@MixedAnimals77 it's a hard place to be. My personal experience with my sister:

1. My sister did complete her attempt back in 2018. And in the moment, there was only grief, absolutely. But later as I healed and was able to look back and see my life for what it was, I did develop frustration and anger at my sister and the situation. It ****ed up my second year academically and ****ed me up as a person for a while.

2. I obviously think about the "what ifs" all the time. What if she lived? Then obviously I spiral because she could have absolutely had health issues as a result. The spiraling just goes from there. What if she tried again? Etc. It gets wild. Some thoughts are less gracious than others. Which leads me to say that these feelings are honestly not weird in any way.

3. If you ever want to talk, just let me know. It's a hard place to be. I would say I wouldn't express these feelings outwardly to the core family right now. But finding support elsewhere isn't a bad idea.

Someone tried to break into my house. I feel so unsafe in my own home. I feel too emotionally exhausted to go to work tomorrow but I used all of my sick days being sick and cannot take a mental health day.

Raw / "natural" diet has seen an explosion in my area now that the human carnivore diet has taken off. Trying to convince to feed a safe balanced diet when the owners didn't believe carbs cause all living beings to spontaneously combust on contact was hard enough...

i just saw a video of a bad purina dog food batch, and eeeeveryone in the comments is going "see? kibble is poison! look at the maggots!" "we've been trying to tell you they're evil but nooobody listens - sincerely, a raw food feeder"

as if human food isnt recalled ALL.THE.TIME? it's less a food specific issue and more a packaging, handling and storing issue. purina was literally the only food that "fixed" axel's constant diarrhea. i am a #kibblelover4lyfe.

ugh yeah I saw this too. I also think that this was a packaging and warehouse issue. Plus pet store staff issue because if there were truly maggots crawling *outside* some of the bags as well, that’s further proof that they don’t care (how are they handling/‘inspecting’ frozen and raw foods on arrival?).

And heavy on the human food recalls. I was actually afraid to eat bagged salad while pregnant.

The spouse and I were just talking about how recalls are a symptom of the system WORKING, not failing. If nothing ever got recalled, either through legal or public image pressure, we’d have a lot more food related illness and death.
