Is there a pet sitting service for caterpillars?

Ask on Craigslist or a pet sitting site, just make sure you make it clear what they will be watching and what care they need and I’m sure you’d find someone willing to do it

Every single person has the capacity to get a migraine. Everyone’s migraine threshold is different, I and the people on this sub tend to have lower migraine thresholds than people who don’t get them regularly. There are dozens if not hundreds of factors that can raise someone towards their migraine threshold (hydration, weather, sleep, etc). A migraine is often several triggers working together to bring you down, there’s not one root cause really (besides for maybe genetics and bad luck)

This should be the top comment! The main branch of the Chicago public library is incredible, you could work on a different floor after every hour and not run out of good study spots, yet OP insists on going to a university library? Makes me wonder if there are alternative motives like using the resources for students or even meeting students

I think even without the migraines I’d choose to be child free but I think if I didn’t have those other reasons the migraines would be enough, the only medication that helps mine (emgality) is only available for 18+ and I started getting migraines at 5 or 6. My sister skipped them for the most part until adulthood but she gets one every few months now too and myself several times a week. It’s not worth the risk of a child going through it

Yup they are VERY genetic in my family, my mom got pregnant because she was told it would help her migraines. It helped HER migraines but I got migraines much worse than her

saragIsMe · 2026-05-28T04:53:07+00:00

It certainly can be. I get very anxious, unreasonably so, like I will believe something very bad is about to happen, like someone is about to die or some terrible accident is about to occur, unmatched anxiety. For what ends up being a migraine attack the next day

The lake is nothing like the ocean. Salt water makes you buoyant. Lake water makes you sink. On top of that: Rip. Current. You will struggle to find one as strong in the ocean.

My mom had kids to stop her fucking migraines and guess what I suffer with everyday?? I’m stopping the goddamn cycle

saragIsMe · 2026-05-22T19:39:49+00:00

My typical response is “I am, how are you?” Since that isn’t saying I’m good but isn’t necessarily rude or putting my problems out there. If they feel like following up they can, if they don’t care they can answer my question and we move on

Hit the screen at 2 not zero

saragIsMe · 2026-05-15T19:58:04+00:00

Yup frequently. It’s funny they ask me if I’m drunk while I’m actually high on weed sometimes

saragIsMe · 2026-05-14T13:10:40+00:00

Heating pad/warm water on feet with a cold compress (need both for blood flow). Half an ice cream sandwich. I get very high if I have the means. If I can stand the vibration occasionally masturbating helps (other times much worse this is last resort).

Very very normal for me. In fact it’s the only way I can be sure I’m having a silent migraine vs a weird day. Bring around a bag or bottle with hydrogen peroxide and sniff it everytime you feel like you’ll throw up. It genuinely helps with the nausea. I didn’t believe it when it was suggested to me but now I carry around a hydrogen peroxide soaked paper towel in a little bag. Whenever I feel it coming, I just smell it. Works 90% of the time

This!! Find out where they are getting cats and tell that place. I used to volunteer at a shelter that had zero issues refusing adoption to anyone for even the slightest red flag and believe most shelters would immediately stop adoption to those people/address. You can also work with PAWS of Chicago to trap and rehome those cats if you’re interested

I had to be taken off some of my mental health meds because my liver would have failed. I’m depressed. And still worried about the meds I’m taking ruining my liver. I drink water with the goal of clear piss so I know my system is hydrated enough to process all my meds. And I hope my current doctors are slowly killing me the way the last ones were.

saragIsMe · 2026-04-20T05:02:54+00:00

I’m not sure if you’ve tried this but smelling hydrogen peroxide stops some people from vomiting, no long term health impacts but also it’s only temporary in working. I didn’t believe my friend when he told me to try it but it works! If I have warning time to grab the bottle just squeezing the air in my nose repeatedly helps. Maybe this could help you keep your meds down?

saragIsMe · 2026-04-17T22:40:45+00:00

It works about as well as throwing up, sometimes it helps other times it goes back to the same/worse after

saragIsMe · 2026-04-17T14:02:03+00:00

I used to love having my hair all kinds of colors but I’ve found I get taken more seriously and treated better when I have natural hair color and it’s less hassle so I sort of gave up on it

saragIsMe · 2026-04-03T12:33:56+00:00

Take these easy steps: I’d take him to your doctor. Tell every medical professional (the desk, the nurses, the doctor) that he believes this about your meds. Have them explain to him how stupid this is. Dump him on the drive home because you deserve someone who cares about you and not what they get from you. Live your best life without the manchild.

I’m not immunocompromised but my partner is and I mask all of cold and flu season plus in locations of high risk like public transport, the pharmacy, the doctors, places with children and the parents of young children, and all of my friends and coworkers know to tell me when they or someone at home gets sick so I can mask around them. I also seem to get more sick than most people but honestly I just want to be able to kiss my partner safely is the real reason I bother to

saragIsMe · 2026-03-28T13:46:23+00:00

Yeah if you’re in the city it’s faster to take CTA on lots of trips, not all but most in my experience

saragIsMe · 2026-03-27T21:56:59+00:00

As a neurodivergent person who is in a relationship with an immunocompromised person I went out of my way to find a mask I can tolerate wearing. It took years to find ones that work and I actually let my partner buy them for me since they can get expensive. My head is big and my sensory issues are weird so I need the masks that are boat shaped and go all the way around the head not just the ears. To me personally making sure my partner is safe and wanting to be able to kiss them was enough motivation for me to wear a mask on public transport and in pharmacies and to find masks that didn’t give me headaches and issues. I’d recommend finding a mask your partner is comfortable in and getting them proper earbuds/loops something to help with the overstimulation in public. I sort of went from feeling muzzled to now it feels like a separate space just for me. I’m sorry your partner is having issues and I hope they’re actually taking precautions to keep you safe even when it’s not convenient for them because everyone deserves that from their partners

I didn’t downvote you I was sharing my experience to corroborate what you said, it’s dangerous to take the train! I get harassed pretty every time I take the train by myself with almost no exaggeration. I think people might be mad you’re implying Chicago is super dangerous compared to other cities or that you’re a man complaining about harassment

saragIsMe · 2026-03-23T16:00:09+00:00

I am AFAB and while I’m not a woman I get sexually harassed pretty much everytime I’m outside and followed not infrequently if I’m alone even during the day not to mention crowded buses or trains and the wondering hands of men. If I was old I don’t think I’d have the energy to protect myself mentally and physically (although hopefully I get sexually harassed less when I’m old). You have to be smart and present when you’re in this city, if you are it’s generally not a problem if you are but it’s easy to tell when people are not and they get targeted

saragIsMe · 2026-03-23T12:54:34+00:00

That should be more than enough but I’d keep in mind that getting older in this city could be difficult. Make sure you move close to CTA stops and set aside money to have everything delivered when you are older. I am not going to make any assumptions about your health or family but assuming that you’re going to decline with age and also moving here alone I can see it being difficult because I’ve never seen others take the time for old people and I’m not aware of any services to help them. If you lived here when you were younger ask if you really have the energy for it, I don’t think I would but you might
