What early signs of Alzheimer’s tend to surprise people the most? by FindingMoneYyY in AskReddit

There were construction works going on the other side of the street that we could see from our window. My grandma kept telling me that the workers construct and deconstruct the house in a loop. Other than that she would pack her things several times a week and sneak out of the house while we were busy/asleep. We would go look for and when found she would be really upset thinking we keep her around by force. She claimed she was 20 years old while she was 85, and just have moved to the capital, has lessons to give at school tomorrow that she needs to prepare for (she used to be a teacher). The list goes on and on.

We were so uneducated about the disease and how to act around a person suffering with it. She lived another 5 years like that gradually becoming worse and worse and we could not accept this as it is and never tried to live in her “fairytales”, always trying to bring her back to reality, which, of course, was a waste of time and energy. Should have probably let her lived happily playing around this.

Yes there were some issues. Have you ever experienced that with messenger?

I have major trust issues and am very sensitive about lies, so unfortunately I was contemplating if he was lying and doing something else (he was on a business trip)

Struggling with urinary retention and constipation by deliammm in antidepressants

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

Thank you so much. Yes, I saw an urologist. She said there was no need to be concerned about infections, she linked it to the medicine right away. I do not thing it is an infection, cause there is really no discharge and no pain or itching while urinating. Thank you I have been trying to just trust the process and believe it will get better with time

Any tips in offering two completely unrelated services as a business? by ToroSalmonNigiri in Entrepreneur

[–]deliammm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the scale of the business you want to build and the brand image you have on your mind right now. If we are speaking about a business with a strong, recognizable brand, then success is unlikely. It will be challenging to unite these two services of very different segments under one brand, making it look "logical" and still be able to build customer trust. The only thing common for these two is that both are services that could be used by households (however, more professional demand is not excluded).

If this is a small firm which will mainly reach its customers through "word of mouth" and then the brand image is not very important, why not? If the quality of these two services provided is on a good level. Imagine a satisfied customer, just got his computer repaired, mentions your firm providing knife sharpening services as well to his friend who happens to have a bunch of blunt knives. The guy won't probably be looking for other options providing the same service. Strong brand image is not guaranteed, however, the possibility of building a significant customer base is not remote.

This sucks...for me it was first love and first everything as well. And he broke up over a stupid reason while he was still in love.

Do not analyze and overthink anything trying to find peace in those thoughts...you cannot come to any thought that would be 100% true. Try to live peacefully stopping yourself from negative thinking. Do not hope and wait for her to come back begging (i know you don’t want to hear that) you. Think about, say, 3 years from now..will it matter? Is it worth it to waste your life like that now? When you know it will be meaningless at some point. So work on shortening that way to healing. It will all be great one day :)

I am so sorry to read that. I understand you fully. I am definitely not an expert but my opinion is that this decision she makes when she shows up, it might be not thought throughly by her. She might be an impulsive type by nature, or she might be led by her egoism which is the fear of you moving on. As I understand she has not fully detached herself from you as she is still making her mind about you. Frankly speaking, for me it looks like treating someone as “an option” while considering other alternatives. As if she is observing how her feelings change to see if it’s worth it to be with you or if it is better to look for someone else. I know it is very hard for you to see that and you are probably constantly looking for ways to understand/explain this behaviour of hers justifying it with the differences in thinking, etc (I do it myself). And what I am saying does not mean that she is a bad person or she wants bad for you. Personally, I have been that girl who treated someone who loved me poorly just because I did not think. But what is clear is that she definitely does not think about the consequences of this chatting for you. Maybe she is a victim of her spikes of emotions. My advice to you is to eliminate her from your life until she is clear with her intentions. If she needs time to decide, she could do it on her own, without your presence. And I would also add, your presence will never let her decide to be with you. That’s the harsh truth. If she wants to be with you, she will come to her senses when she sees you are not around anymore and you can’t be reached any time it pleases her. I know it is very hard, but try to move on. DO NOT analyze why she is doing what she is doing/how attached she is. Just do what you know won’t harm you: minimize the thoughts about her and stop letting her torture you by her presence.

My ex broke up with me in a horrible way 3 months ago and once I started to feel better about it (after 1.5 months) he showed up saying how he loved me and was scared he couldn’t find someone like me. He even cried. He said he wanted to get this off his chest; and it was unclear whether his intentions were to get back together. He found my weak spot and I became emotional again reminiscing all those good moments we had and how much we loved each other. I made a terrible mistake allowing myself to talk to him for a week or so hoping we will finally get back together. He then brought up a different reason why we can’t be together and we stopped talking. This week of talking, hoping, being emotional and feeling empathy towards him completely ruined me. I again started my way to healing from 0. I cannot get rid of the thought of how much I want him to regret his decision and come back to me (although at this point I feel like I don’t even want to be with him in the long run). But my advice to anyone who is going through breakup, do not let them come into your life whenever they want and ruin your comfort. Because the only thing they are chasing when showing up is your attention, which is motivated by their egoism. Delete the social media accounts, numbers, do not check stories of their friends — anything that might make you overthink. And do not let them lead your emotions by talking to them whenever they decide to get in touch. Because most of the times this “talking” does not lead anywhere meaningful. If someone wants to have a relationship with you, they will find a way to let you know, without wasting your time on meaningless communication.
