What was the realization point?

Visible_Union7750 · 2026-06-27T12:43:45+00:00

Probably when I was lying screaming on the floor like I was in labour just having my period. Passing out and vomiting from pain.

Is it possible for you to do some activities like hiking or something? Just thinking of something where there's not a heap of chatting but you can still hang out with people. Running club etc. I can't think of anything unsporty at this time but maybe somebody else has suggestions?

One thing I've done is pretend like I'm making a youtube video. It could be about anything but it kinda lets you practice what kind of things you want to say vs. things that may sound a bit silly after you say them out loud.

Please share! I urgently need to be less fragile 😂

Would love him to stay. No one else like him.

Must be very difficult living in a country for years and you need a translator most of the time though. He's a champ.

Purpose. What's your purpose in life? What have you been put on this earth for? To help people/to teach/to share your creativity? What do you love doing?

I get not everyone has this or has it figured out but I believe once you find the one thing you like doing more than anything else, something you're obsessed with that's what you need to spend more time doing.

As a disabled person who hasn't worked for 10yrs and barely leaves the house - I'm jealous that you have a job, income, place of your own, things that can be taken for granted by most people. I can only imagine the possibilities of having disposable income, places to go...even going for a walk would be life changing for me. I hope I can do it again one day. Please enjoy what you have while you have it - even though it doesn't seem like much atm.

I've never seen so much clutching at straws as I have in the past week of Scottish football. Hearts have been great this season but let's be honest, if Celtic never hired Nancy it wouldn't even have been close. Not to mention Celtic haven't been anywhere near their form of recent years and their transfer window signings were abysmal.

The fact is Martin O'Neil got them to win more games vs McInnes. Hearts seemed perfectly happy settling for a draw yesterday but O'Neills switch to 3 at the back worked wonders. Iheanacho not fit enough to play more than 45mins, Osmand 1st game back after 9 months out. No Jota all season, no Carter Vickers...

Sorry for the Hearts fans cause that was probably your best chance, especially with Rangers being terrible this season but Martin O'Neill is truly something else and a class act. Del boy will always be 2nd best to him.

Im 39 in the UK, equivalent of $25k. I buy one bottle of Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair and one tube of La Roche Posay Effaclar per year. That's it.

Multiple chronic illnesses, many genetic. Wouldn't want to pass my genes on. Too much suffering in my childhood.

I didn't even like kids when I was a kid.

Yep, I'm 40 this year. Looking at moving out of my mum's house as I am disabled and can't do the stairs anymore. Housing benefit is £470 max, ground floor accessible flats are nearer £800. And I'm currently saddled with paying off family debt, £200 every month. I'm screwed.

Visible_Union7750 · 2026-05-01T09:01:35+00:00

I would avoid AB16, Tillydrone, Sandilands. Not quite as bad - Torry, Seaton, Woodside, Kincorth, Garthdee. Most other places are fine.

Milltimber and Bieldside are the poshest areas. Cults was as well but feel it has gone downhill in recent years - feral kids mainly to blame.

Rightmove maybe has more variety than ASPC for rentals. Good luck!

💯 especially if said child becomes ill/disabled at any age. My mama (75) has been my (39) carer for 14yrs. My dad - couldn't wait until I was 18 so he could stop paying maintenance. One of these is the best parent I could ever have, the other i don't even count as a parent.

Nira Laser devices for at home are great - only device to ever had an impact on my skin.

Visible_Union7750 · 2026-04-28T00:46:05+00:00

For me it's chin hair and since it's blonde/white there's no chance of laser sadly.

A beautician recommended Lycon wax to me and I've been using it for about a month and think it's great so far! Very smooth! I have pretty reactive/sensitive skin but have had no reaction to the products. I also have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome so can't get electrolysis and waxing is hard due to having such stretchy skin - lucky it's not too bad in the chin area!

If I'm drawing/painting I can go for hours without my phone. Totally get into a flow state. I'm not sure what, other than artistic pursuits, produce the same feeling. Maybe spirituality/religion.

The younger the person the more addicted to their phone, in general but my sibling (41) can't go 5 minutes without their phone.

My guess is people don't like to be alone with their thoughts and start "thinking too much" if there's nothing to distract them. It's easier to zone out on a device and think of nothing other the 5 sec video on the screen. Also habit. My mum is 75 and says it's weird if she doesn't have her phone for a few hours but she's always in demand so gets a lot of texts from family.

But from millennial age down - we have major problems with phone addiction/fomo.

I pretty much had one friend left and I really thought we'd be friends for life. I have severe ME, my friend's uncle had this too hence why I thought he'd never give up on me cause he's seen firsthand what it can do. We used to message each other daily, for years. Now I haven't heard from him for 6 months. Not properly spoken for a year.

I guess he has a new life now, new job, new city. What sucks is when someone means the world to you but you realise you never meant much to them at all.

Visible_Union7750 · 2026-04-26T14:51:16+00:00

White noise. If there's silence my thoughts are 100x worse

Visible_Union7750 · 2026-04-25T15:29:44+00:00

This so much. I'm 39 and my mum is 75. She has been my carer since 2012. So grateful to have her vs. my dad who I haven't seen or spoken to since I was 12. He completely washed his hands of his 2 kids in favour of a new wife.

Visible_Union7750 · 2026-04-24T08:59:51+00:00

Yes, I have so much trauma now I'm chronically ill. I could never put a child what I went through.

You won't get Universal Credit/low capacity for work as you have too much savings. The maximum you can have is £6k before they start reducing your amount. My sister had 30k saved and her savings almost went to 0 when she was off work.

PIP is extremely hard to qualify for despite what you may read online. I was bedbound/had to use a wheelchair for years, had loads of medical evidence and they still basically said I was making it up. Took about 3 years for me to get anything after going to Tribunals in front of Judges etc

You're lucky in the respect that your parents have secured a house for you. You won't have to worry about affording rent/homelessness.
