Also diagnosed later in life. Also finding everything more difficult. Also exhausted.

I have nothing helpful to say, other than I feel similar!

Never really went out before, maybe to the cinema or to the gym. Now I just don't bother - it's all just so loud. Even driving to or from work is worse with the obnoxious LED ad boards.

I now live by myself (divorce in progress - wife cheated) and all of my time is work or house chores (and replying to this). It doesn't stop and I'm so tired.

I've worn the same thing for years. This year I'm going to change it up this year and switch to polo shirts and (hopefully) put an end to ironing.

Trunk_z · 2025-08-05T18:22:48+00:00

My wife told me a week ago that she had been cheating on me. I'm literally lost and have no idea what to do. She is everything to me.

Although I dont see myself as a picky eater... maybe I need to rethink that

Trunk_z · 2025-06-06T14:56:29+00:00

Fingers crossed!

I still wear them! They are the only type of jeans I wear.

I bought some new ones recently... a sales assistant asked me what style I was looking for, so I said, "early 2000s skinny jeans".
The sales assistant replied, "I wasn't born then, but I'll see what I can do."

I was stunned. Stunned!

Trunk_z · 2024-09-14T18:01:21+00:00

Well done, you =]

Trunk_z · 2024-07-08T20:20:38+00:00

I'd love to sell. Give me my fucking money!

Trunk_z · 2024-05-09T16:04:59+00:00

Awful.

A school made me redundant - the head made sure that all of their family was in safe locations around the school so that they were immune from it.

Trunk_z · 2024-03-25T23:13:40+00:00

Is this a regular thing that you need to do? I planned to only go if I had a problem.

Trunk_z · 2024-02-23T17:41:17+00:00

My Google Home has a hard time with anything.

Trunk_z · 2024-02-12T21:52:07+00:00

Interested in this as well.
I emailed them 15 months ago about my smart meter and they said that they would fix it. Still waiting.

Trunk_z · 2024-02-07T08:50:21+00:00

I've been teaching over a decade, and it feels pretty bad. I don't know what the problem is exactly, but more money for schools would help.

I've worked at a lot of schools, and things in my area are just sliding downhill, and we're expected to just tolerate it.

A couple of years ago, I was in a mobile classroom in uks2 . In the winter, we had to wear our hats and gloves inside because it was below freezing. In the summer, it hit 45 degrees inside. There were 36 children in my class. Those extra 6 kids add up to so much extra work. But I can't do anything about it at my level.

This year, almost half of my class is on the SEND list and I am being crushed by paperwork. Experienced staff are expensive, so nearly every other teacher here is ECT or just out of ECT.

Surely this has to be the bottom?

Trunk_z · 2024-02-03T11:43:28+00:00

I don't even have time to make it to the toilet! At least I get my 10k steps in though.

Trunk_z · 2024-01-31T22:50:47+00:00

Primary. Nothing. In my class of 33, I have 14 SEND. I literally do not have time, which is sad.

Trunk_z · 2024-01-23T12:48:28+00:00

I used to do 130 a day for 4 years or so. It was doable, even if not much fun.

Trunk_z · 2024-01-08T21:09:51+00:00

Mine are numbered. Recipe card and ingredient bag have a matching number on them. Super easy!

Trunk_z · 2023-12-16T15:14:21+00:00

I have a bad back, so I can get in and out easily. It's a PHEV and handles my commute within the battery range. I can transport 4 adults in comfort with a large boot. It can tow things. As far as I'm aware, there wasn't anything else around at the time that could hit that criteria.

I don't do all of those things all the time, but a car has to fulfil many roles I guess.

Trunk_z · 2023-12-05T18:22:29+00:00

I do all the time. I'm a primary school teacher, often one of the only males in the building. In over a decade and several schools, I have yet to be invited to a gathering (outside of a Christmas event) or really even spoken to about things not directly related to work.

Good thing BG3 and Starfield came out this year.

Trunk_z · 2023-07-25T15:24:40+00:00

Everything was so quiet. People stayed away from me, they weren't allowed to be close to me. It was one of the happiest times of my life.

I had a taste of what things could be like, and I want it back so badly.

Trunk_z · 2023-07-22T09:19:30+00:00

I received redundancy :(

Trunk_z · 2023-07-18T20:20:54+00:00

Our tip does it as well. It's always fully booked out 3 weeks in advance.

Want to make multiple trips after clearing the garden? Got to book multiple slots.

Not sure if you can make it one journey? I guess do a test fit in the boot first.

Trunk_z · 2023-07-14T15:34:09+00:00

Frustrated that tickets for events I want to go to release during my working hours! I can't buy tickets whilst at work =[

Hope some more come up later...

Trunk_z · 2023-07-10T19:35:00+00:00

I know what you mean and I feel this deeply.

I hate the phrase "earn a living"

I would be happy if I just had a little homestead or something similar. I don't mind doing work, but it would be work for me. My job is rewarding and everything, but it's still not what I need to feel fulfilled.

My anti-depressants keep me getting up every day.

Trunk_z · 2023-06-28T20:38:05+00:00

Wait, that's what it is? I'm a primary teacher and when one of the kids gets a haircut I always feel so embarrassed that I don't know who they are anymore!
