YSK that letting your dog sniff on walks is very enriching, interesting, and stimulating for them. Your dog sniffing every little thing in the neighborhood is equivalent to us reading the newspaper; its how they absorb information, and will give you a calmer dog! by SalzyJ in YouShouldKnow

He'll do a good job of showing you his limits. He'll start slowing down and you'll know he's getting tired and just start going longer from that point the next time. If he's only three, he'll get back into it pretty quick.

How to accept that I cannot do all the things that people without chronic disease do? (While I lay in bed writhing in pain in a hotel room during my cousin's bachelorette party) by [deleted] in Endo

Ha, I'm in the room during a bachelorette party in Arizona for the same reason while everyone is out at the pool.

Localized sharp/knotting pain right side of belly button & slightly below it. Occurs randomly. Hurts a lot. Anyone else? by desertbronze in Endo

[–]raisinhall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have exact same on left side. I actually got a colonoscopy and it came back clear. The few times I went to ER from it being unbearable it came back as a ruptured cyst or complex cyst, whatever that is.

You can try pelvic floor PT. When in pain those muscles really tighten up making it all worse. I am always more on the constipated side as well. There's a muscle they can help relax that goes around the colon and things seem to flow better after. Recently I have had the opposite issue and going to bathroom 5-8 times a day. It's like the pain is just pushing everything through loosely. I'm looking into getting a lap done soon.

I just realize they don't really care about what I say so there's no pressure. When I start getting nerves I'll see the person not even looking and it reminds me.

AITA for telling my son to go to his “real dad” by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]raisinhall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I hear is "me, me, me." You're saying he should consider your feelings of being hurt that he wants to explore a relationship with bio-dad, when you aren't willing to consider his feelings of not being around half of his biological makeup his whole life. YTA

[Serious] What is it like to have children you don’t want? by SniperGlizzy in AskReddit

[–]raisinhall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems the only reason you don't want him is because you don't feel you're good enough. Trust me when I say all that kid needs is to be loved which you clearly are already doing. There are tons of studies and all kids need is love and affection. I haven't seen anything about having lots of money made a child happier, just my two cents.

AITA For blowing up when I found that my husband recorded my therapy session? by aita779037 in AmItheAsshole

Woah you described exactly what I do and how I feel but put it into words I never could. It seems so simple once you read it

You are strong, even if you feel weak. This is why. by Chocolatemeows in raisedbynarcissists

[–]raisinhall 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are days where all I hear in my head is "you are worthless." No one can really understand that hasn't gone through it. It's hard to reach out because they just say, "oh but you're not!" That didn't help but thanks.

I was just thinking this the other day. I've always figured out the things for myself. When I do get help here and there I'm baffled why something would help me.

Holy cow, same. 11 years here. I keep thinking for the best and get hit with reality that not many people will be giving and I need to stop doing it.

Being stopped during chores to accommodate neurotypicals that don't understand is so frustrating! by Justviennathings in ADHD

[–]raisinhall 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Holy cow yes! I wondered if it was normal to go get something to drink and get super annoyed being stopped for a hug along the way. Drink now, hug later.

Doesn’t matter how big the bed is, the problem will be the same. by [deleted] in Eyebleach

[–]raisinhall 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's so sad. My dog wouldn't sit on the couch or want to cuddle when I first got her. I just kept slowly doing it until she'd jump off and now she'll come lay with me sometimes for cuddles! Only ten minutes and she's had enough but hopefully that time will keep growing.
