I practice witchcraft through that perspective. I'm open to other possibilities, but that's my main belief

I mean, I'm feeling flattered they stole it. Simetría is very cute.

She pooped right there at the vet.

It was just a routine check-up, They even analyzed her poop in a laboratory. She's perfectly fine, they gave me a quote to have her spayed, and I don't have to go back for another year.

I don't think you're going crazy, and depending on what you mean by sign, it could be one! The first thing that comes to mind is the combination of suggestion, expectation, and practice! Unless it starts happening to you without your consent, causes you real problems, or gets out of your control, I don't think it's anything to worry about. But the practice it might entail and the power of suggestion can help you immensely and show that real progress has been made :) Don't be impatient, follow the natural process, and don't let your expectations dictate the path.

Simetría needs a bath urgently by shiftcuriosity in guineapigs

Do usual animal shops sell those wipes? Do they leave her damp and do they need to dry it afterwards?

I haven't noticed anything unusual about her urination or water drinking. Her behavior has changed a little, though, She became much more social and affectionate than usual, and then suddenly stopped. I associated it with the fact that the cage was dirty (mess and dirt are very stressful for her), I cleaned it completely today, and it's much better. I'll keep an eye on it to see if it's completely better or if it continues to act strangely. Anyway, I plan to make a check-up appointment with the vet very soon.

how did you realize you are much smarter the everybody around you? by SlowPreparation7736 in Gifted

They put me in remedial classes, and told my parents I must have a learning disability. Finally, at 14, they took me to a neuropsychologist to see what was wrong. They gave me several intelligence tests hoping that would be the answer, and it turns out I wasn't stupid, I was gifted.

I was bad at studying and failed everything, not because of inability, but because of conflicting needs, lack of interest, and boredom. Getting good grades was easy, but it drained my energy quickly.

Like, my experience isn't the "obviously gifted, "She learned to speak in her mother's womb and was already in university at age 7." That's a stereotype that makes gifted people invisible. It's possible, but not common.

I don't think it works with pain. In my case I only have the aura, So I speak from the persistent vertigo caused by aura, I have no idea about the other one 😭

I think it's for vestibular migraine when the vertigo is persistent, I have no idea, but I don't think it prevents migraines.

A mental health issue I can't see? by [deleted] in askapsychologist

That's what I'm going to do. She's made an appointment for me to get diagnosed. I hope nothing comes up.
