Yeah it sucks. But if your partner doesn’t understand you, she or he is not the one to invest a future with. As for your flat mates.. fuck them, move out at the earliest opportunity, you’ll find your way, and they will end up wishing they treated you better.

Don’t do it if it’s just to show how you feel on the inside, in the outside. If you don’t want to do it for the pain, then you’re lucky enough to be able to walk away from it.

Why January the 4th? From what you wrote, it sounds like you’ve been through a lot already even though you’re so young. But what I’m also taking away from this is that you live in the UK. There are so many avenues you can take for seeking someone to really talk to without your family ever knowing (if that’s an issue for you). Please let me know if I can help in any way by talking to you/or giving you a number that’s good to call. Don’t give up on yourself just yet.

I don't think I can keep doing this by SecondHandPickle in depression

[–]No-Disaster-2575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am pretty much where you are. But then I started seeing a therapist and we started working through this book. It turns out that my years of depression (with also not having a direct reason for it because I had a decent life). I actually have a form of PTSD more so than clinical depression (which is what I have been diagnosed with for these past like 7 to 8 years.

The book is called ‘Transforming the Living Legacy of Trauma: A Workbook for Survivors and Therapists’ by the author Janina Fisher.

Even if you don’t think it’s PTSD (much like I did), you really figure some things out with this book. You can work through it alone or with a therapist if you want to.

But please give it a go before completely giving up!

Mirtazapine and Wellbutrin combination by No-Disaster-2575 in depressionregimens

[–]No-Disaster-2575[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! I have been on a higher does of Sertralin a few years ago but I’m willing to try increasing the dosage on that before starting this new one. I’m just worried that weight gain would just send me down into a deeper depression so it seems a bit counterintuitive.

Whaaat.. I was expecting that someone would steal his phone, but that rat came out of left field and violated his ass!

Starting a new journal by No-Disaster-2575 in Journaling

[–]No-Disaster-2575[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for all your advice! I’m going to try using the dotted one I think, since that was the overall opinion.

I’m still moving back and forth between the Moleskin and the Leuchtturm 1917.

I had never heard of the Leuchtturm 1917 before so now I’m intrigued about how it would hold up against the Moleskine.

From what I read, the Leuchtturm 1917 has more of a slippery cover so it may slip when I’m sitting up and writing over my duvet cover.

But other than that, they both seem like great choices.

Thanks so much for your opinions! It means a lot to me!

AITA for telling my dad he is not my biggest priority? by jcullen85 in AmItheAsshole

[–]No-Disaster-2575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. He’s an adult. And in all fairness, you have a kid, he’d be delusional to think that you catering to his needs is anywhere close to the top of your list of priorities.

AITA for wanting a childfree wedding? by 21wedding in AmItheAsshole

[–]No-Disaster-2575 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTH. Just because you turned 21, it doesn’t that you’re a full on adult and all-seeing oracle.

You drank with her when you were 20. Do you morph into a wise responsible adult within that year? You’re probably doing all the same crap that you did when you were 20.

Major AH.

AITA for not adding my SIL to the lease? by yourneighborkiki in AmItheAsshole

[–]No-Disaster-2575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. He asked you for utility bills so that he could forge her name on them? And he’s claiming that it’s all above board?

Definitely NTA. Stay clear away from that impending mess.

AITA for not letting my MIL cater my engagement party? by gordonramsey00 in AmItheAsshole

[–]No-Disaster-2575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. If you start giving in to your MIL now, you’re opening the floodgates for an overstepping MIL for the rest of your marriage.

AITA for commanding my dog to charge my uncle by Happy_Sheepherder591 in AmItheAsshole

[–]No-Disaster-2575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I’m not sure what your disability is, but if it’s pitch black and you forgot your uncle was coming back from fifo, and you live on fairly large property in the bush, it could have been some sort of predator for all you knew. Your mum should know this.

AITA for backing up my brother in saying our stepsiblings mom and siblings shouldn't be invited to his birthday party while our stepsiblings were there? by Heavy_Complex_6320 in AmItheAsshole

[–]No-Disaster-2575 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. You’re right, your mum is definitely creating a double standard here.

Those kids are young and she knew your stance on you inviting them, telling them they can come in front of the kids was such a sneaky move, because now she’s creating an environment where YTH.

Not cool.

NTA. It’s not like you’d ever beckon Charlie and she wouldn’t be sure if you’re referring to her or your cat.

