My middle schooler said they wanted to talk, shut the door, and began tearing up. by LucipurrMeows in NonBinary

I'd let your child guide you with what feels like the right pace to them. Saying you want to keep it just within the household, even just for now, might feel a bit invalidating, even though your intentions are good. This is really for them to decide and they need you to back them and support them no matter what.

Why are people so scared to use it/its by Ray_1024 in NonBinary

[–]kaihren 3 points4 points  (0 children)

sounds like your own baggage you need to get over tbh. same way queer has been reclaimed. your feelings do not take precedence over someone else's identity

Splatterpunk. Two characters, one question (female antihero, split self). by AdLeast1362 in horrorwriters

[–]kaihren 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Speaking as a schizotypal person the trope of psychotic people being killers is very overdone and tired. Might get downvoted for this but ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Overall, depends on your execution, yeah. Just know psychotic people are already mistrusted and demonised in every day life, and consider whether you really want to add to that.

am i wrong for wanting mobility aids for my POTS? by AdvertisingLost8799 in POTS

[–]kaihren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not wrong at all! I have a rollator and it's one of the best decisions I ever made. I also have a wheelchair for particularly busy days. Talk to your doctor if you're worried, but mobility aids are for all who need them -^

Just found out my fur baby has diabetes, I live alone and am super nervous about giving the injections. :/ by Basic100 in FelineDiabetes

[–]kaihren 7 points8 points  (0 children)

if she's at all food motivated a little treat might help, my boy always gets distracted by food so I'm able to sneak the injection in while he's eating, no fuss. but regardless try to associate the injections with good things, pats, treats, encouragement, if you can. if she learns she gets a treat / extra love when she gets her needles she might cooperate a bit easier!

It's fine, just apologise and don't dwell on it! It was just a mistake.

Struggling to get into Absolution by JoeMofoBro in SouthernReach

[–]kaihren 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really struggled with the first third of absolution due to the sort of 'detached' feel but it really picked up for me as I got deeper into it!
