2 weeks ago my boyfriend and I went out for dinner, and I got pretty sick afterwards. By the time we got back to his place, I had really painful stomach cramps, loud gurgle noises coming from my abdomen, and bad diarrhea. While I was laying on my boyfriends bed, holding my stomach and writhing in pain, my boyfriend completely ignored my misfortune. He decided to grab my breasts, place his head between them and wriggle his face back and forth. I asked him to stop, and he kept at it for a good 30 seconds before actually stopping. I felt so sick and disgusted with him.
I asked him to take me home, and he started groping my breasts while we were in the car. He did this a few times while on the way to my home. Then, again right before I got out of the car. It's like, he did not give a shit about how bad I was feeling or how much pain and discomfort that I was in.
I've been disgusted with him since then. I don't think I am sexually attracted to him anymore. This isn't the first gross thing he's ever done like this, and there's been a years long build up to the negative way that I feel currently feel about him. I have no libido around this man anymore. No romantic feelings. No physical attraction. He disgusts me in so many ways. If I leave him, though, he'll threaten extreme self-harm, and I don't want this man to hurt himself because of me.

I've always been the independent problem solver. Always the person who people would go to with problems and I would always try to help.
My advice sometimes was as simple as "just talk to them" and "go to the hospital" (or something on the lines of it) because sometimes it's just not something you can deal with on your own or just by talking to me. However now that I'm going through stuff, I literally block myself in my room and leave people on read, refusing to talk to people about my issues because I've always solved them on my own and I still feel like I need/want to. I hate people looking at me with pity, treating me differently, tiptoeing around what they say.
I've grown up in a horrible environment with countless bad things. (alcoholic parents, care homes, abuse, HIV(born with it), crime etc etc etc). I've always been able to help myself because I never felt like I had anyone to talk to. Only one person in the world knows my problems, not even all of them, but that became toxic.
I preach getting help when it's needed, but can't even do that myself. It's literally do as I say not as I do. It just makes me a hypocrite but I literally can't accept that I have problems and would hate people to feel bad for me and treat me/look at me differently, so I just sit constantly distracting myself from reality.

my parents are away on holidays so i took my my nanna to poppas nursing home. poppa has dementia and is in a locked unit in a separate nursing home to my nana. i havent seen him about about 6 months because my mum usually takes nana. we arrive and go inside. poppa was sitting in the longue room playing with a toy dog. we sat down with him and nana just started stroking his arm and thats when started talking but not in sentences and just mumbling. my eyes started to tear up he was so different to when i last seen him. it just felt like he was a whole another person. I love him and always will. it was just so hard to see him like that. i had to leave the room and went outside and just cried for about 20 minutes. i went back in again and said hello to poppa but i just started tearing up again. it was just so painful to see him like that. i will always remember that he loves trains and art and puppies. i just found it hard

A couple of friends and I decided to go see Scream in theaters this weekend. No spoilers here, though, folks! OH boy did it leave shocked and looking for nostalgia; Went home and binged from the Original to the third movie, as ✨️sleep✨️ came for our souls.
Whilst watching the original one, I forgot how much I liked the legacy boys, how they jumpstarted my love for horror. It was a whole nostalgia trip.
This is oc(ME) x Canon(YOU).

NO Doubles; THIS IS NOT NEGOTIABLE. I do NOT rp as Canons and will NOT. Sorry for being so picky, but past experiences have completely ruined me.

Anyway, today I come in search of someone who can play as Stu Macher or Billy Loomis. Either will be shipped with my oc(or both if you're that risky-)! I'm not picky over which one, so whoever you can rp as Is ok(i do have a soft spot for Stu, not gonna lie.)! As for plot? I'm down to make one as I don't really have one fleshed out. I've got some points but nothing to form a major plot point or plot. Ya know?
Message if interested. Tank you, have a good day

Some quick background info. My husband and I have a 13 month old. It's been a rough 13 months and we've struggled. We got a lot of help from my family (parents, sisters) in the beginning. I'm moving far away from home in a few months, and my family is sad about it as we are very close.
This weekend, my sister asked if I wanted to go on a 2 night 2 day trip with her, and husband could look after our son. She wants me to go on the trip because it might be our last chance to go skiing before I move, which is valid. Hubs looking after our son is not really an issue, but he hasn't solo parented yet (neither have I actually) and is a little nervous, which I am totally fine with.
So, I said sorry, but no. Maybe 1 day 1 night at first, but not 2 days and 2 nights (Friday afternoon to Sunday evening).
Sister is upset. She said she wanted to remind me she looked after my son alone (with my parents, who are older, so not a ton of help) for 2 days when we went on a mini holiday back when he was 6 months old. I don't think it's really the same thing, because she looked after him, then went back home to her own baby free home. Our son is high energy and its tiring, we're tired after a long week, and I feel bad leaving my husband alone to handle him all weekend.
I feel guilty saying no and she's upset at me. Am I in the wrong? I have issues with boundaries and saying no, and I usually feel guilty when I say no to someone.

