Difficult Journey

Hey guys.
So, it's been a difficult journey for me with my beardies.

Hard to take care of beardies especially when I had to take a medicine starting at 17.
It was a hard medicine to take, and I still take some.
I Dunno because they made me take it in the beginning.

I've been thrown out of my house & was told to live in my parents shed.
My beardie got sick out there...Took her to a rescue.
That was my short horror story with her.


Now, I'm doing a lot better.
You know, I'm moved out
Paying the bills, putting food on the table.
Medicating myself properly.
Going to the dentist

Got a beardie and life is looking up. He's totally a weirdo. He's Wero
Hopefully this continues in this beautiful transformation/journey.

Thanks guys!
I appreciate the support and I will support you guys in your endeavors

Some of these medications I'm on came out in the 1970's & the 1990's
Some scary medicines.
Hard to take care of a reptile.

My grandpa recently passed away.
And I'm stressed. My beardie is stressed.
Going through a head shed.

And just not feeling well.
They take our gun rights away and stuff like that.
Give us medicines that make us think the thoughts TO kill people.
I'm on 'Pfizer meds' and I don't like those thoughts of killing someone...But hey someone has to make the future a better place and the now a living hell for not only me but you guys. And I hate to be the one that is forced to do it.

The American Dream was my go-to way of living.

Maybe it was a good choice the psych ward/parents made.
Maybe someday we'll celebrate this great cause I'm a part of.
Not today or next week or next month. Maybe someday.

My family is treated sometimes. Horribly.
Horror stories.
Lobotomies. Electro therapy.

I'm sure he'll come out of the shed, but he is not happy...
CPS is always telling people about MY life whether it's their boss or someone important.
I feel like this data is sold and I don't like having a privacy concern with BIG PHARMA.

(American Medical Research/Response.)
Oh well. We won't be a part of the future or all the cool stuff they come out with.
The future of human enslavement.

I like cameras just like the next guy.
& I learn it from these psych wards. They are too SMART.
They'll always have like 5 cameras watching 10-15 patients at a time & they'd cycle these patients out into a bigger area with other cameras and that room will house 50 mental/needy patients.

At the same time, I still think my beardie feels my pain and just wants to be left alone today/tomorrow.

Huge concerns.
W/ my Grandpa passing.
Just don't feel well and pets are Non-supportive.


I just wish there was something to relieve this pain and suffering I'm feeling as my grandpa has passed. :(
None of my pets will own up to it and comfort me.
None of them are supporting me.
Kinda the cold shoulder from both the cat and beardie

They are leaving me in the dark.
Beardies going through the shed.
Cat still won't leave me alone about this.

It's like he has the big-brother syndrome.
I feel bad. I don't like locking him up.

I don't like talking about the living conditions I was in.
Huge privacy concerns. And CPS/APS doesn't do ANYTHING.

I'm very sorry to hear about your grandpa, it's a very difficult thing to lose someone you love. Please hang in there, many people have lost family members here and can relate, although we all process grief differently. The only thing I can say is to offer my sincere sympathy and wish you peace, and for your heart to heal .

I agree with AHBD, you have my sincere condolences. There is no easy way to deal with the loss of a love one, and although kind words help, you'll have to look inside to find the piece you need and deserve. We are stronger than we usually realize and thats the same for you. Grieve for now and then find the reasons to celebrate your grandpa.🙂

Thank you.
My Grandpa passed.

I checked the temperatures in the beardie tank, and it rose to about 105F.
Practically 2 days.
The burial service was very cold.
The church was warm.
I Brought sparkling water to keep things peaceful :)

Dry bones my beardie has multi-lighting.
It heated up but I wonder why he's not necessarily basking/enjoying his bask.
What do you guys think?

His stool looks/smells fine.
He's been eating at Fluker's veggie blend & Fluker's for beardies.
& Gut-loaded super worms.
Liquid calcium (Blueberry)
Also, liquid vitamins.

He's 50 grams.
He's also got a shed that looks like he's about to go through.
He's about 4 1/2 months old.
Does that sound right?

just make sure he is staying hydrated and has enough calcium, they practically need calcium to survive and when we dont give it to them they try and take it out of there bones which cause MBD, do you happen to have a picture of his terrarium and setup?

I feed and I give liquid calcium and that works out quite well.
I am able to dose it according to a chart.
I can get pretty 'accurate' dosages.

I'm happy. I feel these beautiful emotions again that I haven't felt since high school.
I can feel my brain getting better every day. /Taper

And best of all I get to hang out with my reptilian buddy/cat.
I needed a couple of study buddies

I'm so much happier than your average person...
I don't know if it was all the counseling/medication cessations but I am so happy W/my life and my mindset.
I'm so happy I got the little guy.

Thanks everyone

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
