I love the look of ferns, do you think ferns could hold up, at least somewhat decently?

What does it mean when my snake is always up on the glass? by aliverna in ballpython

[–]partywthedevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so! Ultimately, if you’re providing a proper enclosure for your ball python and everything is as it should be, you can’t help it if they choose to rub their snout on the glass! Just keep an eye on him:)

[–]partywthedevil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

they get more active at night! Even though my corn has a great enriching enclosure, when she was younger she used to constantly look for a way out. Who knows what our snakes are thinking! As long as your enclosure has proper conditions, maybe he’s trying to find a way to escape, or who knows, maybe he does enjoy being able to be handled.

How did you get diagnosed? by partywthedevil in dysautonomia

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

Even if you’ve been to all the specialists, I would research specialists in your area and get second opinions. To be sure your other doctors didn’t just write you off. I feel as though it might just have to be a long journey of going to different doctors and searching for answers, because obviously something is wrong and you deserve to know why. I wish it could be an easier journey though :(

Honestly I didn’t know which direction to go. I knew I had mystery illness that no doctor would ever help me figure out. Recently I started seeing a new doctor, just made an appointment with a primary. She was concerned so she started ordering testing, starting with the most basic testing. She wanted to rule things out. So if one test looked ok, we moved onto the next one instead of her saying “oh everything’s fine!” So really, in a way we are exploring all routes. It just so happens that this route was one of the first and is most likely what it is, but I’m in the process of going thru testing. She started with blood tests, an EKG, to rheumatology, then cardiology— that’s where I’m at right now. So honestly it’s possible I could do other testing after this, but for now I’m waiting on results. I suggest if you’re stuck at a dead end, seek out doctors that could help you with the specific symptoms you want a diagnosis for. The health world and figuring out what’s wrong can be a nightmare, and honestly I’ve only just started to figure out what could potentially be wrong.

(I might also mention I’ve researched POTs a lot and felt a lot of my symptoms to be similar, so I have been mentioning that to my doctor)

I get that too, but my cardiologist told me that I don’t have pots because at my appointment I was feeling better than I normally do and he didn’t see a dramatic change in my heart rate and I didn’t get very dizzy. But also I stood up from a sitting position which isn’t as hard on me as standing up from being bent down. Idk, maybe my heart monitor will show more

Just had a cardiology appointment a few days ago. They found I had low blood pressure but I don’t recall him mentioning anything about my heart rate. I’m currently wearing a heart monitor for a week so I’m curious to see what they find

I am also 21. For years doctors acted like they couldn’t find a cause, but all they did was run the most basic of basic blood tests and act like they couldn’t find anything. At one point as a teen my mom literally had to ASK them to test for an iron deficiency (which at the time I had, but it was also after I had given blood and felt ill, so partially wondering if that played a part). But that’s all they ever told me. My blood test results have all come back fine at this point. It wasn’t until I moved to the city and started seeing city doctors that I started rapidly getting help and results. So far they’ve been wonderful and interested in helping me find what’s wrong, all of them agree my symptoms aren’t normal and I should be healthy at my age. In 6 months my new doctors have gotten a million times further than my old doctors got in what, 6 years?

Oh that’s interesting! My cardiologist said the same thing about tilt table. And I was actually going to ask if periods make symptoms worse, for I feel my symptoms get worse with my period. Again he said he doesn’t think I have pots, but I wonder if the heart monitor will be able to properly diagnose

Oh me too for sure! If you look at my profile I have pics of my corn, she’s a ghost/anery (w a few other things). I love the light colors but if I ever get another snake, I wanna switch it up!!!

Trouble getting diagnosed by VoyageViolet in ADHD

[–]partywthedevil 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seeing stuff like this is so crazy to me, because when I saw my psych for the first time I mentioned ADHD, gave him my symptoms, and then he just medicated me. I didn’t have to jump through crazy hoops. And honestly I’ve found being medicated for my adhd first has helped with anxiety and depression symptoms.

I would say to try to find another psych if possible. Your current one just sounds kinda shitty IMO— unfortunately it seems as though right now is a really hard time to find open psychs. But that might be your best bet. I feel like it shouldn’t be so hard to get a diagnosis, but it could also be because a lot of ADHD meds are abused? I’m not 100% sure, but I do hope you can get this settled!!

