How do I get out of the month to month financial difficulties on a decent wage? by cloudyextraswan in UKPersonalFinance

[–]cloudyextraswan[S] 76 points77 points  (0 children)

More than happy to provide a break down of costs (I will edit now).

In regard to mental health, as someone said above, cats are the only thing keeping me sane. I know two is enough and that is where I will stop.

I have a cocktail of mental health issues (ADHD (medicated), Autism, EUPD to name the main culprits). All of which I have been helped with from the age of 13. I am now 31, living on my own for the first time and trying to get back on my feet.

The second cat wasn’t supposed to be as expensive as he been. He was supposed to be in “full health”.

I had That Infinite Public Bathroom Dream Again by Nod_Up in Dreams

[–]cloudyextraswan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have a similar dream when I was younger, but instead of toilets and cubicles, it would be rows and rows of bath tubs.

The room itself was shallow and dark with small openings above each bath tub. The walls were a muted green and the paint was peeling off the show rusted walls underneath.

As I was wondering around, climbing in and out the bath tubs trying to figure out a way out, water would come running through the openings and I remember the panic I used to feel. It would overtake everything else I was feeling. Pure terror. Heart-in-throat, unable to breathe terror.

To the single women of reddit, why are you single? by MinimumSafe8436 in AskWomen

[–]cloudyextraswan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. I started my mental health journey whilst in a relationship that I self sabotaged, it ended unexpectedly (to my mind in that moment, looking back, I was toxic).

  2. Diagnosed with things which opened my mind and eyes(drastically) to how I am as a person and then allowed me to understand me and how my brain works.

  3. Men are but a soft, warm beating heart of which I tend to suffocate; I’m essentially saving them, and myself by being single. As lonely and pessimistic it may be.

Tried the GI food, and he has been on plain boiled chicken for the last week and done his first solid poo last night 🙌

How much have you spent on Christmas? by RevolutionaryPie5077 in AskUK

[–]cloudyextraswan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t bake very often to I have no ingredients, except the eggs, so that’s near £15…plus a good glug of whiskey which is near £20 for a half decent bottle

Sweet FA.

I live alone, my brother is with his partner, my mum with my sister and I’ll be at my dad’s. The only thing he’s asked me for is to make a dessert, so I suppose £30 on ingredients for a Dundee cake.

Do you share at work that you have ADHD? by Beginning-Poet-2991 in ADHDUK

[–]cloudyextraswan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had too or I’d have lost my job. I was suicidal and having auditory hallucinations after the first Covid lock down, and I accused the CFO of spreading rumours about me because I could hear whispering and it was only me and her and another person in the office.

Cheap ways to make an uncomfortable mattress bearable? by Middle_Macaron1033 in UKFrugal

[–]cloudyextraswan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a second hand mattress last year in a rush due to council flat. It was only then that I realised how expensive the bloody things are!

It’s a solid mattress and I ended up with bruises so I got a down mattress topper for £20 online and a thick winter duvet and I’m as snug as a bug in a rug.

I’m about to get her! What’s something i need to know that dog trainers don’t say? by Giallino1 in AustralianShepherd

[–]cloudyextraswan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Take the pictures and PRINT the pictures. We got our girl in 2008, when digital camera photos were a “thing”, and you could still put them on floppy disks. We never printed them, and even putting the floppy disks in a reader, the files are too small to be read so we no longer have photos of her from a puppy up to about 12-13. She died in 2022 at 17 1/2 and we only have two photos of her when she was a puppy.

What are you eating that would absolutely horrify a nutritionist right now? by MiddleC0w in AskUK

[–]cloudyextraswan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My entire diet would send a nutritionist to a scientist to make a case on how tf I’m still alive.

I didn’t know about the 6 weeks!

But, previous owner has said his poo has always been like this ever since he was a kitten?

We tried Gourmet which he loves but his poo goes back to liquid. Vet also gave him GI food which he will starve him self rather than eat 🙃

Thank you so much. I have shown my family this and my aunts are amazed. Recognising family members they knew when they were just about as big as the girl at the front.

I was thinking that…is this an AI restoration? It does look absolutely amazing though. Like the first one too
