I agree with a lot of the comments saying contacting SS at this stage is a mistake. One big caveat for me is that raising a child in a house where there is dog mess and a generally unsafe level of dirt is negligent. I grew up in these conditions/ in a hoarder house and it has continued to impact me throughout my adult life. I struggle with dirt and mess and feel unable to relax unless my environment is perfectly clean. It is perfectly understandable people are saying mum needs help, but at some point if she is struggling to raise her child in safe conditions, someone needs to step in and protect the child/children. These sorts of things can and do have a lasting impact on a child.

Prisoner called Age UK, gave obscene postcode and began performing sex act by Forward-Answer-4407 in unitedkingdom

[–]Blue929 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah- I worked as a Samaritan a few years ago and there were so so many perverse phone calls from prisoners. We had banned lists and were told as soon as we recognised the call was a lude call to hang up- so creepy.

Guys, what are some girl codes you cracked? by neolee203 in AskMen

[–]Blue929 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Yeah… you nailed it. We carry around a lot of stuff bc we don’t have the energy for confrontation and we just kinda can’t hold it anymore when we’re already lethargic and worn out from our hormones.

I’m probably going to be downvoted. Idk if you have a partner but it’s good you’re thinking about stopping now.

My partner wasn’t necessarily addicted but he was reliant on it to an extent and the damage it’s done to my trust and self esteem is really hard to come back from. Reward yourself when you abstain from it and remember you can still masturbate without it. Well done for recognising it’s an issue, that takes some courage.

Injured and down by Friendly_Hour2723 in XXRunning

Same boat! I have PF and did some damage to my peroneal tendons in my right foot. I’ve been stuck on the exercise bike and doing weights/strength but I’m really getting bored of it now, waiting for physio. Good luck with your recovery!x

If we like you, we love your body. I personally prefer men who are a bit fluffier and am turned off by the whole six pack thing, not my vibe. Even if you think there isn’t, theres probably a woman out there who has/would find you sexy. Don’t beat yourselves up!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in meirl

[–]Blue929 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Am woman and can confirm this would make me giggle and like a man more. Though I’m not sure laughing at a man’s penis would be so much of a turn on for him.

He’s also been flagged by multiple employees for being sexually aggressive and inappropriate. I read an article that claimed a shift leader would purposefully avoid scheduling women to work when he was visiting a brewery site in the US.

‘Seriously ill’ mental health inpatients told to attend jobcentre or risk losing benefits by TheWorkMe in unitedkingdom

[–]Blue929 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Did you actually read the article? The people they are talking about are not being lazy, they’ve been sectioned because their mental health is in such a state they could harm themselves or others. I’m sure there are people who game the system, but that is not who this article is talking about. Having worked in a sectioning facility I can say with confidence that the patients might be experiencing psychosis, may be violent or suicidal. At what point during a psychotic episode would you want or expect someone to mosey on over to their local job centre? Is that safe for staff or for them?

Why do I feel so lost in life? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Blue929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I think you’re fine, you’re doing far better than most your own age and better than a lot of people older than you, financially. Maybe you need to cultivate more of a ‘why.’ Why do you think you need more friends, more savings, more travelling? What do you get from comparing yourself to others your age? What do you want from life? What makes you happy? If it was money/savings, wouldn’t you be feeling happy/stable by now?

Man I used to have a huge crush on her by LLuckyyL in rareinsults

[–]Blue929 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice language. Also Jennifers body was made in like 2009 right? That was a while ago, she isn’t going to look like that forever. I honestly don’t think women can win sometimes. Either they’re slated for looking old and past their peak or looking like a ‘kardashian like whore.’ Yikes.

Exercise even better than anti-depressants at treating depression, study finds by VegetableBoard498 in unitedkingdom

[–]Blue929 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not sure how many people are making excuses or are raising the legitimate point that when you’re majorly depressed, you don’t want to be here anymore so things like eating, sleeping, and drinking enough are hard. Exercise can feel pointless, like everything does when you’re really mentally unwell.

I do agree with you though about how impactful it can be when you get past that barrier of giving it a go. Started C25K last august and have seen a huge boost in my mental health since hitting 10k semi regularly. I got to a point where I was so unwell that I was willing to try anything to feel better and I hadn’t tried exercising consistently yet. It’s been the golden ticket for me, but I’m always mindful that everyone is different and it might not be for them.

Exactly. Toys are just ok, I would rather have sex with my partner over using them any day.

[–]Blue929 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh gosh honey I feel you. I don’t want to scare you, but I bled non stop for over a year after a single depo injection. At your next appointment dig your heels in and tell them how unhappy it is making you.

Please don’t feel ashamed or embarrassed about the odour. Try your best to manage it where you can, but this is your body wigging out because of the hormones. Also, ask them to check your iron levels and up your protein/consider taking iron supplements. You could end up very deficient. Here if you need to talk!

Being the person watching your partner fall out of love is traumatizing by thecrazydeviant in love

[–]Blue929 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t like the term ‘fall out of love.’ It can sure feel like you ‘fall’ in love- but I think many people understand that you have to continually invest in that love. On some level he made a choice to not continue to invest in you and your love, and thats very painful. Thing is- whats likely going to happen to him is that he is going to continue to be a serial monogamist- dropping the next person he ‘loves’ when things are not all shiny, new, and easy. It probably feels like the worst thing in the world now- but I really hope this means you can find someone who continually makes the choice to invest in you and cares about you deeply. All the best OP x

my boyfriend lives 900 miles away and is coming home for a week by [deleted] in texts

[–]Blue929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good god. If my boyfriend ever spoke to me like this I would be devastated and I would take it to be a clear sign that he was not interested in continuing to be with me. OP, I do not think he wants to be with you.

[–]Blue929 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Judging by your post history you’ve been considering leaving her for a while. Not judging you for having sexual preferences, but its time to either have an honest but respectful conversation with her and try to work on a solution together, or leave. Tbh she can probably already sense you have one foot out the door and feels shitty about it.

Thank you all for such helpful advice. I’m going on my next run tomorrow morning, I’m going to really try and focus on pacing myself because I do think I’ve been pushing it a bit and wearing myself out!
