2024.05.15 12:39 rach011 I’m stuck cos I can’t forgive

Bit of info I have ptsd, different past traumas Mum of 4 F 39, my mums always been obsessed with my eldest son. (long story but she manipulated him and caused him to be difficult, willing to answer questions). A few years ago I found out via a lot of different people that for a while my mum and sister were telling people and my side of the family all these crazy lies, I confronted her and she blamed my son, told me to have a stroke,(I’ve chosen to walk away) went to my son and made him not talk to me, my nan (who was my world) ended up in hospital she did message me to say and I asked her to keep me updated. She didn’t I next get a message from my aunt - my mother had told her I had ignored her message and didn’t care and that my nan was dying. I sent evidence that I had replied and also had messaged my dad but she wouldn’t accept. She puts stuff up on fb all the time about me (I haven’t got fb), she played games with my nans will, she uses my son (21), but he sees I’m the bad guy she’s destroyed my relationship with him he ignores me 99% of the time, he doesn’t bother with any of us (infact his behaviour I think he’s a sociopath). But I can’t walk away from him. I’d like tips or advice as I’m still so angry I want to forgive for me but I can’t, I also know I’ll never forget what my mum has done. Sorry for the length

2024.05.15 12:39 oldfuckingsoul Career change, need sounding board?

Hi all, I'm a Canadian who recently moved to Australia. I have my PR here. I'm considering (like 85%) doing my master of counselling to pursue counselling/psychotherapy in Aus. I guess I'm just here for feedback, criticism, any advice.
Some facts about me: - 29F turning 30 this year - my undergrad was in Criminology with a minor in psych (graduated 2016) the intention was to either do law school or mental health counselling but at the time the thought of going back to school made me sick - since then I've worked in corporate env. Mostly sales roles in software - I feel unfulfilled. I know the money's not comparable (at least for a while) but I'm at a point where I'd rather deal with real problems rather than corporate BS - I saw 2 therapists during Covid and after, who truly changed my life. I don't know where I'd be today if it wasn't for them - there's a lot going on in my life (quarter life crisis?) and considered a career pivot anyway, but as I'm looking at what else is out there, I keep coming back to therapy.
Some points: - anyone here practice internationally? Able to transfer credentials, etc. In case we decide to move to Canada later on in life - Id eventually like to start my own practice, as that's how I imagine my long term life going. Maybe 10-15 years from now? How realistic is that? Is that possible to do remotely? - what do you wish you knew before making the transition?
The masters programs 2 years in Sydney, so it's a pretty big adjustment. I'm scared and excited and nervous.
I just need to talk to someone who might get it, so I started reaching out to people who graduated from the program to see what their experience is like.

2024.05.15 12:39 any_4tt I think I almost got kidnapped

Im not a artist so NTM on me but I hope yall get the idea. Im pink dot
I was taking a late night walk, just enjoying the weather. So this one guy randomly comes up behind me and starts walking really fast with his head down. This was kinda suspicious to me. I slowed down cause I always let men go in front and we were at a crosswalk. As Im crossing the street I notice another man to the right of the intersection walking up but instead of crossing he turns right so now were all walking the same direction. I turn my head to get a view of him but y’all soon as I turned my head I peeped another guy behind me getting closer and closer.
So now its like one man behind me, one in front and one to the right side. So I’m trapped in each direction and wouldn’t be able to run left after I cross the street.
Its like my body processed the information before my mind cause It moved on its own. I had a feeling if I went down that sidewalk something bad would happen. I put myself between two parked cars, and started going through my pockets (tryna intimidate them lol) then stared at the man behind me until he was close enough to me (Which looking back was very dangerous) then immediately turned around and walked the direction I came from. Soon as I did that the guy on the other side crossed the street and made eye contact with the guy that was behind me. The fact that he turned around, and quickly started walking towards me told me everything I needed to know. I was definitely in danger. He was there to catch me if I tried running to the other side.
The light was red so now i’m waiting and watching him walk down this other street. Tell me why he turns his head sees that im crossing to the other side then crosses again so now hes in front of me. Im walking slower and slower while being mindful of anyone behind me. I think he noticed so he stops and sits/stands at these benches so I take the opportunity to walk faster when I noticed there was other people around and got away.
Somehow I got home safe but is this triangle method a common kidnapping technique? I keep thinking about it and like I would of been fucked if I didn’t notice all 3 of them. I got home and was like I almost never saw my bed again. My whole body was shaking .