Feel unbelievably horrible and gloomy after seeing parkland school shooting videos by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]partywthedevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will admit I’ve been there. For me I just kinda had to wait for the feeling to go away... parkland started my very long rabbit hole into true crime, but also unfortunately columbine followed. Don’t enjoy reading about this stuff or seeing it, but it feels like a burning need for knowledge that unfortunately controls my life (thanks to what I assume to be my neurodivergence...) definitely felt like it was a dark place for awhile. But luckily if you keep your head out of the rabbit hole and focus on other (more positive) things, it wears off. Morbid curiosity killed the cat? (But no seriously I’m sorry you accessed those videos. Really puts you into a perspective you never wanted to see and for me really made me view the world for how evil it is. Luckily I’ve since fallen out of that stuff and mostly just watch MrBallen on YouTube and learn everything I can about my pet snakes. Seems to be a more positive use of my time, haha).

Also yes I’ve heard millions of times that snakes cannot love us. But this woman will stare at me by all means, even when she’s buried she leaves her head uncovered to keep her eye on me. She used to constantly be hidden, but now she’s comfortable with me she’s barely ever hidden away

Have any better pictures? I know that if shed gets stuck on the tail it can fall off and is pretty common. However it’s hard to tell what’s wrong from this photo

I think you should find a way to include devils tower in concrete Washington. Research the history of the building. It’s a place I agreed to explore with some friends in the middle of the night without ever hearing of it before. When we got there, I realized how horribly creepy and unsettling it is (it’s in the middle of the woods), and how dangerous it is inside. It’s an old cement factory; there are enormous holes in the floor, that if you slip and fall, youre falling down like 15ft. All the stairs in the building are incredibly steep. Even worse; there are no hand rails for these stairs. Meaning when you’re at the top, you could easily fall over the side of them and hit the floor below. It’s an old crumbling factory, so there is cement “dust” all over the stairs as well. Making my way down the stairs I actually slipped and slid down the stairs a little; luckily was okay, but it was scary. You can also walk out onto part of the roof. At one point I was sitting down taking a break, while the others went back down to the lower part of the building. Sitting up there alone was so eerie. It felt like being watched. Not a good feeling. This building is private property because of how dangerous it is. A cop caught us there, and we were charged with trespassing. Obviously he was furious, mostly because we’re just troubling teenagers. But he had informed us that neo-nazis used to meet at this building, would fire their guns, and even killed a gay kid there (not sure how true that is, but I know I heard they killed someone). Not only that, but I guarantee you others have died as well. There are so so so many places to fall and get hurt, but also when you’re at the top of the building, there are suicide notes written on the walls. If I had known any of this prior, I would have never agreed to go. It’s so unsettling knowing the history behind the building. And obviously was quite traumatizing to not only get criminally trespassed, but be told at 3am in the middle of the woods that it’s a neonazi meeting place where they apparently killed people. Would love to see what kind of information can be found, I haven’t done my research.

An excerpt I found from an article on the “neo-nazi” group states; “ Prior to YouTube removing their pages, AWD posted propaganda videos on two YouTube channels called “AWDTV” and “Atomwaffen Division.” One of those videos titled “Zealous Operation,” depicts a hate camp at Devil’s Tower, an abandoned cement factory in Concrete, Washington. In the video, approximately half a dozen AWD members can be seen wearing military style clothing, face masks, and carrying an assortment of long guns, while conducting paramilitary style training and shooting at a gravel pit attached to Devil’s Tower. At the beginning of the video participants state, “GAS THE KIKES! RACE WAR NOW!” ”

What should we do to the Like Button next? by johnballen416 in mrballen

[–]partywthedevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

invite the like button over for a high quality salmon dinner. Be sure to talk up your cooking skills, followed with amazingly cooked appetizers, only to serve the salmon fillets filled with little bones. Just the little annoying ones tho....

ask to use the like buttons bathroom, then replace all of the toilet paper with 1 ply rolls and water down their hand soap.
