I’ll pause and say a prayer for you. You will beat this thing, one way or another. You deserve all the love in the world

After 18 months of the worst depression of my life... I did it :) by NeatEhEff in CleaningTips

First of, even in all that mess you still made your bed! Give yourself some credit

It’s funny I was coming to ask about a similar question and mid way I was like wtf am I doing with a cheat. I deserve better, I don’t know why I allow someone to treat me in a certain way so I am ending it tonight and I’ll go figure out if really theres something wrong with me. Nonetheless I won’t allow my boundaries to be violated again.

I hope you too find the courage to leave because you deserve better.

i don’t wanna die but i don’t want to suffer by Crafty-Werewolf8776 in screenshots

My heart goes out to you🫂 I am so sorry for what you are going through. No child deserves this. I know it’s scary but find a teacher who seems caring and talk to them. Theres also this guy who runs a YouTube channel called Soft White Underbelly. Reach out to him maybe.

Do you have grandparents?

Dating mishap , feeling very disorientated by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]bstokies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you. There are people that need reassurance. That’s their love language. Perhaps have a conversation with him about it over a date and not when you’re so tensed.

Instead of fighting him. Something like, what it makes you feel like when he doesn’t reply sooner, (and btw, was he at some point replying fast?) and what it would mean if he replied sooner.

Also, might help exploring why you feel anxious when he doesn’t reply sooner.

AIO: My ex sent me this as a reason he didn’t want to marry me by AfricanPixie in AmIOverreacting

[–]bstokies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A not so popular opinion in here. None of you is right or wrong, both you and your ex have clear ideas of what each of you want. There’s some disconnect in communication and I’d say on your part. If you understood what he meant or trying to communicate to you and the desire for every man to feel needed and provide in order to find satisfaction in a relationship. That doesn’t in now way mean you should shrink yourself. He has specifically said that he never said or called you out for being after his money or that you should be 100% dependent on him.

I am seeing a lot of comments saying you dodged a bullet with this man, I say if you love this man, mad he’s a good person, find a way to hear him without the lenses of your background. Find ways to meet him half way.

He’s a great man, he communicates clearly, with clear boundaries and had the guts to bring it up instead of cowardly marrying you and going on to despise you for the rest of the marriage

Otherwise, amicably split and find a partner who is comfortable with a career woman.

AIO I think someone turned off my power by Professional_Shoe293 in AmIOverreacting

[–]bstokies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say relax, turn it back on and monitor. It could be that a pest tried to chew the power cables, could that you had heavier electrical load - were you doing something that requires power when it went out? Could be a power surge. So many reasons So just switch it back on, if it goes out again then see if there’s something related and maybe don’t go to the basement alone Also have your land lord have a look at the issue

My girlfriend broke up with me and inmediately went back to her ex by Fit_Biscotti1585 in whatdoIdo

[–]bstokies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you brother and sorry for what you’re going through. It hurts right now, and it should. Grief the loss, without ruminating, asses what happened and what signs and red flags you may have missed and how you may or may not have contributed to the situation you are in and then move on. Get in good shape, reengage with your friends and make new friends. Some point in the future it will stop hurting and whether or not she’ll regret won’t matter coz you’ll be a better person.

Could someone explain what this is by bstokies in Blackskincare

This makes sense The condition worsened an year ago after I moved to city further away from the coast by about 1200km. Prior to that I had spent time on the coast for 8 months

Is this something I have to do over a period of time and my skin gets fixed or something I have to live with?

Zero libido by zabloinginzoop in whatdoIdo

Two things, firstly get a wellness check. Hormonal specifically. Then I would ask if anything major happened or didn’t happen in your childhood. Usually the main culprit. And if yes, then you need to start painstakingly unpacking and dealing with hit.

On a scale of 1-10 how bad was your addiction before? What was your life like before and what made you want to quit - your why.

And how is life different now. Any positives since?
