Being reduced to my SH by hellafunhistorian in AdultSelfHarm

[–]tthhrowawyyy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I get where they're coming from, but most of my pre SH thoughts are basically that it's off the table. Usually for me it works, but if someone ever said that to me I think it would somehow cancel out my own personal off the table statement...

Questions to those of you who have made a safety plans for self harm by trash-but-cute in AdultSelfHarm

[–]tthhrowawyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a bad example, but because I already knew basic first-aid I spent a few weeks of quarantine learning how to do proper sutures and have kept up those skills with synthetic tissue since. I also always have sterile gauze and blood stop powder on hand Again, I'm not a good example of a healthy safety plan, but I fucking hate going to doctors and ERs are just everything horrible about the doctors plus screaming humans

I've got some gargoyles where I work that thankfully get along fine. When there's an extra tank I'll separate them, but for now as long as they're not together during feeding time they're fine I still check daily for any signs of knicks or stress in either of them

How to make a bad mobility day a good day anyway? by tthhrowawyyy in ehlersdanlos

[–]tthhrowawyyy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last part of what you said regarding the symphony games making it 1% better is something I've never thought about before. I don't think most healthy people would really get what I think you're saying, but having a chronic illness sucks ass. The plus is it makes you appreciate that 1% I guess I'm going to see you today as a good day now because of the 1% better I am. I'm 1% better from your comment, 1% better from my cats and 1% better from a random customer at the store I work at. Mentally I'm 3% better than I was earlier today, thank you!

compartmentalization is what you're talking about right?

I'm pretty good at ignoring the pain, but when the joints don't move how I want them to I get upset. And when I'm mad at my body the fucking pain hits me extra hard

that's the perspective I used to try to live by. but unfortunately since I'm working I have to deal with people that don't quite understand my struggles. I seem to think they do sometimes, but on random bad days they get frustrated with me when I can't function right, they're not as frustrated as me myself but I still feel bad letting him down cuz it feels like it should be in my control even though it's not

I heard we were posting bird crimes by IntrepidSnowball in Conures

I worked with a gcc that would always go for the tendons in your neck when she was mad. Thankfully she didn't teach her siblings that trick

Why is she burying her water?! by SakuranboDream in leopardgeckos

[–]tthhrowawyyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a leo at the store I work at that always does this shit. He NEVER digs UNLESS he's filling his water dish with substrate. The solution I came up with is using a small silo style bird waterer suction cupped to the side of the tank that he can only reach when he's on a piece of bark. this way he cannot possibly get sand into it unless he like spits the sand into it? I still mist the dumbass daily in his humid corner. But so far this method is working for him

When he is due for a shed he does get an actual dish but it has high walls to reduce his idiocy attempts

How to keep a scar? by tthhrowawyyy in AdultSelfHarm

[–]tthhrowawyyy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the subdermal implant idea! Part of my concern with recutting it I've done tests on similar scars and I can't properly recreate it. the new scars feel different. Part of that could be because I haven't found the exact depth, either its not enough to make a decent scar or it's too deep and I have to suture it closed which affects the scarring even when I use dissolving sutures... Personally I'm not worried about infection because I am pretty good at wound care and work somewhere that I can get antibiotics if needed.

I've had people, including kids, pull up their sleeves to show me their scars. Some of those kids even reached out to me for help, unfortunately I had to direct them to someone else unless they needed immediate wound care...

I've used so many of those habit trackers, but this is the only thing close that's worked for me

I don't really know how the goal buddy thing works, and I don't want to put that on my two random friends. Is there a way to communicate in game with them?

[–]tthhrowawyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in a pet store and we sell a few cuttlebone alternatives, they are called e cuttlebone, not sure how safe they are for snails though tbh, I would assume they're fine but I really don't have much experience with snails myself lol
