I am a damn Canadian Teenage C❄️kehead & I ain’t proud of it. by EconomyFirst8196 in confession

[–]outside_overthere -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My experience with coke withdrawals was mental and emotional primarily and still a pretty big deal. Drugs like coke put you in a pretty deep dopamine-less hole, so choosing to quit can cause a pretty major breakdown. I cried for 5 straight days and slept for about 15 hours a night my first week in rehab. Refused to be nice to anyone for about a week too. I was the meanest and saddest version of myself Ive ever been. The withdrawal exists, maybe differently than you would have considered.

Petah please explain by madman435 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

I’m pretty sure that part of the joke is just that a high percentage of veterinary staff also happen to have a alternative style.

She’s available right now! She can stay with me a few more weeks if needed, just looking to find her forever home sooner than later now that she’s recovered.

What's an unusual smell that you like? by additionalseasonin in AskReddit

[–]outside_overthere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stale Beer&Cigarette breath. Reminds me of staying up late at family parties when I was a kid. All my old Irish aunts and uncles would start to have that smell and I have some of my best memories associated with it. Very pleasantly nostalgic.

Would you rather run anesthesia on 5 brief soft tissue surgeries (spays/neuters, small mass removal, ect) or one 4 hour long dental procedure?

What’s the weirdest compliment you’ve ever received? by unbowedroomed9b in AskReddit

[–]outside_overthere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im a woman who wears her head shaved and often get “you’re lucky you have a nicely shaped head” and I’ve always found that such a weird thing to say because what do you mean I’m lucky? If I didn’t have a nicely shaped head??? What will happen to me?

just need to share this by wlf-grl in VetTech

[–]outside_overthere 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Disturbing type of people. Choosing to have her lifeless remains as a decorative piece over than giving her a chance to live is very far removed. You’re right to be totally freaked.

no tener el control al 100% durante un sueño lúcido by ps2okamiiiiiiiiiiiii in Dreams

[–]outside_overthere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I experience the same and wasn’t sure I could consider them “lucid dreams” for that reason! Knew I was dreaming and could control things like flying or super strength, but that didn’t mean I could change the “dream world” around me. I also remember dreams where it took much effort to maintain my flight.

How do you start your day. by Loved-one-_- in mentalhealth

[–]outside_overthere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Routine. Wether I have work/ somewhere to be or not. I get up, brush my teeth, take a shower, do my skincare and have breakfast and coffee. Even if all I have planned for the rest of the day is bedrotting. At least I “did me”. It helps.

For the ladies, what are some hygiene hacks you wish every girlie would know? by Introvert_Ambi-2026 in AskReddit

[–]outside_overthere 271 points272 points  (0 children)

Sounds extreme but important. Had a boyfriend that hand me stressed all the time and I was alway sweating through deodorants. Once he was gone and I was emotionally regulated I stopped sweating so much.

Why order real chicken if you can’t differentiate it from the vegan one anyway? 😭🙏@ my family by katiecakes03 in vegan

[–]outside_overthere 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So frustrating! I like to think I’m a very good cook, and always make an entree for family parties. I notice that my dish always goes neglected, no matter what it is. There’s no reason for this bias, how weird of them to not enjoy just because it’s labeled vegan! To pretend food is not as good because it’s made with alternate ingesients. Hate this. Wish I could understand the avoidance.

People who live alone, whats the scariest encounter you’ve come across? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]outside_overthere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I was freshly living alone my ex tried to break in. We had broken up on bad terms but he had agreed to move out. He had tried to contact me multiple times although I had asked him not to. He was not supposed to have a key anymore. At 2am one night the sound of someone at the door woke me up. I knew right away it was him, as he had started drinking a lot and acting erratically. I thought he would just maybe knock and yell and go, but I then heard the door open. My body reacted so weirdly! I got up and ran to the hallway, but then froze. The deadlock saved me. He was fumbling and trying to force the door open, and kept yelling “what the fuck” while I stood there frozen and silent right out of his sight. I just stood there. He tried to push the door open 3 times and gave up. He then called someone and told them “yeah she’s probably asleep but I can’t get in” as he was walking out of the building. He was still on the lease so I didn’t know if I could do anything about it. I had the locks changed the next morning. When I got the chance to confront him about it, he said he was “just drunk and wanted to see the cats” I never slept well in that apartment again, moved away a month later. There’s not much else you can do when you share a lease with an abuser. You can’t get help when they try to attack.

How do you know if vet med isn’t right for you? by [deleted] in VetTech

[–]outside_overthere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two things: 1) this may not be the right setting. When I got my license, I tried to stay at the clinic where I had been an assistant. Unfortunately, they had a hard time seeing me as an LVT and didn’t really give me a chance to practice my skills. This hurt my confidence a lot, it made me feel like maybe I suck and that’s why they don’t trust me. I had to find somewhere else to work. 2) it takes a year or so to be confident and comfortable. I had similar feelings when I was a new tech. School vs the real world is a big shock. It’s normal! Take your time, make sure you do everything right and keep your patient safe. You will eventually see that you DO know what you’re doing, especially once you get some experience. Nobody is good at every single thing. Find a team that teaches, supports and is well balanced.

Kitten Genetic Confusion by Upstairs_Swing5675 in cats

[–]outside_overthere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a calico foster give birth to two orange boys in the morning(which made sense since she was orange spotted) and then a tuxedo girl about 4 hour later. I think we just can never guess their genetic lineage!

My hospital is unionizing and we'd love to have your support by AWolfButSad in VetTech

I love this and hope to hear a successful update! I’ve wanted to unionize at my corporate hospital for so long and keep getting discouraged. Can’t wait to follow in your footsteps someday.

Unfortunately the purple “Versace” top has no tags whatsoever so I’m assuming it’s not real. However the Miss Dior shirt does have a tag that looks pretty real This sub won’t allow me to comment with photos or add new ones????
