Goats need different amounts of food depending on their weight. As overfeeding can cause serious health problems, determine how much to feed your goat before gathering your supplies.  Weigh your goat. If you don't have a scale yourself, you can take your goat to a livestock vet. Convert their weight into ounces and find 10 to 12% of their total body weight. Divide this number by four. Feed your goat that amount four times a day. For example, say your goat weighs 96 ounces. It would need around 10 ounces of milk a day. You would feed your goat a little over three ounces of food three times a day. Colostrum is the milk a mother produces when a goat is first born. In the event your young goat was rejected or abandoned by its mother, you will have provide colostrum yourself. It is difficult for a goat to survive without a steady intake of colostrum.  You need to get a baby goat colostrum within its first 24 hours of life. If you have a goat on your farm that recently gave birth, milk that goat and bottle feed your goat the mother's milk. However, you may not always have real colostrum on hand. In the event you don't have colostrum, there are many online providers that allow you to purchase colostrum. If you know you're raising goats, freeze milk from goats who have recently given birth or keep colostrum substitute on hand. It's vital to get colostrum to a goat as soon as possible. When bottle feeding, it's always best to get your goat as natural ingredients possible. These will best assure your goat gets the vitamins and minerals it needs to thrive. Go for goat's milk or cow's milk, which you an find at most grocery stores.  Never feed a baby goat powdered milk or canned milk. These can cause health issues. If you're using cow's milk, add three tablespoons of corn syrup per gallon of cow's milk. In general, you should aim to feed your goat around three or four times a day. Space out feedings over the course of a day, as kids need to eat on and off all day. If your goat is looking for food and seems hungry, bottle feed it as needed. However, keep the total amount you feed within the range you calculated based on the goat's weight. If your goat is three weeks old or older, provide hay and water for free feeding as well. Place the proper amount of milk in a regular baby bottle. You do not need a special bottle to bottle feed a goat. Pick up a conventional baby bottle from a department store for the feeding process.

It’s never a good idea to take yourself off of medication without consulting your physician first. You may experience unpleasant withdrawal symptoms that can be severe. Call your prescriber immediately if you are uncomfortable taking medications and tell the staff what is going on. You may be able to get an answer over the phone from your doctor as to whether or not you should continue the medication — they may advise you to stop. Say to your physician, “My medication appears to be affecting the way I feel and I want to stop taking it. Here’s what’s going on.” If you feel like new changes in your mood may be related to your medication, schedule an appointment with your prescriber and let them know your concerns. If the symptoms are bothering you, don’t wait it out or hope they will go away. It’s likely that your prescriber can make some changes to help ease the symptoms.  Call your prescriber as soon as possible. If you’re feeling miserable, let them know so that changes can be made. Say, “I’m noticing some changes to how I feel and wonder if it could be due to my medication. Is this common for this prescription? What can we do?” Before your appointment, make a list of all the ways in which you think you have changed. This could include the onset of new symptoms or experiencing a sudden absence of something you normally feel or experience. Some medications appear to increase thoughts of suicide, such as varenicline (Chantix) and some antidepressants.  If your medication makes you feel increasingly suicidal, call your prescriber right away. They will likely discontinue medication and suggest you seek some kind of support.  You can call a suicide hotline (in the USA: 1-800-273-8255; Australia: 13-11-14; UK:  0800 068 41 41). Call a friend to come help you or call for an ambulance to take you to the emergency department. You can also call emergency services. If you are feeling depressed but not suicidal, you might want to tell any family living with you or trusted friends so that they can check in with you on a regular basis.

Work out what things stand in the way of you being more disciplined at the moment. They may be character flaws, an inability to articulate what you want out of life or a preference for losing yourself in stimulants or addictions. Perhaps you conform too much without thinking for yourself; this can make it easy to follow someone else's ideas of discipline without working out discipline that works for you and fulfills your own real needs. Whatever the reason, try to determine it first.  Why do you feel you are not disciplined enough now? What are the factors standing in the way of you being more disciplined? As well as assessing your own limitations, consider how others in your life impact you. Are you pleasing others too much to spend time on yourself? Are you always giving in to other people's wants and letting yours go by the wayside? This is especially important if you spend a lot of time just pleasing others. It will be a lot more difficult to stay disciplined if you feel you need others to form boundaries for you or to tell you how to act and think or what to do. What voices in your head tell you that you're unworthy or a failure? These are negative thoughts that have no basis and need to be tackled in order to introduce self care and discipline in your life. You may need counseling or it could be sufficient for you to work through your negative thoughts using mindfulness or cognitive behavioral techniques.
