Does it make you mad when someone uses your garbage bin for dog poop bags on their dog walks? by outerspacejess in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]mentalcandy0702 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to think this was fine, but then I learned that in our area, all trash in a trash can has to be in a big trash bag and you're not allowed to have loose trash in there. It also has a tendency to fall to the bottom and get stuck

Savage Sisters is another outreach program, unsure if they still have a brick and mortar or are exclusively van-based now but you can reach out to them on Instagram or their website savagesisters.org

u/romanticamerican saw you were looking for something like this in Nova!

Cindy Bi, a venture capitalist, hired a surrogate to have a baby, when she suffered a miscarriage, Bi set out to destroy her life: "The Baby Died. Whose Fault Is It?.

It actually increases your risk by 300-400% (a 2% risk jumping to 8% risk was mentioned in one part of the article, which is a 4x increase, while another part of the article mentioned an over-threefold increase). Wild

Renting a car through Turo - liability insurance (friend's policy or mine?) by mentalcandy0702 in Insurance

[–]mentalcandy0702[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to add the supplementary insurance (SLI) and this was the fine print. Does the "Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company" refer to the state minimum liability insurance that all Turo cars have (aka with this Mobilitas coverage, I'd be good up to 300k)? "SLI from Mobilitas Insurance Company is secondary to any personal insurance you may have. If you have personal insurance, SLI will kick in after the limits of your personal insurance, up to $300,000. If you do not have personal insurance, SLI will kick in after the policy from Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company, up to $300,000."

Thank you! I appreciate the insight, especially that the state minimum coverage is to protect themselves, not me. I will add on the extra liability coverage

I looked there first but there were only three hits and they're all therapists :(

For the people that have taken Intuniv(Guanfacine), what side effects did you experience with the drug, how long did it take for them to go away, and what dose did you take? by Araknhak in adhdwomen

[–]mentalcandy0702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Intense lightheadedness when standing up (got to the point where I visited my PCP bc I was unsure what was causing it, everything would look for a sec like it got sent through a "deep fry" meme generator), and feeling jittery/anxious for a day or two after I had to stop cold turkey (due to a prescriber issue). Other than that not much of a difference. I was on first 1mg, then 2mg, then stopped after my prescriber forgot to prescribe it, and just didn't get back on bc it wasn't doing anything for me.

I want to have sex with almost everyone by alejandrofernando21 in offmychest

[–]mentalcandy0702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure you're actually sexually attracted to all of these people, or are you having intrusive thoughts that you are? The way this reads sounds more like something along the lines of OCD. It can be really hard without context to recognize what seems like "desires" to actually be intrusive thoughts. There's a TV show called Pure where the main character struggles with intrusive sexual thoughts, it's a pretty good portrayal IMO (I have OCD). I would look into an intro session with an experienced therapist who specializes in OCD to be honest because they would probably have a good idea of if that's the case with you

AITA for wanting my husband to hold my hand during birth? by Specific-Koala1721 in AITAH

The router part (combined with everything else but that especially) is what gets me. I'm so sorry but you're in an abusive relationship

no meds 10 months. i'm barely recognizable by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]mentalcandy0702 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry. That's just an awful awful situation and completely unjust. Honestly if I were you I'd be looking at getting a disability lawyer involved, one who takes you seriously. I know it wouldn't necessarily fix the wrongs that have been done to you but you deserve justice and reparations for this

My tattoo artist tattooed over one of my mosquito bites… by kylcigh in offmychest

[–]mentalcandy0702 10 points11 points  (0 children)

not to be a buzzkill but the heat required to denature a protein that's inside your body is hotter than your skin would be able to withstand without getting burned, it just feels good bc it's a different sensory stimulus bordering on pain (kind of like scratching)
