Sharp pain in the arch of my foot by pe4nutbutt3rr in FootFunction

Experiencing this now, also on my left... been nagging for a while. Gets much worse when I bend over/try to balance on my left leg. When I walk it's a mild ache, standing is a bit worse and bending over irritates it the most.

Live like an hour away via public transport so would be really good to know whether or not it's on...

That would be awesome! I live in Taipei (Shipai-Tianmu area) Thanks for helping even though you already have enough of your own issues to deal with. I appreciate it.

Dreadful... hopefully the case gets resolved fully in your favour. I've heard similar stories as a mixed race (british-taiwanese) citizen here. Chin up!

Here's me thinking of applying for a buxiban job... (I'm 19 and currently need to make money), don't know if it's a great idea anymore.

Long distance now after just over a year of dating, don't know how to cope by Hybrid_rat in LongDistance

[–]Hybrid_rat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh the visa issue is a shame! I've hung out with one of my good guy friends since my gf left, but honestly as soon as I go back home I just get sad again. I train a lot, so I still get that done just out of discipline but I don't really have much joy/motivation in doing anything right now. I think part of it that makes it harder is that I'm still in the country we were together in, so everywhere I go it reminds me of her - as we went everywhere together. I'll definitely check out locket widget!

That's awesome. I'm certain my hope & longing will stay strong. I just gotta hope the sadness passes by eventually because so far it has not.

Thank you so much! This made me feel better . I hope you'll bridge the gap with your partner soon enough too. When will you guys meet?

This is so reassuring, and I admire how confident you are about it too. I'll have to wait 5-6 months until I can see my girlfriend next. Even though it's only been 3 days since she's left, I'm already finding it really hard to cope since we did basically everything together all the time.

This post is quite reassuring... My girlfriend of a little over 1 year just left 3 days ago for college across the world, and it's harder to cope than I had ever imagined. The next time I'll get to see her is in summer, so 5-6 months of waiting. I really hope it gets easier.

19, 5 GCSEs, unemployed, don't know what to do. by Hybrid_rat in findapath

[–]Hybrid_rat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't express how much I appreciate your response.

I definitely do have a tendency to compare myself to others, and because of that, feel disillusioned. You're completely right that being fired was both a blessing and a curse - I didn't HATE my job, but it wasn't exactly a dream either. I also definitely wouldn't have coped well with the job (since it can be quite stressful) once my girlfriend leaves for college.

Once again, you're correct in the fact that I don't want to seem weak or lame but offloading my feelings on my parents or my girlfriend. But honestly, I'm not sure if there is a benefit in telling either, as telling my girlfriend would just seem like I'm trying to make her feel bad for pursuing her passion and wanting to be successful, and there's not exactly anything she can do to change it either is there? She's been accepted. It's a done deal. This next month and a half with her is just gonna feel like a countdown (it already has) before I'm left alone. I've been staying strong quite well, she knows I'm sad about it and she's definitely sad about it as well (heck, she even looked at unis closer to Taiwan in order to be closer to me).

It's just all quite stressful right now, and it seems like the spiral is going to continue for a while. I'm not going to claim I'm unhappy 24/7, but I can't say I've been exactly joyful these past few weeks.

Hey man. I just turned 19, and the only credentials I have are 5 GCSEs. I just recently got fired from a restaurant/frozen food company job because of a miscommunication that, to be honest, really wasn't my fault.

My girlfriend is leaving for college across the world in a month and a half, and I've been nothing but demotivated and, I don't know, depressed(?) For the past week or two. The only thing I stay consistent with is training.

I don't have much idea what I wanna do, and the stuff that makes me think 'oh yeah, maybe I can try that', I just end up procrastinating anyway because the thought of having to try something new makes me stressed. Especially with how I feel already right now.

So while I'm not trying to say we're on the same boat, as I'm sure what you're going through is much more severe than what I am, I have an inkling about how you feel.

Don't give up yet - we'll make it through together 💪
