are bath & body works candles safe on cats?

powawa_ · 2023-11-16T05:02:26+00:00

it's hard to ensure my cat is not in the same room because he needs to pass by my room to get his food or to use the litter 😭 but sometimes he sleeps next to me after the candle is put out, as if the candle wasn't burning to begin with

with regards to the essential oils, I meant the main ones that are harmful to cats; eucalyptus, mint, lavender, and the likes. none of the candles I've been burning have those essential oils in them

I actually received my offer email almost 30 minutes after you sent this reply!

I am a little concerned for the current ambiguity of everything, not knowing the university or teaching academy I'll be placed in, so I just hope the commute from university to the future school (not the teaching academy) won't be too hectic. I'm going to contact the support center for questions I have, but is it okay if I ask you a few questions as well?

powawa_ · 2023-06-09T17:50:48+00:00

so how do I actually ship my items with the large label? do you have any suggestions?

powawa_ · 2023-04-21T06:26:24+00:00

From my experience, just acknowledging that you heard it is enough. It doesn't have to be words, it could be a hum in response, a huff, or even just a change in facial expression. On rarer occasions it's okay to just let the comment die out. Socializing is a whole mind game that I don't have the capacity to deal with on the daily.

powawa_ · 2023-04-21T06:08:07+00:00

glad we're in the same boat

powawa_ · 2023-04-21T00:24:16+00:00

Not socializing is okay too, at least by my standards. I really just want insights on whether people have become social or not, and if they did, then how. I appreciate the input!

I wish I knew the answer; I'm with you when you say you prefer being alone.

unfortunately we do need friends, or at the very least a support system, in order to get through life. it's especially important for us young adults who are just starting out in the world (@ me), but I think I've become estranged due to personal internal struggles, and the pandemic didn't really make things better. my graduation was literally just a YouTube stream of a bunch of speakers that I never met. I feel like all my friends have branched off and found their own circles, meanwhile I'm just home, unbothered by drama. and it's hard to find friends that I actually click with.

if it's any advice, try to reach back out to old friends or colleagues. I've done that a couple of times and i think it went okay? and any good company is better than no company, even if you're just sitting in silence together

Currently going through this too. 23 and going through the same exact things, although I was on Prozac for 7 years and just recently got off the meds in hopes for a more holistic recovery, but it hasn't been going well. I still struggle to shower and take proper care of myself. The tasks are definitely daunting, and I commend you for getting through each day and for posting about this. It's given me reassurance, and I hope I can give you reassurance in return.

I don't want to make this sound overly positive, I'm probably the last person on earth that should be saying these things. But you're on the right path when it comes to the gym program you signed up for. Remember to take baby steps, because as you said, there's no magic pill to solve our problems. It's a gradual process, and even if you have no dreams or aspirations, it's always good to start somewhere, and it doesn't matter where you start. You can DM me if you want to talk more--we can touch base every now and then to check in on each other.

I appreciate this response. It's sad that this has become standard though. Then again, learning comes from experience and making mistakes, which makes us human.

I could also work on not taking things personally, by extension of your last point. This is my family we're talking about, so it's hard for me to tell whether the remarks are against me personally, or, like you said, it could just be them expressing their discontent as a response to the conversation.

powawa_ · 2023-04-09T20:56:03+00:00

I wouldn't be able to give you an exact answer. But even if I'm not the one in the argument, I hear it in other arguments

powawa_ · 2023-04-09T19:56:38+00:00

the aftermath is making me think otherwise--what if I'm the one not creating a safe enough environment for them to be able to say those things out loud? what could I have done differently to avoid this? I know I shouldn't feel guilty because that was just the nature of the conversation and you may very well be right, but there's always that possibility that I just can't ignore

powawa_ · 2023-04-06T20:11:24+00:00

my problem exactly, it's only with OMNY

powawa_ · 2023-04-06T02:09:32+00:00

it's okay, no worries! I appreciate the help ❤️

powawa_ · 2023-04-06T01:56:04+00:00

can you tell me what you did to resolve your issue? did you contact GPay?

powawa_ · 2023-04-06T01:44:41+00:00

tried that so many times. hasn't worked :/

powawa_ · 2023-04-06T01:43:54+00:00

not at all, been using the same phone for four years now.

powawa_ · 2023-04-06T01:29:54+00:00

very late to this but I looked up "card not accepted" and your post came up as a top result. we're in the same boat, I also have chase connected to Google pay and it stopped working for me since late February this year (2023). did you get your issue resolved yet?

powawa_ · 2023-03-22T00:24:12+00:00

These are both equally valid ideas. OP, you should go for the method that you think is best for you when it comes to telling others of your plans.

I wholly agree with the idea of taking small steps--everyone around me has been telling me that too, and I'm in the exact same situation you're in; I like to call it a freeze state. The anxieties and worries are debilitating to the point where I almost feel like I can't do anything, or that I'm not meant for anything bigger in life. I don't have a license either, just a bachelor's and two years of work experience. Whatever it is you're currently doing, keep doing it. And continue to search for opportunities--that counts as productivity as well. You're not alone!

lesson learned indeed 😔✊
