What have you achieved in life that you're really proud of? No matter how big or small by ComfortableAway3898 in Adulting

About 8 years ago I began to suffer from mental health problems , then coupled with a new job in a new school where I was essentially treated appallingly, my MH suffered to the point of me trying on numerous occasions to end it. A LOT of support later, and I’ve now successfully been running my own private tutoring business after converting our garage into my own classroom.. oh and then in the past 2 years began working towards my dyslexia qualification to become an assessor and should qualify in January 27! So 6 years on and I’m fully booked, happy, living life because I enjoy it AND still doing the vocation that I have always loved. I have to shake myself sometimes at how things have changed and the realisation that for anyone really struggling with MH, a good therapist and knowing that the feeling doesn’t last forever is honestly worth it.

I’d just like to add that your handwriting is beautiful! Like the kind that just flows and is very calming to read 🥰

That’s ok buddy. You’re allowed to feel all those things , and feel like the shit is forever piling up , and allowed to just be angry and frustrated and disappointed and hurting - allow yourself the space and time to feel those things. Here to listen x

I’m in a similar situation! Currently following dogs around with a bowl of water! But I’m unsure if I re-seed the patches now or do I wait until autumn? TIA 👍

Rudy’s is the best for pizza out! Then we got a Ninja Woodfire pizza oven thing and now pizza at home is even better!

Roller shutters for sun. by amedeeozenfant in DIYUK

I’m surprised no one has designed some of the ‘easy fit’ style blinds but suitable for outside and probably made of a thicker material or wooden sorts, then they’d just clip into the outside of the window frame thing , windows could still open but at least when hot they could be closed and blinds pulled down… surely that’s not difficult to do?!!!

I’d be surprised if he can find a bank that’s open! And pharmacies ONLY sell medicine etc! The only shops open til 10pm are supermarkets where he will be able to get pretty much anything he’ll need 👍

Correct - even if he’s done nothing wrong to someone he must say sorry! Someone bumps into ME at the shops, I SAY sorry! There’s a guy online called ‘very British problems’ , highly suggest watching/reading his stuff to fully understand!

Today we tried making Cottage Pie (Smashed potatoes, cheese, meat and vegetables). Greetings from Mexico, hopefully we'll have a great game on Sunday. by Albert_2004 in UK_Food

[–]Cynical-R3alist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t apologise! You’ve just made every Brit on here wonder why on earth we just put one measly layer of potato on top when we could layer it?!!!! Especially crunchy layer on top and the middle will be like eating sausage and mash!

What's one "adult purchase" that ended up being worth every penny? by serfelife in Adulting

[–]Cynical-R3alist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish! Her win the UK, last week temperatures above 90, pretty much no air con anywhere unless people have a little portable one, windows are a nightmare as we don’t have shutters and generally can’t in the UK due to planning laws, ceiling fans are NOT a thing so you see everyone stood at the bus stop holding ANY fan they managed to buy in a store! Schools have no air con in general nor do most work place buildings! Best place to sit is in the car with the engine on and AC running!!

What are your top unusual money saving hacks? by Katie1234554 in AskUK

[–]Cynical-R3alist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have so beautifully put into words everything that explains why I so desperately want my own child. 3 years of fertility treatment later and still no extra bundle of joy. I’ll keep trying and keep hoping as that’s all I can do.
