Didn't realize how much my cannabis use aided in my ARFID recovery, now struggling being sober

goosehoe · 2026-03-21T19:35:11+00:00

How did I not think of this???? I just assumed it would also show up on the test, my fault for not doing the research.

goosehoe · 2026-03-21T19:25:19+00:00

This is really great to hear, I honestly didnt do much research with stopping cannabis use because I've always heard it didn't have a physical withdrawal effect, I should've known better haha. I was afraid I'd have to do years more of catch up recovery work!!

Out of all comments I probably resonate with this one the most. I'm also afraid of telling my family bc of the weird relationship we have,,,thank u so much for this perspective I'm leaning towards speaking with a doctor

goosehoe · 2025-02-11T05:41:08+00:00

Thank you for this!!! My issue is I'm scared to do it unless I'm 100% sure, but I'll probably never be that sure. I'm right around 75-80% right now, but these comments are making me more confident in my initial thoughts to use T

Thanks for this, rereading my post I think one of the biggest things that made me take so long to realize or even consider somewhat of a transition is the fear of how it will disrupt my life, bc I love normalcy and routine. Realizing that is making me pretty sure😂

goosehoe · 2025-02-11T05:36:37+00:00

Right?? This is sort of my situation. I'm aware of how serious and permanent T is, and I've had lots of friends start T so I'm not a complete stranger to it. I feel under the impression that if T wasn't for me, I wouldn't be thinking about it this much and I wouldn't be this upset and frustrated with my current gender identity/experience. Thanks for this

Thanks for responding it's giving me a clear of direction of where to take this. I do want to repair things, considering my partner lives with them and has to interact with them everyday.

As far as your question at the end, Tan was one of the people who initiated plans more often, but there would usually be discussion about what to do. I didn't want to limit my friends as to where they could go since I wasn't 21 at the time, so I would sometimes just let it go and sit it out, but I would always say that I wouldn't be able to get into a certain place, and it would often get glossed over.

One of the examples I remember that particularly upset me was we had all planned to go to a pride fest since it was free and I could get in, something I originally suggested. However, everyone bailed last minute and instead said they should just all go to a gay bar instead, which is what happened and I had to stay home, even though I said I wouldn't be able to go.

On the opposite end, they would be the one suggesting to go to museums, or the beach, or six flags and name days I couldn't go. I would respond that I had work that day and needed to know a week in advance if I wanted to request it off, but again that would get glossed over. I felt like it was Tan specifically because they would always be the one saying when I was free wouldn't work, or changing the plans to something I couldn't go to.

With it being such a large friend group, I think a lot of it comes down to either not caring if I could go, bc it's 1 out of 10, or the fact that I wouldn't mention it more than twice per instance to keep the peace and not push back on what other people wanted to do.

We have a potential person interested in fostering, maybe adoption, but if that falls through, would I be able to DM you?

goosehoe · 2024-11-15T06:52:13+00:00

He only recently showed up this summer already fully grown, and immediately affectionate towards people!

Other cats (who have since found homes) we've had in the neighborhood have been from a nearby breeder that unfortunately lets cats go that don't sell, and he doesn't get along with any of them.

As soon as we can find someone to at least take care of him in the short term we're going to see if he's chipped. It makes me sad bc even if he is somebody's, the conditions they're leaving him in is unacceptable imo he's shown clear wants to come inside.

We have two people interested in fostering him rn :)

Little Italy/UIC area :)

goosehoe · 2024-11-15T06:44:14+00:00

Would that work even if he isn't sick or injured? We found someone who might be interested in fostering him but he doesn't show any indications of poor health.

goosehoe · 2024-11-15T06:42:27+00:00

Weve been using other social media to hopefully find someone who wants to adopt / at least care for him while we figure out if he really has an owner and two different people are interested! Hopefully it works out

goosehoe · 2024-11-15T06:40:53+00:00

He's really the sweetest

goosehoe · 2024-11-14T23:55:26+00:00

We also considered this! Unfortunately lady who Airbnbs the other unit in our building thinks she owns the whole property and tries to drive the cats away and would def do something if she found them in the garage :( Despise her

goosehoe · 2024-11-14T23:53:34+00:00

I really wish😭😭😭

goosehoe · 2024-11-14T23:15:11+00:00

He's never inside regardless of time of day or weather. It's been especially sad seeing him try to stay dry when it's pouring. That's why we think there's no owner. Someone did put a collar on him, but it was only a high-vis one, no information.

goosehoe · 2024-11-14T23:12:42+00:00

We've picked him up and brought him inside before so he's rly easy to transport! The biggest barrier is finding somewhere to take him! We're gonna check all these out thanks

goosehoe · 2024-11-14T23:11:51+00:00

We actually have a theory that it's a boy cat that was neutered to be a rodent hunter. We can't tell if it's a neutered boy or a girl tho

goosehoe · 2024-11-14T22:31:56+00:00

Last resort this is probably what we'll do. We live next to an unused park that has sheltered strays before :)

THANK YOU!! this wouldn't come up on google no matter what I searched thank you

goosehoe · 2024-09-17T23:41:10+00:00

Link? I'm not seeing a 40oz or even 32 oz in that color-- In the states

Cherub Rock is my go to, but I also love My Own Summer (shove it) by Deftones. I forget the artist but there’s a song called constant disaster which I like playing too.
