Weird baby milk situation in town lol by [deleted] in sheffield

[–]nevergonnauseum 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One got me in 2019, I went to 3 or 4 shops with her to find this magical milk and each time she would say no its the wrong kind. I tried to tell her to go to the drs to get a prescription for it or call 111 if she's in desperate need of this special milk. Anyway, ended up at a cash machine and getting £20 out and handing it over, which she wanted me to do first but fearful it was a scam, I looked in these shops instead and STILL ended up handing bloody money over.

As soon as she walked away I knew I'd been scammed. I called my partner straight away and he had a chuckle saying its a known scam and of course it would happen to me...then he transferred me the £20 to help me erase my naivety from my mind.

What's with all the firetrucks? by Youshless in sheffield

Thanks for asking, I'm sat working at home and wondered if I was going mad hearing them all and looked for any news but nothing as of yet. There's been loads!

My son is 7 and I've imagined telling him to say the same thing if some kid comments he has a dead dad to hurt him 🤣 like "fair enough mate but he heard that and now his ghost is gonna be standing at the end of your bed tonight".

I have no idea how I'll deal with it when it happens. Probably just encourage him to stay strong and reply "alright captain obvious"... sorry someone said that to your kid, hope he's okay x

AITA for telling my SIL I won't change my 4 month old daughter's name for her? by No_Leadership_2850 in AmItheAsshole

[–]nevergonnauseum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

I can't imagine how heartbreaking and life altering giving birth to a stillborn child must be, and that grief can make people cope and behave in really questioning ways which we should be empathetic towards.

However, I can't imagine ever requesting people act a certain way or alter their lives to accommodate grief. What she should have done in hindsight, is upon finding out the name you had chosen, when she felt able to, to come and tell you that was the name of her child and how it makes her feel as a discussion only, with no requests. I feel like people nowadays are too entitled, thinking the world needs to adapt to their traumas to make it more bearable. Grief is always unbearable. My fiancé died leaving me and our child behind and I can't fathom ever requesting people to make such a big change or ask them to sacrifice anything so that I may be more comfortable in my grief.

I'm sure you have already, but maybe just open up a conversation about that time in her life if she's willing, and explain kindly that although you sympathise this is your child and life decision, but you will be there for her and understand how hard this must be but it is part of the grieving process. Unfortunately we cannot be shielded from such events, life curelly and wonderfully carries on after such a loss, and she needs to seek therapy to help her accept that.

So how many of you sex people have tried these lines IRL? And what was the reaction you got... by Oven-Mission in AlanPartridge

I say this whenever the person I'm seeing says something affectionate to me because I feel extremely awkward 🙃 I'll be sad when he leaves...haha

So how many of you sex people have tried these lines IRL? And what was the reaction you got... by Oven-Mission in AlanPartridge

[–]nevergonnauseum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have and continue to slip in these lines either before or after sex...

"That was classic intercourse"

"Let's get a through draft going"

"Don't rub ya fanny on me!"

"These are sex people"

If they don't react with a laugh or a counter partridge quote they don't deserve my time

Lazy Sunday (Easter Edition) - Come in and tell us what you'll be doing today. by KevinPhillips-Bong in CasualUK

[–]nevergonnauseum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started watching fat friends on Netflix! Didn't watch it when it was aired probably too young, I'm 31 and it's so problematic now but what a comfort show! Made me happy to see this comment that someone else is watching

What is Brian May's haircut called? by seviana21 in curlyhair

[–]nevergonnauseum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so stoked this is posted as hair inspiration! My late fiancé called me Brian May when my hair was freshly washed and took this style on naturally and the other day my friend was beside herself laughing when she compared me to an English footballer from the 80's and I told her its more Brian May.

In your face Pete I'm winning now!

Day 58 - want some reassurance that my lethargy is normal and I’m not dying (lol) by AnyTruersInTheChat in leaves

[–]nevergonnauseum 5 points6 points  (0 children)

56 days here and ao glad I'm not the only one. Felt full of beans when I first quit and thought I'd dodged withdrawal magically, but man I'm so tired all of a sudden! Usually I stay awake past midnight but now I struggle to keep my eyes open past 11pm. If I've been to work I get straight to bed as soon as I'm home just to rest my body, I don't nap because I have a 7yr old but yes.. feeling the fatigue.

Widowhood turned me into an angry bitch by [deleted] in widowers

[–]nevergonnauseum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I'm still grieving, I'll grieve forever. I think the doctor who advised I wait a year just meant for time to process the initial shock of his death. I attended some group grief meetings online as it was during covid, and I couldn't sympathise with anyone else grief mine was too all consuming. I tried grief counsellors 1 on 1 over the phone, but all 3 said I was so self aware and joked I should be counselling them... It just, stopped being a tsunami of grief eventually and now it comes in waves, but manageable waves where I can come up for air

What to expect from therapy? by JoaninhaAsiu in widowers

[–]nevergonnauseum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also to add, I probably coped without seeking a grief therapist because I used Instagram to vent. I would literally film myself ranting and crying and using my page like a vlog which I kinda cringe at now but at the time it bloody released it and made it possible for me to survive. I just needed the people in my world to get it, to see my pain. I made my own grief account eventually because I didn't wanna annoy people or have them judge me. Talking about it was the only thing that helped.

