COLD DARK ROOM

Look at this cute guy.
Not $15,000 cute but cute.

She is the resident full time psychologist at the college. Counselor just sounds less daunting and can make students feel more comfortable with coming in and talking. She functions as a therapist mainly. For prescriptions I'd have to see a medical doctor or a psychiatrist that can write them.

It's good your going. I hope it will help. [emoji106]

Yes very cute. Too bad their skin is so sensitive to the sun.

Yeah but would they be as sensitive as the silkie breaded Dragons that have no scales I wonder?

I do not know. They even have scaleless snakes too. It's almost scary the amount we have managed to alter these animals. In the wild these creatures would have been naturally culled before being able to reproduce. In captivity we encourage the mutations, often by inbreeding. I wonder what kinds of health issues they have on the inside that we don't see...

This is true and if you want to see some extreme examples of this just look at fancy goldfish.

That you have made this appointment is a good start to get rid of your depressions. Well done ! I am proud of you.
To make the first step is hard to do, I think. Good you made it.

Thanks. I'm going to talk to her about meds. See what she thinks might work to help me

Oh no ! It maybe look cute but it is a poor creature. Being an albino tort but needing sun to survive ( producing vitamin D3 from taking UVB ) is not a good constellation.
I would never buy such a poor thing. It could be that it has a very short life.

I know with the bearded dragons you can use a sun screen and supplement some of the d3 with calcium +d3 powder. Is this not an option with torts? I don't know.

I agree it's beat not to buy them and not encourage the specialty breeding of these animals but if someone has one there must be a way to compensate for the issues that are a result of the albinoism.

Can you ask her if there are groups to talk about your depressions too ? Only meds will not solve your depressions me thinks, but I am no doctor. You need to talk with people that are in the same situation like you and to talk with people which were able to get better, to feel better. You know what I mean ?

Like an alcoholics anonymous but with depression.

It might work with tortoises too, but why should I buy an animal that is obviously not able to survive in his natural habitat because it is negativ modified by a breeder that only wants to earn a lot of money ?

I agree with you. That why I never owned a silk-back bearded dragon even though I like them estetically.

Yes. A group of people who suffer under their depressions like you. Talking about problems can be helpful to ease the problems.

I've never done a group session before to be honest.

How does such a dragon look like ?

A group session can be very helpful. It is worth to try it, I think.
Would you have fear talking about your depressions/problems to a group of people you don`t know ?

They have no scales so that are soft to the touch and their colors pop even more.

Well I have on here. Though it would be more daunting in person.
