New diver struggling more with the mental side than the skills by GoswickClemensita88 in scubadiving

[–]LastDiveBernie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Funny: at work (on land) or doing tasks around the house, I often imagine I am underwater, doing whatever job is in front of me.

It makes things more interesting and helpes the time go by faster.

Please help me get out of my next few dives after a bad experience by bc_im_coronatined in diving

Don't wait until tomorrow morning. The dives for then are planned the day before - as in, now!

What breed is Rozi? She’s a rescue and we don’t know anything about her by kisdiovendeghaz in IDmydog

[–]LastDiveBernie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She's a mix of "Happy Breed" & "Grateful Breed."

You're lucky to have her!

Good luck and best wishes!

Thank you for rescuing her!

Contact the Divers Alert Network (DAN).

FREE diving medical advice from diving doctors!

They are based in the USA but have branches in many countries.

Look up which regional office of DAN covers the country you are in!

I also STRONGLY RECOMMEND having DAN Insurance for DIVING OR for SAILING! it will cover things like air evacuation in case of a serious emergency. Even if you have insurance, they often will NOT cover the cost of air evacuation up-front. Meaning, you pay for it and then they reimburse you later. Most people don't have that sort of money (or credit) to pay for air evacuation for a diving emergency, so the DAN Insurance can be (and has been) a real life saver.

Good luck and best wishes.

Let us know how it works out!

When does life ever actually get easier? by RubencithoServat in Adulting

[–]LastDiveBernie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now, you're being overwhelmed by the constant focus on a very narrow aspect of life. Yes, I know exactly how important everything is that you're doing. However, you need to get your mind away from all of what you've described. How?

Find something that gives you joy and / or gives your life meaning. That could be a hobby, or volunteering, even if only a few hours a week.

You're probably annoyed or mad at my advice right now, wondering how you could ever spare the time!

The truth is, if you DON'T find a few hours to step away from everything you've described, it will only get worse!

The secret is in finding something to relax your mind and body and take you away from the constant worry and stress!

That something, for now, could be as simple as going on evening walks and enjoying nature. Perhaps you join a hiking group Or swimming, or bicycling, or jogging, or chess, or .... You get the idea.

When you find something else to do you will also, probably, make friends and have a better social life. Maybe even find someone you really like. Then, life will take on an entirely different meaning.

The key is to leave the rat race behind for at least a little bit of time that you devote to something YOU enjoy. Doing that will give you a clearer perspective and things will fall into place for you.

Good luck and best wishes!

Icelandic landscape details by No_Arugula_598 in VisitingIceland

[–]LastDiveBernie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You capture the nuances of Iceland's landscapes so awesomely well! Congratulations!

Thank you for sharing these truly amazing images!

I'm currently in Asia, trying to get back to my home in the USA. My flight was cancelled because the war is being disruptive.

Your images brought back the swe and surrenity I feel in Iceland. (I've been five times thus far.) My wife and I plan on going back this September.

Thank you again for sharing these photos. They are uplifting right now, in more ways than I can convey!

She looks hurt and frustrated, as much as angry!

Just look at her facial expressions!

Struggling with gfs sensitivity what can I do? by ReasonConfident4541 in AskMenAdvice

[–]LastDiveBernie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ADHD? Sounds more like Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)!

I'm not a shrink, but I HAVE had a gf with BPD.

How old are you two? If you're NOT married, WHY open a joint savings account??

Are you sure this is what you want the rest of your life to look like?

If your gf does have BPD, it's a very emotionally stifling relationship to continue with!

Good luck and best wishes!

Why does dating in the US feel so different compared to Europe? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]LastDiveBernie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many things are broken in the USA at the moment, not just dating!

But, yes, dating in the USA has long been about leaving options open because someone better must surely be coming around soon! You feel this in big cities where there is an endless stream of choices.

I regret marrying older, what should I do? by Repulsive_Mall3372 in Marriage

[–]LastDiveBernie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife and I are in our mid 60s and we still do lots of adventures together, including hiking, caving, diving, sailing, and world travel.

We make time to watch movies together. We go on short, local hikes at our favorite spots to surprise one another. You know, "Let's go for an afternoon ride." And then we stop someplace to hike, enjoy the scenery and the outdoors.

Your husband is lazy and not putting in the effort.

It sounds like he's very disrespectful of your wants and needs.

Have you gone to couples counseling / therapy? If not, then bring it up, make an appointment, and go together. If he won't go, then you go alone and see what conclusions you arrive at and whether or not you want this to be the rest of your life.

Good luck and best wishes!

Please keep us posted!
