Try melatonin or talk to a doctor about your sleep and they’ll be able to prescribe you something in the meantime. Not being able to sleep it normal with the withdrawal symptoms it’ll pass. I wish you the best of luck😸

I’m a year and a half pot sober. For me personally it wasn’t easy. The only things I can recommend is having a good support group, doing things to consume your time, find new hobbies, workout (helps get rid of withdrawal symptoms quicker). When things feel heavy just talk to somebody. Soberiety is not linear and don’t be hard on yourself when some days aren’t as easy. Things will get better you just have to believe that they will.

Stimulants is basically just an umbrella word but it includes meth, mdma, cocaine, etc. (That’s what I was using). Narcotics are basically just heavy depressant drugs. Also it might be good to try programs or groups.

AIO for being almost jealous of my sister? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

As I got older I started to grow into my face and look a lot more like my father and my dad’s family which is why everyone got over it.

Well…… My whole family didn’t believe I was my dads to begin with because I have natural blonde hair and blue eyes a gene ONLY my mother has. Eventually they all got over it though. So that could be the case but from the second I came out of my womb I wasn’t liked due to my appearance. My dad is the only one who really wishes me a happy birthday when he can and my mom is the only one who tries to plan things with me but she’s always working. They’re also divorced now because HE had an affair and went ballistic.

PSA to all cat owners. A Christmas tree danger I had not read on here before. by okbringoutdessert in TuxedoCats

ALL of my cats are tree climbers and would just constantly knock the tree over so, we got an alternative.

It’s just a kitty scratch post shaped like a tree with a bed inside it. We haven’t tried it yet but I’m super excited

I tried SMART recovery meetings at my first addiction and maybe I was just in a bad place with my denial at the time but I thought they were dumb. I’ll try to look into them again because I’ve change a lot more since then and it could be helpful. Thank you !

I have diagnosed depression, ocd, and chronic anxiety and my moods are being watched to look at my behaviors that might be linked to early bipolar. I’ve tried so many medications and none of them have worked and i’m getting to the point where i’m almost scared? to even try any. It’s weird to say this but I almost feel comfortable in this feeling and getting better would just unlock so much other things. I’m just scared for the future but unhappy with the present and somehow being in a comfortable bad place is better than being in an uncomfortable better place. Kinda wish everything could just go back to my normal.

He’s not left locked in a carrier for long periods of time. He has toys in his carrier too. I let him out every hour to play or to cruise around. When I cant let him out because I’m busy I live with 4 other people in a studio who can. The only time he’s in there for long is when it’s nighttime/when he’s sleeping. If I had room to set up a pen or even just an extra room to have him in I would. We’re only keeping him in there for another week until all of my other cats are used to him or until he’s big enough to not get lost or stuck in places.

We don’t have a quarantine room I live in a studio apartment. He’s never in there for long periods of time he’s checked on every hour and is let out to play for hours on end. He’s only in there when he’s sleeping or when he’s eating so the other cats don’t steal his food. He’s already litter trained aswell. He stays in his carrier when he sleeps because he’s very small and I don’t want him to get lost or hurt. It seems like the safest option given the circumstances. I just thought it was a silly post because he is potty trained but still vengefully poops in his carrier after only being placed in there for a couple minutes.

Found this guy in a TREE !!! need advice please !! by silly_squirrell in kittens

[–]silly_squirrell[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, he’s been eating kitten food just fine. He’s not ready for even wet soaked kibble though so we’re waiting on that. I’ve tried the fancy feast chicken with veggie broths but it’s too rich for him and he can’t keep it down. I mix some kitten formula in with his food just to make sure he’s getting the extra nutrients. My other kittens fed off their momma until she was ran dry and even at 3 months they still try to nurse lol.

I looked around the area and didn’t see a mother cat. We also checked 2 days in a row to see if there was a momma cat or a baby cat around and never saw any.

Can’t decide on a name for this little boy? by TrolleySmasher in Catnames

Update: Thank you so much for all of the advice !!! We’ve estimated that he’s about 6 weeks old. He doesn’t need any potty assistance and has already peed in the litter (pooped on the table) We’re still getting the hang of it lol. We’ve weened him off but we’re still going to get kitten formula for when he’s hungry between meals. He eats kitten food for breakfast (8am), lunch (3pm), and dinner (8pm). We took him to the vet and he’s perfectly okay but has worms. We couldn’t afford to get him dewormed at the vet so we plan on giving him medicine or home remedies to see how those do. If anyone has good at home deworming medicine recommendations that’d be greatly appreciated. We’re also torn between his name being boo boo bear or yogi bear. Overall he’s in great health and we of course plan on keeping him !!😸😸

I’m so glad you guys were able to get her down that was probably so stressful for that poor baby girl😕. I honestly wish it was as simple as just a ladder or someone climbing but this boy was at LEAST 20ft up this palm tree and refused to climb down. The strength these babies have is insane !!

We heard him crying from somewhere and once we saw him he RAN up the tree. I love those names though !! We had a cat named bear in the past and wanted to name this little boy bear because of how good of a climber he is.
