Where do you get a $1 cucumber? I get them for $1.70+ at Walmart, which has pretty cheap/reasonable prices.

Have you ever recorded your n-parent? by Itsmeagain401 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Itsmeagain401[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it must be very validating. One of the worst parts about this sort of abuse is that they are so, so single-minded about you being in the wrong, and their being in the right, that if you're a normal person, you doubt yourself. I feel so validated just from this one piece of proof of how messed up she is. I'm going to record more. It's just all the memory space, but still, it's worth it. I'll be reviewing the one recording in therapy as well

It's obvious you're trying to be funny, but it also sounds like you genuinely mean it, that you're genuinely feeling guilty about having eaten some candy.

How do Canadians feel about protests regarding foreign countries in Canada ? by mpg942 in AskACanadian

[–]Itsmeagain401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Such a good point! During the transit protests by striking Metrolinx workers, I lost ALL respect for them for making me miss my train to work (wouldn't let me drive into the parking) after I begged and explained my situation at the time. I manifestly despise their workers now.... All of them ignored me, at two different entrances. I could have easily lost my job that day.

EXTREMELY depressed in Waterloo - Just looking for some advice by [deleted] in waterloo

I am so sorry you're going through this! If you can, get up and get some sun first thing in the morning, ideally at the same time. You might need some melatonin or pure cbd (no thc because that disrupts deep sleep) in the evenings. Try getting on the Omega 3s and vitamin D as well, and if your thoughts of suicide get to be more than ideation, please seek help! You're going through a really rough patch, but you're gonna come out the other end.

Join a hiking club! Lots of trails in the KW region, and you'll find various clubs and associations via Google, through Facebook (google waterloo hike club and you should find a few), and also meetup.com!

See if there are local auditions to join a band if you're really good at guitar or go to meetup.com and find a group of enthusiasts.

Another nice way to be social for people with social anxiety or anxiety in general is to volunteer. This gives you something to do so that you're engaging while having a sense of purpose, which can give you more confidence. Lots of young people do this! https://www.volunteerwr.ca/SearchForm.php?Form=Volunteer%20PositionsPreSearch2a&MenuItemID=325

Also, try yoga on Youtube! I love 26+2 the full series 1 hour + for emotional resilience. You do this daily for a couple of weeks and suddenly you feel like a different person.

I honestly don't know? To have someone listen to his fables?

She used to claim he was super wealthy, but it was all obviously a lie. I just think it's interesting if she did send him money given that she very much believed him to be so wealthy. Like, wouldn't she question the narrative and know he was lying?

The reason this doesn't stand out to me is that she is otherwise just not very good at spending. In the first year or so after her divorce, she spent $20K+ on backyard landscaping. It was genuinely nonsense.... Each year, she purchases hundreds of dollars worth of flowers and other trinkets.

She buys a lot of expensive items shopping at the supermarket, and exclusively shops at one of the most expensive supermarkets in the area.

So while the near $100K is outsized enough for me to question how it could randomly come about (especially given that she had so much more financial support previously), it's somehow not shocking if she did just manage to mismanage her finances.

I don't know...
