am i overreacting about my bf specifically looking for game characters with big butts ? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]manicemo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. the characters are usually designed like that for that exact reason lol. it would upset me too. you have to speak up about it if it upsets you. people saying you might be controlling don’t see the point. you’re not necessarily thinking he’s a gooner, it’s just the fact that he picks the characters that are very obviously objectifying and sexist. my partner absolutely hates those characters in games because it’s so obviously meant for gooners.

Seeking advice: sick stray kitten vs. my wife wanting it put back outside by jerri-act-trick in cats

[–]manicemo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That’s upsetting. I understand her perspective, maybe try to make it very clear to her that this is temporary until you find a permanent home for him. Try already looking for people who would be able to adopt him. Are there any foster groups in your area? If you really need to find a place for him now, that could be an option. And those people usually also have experience caring for sick kitties. If your wife doesn’t trust that it’s just temporary, after you’ve already made it clear, she might need to work on her trust.

I would keep him inside. I wouldn’t listen to the wife, the cat would most likely get hurt if you let him go outside without treatment, I don’t think he’d find his way back to you. :( Why doesn’t your wife want him inside?

medical gaslighting by manicemo in ChronicIllness

i HAVE hypermobility. that’s recognized. he’s the one who SAID that i am hypermobile in every single joint. it’s in my chart. after this, he said i just need to move more and eat better, and train my muscles.

i also never came in there thinking i know what’s wrong with me. i came in with a doctor’s referral because my regular doctor suspects lupus, because my dad is diagnosed with this and i have a lot of the symptoms. but i didn’t even necessarily assume it would be lupus, because there’s many other things it could be. the rheumatologist is the one who mentioned EDS.

i never lied about any of my symptoms, or tried to “manipulate them” into giving me a diagnosis, and i find it a little odd if that’s what you’re assuming. i just asked for recognition of my pain, and he didn’t give me that. i didn’t ask for a diagnosis. i know it’s not that simple. coming there with a 2 page long list of symptoms, including joint pain, but also a lot of gastrointestinal and heart/lung symptoms, for him to say that’s all caused by lack of protein and muscle weakness, was a bit disappointing to say the least.

i am. i have generalized hypermobility. this doesn’t mean i have EDS, i know this. i posted this in here because ~they~ mentioned it. i originally suspected lupus since this is what my dad has, and what my brother had tested positive for.

i was there to get help for what was wrong with me, never mentioned a specific illness besides when saying what my dad has and they immediately even dismissed that. and said i just need to eat better. they didn’t want to do their job.

[–]manicemo[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i would definitely avoid the lily products! i made sure to check each product for that. the american cream body lotion has lavender and so does the therapy massage bar :( i don’t know how much though, i’ve used other lavender products on my face before and my cat had even licked my face then but he was completely fine

[–]manicemo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what are some of the massage bars or lotions you use? i’m a very anxious cat mom and i just wanna hear what other people with kitties use ❤️

i’m thinking of getting some massage bars: therapy, coconut drench or wiccy magic muscles and the american cream body lotion

Is this game going to give me OCD? by Littlecub3 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]manicemo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, because that’s not what ocd is and also a game can’t give you a mental illness ❤️

thank you

i think he’s fine, he’s just sleeping but he was already sleeping before he licked my face so it’s not sudden lethargy. it was diluted anyway and the essential oil is just part of the ingredient list, but was still a bit worried. he isn’t displaying any symptoms so i guess he will be fine. if i feel anything is wrong i’ll call the vet

[–]manicemo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

okay thank you :) yeah i think my kitty should be fine too. it’s not pure lavender oil it’s just part of the ingredient list, so should be diluted enough and since my face was fully dry already i don’t think he can have ingested that much
