No idea if he was hiding or stuck somewhere, but it seems like he's not eaten much the last few weeks. Other than that, a broken nail, and some fleas, he seems to be in fairly good shape.
So happy for you! Hope you gave him a good bath though and maybe a trip to the vet.

yeah i did two very aggressive sessions. it was horrible and didnt really solve my problem.
i think the problem with taking protein shakes in general while on it is that accutane already contains a lot of vitamin A and taking more in your shake can put even more stress on your liver than it already does. but there are protein shakes that dont contain vitamin A
I'm 90 percent sure it doesn't have any vitamin A in. I'd just heard that concentrated whey was also hard on the liver just as a protein. I guess I just need to make sure I drink enough fluids

Had to give him two baths last night - he was super pissed about that.
Vet appointment is next week. If he were in worse shape I'd find an emergency appointment, but I think he's more or less alright.
He's just taking one more step along the path of the Cat. Next time he needs to be sneakier when he disappears though.
About my wall of text, and what you said Req, it's not really about the relationship. There, was the situation that occurred, and I guess in romantic relationships there're bigger expectations too, but the main point's my reasoning I think. I'd have these reactions and "first thoughts" pretty whoever is involved, and that's something more than being an introvert, closer to "screw everyone, it's me first! ... well, pretty much only me, actually" and that doesn't sound very healthy socially to me. I skate by with most of my friends because either they're introverts too, or they don't mind not seeing each other that often, or I can easily drop by Skype or IRC so if something needs to be discussed I can do it without moving away from my other occupations.
As HF says, ending up in a relationship with somebody who's not like that is going to expose me to new situations and choices to make, though. Guess I'm also wondering how it'll hold up and how fulfilled I'll feel, considering my lack of tolerance regarding "exterior disruptions." We'll see. I'm seeing a psychologist to check for some possibly related stuff, so if we find something's ticking differently in my brain then I'll know why.

Part of life is growing and changing as a person. Maybe things you thought you hate will land up being stuff you enjoy. It's just important to embrace positive change instead of getting bogged down in the negatives.
You and Wave both need to start believing in yourselves more. I know it's hard, I battle with it a lot but it's worth it at the end of the day.

I dunno how much this will mean to you Alaric but I feel like saying it: + Show Spoiler +
I certainly subscribe to the view that whatever you think or feel inside doesn't mean shit - the only thing that matters is what you do. So if I were you, I would take pride in the fact that I was able to overcome my selfishness and be there for the other person, instead of agonizing that you thought it was a pain, which is what you seem to be doing in that post.
I certainly understand the worry that you might not be able to handle it and break at some point. That you will either give in to selfishness, or get trampled on by not being assertive enough. But it's ok to have those thoughts. Right now your SO is going through a rough time and you're there for her. Once things calm down, it would be a good moment to talk about it. Or not. I don't know how your relationship is. Just seems like a logical thing.
Just so we're clear I'm the young guy from Poland, 739 is the one good at liquidbets with a son.
Someone I knew in grad school drank himself to death- or close to, he's still alive but his liver failed I think, so he has on the order of days probably. He doesn't recognize people anymore.
Feels awful. I wasn't particularly close to him, but I would consider him a friend. He had alcohol problems before graduate school, but it probably didn't help either.
