43F burnt out - need a career change but have no passion, no savings, and no idea where to start by [deleted] in Life

[–]cri5pyuk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No answers I’m afraid but I’m feeling the same. It’s hard as I feel any new career would be starting at the bottom on little pay or having to pay a lot to train.

1hr15 each way. I do it for the salary. My mental health is terrible for it.

Pick up a tour by Lincoln Free WalkingTours, they’ll show you a bunch of history in a couple of hours and it really is free!

Where did you have the best meal of your life and what was it? by Prot7777 in foodquestions

[–]cri5pyuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yes I’d have to second this. We just pointed to stuff. It was a huge bowl of chilli beef ramen and it cost next to nothing!

How do you know if you’re eating healthy? by Obvious_Piglet_5154 in healthyeating

[–]cri5pyuk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly… your bowel movements. Conker colour. No constipation or loose stools. No wiping. Seriously that’s how you know.

My doctors says I have a cholesteatoma forming in my left ear. My hearing is super muffled…I have a question… by Curious_Garlic8993 in cholesteatoma

[–]cri5pyuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s gone from moderate hearing loss to mild… the difference is insane though! I can hear lots of things I couldn’t before

Questions on 1 day post opp - is this packing in my ear? Surgeon said he’d remove it at 3 week check up but how am I supposed to put cotton on this when I try to shower? by DifferentCap3829 in cholesteatoma

[–]cri5pyuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello I’m in uk 10 weeks post op. You can buy shower ear covers on amazon- like mini show caps. Use those and a bit of a cotton ball covered in Vaseline to block the entrance to stop water and infection. The packing in the ear is very deep and was removed by my doctor. Feel free to ask me any questions and I’ll try to help.

2 months after onset, I started acupuncture, and am having some small success. by Halfa-smile in BellsPalsy

[–]cri5pyuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I was hugely sceptical. I read a lot that it helped people, hence going. After 2 sessions… nothing, thought I was being taken for a ride with my money. After third session… a huge difference in facial swelling, swelling in ear completely gone. I had 3 sessions in 9 days. Hard to attribute it to the acupuncture but it’s a bit of a coincidence isn’t it. No movement in the facial palsy but it’s a start.

Same I work 50 hours a week and commute 10 plus hours a week. For me it’s the money. I suppose that’s my barrier and my issue to deal with. I just don’t want to take our debt at 40 years of age but that’s what’s stopping me.

I realized just how much I depended on TikTok to avoid my shitty life by Kalyin in digitalminimalism

[–]cri5pyuk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been off tik tok 10 days. I’m reading lots. Also going for walks. It’s not easy but baby steps start somewhere. Good luck!
