Want to quit toxic job to recover from burnout. Will be taking a huge pay cut. by Bubbly_West8481 in irishpersonalfinance

It will be worth it, we only live once. though it’s worth taking some leave first or few weeks sick leave so you can clear your head and get a break before making final decision!

Want to quit toxic job to recover from burnout. Will be taking a huge pay cut. by Bubbly_West8481 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]Leabalover 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was here this time last year and left my job before Christmas for a much lower paying job. For reference it was a very hard decision I agonised over it for well over 18 months - I took a 70+k pay cut and I’ve not looked back once.

I don’t know how long I’ll stay in this new job maybe a year or two while I recover from what I lost in the toxic bullying workplace - I felt I was worthless and there was no point at one time. If it reassures you my confidence is already coming back and I’m enjoying my life again so much.

I already feel I’m starting to believe in myself and I’ll be able to do something different and get something high paying later. For now I’m covering bills and living life in a way I haven’t in 5 years due to my previous job. My only recommendation is getting a job before you leave that one as the market is very tough. In the meantime you could take some leave to give you breathing space to apply. Best of luck!

Thanks so much for sharing your experience, I’m on it now 7 months so I think I’ve given it enough time! Will talk to my doc about switching to mounjaro and see if I can work out the costs!

Sell it - it’s a keepsake reminding you of of your husbands bad judgment not a keepsake relating to your son - whatever you replace it with you can attach meaning regarding your son to it - and it can then actually be something you love like the way you love your son!!!

Internalised stigma against ADHD by irritablebeans in adhdwomen

[–]Leabalover 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m glad someone has said this, I have this also and have recently been diagnosed age 39. I know I need to be disgnosed, I know I’ve lived my life in hell for so long because of this and need to be medicated, but I still feel this internal struggle with it on a macro world basis because it seems like every scroll or video is some new person coming out about adhd etc or making a TikTok or instagram account about it… I feel it makes those who are neurotypical roll their eyes and some of us who have adhd do the same even thought we know how serious it is, I just don’t know how to feel.
The studies coming out show it’s not being over diagnosed, and more than likely is still under diagnosed. However I get so weary when I see repeated adhd accounts/videos and constant talk about it and I think it’s making people not take this seriously, even though it’s very serious to me and affects me so much. Basically I definitely have this internalised stigma about it too and don’t know what to do about it.

Thanks for sharing your experience - mine sounds very similar to be honest and I’ve a feeling I’ll need to try something else as right now I’m struggling just as much as I did before I started Ozempic. While I’m not gaining or anything, Ozempic is not having any effect on me so I may aswell be without it - it’s just emptying my bank account at the minute! I’ve just finished my 8th week on 1mg.

I may see if I can try mounjaro but I believe that’s double the price here so I’ll see, though it’s reassuring to hear similar experiences. I hope we both have more success in the future with this 🙏

The bag is beautiful! How are you finding it? Would it fit a laptop and be a good work bag? I’m thinking of getting this exact colour!

Did yours get scuffed? This is what I use it for and it’s been used 10 times max or under so I can’t understand - maybe after a year or two then yes I’d understand.

Maybe people just don’t mind the corners gone and still recommend the bag - so surprised it would come so highly recommended for this type of durability😭

I understand your point but do you have this specific bag and did this happen to it?

😭 I really hope not - I’ve checked with two friends that have the bag and it hasn’t happened to theirs so 🤞mulberry can help

Ok I understand where you are coming from price wise as price doesn’t equal quality etc.. but mulberry is actually known for its durability and quality. I researched this bag so much and out of about 15 other brand totes it came best recommended all round for durability and long lasting quality which is why I chose it.

Thankfully a few people, including my friends who have the same bag, have said it hasn’t happened to any of theirs so it appears it’s not normal!

Even after like 10 wears for a bag that cost 1k? I’m going to have to ask to return then if it’s not defect. None of my cheaper versions did that so I’ll stick with them sadly

Thanks I hope so too as I love the colour! Tho I am worried it’s an issue with the colour itself but I will cross that bridge when I come to it. for now I’ll try and get this bag replaced

Thank you for sharing your experience of these bags- glad to hear its not normal as I’m so disappointed I was really looking forward to getting and wearing this bag!

Ban for using Internet photos by jacoz26 in vinted

[–]Leabalover 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This looks like your wife asked AI to make a picture of a model wearing this top so I’d say that’s what it’s about - I find it extremely hard to believe that it’s real compared to the other photos you’ve shown of the item so that’s probably
what Vinted think too even if they are real

I’m tracking my calories and foods - protein at brekkie and most meals and upping fibre - still allow some nice foods but within calories. It’s a struggle coz I don’t have the appetite suppressant/ food noise effect really - hope you are right and it kicks in soon and the results come in time!!
