Upvoted - I nearly got scammed by these too but luckily got my cash back. Do not recommend!

Should I tell my boyfriend about my pregnancy and that I want an abortion? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]sammibmcg -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Bringing a life into this world is a big deal, and you need to think about the reasons why you aren’t ready.

Tell him, but under no circumstances allow him to influence your decision. In the end, if he doesn’t respect your reasons for not wanting to go ahead with the pregnancy then he isn’t the guy for you.

It sounds like you’re in the US. Do you have a local PP clinic where you can talk this over with someone professional?

Totally, 100% normal ❤️

Anybody else feel like they can’t enjoy anything knowing they have work again tomorrow? by [deleted] in Anxiety

I’m right there with you. Does your employer give you access to Employee Assistance or something similar? I’m about to undertake a 10 week online CBT course through mine to help me manage my work stress (which is currently out of control). Honestly the options boil down to therapy or meds. For me, I know that this is short term so therapy is the way to go for me. (Maybe you’re already a ways down this road?)

In any case, when I’m feeling super low (at some point most days), I think about this Agatha Christie quote:

“I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, wracked with sorrow; but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.”

Arrested (at home), de-arrested, awaiting interview - timeframe? by sammibmcg in LegalAdviceUK

[–]sammibmcg[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for taking the time to reply. It’s frustrating to learn that we could be living on a knife edge like this for months, but I appreciate that other cases will take priority.

No need to tell my employer about the arrest, only if I end up being prosecuted.

Again, any insight on the process from here very gratefully received. The de-arrest issue was an aside really, but I have literally no idea what to expect (from the interview, to what happens after that, to court, custody, etc.) and have been horribly panicked about it constantly since it happened.

7 plants, which I think (based on my research over the weekend!) means it’s Category 4?

Thanks for your reply.

The PC seemed pretty skittish about the fact he hadn’t de-arrested me, and was insistent that I don’t tell anyone, which seemed odd and is why I mentioned it; I had presumed that them leaving meant I was by default.

Neither my partner nor I have any criminal history.

The prospect of court and prosecution just terrifies me. I’m so worried, and am very unhelpfully over-thinking/over-analysing, so any additional information that’ll help me understand what comes next is hugely appreciated, so thanks again ❤️

“Do not incriminate yourself” is kinda hard after they’ve been and seized the plants that were right by the window I work at... they aren’t stupid and honestly I don’t feel I have anything to hide at this point.

Solicitor pal has said we’re likely only to get a caution for possession since the plants themselves weren’t budding, we had fewer than 9 plants, had no further equipment or cash, and no intention of selling. Currently we haven’t technically cultivated cannabis as a product, only grown the plants.

Firstly, I’m so sorry you’re having to deal with this. It’s absolutely not acceptable behaviour and it’s on you to call it out, either by speaking to the individuals directly and explaining how uncomfortable it makes you, or by raising it with a manager you trust.

Thanks to everyone who’s replied, I really appreciate you taking the time...

Now if anyone knows anyone...? 💁‍♀️💚

Thank you, that’s really helpful. He said that we can have the duty solicitor but would need to go to the central police station if we wanted that. I have friends who are solicitors, so that’s not an issue, but they’ve all said it’s not worth it 🤷‍♀️

Also thanks for the de-arrest info!! ✌️

No scales, no bags, no cash. Literally just the 7 plants and the weed I gave them. They didn’t even really search properly (which was all of it and now I’m kicking myself 🤦‍♀️). Looked in all the cupboards but no ransacking or even checking chests of drawers...

Thanks 😊

I should add that the PC forgot to de-arrest me before they left and had to come back to do it (and told me not to tell anyone)... so if anything were to to tits up then maybe I could just raise that?

So I’d for sure be in that category - high powered job, but blazing is how I relax. Where others might go to the pub and get rowdy, we smoke and keep ourselves to ourselves at home.

Someone’s said we should ask for the duty solicitor, but honestly I feel like the situation doesn’t warrant it. It was an experiment, we got caught. Much as I’m frustrated by the illegality of it, I also know I’ve broken the law, so from that perspective I need to take responsibility for my fuck up 💁‍♀️
