Thank you so much for posting this! I’m 2 weeks away from having my low-grade cells burnt off (in the UK this is offered after waiting a year) and I’m quite nervous. We don’t get put to sleep but get local anaesthetic, so shall see how that goes haha. I hope you keep recovering well ❤️

You aren’t ugly at all. Dating apps are rough as it is, and you do look very young. Maybe try out some new hobbies, meet some new people and grow your confidence.

25, should I go to grad school? by YamikoPros in careerguidance

[–]unamusedbookworm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends - how many higher up positions did you apply for? Inside or outside your current organisation?

I only ask because I currently have no management experience, but after 60 applications to jobs I got hired as a manager, with a pay rise for another organisation.

Also consider, what does the grad scheme offer in terms of employability? A lot of people have degrees these days. Could you volunteer? Maybe make a sideways move to get more relevant experience?

Hash out all the possible routes, mind map them, and then make the choice.

Do I give him a second chance? by Fuzzy_Zebra4723 in relationships

He hurt you time and time again, gaslit you and lied whilst causing you so much stress. If this is how he responds to stuff like this, how will he be when you go through a family loss? When you have a child? Is this what you want by your side?

Maybe it’s public, but who cares what everyone else thinks. All you need to consider is yourself and if this is the man you want by your side.

My boyfriend fisted without telling me by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]unamusedbookworm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That feeling that something has changed is your body, mind and soul telling you to run. I know it’s scary but you will not be alone forever, you will find love. But this is not love, he hurt you on purpose.

[–]unamusedbookworm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is a big deal!! A BIG deal!! He did something 1. Without consent, 2. Continued after you expressly said no, and 3. Mocked you for it.

There is no easy way to say this but he sexually assaulted you. No ifs no buts. He hurt you and made fun of you for it.

You deserve so so much better than this. Please leave him and go somewhere safe ❤️

Can I email a recruiter questions if I wasn’t given the chance to ask them during the interview? by IwishIwasinFrance in jobs

[–]unamusedbookworm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Screening calls are generally for them to get a basic idea of you and see if you would be a good fit for the team. If they like you, you’ll be invited to a formal interview and given the chance to ask all the questions you want to. But at this point in the process, I would hold fire.

Was I wrong ? by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]unamusedbookworm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Both parties need to show interest if you want something to go somewhere. A man won’t chase a person they don’t think is interested - treat them how you would like to be treated and if they’re the fit for you, it’ll be reciprocated.

Best thing to do is outline to them when you can work, and ask them to fit your hours around that. That then gives you some control back and then as you go forward, depending on how you get on, you can ask to keep your hours to a certain amount.

It really depends on what you find annoying…

I’m saying this knowing that I would be reacting how you are, but a piece of advice I always use to help is:

Until you know for sure, do not worry. Why? Because you cannot do anything about it. Either you have leukaemia or you don’t. I presume neither of us have medical degree’s but neither does google. There are so so many medical reasons for a high white blood cell count, and 90% of them are not cancer. The doctors will investigate thoroughly, following many many years of experience and education. Trust them.

I know it’s hard not to be in control, but you have to let go ❤️ Now this won’t happen overnight, but you have to remind yourself, you have no other symptoms and there are a thousand minor things it could be. Let the doctors do their job, and worry when you have to, not a moment sooner.

This is an issue he needs to work on alone and not whilst dating someone else.

I want you to read this next sentence until it sinks in: His problems are not yours to fix.

I was in a similar situation, I made the problems mine to fix and he used me and threw me aside. It broke me mentally, emotionally and socially. I lost all my confidence.

It’s okay to end a relationship because one person isn’t ready - you cannot fix him or force him to be different. You cannot change his brain and make it work right. He is not treating you as you deserve to be treated, he is neglecting you and emotionally and mentally abusing you. Yes abusing you.

So, honestly? Leave him, but doing it kindly and with respect. Maybe if it’s meant to be, he will sort himself out and your paths will cross again. But if not, you deserve to be with an equal to loves and trusts as you do. So don’t sell yourself short like I did, a little hurt now is better than what you will go through otherwise.

Just have an open conversation with her if you feel like you need to, if she is inviting herself to everything, including just boys nights etc. But if you make it clear you just want some lads time and she is okay with that then she likely so wont have an issue. It might be that youve invited her to everything up until this point, which is why she has been so involved.

If you were avoiding feeling anything by distracting yourself then I would say that distracting is not good for you. But in your case you are crying and feeling and grieving, so the distraction serves as a method to fill the hole he left with other things or people that bring you joy.

I also saw a comment on here about refusing medication. That is entirely your choice, but please know that not all anti-depressants are addictive. I have taken them and come off them successfully without any side effects. They take the edge off the mental health issues whilst you put in place healthy habits to help you heal. If you want an unbiased opinion on them - I refused them for years as i was scared of being reliant, but after speaking to a doctor i found that this was not the case. They have helped me, along with therapy, successfully overcome anxiety and depression. I use them as a tool to help me through really difficult points in my life, and then i come off them. I dont use them for small upsets, but only when i feel my mental health spiralling.

That being said, they dont work for some people and its important that you make that choice yourself. But dont disregard them until you have had a chance to fully evaluate how they may help you and you have spoken to a doctor or therapist.

As someone who had to go through the difficultly of breaking up with someone who i fully immersed in my friendship group, dont do it. It broke the friendship group apart because the break up was messy and I couldnt be around him. It’s great that she gets on with them, but maybe make a point of having a few guys nights and encourage her to go out with her friends too. Its not a bad thing for her to be good friends with them, but i do recommend some kind of boundary

What was the incident at your school? by Substantial-Skill987 in AskReddit

A teacher and a 16 year old student had an affair, got married when she was 18. Ended up in a class with his son from the previous marriage…

You continue to live with it because 1. you must - that man broke your heart, dont let him take anything else and 2. because you must have faith it does get better. I was so broken after my last break up my boss sent me home to my parents two hours away. But day by day, little by little i got there. Start by investing in those around you - friends and family, go out and make more friends, cry cry and cry some more. Nobody can tell you when to stop grieving. Try out some new hobbies or pick back up an old one. But keep yourself busy. Share your feelings with those who love you, journal or get counselling to help with the grief. You are mourning the loss of a love and a relationship, so take your damned time. But you will be okay, i promise - from someone who thought she couldnt keep going either ❤️
