2023.06.03 12:22 MokinaKay The Power of Stories: Sharing Heartbreaks and Healing
Introduction: Unveiling the Journey of Heartbreaks and Healing
Heartbreak is a universal experience that transcends gender, age, and background. It is a deeply personal and emotional journey that often leaves us feeling lost, vulnerable, and in need of healing. In this remarkable article, we delve into the world of storytelling, specifically focusing on the narratives shared by women and girls regarding their experiences of heartbreak and the subsequent process of healing. These captivating stories are provocative, relatable to a wider audience, and inspire a powerful reaction to change.
The Art of Storytelling: Giving Voice to Heartbreaks
Stories have an inherent ability to connect individuals on a profound level. When women and girls share their heartbreak experiences through storytelling, they provide a platform for others to feel seen, understood, and validated. Through these narratives, we gain insights into the complexity of emotions that accompany heartbreak, as well as the unique paths to healing that each individual embarks upon.
1. Unveiling Vulnerability: The Strength in Sharing
Heartbreak can often leave individuals feeling isolated and alone. By sharing their stories, women and girls break through this isolation and embrace vulnerability as a source of strength. These narratives serve as a reminder that it's okay to feel pain, that we are not alone in our experiences, and that healing is possible.
2. Empowering Authenticity: Inspiring Change
When women and girls bravely share their stories, they inspire a powerful reaction to change. The authenticity and relatability of these narratives create a ripple effect, encouraging others to reflect on their own experiences and seek transformation. The collective power of these stories becomes a catalyst for personal growth, resilience, and positive change within society.
The Journey of Healing: Transforming Heartbreak into Strength
Healing is a complex and deeply personal process, unique to each individual. The stories shared by women and girls on their journey of healing shed light on the various paths one can take to find solace, growth, and empowerment.
1. Self-Rediscovery: Embracing Inner Strength
One common theme that emerges from these stories is the transformative power of self-rediscovery. Women and girls often embark on a journey of self-exploration, embracing their inner strength and rediscovering their true worth. Through introspection, therapy, creative outlets, or pursuing new passions, they reclaim their identities and find healing within themselves.
2. Supportive Networks: Finding Comfort in Community
In times of heartbreak, the importance of supportive networks cannot be overstated. Many women and girls find solace in the company of friends, family, or support groups who understand and empathize with their experiences. These communities provide a safe space for sharing, healing, and collective growth, reminding individuals that they are not alone on their journey.
3. Redefining Relationships: Learning from Heartbreak
Heartbreak can serve as a powerful teacher, guiding individuals toward healthier and more fulfilling relationships in the future. Women and girls often emerge from their heartbreak experiences with newfound wisdom, setting healthier boundaries, prioritizing self-care, and nurturing relationships that align with their values and aspirations.
Conclusion
Storytelling by women and girls about their experiences of heartbreak and healing is a remarkable and transformative endeavor. These narratives possess the power to provoke, resonate, and inspire change within a wider audience. By sharing their stories, women and girls bring heartbreak out of the shadows, offering hope, solace, and guidance to those navigating similar paths.

2023.06.03 12:22 OkReflection55 Final update and goodbye to this wonderful support group (in the best way possible) x
Well, I guess this is my final update before I delete my throwaway and go back to my normal shitposting. Before I give the final update I just want to express how invaluable this community has been. We are a diverse set of people who are caught in a very unique situation. It’s been some time since “D-day” and since I questioned every moral and ethical value I have. I am pleased to say that I now have a boyfriend out of this situation. A boyfriend that I can talk to and see whenever I want. A boyfriend that has acknowledged his faults in his previous marriage and is dealing with the consequences of the divorce proceedings. He has been wonderful and respected my decision to remain distanced from his marriage/financial/custody battle. I’ve made him “date me from scratch” and we are getting to know each other on an entirely new level. We even had a fight! I know that might sound like a strange thing to be excited about but it’s really not. He is starting to experience me 24/7 and get the “real me”. Not the beautiful, curated mistress that greets him at the door. I’m not saying this will work, it may very well not, but I’m excited at the prospect of giving this an authentic crack. Thank you again to this community. You’ve given me so much strength xxx
Interim update Well, after some NC and wonderful advice from my reddit family - we have gone legit! They have both engaged lawyers to start the divorce proceedings and divide the assets etc. They have done an intake for family mediation for custody arrangements. We have a wonderful dinner date booked for Friday and he is coming to spend the weekend (without secrecy!). Turns out all of my “very real” feelings were in fact real. He even told his family and they have cut him off and he is accepting of the consequences of his decisions. I’m still making him work for it. He needs to “date me” as a single man. I will update you all in a month or so. I’m very aware of what I am taking on and so is he. We are ready to give it a go. Thank you for the support x
Original post: It’s happened! DDay has arrived. Advice greatly appreciated.
He (34M) and I (30F) originally met at work approximately four years ago. I was attracted to him instantly and the feeling was certainly mutual. However I quickly found out he had a wife and three kids. Due to this, I wrote him off as a dating prospect. The thought of being the OW went against every moral fibre in my body. I have worked tirelessly to establish a successful career so I was also very conscious of the risk of workplace relationships in general. We slowly got to know each other over a year as just friends. We worked within different teams so whole-of-office work events was when we really got to know each other. One day we had work drinks and we shared a secret kiss. Oh. My. God. The sparks! Everything was so intense.
I have never been the OW before and the intensity of our connection terrified me so I ghosted him after that, unless it was work related, for around two years. Early this year, at another work event, we finally admitted our feelings. He was in the process of changing jobs so the workplace concerns were somewhat eased for me. He ended up lying to his wife about work meetings to come see me at my home 1-2 days a week. We went to concerts and bars together and we even had managed to go away for weekends. I had the most phenomenal, sensual and beautiful 5-6 months of my life. We would both frequently comment about how intense our connection was sexually and emotionally. We would have incredibly deep, raw conversations and absolutely incredible sex. We both became each others “go-to” for everything. He was extremely open about his family life and deteriorating marriage. I also respected that he never spoke poorly about his wife despite the relationship issues.
