This morning I am so overwhelmed and overstressed I am puking because jesus caring for a cat post-op is stressful  What I didn't post before is this picture of the incision all stitched up, or how he was shaking and trembling and crying as the anesthetic from the surgery wore off, or how even right after waking up from surgery he was trying to fight against all the help and climb out of crates and stuff like dude you can't do this right now you have a metal plate in your leg Last night I left him in a crate in a room by himself overnight like the vet suggested and he managed to get the cone off his head and peed all over himself  I have to get him to eat antibiotics too somehow which, no way, he won't even get close to them and he's not sedated enough for me to just put the syringe in his mouth Right now he's hiding under my bed which I won't be able to get him out from, and he doesn't have the cone on so I really hope he's not biting at the stitches, and he's too scared to even eat the treats I soaked in his pain meds

Not everything is a threat you ain’t that special (FUUUUCKK) I had a terrifying childhood. One of the less wild aspects was being socialised to think everyone was by default a jerk to everyone else. When I started busing to a high school in a normal area I initially kept that mindset. 'Hey are you new? Want me to show you around?' "gently caress off f-word." 'I'm Sarah what's your name?' "What does it matter to you?" I was convinced anyone being social had some ulterior motive. You wouldnt invite a new kid to hang out unless you were planning to embarrass them by standing them up at best, with robbing them or beating them up being on the table. Embarrassed to say I acted like a jerk myself thinking that would get people off my back. Mostly I just acted cold. Nobody had been whole-heartedly nice to me or anyone else up to that point. It took me a year or more to start letting my guard down. Sorry if this seems like I'm making you feeling bad about me. I do feel like sharing this. But if anything I hope you don't kick yourself on top of everything else for why you can't instantly flip a switch and be kind to yourself. |

I don't have this thread bookmarked. I just caught up and now I remember why: i have to be in the right frame of mind to read this stuff. Right now i need to glurge and cry so here we go! Al dente 📠 really nailed it up there. i care about all of you but I actually came here to call out Escape From Noise for just hammering the forum with new threads that more often than not turn into some of the real high points of my day. I also want to say to DDPM that you don't deserve this and I'm sorry it's happening to you. I know Internet friends aren't the same, but you've got more than a few here, myself included. I'm glad you were able to help your cat pal: it's really important for some people to have something to nurture, myself included. I hope you feel good about nursing your kitty back to health. Teen witch, I know this feeling. It can be tough letting someone past all your defenses, I hope you find someone who won't give up, and maybe later on you can be the one who keeps chiseling away at someone else. For what it's worth, I like you a lot, and I wish you'd post more in the yob. And man, hamjobs, you're still cool as hell. I'm sorry the universe keeps loading you down with this poo poo. I wish I knew what to say to help, but all I've got is that I really like you a lot and I wish fate were more kind to you. Okay, I'm gonna go cry a little more and then maybe try to sit through some old Doctor Who episodes until I'm angry about how much better they could have been.  cruft

Wait, I've got one more. When my dad moved into the condo he's living in now, as a "courtesy", I set up his internet connection through the cable company. Because it was my account, i was able to not get him cable television, and it was almost like flipping a switch. It took no time at all after he'd settled from the move before we were able to have real conversations again, without yelling past each other. It's been no nice. So it's really great to hear that your mom found a way to unplug, HW. |

It was made by a deviantart person, username inky365. it was to celebrate black cat day. My guess is the "hugs" part of the text is because the teen witch is hugging the kitten. Anyway I think it's cute and I like imagining you look exactly like this, including the cat. e: here is their deviantart page, and here is the one they drew for halloween, which looks like the same witch and is adorbs AF:

(standard disclaimer: i love Jesus and also i'm queer and leftist and mad at most of organized christianity) one of my pastors is retiring from pastoral work and i'm melancholy about it! she's also a therapist and has had such an important impact on the whole general direction of my church. like, having someone on the leadership team who is like "hey did u know you are allowed to set boundaries with people who are jerks, yes even if they are family, also you are allowed to say you're having a hard time or sad, hi you can talk to me about feelings and also given your state i recommend talking to your doctor about antidepressants because you seem to be clinically depressed" has been very important and helpful and good. having "therapy is good and helpful actually" as one of the underlying foundational concepts for the church is something i've been grateful for for a very long time. i'm sure that that will stay the same, but it's gonna be weird not having her around and being so dang good and helpful all the time! she super deserves all the rest though

teen witch posted:e: goddamnit way to revive a dead thread gently caress gently caress gently caress I'mma revive a dead thread and I don't even care. I need to get this off my chest and there's no better place for it. Every time I post in BYOB I worry that it's a crappy post or it's going to make somebody angry. Every. Time. Sometimes it actually is a crappy post or it makes somebody angry, so that keeps me going on the anxiety train. I don't really dwell on this. It doesn't keep me up at night or anything, it's more like a fleeting feeling that dissipates in a few seconds. But I felt the sudden urge to tell somebody about it. Oddly, this anxiety is only in BYOB. I don't really worry about any other forum. Thanks for listening. |

I’m what some call “very self conscious” and I’m petrified of hurting someone in the slightest. I feel that I’m shooting myself in the foot constantly trying to be “good” in everyone’s eyes.

you all have good posts in you, and meh posts in you. The only way to see which is which is to just keep postin friends Look at it like this, how many times have you just scrolled past and not thought so much about a post? That's the worst you'll get in here. And if that makes you uncomfy, then when you see someone floundering, do em a solid, and they'll do the same to you If we all smush our brains together we can come up with some really funny poo poo, but if we don't get that wet crinkles friction, no magic |