(might delete it later but here goes) For some background, my BF is currently an engineering major at a university in the US. He was born in Greece but his immediate family soon moved to the US, where they all still reside. Besides staying there a few months as a child, it had been over 10 years since his last visit. Last year we had both saved up and visited for two weeks, mostly with his family for a wedding. Afterward, he started mentioning how much he missed his extended family and how good it felt for him to be 'home', but nothing too out of the ordinary.
Although we are young, and it would be a few years away, we had conversations about marriage and life in the long term with each other up until this point. I also want to add that the years up until now have been wonderful, he's so funny, and caring, and he quite literally knows everything about me. The only thing is that we do rarely see each other these days as he has full-time work and school and I do school part-time and work full-time. This means that even when I do see him, it's for short periods and he is usually stressed/tired. Recently the issue of his Greek citizenship came into the picture, as every man is obligated to serve in the military. The amount of time varies, but it would likely be 2 years. It would make the most sense for him to join right after getting his degree before he's too old or finds a job he really likes. We never talked about it too seriously, so it rarely crossed my mind what our relationship would look like when that happened. A few nights ago; however, he shared how he felt like he doesn't belong in this country and that he would only be wasting away if he spent his whole life here. How he feels like he's missing so much time with his extended family. So when he goes to serve his military time, he will likely stay there permanently.
There was a sudden mood shift, and when he asked I did tell him my concerns about us, but he told me not to worry as it was a while away (close to a year and a half from now). I can't stop worrying about it though and I don't know what to do. I, personally, am born and raised in the US and I couldn't imagine packing up and moving so far away from everything I've ever known to a place where I don't speak the language. All this time I had been curating an image of the future I thought we shared, and now we both want different things and I know neither of us would be truly happy with the other's choice. I don't know what to do and I don't want to hold him back, so any advice or opinions would be appreciated. Apologies in advance but I may delete this later, I'm currently writing this in the heat of the moment so we'll see.

I met this guy on st Patrick's day at a bar and I'm low-key kinda wanting to date hime. He's an old friend of my friend but I'm only just meeting him now. Meeting him felt like a breathe of fresh air, he's the first guy in a long time I fel really understood me. He stayed with me the whole night and then messaged me when I got home. It's been a few days and he hasn't messaged me. I think it's because he just met me and there's no confirmation if we like each other. Am I going to miss out if I don't message him or should I wait? He might also go to a mutual friends birthday in a couple weeks but should I wait that long? I'm fresh out of a relationship and don't know if I should be patient or jump on it.
Tl;dr met a guy who I connected with but don't know if I should dm?

I just wanna find someone that will love me like I love them. Someone that has the same values and personality. I want to come home from work and be able to hold you in my arms. Support you through everything you do. Cuddle on a nightly basis. Be together always. Tell each other everything. Feel secure and safe in one another. Be happy. I’m hoping the one is out there reading this somewhere and is as eager to have this as I :)

Hey y'all, currently living in middle of nowhere GA but ive got a vacation planned to visit some family in San diego this summer. I was wondering if yall thought it would be worth checking out any retro game stores out that way or if prices are going to be outrageous comparatively.

The amount of RAM required for shared hosting depends on the specific needs of your website or application, as well as the resources and policies of the hosting provider.
Most shared hosting providers offer different plans with varying levels of resources, including RAM. Typically, the amount of RAM provided in shared hosting plans ranges from 512 MB to 4 GB or more, depending on the plan and the provider.
For smaller websites or those that don't receive a lot of traffic, a shared hosting plan with 512 MB to 1 GB of RAM can be sufficient. However, for larger websites or those that receive a lot of traffic or require more resources, a plan with 2 GB or more of RAM may be necessary.
It's important to keep in mind that the amount of RAM required also depends on the type of applications or software you are running on your website. For example, if you are running a content management system (CMS) like WordPress or Drupal, you may need more RAM than if you are running a simple static website.
In general, it's a good idea to choose a shared hosting plan that offers more RAM than you think you will need, to ensure that your website or application runs smoothly and efficiently.

