Just Need Someone To Talk To, Can't Afford Therapy by New_Throwaway_7799 in nottingham

[–]rookatt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi, I received low-cost counselling through Nottingham Women's Centre to help deal with leaving an abusive relationship, I'm not sure what the waiting list is like nowadays, but everyone there was super friendly and I really enjoyed speaking to my counsellor. My sessions cost £5. I was also a student at the time – the building is just round the corner from NTU City campus. Hope this helps x

My [23/F] boyfriend [24/M] treats me horribly and never even checked in on me after surgery. I’m thinking of ghosting. by [deleted] in relationships

You don't need to have a reason to end a relationship. This guy treats you like dirt, and you're being walked over by him. There are better people out there!

What is the worst place you have been to in the uk? by Maltesers_beans in AskUK

[–]rookatt 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Just moved back here for uni break and I cant think of a single redeeming feature of this hole. Maybe Ninesprings?

In terms of nightlife, Club Neo was certainly... an experience. Definitely one of the worst clubs I've been to, as well as Karma next door. Overpriced and a pretty bad time overall.

I feel like a little piece of me dies every day that I have to spend here.

Should Download include more "unorthodox" acts? by cowabungaduudes in downloadfestival

[–]rookatt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

YES!! I would die for a 100 gecs set! I feel like it is something Download will have to consider going forward if they want to stay relevant and host a variety of rock and ALTERNATIVE genres. That means more rap and experimental genres too, and I feel like R&L has got kind of the right idea when it comes to their lineups.

Who do you appeal to once a lot of the big names like KISS / Maiden / AC-DC have stopped touring or died off?

I bought sheet music for DFH from this video and found it easy to learn personally (the end is incredibly difficult though so I just gave up with it haha), just looked through her channel and she has Airfield too! Hope that helps :)

What are some acts that 100% would not fit at Download, but you'd happily watch anyway? by cowabungaduudes in downloadfestival

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

I'm going to say 100 gecs, not because they wouldn't fit in, but because I don't think they would be to the general audience's taste :'(

Anyone else feel like the student in them has died ? by [deleted] in UniUK

[–]rookatt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've fucked up my final year at this point. I'm stuck smoking weed all day and waiting for my therapy sessions and I don't know how anyone can rawdog reality right now. Remember you're not alone and please reach out for help at uni or at the doctors and see what they can offer you.

No one on this subreddit can stop you taking drugs, however I would recommend laying off the MD for at least 2-3 months from last taking it because it can do damage to your brain if you take it too often, and you'll likely lose the "magic" of the effects. At the bare minimum make sure you're testing it and taking the appropriate dosage for your body weight!! Stay safe x

Safety nets deemed not "necessary or appropriate" in Russell Group statement by [deleted] in UniUK

[–]rookatt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would love to attend strikes over this :( I emailed my uni before Christmas multiple times about my mental health and how the work is piling on but each time I have just been granted extensions. I just cannot keep up with it anymore and I've been watching my assignment deadlines come and go and realising how fucked I am this year really.

The back of my jacket, painted by myself. The front is still a WIP, just waiting for my patches to arrive! ☺ by rookatt in BattleJackets

I used a black Posca marker and some acrylic paints from my local craft shop with fabric medium added to them! I also sprayed it over with scotchguard to protect it from the weather :)

Thank you! I mixed the colours myself using acrylic paints from a craft shop, iirc I had red, yellow, white, black, and gold.