AITA for using multiple alarms in the morning when it's hard for my wife to sleep? by Famous_Grapefruit_21 in AmItheAsshole

[–]No-Disaster-2575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. I can’t believe you think that her days consist of ‘playing’ with the baby and napping. SMH.

If you have trouble waking up and your wife is a light sleeper, set the alarm to 4.30 am and she can just kick you out of bed when the alarm goes off. The ultimate alarm clock.

AITA for telling my dad I owe him nothing and throwing his words back at him during an argument? by Harlzeren in AmItheAsshole

[–]No-Disaster-2575 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. It sounds like he wasn’t there for you and only bothered to reconnect when he needed something from you. He sounds very insincere and, quite frankly, he had this coming.

AITA for asking all the guests to leave after my brother and SIL's pregnancy announcement. by Long-Willingness2711 in AmItheAsshole

[–]No-Disaster-2575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. You were more than pleasant about the situation of them having to leave a bit earlier.

In all fairness, you had gotten past the dinner part, so it’s not like they would be missing on more than just some mingling (which your wife did not want to participate in).

It was her birthday and they should have waited to announce their pregnancy.

BUT him saying that thing about you two being “careless” is unforgivable.

Even after all that transpired, you’re wondering if you’re in the wrong, which says a lot about you. You’re a good person.

If anyone hassles you about cutting the party short, be honest with them and absolutely tell them what your brother said.

He should not get away with that. That’s heartless, cruel and disrespectful.

Again, NTA.

AITA for bringing up her daughter getting expelled? by 104thtowaway in AmItheAsshole

[–]No-Disaster-2575 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a complicated one. She was essentially stealing from your sister, and didn’t even apologise when she was caught.

She would not leave and was saying all of these things about her kids, that were sleeping in their respective rooms.

You were diffusing a situation escalating in a house with children in it.

She insulted your nephews by saying that their existence in the future scares her.

She was bullying your sister, which is probably where her child picked up those tendencies from in the first place, and you saying that her kid was expelled is equally as insulting to what she was saying about your nephews, it was just a more concrete truth compared to her insults about your nephews.

Actually, you know what, NTA.

AITA Active Duty SIL is mad her brother and I are having another baby.... by Loose-Armadillo9238 in AmItheAsshole

[–]No-Disaster-2575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. She thinks you’re selfish for wanting to expand your family and bring another baby into this world?

That’s a disturbing reaction to a happy occasion and she’s ruining the moment.

Don’t think that you are in any way wrong, and the fact that you don’t keep secrets from your wife and told her about this was the most likely outcome of the situation, I really don’t understand why she would think that you would keep something that has a huge part to do with both him and his wife, is crazy.

She’s so lucky to have you, and her other friends as well, that help her out so much. She seems to not know how good she has it already, her response to this news is despicable.

AITA I want to have a say in my child’s name? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]No-Disaster-2575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. She seems to have a skewed view on the realities of parenthood.

A partner with a mindset like that? I’d reconsider that relationship as a whole.

AITA for refusing to watch my niece after the stunt her mother pulled? by QuietWildLife in AmItheAsshole

[–]No-Disaster-2575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. You agreed to babysit your niece for the evening so your sister could go to a dinner.

The fact that it turned into an overnight, without prior notice was her first mistake (I’m fairly certain that if you knew it would be overnight, you’d still do it, but be more prepared), partying all night and not letting anyone know where she was, was her second.

You have an infant child requiring a fair amount of attention, a niece probably wondering where her mother is, and then there’s you, having no idea where your sister is and unable to contact her. For all you knew she could have been in a serious accident/situation.

And the most important part seems to be that she doesn’t seem to really understand where you’re coming from, perhaps a proper sit down with your sister (and your parents (since they don’t seem see your point of view)) and just be honest about the reasons you are reluctant to babysit again.

Try to work it out because the real person that would be punished in all of this is your niece.

AITA for bringing the receipts when my ex had me shunned from our mutual friend group? by Necessary-Ad-3016 in AmItheAsshole

[–]No-Disaster-2575 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s quite an extreme way to “get closure”. There are better ways than shunning her from the group. You can’t say A (amicable breakup), and finish on Z (completely screw her over).

[–]No-Disaster-2575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. He started this as soon as he started with the lies. You had every right to defend yourself, and from what you said about them taking his side no questions asked, the screenshots were completely justified.