2024.05.15 12:37 Unable-System-6456 My boyfriend (20M) couldn’t go see a concert in his state because of major insecurity on my part, and he missed out hearing one of his favourite songs from her live, it was probably the one and only chance he ever could’ve had. How do i (F24) get over this guilt and make it up to him?

i’ve tried writing this out a lot of times but i keep rambling, so i’ve tried to write this as short as i can (even tho it’s still long) with as much context as possible, but there’s a TLDR if you don’t wanna read the whole thing.

my boyfriend and i (ldr but we have met twice now) are both pretty big fans of this one female singers music.
we had a sexual conversation a few months into our relationship (before we met for the first time) about celebrities we found attractive before we met each other (and i guess at that moment too?) and he sent a gif of her, and i ended up feeling very very sick and insecure about it. i tried to push this feeling away but i eventually told him how i felt and he apologised for telling me/how it made me feel.
we met a few weeks later and things were fine but i guess the feeling stayed and just before i went back home, i ended up asking him not to listen to her music because all i could think about is how he thought of her sexually and how it ruined my perspective of her as i always thought of her innocently and her music helped me get through really bad times in my life, so it felt awful and weird and wrong to me. he respected that and i believe he stuck to his word and didn’t listen to her.
we met again 8 ish months later, and she had put out a new album, and a new single for a movie. we ended up listening to the album and single together and he absolutely LOVED the single. like, really, he quoted it all the time and we watched the movie it was written for, and he loved that too so it all tied together, and we ended up talking more about her a lot, we bought merch from hot topic, even joked about buying her skin in fortnite (i know 😭) if she ever became one, and she sort of just became an inside joke, like “yeah whatever i know you think she’s hot idc!!!” where i was joke mad/annoyed about it and he found that funny and it was just some inside joke that developed, and i didn’t care about him wearing her merch or whatever, but over time for whatever reason, those feelings came back again and i felt really insecure about it.
but i didn’t really bring it up and we still listened to her and looked at her vinyls in stores and kept those jokes going, but eventually, he found out that she was going to be in his states capital city for her tour. he obviously wanted to go, and made jokes about going ALL the time. his main reason for wanting to go was so he could hear that single that he loved sm, but i was so sure that she wouldn’t sing it because it was just a single for a movie and why would she, and i told him that and he believed me (bc it made sense and i rly didn’t think she would)
this was in january/feburary of this year, and i left him mid feb. the concert was early march. before i left, i talked to him about how the insecurity and those sick feelings were coming back and he blocked her on spotify and respected how it made me feel.
and well, he didn’t end up going to the concert, partially because i think it was very obvious that i didn’t want him to go even when i joked with him that he could, and also, probably partially because of the cost of the tickets. i never really thought twice about if she played the song or not. and fast forwarding to now, may 2024, i decided that how i felt was ridiculous and after a few conversations with him and a lot of self help videos on youtube about jealousy, i told him i was okay with him listening to her again. and it was hard to start with but i’m more or less fine with it now.
ANYWAY. so the concert was in march, he didn’t go, and time has passed since then. but i was just looking at her setlist for all the shows and i looked at the show in his state that he wanted to go to, and it turns out she DID play the single!!! his state and a few others out of many many dates that she didn’t. she played the ONE song he really wanted to hear, in his state, and she will probably never play it again live, or if she does it definitely wouldn’t be a reoccurring thing and definitely not anywhere near where he lives.
i feel horrible. i feel so guilty. i know it’s just a song, but it’s a cumulative of a lot of feelings and i hate that i felt insecure and jealous and stopped him from doing something fun that he would’ve enjoyed and also heard a very beautiful song that he wouldn’t have been able to any other time, all because of how i felt. he’s always said when i brought up him not listening to her as “he doesn’t care enough” and that it doesn’t affect him but i think it probably did, and it makes me feel so fucking bad that this happened and he didn’t get to go and it was because of me.
TLDR, i was clearly uncomfortable with my boyfriend seeing a very attractive female artist in concert (LDR relationship, i wouldn’t have been there with him), so he didn’t go, and he missed out on a probably once in a lifetime chance of hearing his favourite song by her live, she only played it at a few shows and his state was one of them. I feel horrible. how can i make this up to him and get over the guilt i feel?
(also, i promise i’m working on the insecurity stuff. i know how i feel is dumb and how not “letting” him listen to her is selfish. please don’t remind me)
(double also if you figured out the singer, congrats😭)

2024.05.15 12:35 South-Account-3091 Paying for our own wedding

So, everyone. I had a more personalized post and was told it was too personal, make it more professional. I made it more professional and then someone else told me it should be more personal. My word lol.
I have no idea if this is allowed here, I've read the rules and this is technically wedding related as I am trying to afford my own wedding!
So, now I'm going to do what I want and be super personal!
My name is Nicole, I have 11 years of experience in hospitality and 2 years of experience as a recruitment consultant. Weddings are bloody expensive and my fiancé and I are paying most of it ourselves. I have a thriving social media business, and I also side hustle by designing east to access websites and I revamp resumes.
I charge a once off fee for a website, and am happy to transfer it to you once completed so that you can choose your monthly or yearly website fee, domain etc.
With regards to the resumes, I charge a small fee to revamp them, based off of the industry you're in, or hoping to apply to be a part or.
If you're not interested please don't harass me, support goes a long way for someone, even a stranger.
I have references of my work, plus all the websites I have designed. Pop me a message and I'll give you my email address or visa versa.
Thanks all, have a great day.

