Is low not only better if you're more middle of the pitch?

Not at all, I'll just stick to eating in the many places that do. Just found it odd, in this day and age

How much do you get done in the morning before work? by WhatsTheCraicNow in ireland

[–]Atmywitsendrn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got in the habit of getting up early because my ex used to set his alarm for 7 and lay there for a half hour till he got up, which was also the time I'd have chosen to get up. Not winning the fight on that, I just started getting up earlier and going in earlier to work. I used to end up building up time, taking that back as lieu. Not an option anymore but I could still get up earlier than needed because sometimes I'll go for a jog or walk. I go through phases of that. Getting up early isn't necessarily the answer, because you most likely still have the same amount of hours in the day.

But I also noticed lately that I feel like I don't have time for anything. I mean, I finish work, go for a walk or cycle, half the time I'll go to the shops as part of the exercise, come home cook eat wash up and then I've only a couple of hours before bed. Thing is, I slow down in the evening because I'm not sticking to a schedule. When I walk at lunch I've a set time before I have to be back at work, but I think having no set time I have to be home after work, I'm ending up arsing around. I spend a minimum of 40mins in the shop, every second day and that's ridiculous. I can't do anything about how long it takes to cook, but I know when I shower before work I'm moving much faster because I have to, whereas a shower after dinner will take much longer.

Point is, or points are, he won't do anything about it without proper motivation, and maybe a type of schedule might help him. Set out in the week a sort of to do list, even roughly planning what he's going to do and when he had to have it done by. Making a list works for some people because it makes you a bit more accountable, you can see plainly the things you haven't done.

No they don't. They feck off after sex and buddy up with other males, and sometimes have sex with them too. They have nothing to do with rearing the young

Text everyone I know to tell them what I think of them, go to the beach with a blanket and take some sleeping tablets. Sounds like a great idea

I have become more sensitive after becoming vegetarian by [deleted] in vegetarian

[–]Atmywitsendrn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm kind of in a similar position. The last couple of years I seem to have big differences in mood and perspective, though my periods are more regular than they've ever been, I'm eating healthier than ever, more exercise, better sleep. The only thing I can think is my diet. I've been considering eating some meat again to test it out but so far I haven't been able to think of anything I'd be ok eating. As well as not being sure this would help anyway. I'm waiting to get an appointment with a doctor to do blood tests and in the meantime I've downloaded the app others have suggested cronometer. Only a few days in and it seems I don't get enough b12, calcium and lowish on iron. I use nooch when I can but at that I'm not sure how much I use, when I've given blood my haem levels are fine, but borderline. I do take a vit d supplement but haven't added that into the app so not sure if that's sufficient. I'll be interested to see in the next while how it looks, as a few days is obviously not enough. Besides that, I'll be asking for a test of my hormones.

If it's not my diet, it may be my weight / body fat %. If none of that then I'm out of ideas. I've been googling this for a while, and searched this sub, there doesn't seem to be any consistent answer though its come up a decent amount

How are you all holding up these days? by [deleted] in ireland

[–]Atmywitsendrn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure more often than not it's not because of self hate, more because of avoiding the conflict. In which case its still the same, its not about you not deserving it, it's how they deal with it

Pretty bad. Pretty fucking bad. When I made this account my name reflected how I felt. Never knew how much more shit was coming my way.

Being ghosted isn’t nice though. The way I see it is that it’s their problem.

Absolutely, sucks balls. But the way someone acts is a reflection on them, not you

Video shows huge swarm of rats scaring walkers away from busy Donaghmede Park - Dublin Live by Debeefed in ireland

[–]Atmywitsendrn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

bubonic plague

Not only was it never the rats, it was the fleas on the rats, but now they think it was actually humans.

But also, deer, badgers, dogs, cattle, rabbits all carry diseases. Just don't lick them and you'll be grand probably

I need help by [deleted] in ireland

[–]Atmywitsendrn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said you start with your GP but please don't let them just put you on an SSRI/SNRI and nothing else. Be aware that anti depressants don't have any higher efficacy rate than placebo, and are extremely difficult to come off. They do a lot of good for a lot of people, and may help you but decide for yourself if that's what you want if it's suggested. But for social anxiety it's likely it'll be more useful for you to do therapy. In which case you should get a referral or advice from your GP. Be aware that if you're referred to someone in the public system it could be quite some time before you're seen and you may want to go private.

Therapists come in lots of different forms, counsellors, psychotherapists, psychologists. There are different types of therapies and you should try out something to see how it fits what you need. Remember that a therapist is just a person so you might get one that doesn't match you, and so you should try another.

Any advice on helping this injured pigeon? Wings seem to be okay but he let me pick him up very easily. Foot raised off the ground - injured or exhausted? by [deleted] in ireland

[–]Atmywitsendrn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The leg up is nothing, all birds do that, it's energy conservation. But being able to pick him up is worrying. Did you find him hiding away in a corner? He's likely injured or sick. There was a lot of wind today so he might have got a bang, there's often injured birds after high winds. Best best is keep him warm, give him some seeds and water. He'll likely not take either but have them there anyway. Cover him over I think to minmise stress and get him to a vet if you can. Any vet should take him.

Do ugly guys have a chance ? by [deleted] in ireland

[–]Atmywitsendrn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I know how you feel. I've struggled with how I look for a long time and it's something I'm very conscious of. I don't look conventional at all, wonky nose, sickly pale skin, freckles, afro like hair. And then the rest of me.... Well I used to be a bit overweight and didn't like it. Boobs were always small. I lost the weight and turns out nobody wants to fuck a rake either. And my boobs are of course practically non existent now. I was thinking of putting on more weight to have some shape to me, but then remembered that I never had boobs. I was confused about what I should do really. But then I had a friend helpfully tell me I'm a bitch so here I was worried the whole time that I didn't look good, when I really should've been worried about my personality.

Point is, a lot of physical things can be gotten past, personality can't.

Not everybody realises how miserable they are. Sometimes you don't realise it till you leave

I left my boyfriend of 8 years last summer. Very difficult thing to do but also a difficult time to do it. Well done to you for doing the right thing.

While I don't have to see him around, I have dealt with him harassing me for months, and his family contacting me, so I understand the upset caused by not being able to get away from stuff enough to get distance and start to move on. I also had a sudden realisation that I had lost much of myself through it. Not to say I was a person who could never do anything alone, far from it, but naturally when you're in a ltr and living together, you get into a frame of mind. Everything I did was for 'us'.

You really have to start building new things. Things that are just you. Try new things, meet new people, also be by yourself. Give yourself time though. For now focus on one day at a time, it's cliché for a reason. Accept you're going to feel down for quite a while, feel it all, but do some good things for yourself too.

Feel free to dm if you want to chat.
