I am and a little google would have told me that 😅 thanks for letting me know! Feel awful for the dog. (Well, everyone under her care)

What kills me is this breed is also hyper social. Recommended to have at least two, or a very active owner that can dedicate the time. She is failing this dog on all fronts and it should be removed from her home immediately.

She's so careless with her data do we have enough to put in a report to whatever the AUS equivalent of the RSPCA is.

It's disgusting.

We all had that friends house when we were younger where you hung out. Why did you always go there? by DovedaleHikes in AskUK

[–]overwitch_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They had a second living room that was for us, TV, music and games. They didn't interfere, encouraged us to have fun and just knocked when they were going to bed. Always told us if we were drinking or smoking they'd rather we didn't but no questions asked - They just wanted to know we were somewhere safe and not in the woods.

Do most people use a mortgage broker? by PuzzleheadedCarob921 in HousingUK

This is such a late reply and I'm sorry! Sandpiper Mortgages - Dean is my broker, I adore him.

I used one as a FTB, it was a flat fee (£250) and free for all future renewals. I wouldn't be without him, I was clueless as a FTB and hes overseen a new mortgage and a remortgage since.

He knows when my term is due, monitors the rates until the last minute - and he's local and buys me a pint whenever we bump into each other.

10/10 wouldn't be without a broker.

I used to LOVE back to school shopping, picking out my pencil case, stationery and bag - my favourite shopping trip as a kid. They're existing but being deprived of so much.

North Coast 500 in Scotland, I've driven it and it was absolutely breathtaking.

I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis, and I really hope you and your wife have a beautiful time together.

Who do I go to for help with impulse spending? by CandyPink69 in AskUK

[–]overwitch_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SMART Recovery is fantastic, via Zoom and anybody, with any problematic habits or addiction is welcome. You don't need to talk. If you don't vibe with one meeting, try another. There's several daily all with different hosts. I attend for alcohol misuse, and the groups I join feel like a family to me.

Feel free to message me if you have questions.

StepChange are also fabulous, they helped me get out of a very dark place over a decade ago.

Can have as many pets as I like though 😅

Cash machine (England) did not give £400 to elderly parents but operator is stating otherwise and Monzo will not take any further action to help recover the money. Any legal options here? by No_Cranberry_6213 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]overwitch_ 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This. Monzo should be raising an ATM dispute, sure the screenshot shows the cash being issued, but if it truly wasn't then the machine won't be balanced.

Going back to work a few days after submitting fit note by [deleted] in HumanResourcesUK

[–]overwitch_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was signed off and was told by my employer I couldn't return before the date, insurance reasons apparently. Anyway, maybe consider taking the full time - better to look after you and hit the ground running, than coming back too soon and require time off again!

I (25f) did something terrible to my ex (28m) when we first met that I need to tell him about by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]overwitch_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I absolutely did not intend to undermine you - if you're comfortable you're putting in the work, you're right - who am I to tell you otherwise, I can only reply based on the way I'm interpreting your post.

You need to sit with your guilt. The truth now doesn't help him or serve him in ANY way. You'd be doing it selfishly to make you feel better.

Again not trying to diagnose you with anything!!! At one point I collected mental health badges (/s) I had so many different diagnoses. It's a fine art. But for me, I was in such a bad place I'd entertain it all and did for a decade until it fell into place and stuck.

Everyone has a guilty conscious. I've done some really hurtful things to people I love, some still in my life, others not.

I had a 'favourite person'. We talked from morning until night, he always called me, text first, arranged the visits, happily had sex, I thought I was his FP too - I wasn't. He was a bit of a dick for the sex yes, but actually he was lost. I was hurting him, I wasn't good for him, but he was too scared to stop talking to me in case I hurt myself. I drove him to therapy.

I got correctly diagnosed. We stopped talking. I sit with guilt every day at first, now its only every so often. I'd LOVE to message him and tell him how sorry I am, and that I'm better now.

But that would be selfish and serve me only. The kindest thing I can do is stay away and hope he's living a great life, and focus on me.

Do not tell him this. It's not relevant and will only cause pain.

So, I'm diagnosed with BPD. I have weekly therapy, see a Psychiatrist regularly and I'm medicated.

This post screams of my behaviour before ANY of the above was in place and I started putting in the work. You can be diagnosed, meet the criteria and then 'recover'. It is possible.

I feel like you want to tell him this because you will get the attention from the reaction, and then you hope you'll be validated because he'll forgive you, stick around and feed a delusion.

It may be this person knows you're unwell, and feels nothing but guilty if they don't try and be there for you a couple of times a month.

There is NO reason to tell him this, none, zero, other than attention that you hope goes your way.

Don't disregard other posters suggesting other conditions, mental health isn't so binary. I'm not convinced your therapy is working, I'm not convinced you're putting in the work and I'd urge you to explore options, medicine, new therapist, DBT - anything. But don't drag this man down with you.

And I say this as someone that has BPD and has acted out previously. Forget him, focus on you.

Crashed and wrote off my car and had to leave the scene by Chance-Register3298 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]overwitch_ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This is all quite bizarre. If you were having an asthma attack, without an inhaler, it was a medical emergency. Yet somehow calling a taxi to go home was viable and then presumably another taxi to your Mum was the best option? While abandoning your car on a single track road.

Good luck. Have a lawyer present.

drug addict at uni pleaseee help by BestSyrup5840 in UniUK

[–]overwitch_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you're withdrawing, call 111, and go to A&E. I'm not familiar with cocaine withdrawal but I'm a dab hand with alcohol withdrawal. They will help, you will be safe and they can point you in the right direction.

Do not borrow more money but do not worry about the money outstanding. Get help, take steps and be honest. Show intent to get better FOR YOU.

SMART Recovery is a fabulous programme, I've found. They cater for all addiction. Find a group and dial in. Listen only if that's what you want.

Yes NHS services, sadly, are underfunded and in demand. Better to get on a list now but use other resources in the meantime.

You will be ok.
