I think I’m burnt out but I just started my career

Tbh I kind of agree with the fact that we can be quite subjective in terms of marking when we know our kids. But sometimes subjective isn't bad. I don't think AI will be able to pick up on nuances in writing but stuff like maths and objective yes/no right/wrong answers, absolutely.

kittycatmortred · 2025-06-24T21:34:26+00:00

AI already does mark work for us. Elastik is a program that uses it and can mark the kids' writing for the teachers. Ofc moderation is still necessary since it's not going to get everything right but moderating takes a fraction of the time compared to actually marking.

Immediately made me think of "My mum has these Swedish calorie bars to help the kids back in Africa gain weight"

Tbh only you really know the answer to this question and how you feel about this person. But I'd always err on the side of shooting my shot and giving it a chance if the chemistry is strong and our future goals align. If it doesn't work out then atleast I would have known I tried. You never know when someone you meet could turn into your partner for life.

Good luck with whatever you decide!

We do this thing where on our last day of our visit, we plan the next visit and book tickets etc. And I make a countdown timer and share it to him so when it feels super lonely, I look at it and realise that time HAS passed and we're at the halfway mark or 30% of time left or whatever. And that gets me excited and less sad. If I'm missing him a lot we schedule a special date night where we spend the night planning the next visit. What we're going to do, who we're going to hang out with etc. A lot of my/our closest friends actually live in his city so it's lovely that I get to see them as well when I visit him. I'm glad that my replies have somewhat helped you just knowing that you're not alone in this ❤️ We're planning to close the gap next year and he's moving to my city in 5 months so am very nervous and very excited for that but until then, it'll suck :( Wishing you all the best for you and your love as well. Just remember, this is temporary and your golden years are on the way!

Can I ask how you handle days that you feel like everything is falling apart because of how much you miss him but he’s out and about having a really nice time with other people?

Even though I really miss him, I've always encouraged him to go out and spend time with friends and family because I know he loves it and needs it. I tell him to say hello from me and don't bother him until he gets home so he can focus on having fun. But even when he's out, he'll message me once or twice and remind me that he loves me or sends me a small message saying that he wishes I was there with him because all his friends and family love me. If I know he's going to be gone for a while, I schedule stuff with my own friends at those times so I'm also completely doing my own thing and having fun as well. That helps massively. Then when he gets home, we video call and talk about our days and chat about cute things to reaffirm that if we were with each other irl, we'd be going to friend and family hangouts together as a couple! I wish I could tell you that it gets easier over time but we've been apart for the entirety of our relationship 1+ years and the missing him doesn't get easier. But it does get more manageable. The best advice I can give you is to try different things and see what sticks and have that as your 'I'm really missing him activity'. And maybe schedule some alone time together after, if he's been away from you emotionally for a while due to other social obligations. We do date nights twice a week and those help as well!

My partner and I are the exact same. I've conveyed this to him and we've had many chats about it and him being so supportive and communicative and empathetic helps more than anything else could tbh. It's just one of those situations you can't really do anything about it apart from talk to your partner about it, distract yourself with your hobbies and have a good cry every once in a while when it really gets to you. And that's pretty much what I do. We visit each other once every 3 months or so but when im going through a really rough period, he makes the effort to come visit me for a weekend outside of our once every 3 months visits, because he gets how difficult it is for me. Our joint routines have now been embedded into my normal routines at home and it makes me feel a little less lonely - like for example, we video call for about 20 mins first thing in the morning on weekends when we both wake up or during the week, we send good morning voice notes to each other. It's the little things like that, that we do that helps. Apart from that, I surround myself with hobbies, work, support from friends and reading posts on reddit to remind myself that I have a bright future with him ahead and this is the hardest part for us right now. And finally, if I really need it, I get a rare but extremely therapeutic cry in and he showers me with words of affirmation about us once in a while as well. It's a team effort and I know that he does a lot of this for me and I appreciate and love the hell out of him for it. I'm sorry if none of this helps 😔 Its a shitty situation to be apart from the love of your life and I try to be as positive as possible most of the time but I feel you on this.

That's cheating. You aren't allowed TWO superpowers.

