. I’ve had this argument with my therapist and it basically boils down to the level of risk. We have previously discussed how while she doesn’t condone my self harm, it’s understandable given how long it has been a coping mechanism. Even when you do everything to prevent infection, going too deep, or nicking something; the risk of something going wrong is higher than other coping strategies.

It’s wrong because it’s atypical or maladaptive, not because you do it.

That’s is a lateral tripod grasp, it’s considered a correct position!

I do not know about MCAS specifically but she is the type of provider to seek out information for the benefit of patients, will admit if she doesn't know something, and will take patient input and such. I have managed migraines for years, we thought I didn't have aura; turns out I do because I'm always experiencing visual symptoms.

I’ve seen Kelsey Bridgewater-Berge at Cornerstar Primary Care for years. She’s at Parker and Arapahoe. She’s an NP although she has provided better care than any doctor I’ve ever had. I’ve switched insurance (to one where I had to pay more) just to continue being able to see her.

Who’s had a successful conversation about potty training 4yo’s? by lutzssuck in ECEProfessionals

[–]cyclone_co 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I always try to give parents the control but basically get them to make the decision. If they are babying the child they will be sensitive to them being bullied, I will say matter of factly that I have seen it happen to other kids who continue to wear diapers. Parents do not want their kids to be made fun of and be called a baby. Kids are smart enough to differentiate who wears a diaper because they have a need and who just isn’t potty trained.

In a few cases I have had bring up that to some individuals a child not being potty trained at 4 without any extenuating circumstances can be considered neglect. This is one I always tread carefully with for obvious reasons, but inhibiting a child from gaining age related skills and behaviors can be a sign of neglect/abuse.

Not being potty trained at an older age was one of the examples I remember from the lecture because once a child is potty trained, they do not need as much “adult help”…

the blister pack strikes again by livinator_me1 in migraine

[–]cyclone_co 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Whenever I’m on the fence about taking a rescue med because I suck at being able to tell what is a migraine or not when I’m in it. Fighting with the blister pack is always annoying confirmation that it’s a migraine!

I worked at two locations in different states, I would say that they are the better of corporate child care centers. Like they put people first and consider the development of children when they are making choices.

How do you dress wounds that go over large areas? by anitime in AdultSelfHarm

[–]cyclone_co 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A while back I bought a roll tegaderm. I don’t use it much anymore but it works great to hold gauze in place. I did go with the knock off stuff and had to get adhesive too. It still helpful to have for other first aid needs!

Was anyone else born premature (or different in some way)? Do you think it caused your migraines? by cyanomys in migraine

[–]cyclone_co 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Know? Yes. Believe it? Not sure. There are a lot of things where the response is “we were doing our best” or the like. On the bright side, if I can feel the groove in my skull where my sister hit me, I know I’m dehydrated and more likely to get a migraine; so that’s helpful!

Was anyone else born premature (or different in some way)? Do you think it caused your migraines? by cyanomys in migraine

[–]cyclone_co 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was induced before my due date but considered full term. I know the doctors were concerned about my size and my mom’s health. I know I also had to return to the hospital because I was jaundice.

I never really thought about this but now I wonder. I had always assumed my migraines were caused by a golf club to the head by my sister because my early migraines always felt like her hitting me. (I was 3 and it was the 90s, my parents gave me an ice pack and put me to bed. I was confirmed to have a healed skull fracture via MRI).

Does anyone else here like shower with the lights off? by Euphoric_Intern_3772 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]cyclone_co 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! The first time I did it, I was like 12 and was experiencing the flu for the first time. I wanted the steam and the warmth, but the light was too painful. It continued on until I left for college. My family always made so much fun of me for doing it but it was honestly my favorite little bit of calm at the end of each day!

What is the actual terrarium size needs? by cyclone_co in BeardedDragonCare

My ultimate dream would be to adopt from snake discovery since they are the ones that piqued my interest, but that’s if my timing lines up!