A few weeks ago he told me that his wife had discovered some messages between us when using his laptop. We decided to limit contact for a bit but she continued to deep dive (which I totally understand - I would as well). Well, she found all of our photos, videos, bank statements and emails about week ago. The fallout from this has been horrendous. She has attempted to contact me on social media (now deactivated) and told colleagues in my workplace of the affair. She has also told his entire family. On the day it happened he called me to tell me and said that we would have to end things so he could work on the marriage. I was very understanding and thanked him for our wonderful memories. He then reached out again shortly after saying that he couldn’t stand not having me in his life and retracted his wishes to end us. I didn’t agree or disagree. I just said that he needs to go sort his life out at home and we can discuss it later.
As of last night he has returned to their home after staying with his brother to discuss everything. While he is there he is basically on lockdown. We can’t communicate at all. He has acknowledged that he has an incredibly difficult decision to make and I have reassured him that if he needs to completely end our relationship I won’t be angry or upset but I will not continue to have him in my life as a friend. I wouldn’t be able to handle that. He was sad but understanding. I asked that he advise me as soon as possible of the decision so I am not just waiting around. Should I proactively set a timeframe within myself? How long is a fair time to wait? I’m so lost and need to prioritise myself and my happiness as well.
I’ve really tried to be as calm and as reassuring as possible for him as I want his decision to be carefully considered with minimal pressure or influence from me. What he doesn’t see is the devastated mess I am right now. The thought of not having him in my life makes me feel physically sick. I’m scared that if he chooses his wife I will be alone trying to recreate that connection with other people. Not being able to call or text him before bed is destroying me. I slept on the couch last night because the thought of going to bed without a call from him was heartbreaking. I even cried before because I saw his toothbrush when I got out of the shower (lame). I’ve opened up to a few trusting friends about the situation and they have been amazing but I don’t think they truly understand the confusion, pain and frustration.
This is such a unique situation and I am so glad I have found this group ❤️

2023.06.03 12:21 starfish2300 Advice for having an eating disorder plus other issues and not being able to get professional help?
Sorry that this is so long
I 19F have had an eating disorder for over 5 years now. The thing I struggle with the most is binge eating. I have been told I have both binge eating disorder and anorexia. My highest weight was around bmi 22 and lowest was bmi 15. I naturally fall into the 21-22 range. I binge around 2-4 days a week and they are normally around 4,000-7,000 calories.
I started binge eating at 14 and also had an excessive desire to lose weight. When I was 16 I lost a lot of weight because I started to struggle less with binge eating and went an entire two months without binge eating (this is a big deal for me). I never told anyone about this and my ED was only noticed by my family when I became underweight.
They tried to get professional help for me. I live in the UK so the healthcare is public and they tried to get help from an eating disorder service. The ED service told me that I weighed to much to get help from them. I had a bmi of 15 which was definitely unhealthy for me because I had been fully grown since I was 14. I was physically unwell with symptoms such as always being cold, insomnia, dizziness, my bones feeling weak, would constantly be thinking about food.
The ED service never gave me any actual help but they told my parents to put me on a meal plan to make me gain weight. At this point I was at my lowest weight but still struggling a bit with binge eating. My parents were very upset so I eventually agreed to it to make them happy. It only lasted 1 week before it made things a million times worse. My binge eating became worse than ever. I gained weight back to a bmi of 22. My mental health became worse than ever. I was extremely distressed all the time, lost all my friends, had to leave education, would almost never leave the house.
My parents then tried to get help for me from CAHMS (child and adolescent mental health service) and would call the doctors to try and get medication for me. Cahms just put me on a 2+ year waiting list and the doctors said they couldn't give me medication until I was 18 because I'm still a child. I was 17 then. Eventually someone from the ED service saw us for an appointment because my parents were desperately calling for help. This led to me being accepted into cahms.
I would see someone each week to check I was okay but I wouldn't get any actual treatment or specific help for what I was struggling with. I was still really struggling with binge eating and was very mentally unwell. They eventually agreed to put me on sertraline so I saw a psychiatrist for an appointment for that. This caused me to have a manic episode. I read that this often happens in people with undiagnosed bipolar disorder and bipolar runs in my family so I likely have that.
The psychiatrist saw me again because of that and took me off the medication. He also suggested that I have an ASD assessment. A few months earlier I came across some stuff online about Aspergers and it resonated with me so much, I didn't tell anyone about it though because I thought I was just making it up. I won't go into all the details about why I think I'm autistic but I have loads of quite subtle symptoms and have been showing symptoms of it my entire life. I have an autistic brother, a dad who probably has Aspergers and a cousin with diagnosed Aspergers.
I also think I probably have ADHD. I read online that binge eating disorder can be linked to ADHD.
I turned 18 and was no longer in cahms and now in the adult mental health services. However, they were very bad so I stopped going there. I would say my mental health started to improve a bit after I turned 18. I was no longer severely mentally ill like I was before. I got back into education and started to get my life back on track.
I'm now 19 and things are definitely looking up for me now. I'm back in education, have a new group of friends, I'm still anxious but no longer have severe anxiety. I still really struggle with binge eating though. It's destroying my life still. I can't really enjoy anything or ever have fun because of it. I can't wear any of the nice clothes I like, I struggle to have fun when I'm with my friends, I struggle to focus on studying. My entire life revolves around food. I have extreme urges to binge every day. I desperately want to lose weight and feel like I'll never be truly happy unless I get back down to my lowest weight. I've been called fat and chubby many times at a healthy weight so I can't accept myself being not underweight. It's torture and I'm honestly considering ending my life because of it.
I'm probably never going to be able to get professional help because public healthcare is terrible and private healthcare is too expensive. What advice do you have for me? How can I recover from my binge eating disorder?

2023.06.03 12:20 2seokdeeznuts13 Two Kakampinks walked into a café
Two Kakampinks walked into a café.
This was after they lost the elections, and they've recovered na from the hard-hitting reality. Mga one year later na 'to.
They were in 12th grade senior high when they chanted along with the pink crusade, now they're both in their first year of college. The first is taking up a course on secondary education, major in English; the second, business administration. Well, dahil unti-unti na silang nagiging busy sa kanya-kanya nilang buhay, minsan na lang sila magkita. That's why these two friends, when they found the time, arranged this date.
