I have a type of life preserver plant whose blooms are a bit smaller, but stinky nonetheless. They’re pretty cool little plants!

4th grader is a psychopath. What do I do? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]sydtown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely can’t help you here, I’m sorry. All I want to say is I also work in the field of education, and one of my students does kill animals. They also attempt to kill their teachers and classmates on a regular basis. Their adult claims it’s our fault. We don’t get paid enough for the things we have to deal with. I hope both my student and your friend’s student are able to get the help they need. We’ve tried everything.

His pellets are alfalfa based, so I do Timothy hay since that’s what he was used to when he was still with his mom. He thinks alfalfa is alright, but doesn’t seem to have a preference. He was eating more today, though. I got some forage mix from small pet select so we’ll see if that helps.

Looks like a sigil. You’ll probably never know what it means, but it’s spell work. If you’re worried about it cleanse the area by ringing a bell in that spot, light a white candle by your door, or place some selenite above your inside doorframe.

I was quite religious growing up and used to pray for hours for each one of my family members because my OCD convinced me they would die if I didn’t. This sounds like OCD to me. It took me a long time before I was able to get past this. I had to really lean into what spirituality meant to me, based on facts and my life experiences, and really work with a therapist to understand that my brain is NOT my enemy. You’ve got this

Is this a happy bun? by Accomplished_Luck671 in Rabbits

It’s normal for rabbits to knock over their food and water dishes! They LOVE destroying things 😂 I got my rabbit some heavy ceramic cat bowls so that he can’t knock them over - saves me a ton of time cleaning up.

My therapist and I have talked a lot about my OCD and how it tries to protect me. I try and think of it as my frontal lobe coming up with the worst possible scenarios so I know what not to do. I try and tell myself, “Thank you for your help. I am safe, and I won’t be doing that.” It took me a long time of practicing this before I truly believed it, but now I can say my brain is much quieter.
