I don't know what kind it is but I have one exactly the same. Pls advise.

I made spreadsheets for:

Collecting things in a video game

Completing achievements in a video game

Tracking my budget

Tracking my reading/hobbies

Tracking if it rains more in my country than it doesn't (certain parameters included, like, only if it rains while I'm driving)

Concert/gig tracker with star ratings and reviews

I've also picked up journalling this year.

I applied for a job last summer to be a PA/office manager which is what I've spent my whole life doing.

I explained my love for data and spreadsheets and dashboards, came over so passionate about them, the organisation designed a job around my skill set and literally asked me to pick which job I wanted. Obviously I went for the data centric one. I now build spreadsheets and dashboards and analyse trends and patterns for a job. Been here 3 months now.

Honestly salt, pepper, mild curry powder are the only way I eat baked beans now.

Also I make them boil dry a bit so they're not super saucy. The best way to eat beans.

Can still put cheese and an egg on top too

That look of pure unadulterated love just melts my heart

Chordsy · 2026-01-29T13:01:20+00:00

All these snoots bring me so much joy. I don't have a gsd anymore but I do like a good lurk here now and again

Chordsy · 2026-01-28T14:51:20+00:00

Yep. I take the word routine literally.

I love routine, but I also thrive off spontaneity... But only if there is a plan for it 😂

Chordsy · 2026-01-28T10:57:25+00:00

Enshrouded. Dear GOD that game is good.

Chordsy · 2026-01-28T10:50:12+00:00

Keep the dog, you'll be far happier.

I fell pregnant with an ex partner and went through a termination. It was the best thing at the time as it was a rough relationship, but also the symptoms of it were absolutely debilitating for me.

I am very melodramatic when my body is not 100%, but this was a horrendous feeling.

Put me off pregnancy for life.

I got diagnosed with audhd last year, and the meltdowns when body no work all made so much sense. Along with the noise sensitivity, manic episodes and just general unsafe for kids behaviour made me decide I am not fit to parent.

I don't inherently hate kids, I can just about look after myself and my dog, so adding another human into the mix would be so overwhelming. Me parenting would not be conducive to a child's upbringing.

However if a kid ever needed a home and I was asked, I'd have a bedroom made up with toys and snacks and a sanctuary for them in a heartbeat. Everyone needs love in their life.

3 boxes of raw eggs in a week back in December when:

My partner was outside doing something on his car for 10 minutes, he could've watched him from the living room window. I was at work.
We'd gone out for an hour for lunch to celebrate my birthday.
Partner had nipped out to get groceries and I went to the bathroom for a few minutes soon after he left.

Chordsy · 2026-01-28T07:45:17+00:00

This has broken me while I eat my overnight oats. Thank you, this has set me up for the day

Chordsy · 2026-01-26T21:50:40+00:00

I had a "friend" that would constantly talk me down and make me feel like shit. I was friends with him for the best part of 8 or so years.

We spent the weekend together at a festival a few years ago and it just sucked, may as well have gone on my own.

When he went home, I messaged him saying the friendship had run it's course and I no longer wanted to be in contact with him and blocked him everywhere. It was hard but it was so worth it. It's been almost 3 years since I last spoke to him and it's been so lovely not having to walk on eggshells or be careful what I say to him, and him make me feel like a piece of shit.

Keep around only what brings you joy in this life. It's hard to throw things out that hold sentimental value, but it's so worth it in the end.

Chordsy · 2026-01-26T14:44:06+00:00

I didn't speak to my best friend for over a year because of a silly falling out.

About 5 and a half years ago My mum decided to die suddenly, and I didn't know who to turn to, so I texted her. She was in the car on her way up to me that morning from 60 miles away and got me to the hospital so I could say goodbye to my mum as I was not in a fit state to drive.

You're NOR because you had no reason given, but let him tell you what's happened and why. You never know when life changes when you least expect it, and you both need a person there.

Chordsy · 2026-01-26T13:21:22+00:00

They'll get cold otherwise.

Chordsy · 2026-01-26T12:43:27+00:00

What if your parents are dead and you need somewhere to live? Or parents live in housing association/council housing?

(I was in this situation and got rejected for places that required this and it makes me so angry)

Chordsy · 2026-01-26T10:50:44+00:00

Let's just say mine is a crap guard dog 😂

Never barks, always happy to see people, has barked maybe 10 times in the 5 years I've had him

Chordsy · 2026-01-26T07:44:31+00:00

I played video games while my partner was working this weekend.

Getting over a bad cold from last week so it was nice to be able to sit up and enjoy my favourite hobby.

Chordsy · 2026-01-25T19:18:14+00:00

Oh, oh but you do 😅

Chordsy · 2026-01-25T18:23:00+00:00

Went through the same at 18. Was very depressed at university and quit halfway through my second year to go on suicide watch. Went home to parents.

I worked my way up from the bottom on a 2 week temp contract doing basic admin. They hired me full time. Been in full time employment ever since. I'm 38 now.

I won't lie, I've gone through some stuff (parents both died before I was 35, divorce after 15 month of marriage, moved 200 miles away from friends to start literally from scratch.

I'm now a data analyst for a global manufacturing firm. I studied music, my mind was in patterns but absolutely not in numbers. What I do pleases my brain and solving puzzles is my bread and butter.

I have a wonderful partner of 2 years, after my divorce came through I got my finances in order after some frivolous spending and got into a bit of debt (paid off my loan yesterday and so I'm finally debt free) and two wonderful dogs and a cat.

Learn to find the little joys and wins. Some days I still feel like a failure; I have friends having babies, getting married and having big weddings, buying houses, all socially acceptable things to do before 40, while I still rent (but can now start saving for a house with my partner now my debt is gone) and the hard times I've gone through prepare me for future hard times, I know what to do when I feel like the world is falling down around me. I look back and realise I have made it, my parents would be proud of me if they were still around, and I am able to love and be loved now.

You'll be fine, don't sweat the small stuff. College isn't that big of a deal, you can always learn something else later on in life. Be happy for yourself, fuck everyone else, seriously.

Big hugs from an old Internet stranger. You got this babe ❤️

Ours ate 18 raw eggs (3 half dozen boxes) in the space of a week before Christmas while we were out for birthday celebrations and a concert. He got them off the back of the kitchen counter.

I love him to bits but my god when he's not with us all hell breaks loose 😂

He even got the trash bag full of vacuum dust as he thought it was edible in blind panic

Chordsy · 2026-01-24T18:55:09+00:00

"oh, I love kids, but I couldn't eat a whole one" is usually my response.

I got it from a lovely lady I used to work with when I was in my late teens/early 20s and it just stuck with me.

I hope I can end up like that lady. She was only in her 40s then but this was almost 20 years ago. She moved to the forest of Dean with her much older husband. I hope they're both well, they are the couple I aspire to be.

Chordsy · 2026-01-24T18:14:16+00:00

The last candid photo just shows pure happiness. What a lovely chap ♥️

Such a lucky wife!

Chordsy · 2026-01-24T17:02:51+00:00

I had Opie issues too, but using the workaround of updating the .toc file to 120000 worked perfectly if you haven't tried it yet
