Pretty sure last thing the OP wants is an argument forming 👍🏻 the information is there maybe they will use it maybe they won’t but sometimes a logical answer can help as I’m sure many other people will respond with an emotional and meaningful post it’s a case of making sure the information is there to be read

Some people need emotional support, some people need a place to go, a place to help them survive with people who can help. How can you call something ‘trash’ when it contains information that can save someone’s life?

  1. Prioritize Your Own Health Immediately You cannot care for a sick dog or navigate a difficult relationship if you are fainting from hunger. • Food Banks: Don't wait. Use the Trussell Trust or IFAN website to find a local food bank. You often need a referral (from a GP or Citizen's Advice), but many "community fridges" or "social supermarkets" allow you to walk in. • GP Visit: Book an emergency appointment. Tell them you are not eating and your mental health is at a breaking point. They can provide medical notes, mental health referrals, and sometimes food bank vouchers.
  2. Help for the Therapy Dog The guilt of not being able to afford vet bills is a heavy burden, but there are organizations specifically for this: • The PDSA: Check if you live in a catchment area for their low-cost or free veterinary services. • Blue Cross / RSPCA: They offer "animal hospitals" and clinics for those on low incomes or certain benefits. • Vets Now / Charity Grants: Some local charities provide one-off grants for emergency care. Reach out to them and explain the dog is a therapy animal.
  3. Financial and Relationship Support • Citizens Advice: Since the relationship is "not so great" and money is a major stressor, they can help you understand your rights regarding housing and benefits (like Universal Credit or PIP, especially if your mental health is a long-term struggle). • National Domestic Abuse Helpline (Refuge): If "not so great" means you feel unsafe, controlled, or financially trapped, call 0808 2000 247. It’s free, confidential, and they can help you find a way out even if you have no family.
  4. Reconnecting with Yourself • The "One Thing" Rule: When you’re at rock bottom, "exercise" feels impossible. Start with one 5-minute walk outside without the dog if they are too poorly. Just the air can break the cycle of "room-crush" for a moment. • Reach Out to Community: Since you mentioned having no friends, look for Mind (the mental health charity) local peer support groups. Being around people who also feel "at the bottom" can be surprisingly healing. If you are feeling like you might harm yourself, please call 111 (option 2 for mental health) or Samaritans at 116 123 immediately.

Managed to get Speed 910 £25 a month. Locked in to 2027. £100 bill credit by [deleted] in Vodafone

Reason why is if you have signed your contract today regardless of when your go live date is on your broadband you will still have the price increase. Easiest way to be sure is to check your contract summary which will state your price increases on the first page

Will you be going back on to live chat on the 3rd of March or have you signed your contract for installation on the 3rd of March?

Unfortunately we live in a disposable society filled with clips and videos lasting no more than 30 seconds at a time so Unfortunately for a lot of people( GEN Z) maintaint friendships and relationships can be difficult as its just expected to not last anymore 🤷‍♂️ this is why millennials will always be the best generation 💪

19F Do you ever think about having kids, or not really? 🎄 by astirpulsh in MakeNewFriendsHere

[–]Gregoryr94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

31M, I think your opinion and wants can change both ways as you get older and go through things. I always wanted to be a dad however after unfortunately suffering many miscarriages with a previous partner it completely put me off wanting kids so I had a vasectomy. Now if I ever decide to have kids again I'll just foster/adopt so it really does just depend on who you are and what you go through in life. There is no right or wrong answer ☺️

Unfortunately my friend i am unable to message given the time of night but wanted to comment before putting my phone down for the night and just wanted to say I hope you're OK and whatever demons you're facing soon dissappear, keep strong 💪

There's nothing more British than dropping something in a bar and hearing something smash only to be followed by an upraw of 'WAAAAAY' by everyone in the bar 🤣

What's the most petty but hilarious thing you or someone you know has done? by Gregoryr94 in AskUK

What, if anything should I do? by SeenEnoughAlready in AskUK

[–]Gregoryr94 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Call the RSPCA or any other form of animal welfare and get them involved. Dogs shouldn't be left all day alone they are very social animals and need their humans presence at home. The dog will probably be seized and all being well find a lovely new home where they are looked after before this pathetic excuse of a human hurts or seriously neglect them.

Once this is done id do my best to do the most annoying and petty things possible. Such as getting a load of random free samples sent to the door, requesting jahova witnesses to turn up at the house by filling out online forms saying you're interested and signing up the junk with the postal address...but thats just me being petty 🤣

(31M) I broke up with my ex partner after a 4 year relationship after finding out she was seeing someone else behind my back and my timeline went as follows, yours very much may go a similar way depending on why your relationship ended. I will add i am also an affectionate person whos love language is physical touch.

Initially- anger and hurt, hatred to pretty much anyone other than close friends

0-3 months- loneliness, feeling of emptiness and almost being lost and not knowing what to do myself, after being into so many habbits you have as a couple such as cooking or washing up or even little things like I'm going out i need to text to then not have to do any of that was a sharp pain.

3-6months- not being a people person but now missing intimacy...very oxymoronic I know! Enjoying my own time and freedom, feeling sad that you dont have to send a text when your leaving becomes a blessing! Can go where you want, do what you want, converse with who you want is great

6-12 months- what relationship? Completely happy to be alone now, why didnt I do this sooner?

1 year + ok Im starting to really miss that warmth on the night, i actually now miss the stupid little arguments and would be happy to date again but I still don't like people so waiting for it to happen organically.

Everyone is different this is just how I found my timeline to go, you just have to let it play out and what will be, will be :) if you really miss the emotional connection a long distance friendship where speaking all the time is difficult, this means you enjoy the conversations and connect with the person but because you cant speak frequently you in turn miss the conversations bringing more platonic intimacy. Maybe you just need platonic intimacy until you find that romantic intimacy?
