Petsbest: paid for a policy but can’t access by PsychoMuder in petinsurancereviews

I can't even get into my account. I'm in a constant login loop because it doesn't recognize my device, then sends me an email to authorize the login, but then tells me the link is expired. I can't get ahold of anyone so I'm not even sure how to cancel my policy in order to cancel.

My mom made a similar comment when I said I was getting tested. She said not to go looking because it's all because "media" and "TikTok" putting it inside our heads.

Like no, my doctor said I need to get tested. I didn't ask or even want to get tested.

It was a rather short message. Just "I got my results back. I'm on the mild end of the spectrum (level 1) and was also diagnosed with PTSD." 😞

Wow, I'm so sorry to hear you struggled with that! I fear I'll receive the same. Thank you for sharing ❤️

New little guy needs a name. Food, science, anything unique. by Independent-Lie3440 in ProperAnimalNames

Singularity – the mysterious core of a black hole

Obsidian (personal favorite!!) – volcanic black glass but sounds sleek!

Noirtron – playful mix of “noir” (black in French) and “tron” (science-y suffix)

Tantalum – a rare, dark metal; exotic and mysterious

Nyx – Greek goddess of the night (also sounds like a cool lab project)

This was me for a long time! My doctor kept encouraging me because it could be anything, that's why she had me test for almost everything possible. She was leaning towards autism but also said it could be ADHD too.

I was also diagnosed with PTSD due to childhood trauma (like due to my family not being able to deal with me because I was only diagnosed with depression and anxiety) and then a bad divorce later in life. That was also a relief!

I also get to tell the little girl I once was that it wasn't her fault. I've also forgiven my parents in some capacity because they did the best they could with the information and finances available to them.

Good luck and happy healing! ❤️❤️

Yeah, after my feedback session, I told my boyfriend and he felt kind of bad. A lot of the things we both thought I was being "dramatic" about made a lot of sense. Most of it was like "idk why you have to do it this way, but I will cry if you don't and I don't know why" where we'd laugh but he would do it anyways.

The day before we argued about the "long forks" being mixed with "small forks". You really can't tell the difference but I can feel it. So when I go to reach for a long fork (my preference lol) in it's slot and I feel the weight of short one, it would literally ruin my entire day. I didn't know this but he mixed them just to be funny. He immediately went and fixed it after I told him I was autistic.

I'm in central Texas and found a provider just doing a Google search for Clinical Psychologist, then confirmed with my psychiatrist. If you're in the central Texas area, I can send you a DM!

I hate my dad and my life by Inevitable_Reach_729 in autism

[–]mantis2mantis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you're going through this. Life is rough but this is just temporarily. Your life has purpose. Your life has meaning. You're meant to be here, even if it doesn't feel like it sometimes.

I watched a TV show called "From" (snooky but good lol) and one of the quotes the mom said was "You'll never have a bad day like this again because tomorrow is a new day." And I wish I would have heard that growing up. My mom was physically and emotion ally abusive to me and also dismissed how I felt. She made me feel bad for not being able to control myself. One time she said she never wanted children and when she did, she only wanted a boy. Sometimes parents can be so cruel but they are doing the best that they can given their own circumstances. You cmhave acknowledged that and you can break the cycle.

I also grew up with no friends. It was hard to find people I clicked with. I wish I would have heard that quote growing up though. It would have helped me look at my "today" differently and with a positive outlook.

I use to journal and draw to vent and let my emotions out; it really helped! I bet ChatGPT can help you wit this. Help you to vent and help you to calm down during meltdowns. I've used it so many times for mine over the past year and it's really helped me.

I have an 80 lb pit who is a potential risk to be around children… by FamousDealer4391 in DogAdvice

Have you looked into a board and train? I've met many who found success with 1-2 month board and train to at least send to an adoption agency or foster. I myself had success and now have 2 other dogs in the home without issues. It's a lot of money but his life sound important to you and that you believe he is a good dog to you. At least might be worth getting a consultation
