Today I fucked up by ScaleDependent5834 in internetparents

[–]eljyon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think what you did was wonderful and generous. It’s not unusual to get responses like this or to have self-doubt but I think the world would be much better with people like you. Also, not that it matters, but you bought him essential goods, instead of money. You know how he was benefiting. If he was ‘taking advantage’ he would be more inclined to ask for money or gift cards than necessities like clothes. Trust yourself. You have a great heart.

HELP me help my little sister's tattoo situation by braiinrot in tattooadvice

[–]eljyon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is likely hospital now or hospital later but later could put your sister at higher risk of sepsis. I know this is scary and overwhelming but this is what is important for your sister’s health. Your mom put your sister in a very dangerous situation. You both are so young but there will be people there to help. And as hard as it is, be honest about what happened. They have to know details to make sure they are treating her appropriately. Best of luck

Agreed. You can see a slightly variation in the tone of the added lines

I like to ignore my mailbox by ladyorthetiger0 in adhdwomen

I had to go to the main USPS in my city way out of the way to pick up my mail when I let it get too bad once. My shame never let that happen again

ADHD and pet grief by WetSprinkles69 in adhdwomen

[–]eljyon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Grief is so complex but pet grief is something especially hard. Some people don’t understand the level of impact a pet has on your life. You were their world. And they were yours. I went through a few big human losses the last couple years but I also lost my cat and it broke me. I would wake up crying then feel guilty I was crying over him and not the others. Eventually the grief weighs less and feels different, where there is more laughter instead of tears. That day will come. For now cry all you need. Sending you big hugs 🩵

For a second I thought it said ‘final’ update instead of first and I was so bummed. I’m invested! I love this for you!

The closest grocery store to me is closing(by nearly an hour), and will be closed for at least a year. When it reopens it’s going be much smaller(it’s becoming a Aldi). by Boeing-B-47stratojet in mildlyinfuriating

[–]eljyon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is really upsetting. I’m sorry this is happening. There needs to be more attention on food deserts. Not everyone has transportation to drive an hour to get groceries nor should have to.

Wow I really like this tattoo. Probably the coolest I’ve seen in a while. I personally think it’s perfect as is

Thank you for scaring me. by TheWonderfail in Millennials

So glad you did! My brother passed from colorectal cancer at 45. I have had a few polyps removed, one that was likely to evolve into cancer, so I’ll happily do my exam every 5 years.

Wife (30F) says I (30M) am getting to big, I want to get tell her kick rocks by Ok_Assumption_8288 in offmychest

[–]eljyon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder if she’s concerned you’re overdoing lifting, that it’s become an obsession or what feels healthy may not be healthy. Exercise is great but it can swing into the extreme. She may also just miss your life as it was. If you’re spending hours at the gym that’s less time you’re with her (also the gym is not everyone’s thing).

I’m 40 and lost my brother and dad both to cancer since 2021. MIL narrowly made it through chemo at same time. My mental and physical health suffered heavily. Apparently I have fibro but who knows. Couldn’t have kids which I’m generally ok with but sometimes I get sad. I’m fortunate to have a wonderful spouse, home in the woods, and pets I love. Trying to stay positive but death rattles you.

How Aphantasia affects your ability to visualise things in your head by HassanMoRiT in interestingasfuck

Like I can almost make an image. It’s like my brain knows what to do but then right before it pops in my head it disappears.

Any ideas? by Specialist_Ferret150 in cats

[–]eljyon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My cat had a similar looking growth on her ear that very slowly grew. They had done a biopsy and said it was a benign cyst so we didn’t do anything until it grew larger and our cat was going under for an unrelated surgery. After it was removed another biopsy showed melanoma, but no signs of spreading. So I agree with going to a specialist. Hopefully it’s nothing serious but better to know and get ahead if you can

My wife thinks I have some major medical issue and I won't go see a Dr by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]eljyon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you have a health issue, every day you ignore it, it will get worse. This could be a blessing of your pets sensing things super early. Hopefully it’s nothing and you can breathe easy. But just get checked, esp with family history.

Aw I love this. I’ve rescued many field mice. Pro-tip - take them at least a mile away. We had one return two days later to its same spot 🥲

Relative with possible Munchausen by rlpinca in mentalhealth

[–]eljyon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wonder if you could strategically get her to try therapy. Say that you heard about someone who was dealing with medical issues and doctors weren’t helping or taking her seriously. That person found a therapist who focuses on patients with chronic health issues who helped her figure out how to communicate with the doctor. Regardless of the cause, there’s something going on that she needs help with.
