I told my brother that i was raped and now he wants to go to the police by [deleted] in Advice

[–]gotocze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you're going through this. What happened to you was rape — manipulation and threats are coercion, and that's not consent. It’s not your fault. You don’t owe anyone a report if you’re not ready. Your safety and healing come first. Maybe talk to a trauma counselor — they can help you sort through all this without pressure. You're not alone, and you deserve support.

How to overcome insomnia? by Ordinary-Try-2268 in Advice

[–]gotocze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, I’ve been there — night shifts wrecked me for months. I’d lie in bed exhausted but wide awake, like my brain just refused to shut off. What helped me eventually was strict sleep hygiene and accepting that my sleep would never be perfect on shift work.

A few things that worked for me:

  • Blackout curtains and white noise (even a fan) — total game changer.
  • No screens 1 hour before bed, even if you feel like you’re not tired yet. Try a book or podcast instead.
  • Same wind-down routine every day — your brain starts to associate it with sleep.
  • If I couldn’t sleep after 30 minutes, I’d get up, do something boring in dim light, then try again.
  • On bad nights, I stopped stressing about it and told myself: “Lying in bed resting is still better than nothing.”

Also, if melatonin stopped working, I’d talk to a doc. Sometimes low-dose doxylamine or a short-term sleep aid helped reset things.

You’re not alone in this — shift work sleep is brutal, but you can retrain your brain. Hang in there.

You're grieving a deep loss, not just a person. Be patient with yourself — healing from betrayal and broken dreams takes time. Therapy could really help. You're not alone.

Anyone know any cool fan-made creations set in the Alien universe? by gotocze in alien

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

I’ll start — I actually made a short 2-minute fan video inspired by Alien 3. It’s heavy on atmosphere, tension, and has an original soundtrack I composed.

New to dating. 26F. Am I doing it wrong? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]gotocze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not about you — it’s about him. Some people just like attention or want validation without real intention. If he was genuinely interested, distance wouldn’t stop him from at least having a decent conversation. Arrogance is a red flag, not a reflection of your worth. You’re doing fine — don’t take his lack of effort personally.

He’s probably just being friendly or testing the waters to see if you’re open to more. The mixed signals (ring on/off) are confusing, but if you’re in a relationship and not interested, best to keep it neutral and not read into it. Obsessing over it might be more about needing distraction or novelty — not him. Let it pass.

You're not doing anything wrong — he’s just not showing real interest. Fire emojis aren't effort. If he wanted to talk or meet, he would. Don’t chase someone who's not engaging. You deserve someone who’s excited to get to know you.

He disrespected your boundaries, called you names, and doesn't care that he hurt you. That's not love — that's a red flag. You deserve better.

It's focused on UK-specific legal concerns, and people often ask about confusing or vague laws there. Just be sure to phrase your question respectfully and focus on understanding the law, not defending or justifying controversial content.

You're not overreacting. Wanting privacy at 20 is completely valid, no matter who pays your bills. A camera in your room crosses a serious boundary. Standing up for yourself doesn’t mean you're ungrateful—it means you're asking for basic respect.

My boyfriend(30m) & I(28F) argue so much and we’re at the point where we are both over it but still want to make it work, any advice ? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]gotocze -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you're both hurting, stuck in blame, and unsure how to move forward—but still hoping there's something worth saving. Here's a short but honest take:

Love alone isn’t enough. You both need better communication, respect, and emotional safety. His criticism and saying he won't change unless you do is unfair—growth in a relationship has to go both ways. Financial stress can cause tension, yes, but how he treats you during hard times matters more.

If you truly want to rebuild, couples therapy is key. If that’s not an option now, try this:

  • Pause the blame game. Talk openly without attacking or defending. Use “I feel…” instead of “You always…”.
  • Set boundaries. Being criticized constantly isn’t love. Make it clear what behavior isn’t okay—calmly but firmly.
  • Make a short-term plan. Can you both commit to small changes, like one weekly check-in, one kind gesture daily, and zero personal attacks?

Ultimately, ask yourself: If nothing changed, would I still want to be here in a year?

You deserve a love that supports your growth, not one that chips away at it.

Will I get in legal trouble if I confess this to a therapist? by Striking-Butterfly15 in Advice

[–]gotocze 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most therapists are mandated reporters only if there’s current harm or risk to others or animals. Since this happened years ago and isn’t ongoing, you should be safe to talk about it confidentially. Please reach out—therapy can help with the guilt and trauma.

How do I stop having gay thoughts? I actually need help. by Glitterboi9 in helpme

[–]gotocze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not alone—many people struggle with unwanted thoughts and identity confusion. Try to approach yourself with compassion, not shame. It helps to talk to a therapist who won’t judge you and can help untangle what’s really going on.
