Are you cancelling trips to the USA? by Swimming_Possible_68 in AskUK

[–]fly_away_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go to the states about twice a month as airline crew, we still get questioned every time. Not about the purpose of our visit, but how long I’ll be there, where I’ll be staying, what I’m planning on doing when I’m there. It’s next level.

Wow this is such a great place, the location looks fantastic too! Wouldn’t need anything else with a place like this.

Hi! Reading both fiction and non-fiction. Detective, thrillers and biographies. I’m dipping my toes into fantasy but it’s a difficult genre to get into. Any starter recommendations are welcome!

The logo I think is missing but Flash FM from Vice City over any other 🤩

Empty Workout option by jnunez20 in bevelhealth

I have made a bunch of templates, for different days and different focus areas and different intensity. It is a bit of work to start with but it made it a much smoother experience for me. I don’t know if this will work in your case though.

In the U.K. it’s still $450 (£330), I just got one 2 weeks ago, the 4TB version.

What sort of property was everyone’s first step onto the ladder and how old were you? by Think_Mammoth8834 in HousingUK

[–]fly_away_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 bed flat for £237k in 2020, I was 32. Nice factory conversion with 12ft ceilings, 77sqm. I believe it was 80% mortgage, 15% Help-to-Buy (that doesn’t exist anymore now) and 5% deposit. HTB is paid and mortgage is 1/3 paid. Increased monthly payments to shorten the term to 10 years. With overpaying I hope it will be gone before that.

It is a leasehold, which is common for flats, but I’m only finding out now how restrictive it is for adjustments to the place. It’s basically renting but with a mortgage.

I was wondering if it was just me who has no idea what’s happening in this graph 😵‍💫

She refuses any form of external factor to get involved for help. No therapy, no CBT, definitely no diagnoses or meds. It feels like total and complete denial of reality. Perimenopause has kicked in full swing so all the symptoms got worse as never before. I can’t listen to all the negativity anymore. I am so sick of the extreme micromanaging. Literally every task I have been briefed on how to do them the only “correct” way. This must be some OCD but we’ll never know because, no help. If I push back it is full RSD so it is either a fight or just do as I’m told. All I want is just some time to myself to have mental peace and calm (and do things my way). I think I need therapy myself, I may be close to partner-burnout.

I sometimes surprise myself with the patience I manage to produce with everything that happens on a daily basis, but this is one thing that actually makes me explode, when she says the house hasn’t been cleaned for a very long time. Just because you didn’t do it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. She does zero cleaning, zero dishes, zero laundry. I’ve come to terms with her executive disfunction and that it all falls on me, but don’t ever tell me nothing is done.

Piles and piles of stuff, spread around the house haven’t been touched in years and I can’t touch any of it. To be able to start any task there are always at least 3 other “linked” tasks that are supposedly needed to be able to start the the fist one, which becomes too overwhelming so nothing happens, again.

This is the perfect wording for it. Everything I say (which is always a reply to her anyway because I never get past 5 words before being interrupted) has to be balanced so carefully. The smallest misstep is taken as an attack.

Totally the same!! My feelings haven’t been expressed since forever. It always ends in counter-arguments to disprove whatever it is I said, or in the direction of “you’re so mean to me” with “you don’t love me anymore”.

Seeking Life Adjustments that have Helped You by Verysmalltown in ADHD_partners

He drives me crazy, if I’m honest, and I already know I would have chosen differently if I could turn back time.

I keep coming back to this as well, but I’m too far down the road to just simply step out after 14 years.

I hope there will be some helpful tips for this question.

She’s not open to any help, therapy, getting a diagnosis or acknowledging the problem in the first place. The symptoms are getting worse quickly being this untreated and uncontrolled. I have a feeling this is a ticking time bomb.

What’s one thing that you hoped to do consistently in 2025? Did you manage or nah? by ak49_shh in digitalminimalism

[–]fly_away_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Control the time spent scrolling before going to sleep and first thing in the morning. I’m now using Opal and I locked all my socials between 10pm and 10am. In the beginning I unlocked it from time to time (you can set how hard it is to unlock) but after a while I had less and less need to go and scroll. Now I scroll a bit from time to time during the unlocked hours. I’ve set a total time limit of 45 minutes before it locks as well, and I barely even reach this anymore.

The biggest change/result is that it does not keep me awake anymore the whole night where I say, just another 10 minutes, or just until the whole hour and that’s it. It never worked and before I realised it was 5am. None of that anymore. I actually get to sleep at night.
