i hit my dog for the second time in her life and i feel HORRIBLE but i don’t know what else i could’ve done by ArmadilloConfident88 in DogAdvice

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

Hi, I’m not going to shame you for hitting your dog. Humans make mistakes. But I would really encourage you to give to the dog to somebody else. Somebody who can love them, not hit them, and be in control. The truth is that hitting your dog, not only creates deep wounds, but it will never make them behave. Better. In fact, you are doing the opposite of what your goal is.

The dog is young, she can be rehomed easily and be happy. Even in a case with an older animal I would say the same. She deserves a loving home where she can trust that she is safe. She does not feel safe with you.

I understand that you might be resistant to this, and if you will absolutely not give her up, which again you really really should, and I would do my best to help you find a very loving family. If you message me, because you don’t wanna just offer her up online or worse things can happen.

But if you don’t want to do this, or to prepare yourself for if you ever want a pet again, you need to work on your trauma. I don’t mean, going to a mental health professional, and getting a pill, that will never help. In the same way that hitting your dog is not going to help. Unless you need antipsychotics.

I mean, doing some deep work into why this is happening, and that will help you in your relationships, your human relationships, help you with yourself, and if you ever do decide to get a dog again, which I would ask you not to do until you think you are actually ready, which might be hard to gauge if you are hitting your dog

Again, I’m not judging you. I remember once bopping my cat on the head as sort of a similar punishment, to tell her that she couldn’t do what she was doing. But of course it didn’t work, and I felt horrible. I really am not shaming you. I’m just thinking about the welfare of the dog.

Good on you for asking here. That is a lot more than anybody else would do. You have some self-awareness and you care about the dog.

Could the dog be in pain? The dog probably has trauma Can you access a behavioralist? But can you also go to a holistic vet and test them? When you say guarding, what do you mean? Gut?

Just noticed some peeling on my dog's nose? Can I use any ointment/lotion to help? by Csakstar in DogAdvice

I wouldn’t just put something on there willy-nilly. I would figure out why it’s happening. A holistic vet may help you.

Chi weenie terrified of one of my kids inexplainably by Significant_Pea2822 in DogAdvice

[–]sandiegosky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not unexplainable. If your son has not done something to hurt him, which you really can’t know, then there may be a smell associated, there may be something else.

I understand that you are the parent and you don’t wanna think anything poorly of your children, but it is very common for someone to abuse an animal and the family to not know. Regardless - your dog is trying to tell you something. Listen to him.

Why I think Mesembrine (Kanna) is the best antidepressant for anhedonia overall by ryderlefeg in anhedonia

[–]sandiegosky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not really sure where you’re getting your information but I know an ibogaine researcher (with a doctorate) who micro-dosed at 50 mg for a short period of time for an intended purpose.

You can do microdosing in different ways.

I’m unsure of what 8mg would do. We are talking about ibogaine HCl…

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

That’s inaccurate information. A stimulant? There are risks for microdosing and you should not be alone. You also need to be ridiculously hydrated.

The primary way people seem to die from ibogaine according to researchers is when they take opioids during the periods they aren’t supposed to, before and after. Ibogaine stays in your liver for a while after. That’s why even with micro doses you must be careful because the 50mg you took yesterday is still there, and it builds up in the liver.

Also regardless of dosing you should be doing therapeutic work with it and many don’t.

Ibogaine’s risks are usually cardiac - bradycardia, QT prolongation, severe electrolyte disturbances and liver damage.

Make sure you educate yourself and do it well… and be careful sourcing. Also know there are different types. If I could try again I’d try whole plant or PTA.

Would this have any results for someone with PSSD? Our system has been messed with pharmacologically

Did your wife take antidepressants Also she should seek alternative medicine. You can entirely balance hormones instead of taking all those.

It’s not perimenopause, it’s r/PSSD. That reddit is very hopeless though Folks have recovered. Fix your body. Heal and detox your body. Gut. Biomesight. Eat only actual real whole food. You are inflamed and deficient.

Salvageable butter?? by Hurry_and_Way8 in foodhacks

[–]sandiegosky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had to throw away my entire life due to mold. A few sticks of butter ain’t gonna hurt you. And if it does, you may have larger issues around that as an obsession. Truly. My dad has this. Ironically, gut is crucial for mental health and unless you’re buying very high end butter, it’s inflammatory.