The café was a typical modern café. It was one of those minimalist-styled establishments na may maliit na blackboard sa labas with cute chalk doodles to highlight its business hours. The interiors were adorned with overhanging indoor plants. The wooden tables varnished to golden-brown shine. The walls were an of an aesthetic black, designed with white huge calligraphy of optimistic cliches nabbed online. The entire place had a yellow lighting, setting up the ambience, making the entire place worthy to be posted on Instagram.
Waiting naman the tables, is an apron-clad guy with a deep dimple and a bulging Adam's apple, who was handsome enough to be romanticized.
But the two Kakampinks didn't care for him, as they are in love to each of their boyfriend. That's characteristic of women. When they're in love with a guy, the other guys get ignored, no matter how handsome they are.
Anyway, there they were. Sitting side-by-side. In an intimate table for two, catching up with each other's lives, that is, chatting about that funny professor they've had, that campus event in their respective university, that latest episode of that Netflix show they watch, that one fond memory they keep recalling. There was noise, there was glee, there was laughter, there was whispering, and of course, as this was in a café nga, there was eating. Particularly the eating of a creamy carbonara; and of a mushroom soup; and of a red velvet cake; and of a frappe; and of other dishes and beverages and desserts that one has to take a picture of before eating it.
Well, the hours passed and the skies got darker. Without alcohol, they began to get drunk—drunk from the intimacy that only friendship can give. From the honesty that this drunkenness has granted them, things then began to get political, as one said to the other:
"I don't know if you feel it too pero I cringe about being a Kakampink."
This remark came from a train of thought that began with their discussion of the leftist initiatives they've heard in each of their campuses. To this, a reply:
"Oh my god, ikaw din?" with gleaming eyes, the other said. "I feel that too. Takot lang akong i-verbalize sa circle ko as that may be an unpopular opinion today. Ang binary na kasi ng lahat. Any anti-pink rhetoric can suddenly turn you into a pro-red apologist."
"Then, this is a good thing na we share the same sentiments. And I'm glad na it's with you, whom I can finally speak of this." she said, "you know, I keep seeing sa fb feed ko yung fb memories of the pink rallies. My friends keep resharing them ta's sasabihing the best era daw. Well, whenever I see shares like that, I feel this funny feeling of cringe. Primarily from my intellect."
"Same. Probably kasi, we used to belong in there?" she replied, "we used to be one of them, in that pink crusade."
"Probably."
"Pero, I guess, that's okay. A wise man once told me na cringing at your past self is one of the surest sign that you've progressed to maturity."
"I like that. Education through disillusionment." she said with an honest smile. And then, she asked: "well, what led you to your disillusionment?"
"I am not so sure." she said, "wala namang maling ginawa si Leni for me to stop supporting her—pero, i guess the disillusionment came from the closest Kakampink I know, namely my self."
"Yeah, what about your self?"
"I had this episode lang of being moved by the poverty of our people, while I was dining in an eat-all-you-can buffet," she said almost laughing at her self with cynicism, "The restaurant had glass walls, so kita mo yung labas, from the inside. Well, while I was eating nga, may madungis na batang pulubi na dumaan, holding his hand out to me, mouthing something at me. I know na nanghihingi siya ng limos. Pero, I just consciously ignored him, shoving a spoonful of rice na sinabawan ng kare-kare, straight in my mouth. After that epispde, I kept contemplating on the glass walls. Is that not what we're doing? Just the rich and the privileged looking through the glass wall that separates us from the hungry, while we eat and dine and have our fill?"
"You think we're one of the rich and the privileged?"
"Are we not? We think na mga pasistang pulitiko lang yung rich and privileged, yung may subdivision 'gaya ng mga Villar o yung may private jet 'gaya ng mga Marcos," she said, "pero, think about it: don't we belong there, too? As we enjoy all our iPhones Pro's? Our Aquaflask tumblers? Our eat-all-you-can buffets? Our boba teas?"
"Yes, I think we are," the other replied, "If that's how you would put it, we basically are."
"Well, yun," she explained, "I guess, that's the part that doesn't make sense to me. How can I claim to fight for the poor, join them in their plights, while at the same time, enjoy my self in such lavish comfort? I think that would be hypocrisy."
"I'm really glad we're having this conversation," she replied fondly. "cause what you said—it's so aligned with an idea that I've been thinking about since the pink era was over." she sipped from her milk tea, and then continued, "we both joined the rally 'di ba? And we both saw the people there. And we both saw na most of them had an iPhone. I was just thinking, in retrospect, na maybe, we're part of the oppression too?"
"What do you mean?"
"Where does the iPhone user get his prestige?"
"Well, as a user of one, I don't find my iPhone prestigious kasi I'm not that petty." she said, with a laughing pompousity. "pero i could honestly answer that, in behalf of those petty materialists. The prestige of the iPhone comes from the fact na mahal yun and not everyone could afford one."
"Exactly. And yung mga 'di maka-afford ng iPhone, will have to settle with an Android phone." the other remarked, "so the prestige of the iPhone users, is based on the poverty of the Android users. Now, you can apply that to any material object advertised as a social emblem of luxury. Gucci, Jordan shoes, Starbucks, even the Aquaflask tumbler. The prestige of having one, enjoying one, consuming one, is based on its expensiveness, on how Capitalism privileged it on a pedestal, and on the idea na not everyone could afford it."
"So the glory of the havings is based on the lacking of the having-not's"
"Wow, you've put that aptly in a nutshell." the other remarked excitedly, "and yes! That's about right. The reason why our ideas of luxury, prestige, and privilege exist is because of their lacking, their not having, and their poverty. We are rich because they are poor. That's why I posited na we may be part of their oppression, too."
"That indeed makes sense." the other replied, "that's probably why ide-Day ko ang Starbucks ko, kasi alam kong may maiinggit."
"Right." the other said, with a laughter, "You're getting the idea. Pero you're adding your own mean twist. But that's my point: we exist in a social pyramid of lower class, middle class, upper class, where each class is really stepping on the back of the one immediately lower to them to maintain the height they enjoy. Yung lower class yung pinaka-kawawa as two classes are above them. And in this case we're discussing, their oppression is through our idea of luxurious materialism and the prestige we attach to commodified objects."
"Kaya it won't make sense for us to say 'eat the rich' kasi that would mean we have to eat ourselves."
