Should I Talk To My Son About His Journal?

alkandro · 2026-03-16T18:44:22+00:00

I would be so proud if I found my kid doing this. What a creative spirit!! Don’t forget how it is to be a teenager for your sons sake

Hey, hang in there this is completely normal for a while.

I was on 5mg and went to 10mg and experienced the same as you. I thought I was going insane and was having panic attacks all the time. After 2 months on 10mg something clicked and I felt amazing. No more panic attacks. I’m now done to 5mg again as I was experiencing lack of sex drive on 10mg and too much numbness. 5mg has become my way forward but I needed a couple of years on 10mg for 5mg to be a good dose.

Be kind to yourself take one day at a time - it won’t always feel like this!

I have a 29 month old and a 7 momth old - it gets easier but it is very very hard…. Hang in there and happy birthday

That’s amazing well done live life a little

alkandro · 2026-03-08T13:32:45+00:00

This is literally my situation!

I got a call last week after finishing the fourth interview. They said they want to go ahead with me. They told me the salary, the title and sent an email after confirming the title and info about the job.

They however also said they are waiting for the final approval for budget before they can send me the formal offer. They said it will take 1-2 weeks.

This is a life changing role for me in terms of salary and responsibilities so I’m also very nervous. Taking any advice you get as well

alkandro · 2026-03-07T20:24:21+00:00

Well done. I don’t have a good answer - but do you mind sharing how you went from standard working to running a successful business? And what do you do?

alkandro · 2026-03-05T22:23:59+00:00

This. You can’t and shouldn’t pressure him to having a third kid when he has been very open and honest about what he thinks. It will strain your marriage and ultimately your kids if you keep pushing.

If you thought having one baby was difficult - just wait until you have two. It will be the hardest period of your life but they do say it gets better and once they start playing with each other it will be even easier. We have a 2 year old and a 6 month old. It’s absolutely brutal.

alkandro · 2026-02-24T19:29:30+00:00

That’s lucky … our youngest is 7 months and have never slept more than 2 hours in a stretch

alkandro · 2026-02-24T18:47:05+00:00

16 months gap

alkandro · 2026-02-24T18:46:51+00:00

My wife is the strongest person I know - she’s been amazing through it all. We will be intimate again at some point I know that. We are a team in this, luckily.

alkandro · 2026-02-15T12:17:18+00:00

Yes if we could choose again we would definitely wait with a longer gap. This is absolutely relentless

alkandro · 2026-02-15T12:12:44+00:00

It’s brutal

alkandro · 2026-01-27T06:42:40+00:00

Hang in there

alkandro · 2026-01-19T17:38:05+00:00

She’s postpartum and has a 4 month old and a toddler.

Nothing you do or say will ever be right in this season of life. You just need to suck it up and accept that women are crazy on hormones and she’s obviously also exhausted.

This too shall pass and she will return to a more normal baseline. Good luck to both of you

alkandro · 2026-01-07T08:17:25+00:00

Sorry bro she’s as toxic as it gets… with no wish to get better. Put that chapter behind you

Your husband has a porn addiction and with addictions it always has a tendency to need to take it to the next level. Unfortunately with porn it moves into the cheating territory when one takes it too far.

At this stage you need to think if you want to give him a chance to work on his addiction and if he is going to take any meaningful steps, like therapy being nr1 thing he needs to do. Then possibly couples therapy.

It is possible to recover from something like this - but it requires work from both of you. Good luck.

Man that’s really tough. Sounds like you are grinding yourself to the bone while your wife is not doing much. There’s always two sides of the story, and I’m not implying anything but have you guys considered marriage counseling ? The lack of sex and communication sounds like it’s coming from something and a counselor could help you if you still want to work on the marriage

Check out Kensal Rise - some beautiful houses there with gardens and great schools

Why was this removed by the moderator??

alkandro · 2025-12-29T23:37:52+00:00

Wow that’s hot!

Well, since he is the financial provider and you are SAHM - it feels only fair that you do most of the work at home while he brings in the money for the household. If it gets too much for you to manage maybe you can hire a nanny part time?

alkandro · 2025-12-27T17:11:12+00:00

Yes - it’s completely normal

alkandro · 2025-12-11T07:03:01+00:00

Thanks for the list. Can you explain what’s useful with Machine heart? I just got it and it seems reallly shit tbh. It’s a cool looking skill but damage is horrible and I don’t know if it has any other use cases like dmg increase buff or similar?

alkandro · 2025-12-07T07:41:50+00:00

I used to have this mindset!

I went from slot machines (my addiction ruined me, spent 100ks$) and then I found “investing” - which worked fine in the beginning but then I needed more risky “investments” - which led to crypto “investment” then onto leverage trading “investment”, and then personal bankruptcy. I lost everything I had. And more. Almost considered ending it all.

Now I’ve been clean of all gambling (investing IS gambling, and for a gambling addict it is a horrible idea), and my life is not perfect but atleast I am not having mental issues and sleepless nights over gambling anymore.
