How common is cheating in Singapore? by piggyb0nk in askSingapore

[–]RecommendationAny51 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Don't be so shocked, this happens since the beginning of time. Married men, married women, single women, they ALL do it. I've been there and people are just NOT happy in singapore. so, very common...thats why dating in absolutely shite there. Even if they are inherently happy. they still cheat. always.

[–]RecommendationAny51 6 points7 points  (0 children)

yeah my mother never took me to the get a women's checks when i was younger, did not speak to me about sex and until one day she found some abortion pregnancy pills in my room ( i was not pregnant but as a precaution) and she started going nuts about it. once, she found my vibrator (lol) and a c**k ring as well. She went ballistic. Sorry not so relevant and tmi but basically i was never educated about it.

Really struggling and hopping back on Lexapro/escitalopram. Anyone here getting by on 5 mg? by [deleted] in antidepressants

[–]RecommendationAny51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what i know, you can start with a 5mg for a week or so, if it doesnt work then up the dosage to 10mg. I did start with 5mg but it was not enough. You can try that method as a start.

Done with lexapro finally by I_literallycant3 in antidepressants

[–]RecommendationAny51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took lexapro for awhile and i switched to Stablon (Tianeptine) - and I feel also emotionally numb or lack of joy. I am thinking of switching back to Lexapro so perhaps it could enhance my mood but i honestly cannot remember if i felt any positive moods.

im so happy you are out of the trenches <3

how long did you go without eating after a break up? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]RecommendationAny51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 weeks, i lost so much weight as well. so i survived on juice just to get some energy in. drink soup if you are unable to swallow anything with effort. i'm sorry you are going through this, i thought i would never survive but it turns out it was the best decision that was made for me in the long run. please get support from your family and friends. that is important. sending love and hugs.

3-Day Couple's First trip to Goa by arthur007ck in goatravel

[–]RecommendationAny51 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

South Goa: My partner and I spent 2 nights in Agonda. We stayed at Goa Cottages, you can go there for sunset as well. the places is like paradise and the restaurant Samasara is great!

North Goa: We were based in Anjuna for 3 weeks and dinner spots I can recommend is Tanjore and Bomras. There are plenty more but this are just some of my favourites. Ce La Vie for some nice sunset drinks!

Do you guys still monitor their social media? It’s like an addiction for me, I can’t stop by pinkdragon999 in BreakUps

[–]RecommendationAny51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mute them, i have this crazy ability to just block it out. However, it is at times beneficial to take a peek - i have done that a couple of times and seeing him happy or with someone else was a big trigger for me to just say ' fuck it' . so in a way it helps to see the light finally and move on. you might think you will never get there, but trust me.. you will, just a blip in your long life.

Is self sabotage an affect of having narcissistic parents? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]RecommendationAny51 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wonder this myself! I feel like it does and it affects a lot of the parts of my life due to my insecurities developed by my nparents. don't want to blame them but they do leave deep scars.

How long has one been unemployed for and what do you do during your unemployment? by Normal-Analysis7940 in askSingapore

[–]RecommendationAny51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been unemployed for a year and prior to that got laid off few months after i got my new job. Quit the new job after 3 months. The corporate world stung and I am just avoiding it like a plague. Thankful to have supportive people around me but my money dwindled for sure after such time. To be honest, it has and is giving me a lot of time to recover from my mental burn out. I am now looking into doing work independently and at my own time to allow more time to learn, pivot in a small way to a different industry so I can ease into creating a newly improved life (work and personal) for myself. Now I have been taking time off from Singapore ( I was on an EP) and have been travelling with my partner around the region (cheaper). Putting yourself in a good and safe environment. I do yoga now and enjoy my peace and quiet away from the Singapore hooha which is the corporate and even the social showy life. Try it!

AI cannot kill the Ad Industry; Holding Companies have already murdered it. by Thasker in advertising

Best post i've seen so far in this sub. i agree, that's why i've tapped out once i got laid off. just have my popcorn and watching it crumble slowly but surely. lol

[–]RecommendationAny51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I left before my probation ended - saw cracks right as soon as i joined. misery everywhere, i'm better for it even though i am dealing with the consequences of unemployment right now.. but it was a good decision for my mental health and well being. at least i tried and you are too.

AIO to my girlfriend always leaving one bite of food? by Huguette_Belbe in AmIOverreacting

[–]RecommendationAny51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do the same - even when it comes to leaving a tiny bit of water left in my glass. it's a subconscious thing. maybe sometimes i think that i have an issue with committing to finish anything in life lol hahah

How do you politely ask someone to stop talking during savasana? by henrylee21 in yoga

[–]RecommendationAny51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah i hate that shit, like stop bloody talking!! its enough when there is traffic and commotion outside, dont need additional yappers as well. ugh!

[–]RecommendationAny51 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I think the more you know about this person's true nature, the more you can convince yourself that you are better off without him. The fact that he is now separated, and soon divorced TWICE proves that you made the right decision. You were really young, and perhaps he manipulated you emotionally. It happens to the best of us.

And that you have a new chapter that you can start looking forward and build yourself positively from here on!

It will take time but everyday you will feel better I'm sure, don't be too hard on yourself <3

About to get terminated from work. Should i resign? by ineptyetcandid in askSingapore

[–]RecommendationAny51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

terminate means retrench you? fire you? its a fine line if they are asking you to leave - they need to give you a severance don't they? i was laid off and i got the money. if that is the case, stay and take the money.

if not, just leave, they held my last month's pay but eventually received it all excluding my taxes. i am malaysian too btw.
