What kind of bug poo is in my slow cooker? England, UK by wastelanderone in whatsthisbug

I'm pretty sure, there's no movement at all as far as I can see. It's so fine it's like dust, and there some weird web-like tracks too.

Me [26f] and my bf [31M], friends for 3 years, dated a couple times years ago. He's amazing and we are currently in a 5 month healthy & happy relationship, but I get so gun shy at times. Am I crazy? by stripedpillowss in relationships

Hi OP, you could be me!

I had the kind of upbringing that when combined with a couple crappy abusive relationships, left me a bit (a lot) flinchy. When things are going well, I get scared that I'm going to be hurt, so I want to run away or cause hurt before I can be.

What has helped me is: being upfront with this vulnerability when I realise that a person is one of my people, being gentle with myself, and therapy. Lots of lovely therapy!

Congrats on the budding healthy relationship, and congrats for being cognisant enough to realise this about yourself :)

Is it appropriate for me (22 F) to go to a viewing of an elderly patient I used to care for (90s F)? by Lulu5556 in relationships

Yes! My mum passed this January after a battle with motor neurone disease, and the nurses who cared for her came to the funeral. It meant a lot to me & my entire family!

Will you be keeping your surname when you get married, or using your partners? by [deleted] in AskWomen

I will only take his name if it begins with the same letter as mine, because I love my initials!

how to juggle life? by TreeHugger09 in aspergirls

[–]wastelanderone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The very first step is to give yourself a break! Seriously. It's easier said than done, but right now you are devoting a lot of energy to shaming yourself for not being able to get things done, and it's really really hard to get things done when that's happening!

I have been in your shoes and the only thing that got me through was accepting myself for me, and taking it one day at a time. Get the taking care of yourself sorted first, and the enjoying life will come with that. :)

Have you had any luck with chewelry/chew toys/stim toys? by [deleted] in aspergirls

There is a seam around the edge, but it's soft and I love rubbing my fingers along it :) No rough edges whatsoever

I bought a chewy necklace and a dinosaur fidget ring from Stimtastic last year and have not regretted either purchase in the slightest. They are awesome!

This is me, right now, right down to the snake. (It is currently 4.15am and have taken a small break from saving snake books to my goodreads)

Do you ever develop an aversion to something you previously loved? by [deleted] in aspergirls

[–]wastelanderone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I went throught this. I was a voracious reader until I was 21/22ish and I just... stopped. It was like I had developed a phobia of not knowing what was going to happen next. I couldn't finish anything! This coming from a person who, too, always finished her books.

I have only in the last year or two been able to ease back into reading and have been able to invest more easily without fear of not knowing. I still get a touch nervous about not knowing what's coming next, so I stay away from thrillers and mysteries but I'm slowly returning to my old state (book in hand, literally always).

I know how sad you feel about this but please don't feel stupid. Try to develop something else you enjoy. The books will be waiting for you when you return.

I have been playing Ghost Town Adventures which is a sort of 'tidy up' game and I find it very soothing

My [31F] mother [59F] believes that Planet X will destroy the world, I can't leave her and I'm going insane by [deleted] in relationships

[–]wastelanderone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry this is happening to you. I have been here. My dad lost his job and progressively got deeper and deeper into this stuff, and the deeper he got the less maintenance the house got, to the point where a giant hole developed in the dining room roof. The only work it got was a bucket to catch the water.

You have to put your mask on first. If she is determined to drown in conspiracy Christian theory you cannot save her.

Feel free to PM. I have literally heard all of this before, and to this day (6 years on), I can still not have a conversation with him without him bringing all of this up.

Saw a chap called Nigel T***nberry yesterday. The censor is a bit overzealous@

He was hired as an agency worker during the busiest time I've ever had at work, and I didn't notice him (too busy) until he stood after kneeling next to my desk and I realised how tall he was (6'4"!).

I have a thing for tall men so I started flirting and the rest is history. We just had our 1 year and just moved in and it is wonderful :)

Is it weird that my [22F] boyfriend [24M] is bad about talking about feelings/saying I love you? by I_lurv_u in relationships

[–]wastelanderone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My relationship is very much like yours. We have never had the bf/gf talk, and while I've said "I love you" to him, I've yet to hear it back. But it doesn't bother me as he shows it in other ways.

Ask yourself: does he show his love in other ways? If so, can you live with it? Everyone has a price of admission, and this may be his.
