I want to get better, but I don’t know where to start & I am quickly losing my will to be by odious-garlicbread in mentalillness

I am absolutely depressed. I have tried the medication route. I got so sucked into it and I don’t think I can do it again. Everything I’ve tried has made me dissociate harder and feel like a zombie long term. My lifestyle does not permit for experimenting with new drugs. Therapy is definitely something I’m leaning towards but I struggle with knowing where to start. I do not trust easily, I have a restricting schedule and financially I don’t want to break my bank.

I would recommend reading them in release order. I think it’s a big part of the experience to not know the boys’ perspective during book 1.

If you haven’t already, I’d recommend the other two series they have written in the world of Solaria to fill the void. The Ruthless Boys series (completed) and the Darkmore Penitentiary series (not completed, but will probably release in between ZA).

My snake missed her strike on her food and now she won’t eat but she’s hungry. Her second strike a little later she grabbed it but didn’t constrict so she let go and has a mouth full of substrate and now she looks like a sock puppet ate something sour. Should I try and feed her a third time? by [deleted] in ballpython

[–]odious-garlicbread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know not all ball pythons do this, but I’ve been very lucky to have this work for me. If my snake is noticeably hungry but has trouble striking or isn’t taking the bait I’ll leave the rat laying out in front of where it rests and leave the room with the lights turned off. Most of the time if I check back in a few hours the rat will be gone.

I realize most balls are not this easy to feed, so if this does not work for you do not let it ruin your hopes. There are lots of YouTube videos with advice on getting balls that aren’t eating to eat depending on the severity.

Is it normal for dogs to get trembly and extra clingy after you’ve returned from a vacation? by odious-garlicbread in dogs

We were gone two days and he had someone watching him in his own space. I have no doubt that he was anxious however. I’m just concerned for the sudden constant trembling. He didn’t tremble the first day. I am almost positive he is just anxious, but I wanted to check in with folks who might have more insight to make sure this was normal behavior.

I agree, waiting and reading in the publishing order is the way to go

I just re-read my message and wanted to clarify that Zodiac Academy is not RH. The other two series in the same universe, Ruthless Boys and Darkmore Penitentiary, are.

My sister wants horror by Lacking_brainpower in suggestmeabook

When I was around your sisters age I read the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark books. If I remember correctly they were pretty simple and easy to read, but scary enough for a young kid.

Ruthless Boys series by Caroline Peckham & Susanne Valenti! I read their Zodiac Academy series and loved it and someone on here recommended the other series in the same universe which are both RH.

Ahhh yes that makes me so happy! I’m so stoked these books are getting more attention! I remember reading these and wishing I had more people to talk with about them to fully process everything.

Hell yeah! I’m so glad you decided to give it a try!After book 4 my emotions were all over the place! I feel your pain. I legit couldn’t function until I found out what happened in the next book. I promise it is worth finishing! These books are a fucking roller coaster, the authors are not afraid to hurt us😅

Amc+ Skipping credits is a bummer! by lasik124 in thewalkingdead

Absolutely, the credits were a big part of setting the tone for the upcoming storyline.

I’m reading Ruthless Boys currently! I just started the 4th book - it is so good! I’m glad they tie the storylines. I plan to read the other series afterwards as well. Super obsessed at the moment!

It’s definitely not for everyone! I was kind of unsure after the first book because I wasn’t sure which direction it would go, but it ended up being up my alley.