2024.05.15 12:32 CastAMillion [AU Time][Monday][Online][5e][Homebrew][LGBTQIA+ Friendly] The new frontiers of exploration are calling you! Will you answer them?

First some info
Hey all, first to clarify a few things. This is an advertisement for 4 players needed for a long-term, homebrew campaign starting at level 6. If you are looking for a purely RAW dnd setting with RAW mechanics and gameplay, this likely isn't something for you. And that's okay. This campaign will be taking place weekly on Monday evenings, AUSTRALIA TIME. If you apply for this campaign, I am going to assume that you will be able to consistently make this schedule. Please familiarise yourself with this as if you are in the USA, it will be early hrs of the morning for you most likely (approximately 2-3am start for those on the East Coast).
I am an experienced GM and I expect a certain commitment from my players. This being a mutual understanding that the more passion we put into the games, the more fun and fulfilment that we will get from them. As a DM, my style is a roleplay and exploration focused game. With the potential for long stretches of combat sessions when narratively appropriate. I run a number of homebrew rules that I believe fit my style of game better. This campaign is in a unique position of exploration over all else. You will need to build characters who have a sense of self as well as a desire to explore. While it is NOT essential or required, taking notes is encouraged given I do like the old lore dump from time to time.
Lastly for the info. Please do not feel intimidated if you are a new player to dnd, wanting your first game. Maybe you are someone who has played Baldur's Gate III and want a shot at the TTRPG version. All are welcome. Please do not apply though if you are under the age of 18, nothing personal, however its not the vibe or themes I'm going for. This campaign will use Discord and Roll20. I'm happy to teach roll20 use, its fairly straight forward to those who haven't used it.
Campaign Premise
Now that stuff is out of the way! Lets have a chat about the kind of story you will be signing your Monday's away to for the indefinite future.
For longer than even Elvish recorded history, around the equator of the world, have been a set of impassable leylines. For millennia, ships, airships and any who attempt the treacherous crossing of this equatorial barrier into the South has never been heard from again. All forms of divination and teleportation magic has proved futile at providing witness to the other side of the great divider. Until 5 years ago. 5 years prior to the event of the campaign, the 3 largest nations to the North developed a device called "The Arcane Anomaly Pacifier," (TAAP). Which is a ring of three large towers that every 6 months, can stabilise the leylines in a small enough area over the ocean to provide safe passage for a fleet of ships. The first of these crossings was named "The Exodus."
Since then, 9 other crossings have been made into the new lands. You, the party find yourselves on the 10th crossing. Leaving from whatever life you had before, into new prospects of employment. Were you running? Hiding maybe? Or even someone down on their luck in search of new horizons! You have accepted the job of Expedition Security for an eccentric Gnomish scientist named "Odana Gerrul." She believes that there is more to this southern wasteland than meets the eye.
Rumours of an artifact with the power to control the flow of magic run rampant within the new colonies as ruins of who came before are starting to be uncovered. Will your party be the ones to unlock the secrets of the new world? Or will the mystery swallow you up whole?
How to apply
Thankyou newfound friend for sifting through my word vomit. Now if you feel like this game may still be for you, here's how you can go about letting me know! Please fill out the following google form as accurately as you can. (Extra consideration will be put into those applicants who go into a bit more detail) I'll contact you further if I believe that you would be a good fit for the group. Any questions, please comment below.
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfC3mYtky9b9_RknQzS9Y4g0rLkDGmzrjhtF9zXfucUdpwccw/viewform?usp=sf_link
I look forward to hearing from you.

2024.05.15 12:30 ifknlove5 Whos the man in my dreams??

