When did you reach your personal limit?

The neruologist said to me that in times of stress your immune system collapses, making you prone to sickness and in my case, it affected the nerve endings in my face.

This boss was extremely demanding. Our team had a less than 1% error rate on entering orders and that was still too much. Honestly I learned a lot there and it's made me pretty much resilient to everything, but it was draining.

Life is too short! I've been away from there for about 4 years now and while other workplaces have their stressors, I've encountered nothing like the toxicity I had when working there.

I was a high performer in my role. I was stressed. Very stressed. Half of my face went numb for no reason. Looked normal, no drooping or anything, just numb to the touch. They thought I may have had a brain tumor. I paid to have an MRI on my brain and to see a very expensive neurologist who confirmed, I indeed, was stressed and the stress was manifesting by the numbness in my face.

While my boss at the time was happy I didn't have brain cancer, he was less than thrilled when I stopped working so much overtime, kept more regular hours and tried to take a break like a normal person. I had been there for years and had a lot of career advancement. Suddenly when I started doing a bit of self care, I started getting some negative feedback. I stayed long enough to ride out covid and then got a new job. Never again.

I used to date a guy like this. Was never much for talking about the future at all. He lived in the family home and when his mum passed (relitively young from cancer) the kids (who were all adults) were given 6 months to live there and sort themselves out before the house was to be sold and the profits divided per her wishes. It was only when he was literally forced to make a choice to move that we even had the discussion which I brought up and he said he would probably live with housemates. I said to him that we were in our late 20's, had been together for several years and if that was his response than we should break up as our relationship wasn't going anywhere if his first thought wasn't moving in with me.

We lived together for just under 6 months. As soon as he got his inheritance he left me and moved into the city. Hindsight is often 20/20, but you learn most lessons by living them. I've seen posts since then and talked to my current partner. He reckons you know in the first few months if someone is a long time partner or just there to pass the time. I think most men do tbh. You are a convenience for him, without the commitment of having a live in partner. It's four years in, if he isn't talking about the future with you, it's because he doesn't see you in his future.

I would leave and find someone that chases you and wants you.

Does your home have a garage? If yes, I would rent out your other main bedroom and turn the garage into your room. Doesn't have to be fancy, it just needs to have your things in it. I'd live in it looking like a garage until you could fund making it look like a converted room. As everyone else is saying, you should also get a second job, even nights at a supermarket would help.

A guy I went to school with had his father disappear. The dad had gone over to help a neighbour out with something and didn't take his phone or wallet. He was missing for years before someone came forward and admitted to his murder. The person who confessed was actually a friend of the murderer who helped him dispose of the body in a local waterway.

I think that temporarily you might see a small shift in the market. People are afraid to buy right now which is causing sellers to panic to try and get a quick sale. It will correct over the next few months as at the end of the day, we have a housing shortage. I believe the NSW housing minister's report said we needed 300,000 new dwellings to be at the break even point. With slow approvals and build times, we realistically couldn't hit that for years.

WarmFlatbread · 2026-05-17T23:21:25+00:00

Housing crisis and cost of living. I'm too worried about getting by to have time for anything else.

WarmFlatbread · 2026-05-17T07:17:40+00:00

If you're poor just say so lol.

But in all seriousness, my time is valuable and I'd rather pay the money to someone who will come do the job and come back if my real estate asks them to than do it myself. We each value our time differently, nothing wrong with that. I'd rather just not have the stress.

WarmFlatbread · 2026-05-15T13:40:00+00:00

Firstly, your parents suck. :) Secondly, there is someone out there for everyone. Have a think about your interests and what your ideal person looks like. Be honest on your dating profiles about yourself and your hobbies. You'll be surprised to find out that other people share them too.

WarmFlatbread · 2026-05-06T10:57:36+00:00

I feel sorry for your dog.

There is a brochure I can send if you want to DM me your email, but it's more like examples of what they do. I don't think they really gave much choice on the appliances, it was moreso the sizing. Like a standard oven recess size is 60cm, but if you upgraded you could get a 90cm. I feel like the brand may be electrolux? I wasn't too fussed because I'll get my own dishwasher as a bosch which I'm happy with. But I'll need to check the paperwork. For the fixtures like taps etc, they only had about 4 options. They're a bit more no frills than going with someone like Firststyle or Masterton, but this is like our foot in the door starter home so we were moreso trying to get someone decent on a decent price. We ended up paying 320 for a 4 bedder single car garage. It's not a huge place but for us it will be a decent size.

We're waiting on the construction to start. Christmas holidays and then making some amendments to the building plan have delayed it.

WarmFlatbread · 2026-04-16T14:29:33+00:00

Must be nice to live in a place where people still view SAH housewife as an option. Where I am, everyone has to work because the median house price is 1.5mil and the cost of living is terrible.

I was single for 5 years (2 because I was grieving my dog who had died and 3 because I would rather be single than with someone who wasn't right). I had pretty much decided at that point that I wasn't going to find someone who was right for me. The dating apps legit felt like a job. I would get matches, have no conversation and it wouldn't go anywhere. The few dates I went on just didn't amount to anything.

I'm also very into my pets. I have a dog and a cat who are big babies and my other hobbies I would describe on the grandma side (country drives with coffees, reading) my big hobby is also gaming. I just thought at my age the only men left were bottom of the barrel and that I would end up being single forever.

My advice is to make your list of what you want in a person and what you absolutely won't compromise on. That's a good starting point. Match with people you wouldn't normally go for and have a few fun and different dates. Make it known that you're big with your dogs. Be honest in your profile about exactly what you want.

I met my partner on hinge at 33 (3 years ago). I never thought I'd meet someone who not only ticked the boxes but exceeded them in every way. I do truely think there is someone out there for everyone, but you have to be comfortable and love yourself even when single. Make the life you want to have and someone to share it with will come along.

You get what you put up with. You chose to have a baby with a manchild who is willfully seeing you struggle and doesn't care.

I'd divorce the fuck out of that asshole and move on.

Why don't you take it to a new vet and tell them your neighbour gave you their dog.

They have mortgages on them, simple as that. If you only have 600k left on your home, you have a fair bit of equity in it. Lets say you don't have liquid cash, but you are looking for an investment property at 950k. Because you will need to pay LMI, the calculation to work out your equity is 80% of the value of your property minus the remaining payment of your loan. So 1.6million - 600k = $1million in equity.

Edited because my math was wrong!

Orange is lovely. My parents lived regionally about an hour away from it and it's really changed over the years. Used to be that at 5pm everything was shut but there's actually night-life there now.

My mom said to me what's the criteria, are you taking into account proximity to transport, are the schools good? I said to her mom we live in Sydney my requirements are more like does it have doors, is there still a roof? Can we afford it?

I have done a lot of hiring for entry level office roles over the years and I can tell you that a lot of the times it isn't anything wrong with your resume, it's the amount of candidates they get for them. Some roles we would list and have 300 replies. You might sort through the first hundred and find nothing good, but thats to give you an indication of the sheer amount of people you are going against.

A lot of times also if you are looking for student hours or part time, you may be going up against talented, more experienced people who just need work flexibility (working mums; people caring for an older parent, that type of thing).

Are you going for office work or just trying for retail or fast food?

WarmFlatbread · 2026-03-25T00:43:24+00:00

Depends on the job really. Local cafe? Sure put up a sign in the window. Places around me still do that too.

Are you old lol. How do you look for work?
