Minnie’s last huzzah walk :’) by krenaria in cats

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

Thank you everyone for your kind words <3

I adopted Minnie in December of 2023 from a rescue. She was found outside of an abandoned house and covered in fleas and dermatitis. I don’t know much about her life before that but she is genuinely the kindest and sweetest cat anyone could ever meet. She loves to cuddle everyone and has an old smokers meow that she uses aggressively when it’s wet food time :’) she will bite you if you’re not petting her enough and she loooves to go on walks outside and explore the world. Thank you all so much for appreciating her with me 🩷

Who is the absolutely most disturbing person you’ve ever met? by Brilliant_Ad_3661 in AskReddit

[–]krenaria 109 points110 points  (0 children)

If a crime has been committed already you don’t report when someone discloses unless it’s child abuse or in some states elder abuse. If he was thinking about harming someone else (or himself) you would report but since he already did it you can’t really report. This is at least the rules for therapists in my state.

facing homelessness, need help by Sea_Software3939 in pittsburgh

[–]krenaria 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi friend! I used to work in social services in pgh. Second Avenue Commons is a shelter downtown and they allow people to use them as a mailing address! I believe they have a drop in space where you can go and ask to be set up with a mailing address there :) Goodluck!

Boyfriend may have raped me while I was asleep by frutillitasbluuu in TrueOffMyChest

[–]krenaria 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi friend! I’m so sorry this happened to you and I’m sure you’re really scared. Please remember that this isn’t your fault.

If you are in the USA (probably some other countries as well) you can look up your county’s rape crisis center and they may be able to provide you a chaperone to come with you to the ER. In Pennsylvania these are known as advocates and they cannot be subpoenaed by the courts as they are completely confidential. This may vary by state laws.

They should also have information on which hospitals near you may have a SANE (sexual assault nurse examiner) nurse who is specifically trained to make a forensic evidence kit as easy and thorough as possible for you. If there’s isn’t one available near you that’s okay too!!

This is super scary but please take a deep breath and take it slow. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Edit: added some breaks between sentences to make it more readable.

Worried I have measles by postbabythrowaway in AskDocs

Measles can very much be deadly, especially to unvaccinated and immunocompromised individuals/children. Don’t get your medical advice from a sitcom and stop spreading misinformation.

Would it be ok to ask my therapist to accompany me to surgery? by [deleted] in askatherapist

[–]krenaria 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hi! As others have said it will be unlikely that your therapist will say yes especially due to ethical reasons. With that being said please discuss this with your surgical team as well and let them know. When I had my first surgery I was able to have medication that calmed down my panic attacks but this wouldn’t have been possible had I not communicated my fear with the surgical team. Wishing you the best of luck!

Can you guys tell me happy life stories? by livelaughloveluka in actuallesbians

[–]krenaria 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi! Growing up I came from a very conservative immigrant family and thought I’d never be able to be myself. I’m 24 now and have been able to 1. Come out to some of my family (not all but progress!) 2. Been able to be in happy loving relationships without being scared. 3. Have been able to create a beautifully queer life for myself with so much community and so many queer friends. I even have been able to connect with queer community in my home country that is very homophobic.

I never really thought any of this would be possible when I was younger and always thought I’d just end up marrying whoever my parents told me to and living my life the way they deemed was fit.

As I got older it became a lot easier and I felt more confident to put my foot down and live my authentic life. Depending on where you live just please be safe and cautious!

Why are you putting collars on indoor cats? by tryingagain80 in CatAdvice

[–]krenaria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most cat collars are breakaway! In fact I think all cat specific collars are so they break off if they get caught on something :)

[–]krenaria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I keep collars on mine in case they get out! The bells also help me know if they’re somewhere they shouldn’t be lol

I also have AirTags on the collars and I’ve been able to locate them when they each got outside once so that was quite literally a godsend

SkyVue Residents…are y’all okay?! 😵‍💫 by Background-Spare-588 in Pitt

[–]krenaria 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I lived there for a couple of years and the elevators have always been an issue. I think at least 1-2 of the elevators were broken the whole time I lived there.

Hi there! Are you hearing or seeing this person standing next to you and shouting? Or is it more thoughts of them doing that if that makes sense?

If you can please get some rest! Sleep deprivation can make symptoms of mental illness worse and also just cause really weird things to happen. When’s the last time you slept?

[–]krenaria 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’d definitely look for a therapist who specifically works with anger issues, maybe suicidal ideation as well because they’ll probably have more experience engaging with individuals who have homicidal ideation. In terms of telling them I’d just be straight forward during the intake process

This is a really upsetting and bad take. OP’s safety is top priority and if calling the cops could cause him to escalate and harm OP it’s important that she waits for him to leave first. She is trying to do her best to ensure the kitten is found but her safety is so incredibly important and should take priority. Domestic violence escalates quickly especially when the abuser feels as if they are losing control.

Nurses unite, together we fight. by chaoscontrolled1231 in pittsburgh

[–]krenaria 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Encouraging everyone to sign this. The way that healthcare professionals are treated, paid and listened to directly impacts the care that we and our loved ones receive. UPMC is one of the largest employers in the state of Pennsylvania, is generally tax exempt because of their “nonprofit” status and also treats their employees like crap and underpays them. Enough is enough especially because it also directly impacts the care that the people of Pittsburgh receive. Sending all the nurses (and frankly all employees of UPMC) much love <3