"Exactly." she said, "the pro-red apologist proud of his iPhone, is the same with the pro-pink proud of her iPhone. They're both from the same greed and gluttony, blinded by the same object fetishism espoused by Capitalism. That's why the Kakampink revolution is not really the revolution. It's a revolt against the dominant group of iPhone users, by just another group of iPhone users. A bourgeoisie revolution. And that does not change things, for as long as the same object fetishism exists, as long as the same ideals for luxury exists, as long as Capitalism's definition of what a self is exists—the true proletarian revolution will not happen. We simply replaced the rich with a new set of rich."
"Well, what should be done, then?"
"This may be corny, pero I'll say it anyway," she said, shyly, "what must be done is to follow what Christ said to the rich man: sell your possessions and give them to the poor."
"Yes," she remarked, in-between a laughter, "that is indeed corny."
"Yes," she agreed, and then explained: "pero i think it's the closest thing we have to achieve a truly equal, egalitarian paradise as this Christian advice encourages the complete abolition of self and private property by a complete and genuine charity to the entire community."
With a concerned look, the other then remarked, "And by that you mean, surrendering our iPhones, our Aquaflask tumblers, our eat-all-you-can buffets, our boba teas, our ideals of luxury, of vanity, of prestige— our spectacular self-images, right?"
"Yes."
"Well, that's too ideal." she said, scoffingly, "can you do that?"
"No, I can't," she admitted, with a secret despair, "maski ako, I can't give up those. I can't live without my iPhone, you know? Pero I guess, the important thing here is we have to be honest about that. Self-awareness is as important as social awareness. We have to see na not only are we inside Capitalism, but that Capitalism is also inside us. We are molded by the same greed, the same gluttony that shaped the fat, privileged capitalist we condemn." Then she adds: "kaya siguro i cringe at my past. i envisioned my naive activist-self as a holy hero in the pink crusade—that I was someone noble, fighting a just war. Pero, I can now see much clearer. I'm really just a noisy child with a silver spoon in her mouth, who knows nothing about poverty, and who happens to have read a thread on Twitter. A poser who could courageously scream 'eat the rich' but could not muster enough courage to 'feed the poor.' "
Emphatizing with the melancholia she just voiced out, the other replied, "That reminds me of a lyrics from a song: everybody wants to change the world, but nobody wants to die."
"Yeah, that's about it. That's so true," she said, realizing something. And then, she laughs it off, "grabe. we're on a different level of wokeness here."
"Kaya nga eh. Nagutom tuloy ako." the other assented, a change of mood then took place, "I'm craving for some Samgyup. May alam ka ba na nasa malapit lang?"
"Ay, meron. Walking distance lang from here," the other answered, "madalas kaming mag-date ng boyfriend ko do'n—tara, kain tayo."
They began to pack their things up, grabbing their shoulder bags, clutching their purses. As they walk out of the café, the bell chimes over the doorway signalled their departure. At this, the waiter then makes his move; he cleans up the mess they leave behind.
The two Kakampinks walking out of the café, will now head to that Samgyup resto, to eat and have their fill.

2023.06.03 12:16 ProofGas7800 My struggle with weight loss and body image
I am female, 19 years old. This is just a throwaway account because I really wanted to get this out of my chest. I have no one else to openly say this to without being told I am beautiful just the way I am or to just stop complaining because truly, or that I am fatphobic. But I don't feel beautiful as I am now.
Ever since I was born, I have always been overweight. It had been bringing my self-esteem lower and lower as I grew up. Although when I look back at my childhood photos and realize I wasn't obese, just a bit fat and curvy, my body image issues only got worse when I moved to a new country and new school. When I moved here, I ate a lot because of my Major Depressive Disorder as a coping mechanism. I went out with my family, ate all kinds of unhealthy foods. I binge eat whatever I can find when I am stressed and can't seem to control my urge to scarf down whatever. And within an year, I went from 69 kg (I used to be 78 kg but after I had my period for two months straight and got scolded by a doctor to lose weight, so I lost it just by drinking lots of water everyday) to 115 kg. And I hate myself for it, for not being careful, because I hate how I look. I hate my body, I don't want to be in this skin.
Every day in school, my hatred for myself only grows when I see all the other girls in my grade. With their skinny, fit bodies and the privileges that come with it, such as guys actually being attracted to them, they can wear bikinis or any swim suits, they can wear the clothes I wish I could wear. They can post on instagram with confidence, they can love them self and how beautiful they are. But all I can wear are oversized T-shirts to hide my big belly and jeans to keep my tummy at bay. (If only I have ways to hide my fat hips and triple chin too). Seeing all the other girls, all I can wish for is to have a body like them. I wish I can be as beautiful and desirable as them. I wish I can know what's it like to be attracted to by a guy and date them. But I ruined it all. It's all my fault and I am facing the consequences of my actions.
Around last year December, I went to a gynecologist because my period hasn't stopped since it started in November (it's still going on right now, meaning I had my period for 7 months). She told me I have polycystic ovary syndrome but she can't give me any contraceptives because I was too young, so I need to lose weight. She wanted me to see a nutritionist but I couldn't do that because my mom and dad didn't have enough money to support me. I tried and tried to get into a diet but it all gets ruined when I give in to my utge and have something unhealthy. I swam for a month straight but lost my motivation to continue when I saw no changes in my body. It's been months of trying and giving up and trying and giving up and I feel like I am going nowhere. I tried a few times to get into going to the gym but was only able to do so for a few days before it broke. I just went to the gym for the first time today for weight training, but it was hard I don't know if I can continue to do it. It only made me feel worse and more hopeless.
I feel hopeless. I feel like I will be stuck in this body forever, doomed to look at other people and wish I was as skinny and pretty as them. I've been feeling this way for so long yet I am desperate, so desperate that I have been begging my mom to get me contraception to get rid of my PCOS so I can lose weight easily,or get a gastric sleeve surgery. But of course, she said no.
I will be going to university soon, but I don't want to go like this. I want to go in a body that I am comfortable in, I want be beautiful and have the privilege to be attractive, to have an interesting lose life. I want to be happy. But I feel hopeless. I feel like I can't do this, and I never will ever get what I so wish for more than anything else.

2023.06.03 12:15 notsurenow00 AITA - Landlord in a difficult position (long)
Hey everyone, throwaway here. This is a long one - there’s a tldr at the bottom.