Ever since i've been a child i've had these dreams about a man, its like im awake but dont realise i aint awake?? first dream i had was when i was 7-8. i was in my childhood room, keep in mind i cannot sleep for the life of me, and at that time i didnt have sleeping pills. so i was doing my normal playing with plushies late night game. my room was on the second floor and i lived in a small town, my house was ontop of a mountian with a big forest right outside my window. but a small road just before it. as i looked out it was raining, the small light coming from the street light but it was flickering cuz it was old, i watched the rain drop but got an uneasy feeling as i looked further into the forest i saw him, he was a man, tall, strong but not too strong to it being his only feature. he looked like a normal man. his left hand had an axe. and i started to sweat as he walked slowly towards my house. stopping under the dim light. then up the driveway, then watched me like i watched him. he threw the axe at my window, and i must've woken up, but i didnt realize i was dreaming it, so i fell off my bed and ran to my parents room yelling at them that 'hes here' and call the cops. i still to this day dont remember it being a dream.
as some time went by, i didnt sleep at all. but only night i fell asleep, but woke up to an uneasy feeling like the first dream. then i heard it, our doorbell. i somehow didnt get scared and just walked downstairs, knowing he was there. i opened our door, and walked out. it was propally in the middle of the night cuz it was fully dark. i started to walk towards the forest. knowing he was there. my ma stopped me. asking the hell i was doing. i straight up told her 'hes here' but then realised what i was doing. keep in mind, i was too scared as a kid to even leave my bed at night. i still dont get how i just walked out of the house without sobbing.
my dreams slowed down. i felt uneasy sometimes but kept telling myself it was a dream and i was okay, even tho i was actually awake. it fully went away in some years, moslty cuz i never slept. but when i moved to a diffrent place he came back. first one after a while was while i was babysitting this dog for two weeks, he had been there for a week atleast at that point. i woke up and went upstairs, sitting on the arm rest on my sofa and scratching the austrelian sheperds ears. he was pretty big so he was perfect height for it, but then he got a freaked out face on. like he knew someone was there but didnt dare to look. i was confused and got the uneasy feeling again, i looked over at this corner, as i look down i saw two shoes. and i know for a fact no one was home cuz it was summer break and everyone in my fam was at work. i didnt say a word, my breath stopped as i saw the shoes move a bit. then i woke up, with a full on panic attack. it felt so real.
some days later i dreamt another dream. it felt so real, i was doing my morning rutine, but when i came to the living room which is upstairs. i saw my whole family, mom, dad, and my big brother. they were towering over something on the floor. it was an dark aura around it as i kept asking them why there were home and not at work. but they had the same as the dog in the other dream had. i looked more down. the shoes were at the floor with some jakcet over them. but then somone started to crawl out of it, hands gripping the floor as it came to life. and i woke up.
after that he kept coming. one dream i had was while i was sleeping at my aunts in my childhood city. i dreamt like i was walking back to my old house, going to check it out. but when i came there, all the windows, door and carage was fully open and fully dark inside. all our stuff was thrown out of the house laying at the drive way. i went up and kncoked on the wall next to the open door. no one came so i turned around going to leave. but when i turned around someone grabbed me, dragging me inside the dark empty house. i looked down as it happened and then i saw it again, those shoes.
im starting to lose track on what happens after what, but i remeber always feeling awake as it happens, to the point i dont know if im awake or dreaming anymore. ive had plenty of dreams of just living and then seeing him stareing. then waking up. i wont name them all but imma name the worst ones.
still during the summer i was laying in my bed, my room is very small, and my window is next to my bed, but i got curtains over the window to block the sun light, i was watching tiktok as i layd there, but then i got that uneasy feeling again, i looked to my door, and the light in the hallway made it easy to see two shoes blocking the light. i sat more up, grabbing some scissors i had next to my bed on my desk. as i sat started to sit even more up i heard knocking on my window, i fully turned my eyes there, and it was a gap just with the curtians enough to see some of the window, and there he was sititng, leaning down to meet my gaze. same shoes as always. i woke up in a panic. i didnt even know if i was awake or not. but i looked towards my window, and it was a gap with my curtians, its never a gap there cuz its creepy.
Another dream i had was that me and my family was at this place, my pa was sunbathing and i was chilling inside. its like a hotell. i kept going out to check on my dad as it started to get dark and i got an uneasy feeling. i knew something would happen. as i went out again, i found my dad laying on his sunchair, only that his limbs had been awfully ripped off. just where is knees started his leg stopped, just where his elbow started his arm stopped. and he had that look on his face like in the others dreams whenever someone saw him. i ran inside agsin and got met by his gaze as i woke up in panic. i ran to my parents room as they were dead asleep. but i needed to check if it was real cuz it felt so real.
im seeing that im writing a lot so imma just hurry up with the newest ones.
one dream i was back at my childhood home, i was with my two friends from there as we were playing in some tunnels made from WW2. me and my friend was supposed to find our other friend cuz he ran away somewhere. but as we looked she also dissepeared. i looked around. i saw some stairs, i know exaclty where i am and is 100& i was there, the stairs leads you to the dakrest point of the tunnel, its like your eyes are closed cuz its fully dark, as i went down i stood still for a second trying to hear them. but only thing i heard was the mans heavy breathing. in every damn dream he has this heavy breathing. i woke up with a scream as i dreamt that.
this is the newest one, only last week i dreamt of him again.
i was biking to my nearest shop for a drink, as i went back my bike had stopped cuz something happened with it, it does that sometimes. so i walked instead. it was fully dark outside and raning just so slightly. but as i looked forward in the small street, i saw him walking towards me. his head slighty turned to his side like hes watching me. with a knife in his left hand. i woke up with my breath knocked out of me, i went out again with a friend, we were getting some snacks to watch a movie, it was late, so it was dark. she sat behind me on my bike as we biked the same way i did in my dream. i got like a deja vu from my dream. but i was awake for sure, cuz i had already dreamt. but then i saw him again. the sight made me crash the bike into a small hole. she fell off as well did i. i quickly sat up a bit and went to help her sit up from the fall. but then as i was helping her i felt that uneasy feeling. but i didnt turn. her face went like everyones face whenever they see him. i didnt have time to turn. the knife he held in the other dream went straight into her collarbones. i turned around in fear only to be met by him sitting close to me, watching me with a damn mask on, the mask is fully black wiht a white lines a cross of it with some 2-3 other small lines over it. i had, had a double dream. it felt so unreal. and i never know if im awake anymore.
i went to a therapist for it one time cuz i hadnt slept for two week straight, and my parents got worried, and they tried to sign me up for pills. but i told them i was getitng better cuz i didnt wanna take pills and get worse.
PS. one dream i had was that i was in school, i had a morning rutine. getting ready, biking down there, sititng in fucking math class, learning math!! but then i got an uneasy feeling as i saw him just stand next to the door to the classroom watching me. that was an annoying dream cuz when i woke up i actually had to do it all over again.
but he seems to alwyas hurt people i know but never seems to hurt me, just stare, watching or some touches. ive had one dream where he shot my two best childhood friends in my old woods at where i used to live. it felt so real, i saw their pain as i hid behind a rock, as he just shot them with a hunting gun. and while they're brains were dripping everywhere he just stared at me and walked closer till i wake up.
i srs dont know what is happening, its creepy and idk if im dreaming or awake anymore. i be hanging with friends but get the uneasy feeling and just run off. into the woods or hide or legit start to sob.

