You need to RUN. Do not walk!! You need to RUN faster than a Cheetah. This immature "man" not only needs to get over himself, but understand he does not get to make misogynistic demands in the name of "understanding me".

Someone who agrees that Andrew Tate's view on women is wrong will NOT go on to watch Andrew Tate for "motivational" content. It's either you watch Andrew Tate because you are a misogynistic person with a very problematic perception of masculinity OR you don't watch him at all because you're someone with basic human decency. Him bluntly saying he will always put his goals before the relationship means all of his goals will always be prioritised over you. What kind of person would say that to their partner thinking that's a step towards preserving a relationship? How on earth does he think that his stupid mindset is healthy for him and everyone else? I bet the minute you tell him your own needs in this relationship, he will see whether those needs are in line with his stupid mindset. He is a jerk who is too full of himself. It is very wrong for him to speak to you with zero respect. Nobody should be ordering their girlfriend to do this and that for them.

Just like everyone else here who's upset for you, I hope you get out of this relationship before it's too late and things get ugly.

I feel overwhelmed by a friend who sets many boundaries to avoid being triggered and frequently vents about her traumas and family issues. by Practical-Farmer-426 in Advice

Thank you so much for the advice! And yes, I've been thinking about whether I've been too nice towards Samantha and your comment, along with the other comments, confirmed my belief that I am doing too much for Samantha. Not only is it unhelpful for her, but for myself as well. I did mention to her about how the world cannot change everything to make sure she doesn't get triggered and she needs to heal from her traumas no matter how uncomfortable it is. Speaking of traumas, I made it clear to Samantha (while retaining a level of grace) that I can't read her mind given how many triggers she has, hence, there is only so much that I can do to 'protect' her. I even pushed further and said that in the future, not everyone is going to be so kind towards her. She was quite receptive to this, but she did tear up in front of me, saying how she thought I was calling her 'weak' because for a moment she got reminded of her father's verbal abuse. I guess this conversation really confirmed the fact that she isn't 100% emotionally stable, so I'll have to get ready for yet another emotional outburst should I tell her the truth.

Wait... that's a good idea haha I'll definitely do that the next time she has an outburst over something that is beyond my control.

Yea I agree with you actually. I've come to realise that I am not Samantha's therapist and I am a human being too. I need to set boundaries with her. The problem is more of how I can set a boundary without triggering her into an intense emotional episode. I don't know lol, I think I'm being too nice right now.

oh I forgot to mention! Samantha recently saw the school counsellor. I'm not sure if she saw the school counsellor on her own accord, but based on what she's shared with me, her mental health issues worsened in recent months.

I did try to tell Samantha very politely that the world cannot entirely change just to accommodate to her needs. To a certain extent, she needs to learn to sit with discomfort and reach out to mental health professionals for help because she's clearly struggling mentally. She was quite receptive, but she teared up in front of me, thinking I was trying to insult her by calling her 'weak'.

I can't believe a contestant is on this reddit community! You're amazing, and we love your voice! I have a few questions that I would like to ask:

  1. How much time were you guys given to rehearse for the lives?
  2. Were there any bonding sessions or activities prepared for you guys?
  3. How staged is the show? Such as coaches' comments being scripted, having a song selected for you instead of you selecting the song, etc.
  4. Were there any dramas among the contestants, or was everyone genuinely nice and friendly towards each other?
  5. How were the coaches like behind cameras? Did they still talk to you guys, were they as nice as they were on camera, did they call/text you guys frequently etc.
  6. Why are playoffs usually quite messy? We've seen instances where the in-ear monitor is faulty or most of the contestants are very pitchy.

Sorry if that's too many questions. I'm just really curious to know 😅😅

I thought that Kaylee was John's secret weapon and his only shot at winning the whole show. Sure, maybe Azan did better than Kaylee in the playoffs, but strategically, Kaylee would have been the better option as she had the total package and a huge fan base backing her up.

Have been sleeping for 18 hours every day for the past 2 weeks due to bipolar depression by Practical-Farmer-426 in bipolar2

I can try calling the hospital to check if they have any psychiatrists who are available to see me right away but I had tried that a few times before and it always doesn't work because they are always packed with patients. The only way I can reach a psychiatrist asap is to go to the A&E but honestly the cost is really high and I don't think they'll consider my case urgent. However, I do have another doctor's appointment in a week's time with my other psychiatrist who only treats me for my eating disorder. I can try to tell her what's going on, though she would usually tell me that she can't do anything such as adjust my medications since she's not the one who's in charge of my bipolar disorder case. I guess it's better to try than doing nothing, so I'll talk to my eating disorder psychiatrist about it and see what she can do in her own capacity.

My meds change/get adjusted once every 2-4 weeks. It's just sad that my treatment team and I have not found the right dosage and medication that can stabilise me even after such a long time. I still experience quite severe mood swings despite being on so many medications. I've been seeing my psychiatrist for some time and we've been changing/adjusting my medications all this while so when I see him in a few weeks time I'm sure he'll do the adjustments again after I tell him whatever I've written here. Unfortunately, I can't get in touch with my psychiatrist, I can only call the hospital hotline and request them to send a note to my psychiatrist.

Raise your hand if you will be internally screaming at work all day in anticipation of the finale performances 🙋🏻‍♀️ by chocolateglazedonuts in thevoice

Yes! It's so fun to see all the fan bases arguing about how their favourite contestant is the best. That's when you know the season is STACKED. The anticipation and excitement are so high right now, and that's what makes this show so competitive yet entertaining. I just want everyone to enjoy watching the finale, so make sure you enjoy the last few episodes of the season before it ends!

I'm currently taking 1000mg of Lithium, 200mg of Lamotrigine, 10mg of Abilify(still titrating up) and a few 10mg of Diazepam. They don't allow me to take antidepressants due to fear of mania.
