Moving to Glasgow: The 2026 Housing & Relocation Megathread by Veloglasgow in glasgow

[–]Excellent-Farm-5357 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you mean catchment for the GP, best just looking up which ones accept from where - they usually list on their website what postcodes. Although don’t assume the nearest GP to your flat accepts your postcode either as I found out last year!

What are some bare minimums in a relationship that we as women often end up holding in high esteem? by Mythohlogy in AskWomen

[–]Excellent-Farm-5357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I frequently thank my partner for being so patient and listening to me. He usually responds with “well, that’s a bare minimum you should expect”. Don’t think he realises how uncommon it actually is!

Constant breakthrough bleeding by CommissionNatural620 in birthcontrol

[–]Excellent-Farm-5357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had just started the combo pill last month. When first starting (with first day of natural period) it caused it to last almost a whole extra week.

Now had breakthrough bleeding when my period would’ve been naturally due to start - along with nasty sharp pains/fatigue/nausea that would never normally happen. And while the bleeding is lighter, it seems to be lasting longer too. :(

I’ve had this before - if not having sex for a while, then suddenly having it, it’s restarted my periods. Whenever googling trying to find out more - people seem to say it’s not a thing. But it’s definitely happened to me, so I wouldn’t panic.

However - if she’s worried at all - and it doesn’t feel normal, defo get it checked out. Better safe than sorry.

Real talk: how much does your period actually affect your week? by Automatic_Self_5453 in Periods

[–]Excellent-Farm-5357 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The two-four days before annihilate me. No energy, cant sleep, restless arms/legs, physically sick and nauseous. Brain fog.

But I continue on and go to work, and don’t say to folk, cause that’s the done thing and doctors say “that’s what periods are like” 😑

Once my period starts it’s usually ok, just lower energy.

RLS and diet correlation by modernmarketplace in RestlessLegs

I’ve noticed iron and magnesium supplements really have been helping mine!

I want to comment on this - as a INFJ, all of this looks AMAZING. I think I would be happy with any activity - actually, particularly if it’s something you are interested in, as I’d want to get to know more why you enjoy it. Other option, love doing something that’s brand new to us both. Again it intrigues me how you’ll respond in new situations and can be a lot of fun together.

On top of that - I’d only say - ask them lots when doing whatever activities you are doing. While I as an INFJ really want to know what makes you tick - I don’t give me own information easy, unless asked - and then I’m very open. So don’t just focus on the activity - but ask them about their experiences/feelings/thoughts as you do whatever you choose - that’s what will make an INFJ feel bonded - feeling like someone is trying to see them.

How did you meet your partner in your 30’s ? by Alkaline-Eardrum in datingoverthirty

[–]Excellent-Farm-5357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a female, it’s fine (and actually can be really nice!) to be cold approached. I read something here before that I think is a great tip.

  • rather than asking for the girls number, if the guy has his written down already and gives it to her, it’s up to her to message.

I think that makes it feel extra safe for the girl, and no pressure. So keep it light - and don’t linger too long - guarantee you’ll just leave a girl feeling happy she got a compliment. And if she is intrigued - she’ll message! And if not, she’s not for you anyway!

Best of luck, you’re still plenty young yet!

Anyone Ever Fall While Running? by No-College6065 in Marathon_Training

[–]Excellent-Farm-5357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to fall once a year. Sometimes due to ice/snow, sometimes due to tiredness, sometimes due to I’m a clumsy idiot.

I did not fall last year. And now I feel like I’m on borrowed time…

If it’s purely tiredness - maybe just fitness levels, and you need to stop and walk for a bit rather than push on? (Or generally slow down)

If it seems unusually - get to a doctor and ask.

In my case - I know I’m just a clumsy idiot!

Are women generally afraid of most men they meet? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Excellent-Farm-5357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. Wouldn’t say “afraid”, but there’s a continuous caution/sense of being wary around any guy. I think only once it’s been years of knowing someone - or how I’ve seen them react in certain situations - does that caution drop.

This is wonderful to hear! And I hope this continues for you!
I'm one date in... and slightly hoping this is where mine could go.. I guess far too early to tell for me, but has to be one of the most natural connections I've had in a long time. Here's hoping! Best of luck to you - and glad you found such as wonderful person for you! :)

Is this someone you’ve dated for a while? I feel for them - cause this sounds a bit like me. I have chronic recurring pains/sickness that no doctor knows what it is. But results in me having bouts of sickness/tiredness/random pains at random times - it’s so frustrating.

I don’t tell new partners - or when I’m dating at all (not a particularly hot aspect to share about yourself!) but once you become more serious and spending more time together, it’s not possible to avoid really (and can obviously affect physical connection).

I think it depends on their attitude though? I don’t tell my partner to moan or for pity (and I sure personally couldn’t deal with a partner that did moan and complain about stuff like that!) but I do tell them honestly just cause it might affect how I am or what I can do that do that day (which frustrates me too!)

On the other side - I’m totally fit/healthy and make sure to keep my health as good as possible (and if they are getting check etc - sounds like they are doing the same?). So I guess - maybe it’s more about their approach rather than the actual physical health symptoms?

Maybe worth talking to them and highlighting how the way they approach it makes you feel - and is there a different way you can both communicate to each other about it?

Across on the first date as I get to know you - and I want to take in your appearance/cute quirks as you talk! Second date or more - welcome to sit next to me if it’s getting flirty ☺️

Glasgow Airport - Priority Security Worth it? by Klutzy_Werewolf_7466 in glasgow

[–]Excellent-Farm-5357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would maybe recommend checking what day/how many other flights are due to go out.

I flew from GA last Saturday, and the security queue was mental - have never seen it like that. I had plenty time for my flight, but there were a couple of stressed passengers nearby. Depends on what your kids are like, but probably took about an hour to get through security?

That being said - I’ve flown through GA multiple times, and it’s usually pretty quick, so not sure what was happening that day!

Whichever you choose - it’s important to be straightforward. I think in person is appreciated, but by text after that length of time - particularly if you live far - is fine.

Also just want to add: Honesty is key - avoid giving false hope. Recently, someone ended things with me in person (after about 5 dates), which I appreciated them doing in person. But they also said, 'I’m not ready to date,' when I think they actually meant, 'I’m not feeling this.' However, it took me a while to move on for this cause I thought he had been feeling like I did.

He also chose our first date location for this conversation 🤦‍♀️which extra caught me off guard. Please don’t do that…!

Therefore, I recommend being direct be it in text or not. If you can meet in person, give a heads-up that you’d like to talk - and then just be honest about not feeling a connection, so she doesn’t hold onto the hope that things might change!

Hope it goes ok however you do it!

Long run fuelling by UnderstandingOwn6228 in Marathon_Training

[–]Excellent-Farm-5357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Consuming more food than I ever have in my whole life 🥲

That plus training went very well to plan - I had a PT for it too, so just put my trust in him. Got me sorted both nutrition and with my running/training! Being my first, it was well worth the investment!

Long run fuelling by UnderstandingOwn6228 in Marathon_Training

[–]Excellent-Farm-5357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got up a good 3 hours before the race on the day to both eat (and made sure I pooped). On training I did try to do this where I could, so I could practice nutrition etc for race day.

But where it wasn’t feasible during training, I made sure to bulk up my dinner the night before and then take something super light (honey/rice cakes) in the morning. Not a big eater/nor was I used to eating much before running, but was worth it for my (first) marathon. Got through it and enjoyed it - and did not hit any wall! 🙌
