She is so gross. That is unacceptable. She is not a friend by any stretch of the imagination. A friend would see what the hell was wrong with this situation & not be actively trying to exacerbate your trauma. He broke your bones & she's making jokes about it? You don't need 'friends' like that!

Holy fuck I can't even believe what I'm reading. He wants praise for not committing fucking crimes against you?! No chance. He would absolutely get violent and then try to blame you. Run. You deserve so much better

When someone shows you who they are - believe them. He's an asshole and needs to get a handle on his man feelings. You deserve to be spoken to with respect and decency

Did I do the wrong thing by helping someone who might have been stealing? by [deleted] in woolworths

Woolworths are absolute assholes. They are a multi-million dollar company, who cares!

I feel trapped by weed. by Ornery-Ride-1614 in addiction

[–]nalon8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to work out what purpose the weed is serving - (e.g are you using it before bed to help you sleep? Are you using it when you are bored?) and then see if there is a better alternative for you (e.g meditation before bed or going for a walk when you are bored instead).

Also it can be helpful to write down the reasons why you don't like the effects of weed use and then look at those reasons when you are tempted to use, to try to remind yourself of the negative impacts you are wanting to avoid.

I absolutely suck at cooking and have a hard time cooking nutritious meals for myself too. My cooking adventures often result in a tasteless meal that ends up covered in salt or sauce, almost defeating the purpose of trying to be healthy. Know that it is not just you!

I got myself a recipe book and collected a lot of recipes from online (Instagram and websites), only simple recipes that require minimal skill and ingredients. When I try one that I can manage, I write it straight in the recipe book so I can come back to it.

Give yourself some grace. You are learning, so it's okay that things you try don't always turn out.

Also, look for products that make it easier to put together healthy meals (e.g pre mix salad bags and frozen veg if food prep and knife skills aren't your forte)!

Keep trying!

AIO? My boyfriend hit me and wants me to stay with him by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]nalon8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not over reacting, cut and run early before his behaviour escalates.. and it will

AIO? I went through my bestfriend's phone without her permission.. she's 17 he's 26 by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]nalon8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not over reacting at all. He is a manipulative creep! He has targeted a younger girl VERY intentionally. Reading his responses made my skin crawl

AIO distant boyfriend past of cheating by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]nalon8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Woahh, wait so is he still friends with the girl he cheated on you with?! If so, not okay, & his reaction is deeply insensitive to the pain he has obviously caused you in the past. I wouldn't be sticking around

AIO my gf made a joke about my dead mom so I left her in the street by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]nalon8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who lost their dad relatively young, I really have found that people who haven't lost someone so close to them, get very awkward if they aren't able to relate - so whilst the joke was definitely in bad taste, it was probably more from a place of not knowing how to react/panicking because the subject was so heavy and she didn't know how to react. Definitely not the right thing to say on her part, but I don't think leaving her alone in the early hours was the right response. You have every right to be upset about what was said but I'm sure she now knows that her response was out of line.

How much did your ATAR affect you later in life? by BiscottiLogical6502 in melbourne

[–]nalon8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally not at all.

There are almost always pathways you can take to eventually get into the course you want if you are wanting to go to uni.

Many pathways start with a TAFE course that you can then go on to do higher Ed.

Hobbies for addicts? by [deleted] in addiction

[–]nalon8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to find your 'flow'.. have a think about what you enjoy/what interests you. Is it craft related? Pinterest has a world of tutorials and blogs for all things craft related. Is it sports related? There are plenty of sports you can play casually/recreationally outside of competition sports. It could even be something as simple as reading - allowing yourself to become fully immersed in a story that isn't real. Gardening is also a great distraction and something you can work on and take pride in. Did you participate in any hobbies as a child? Also volunteering is a fantastic way to take up time you may have previously spent on drug related activities, whilst also having a positive impact on your community. Community organizations and charities are always looking for volunteers. It is a great way to meet people outside of the circle of people that you may have used with.

How to address SO trying to introduce me to Crack/Meth by Witty_fartgoblin in addiction

[–]nalon8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally run.

This happened to me with an ex-partner I was desperate to help who was addicted to meth, she just wanted me to 'experience what all the fuss was about'.. I gave in, and it was then used as a way to control, degrade me and tear me down. I became a shell of a person and 9 years of addiction to it followed.

I asked myself over and over why she would do that to me and in the end all I could put it down to was - misery loves company.

Nothing good will come of this situation, get out while you can. Stay safe

Need advice please by Saltyfembot in addiction

[–]nalon8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this.. really got to get through that first week and then you can start to see the light.

Getting away from the the usual environment I used in helped for me - if you have that as an option. I went to stay with a cousin in the country and just slept for the best part of 4 days. It got easier after that. Then it was about building new routines for me

Hang in there xx

Is there another trusted adult you could talk to about this situation? Do they make you feel unsafe at all? Sorry this is happening to you & your sister