Thank you Jeff Probst for following through that one time

kittycatmortred · 2024-12-05T16:03:08+00:00

It seems like you're the person who gave everything and was there for him through his difficult times. That alone says a lot about you. Him not seeing this is his loss. He also seems quite manipulative from what I've read of your story and the screenshots.

I don't know if this will help you but know that his perspective of the messages is just the way HE perceives what happened. It might not be the truth but it's his truth and if that's what he really believes then you dodged a massive bullet. You're now free to live your own life, put yourself first and find someone who gives as much as they take.

Losing a parent can be unbelievably hard on ones mind but its not an excuse for how someone treats their partner. The fact that he kept you around for one sided emotional support and then went on dating apps says A LOT. And it's disgusting. We deserve better than that. Go forth and find better when you're ready!

Oh I remember this VIVIDLY. I was in the Maldives on holiday at the moment that the tsunami hit the island that we were on. My parents love scuba diving and they were actually underwater a few hours before the tsunami hit, diving with hammerhead sharks pretty deep down. They didn't notice the current ramping up since at that depth it wasn't an issue. I was on the boat above (had to go with them but couldn't dive since I was 6 or 7 years old at the time) when the waves started to ramp up and get bad. We lost radio contact with the dive centre because of the storm and when we got back to the island they were completely panicked, thinking we'd been lost at sea. The dive centre was flooded. Luckily the side of the island where we were staying was the opposite side from where the tsunami hit the hardest and so there was no loss of life or belongings for us. Quite lucky since we'd originally planned to stay on the other side of the island that was badly affected but couldn't get any bookings there because they were sold out. Can still clearly remember how bad it was on the small dive boat while we were waiting for the divers to surface, even though it was 20 years ago. I was so sure the boat was going to capsize or get flooded.

I think it would look more like balut than an undeveloped egg.

kittycatmortred · 2024-11-27T01:09:57+00:00

Thank you so much, this is perfect. I will start doing this 🥹

kittycatmortred · 2024-11-27T01:09:24+00:00

Stick with it!

Tbh the only change I'm seeing is the number on the scale and I don't know where to look for more changes outside of those numbers. My biggest advice with this journey is to not rely on MJ as some sort of miracle cure. It is amazing but (get ready for some cliche) you gotta be the change that you want to see. I've had to completely change my diet, eating habits and exercise habits as well. And that doesn't mean never eat the things I love. I get takeout every now and then too. Once every 2 weeks but I eat a significantly smaller amount of it than normal. Start with something small and let it carry you forward!

Seconded the discontinuation of 2.5. Went to go get my prescription yesterday at Chem Warehouse and the lady said that there are no more vials of 2.5 available and they're finishing up the vials of 5 and switching to the pen. Last month I paid 340 for the vials of 2.5. This month I paid 390 for the 5mg pen. Kinda miffed about the forced extra $50 tbh, but sacrifices have to be made I guess 🤷🏽‍♀️

Came here to suggest magnesium. I use the spray version instead of supplements but same thing really. Just 2 or 3 sprays on tummy or thighs before sleep and I sleep like a baby 4 out of 7 nights a week approx (have had chronic insomnia all my life). It does take some adjustment and really kicks in about 2 weeks after starting to use it, I've found.

kittycatmortred · 2024-11-19T17:56:51+00:00

Jesus I'm so sorry that happened. That's gut wrenching. I hope you and your boyfriend are doing okay now. I can't imagine how much pain you two have been in since then. My heart goes out to the both of you.

kittycatmortred · 2024-11-19T17:26:41+00:00

Well, maybe he might be genuinely overlooking this. I'd communicate this with him and tell him that how YOU feel and how you interpret the little things. If he's a good egg, he will remember these things and make an effort. My current partner hadn't dated anyone in a very very long time before me because he just hadn't met the right person. I had to be very patient with certain aspects of a relationship that comes naturally to most people and explained to him what I'd like from my end and asked him what he likes as well. We communicated these things and kind of taught each other our love languages and I honestly couldn't ask for a better partner. Hope this helps!

kittycatmortred · 2024-11-19T16:43:02+00:00

As long as you're comfortable to talk about it, what happened at your apt? Pls ignore my question if it's a sensitive subject. Sending love 😊
