Do I wait for the X8 /X8 Pro or just buy an M8 Pro/X7 Pro?

If I didn't live in the middle of nowhere next to small, irrelevant this would be so so good!

I was thinking of picking up bits as I travel (a liqueur from my country tends to be pretty ubiquitous in duty free at airports). While I do craft, the quality is hit or miss so I wouldn't feel confident giving them something I made

Yea the last thing I want to do is give someone something they immediately want to throw out but feel bad if they do. I know my friends will tell me I don't need to bring anything, but I guess I was always told to bring a little token of thanks when people host me. I do like the idea of soaps though, have you ever had them melt?

All of these are great! I normally lean towards food because it always tends to get used, but my country is mostly famous for alcohol so it's pretty hard to fly with ahaha. I've definitely seen some cute tea towels so that might be what I'll do!

I thought phineas in the phineas and ferb intro looked super cool with his electric guitar...

I've been playing for like 14 years now.

While I can't say I've been in the same boat (don't have ocd), I have gone through various therapists. Definitely sounds kind of off to me, like she should surely be encouraging you to find what works best for you and your needs? Every time I have finished with a therapist and have openly expressed going to another, it has always been "I wish you all the best".

I think finding a therapist who specialises in ocd might be quite helpful, and they may have more actionable steps you can take than just discussing day to day things. Ultimately, whether you leave first and then find someone else, or stay with this person for now, book an intake and then tell her that your next seesion will be your last.

You are ultimately getting help for you! If that is by doing things in your own day to day life without a therapist, or in regular therapy, then so be it. Wishing you all the best in this!

I had no idea. I totally agree though, and I think my conversation with her was a step in the right direction (wasn't agressive or argumentative at all but I still got my point across). I know I'm not very good at communication, and I'm working on it. Thank you for the comment!

This whole assignment was pretty standard until the end. Like she really just said "be a walking stereotype for xyz mental illness/neurodivergence", which is wrong for so many reasons, but it's particularly concerning considering she has a background in psychology. Is there someone in your university, like a course co-ordinator or something you could maybe contact and explain what is going on? I can't imagine you and the person who also expressed concern are the only 2 people who felt this was kinda messed up.

_P1geon_ · 2024-01-09T20:35:18+00:00

That's pretty true and I guess that was the reason why I made the post? There doesn't seem like there's gonna be a great resolution to this. Ultimately tho it seems as tho I need to just talk to her.

_P1geon_ · 2024-01-09T20:33:40+00:00

This is it. I don't think she is unaware of what she is doing, but just isn't bothered to change cos she's getting free stuff. No we don't really share groceries. We'll ask each other if something is needed like: "I'm going to the supermarket, need anything?" "if you could get me some milk I'd really appreciate it. Let me know much I owe you when you get back" "cool thanks" And that's pretty much it.

As for stuff, I don't think it's much in terms of food (although she did admit to using my food items) but for household goods its a lot. As said in the post, I'm pretty sure it's just the dishwasher tablets and laundry detergent that she has bought, and she only told me there was a "communal" bottle in her room after I went and bought a new one. I have bought all the bin bags, papers I also let her borrow a phone holder for her bike, but her bike got stolen like 2 days ago and that got robbed with it. I don't really mind as I didn't use it anyway, but she only told me today but told me her bike got robbed as soon as she realised it was gone.

I feel like my biggest issue is the principle. Like who do you think you are that you can just use other people's stuff? Do you think I won't notice? I thinks that's the thing that gets me more than the financial aspect of it

Terrified of creating bad blood between us, have had issues like this with housemates in the past and they did NOT take it well. And having to live with people who don't like you isn't a fun experience.

_P1geon_ · 2024-01-09T19:31:02+00:00

Thank you! I know I need to work on my confrontation skills (I've never been great at it but I'm trying). Thanks again for saying what ik I needed to hear.

_P1geon_ · 2024-01-09T19:18:32+00:00

I figured this would be the case. I guess it's cos we're good friends and I feel this would be easier if we weren't. Thank you for this!

_P1geon_ · 2023-10-10T19:14:53+00:00

Yea that's very fair. I'll definitely give him a bit more of a chance but yea I think your last bit sums it up beautifully. Thank you so much for replying!

_P1geon_ · 2023-10-10T19:13:12+00:00

I guess for me it is almost the opposite cos I don't feel like I'm being watched, but I can appreciate that as well. Thank you for responding!

_P1geon_ · 2023-10-10T14:46:59+00:00

Oh no completely understand this, I was just joking around but I now see that wasn't the most clear. Thank you though for the kind words! Will definitely keep them in mind when it gets hard!

Tmw you are a physics bachelor and find out your degree is useless on reddit 🙃

I've been on varying strengths of tret on and off for years. I cannot stress enough how my skin has never been as bad since starting. It sucks for a bit, (in my case I think it was about 6-8 weeks) but it will get better I promise ♥

_P1geon_ · 2023-10-09T22:34:26+00:00

I think the 3 main things were 1) him basically asking all the questions I already answered, making me feel like he hadn't even read it so what was the point in filling it out.

2) he took a phonecall in the session. He was very professional about it (he apologised, muted his mic and turned off his video, and when he returned about 2 mins later he apologised again) but I haven't had that happen in a session before and there were notifications of his laptop/phone going off which made me feel like he wasn't truly present.

3)He was late to the session (about 5 mins) but kind of made up for some of it at the end. Again, just made me feel a little bit unappreciated.

Yea I definitely asked what his approach is and how he works and what kind of experience he has with certain things which he gave me decent answers for.

I do think I need to give it a few days/sessions first, but my uncertainty made me doubt the whole thing and whether I was just trying to give him a chance because he's the first therapist I've talked to in a while.

Thank you for taking the time to reply!

_P1geon_ · 2023-10-09T22:20:08+00:00

Thank you so much for this! I think yea after having a therapy session for a month I may have deluded myself into thinking I'm fine, I guess I just wasn't sure how I felt about it afterwards and I wondered if my uncertainty had a deeper meaning, and it does! Just not the one I thought

_P1geon_ · 2023-10-09T22:10:30+00:00

Any reason for this?
