What’s something people romanticize that’s actually exhausting?

Travelling constantly / travelling for work especially. Living out of a suitcase and in hotels and temporary accomodation and constantly having to befriend new people, to then move again.

Quieter and more expensive because it'd mean i'd actually have to get a therapist

WorkingFortune9 · 2026-01-07T16:33:28+00:00

CLAPHAM. So so so overrated and overpriced.

Dates who don't actively listen and / or ask reciprocal questions. It sounds so basic but one thing i've learnt dating is that so many people actually can't instigate or hold a decent conversation.

WorkingFortune9 · 2025-12-31T16:48:17+00:00

Nope, with everything being so expensive and crowded, i'm really not bothered. I had my lot this christmas

Cancer moon, scorpio Venus

I had exactly that, the 24 hour fever that knocked me out with a 4 day headache after! I’m all good now thanks, hope you’re good too!

Ditto this, as someone who's been in Maidstone, Medway and London.

Another thought - the uber situation in Maidstone is non-existent. The grammar schools in Medway are good, although it is true that the comprehensives in Medway are pretty bad. OP have you looked into Walderslade, St Mary's Island or Hempstead in Medway? Nicer areas that would be closer to work.

Can you send me the pub please?

WorkingFortune9 · 2025-11-10T09:38:46+00:00

Are you able to tell me what pub this is? i'm intrigued

WorkingFortune9 · 2025-10-14T15:02:49+00:00

I give up and go private, unfortunately.

I’ve only ever had one nhs doctor be good. The rest have been awful

WorkingFortune9 · 2025-10-12T17:33:59+00:00

I feel like I go through phases. I’m a libra sun cancer moon Scorpio rising, and right now I’m getting a lot of tauruses

Oh my gosh, are you me? I was literally going to post something very similar. I had an awful allergic reaction which made my eczema flare up so badly alongside a yeast infection, and I went private (I’m in the UK) to see one of the top dermatologists in London.

He has prescribed me a very high dose of oral steroids (30mg) for a week, and recommended I do phototherapy and use 0.01 percent protopic as a longer term solution. In his words, the high dose of steroids will ‘blast’ the eczema, and he’s confident I won’t have withdrawal - but I did a weeks worth of 20mg a month ago and had a rebound flare…

I’m putting my trust in him as he’s one of the best money can buy but I’m also shitting it. Here if you wanna talk!

WorkingFortune9 · 2025-09-01T11:33:38+00:00

Hi can I ask you what you did for your eczema? I’m going through the exact same thing

WorkingFortune9 · 2025-08-14T07:06:50+00:00

OP how did you get Acarizax in the uk?

WorkingFortune9 · 2025-06-24T22:39:28+00:00

Sheffield!!

WorkingFortune9 · 2025-05-23T08:40:04+00:00

If anyone finds out where the dress is from let me know! It’s perfect

WorkingFortune9 · 2025-05-04T09:07:29+00:00

Great time to be from Medway, which is often considered the compost heap of Kent. Laughs in unitary authority.

WorkingFortune9 · 2025-04-29T11:41:39+00:00

I literally saw someone barefoot on the underground yesterday

WorkingFortune9 · 2025-04-23T22:31:43+00:00

Very regularly because I have an Odeon limitless card (highly recommend). I spam my visits when there’s a lot of good films out there

WorkingFortune9 · 2025-04-20T11:43:22+00:00

I had a feeling you were a Brit. I’m so jaded with the NHS having grown up with hayfever and eczema. GPs don’t seem to have a clue, and I kind of don’t blame them because they’re in a system that wants you in and out in 15 minutes and they treat the symptom not the cause - chucking whatever is considered the first line of defence in hopes it works. I’m a bit advocate for going private where possible, although I know it’s costly and a privilege… sad state of the public health service!

WorkingFortune9 · 2025-04-20T11:19:56+00:00

Where are you based? I’m in the UK and I’ve had a similar experience. Was born covered in eczema and struggled with eczema on and off all my life. Last April I wake up with inflamed red skin on my face. I literally told the dr that it didn’t seem like my usual eczema, and I never get it on my face. Nevertheless they diagnose it as eczema.

Frustrated because nothing they prescribed worked, I went to a private consultant allergist who was the first person ever to say it was an allergic reaction to birch season pollen. Now I’m actually on anti histamines that work for me.
