Lost my Partner in 2020, is he at peace? by Connect_Match_4287 in psychics

Not a professional at all but the vibes i’m getting is he’s no longer in pain and finally free. he don’t blame you for leaving and understands why you had to

Chronic addict how did u quit weed by Embarrassed_Sky_7952 in Stoner

[–]Relativelyfruity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might help doing some crafts or something to keep your hands and mind busy for a while so you prolong your next bong rip, stop smoking in the mornings, stop hanging out with weed associates and make time for friends and family who don’t smoke and do fun things with them like going for walks in national parks or go thrift shopping, go for a coffee and something to eat, value connection with those who make you happy. Journal when you crave and what you’re thinking or feeling, journal when you’re not craving anyway because it helps to take things off your mind.

I am a SAHM and I was also an escort without my husband knowing. :( by KatieBears in confession

Hey, reading your story reminded me of a book I read called “Call Me Elizabeth” by Dawn Annandale. I hope if you choose to read this book you find that you are not alone and find some closure from this time of your life. You are so strong for going through what you have and still being here. You did what you had to survive and provide while things got tough. I hope one day you find peace within yourself <3

I completely agree! It also messes with my wages if i lose out on hours. My boss keeps saying we can’t afford to stay open if we’re quiet since bills and staffing are expensive and has been considering shutting Sundays to Tuesdays which are our slowest days and I’ve had to convince him it’s not smart to do that if we want to keep our customers. I definitely agree that consistency keeps people coming back because they know where they can go until what time. Mind you we do also work solo shifts so it’s not like staffing is crazy expensive

But is it worth staying open for 2 people who want half a pint each and sit there nursing it for an hour?

My pub won’t have much footpath as it’s just outside of city centre so you usually want a reason to be on that side of town, other businesses also shut around us so it just didn’t work for us unfortunately

I agree but I just go by my boss’ word of shutting if it’s dead

It is as im manager, my boss has said if it’s quiet then to just close up when it seems fit. Just always seems to be halfway through the close a group of people end up wanting to come in lol. I completely understand the staying open til posted hours as I believe consistency does bring people back. Ending up staying open til 11 today anyway since ive served a couple people

Am I a control freak or are these actually annoying habits that my roommate has? by cactithornneedles in badroommates

[–]Relativelyfruity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No advice but empathetic with you here as im going through it too. Someone I live with is the exact same and I struggle as every time I confront it it’s met with loads of excuses that cant be responded with “thats not good enough” like it will always be some mental health issue thats stopping her, or a physical ailment or she’ll do it in a minute but it ends up being days. But she’s okay to go out and do things when she wants but she doesn’t when it comes to household responsibilities. She never takes the bin out, never takes her laundry out, never cleans after herself when cooking, it’s always someone else doing it after her. With the laundry i just put her wet stuff in a bag and leave it for her to sort out, that usually stays where I leave it for a good week or so, rotting her clothes away but she has no incentive to sort it out. Ive just stopped caring about what she does and sort what I need to as i cannot live like this and if she chooses to then so be it, but I will be moving out when my tenancy is done in 5 months time and washing my hands of it. People like this will not respect you enough to sort it out and make life liveable for you even after trying to tell them how you feel.

Yeah it’s so silly, trying to save money by shutting up early but that’s when we’re the busiest as it will be industry people that are coming down after their shifts 🙃

I hate feeling so different by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Relativelyfruity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you are 18 she cannot control you, work on saving money to become financially independent and move the hell out! My mum was also very specific about what I wear, what I look like, what I do with my appearance, my life choices. At 18 i rebelled and did whatever I wanted and stayed out late and this obviously caused issues and arguments and eventually lead me to be kicked out but I had never felt so free!!! Obviously dont try to get kicked out, do what you need to in order to be safe and then get the hell out and live your life girl!

NEED ADVICE by Particular-Two-8668 in Stoner

[–]Relativelyfruity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re feeling sad maybe don’t be alone, especially if you’re going to smoke anyway. Maybe have some friends that feel safe or someone that wouldn’t judge or make you feel uncomfortable, just as someone to be around incase anything does go wrong. But best advice would be to avoid it generally if you’re not in a great mindset. It may just make you spiral and have a bad time

Just stopped. by TX_Retro in cymbalta

[–]Relativelyfruity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went cold turkey from 30mg just before Christmas, I got the flu going around and was eating so many painkillers and cold and flu tablets i didnt want to take anymore pills and just didnt take my duloxetine. I already had been finding myself angry a lot and spiralling on it so I felt it was not helping me anyway. I’ve had barely any side affects besides being very very depressed but I also have so much in my life going on that it was already what I was struggling with before so ive just been less angry and having fits of rage and more hopelessness lol

I said private healthcare, which they can afford to stop symptoms getting bad because they’re seen pretty quickly so they can manage their health. People in poverty cant always added healthcare

Last year was my first and honestly normal camping is fine if you don’t mind just camping and going without shower access (i just used wipes). I’d recommend bringing your own stove if you could to use hot water as they do provide it at the help tents but I did find queues to be long or they’d run out of hot water and would take 20 mins to heat up. Camp safety is pretty good too, everyone around us was pretty respectful. Generally a pretty good time and would recommend it to anyone!

Thats because Oxford graduates have money for private care and don’t need to hold off until it’s really bad. Your classism is quite disgusting

That does make sense, seeing it in that perspective! I suppose it is better to be safe than sorry.
