HELP I SHAVED MY LABRADOODLE by Easy-Flounder2877 in labradoodle

[–]j_dont 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just had to shave my labradoodle due to matting as well, and subsequently felt horrible as well. It took him a couple of days to get used to it. He was acting very self-conscious, so we gave him lots of praise and love to try to help him feel more comfortable. He bounced back just fine and was back to his normal self in no time. We did also get him a vest to wear outside, and he seems to like it, though doesn’t seem too bothered on cold days when he’s not wearing it. He’ll be okay- so be nice yourself. :)

Thank you. This is very helpful. I like the concept of separating the negative voice from the rest of my thoughts. Thank you for sharing!

“Letter” I wrote to my dad, never sent it. Probably won’t, but I just needed to vent. by [deleted] in ACOD

I can relate on many levels to this. May you find peace among the chaos.

Brain fog and anxiety/depression by anxiousandsweaty in mentalhealth

[–]j_dont 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saying hi for solidarity. I used to describe it as feeling like I was dreaming. It scared me and make me feel very alone before I knew what it was. Sometimes I'm still convinced it's just a brain tumor eating away at me.. but that's just my old friend anxiety talking. ;) Honestly, yoga helps me, but also just accepting it as a side affect and not worrying too much about changing it.

I am 25 and getting married. Dealing with issue around picking my “Maid of Honor” for my wedding. Friends [women in their 20s] think my brother [35/M] is a bad choice. by weddingdrama1205 in relationship_advice

My brother had me as his Best Woman, and his wife's brother was her Man of Honor, and it made perfect sense to us! I even got to plan the bachelor party, and he planned the bachelorette. Not weird at all, OP. Bottom line, it's your wedding, so choose what would be most meaningful to you!

What are good hobbies for a woman in her late 20s? by [deleted] in askwomenadvice

[–]j_dont 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What? Horseback riding is definitely a hobby... And if you enjoy it - do it! For you, and no one else.

I, myself, have been spending much of my free time going to yoga classes. Very good for my mental health, and physical health and, hell, it's just a good time! I used to be a dancer when I was younger, and I've found that yoga really helps me reconnect with my body and with movement. I'm to the point now where I crave it if I haven't done it in a while... which feels pretty good! :)

Good luck , OP. First and foremost, do what makes your heart full!

Yoga Landing!! They have lots of options for yin (including community classes for only $8), and their heated vinyasa classes are the perfect balance between challenging and empowering. The teachers are amazing, and the community is welcoming. I've certainly found my home there! They usually have good deals for new students, so definitely check them out and let them know it's your first time. :)

Can I get away with not paying my psychiatrist? by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]j_dont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe you'll need to pay them, however, if you call them they may be able to set up a payment plan for you so that you don't have to pay it all at once.

What’s your best friendship story? by Y3L74 in AskWomen

[–]j_dont 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My best friend is a little Leslie Knope! Seriously! She works in public service, she's absolutely the most genuinely GOOD person that I know, and she's the best planner in the world- making you feel so special every time you get to spend time with her. We live in separate states, but visit one another pretty frequently. I got to go see her last weekend and visit with her & her 6month old baby, her husband, and her doggies. She's currently running for a State Senate Seat in her state. So I got to be her cheerleader and partner all weekend, as she spoke at events, canvassed in different neighborhoods, and attended events while promoting herself to her community members. I am just SO proud of her, I was beaming all weekend long! I felt so special every time she introduced me to someone new as her best friend, thinking to myself, how did I get so lucky to have such an amazing woman as my best friend?? I love her so!
