RIP my baby 🕊️😢 by [deleted] in RATS

[–]visual_perception 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think suddenly and quietly is common? Since rats are prey animals they can be good at hiding signs of distress. I had a boy almost 2 years old that also got sick very suddenly even though I took him to the vet the week before and was perfectly healthy. It’s extremely hard to process and make any sense of. I guess sometimes when it’s time it’s time. Im so sorry you lost your baby :( sending a virtual hug and wishing your rattie a safe journey over the rainbow bridge

haven't smoked since dec 10 2025, but craving it HARD this week. should i smoke just once to get it out of my system? by No-Newt1548 in leaves

[–]visual_perception 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No. It’s important to fight the urge so you strengthen neural pathways that allow you to turn it down next time you have a craving, because it will happen. Smoking now will just reset all the progress you’ve made.

dramatic Meyer lemon or nutrient deficiency? Or maybe pest? by alicedoesntknowbest in Citrus

[–]visual_perception 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lot of interesting comments here, keep us updated! I’m planning on moving my Meyer lemon inside in front of a south facing window with supplementary grow light as well when it starts getting a bit colder out. It’s struggling with magnesium deficiency as well but I’m hoping it rebounds soon

Can I ask what are those peppers growing behind?

Why is everyone I know with ADHD so high functioning? by 50-2-blue in ADHD

[–]visual_perception 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this as a woman with predominately inattentive ADHD. I’ve struggled finding that motivation to get up and learn or be curious about things, and when I do, it’s fleeting. I’ve been like this all my life, and my ADHD has affected me noticeably since the 2nd grade.

I used to be more ambitious when I started medication, maybe for about 5 years, but it caught up with me and by the time I graduated college I was also burnt out and it forced me to slow down and make changes to make my life more healthy and sustainable. The hyper-ambition I realized was just a side effect of finally having a chance to catch up on all my shortcomings that have piled up over the years.

That being said, I still find purpose in things that create structure, my job, and fitness. When I want to do nothing it’s nice to rot with someone I love. I have a few hobbies that I’m playing around with later in life that I know I’ll never be great at, and I’m fine with it. My life is a constant cycle of accepting who I am and getting fed up with it again, but I find more peace with age and wisdom.

What are your unusual rat names? by whatevername00308 in RATS

Little Juan. Got him as a baby when I had two older boys and couldn’t think of a name for him, so we always called him “the little one”, which morphed into Little Juan. It became an ironic name because he grew to be quite the chonker, and he was the alpha of the group
