Hey everyone! I’ve been debating back and forth between getting an Asian Forest of Emperor Scorpion or a Curly Hair Tarantula. I’ve kept reptiles before but this will be my first invert. Everyone says certain Ts are great for beginners but are Scorpions good beginner inverts too? Just curious especially from those who have or currently keep both! Thank you!
Any species of Pedes that are on the smaller side? Under 6 inches full grown or are they all 6 + inches?
Hey everyone! I am looking to get into the hobby and by my first carnivorous plants soon, I just had a few questions and would like your opinions on a few things.
Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thank you guys!
Hey guys! Been a while since I've posted. I've been doing pretty good lately although I suddenly found a spike in both my anxiety and depression when I'm sick. I caught some kinda stomach bug (I'll spare you the gross details) and it's made me just feel down. I have OCD, anxiety, and derealization as a consequence of this a lot. I'm worried this illness will make me lose myself like I did a while back and I don't want to do that. I've been doing pretty good lately. Anyone else feel their mental health spiral when sick, and how do you keep it from happening? Thanks guys and gals.
Assalamualaikum! Been a while since I posted here. Long story short, I'm an American revert. I reverted about a year ago. I went to the mosque to take my shahada and haven't been back since. Mainly because the closet mosques are an hour away.
I am moving next week and will be closer to mosques and I really wanna go. Connect with other Muslims since I've been completely alone since reverting but I have social anxiety. I'm scared of going to places randomly. I'm scared of looking stupid in front of people or just being out of place.
It's stupid I know, I'm sure everyone there will understand and be kind but I always find an excuse not to go. Today I was supposed to go to a mosque just to introduce myself and look around but chickened out AGAIN.
Has anyone else dealt with this? How did you get over that fear? And any tips for praying at a mosque?
Do I show up before the call to prayer? What if I don't know what to say? I still do a very basic prayer where I just say subhanallah and al fatiha a lot. Any tips? Thank you guys!
I've been battling this addiction for a while now. I really wanna quit. It's made me numb and has hurt my girlfriend beyond what I can even comprehend. I wanna quit for her and myself but if I'm being honest, I'm scared. It's almost like my heart wants to quit but my brain doesn't. It's not just watching porn, I also do "porn roleplay" on Instagram. Basically you write sexual stuff with a partner and share porn. It's been my escape since I was very young. It's like my only coping mechanism at this point. I suffer from OCD and anxiety and my intrusive thoughts get very scary. I'm stuck in this weird cycle where I'm sick of this addiction and want to stop but am scared to stop because it's almost a way of self medication. I'm on actual meds for both my OCD and this addiction but they haven't helped much yet. Anyone ever related to this?
