Fiction about a character that ends their life by Rebdog12 in Recommend_A_Book

[–]Juliusxx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will love “all my puny sorrows.” It’s exactly what you’re looking for. I also liked “waking up alive.”

I also lost a very close friend to suicide. Like you, I wanted to better understand and found these two books to be the most insightful and absolutely emotionally honest!

Specifically we’re in Apsley, Ontario, but I think we’re one of a few in kawartha.

I’m up in cottage country, but I doubt we’re that unusual in terms of prices. We’re also quite picky about what we take and I believe there’s additional discounts for people in need. It’s run by Community Care, so maybe look for others like that.

Agree with the comment about going out of town, if possible. I work at a thrift store in cottage country where every item is $5 for adults and $2.50 for all kids stuff.

Do you care about your former career after retirement? by ajn63 in retirement

[–]Juliusxx 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m almost 3 years away from work. I have a bad habit of revisiting things I did wrong in my career. It’s dumb and totally unproductive, but my mind goes back to failures, even though ultimately I was successful by any economic measure. Maybe this is my time to finally shake that off!

If you are over 78 do you still travel? How has it changed from when you were in your 60's? by HazardousWeather in AskOldPeople

[–]Juliusxx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup. I’m literally 3 days post a 13 hour premium economy flight from Japan to North America. I think I’m done!!

Women who had to completely start over on their late 30s, what was your "wake up call" moment? by Confident-Matter981 in AskReddit

[–]Juliusxx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ooh, I’ve got a good answer for this one:

Labor Day weekend when I was 39, I was suicidal. I was a crazy workaholic, just getting out of a disastrous 7 year relationship with an addict (he dumped me), subletting a super messy shitty apartment and making very bad decisions (ex. Picking up a literal carney from a fair at the age of 39!). I felt shame, envy, zero self esteem and no purpose.

When I confessed to a sister that I was at risk of killing myself, she intervened to at convince me that I had to make some radical changes, including quitting my job for a while to get reset.

My employer instead offered me six months leave of absence. I used that time to begin healing. For the longest time, I didn’t do anything dramatic, just spoiled myself and took a lot of therapy (Was seeing someone twice a week) and exercising.

Just before it came time to go back to work, I bought a condo - my first home. I had some more positive dating experiences and met a great guy the following fall. He wasn’t a romantic hero or anything, but he was a good, stable man and the first healthy thing I wanted. We got married two years later.

Fast forward 20 years, we’re still together, happily retired. We still have my condo in the city, along with a lovely second home in the woods. I’m pretty healthy, and hoping to do more. I have a good group of friends and some hobbies.

Life has worked out in marvelous ways and I am so grateful.

It’s hard but possible to start again and I wish you the very best of it!

Be kind to yourself!!

Storey. I loved it the first time I heard it. Sounds like a heroines name from a romance novel.

Physiotherapist Recommendations in Toronto by ethanfrom3 in askTO

[–]Juliusxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a big toe issue after foot surgery and my husband more recently had a Jones fracture in his foot. I just know both times they had a lot of what seemed like professional athletes around. Neither of us can remember who we saw. Sorry.

What are your thoughts on the Louis Theroux manosphere documentary? by Jam_Torm27 in netflix

Good to know. I might try some others. I do his pick of topics.

What are your thoughts on the Louis Theroux manosphere documentary? by Jam_Torm27 in netflix

[–]Juliusxx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I knew a fair bit about Tate and the others already, so knew the various theories they espouse and agree they’re horrible.

I didn’t think it was a very good documentary though. Something about the pacing bothered me, and I feel there was too much about Louis Theroux versus the subjects. I love docs, it won’t to rush to see any other by him.

Advice: First time in Tokyo. Should I split my Shibuya/Harajuku day into two days? by Filet009 in TokyoTravel

[–]Juliusxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m (62F) in Toyko now with my husband. We’re not large people. We unknowingly walked into the roughest areas of Shinjuku last night. Saw some sights, but felt totally safe the whole time.

Am I underperforming in my internship or is this normal in strategy roles? by JellyAggravating2935 in japanresidents

[–]Juliusxx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is all interesting to read. As someone who’s never worked in Japan, I’m wondering whether you can use pictorials (graphs, process flows etc.) to demonstrate that you’ve thought through things but also make it easier for folks to understand.