2024.05.15 12:28 gamberettii_ will i ever do anything with my life?

Hello all, I am an italian female (28), and I have been really struggling lately
I have graduated two years ago in humanities and I practically haven't been working since. I tried to apply for phds (both here and abroad), I have tried to apply for jobs, I have tried to take every teaching position I could find, but nothing.
I only worked like 6 months in public schools, and it was awful. Don't get me wrong, I liked it for some parts, but here working in public schools as a young substitute teacher is hard (your colleagues treat you like a student, students don't respect you that much because you're young & you're a woman, you get paid like 3 months after starting the job, your wage is the lowest in europe). I suffer from anxiety and depression and this situation affected my mental health even more
I tried to apply for positions in companies, but they only seem to want people in STEM, and I fear I am too old now for them to offer me anything (not even internships)
I am going to therapy regularly, but I feel I'm doomed, I feel like I'm not going anywhere with my life, wasting my years and my studies for nothing
also, all of my friends and my boyfriend have been working for years now, while I had to move back with my parents because I have no money of my own. One of my closest friends made the big step and she's moving abroad (literally to the other side of the world) in a few months for work
i really don't know what to do, i am here wasting my time, i'm not even applying for jobs or phds anymore because i'm sure i won't get them, i have lost all expectations and ambitions
is there anyone who's going through the same situation? how are you coping with that?

2024.05.15 12:28 Imaginary_Owl8552 My unoccupied vehicle was hit in a parking lot (Missouri), and I was not notified

