Just got the isyoung smart feeder. Set it up yesterday and we’ve had one bird and now this one squirrel won’t leave the feeder alone. It’s mounted on my fence. What can I do to keep squirrels away? Is there any other solution than to put it on a pole?
First time trying to grow Dahlias from tubers, I’ve always just bought them as plants.
I feel like it shouldn’t be this tall and skinny? Should I pinch it?
Has anyone seen lemon trees in stores anywhere this year? I saw some a couple years back in Walmart but haven’t come across anything this year. Desperately looking for a potted lemon tree 🍋

I know no one on here can say yes or no for sure, I’m just looking for some insight.
A bit of background - at 14 and 15 I was sexually assaulted by peers on multiple occasions. I also suffered from severe bullying and verbal harassment daily all throughout high school. A few years ago I expressed this to my psychiatrist and in combination with my symptoms they gave me a CPTSD diagnosis.
Here is where I question things. Growing up as a young child before any of that happened, I suffered from random symptoms and displayed weird behaviours, and now that I’m more educated in trauma, I understand that a lot of these symptoms can also be caused by trauma. Some of these symptoms/behaviours include:
- Extreme separation anxiety from my mom, this started very early
- chronic stomach issues with no apparent reason, I was forever at the doctor for nausea/diarrhea getting exams and ultrasounds that never amounted to anything. I would say this started around 2 years old.
- physical pain with no apparent reason
- intense emotions/anxiety
- obsession with genitals/sex, walking around naked when young
- constant headaches/migraines
- rebellious/not following rules
- extreme shyness
- low self esteem
- general nightmares
All of these began before I was 8. When I was assaulted starting at 14, I developed new symptoms and these previous ones became exacerbated.
I don’t remember much from my childhood. I had a good life, good parents, pretty spoiled, pretty stable home life.
I just keep wondering if it’s possible that something happened to me when I was so young that I can’t even recall it, but my body does.
Again, I know no one can say that something did or didn’t happen for sure. I also know that a lot of the symptoms I listed can just be general things that children go through, I would just like to hear others thoughts.
If you’ve read this far, I appreciate it, thank you!
