The spite, hate, rage, apathy and mild irritation thread...

I'm pretty sure of that.

My cat died. He developed diabetic ketoacidosis over the weekend, and there was some sort of other infection as well. The combination of the two was too much, and he passed away this morning. I’ve never been more devastated by a loss. I have an emergency appointment with my therapist this afternoon to come up with a safety plan for me, because I feel like I killed him. Had I not moved to the UK, he would be alive right now

cats developing diabetes has nothing to do with travel stress. the major causes are obesity, inactivity, medication interactions, and underlying illnesses. it's a biological thing that happens. was there no sign of distress beforehand? my cat is diabetic, and i only discovered it when i noticed he was pissing more than normal. find something to beat yourself up with that's actually your fault if that's what you're into.

I hate architects most of the time, the rest I just dislike them…. We really need to build that B ark….

My cat developed diabetes last fall, and I noticed it the same way you did. I had been giving him injections for the last year, and his glucose levels were staying in a healthy range. When he got to the UK they switched him to caninsulin and put him on the introductory dose because they weren’t sure how he’d react to it. Obviously it wasn’t enough (or maybe it just wasn’t effective for him), and I wish I would have gotten him back to the vet sooner. He was scheduled to get a glucose curve this week (about two weeks after getting here). He was behaving normally on Saturday morning, by Saturday night he was having trouble walking and was hiding near his litterbox. So, I took him to the emergency vet. They gave him the standard treatment for ketoacidosis, but his kidneys weren’t functioning like they needed to. Then he started to develop a fever and his kidneys shut down.

Had I stayed in Korea his condition wouldn’t have deteriorated like this because he would have been able to stay on his old insulin, and it was a lot easier to take my cat to the vet there. If I’d even just been more paranoid and insisted on giving him a larger dose of caninsulin he might still be alive. But it doesn’t matter now. He’s dead because I fucked up

I'm so sorry about your cat.

I hope the therapy session was helpful. Please don't beat yourself up.

how many units of insulin was he on in Korea? 2 weeks from switchover to dying is a terribly short time. and 2 weeks after change in dosage/etc. is the standard period for vet monitoring. perhaps if you were psychic you might have detected the problem sooner, but cats don't give you a lot of clues as to their condition.

i'm really sorry for your loss. since the pandemic started i've had to grieve the cat who kept me from killing myself and a dog i loved with all my heart. please try not to be too hard on yourself.

I recently scored a Dwarfcraft Loop Mangler and either it's broken or it's just suuuuuper underwhelming. Being probably my all time favourite builder, at least one of them, I have a lot of their stuff, but this one, so far, just feels "meh". Very, very "meh". It also makes me sad that they're not around anymore. Besides the awesome pedals I always thought Louise had good stuff to say/some great points to make and demoes by your old pal Aen...

Feeling a little annoyed that I'm the latest to post on this thread and ow doing it again. Also, a little annoyed that I'm annoyed over everyone else seeming to be at least sort of happy Perhaps MILFCHA 2024 managed to meet its goal afterall..

Either way, just got a "you need to verify your account"-email from reverb, where they're asking the user te, well, verify their account, which is fine, but by sending a photo of your government issued ID?! Nope, that's too far for me. So probably, I'm done with Reverb now, unless they come up with another verification option. I'm I the only one annoyd about this?

There's a shitty bar in my house. They're having a party tonight and they turned up the music so loud I can't sleep. It's a place pretty much exclusive for depressed and isolated alcoholics and it's christmas, so they probably need their party with their loud shitty music tonight but I'm getting slightly annoyed by now. It's 2:30am...

Im sure everyone else is annoyed or unhappy about shit, probs just not posting it here. I mean not so many people posting here in general. Wouldn't worry about it

Also that Reverb thing sounds like a scam, you sure its legit? But I agree, Reverb doesnt need my ID. If they ever ask for it a a condition of use, I'm 100% out too. I'm already meh about it for its stupidly high seller fees and how it's just a haven for pedal flippers and scalpers.

Too lazy to look up the Morgan Freeman pointing up "this" image. But this.

I get really sad when I realize I'm never going to have multiple friends again in my life. I have my partner and my best friend Jon, but I don't think I'll ever add anyone else to that. I work from home. I leave the apartment 1-2 times a week to shop or do laundry. My job is very social, so I am out of social energy at the end of the day. A year ago, we tried to befriend a couple who own an occult bookstore, but we were too rough around the edges and our lower middle class upbringing made us incompatible with their social circle. Jon and I can talk about Magic the Gathering and stuff, but he doesn't listen to or make music.I spend so much time alone that I feel like I'm getting weirder by the day, like a human bonsai.
The other thing is that my memory is fading. I'm forgetting people's names. They are disappearing. My mind is full of ghosts.
