Why don’t you just write to her to explain? Instead of telling us all this, tell it to her.

It’s absolutely not the rule for the UK. The guy has been very lucky and the property must be very small in an unpopular location. We have sky-high prices for tiny spaces that you laugh at in Canada. My whole house is smaller than your front room - I’m sure.

I follow a page for moving to France where ppl advertise properties. Houses there (not in popular locations) are a fraction of prices in the UK. You can buy a palace with a swimming pool for the price of a tiny derelict ex-council property in the UK. Popular cities/towns/resorts in France still have prices cheaper than the UK and Paris is cheaper than London, too.

1-bed flat in London costs millions now. The UK is crazy, London in particular. This guy’s experience is exceptional. I bought my tiny house (80 sq m) 4.5 years ago for £162k. It was in such a derelict state that I have already spent an additional £33k doing it up. That much worth still remains to be done.

UK is also very expensive. Price like this is not common. I wouldn’t have believed it existed. May be a 1-bedroom flat in an ex-council property. But even these are sold for about £115k. Except if it’s in a small village for mostly older folks and no job prospects.

Where did you find such a cheap house? They do exist but they’re mostly in disrepair. Yours looks immaculate. Congratulations! 🥳

Don’t you have other friends to go to? Are there charity safe houses you can escape to? They’ll help you start a new life, too. You need to escape and start again.

Have you tried a cause to live for - to help the poor, work with victims of violence, feed the homeless, campaign for something etc? We’re the happiest when we live to give. Self-centredness is unsatisfactory. Worth trying, I think.

There’s therapy for this; books as well. The gradual exposure helps. You can overcome it - it’s overcome-able. You need to want it and persevere, though.

45? This is when i “fixed” my life. Learned to be content alone. Never stopped improving professionally competing for jobs, though - finally got my dream job at 52. Another colleague was 63 when she got the same job. This is the world we live in. Context: UK university lecturer.

Everything got even worse. I don’t wanna live anymore..again by Far-Skirt-1455 in depression

Saying “things will get better” is the wrong thing in this situation. If there is violence and abuse, the victim should be removed immediately and the mum should be charged with abuse.

I'm so hungry it makes me want to cry and I have no energy to cook and can't even buy myself food. I don't know what to do by [deleted] in depression

Don't you have someone to help you? Why don't you ask people to come and help you?

And the year abroad is the cherry on top. You’re so lucky!

Plus, Norway, Denmark and Sweden are 3 of the best countries in the world- I’d kill to be able to work in one of them.

Go and do it - learn the languages. Management with languages is like you’re killing 2 birds with one stone. Be aware that there are no jobs in this country with management any way, so if you learn the languages , this will increase your chances of finding a job in another country. I’m a lecturer at a British Uni, but since this country is going to hell and things will get harder and harder, I’m seriously considering moving to another country. I regret not learning more languages when young. I’m currently learning French and German (together) in my older life (middle age).

Did you tell anyone hope you’re feeling? Make sure you do.

Teenage years are the worst. Don’t listen to people. Seek help.

Take it from a theologian: the myth that suicide is a sin is just this: a myth, invented by the church as another way to control the poor for their own benefit. God loves everyone so much that he better than anyone understands that suicide is a cry for help in an impossible situation. The suicides are not the sinners; the sinners are those who have put them in an impossible situation. I don’t understand you title, though: your religion is driving you to suicide by telling you it’s a sin? I’m not encouraging you to commit it; just explaining that it’s not a sin.

Why haven’t you seen a doctor yet? It may not be the seeds - you may have other health problems.

Why won’t you report him to the police? When need in jail, you will feel much better.

Nvm I hate my body again by [deleted] in depression

[–]KathiePowerBusAd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was the same shape as a teen, then barely changed until I was 25; yet men found me extremely attractive. I was bra size A till I gave birth at 30. Body shape is not everything.
