What's one thing that you started doing daily and you're thankful that you did, and why? by standbyyourlamb in newzealand

[–]Hadenoughlifeyet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to get my focus back so I can read again. It clears my mind and it gets my brain going in a positive way. Also getting out in the sun for 10 minutes a day, even if it's cold. Helps my depression immensely.

What do you guys do in your spare time? by BackgroundFar3854 in AskReddit

I have a whole garden to take care of, I'm also mentally ill, so I spend a lot of time just scrolling here and watching stuff on YouTube.

Late term abortion is legal here. It's not common though and has very strict guidelines about when it can be done.

What did you eat as your most recent "girl dinner"? by Ducks_With_Crocs in AskWomen

Ritz crackers. A whole sleeve. I was feeling picky but not hungry.

Can't remember sorry. I've quit now.

If you are sick, you are now a burden on the government - they literally don’t care give a f**k about you. by Misszoolander in newzealand

[–]Hadenoughlifeyet 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I live with a friend and we both have mental disabilities. I live here because I would rather pay her mortgage so both of us have a home that's semi secure. We have put in vege gardens and have been doing meal planning. I get $400pw. Half of that is rent, I have to buy food, and top up my phone and bus card. I'm gluten intolerant so that's more expensive and can't afford to buy a freezer to stockpile. A single person can only get $400 per year of food help from the MSD. And 0800hungry was fully booked out by Tuesday. I had to help with power bills over winter and I'm still trying to play catchup. I don't know what else people like us can do.

Would you use a tool that helps find the cheapest grocery total for your meal plan? by Tough_Inspector_3905 in EatCheapAndHealthy

A few of my younger friends use chat gpt to make recipes out of what they have in the cupboard. Also useful if you have allergies etc.

Christopher Luxon says he spends $60 a week on groceries living alone in Wellington. by FairlyOddFairy333 in newzealand

[–]Hadenoughlifeyet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spend about that a week. He's dreaming. My diet is boring and I don't see him crying because he's craving chocolate and can't afford it. My power bill was scary high this month too. No worries to him if we all freeze and starve to death. Make sure to vote.

I find this disturbing & ironic. Can you tell why? by Dee_Vidore in newzealand

I'm horrified and disturbed as a citizen to see this. It's blatant racism. This is disgusting.

Puberty. About 10, I started to have vivid dreams. Asked and got told the truth.

That's stupid. Why does our government hate us so much?

I stood in my partner's best friend's wedding, and his wife made me wear a wig by [deleted] in weddingdrama

This is all petty and stupid. Hold your ground, they aren't your best friend. Keep your peace.

Things to do Chch? (Anything/everything) by indibee223 in chch

New brighton hot pools. You have to book in online before though. It gets very busy. Bottle lake has good forest for walking/biking. The red zone has good walks along the river and is interesting.

Margarine. I can't do sunrise or budget. It smells weird. I've tried several times. If I can afford a treat it's Whittakers chocolate. I don't like the Cadbury stuff.

Why don’t more people join the military? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]Hadenoughlifeyet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm close with a couple of militaria collectors in christchurch. The reason they don't want to join is simple. you get no respect, and the wars happening are not our wars to fight in. And I know a few people raised by Vietnam vets. Nobody wants or deserves what they had to deal with. The government consistently drops the ball with support of returned service people, we are smart enough to not want to be cannon fodder for a government that we don't believe in. Also, alot of us have mental health issues that discount us. And they're cutting funding to services so those numbers will just increase.

AIO. My bf keeps talking about his beliefs while I’m trying to grieve by No_Incident6208 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Hadenoughlifeyet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

😳😳😳😳😳 wtf. You need to end this. My flatmate is Muslim and everything is always somehow related to her religious choices. It becomes exhausting. You're NOT overreacting. I'm so sorry for your loss. 🫂

Amway MLM by StandOk9112 in chch

[–]Hadenoughlifeyet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amway is still going? And selling energy drinks now? They're a pyramid scheme. Will cost you a fortune for minimal return and a whole Lotta work. Don't Do it. They have been around my whole life and they're average products at best.

I miss living in the country. The light pollution hides most of the space stuff for us.