I have a combination of Major Depressive Disorder (Moderate, Recurring) and ADHD Primarily Inattentive Type.
I don't try to improve my life anymore because I don't think I'm capable of it. Every positive habit I implement, I drop only days later. It doesn't matter what that habit is. I've spent a lot of money on things to try and improve my life: a whiteboard so that I can always have my goals within a few feet of me, a planner so that I can write down what I have to do, an exercise bike so that I can exercise at home (it's literally right next to my bed), resistance bands in case I don't want to use my bike, walking sneakers in case I don't want to use either the bands or the bike, an art easel so that I have an easier time drawing.
I experimented with nootropics to see if anything would stick, antidepressants that have had no effect, stimulants that have had too much effect. I've tried binging myself on coffee. I've tried the pomodoro technique. I've tried the x-effect / the don't-break-the-chain technique. I've tried just sitting down and doing it. I've tried doing it for just one minute (or, in some cases, just fifteen seconds since that's all I can handle). I've tried scheduling my activities.
I've tried this. I've tried that. Nothing sticks. Everything falls apart after 3-5 days in. I remember when I lost a friend, I got the motivation to keep up some good habits for more than one hundred days in a row. I got that friend back, and I lost that ability.
At this point, I've stopped trying, partially out of sheer laziness, and partially (mostly) because I don't know if I can do it. I'm really tired of trying to fix my life only for me to give up on something for some arbitrary reason 3-5 days later, and then my break lasts weeks and I have to start from ground zero.
I know. "If you're tired of starting over, stop giving up." But like I've said. I've tried brute forcing it.
Nothing ever sticks, and I've lost confidence I'll ever become the productive version of myself that I envision myself as.
My friends are all doing college on the side. I've been to college once and I haven't done it again ever since because I know I don't have the consistency required and I can't afford to waste money, money I don't currently have anyhow because I don't even have the consistency to hold a job (I got fired recently for chronic lateness). It's not a matter of availability. I have all the time in the world, but I can't do anything with it because I don't have the consistency. My motivation and discipline for anything dies out in days.
I'm thinking of throwing in the towel altogether (not in the way you're thinking; I'm of sound enough mind, for now, that it won't come to that).
I can't even enjoy video games anymore. Whenever I do any sort of recreational activity, I'm plagued, every second that I'm doing it, with the knowledge that I'm just running away from obligations. Even when I had a full-time job and the ability to pay bills, I still couldn't enjoy video games, because I could always be doing something to improve myself.
Nothing is enjoyable anymore.
I'm writing this partially for advice, but also partially to have it all written down somewhere to refer to later.

To be clear, I have good overall vision. But I have a condition where along with 24/7 static vision, I am more sensitive to light to the point of migraines at times. After learning about this condition, I’ve been bringing blue light blocking glasses to college. Overall, they are shown to help people with VSS. I’ve seen some sites recommend that they are not worn all the time, since people tend to stay awake better when exposed to blue light, but others argue there are no side effects whatsoever.
I mainly use them for only a few things anyways - in some of my classes because of the type of lights they use, and occasionally when on the computer if my eyes feel strained or if I feel a headache coming on. Often, though, I leave my glasses on from my last class of the day, til I get home. Today, I walked through the door with my glasses on, and mom immediately comments on me wearing them.
Mom: “oh you’re wearing your glasses?”
Me: “…yea?”
Mom: “they’re for one use only you know. You shouldn’t be wearing them all the time” (she thinks they are only used for the computer, and will strain my eyes otherwise)
Me: “no? I use them for my classes. There aren’t really any side effects to wearing them all day anyways. I’ve looked it up.“
Mom: “Hmm ok…” (doubtful tone)
Me: “It’s either these or more expensive migraine glasses”
Mom: “you get migraines? Why haven’t you told me?? Do we have to get you MiGrAiNe glasses now?”
Me: “rarely; only when I’m exposed to bright lights for too long. And I told you this back when I was getting diagnosed!” (We literally had a conversation where she said “oh that’s common in people with light eyes; I get them too”. I even brought up the migraines to the optometrist, and she was at my appointment!)
Mom: “so do you really need them?”
At this point I gave up. Honestly, even if a bit more expensive, I would like to give migraine glasses a try. They sound better than the blue light glasses in terms of helping my vss symptoms. But if they aren’t necessary, mom will nag about them, as she does with everything else “unnecessary”. And no matter how many times I try to correct her, she still thinks my current glasses will harm me!

Hi,
I am planning to build a container home but the architect I involved so far is not very … proactive. If you know an architect with some experience in this field with knowledge about NZ/AU building code or are yourself such one looking for some work, could you contact me please?