I am in the state of Missouri.
My (37F) unoccupied vehicle Black, mid size SUV) was parked in a sport club parking lot on Saturday morning while I was at practice. When my practice was finished, I got in my car and drove home.
Later that day, a friend pointed out damage to my driver side tail light. I was certain it had not been there before Saturday.
I reached out to the club (at which I am a member) where my vehicle was parked, knowing they had recently installed security cameras. By late Saturday night, they reviewed the footage, and communicated that one camera caught the accident and aftermath (further from my vehicle), and one caught the audio of the accident and aftermath (nearer to my vehicle). There were multiple witnesses, and a clear shot of the license plate of the vehicle that hit me. I provided my email address so that he could share the footage with me.
On Sunday morning, upon further inspection to my car, I discovered damage to my bumper on the driver side, a decent-sized white scrape through my paint. I reviewed the footage myself, and the location and color of the scrape are consistent with the mechanism of the accident and color of the vehicle that hit me.
The footage captures me in the parking lot as well (everything is time stamped on the video). The parking lot was chaotic due to an unrelated event in the park. I stood in the parking lot for a few minutes before approaching my car to leave. Many other adults with whom I train can also be seen/heard in the parking lot footage. People were turning their cars around at the end on the lot past where my car was parked because the lot was full.
Long after I had left, two people (who I now know as the driver’s mother and brother) appear at the location. They have a conversation with the driver of the car that hit me. She had been sitting in her car in the lot, waiting for them to arrive.
On Sunday afternoon, I filed a police report in person with the municipality in which my vehicle was hit. I explained that I thought the driver of the car was young, the parking lot was chaotic, and at that time, I wasn’t interested in pressing charges. I simply wanted them to take responsibility for the accident and provide their insurance information to me.
The responding officer was able to make contact with the owner of the car. His 16-year-old daughter was driving at the time of the accident and admitted fault. The officer provided the owner’s phone number to me.
I reached out to the owner. Our conversation was brief. I asked for the insurance information. He replied that he’d rather pay for the repair directly because his daughter is a new driver and only 16 and he doesn’t want their insurance rate to go up. He asked if I was willing to do that. I was hesitant but understood, so I said, “Okay,” and agreed to call after I had an estimate for the repair.
After that call, I felt uneasy. I followed up via email with the responding officer for the police report. I emailed him the footage, and let him know that the owner refused to provide his insurance information. I also emailed the club to make sure they saved the footage in case it’s needed at a later date (they did).
The officer called me again not long after I emailed him and gave me the owner’s insurance policy number. I felt a bit better knowing that I have it just in case the situation got hairy.
His wife called me later Sunday evening. She was very nice and we spoke for 10 minutes. It became clear to me that they were under the impression that only my tail light was damaged. Her daughter said that her passenger mirror hit my car. I explained that I didn’t think that caused my damaged tail light, and that I thought she cut her turn short in a tight spot and wedged her vehicle up against mine which in turn put upward pressure on my tail light which caused it to break, and that there is also damage to my bumper. I explained that this was the damage I could see, and there could be more (my car is a 2019 SUV with cameras and sensors that I bought new).
I told her I would get an estimate this week and send it their way. She texted me her email address.
Monday I called our insurance agent to inform him of the accident and seek his advice. He encouraged me to file a claim, and advised how best to move forward if I did not make a claim.
Yesterday (Tuesday), I got the estimate for the repairs. It’s ~$2700, and the shop made it clear to me that it is not unusual to find more damage after disassembly. At the time of the repair, the estimate is to be paid up front, and the final balance upon pick up of the vehicle.
I forwarded the estimate to the owner’s wife, and in that email I expressed my preference to go through insurance.
She responded later that evening, and it is now clear to me that we are not on the same page. She doesn’t believe that the damage described in the estimate is consistent with her daughter’s recollection of events. She is asking me to send photos of the damage to my car, and is requesting the video footage from me. I am not inclined to do that, and I think it’s time to file the claim.
The driver did not notify me of the accident at the time of the accident in any way. She sat in her vehicle in a nearby parking spot waiting for her mom.
Is this considered a hit and run? I only know her identity because of the police report that I filed the next day and the footage.
The owner’s daughter is also a member at the club where I practice/train. My practice on Saturday is 8-10 am. Hers 10-12. We have the same coach. I am trying to leave the club out of it aside from accessing the security footage.
Will the insurance company want names of witnesses? I don’t have those, but the club could ask the girls who did witness it (also on footage) to come forward.
I’m just at a loss. I was trying to be nice and understanding and cooperative with their wishes. I thought I’d have the upper hand since I was not notified. Now I’m anxious about the entire situation, haven’t slept all night, and want to protect myself. I’m filing a claim today (Wednesday). How should I respond or do I even respond to her email?

2024.05.15 12:27 Mikinl Does prednisone makes you feel instantly better?

I have terrible bowel and stomach problems for year and half and a lot MCAS symtoms and doctors couldn't diagnose me with nothig.
Endoscopy showed redness irritation of stomach lining, colonoscopy clear, CT scan of abdomen clear.
I tried every possible way to make my stomach and bowels better but nothing worked and I felt constantly bad, every day without getting better.
Usually pain on left side of my stomach and lower left from my belly button and a lot of stomach growling and gurgling mostly on empty stomach.
Even swallowing saliva made sound in my stomach.
I took prednisone 20mg out of desperation yesterday and amazing how better I felt. Today I took another one and I feel same as good, no pain, 80% of bowel sounds are gone and I can almost function normally.
Does anyone had same effect taking prednisone?