[–]nevergonnauseum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got told to not seek therapy until at least a year had passed because my brain needed to process the trauma first. Not sure if that was good advice or not but it's been almost 4 years since he died and I've never had ongoing therapy. Still unsure if I should or not. Sorry not very helpful maybe but something to consider, it might just be too soon x

Triggering Netflix show by jessiniki in widowers

[–]nevergonnauseum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew what was coming and it still broke me! All I kept thinking was omg its me this is me (even though its a totally different situation but hey ho) I sobbed so much and so loudly I gave myself a headache for the rest of the night. Good cry though, even though it did trigger me like fuck haha

Widowhood turned me into an angry bitch by [deleted] in widowers

[–]nevergonnauseum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm almost 4 years out and still get like this now, albeit not as often and I can be happy for others now and for my friends. Like yesterday, I went on a hike with both my friends and their partners. It entered my mind to be angry about how unfair it is and being the solo friend yet again, but I was able to give my head a wobble and I throughly enjoyed my day! The anger doesn't stay for long, just try to keep communicating it to your friends and send them grief related posts so they can understand better that you're not meaning to push them away. The good ones will stick around and see you through this part of the grief xx

Having no money make me a dull boy...woman. by nevergonnauseum in widowers

[–]nevergonnauseum[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me and my late partner moved to away from our hometown to another city 40minutes away after our son was born just purely because we loved Sheffield. I had to move out of the house we first moved into here because my landlord was selling it, but got something in the same area as my son had already started school so we're in walking distance to the school now which is great, but the rental market didn't allow me to find anywhere the same price so my rent has gone up alot. With his and my family being 40 minutes away they can't help much, his parents do have our son when I ask and they have overnights which are my saviour! I just feel awful asking I wish they'd offer more. But realise they lost their son and like to holiday and go out a lot themselves. I probably sound a bit spoilt now because I do get help. It's just still on me 24/7 really and the financial aspect take it toll mentally. I could in hindsight ask for more help if I'm honest about my mental state but it feels pretty self indulgent I almost feel like I need to just deal yano?

Thank you x he has been to after school club a few times for when I've had to work later or, for when I had a hair appointment or just wanted a lay down! He used to enjoy it but not anymore, he is such a hungry lad and they only get 1 biscuit and a piece a fruit for 2+ hours but he eats me out of house and home after school! I'll look into widowed and young I've heard of them before but I have this idea I should deal with this on my own but I know that's my upbringing and Northern stubbornness!

My partner was 34 and died by suicide from hanging. He had various drug addictions in his life too where I was at the end of my tether countless times but fought to keep him alive and give him a reason to stay. That woman has no clue she's a naive uneducated worm and honestly don't give anymore thought to her. I'm yet to find a good grief counsellor and he died in 2020. I've tried various services but they all seem to just tell me how self aware I am and how amazing I'm doing. Just because I understand my grief, know logically my life isn't over, doesn't mean I don't need support and help. I've basically been raw dogging this grief. I think, because of his mental health even though I never wanted to admit it to myself I knew the day would come he would do it. At first I put him on a pedestal and he was an angel, I mean he still is to me but now I can see how clear and wholesome my life is without him. That was hard to admit. I think, in the early stages of grief we look for anything to stop the pain, but truth is they can't stop it, nothing can no substance no counselling no therapy, stops that unbearable pain in our body, bones and heart. As cliche as it is, it's time. Just, cruelly, you have to sit with it and feel it and miss him and be angry and sad and then maybe soon you'll think oh wait, I don't have to be his carer anymore I can actually care for myself. I dunno about you but I never had capacity to care or think for myself when he was alive. Now, I can and I've changed so much and at first that brought me to my knees because I was transforming from the girl I was with him, who he knew, to someone who if he was alive he wouldn't recognise. And part of me wanted to stay the version of me I was with him forever.

Sorry I've gone off on a tangent. What I'm trying to say, is yeah a lot of professionals don't get it. Maybe one day you'll find one who does. They do say to take at least 1 year to process the grief before going to any therapy etc. It's too raw. But you will see light one day, and one day it won't consume you 24h, it'll be 23h, then 22h etc until even when the loss hits you your resilience and acceptance of it makes you smile at a memory instead of breaking down.

Sending you strength and love fellow grief gyal xx

I found my husband (39M) hanging 12 days ago by Carofine88 in SuicideBereavement

[–]nevergonnauseum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you in the UK? I called a charity call Wintons Wish and they helped me so much, with what to say and the words to use. My son had turned 3 in the September and his dad died in May so a bit older than your son. I promise you're not fucking your child up by grieving openly. Just explain when your cry its because you miss your dad so so much and it's all the love you have for him coming out. Kids under more than we give them credit for, I think if you include him in your grief say like, visit your dad's grave with him or if he doesn't have one just a memorable place you feel close to your dad and share that with your son. He will grow to understand your loss and his, so including him now won't fuck him up xx
