Injuries from quads

[StormtheBaffinBayWolf]

Just a thread to share injuries you’ve gotten from quadrobics and how to prevent them from happening.

For me, I once tried to do an animal POV while doing a high jump. I made the mistake of looking down when I landed. The phone got pushed back into my mouth and now I have a mouth sore. Fun. To prevent this, either don’t film animal POVs while jumping or don’t look down while doing it.

I’m going through a similar thing.
I’ve always been very animalistic and I started doing quads around my mom but she would get mad at me and tell me to stop so I stopped doing them around her. I can’t even tell her I’m a furry because she thinks that a furry is…well…I’m not gonna say that.
I’d recommend hiding your tail somewhere. Maybe your closet or in your backpack.
Try not to express yourself as a therian around your parents. If they ask about it just say it was a phase and that you’re done with it.
I know it’s gonna feel really crappy to have to hide yourself from them but it’s the safest thing you can do.
If you really need to, you can wear your tail in your room at night when your parents are asleep.
I’m really bad at giving advice :,D

I was jumping and I landed but my fingers weren't curled and my middle finger and my ring finger broke on my right hand

Yikes :{

[coyote]

thank you "stormi skys" I will try that.

Yea I sometimes get this really strong urge to just do vocals and quads but I have to shove it away cuz I can be myself around other people except my two close friends but I do keep my yarn tail homemade mask and ears on display in my room and hide them when friends come over cuz I don’t even want them to know I’m a furry let alone a Therian because that will just screw up my already terrible social life but I don’t have to hide my gear from my parents because to them i like making costumes of animals and playing animal so yea and also just asking to grey fox if they would like to chat cuz I’m also a grey fox Therian and I’m just looking for Therian friends in my area or online.

I understand. I asked for tails and masks for my birthday(species dysphoria) and my mum told my principle and now they call me a "furry" I do quads with my sister, and at school I bark and yip involuntarily, one of my friends is ignoring me, and the other is on camp so I have nobody to help me. I cry all night and I feel like I'm spiralling. I cry almost every day at school, and it gets too hard. I'm not allowed social media either, I'm on my school laptop.

Me too Im on my school laptop if I get caught Im dead.

[Fang]

Is anybody younger then 12?

Oh sorry Im new to this. I have been doing quads for a bit now but when I started I got I would hurt my wrists,arms and ankles all the time I still do but less but when I do I would let it rest for 2-4 days. And that would do the trick. Ask me if you want more information on any injury!

Goodness this thread is terrifying for me to read.

Okay, I see a lot of teens being very depressed and confused about how to express themselves in a way that won't single them out or make their parents hate them. Please, allow me to give you some advice as a mom myself, an otherkin, and a multiple system. I think I can say I have my bases covered here.

First and foremost, always accept who you are and don't change yourself for others. However, that being said, there are other ways to express yourself that won't put a large blinking target on your back with your parents and classmates.

Exercise is freakin great! But you don't need to do whatever these quad things are. I'll have to look them up. If they are what I'm thinking, it's when people leap around on all fours, yeah? That's something relatively new in the therian community really. There are other ways to get exercise that won't hurt you or be as looked down upon as quads are. Basic Parkour for one, is definitely an option. Or just going to the park and running the track or climbing on the areas provided. But please, these quads seem to be a bad idea on many fronts.

As for dealing with the feeling of being in the wrong body, allow me to introduce meditation. A lot of the older otherkin use meditation to get a better feel for our bodies and our kinselves. It allows us to retreat into our minds and actual helps to reduce the stress it may cause. Plus meditation has proven health benefits.

Please, please stop hurt yourselves put there just because you feel you have to since your kin. You don't. Yeah shifts can be a pain in the butt to deal with at times but there are ways to handle them without having to upset your parents, make yourself a joke to your peers, and put yourself in harm's way. It's not worth it. Your happiness is important and sometimes we just have to play the game smart to get that check mate.