When I was a child, my father inherited a property (small 3 bed) in Dublin from his brother. For the past 20 years, there has been a tenant in the property - one woman & her son who is now 20. I sadly lost my father 3 years ago after a short and painful illness. It’s been a very traumatic time, not least due to the fact that we also lost our mother to cancer when we were kids. I have siblings and between us we shared in nursing our father and caring for him during his illness. During this time, my father explained to me that he would be leaving the property in Dublin to me to do with whatever I feel fit. He died, and I inherited the property.
Fast forward to January this year. I decided that next year I would like to move into the property with my partner, renovate it, and settle down. We’re both 30 and renting, and with the housing crisis coupled with the cost of living hikes making life planning a difficult reality for any young couple living in Ireland, this opportunity is obviously a saving grace for us. So I respectfully and delicately approached the tenant and sat down with her to explain that I would be issuing her an eviction notice, that I would give her a year to vacate her home, and that I would support her in any way I can helping her find somewhere new to live. She was sad, but said that she understood and that my father had already prepared her for this eventuality. She submitted the eviction notice to the RTB and to HAP, and she is to move out next January.
The tenant is on the HAP scheme and she is waiting to be housed by Dublin City Council. She’s been on the waiting list for 14 years and since receiving her eviction notice she has been placed on a priority list. She has not looked after the property well, her son causes a lot of damage to the doors and walls and they don’t maintain the garden - letting it grow over with weeds and thorn bushes despite me having it properly landscaped and providing a lawnmower. I have checked in with her a couple of times since issuing the notice to see where she is at with her housing application and whether she has had any updates from the council on her position as a priority candidate to be housed. Both times she responded that she has had no updates but that she will be happy to move to any property that I move her to. I of course do not have any other properties. Until now, I have been renting my whole life. She seems to think that I am going to house her, despite me clarifying more than once that I am not in a position to do so. So it’s been a frustrating relationship for me to maintain, but I am patient and understand that her circumstances are not ideal.
Last week, the tenant texted to enquire about sourcing her a bed to put into the converted garage that is being used as private storage (the property is on a shared lease because dad had another tenant at one point). 5 more members of her family are moving to Ireland and she wants to accommodate them for the rest of her time at the property. I responded, declining the request, explaining to her that there is an eviction notice in place and I want to ensure that it’s followed through without any difficulty. I explained that 5 extra people in the house would render it overcrowded and therefore uninsured, and that her rent doesn’t cover this amount of people, so her HAP payments may be effected. This is where the trouble begins.
She has since become much more difficult and unpleasant to deal with. She has been rude about my parents, telling me that she wishes they were still around, as if to compare me to them. She got her son to call me to try convince me to fold, that it’s family and I should want to help family. He began insulting me over the phone, telling me I’m useless, that I’m being stubborn and selfish. I remain calm, citing the lease, the insurance and the eviction notice as my reasons for being unable to help her. She continues to harass me, won’t take no for an answer. She wrote a very long message yesterday “begging” me not to ruin her final memories in the home and imploring me to allow her to accommodate her 5 family members as they have nowhere else to go in Ireland and that they need a base as they wait to be homed. She says that she and her whole family will move out in January, that I don’t have to worry about that and that I should find it in my heart to allow her some happy final memories with her family in her home. But I’m worried that if she’s struggling to be housed while it’s just herself and her son, then it will be even more difficult to be housed as a group of 7. I think she shouldn’t move her family to Ireland at this time and that it’s irresponsible of her to put them in this position (I haven’t said that to her, I don’t think it’s my place to).
I am not an experienced landlord, nor had I ever intended on becoming a landlord. This whole situation has been extremely stressful for me as we wait patiently to start our life together in this house. I’ve heard some pretty bad stories about the struggles other landlords have endured in trying to successfully evict tenants, understandably. The RTB have been supportive and helpful in advising me how to handle this but this is new territory for me and it’s really tearing me apart to think that I might put this family at risk of homelessness. But I can’t risk not having a home to move into myself next year.
I’m not sharing this story to incite hate or prompt angry discussion against any demographic subgroups. I understand that as a country we benefit in many ways from having a diverse population and I don’t want to undermine that hard fact. I also understand that I am fortunate in many ways to have inherited a property during a housing crisis. I am interested to hear what people think about this, whether I am doing an okay job at handling it, whether I am perhaps being overly privileged in taking advantage of my position as landlord, whether I am taking enough action to prevent this potentially becoming more complicated. So, AITA?
TLDR: I inherited a house from my Dad 3 years ago. There is a long term tenant in the house with her son. I’ve issued an eviction notice of 12 months. She now wants to move 5 family members into the house as they have nowhere else to go. I’ve said no, she won’t take no for an answer.

2023.06.03 12:07 starfish2300 Advice for having an eating disorder plus other issues and not being able to get professional help?
Sorry that this is so long
I 19F have had an eating disorder for over 5 years now. The thing I struggle with the most is binge eating. I have been told I have both binge eating disorder and anorexia. My highest weight was around bmi 22 and lowest was bmi 15. I naturally fall into the 21-22 range. I binge around 2-4 days a week and they are normally around 4,000-7,000 calories.
I started binge eating at 14 and also had an excessive desire to lose weight. When I was 16 I lost a lot of weight because I started to struggle less with binge eating and went an entire two months without binge eating (this is a big deal for me). I never told anyone about this and my ED was only noticed by my family when I became underweight.
They tried to get professional help for me. I live in the UK so the healthcare is public and they tried to get help from an eating disorder service. The ED service told me that I weighed to much to get help from them. I had a bmi of 15 which was definitely unhealthy for me because I had been fully grown since I was 14. I was physically unwell with symptoms such as always being cold, insomnia, dizziness, my bones feeling weak, would constantly be thinking about food.
The ED service never gave me any actual help but they told my parents to put me on a meal plan to make me gain weight. At this point I was at my lowest weight but still struggling a bit with binge eating. My parents were very upset so I eventually agreed to it to make them happy. It only lasted 1 week before it made things a million times worse. My binge eating became worse than ever. I gained weight back to a bmi of 22. My mental health became worse than ever. I was extremely distressed all the time, lost all my friends, had to leave education, would almost never leave the house.
