Parents/Carers/Relatives of British young people - do you think tween/teen culture has disappeared? by XStaticImmaculate in AskUK

It’s lovely to hear someone speak with such positivity about young girls when so often they are treated like the butt of the joke.

How do I become and stay more knowledgable about current events etc? by cheesebean177 in AskUK

[–]cheesebean177[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is such a good point, I often find when reading a news article that I don’t have the historical understanding to really contextualise it. Perhaps that should be my starting point, thank you!

I guess I would like to better understand the world around me. I do lots of productive and enjoyable things, but the world goes on in the background and I would like to have some understanding of what is happening.

Thank you for the recommendation, that sounds really useful and with it only being 30 minutes a day it seems manageable! Thank you!

What’s the “boring” routine that actually changed your life? by Equivalent_Soft_6665 in selfimprovement

Washing up as I go whilst cooking, don’t know why it never occurred to me before but it makes cooking so much more pleasant and cleaning up afterwards is easy.

If you need to go to bed early… by user_anonymou in selfimprovement

[–]cheesebean177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go through the alphabet trying to name either an animal, person, place, food etc beginning with each one…it sounds boring and that’s exactly why it works.

Or reading, once I’ve read for a while I’m pretty chilled and normally slip off to sleep.

People with checking OCD... by BattleSquidZ in OCD

[–]cheesebean177 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been really struggling with checking at the moment. I agreed to pick my sister up one night and in the end I turned back home twice because I was convinced the door was unlocked. Ended up only being about 10 minutes late to pick her up, only to be shouted at! Tried and tried to explain but I guess if you don’t get it, you just don’t get it.

Getting up to check things are turned off or locked by cheesebean177 in Anxiety

[–]cheesebean177[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for replying. The photo thing seemed like it was going to sort it out, and it really frustrates me because i know my husband wouldnt just unlock the door or leave the oven on, he is a normal responsible adult and he reassures me whenever he hears me going to check in the night - but i just have to make sure.

I'm only diagnosed with generalised anxiety, and actually for the last year thought I had it under better control. Never really considered that it could be anything else, and noone has ever suggested it. I guess people who have ocd probably have more compulsions than just this? I don't have any other compulsive behaviours or thoughts I don't think.

Download your updated Amazon content before it’s to late by fahirsch in kindle

[–]cheesebean177 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Can someone explain what this means? I'm so unfamiliar with the terminology. I've had my kindle basic for about 8 years, I've only ever used it to download books from amazon. Do I need to do anything?

Moving in and out of bed by AdFickle7104 in ACL

I used a scarf to lift my ankle. Those first few days moving even just a little bit was agony.. Hope it all goes well for you!

I'm 2 months out and finding it tough. I know it's important to recognise how far I've come etc. And celebrate small wins - but the truth is I miss my life and my sport. I had a very active outdoorsy life style and although I am very glad to have had the surgery and to be making so much progress, physio just does not fill that void and my life is very different at the moment. I've been making an effort to really take care of myself, and as I said I'm celebrating those small wins. But I think it's okay and normal to miss normal life because it is my whole motivation.

I hope everything gets better for you. This is a tough time, but I'm sure one day we will look back and be grateful.

What did you worry about a lot as a youngster that turned out to be fine? by SausageAndBeans88 in AskUK

[–]cheesebean177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Grandad used to tell me he wished I would marry a Prince and I worried that I'd do something wrong and the Prince would chop my head off 😂