2024.05.15 12:25 Sure_Direction_5355 i am tired

i'm 19. yeah bla bla i feel i alone i feel unloved i feel like a flaw and thats it. i struggled my entire teenage years just trying to be okay with myself and people around me but it doesn't matter. ive made about 23/25 treatments with different professionals since im 8, therapy is something i always look forward to help me but my meds only work for me 3 months or less. thankfully i am self aware of my behavior, i dont talk shit but it doesn't change at all, its all in my head. i just don't leave my room anymore. everything sucks. my favorite videogames, my books, my friends, my family, my hobbies, my life. it's just so weird...? how do people live? no, like, genuinely, how do you guys live? how is it to wake up and think "oh im making an omelete with toast this morning!" and not "if i kill myself before 04:00pm i dont have to pass through this" how does that feel? please i dont want to die without knowing...
i want to get better, i truly want. but i just dont see this coming. ive been patient, not smoking anymore, recovering from self harm and abusing meds... i want to live, not survive. and i know, it will pass, right? but when? when? can somebody hug me until it passes? no one? im scared that everyday i fear death less, its tiring, ive been strong but i feel sick.
i struggle with depression, anxiety, bulimia and borderline. i still have to deal with autism and adhd. it's pure hell. i stress about everything. it hurts not only me but people around me, my dear friends that i tend to push away when i feel my worst side coming and they are tired of this situation and probably tired of me too.
but i still have hope, at least some kind of... but is hope enough to live? will the world have mercy on me? im so afraid. im not that naive to think things in life should work like a fairy tale to be worth living but sometimes i wish this wasn't too tough to deal with... do i really need to face bad people? bad choices? bad places? bad decisions that are not even made by me... just to.... live? life is so funny actually. im weak in this life but in the next one i may play with it a little bit.

2024.05.15 12:25 EcstaticSoil185 Is my classmate being nice?

We are both freshmen at uni having one practice class together. We sit at the same table and just actually talked a month ago. Before that, we constantly made eye contacts.
I would stare at him silently before but he would always look back, smile somehow but never break eye contact, which was so awkward that i gotta look away first. So yeh after getting caught staring by him twice, i stopped. He would wait for me and we leave together. But i noticed that when we talk, its kinda one sided. I am the only one to ask questions, mostly about himself . He barely asks back but he is engaged in the conversation tho. And this afternoon when i walked with him back to his dorm, he just looked at random things when we were talking. That made me wonder whether it was because me following him was against his will or not.
Im planning to ask him to grab lunch someday but im so nervous as I’ve never done this before. The semester is coming to an end and idk what to do. Pls helpp

2024.05.15 12:24 Vast_Cardiologist829 I (14F) hate my 'best friend'

I (14F) hate my 'best friend' (15F).
In year six I met her, she was new to the school, and we became friends quickly, she'd always gossip and spread rumours about other people, i'd never engage, one of our mutual friends told me she was shittalking me and I brushed it off, still being her friend.
Then lockdown happened and we slowly drifted apart, I stopped going to school because of an anxiety and I never talked to her again, until last year.
She added me on snap, and I was confused cause it wasn't an account many people she would be connected with are on, she started talking to me and i was talking back, and i thought that we were all chill, and we were!
Then , after a few hang outs i realised she was still the same, gossiping, lying person. I ignored it, because of anxiety i started doing online school, and I had literally no friends, I was also in a really bad place, but she was there, and as far as I knew she wasn't shit talking me.
We started hanging out more, getting closer as we both did a form of homeschool, we'd talk, i'd engage in the gossip, have sleepovers every weekend and we got really close.
Then, she and her best friend who was also in my year 6 class started fighting, I supported Millie through it all and backed her up on everything, because I didn't know the other girl's side of the story.
Fast forward to january this year, She started talking to a guy, I was going back to in person school. I knew this was gonna be a big change, so I tried to hang out with her more, so she didn't feel I was abandoning her because I was her only close friend. Her parents are really strict, so she needed me to go along whenever she'd go out with the guy. I had recently gotten back from a family holiday, and we were planning on going to the movies together, we were facetiming one night, and she said, and i quote. "We have a special guest joining us tonight!" and added the guy, she didn't ask me, I'd never met him, and it was so awkward, an hour later, still on call, she messaged me 'Can (blank) come with us to the movies, he's pretty cute'. I didn't want him to come, but I said yes.
The entire time at the movies he was mean to me, calling me a fggot because i'm bi, saying that she was prettier (she is, she's gorgeous) and that I was annoying. Millie ignored it. First red flag.
We kept hanging out and he'd keep coming along, being mean to me every time, eventually, a month or so later, some sense got knocked into her because she stopped liking him, stopped bringing him to hang out, and i started at school.
I'd made a friend at orientation, and made more friends fast, i started to become more occupied with them, although still trying to talk to Millie, she'd get pissed when I'd leave her on delivered (even though I was at school), then she'd go periods of messaging me constantly, then ignoring me, she'd brag about her other friend (singular), and would always send me photos of them hanging out. A month or two ago, we were at the movies, talking about previously mentioned best friend who ditched her, and Millie said; "She used to shittalk you, you know." And that set it off for me, I almost went off in the movie theatre. The thing is, someone doesn't shittalk someone they haven't talked to since primary school unless person (Millie) who hangs out with said person (Me) said something to encourage that, and then i figured out she was still shittalking me.
And that truly upset me, I knew she was always shit talking other people and she'd get pissed when I didn't engage, but her shittalking me was the most heartbreaking thing ever, I viewed her as a sister, and she completely ruined it all.
I started focusing more on my other friends, leaving Millie on delivered or opened, sometimes not even intentionally, and we're slowly drifting apart.
I feel like i'm the asshole here, maybe she wasn't even bad mouthing me and I was just overreacting? I'm not sure, i'm a teenager and i know nothing about social relationships.

