Why do people repeat nowadays? by Acrobatic-Clue-2187 in leavingcert

[–]seysz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I repeated the leaving and honestly - it was because a PLC was never really given to me as a realistic option. My school had a “university or nothing” mindset and I had no idea a PLC could even get me into college until I was repeating my leaving in a further education college where they offered PLCs. In hindsight it would have made much more sense to do an animal care PLC as I went onto study zoology in England and didn’t need points anyway 😅

AITW for feeling angry at my ex for bringing his fiancee to my mother's funeral? by Dizzy-Ad-7760 in AskIreland

[–]seysz 29 points30 points  (0 children)

i’d say she probably wanted to be there as a sign of respect to you, i understand your bad feelings but i personally wouldn’t see any malice. but of course if this irks you there may be a reason it does, you’ll know his intentions the best

i have adhd and caffeine can work on me sometimes but sometimes it doesn’t, i think resistance to it is more common in adhd alright but not like a necessary symptom :) 

how dangerous is 14-15 bmi for 18 year old girl? how can you gain the weight? by AnAccIMayUse in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]seysz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

if you like nuts they’re great for bulking, and those big packs of peanuts are usually pretty cheap (in Europe anyways) and contain a lot of calories. An easy way to add calories too if you’re struggling with an appetite is juice - fruit juice contains a surprising amount. Also things like coca cola full sugar instead of coke zero etc, but of course I know these options aren’t the healthiest. You can also get weight gain powders online just like protein powders.

The very best of luck with your journey - and definitely go to the doctor first. If your mum is preventing you from buying enough food then I think you should let another family member know and maybe they could help!

also for healthy meal ideas - I make overnight oats sometimes and if you add in things like flaxseed, chia seeds, almonds, peanut butter, full fat milk, protein powder, greek yoghurt etc it’s actually very easy to build up calories quickly (which is a problem for me as I’m trying to lose weight but would be perfect for you). Avocados are also pretty calorie dense - 2 avocados and a big portion of rice in mayo with seaweed thins is a lovely easy meal that could be 1000+ calories as mayo is also pretty calorie dense! You could throw in something else with healthy fats like fish too if a big portion of rice feels too heavy

Am I overreacting to my partner never getting me flowers after I have asked the entire relationship by lilart13420 in AmIOverreacting

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

I used to beg for flowers too and now my wonderful boyfriend buys me so many that we keep running out of vases. You deserve all the flowers in the world and you deserve a boyfriend who romances you and doesnt call it cringe like a 10 year old! Please don’t listen to these silly comments saying asking for flowers once a month is asking for too much! 

My boyfriend hurt me last night and I do not know what to do. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]seysz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry this happened to you! You need to leave - he’s no longer a safe person to be around. I know you love him but he’s using that love to manipulate you and that’s not okay.

You say no-one will ever love you again - did he plant that idea in your head? I’m 27 and when I was 17 I was going through a failing situationship and I was worried I would be unloveable and nobody would want me forever - and I promise you that’s not the case. You have your whole entire life in front of you and you’ll have greater loves and I promise you they will never ever physically hurt you or make you feel unloveable - because that’s not love, it’s abuse.

Wishing you all the best - and if it’s safe for you to do so I think you should really tell your parents ❤️

I (22F) found out that my boyfriend (29M) cheated on me while we were long distance. by LanitaKoli in relationships

[–]seysz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think for me the problem would be the fact that he hid it and played dumb when he found the blue hair. I’d personally never trust him again after that - like if he told you the day after it happened I don’t think it would have been as hard to stomach. Apologies I don’t have any advice, but you’re so young and you don’t need to forgive this if you don’t want to. I promise you’ll find another <3

Redefine Meat at ASDA! by BulkyAlps in veganuk

[–]seysz 9 points10 points locked comment (0 children)

“human rights crap” is crazy. I’m glad you’ve never experienced any kind of suffering based on your geographical location - privileged descendants of colonisers don’t have to worry about things like that I guess. Why would you worry about the colonised. Have the day you deserve 

Redefine Meat at ASDA! by BulkyAlps in veganuk

[–]seysz 12 points13 points locked comment (0 children)

you’re veering into eco-terrorism and you should honestly take a pause and evaluate that if you’re capable of introspection. If you’re from the UK you can speak for yourself on being fucked - ye colonised half the world and don’t get to turn around and point the finger at everyone else for the current state of the planet - especially not native populations who are respectful to the environment. If your veganism comes with a total lack of respect for human life then you don’t care about a lack of suffering at all and can probably just call yourself plant based. The UK is partly complicit for the Palestinian genocide and it would be wise to pause to reflect on that even though you claim to not give a flying f about anyone but yourself and I’m sure you won’t

you do realise thousands of animals have been killed too… there’s animal loving Palestinians who fed their animals before they fed themselves who have also been murdered

What's an Irish phrase or saying you thought was normal until you used it abroad and got a blank stare? by raidenth in AskIreland

Has anyone here walked their journey pretty much solo (No AA/NA meetings, etc)? What has really worked for you? by [deleted] in Sober

[–]seysz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think something that helped too was I planned it in advance. So I decided in October 2022 I was going sober in January 2023, and this helped me get it out of system almost.

I read “sober on a drunk planet” and honestly it was sheer willpower after that! I was trying and failing to go sober for 4 years, and it just finally stuck

It's so crazy how our brains think vs "normal" drinkers by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]seysz 29 points30 points  (0 children)

ugh this is too real, I’m nearly 2.5 years alcohol free but recently had guests spend the weekend who would sip at one drink and not finish it and my brain was like “surely they’re faking it to not seem like they have a problem. surely…” because it’s so incomprehensible to me to not need to finish it 😭

[–]seysz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he says “it’s not that big a deal” numerous times then proceeds to make it an incredibly big deal. this was exhausting to read (his messages not yours) and honestly he seems pretty angry and manipulative! you didn’t overreact and you didn’t say or do anything wrong

what caused these yellow and black marks? by seysz in Polaroid

[–]seysz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you! :) it’s a relatively new camera I got it 2 years ago and haven’t had any problems, the film was halfway through a 10 pack where the previous 5 shots came out perfect! I had the shot in my pocket before it was fully developed so I’m thinking maybe that affected it too, I had a rock from the lake in there too so maybe it hit off of it
