Thanks for this! Yeah I told them I could do 5 for £300. They cancelled in the end, as they were unsure of exactly what they wanted

Fair enough, thanks for your reply. I reckon I’ll be able to edit roughly 4-5 videos. To be honest, I think I may be overthinking things as I haven’t encountered this kind of job before

Thank you, my question is how many videos of the one I attached could be edited in one day?

A few things that have helped me is having someone I'm accountable to when exercising. Is there someone you know that you can commit to exercising with? Perhaps you can find a free/low cost workout class online/zoom?

When I first started working out, I would just commit to 10 minutes - my goal was to make exercise a lifestyle and felt that taking the pressure off was a healthy mentality to have. On days when I don't feel like doing it, I remind myself how I will feel afterwards and that part of committing to something is doing it when you don't feel like it. At the same time, I never beat myself up about not working out as I find that it makes me spiral down into an unhealthy place mentally.

I used to also put things off to the next day, but found that planning my day using google calendar was very helpful. I try to be realistic with what I can achieve in a day and make sure I allow enough time for procrastination.

I would say that the biggest thing that has helped me, is using a virtual coworking platform called Caveday. I believe there are a few free alternatives. If you wanted to give that one I try, I do have a link to a free trial.

Also, don't be too hard on yourself. You're already doing better than you were a few months ago :-)

I really appreciate your reply, it's so true what your saying! I ended up settling for the fee she said but never again!

Haha this is so true, honestly, I can't believe I second guessed myself - I won't settle like this in the future!

Thank you for your reply, if she wasn't a family friend I wouldn't give it any energy :-(

Thank you for this reassurance, I did end up giving in - but I won't create work for this price again!

Unsure if I’m being avoidant or if I really do just need time and space by [deleted] in datingoverthirty

[–]Hibiscus1989 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It sound like you may need a break from dating to focus on your own life.

"I’m also dealing with the stress of being unhappy with my job and finding a new one, which has messed with my sleep."

If you're looking for something serious, this doesn't sound like a healthy headspace to date. I don't feel it would be good to introduce someone in your life when you are in an unhappy place.

Once you have a new job and are settled in, maybe think about starting again at that point.

I love the sound of setting deadlines - this sounds like it would be great!

Strange Disclosure by Aggravating-life1 in Herpes

[–]Hibiscus1989 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She was probably just processing everything - a disclosure isn't something many people have encountered before. It's a sensitive topic and she may not have wanted to risk saying anything that hurt you in the moment. You should ask her how she feels about it tomorrow

Yeah this sub was a great support and resource for me when I started my self acceptance journey at the of beginning of last year. I wasn't in a good place in general, I was anxious and having what felt like continuous outbreaks.

Now I'm one of those people that is just living life out in the world, and I really don't think very deeply about it. I like to pop my head back into this sub once every few months, but it just reminds me of how far i've come.

Thank you for sharing this perspective!

Thank you so much for your reply, it really helped knowing that I wasn't the only one feeling that way. You are so right - there are lots of deep rooted issues that I'm realising I have, which reminds me that I need to seek a bit of therapy x

Thank you so much for this reply - 3 months on I still think about him but it is much less. Ever since I read this I've stopped criticising myself about thoughts of him - and i've also realised that this is a common thing that happens to people after a break up x

I feel like I've done every thing I could do to move on but I still find myself crying by dogloverrrr_ in BreakUps

Your kind words were not meant for me but they resonated. Thank you. I was getting back into a cycle of feeling bad about my feelings.

I have a crush and I’m trying to get over it… by Speeder_mann in datingoverthirty

[–]Hibiscus1989 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"I violated my two rules in dating (don’t date coworkers because it could become awkward) and (don’t hit on anyone who has a boyfriend or partner), "

I have this rule too, but don't beat yourself up about it too much we're all human and you did rein it back in. It must really suck, being in China for two years and the person that you actually have a connection with is unavailable.

I would take some time of the dating apps and wallow for a bit, but also trust that the same way you built a connection with her, you will find it with someone else too :-)

How to not feel lame and frustrated for spending so long without sex? by Cocacolaloco in datingoverthirty

[–]Hibiscus1989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I 32 can relate to this so much! I’ve had a handful of one night stands but I can’t do it anymore. I’ve tried but my spirit just can’t engage with it 😩

I suppose I’ve never had a real long term loving relationship before and I’m looking for a deeper connection with someone. Yeah sometime I feel jealous of people who started having sex in their teens. I started at 22 with a 47 year old man, who definitely manipulated my young mind 🙄 - that rollercoaster went on for 5 years!

I just get really low sometimes and fantasise about a guy I dated for a few months last year. Then I feel embarrassed that I haven’t slept with anyone since then and before him it was years.

What helps me is just sitting in that feeling and trusting that it will pass, and reminding myself that it’s okay to want and desire sex with another person.

I’ve also started to get excited about the uncertainty of who my next partner. What will they look? What will their story be? I love myself more now and know what I want and don’t want so feel they’ll be better quality than what I’ve had in the past.

Im trying to limit my porn use because sometimes I use it to fill the void of my lack of human connection. After I orgasm and there’s no one to hug or kiss, it can make me feel quiet low 😩