My parents then tried to get help for me from CAHMS (child and adolescent mental health service) and would call the doctors to try and get medication for me. Cahms just put me on a 2+ year waiting list and the doctors said they couldn't give me medication until I was 18 because I'm still a child. I was 17 then. Eventually someone from the ED service saw us for an appointment because my parents were desperately calling for help. This led to me being accepted into cahms.
I would see someone each week to check I was okay but I wouldn't get any actual treatment or specific help for what I was struggling with. I was still really struggling with binge eating and was very mentally unwell. They eventually agreed to put me on sertraline so I saw a psychiatrist for an appointment for that. This caused me to have a manic episode. I read that this often happens in people with undiagnosed bipolar disorder and bipolar runs in my family so I likely have that.
The psychiatrist saw me again because of that and took me off the medication. He also suggested that I have an ASD assessment. A few months earlier I came across some stuff online about Aspergers and it resonated with me so much, I didn't tell anyone about it though because I thought I was just making it up. I won't go into all the details about why I think I'm autistic but I have loads of quite subtle symptoms and have been showing symptoms of it my entire life. I have an autistic brother, a dad who probably has Aspergers and a cousin with diagnosed Aspergers.
I also think I probably have ADHD. I read online that binge eating disorder can be linked to ADHD.
I turned 18 and was no longer in cahms and now in the adult mental health services. However, they were very bad so I stopped going there. I would say my mental health started to improve a bit after I turned 18. I was no longer severely mentally ill like I was before. I got back into education and started to get my life back on track.
I'm now 19 and things are definitely looking up for me now. I'm back in education, have a new group of friends, I'm still anxious but no longer have severe anxiety. I still really struggle with binge eating though. It's destroying my life still. I can't really enjoy anything or ever have fun because of it. I can't wear any of the nice clothes I like, I struggle to have fun when I'm with my friends, I struggle to focus on studying. My entire life revolves around food. I have extreme urges to binge every day. I desperately want to lose weight and feel like I'll never be truly happy unless I get back down to my lowest weight. I've been called fat and chubby many times at a healthy weight so I can't accept myself being not underweight. It's torture and I'm honestly considering ending my life because of it.
I'm probably never going to be able to get professional help because public healthcare is terrible and private healthcare is too expensive. What advice do you have for me? How can I recover from my binge eating disorder?

2023.06.03 12:04 Animuscreeps Gav Thorpe - how goes this guy still have a job? His impact on the lore alone.....
Writing isn't easy, and writing in an established universe must be challenging. There's lots of other people working in the same space and it must get chaotic. 40k is huge and there is a lot of contradictory lore. I'm going to be pedantic and nitpicky, and I'm venting a good deal of annoyance and frustration.
That out of the way, I avoid Gav Thorpe books because they're inferior in quality, but I've got "Deliverance lost" of the HH series. I've been going through it again (stopped a quarter of the way in, I can't take it) and there's just so much that's way off lore wise. The whole "Here Corvus, use the tools I and whole teams of scientists used to painstakingly make the first legionaries to magic up a new legion" storyline makes no sense. The Emperor had to take Luna for the gene cults to really get mass production happening. If the gene tech the big E had on Terra could do what it does in deliverance lost, it makes a lot of the big E's unification and early crusade era behavior not make sense. Plus he could've had superior shake n bake marines the whole time. Maybe Gav should've done a little homework beforehand, and had a think about the impact he's going to have on the setting. There's a bit where custodes are described as the same height as legionaries, but with personalized gear like Space Marine captains. Maybe that passage and the info therein would be worth running by someone else you work with? Great books can have lore fuck ups, the first Gaunt's Ghosts books had Iron Warriors getting taken out by guardsmen like it's routine. Abnett 1) still wrote a banger of a book which didn't rely on a weird, potentially setting changing premise, 2) got better lore wise very quickly.
As a result of the events of the book, the alpha legion have super tech for superior space marines, and have had it since 30k? That's one way to close out that storyline I guess, but why?! That's just a loose thread out there now, and chances are it'll remain one of those things that just gets left alone. It seems like ol' Gav shouldn't be trusted to make changes to the lore. All Gellar fields are generated by comatose psykers, despite warp travel predating the emergence of psykers? Nice one.
Someone gave me indomitus and wow, what a waste of time that was. The idea of the necrons using Blackstone to cut people off from the warp is inherently terrifying, but the book is so boring. The main villain is an incompetent mustache twirler. The primaris protagonists are barely more interesting than "the by the numbers military guy" and the "willing to take risks military guy" tropes. Actually, they're just those tropes.
I heard he's writing the squat books. Sorry squat fans, that sucks. The eldar fans are there with you. You can drink together! I'd love to see a new writer give the squat books a crack instead. It's worth the risk. A Thorpe novel about a faction is a middle finger to that fandom. I can only assume he has a contract they don't want to pay out or something. Maybe he's a super cool and fun guy that no one can bring themselves to fire. It's not his writing that keeps him on staff.

2023.06.03 12:01 Ghost_of_Kurt_Cobain A Riddle
I’m here but gone, I am both right an wrong.
I’m all around, though quite hard for some, for a few I can be found.
I’m everywhere, effecting all things from any place but I take up no space,
I’m a father but I have no face.
I’m the teller of tales both old and new an every tale I tell is true.
I see each sun rise an sun set, though I have no memory I can be forgotten, but I never forget.
I’m here for the change of every season; I strike fear in some but, with good reason.
I hear with out ears, the truth an the lies; I see all..though I do so..with no eyes.
I can be missed, I can be lost some say borrowed an in rare cases, even bought
but not very often.
I can fly..but I can not walk.
I communicate though I can not talk.
I can heal any wound from the deepest broken hears to the most vicious beastly bites; I can even put an end to any earthly plights.
I settle all scores from the most grievous plagues to the worst world wars.
I am not dead, not even alive.
I am one with the sky, the mountains, the oceans and the seas.
I come and go like the wind an pass by gently as a breeze.
I am one with the stars and the heavens which they comprised.
I envite you now..
come one..come any, come all in droves, for im certain know one knows.
Any who be witty, silly, or wise; I call to you now, to the clever, the brilliant, the genius..the sly,
I ask only that you tell me truly..
What am I..?

2023.06.03 11:59 Yuzu0759 Tips for having a better experience offline in a bad environment or where to go for alternatives?
