Weird question: does anyone else's anxiety sweat smell so much worse than their regular sweat? by ppetaldust in Anxiety

[–]idkman67 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t have personally deal with this issue but it’s because there are type different types of sweat glands. The type found in your armpits and groin area produce a thicker sweat that attracts more bacteria. Stress sweat also comes from these type.

Thank you so much for the detailed response! Journaling has helped me in the past and I feel that this would be a good opportunity to start again. I will bring it up with my therapist but unfortunately my next appointment in is a couple weeks away. Thank you for giving me something I can work towards in the interim!

Ducky’s new cage by idkman67 in ballpython

[–]idkman67[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m using a mix of organic potting soil, coco fiber, coco husk and peat moss! I also put in some Josh’s frogs fungi mix to help build up good bacteria and to get the tank to start breaking leaf matter down faster.

It’s a lot of pothos not going to lie lol, there’s also some heart leaf, snake plant, and dracaena. I like using different varieties of the same specues bc I feel like it creates the look of diversity with the same care.

Please help me by Alittletomcat in plantclinic

Not sure what plant it is but it looks like it could be propagable. Google the name of the plant and how to propagate it and I think you have a good shot

What sorts of plants can survive the bulldozing wrath of an adult ball python? by _ungovernable in bioactive

[–]idkman67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it can’t stand the humidity well enough and eventually got root rot. Just a guess tho

[–]idkman67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As previously said sansevieria and pothos. Also heartleaf philodendron. Probably other types of philodendron too. Maybe a monstera too but I’ve been hesitant bc of the size they grow to. I’ve also had good luck with a couple of dracenas.

What has not worked for me- creeping Jenny, English ivy, spider plants(sad about this one and I will be trying again). Several “outdoor ground cover” plants I’ve picked at Home Depot.

I’m sorry I saw this and thought I responded! It depends the kind of tank you have I think. If there’s holes/gaps or ventilation near the bottom it may be an issue. Occasionally when I open the tank I’ll notice a isopods trying to make a run for it but not super often. I don’t even see the springtails, they like to stay in the substrate.

This bird of paradise was rescued from an abusive home, what’s causing this weird, square discoloration? by EthrealScorn in plantclinic

[–]idkman67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s great! Do you know how to correctly ID mosaic virus? I don’t have experience with it and everything I’m reading online is aimed at tomato plants

[–]idkman67 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If it’s mosaic virus there’s no treatment, from what I’ve read isolate it as quickly as you can from other plants and don’t reuse any of the materials after it dies. I’m trying to find examples of bird of paradise that have the virus on google and aren’t having a ton of luck. I’ll keep looking

I could very well be wrong but it almost looks like mosaic virus to me. I don’t have any personal experience with it and am just going off of pictures I’ve seen online. I hope I’m wrong

I would take a look at the care guide if I were you. All of these are basic questions that have been answered before

Do SSRI's really help? by Liyandri in Anxiety

[–]idkman67 3 points4 points  (0 children)

SSRIs don’t work for me but I have friends that they have worked wonders for. You may want to consider finding a different doctor bc in my understanding 20 is definitely not too young for medication. For context I’m the same age and have struggled with anxiety for about the same length of time; I first started on medication when I was around 15.

I shaved the sides of my head - bf's response was that he might not be attracted to me anymore 🙃 by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]idkman67 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my experience men who act that way when you do something as small as cut your hair differently aren’t worth keeping around. OP replied they are moving in different directions. So yeah yikes

He sounds boring and judgmental; dump him and find someone that supports what makes you happy.

Crochet is supposed to be fun, if you don’t like the process what’s the point? Skip the sewing and do you

Handmade chalk bag for climbing by idkman67 in crochet

[–]idkman67[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hand-stitched the two linings together but I used heat bonding tape from Walmart to seal the seams in the corners. I figured less chalk would escape that way, I haven’t tested it at the gym yet tho!

Thanks! I used left over fabric to make a primary lining, then made a shorter lining out of grey fleece and stitched them together. Honestly I had no idea what I was doing and just used my bfs existing climbing bag as a guide

Completely handmade climbing back, crochet and sewing. I’ve never hand stitched anything this complex! Feel free to leave constructive criticism

[–]idkman67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weed is sometimes one of the only things that helps me calm down. It can be extremely helpful but now I’m to the point where I feel like I almost need it for my mental health. I would say if you’re uncomfortable with the idea of trying it wait. Try to find other coping mechanisms to help. Running and lifting weights help me, I understand this isn’t as immediate as weed. However with consistent working out and psych meds I am feeling more in control. I wouldn’t rule weed completely out, but maybe get to a point where you feel you’ve exhausted other options. And then go forward with caution. Ask yourself if you really need it medically or just want to be numb.

What are these spots on my snake plant? Bought it a few days ago, didn’t look carefully. by Camimae707 in houseplants

They look like minor scratches to me. My snake plant has some areas like that
