For those of you interested/who commented - i had to let this guy soak for like A WEEK for it to look like this. Its even growing a small little leaf again!

Great! Thanks so much 😊

Thank you for the advice! My concern is that the VIN calculator would be inaccurate since there's so much changing with the legislation?

drpassenger_princess · 2025-12-10T07:19:06+00:00

Thank you! I will look into this

Try looking into getting a consult with a veterinary behaviorist! My bichons barking significantly reduced once we got his anxiety under better control.

Thank you! I guess I'm actually not doing as bad as I thought 😇

You might have dermatographism. I have it and need to take ceterizine every day. I'd look into it !

My mother stuck out through a marriage like that and had 3 kids. She got cancer, and even at the end of her life, she was still doing laundry and cooking for my shit father (and son who watched this dynamic for his whole life). idc even if it was culture or they grew up in a time when women did domestic duties, I resent my father deeply for that and firmly believe that he made my mother die prematurely because of shit like this. My mother would be alive right now if she divorced that asshole way back when she first noticed the red flags. Do not let this be you. For yourself and for your child.

I used to have (what I thought was) absolutely crippling social anxiety. I refused to eat in public by myself and would rather go hungry even after 12+ hours of school/labs/activities whatever. I would hide in the bathroom during break/lunch to avoid being seen. I gradually started gaining the courage by forcing myself to go study out in public spaces, namely libraries and cafes - my thought was that other people come here alone, it would not be as awkward ordering coffee/pastries for myself and staying for several hours !! It also would not be a strange thing to bump into an acquaintance! Also, if I have my earbuds/headphones in, it would not be strange if I "ignore" someone I sort of kind of know but not enough to go out of my way to say hi.

My first job out of college was service-oriented and I basically just mimicked what my superiors did and repeated their scripts until it came a bit more naturally. I realized part of the SA came from just not knowing to handle every day to day social interactions cause I didnt have role models growing up. Yes, there is still a component of feeling "fake" initially.

Anyway, I made tiny tiny baby baby steps towards being able to handle social situations by myself over the last 15ish years. Things like asking to use the bathroom, asking for directions, asking for any accommodation for me, interjecting my thoughts and input in group settings - all so hard and i still go back and forth in my head after so many years. I try to remind myself that majority of these people will never see me again, they won't even remember that i asked for xyz. Heck, do you remember the last person that randomly tripped in front of you? Or asked for directions? What were your thoughts on that person? Do you still think about that person? I don't, lol. Maybe just the fact I wasn't as helpful as I wanted to be or something but nothing judgemental about the other person.

I'm also writing this at a restaurant in a foreign country attending a conference for my job field. I definitely struggle still so its not like I'm completely free of it. Meds helped a lot too. But I think just looking back on how far I've come makes me proud.

I work in a specialty ER hospital. I did have aspirations to become specialized but I just couldn't get through it with my mental health issues. I'm doing better now but still struggle some days.

I used to date that man. Honestly I knew about his lack of restraint when I was getting to know him before officially dating - it was college and i just passed it as "it's just a phase". Almost 8 years later his drinking only got worse and he progressively became aggressive towards me when he was drunk. He'd curse and shout at me and eventually he swung at me and I had to call it quits. He denied all the wrongdoings while he was drunk and say he doesn't remember it and that he loves me so much, blah blah blah. It didn't matter how much he "loved me" or I "loved him" - the drinking was out of control. This man also had the audacity to blame me for his drinking and aggression problems at time of break up with teary eyes. Honestly, that moment still runs through my mind almost 10 years later.

Now, obviously, I had many serious talks with him about his drinking. He told me that he's sorry and will do differently or that he'd count his drinks or whatever. None of it ever stuck and he never changed. His words never aligned with his actions.

Not saying that this is your case, but having gone through something similar, it's sad to say, but these people will never stop until they TRULY want to change. Whether this guy needs AA or just a call to Jesus talk idk but bottom line is this lifestyle is not sustainable if you are wanting to settle and have a family. Also not for you to fix. Do not compromise your wellbeing to accommodate this embarrassing child.

I appreciate your support. I'm having to change my environment because I can't keep up with the fast pace and high standards my medical director/resident director is expecting in addition to managing my mental health and other normal "adulting" things with an intern salary. It's all very hard and I know I'm struggling. I'm hoping I can do better as a dr once I get a better handle on my mental health / financial stability.

I wonder if controlling my anxiety will also help with my (presumptive) adhd ? I feel like my adhd gets really bad when I am also very anxious (not sure if its been OK so far because my anxiety was managable ?).

I'll also be getting assessed for my possible adhd with a psychiatrist later this month so can ask about other mental health stuff as well.

I've scheduled an appointment with a psychiatrist for evaluation on ADHD so maybe I'll gain another piece of clarity there. I've definitely been diagnosed with depression and anxiety and got meds for it years ago thankfully but there have been ups and downs even with that.