Sorry if this isn't super well formatted, I'm just having not the greatest experience playing offline lately.
I've been playing for a bit of time now, the set I started playing again was Genesis Impact (the set with dryton/evil twin) and it was fun trying to grow and learn playing modern YGO.
Learning was difficult but there were a lot of helpful YouTube content to help me learn the game, not everyone I knew were great teachers and the people at the locals I go to aren't very helpful and I'll go into that later.
I like the game and even though stuff is kinda overpowered it doesn't really bother me and I testing stuff in real life or simulators vs the AI
For quite a long time, I usually would play once a week some friends/acquaintances at a fighting game event that ran YGO on the side as a casual non-stop free to play sort of thing. I would try some Online WebCam duels as well but they didn't always fulfil the same satisfaction as playing with people offline for me.
Unfortunately around the time when Power of the Elements came out the group were slowly tapering off interest on playing for a variety of reasons and currently now nobody is really interested in playing at all, saying they're disinterested or not enjoying the game anymore. It's all understandable and I have nothing against all those decisions. So lately if I wanted to play I would have to resort going to my local OTS stores more often. I normally don't go to my local OTS stores because I haven't been able to vibe with the crowd very well
There's around 3 of them all in similar, not to far off locations and the majority of the attendees frequent all 3 stores so the crowd doesn't really change up. and that doesn't really help for getting away from them if you want to play. I'm not having any social awkwardness issues it's just most people aren't interested or they're kind of mean/unwelcoming and it puts me off
I'm just mostly in between casual and competitive for the game, I like playing a variety of decks/archetypes (Spirit Charmer, Exosister, Witch Crafter, Marincess, Traprix are the ones I have) and include plenty of the good staple cards like prosperity and I overall don't really care if I win or lose I just play for fun and try to be a better player at the same time.
There's just been so many countless times where at events people will bad-mouth about how bad YGO is and how the ban lists and etc are done by people who have no idea what they're doing but whenever I've paired vs these people they don't understand some basic rulings and always want to challenge legal plays in aggressive manners like fusion summoning with your own face downs as material example. It gets annoying to just hear people complain nonstop about the game
Today was especially my breaking point, I had a 5 round tournament, I went 4-1 and only really enjoyed a single duel vs someone playing that new ritual burger deck that seems pretty cool. I currently play Traptrix ever since the structure deck came out and have been sticking with it.
But throughout my duels, there was a Labryhth, Kashtira, and other traptrix player who all complained about how the matchup wasn't fun or wasn't skillful or was boring trying to discredit my wins.
The player I lost to was playing Super Heavy Samurai, and I'm not familiar with the deck because it's so new and I spent time reading the cards and thinking about places to interrupt and the entire time the guy I was playing just said things like "It doesn't matter what you do" "A single ash blossom isn't going to stop me" "No need to roll dice for a card I'm going to rip them all from your hand anyway"
It wasn't worth getting upset over it but it's just such a demoralizing feeling that in my area it's become so hard to enjoy the game with other people from the nice people not wanting to play anymore and only really being around toxic people to play with, does anyone have any advice on some alternatives options I can do or ways I can get others into the game? I've tried a little to get some friends I know into YGO but they say the game is too intimidating or too expensive to want to play and it's understandable
Has anyone else been through a situation like this? I like the game and I want to enjoy it but it's been rough and I'd like some advice

2023.06.03 11:55 wappingite ‘It’s tough for parents’: should young children have their own phone?[a fifth of three- and four-year-olds now have a phone of their own]
| Main points: New research from Ofcom has found that a fifth of three- and four-year-olds now have a phone of their own, and are already using them to watch streaming services, use social media and play games online. One in five UK children aged three and four have mobile phone, study finds This is not parents handing over their own phone to a toddler to amuse them briefly – much higher numbers (69%) of those aged three and four are regularly using phone handsets to go online, including on borrowed devices, according to the media regulator. But the finding that one in five had their own handset led the Children’s Commissioner for England to say this week that they should not have them at all. “Very young children do not need internet-enabled phones,” Dame Rachel de Souza told the Telegraph. Anxiety about children’s exposure to technology is nothing new, but while most parents will grapple at some point with setting limits on phones, many will admit to letting even very young children use them from time to time. So how should parents navigate this often fraught territory? And what are toddlers using mobile phones for anyway? Ofcom did investigate the latter question. Three- and four-year-olds may still be developing the dexterity to hold a pen, dress themselves or cut their food, but 92% of them watch video streaming platforms such as YouTube (across all devices), almost half send voice and video messages, 23% use social media apps or sites, 18% are playing games online and 11% have posted their own video streaming content. Children of this age were more likely (51%) to use YouTube’s dedicated kids’ channel than the main site (31%), although a striking 38% had their own YouTube profile. Once there, as any parent who has lost a young child to Baby Shark or Peppa Pig knows, they like cartoons, animations, mini movies or songs. Separate research from The Insights Family has found that the favourite YouTube channels of this age group are Blippi, a blue- and orange-clad actor whose videos about tractors and popsicles have earned him 17 million subscribers, and Ryan’s World, the phenomenally successful unboxing and educational site of now 11-year-old Ryan Kaji (34 million subscribers). Many teachers will not need data to tell them of the ubiquity of phones among younger children and their potential impact. Nova Cobban, a former primary school teacher who worked with children aged five and six, says two things stood out about their tech use. “One was that children who were very young were talking about the fact they had seen things on YouTube – you knew that they were using it, that they coveted it, that they made fun of children that didn’t have access to that. So there was already a divisive element to it.” I’m pretty shocked tbh. submitted by wappingite to UKParenting [link] [comments] |
2023.06.03 11:54 speroc BTS, mistranslation, and our responsibility as consumers of foreign media. Any examples of commonly perpetuated mistranslation/misunderstanding?
