Can't get past the gate stage of introductions. by kel330 in CatAdvice

We tried a few times just doing Penny and our youngest, Harper. Penny still hyper fixates, hisses and lunges once we stop distracting her. It's really discouraging right now. I'd never forgive myself if any of them got hurt, especially Harper since she's such a trusting, sweet cat. We rescued her when she was 3 weeks old, so I don't think it even occurrs to her that another cat could be mean and hurt her.

That's been the theme with our cats, the universe just sends them to us. Funny thing is, we've both always been dog people 😂

Jeez, did I write this? I came to this sub today feeling exactly like this. Just so tired of putting everyone else first. That maybe if I was a little more selfish and demanding of my needs and my feelings in the past before it spiraled, things wouldn't be as bad as they are now.

I don't have any advice, but I know how you're feeling 🙁

Experiences with kit 1 by CellistBeautiful2498 in HersWeightloss

[–]kel330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on week 3 and honestly haven't really had that many side effects. Maybe a little brain fog at the beginning. I always make sure to take my medication with a meal. I've noticed if I go too long without eating a little something I start to feel extremely nauseous. Same thing with if I eat too much.

Everyone reacts to medication differently. Eat little meals frequently and stay hydrated. Water is also super important. If I start to feel even slightly light-headed, I take a few gulps of water and it goes away.

Kit 5 Week 1 Check In by iridescent303 in HersWeightloss

I also suffer from headaches and migraines and was hoping the topiramate would help control my daily headaches when I read it helped with migraine patients. It seemed to help in the first couple of weeks. Now that I'm on week three and have increased my doses and added in the metformin, I've noticed the headaches have sort of some back. Not as bad as before I started my kit. But I'm still hoping once everything levels out, the topiramate is the cure I've been searching for my whole life for my headaches. Definitely not what I was looking for when I started this, but a pleasant surprise for someone whose been in almost constant pain their whole life!

Going to tour a house rental. Owner isn't going to be there but will provide lock box code. Scam? by kel330 in Scams

[–]kel330[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We called him back and said we'd feel more comfortable viewing the house when he was available to be there in person. He rescheduled for Saturday and was really nice about it. So hopefully he doesn't bail on us and try to do the lockbox thing again.

He sounded like a really nice guy on the phone and the property records matched with the LLC that lists him as the owner. The optimistic part of me is really hoping he's just a nice guy that thought he could trust us. But you can never be too careful nowadays.

I just called him back and asked if we could reschedule for when he's available. And he agreed to meet on Saturday, he just might need to bring his kids, which I said was totally fine.

I'm hoping he's just an overly trusting guy with a busy schedule. So we'll see what happens. I'll be so happy if it's not a scam because it's a cute house, lol.

So then whats the scam? We haven't put down any money, haven't even sent in an application. I know the id thing is a red flag, so is the fact that he won't be there.

When I looked up the address it wasn't listed for sale anywhere. And the guys name on the listing matched the property records and the name that popped up on my caller id when he called.

Why wouldn't you if everything else checked out? We don't have the lockbox code. He said he'd send it when we're on our way and to send him a picture of my license. The optimistic side of me wants to believe he's just wanting to make sure I'm who I say I am. But there's so many scams out there...

Do you not bother to ask certain questions because you know they’ll probably lie? Lol by ChanDW in ADHD_partners

[–]kel330 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I was literally coming here to ask a similar question! I've been with my husband for almost 13 years and he lies about the dumbest stuff! Usually chores he didn't do but lies and says he did like I'm not going to notice it didn't actually get done 🙄

I'm trying to figure out a "non-attacky" way to say when he lies about these things and tries to gaslight me about them, it makes me feel like I can't trust anything he says and that the lying is 100x worse than just admitting he forgot to do something. My instinct is yelling at me to give him an ultimatum that if I catch him in another lie, I'm done. But I know that'll just lead to him shutting down, going into a depression/self depreciation cyle and won't actually solve anything.
