    Sertraline was actual torture for me. I stopped sleeping entirely, had constant chills, pounding headache, mood instability where I would just start sobbing for no reason. Started on week 3 and by the end of the week I was begging my doctor to take me off it.

    Sister had similar results. I ended up on different meds.




  • I am aware and I do make every effort to reduce and remove dairy (and eggs) from my diet, but I recognize that I fall short of what I would consider vegan. Like if I’m at a party and am offered cake I’m probably going to eat it even though there’s probably egg in it, but I’m not going to order an egg-based dish, same with dairy if we’re having pizza or something. As I get older I’m increasingly lactose intolerant anyway, so I have additional incentive to avoid it.

    Rennet makes this a much more complicated decision for vegetarians. Like, if I know that the cheese was made with bacteria-derived enzymes, then that’s cool, but it’s really hard to know and trusting random cheese is just like still eating beef sometimes, so even though I’m vegetarian I end up being so picky about cheese that I hardly eat it anyway.







  • 90% of ferals don’t want you to touch them but might rub against your leg as long as don’t make sudden movements.

    That last 10% though is weird. I had a female in the colony i managed who was afraid of humans until we trapped her and got her fixed and vaccinated. Then she became lovey-dovey with humans and would climb in our lap. Still didn’t want to be picked up or taken inside though.

    Three of my current cats were ferals. One fully self domesticated (which is good because lil dude has a VSD). the other two pretty much only trust me but I can pick them up and occasionally pet them if they are in the mood