| DISCLAIMER: I was born to Korean parents, and lived there for about a year or so when I was young, but I was raised in an English-speaking country. My Korean is nowhere near perfect (it's pretty tragic, actually. My reading and writing skill, especially), but I'm exposed to it enough that I have rough understanding of the spoken language. I also have a mild interest in languages, linguistics, and grammar in general :) But please call me out if I make any mistakes here, and I'll edit my post. I'm writing this because I want to help re-emphasise the dangers of irresponsibly consuming foreign media, and how mistranslations or cultural misunderstandings can misrepresent reality. Especially for such high-profile celebrities such as BTS or other idols with such massive fanbases! I was watching kpop videos just now, and pointed out some misinterpretations that I came across. EXAMPLE 1: mistranslation, or language-based misinterpretation ^ it's so easy to wrongly project our own assumptions on others if we're relying on mistranslations. I noticed a lot of commenters were commenting on SUGA's \"savageness\" based on something he said that was mistranslated, when in the actual korean, he never said that at all. The stereotype or assumption that he is \"savage\"/direct/cold, while definitely true sometimes, can wrongly influence our interpretation of something he does. https://preview.redd.it/22vrd6v0gr3b1.png?width=1576&format=png&auto=webp&s=f27554e2354b838c6da9e750871091202af29df7 ^ this was a yoongi calling jin \"hyung\" compilation somewhere (^not me, but another youtube user) Of course, if you don't speak a certain language, it's almost impossible to be aware of these nuances. I don't want to blame anyone for things they can't help because they just simply don't know. In the second case regarding "hyungie", there's basically no way a non-korean speaker would be able to differentiate between adding -ie as an ending to a proper noun to make it sound cute "jiminie~", vs. -i as a normal noun ending "But [I thought]* jimin already did that?"/"jimini beolsseo hetnendae?"/지민이 벌써 했는데? *doesn't actually exist in the korean, added to make the english more idiomatic and translate the general feeling [if anyone actually knows how to grammatically define -i/-이, please do... all I can describe it as is a noun ending, lol, kind of similar to -은 or -는, that has the vibe of "so and so DID this/SAID this/etc." in the past tense??? idk] 형이 or "hyungie" in the cute sense rather than as a noun ending, as far as I know, doesn't exist, or it's very uncommon at the very least. It's an English misinterpretation of Korean syntax (see the last screenshot). It sounds cute if you look at Korean though English-coloured glasses, basically. My point is that it's so easy for things to be misunderstood without even being aware of it! Even seemingly harmless or small mistakes can escalate into complete misrepresentations. It's our responsibility as consumers of media to fact-check, avoid jumping to conclusions, avoid blindly following popular opinion, and avoid unfounded speculation, but as consumers of FOREIGN media, it's especially important. Linguistic differences, cultural differences, and mistranslations can distort the original tone or meaning of something. EXAMPLE 2: cultural misinterpretation It's very common and normalised for Koreans (and I believe in other Asian countries) to comment on appearance and weight. "hey, you gained weight/lost weight!" While it could be meant negatively, it can also carry a positive connotation, especially if you're close with them: "you look healthy, you must be eating well/feeling better!" < you would hear this from older relatives, "You're too skinny, you need to take better care of yourself! Are you sick? Are you stressed?" It all depends on the context. In Western countries it would be absolutely taboo and shocking to comment on weight, however. (not that i'm defending the cultural obsession with appearance in Korea. It's bad. I know firsthand how this has affected some people that I know. I'm not saying that it's good, just that it's very normalised, not taboo, and usually not meant to be offensive.) https://youtube.com/shorts/J_mGvqVqzTk?feature=share 🐰: 쫌 뽀송뽀송 한데~ 찜빵같아! you're a little fluffy/soft~ like a steamed bun! 🐱: 왜 이렇게 뚱뚱하냐, 그때? why was I so fat* back then? *I chose to translate 뚱뚱하다 as "fat" because I think it's the most accurate. You could use 뚱뚱하다 in an offensive way, same as "fat" in English. Chubby also works, but I wanted to translate it in a way that's more likely to be construed as negative in English to illustrate my point. ^in korean, this reads as affectionate and normal. Yoongi's comment about himself is a little self-derogatory, but it's very normal. Nobody would bat an eye at this in Korea. Through a Western lens, however, this could be read as incredibly offensive and problematic. You could read into it as BTS perpetuating unhealthy/toxic weight culture, fatshaming, etc. which may be true to some extent, but it's a CULTURAL issue, not a problem with the individuals themselves. This reads as a perfectly normal exchange in Korean, but in English, it already sounds kind of jarring and offensive. It's not that something is completely wrong/right, it's how something can be interpreted according to very different cultural norms. also see: https://www.reddit.com/koreanvariety/comments/kel655/is_it_more_acceptable_to_comment_on_a_womans/) TRANSLATORS HAVE IMMENSE RESPONSIBILITY!! International army are always subject to translation. Accurate, nuanced, and respectful translation is so, so important, because for a lot of people, the translated representation is the only representation we have access to. If you make youtube edits, or videos, or translate songs, your version of events might be the only version someone sees. - We have a responsibility to be aware that mistranslations and misinterpretations exist. Often, multiple translations/edits of the same event exist. Does one stick out as feeling off compared to the others? (see the second screenshot). Or do all the different translations seem to match up with one another? cross-check sources! Is this an official translation or a fan translation? - If you're a native speaker or know some of the language, it's important to call out these errors or possible misinterpretations whenever we can, in a respectful way. - but also know when you have the authority to challenge something! If you've learned a language for... like... a week, and know nothing about the culture, blindly trying to correct stuff is also misinterpretation. Nobody's perfect, but we owe it to BTS, idols, and other foreign celebrities to do our best to be well-informed and respectful. It's often pointed out how much richer the meaning of some of BTS' songs become if you understand the cultural nuances behind what they say or write, whether it be clever wordplay or clever references or just an untranslatable ~vibe~ to their words. RM especially is the king of this! His lyrics in wild flowe들꽃놀이 straight up read like poetry, dear god. BTS - DDAENG Explained by a Korean BTS - IDOL Explained by a Korean But we have to be aware that it goes the other way, too. Excellent translation/analysis can be the gateway to seeing the same words in a completely new light. Other times, mistranslation can make it so you only have access to a sliver of the whole picture. Sorry for the ramble :) if anyone has any other examples of common mistranslations or misunderstandings that are popular in the fandom it would be cool to try and debunk them! Thanks for reading, and I hope my broken Korean pulled through, lmao. you don't wanna know how wrong my spelling was before I triple-checked stuff on google translate ;~; shame to my ancestors submitted by speroc to bangtan [link] [comments] |