2024.05.15 12:21 Ok_Arrival3900 Best friend betrayed me

So where do I start? I went to my mates house the other week just to hang out and see her. Some context she’s a young single mom who lives with her mom and she has aniexty due to something happening to her while going home one night. But I’ve known her since late high school. So I for a while I wanted to buy her some gifts which to me working minimum wage were quite pricey and I just wanted to spoil her because of the accident while going home and I knew her aniexty was bad anything that topped it off and as a young single mother with a 1 year old you don’t get too much time to yourself so I wanted to buy her some pampering things.
Anyway the situation happened the next day, I was chilling in her bed but when I went to find her and I asked her mom where was she her mom gave me a cold answer and I could tell something was off, I messaged her on Snapchat asking where did she go? She comes into her room where I’m laying and says “why have you been putting the baby stuff into your bag?” To which I replied I haven’t, she went on to say she wouldn’t understand why I would want to steal off a baby, something of her moms has gone missing and it’s my fault, she said she checked my bag and my pockets to which they found nothing. I was so shocked by this, she went through my stuff without my permission and then they both still accused me of something I didn’t do? And they had no proof, for the baby thing being in my bag the only reason I could think of is it must’ve fell into it. My bag is a tote bag quite a large one, so no zipper and when you put heavy items in it it kinda sinks the bag, but we got to a point of the day when the baby was asleep and I was helping clean up she through some baby toys at me to have a look at because she liked them but one must’ve fallen into my bag. I even asked her why would you think I would steal of you? To which she again didn’t reply, to any of my questions she either laughed at me or ignored.
I’m sorry that her mom lost something priceless to them but honestly why would I want to steal off of them when I pay for meals when me and her go out, i spent a pretty penny on gifts for her to pamper herself with, why would I do that? Anyway I leave their house I left it as it was as to me it was clear they had made up their mind and nothing I was saying went through their heads.
They rang my work telling them about this incident to which my job didn’t care because it was my personal life and they sided with me. I’m a gift giving person that’s my love language and I have adhd so I can’t understand body language or sarcasm so to me I thought they were joking until someone from my work messaged me about it. I blocked her on everything but I want answers but I know I’ll never get them and I’m starting to not care by telling myself they clearly had horrible intent in what they were doing. They threatened the police but what can you say to them? You never saw me put anything into my bag, or my hoodie that I wasn’t wearing due to the weather. And I wasn’t hiding my bag or keeping it hidden from her when she touched my bag multiple times.

2024.05.15 12:20 HouseSerious9612 Local news not covered at all

So interesting what the local news chooses to cover. Maybe I missed it but a 14 yo girl died in a fiery car crash on the SW side of Columbus yesterday. Car was stolen and 5 other occupants ran from the scene. So young and it never made the local news- But NBC4 and 10tv showed the new royal portrait of Charles on England. I don't get it.

2024.05.15 12:17 purplefennec Anyone else here not able to tolerate any meds? I'm so tired of how sensitive I am of everything and how I can't just "push through" side effects.

The meds I need to be on really are stimulants, but I can't tolerate these anymore because of my Long Covid.
I also have OCD and anxiety, and it got to a point recently where I'd spend every night obsessing over something minor and it was making me miserable. So I decided to try out Prozac (Fluoxetine) again. Now, I've been on this in the past for a few months at a time. It'd help stop me spiralling but it also made me extremely groggy in the afternoon and it made my focus worse. I work in a job where I have to sit at a desk and look at numbers/talk to clients all day. So imagine trying to do this with a) unmedicated ADHD and b) an SSRI that's making your ADHD even worse. So that's why I'd eventually stop.
So I decided to try Prozac again last week, and experimented with taking it at a different time instead (evening rather than morning). I'm also on the lowest dose possible. Lo and behold - I'm still getting extremely tired and foggy for most of the afternoon. People around me say to just "push through" and I keep reading online "just give it 6 weeks"..... Is this something neurotypical people are able to do better?! How can I spend 6 weeks feeling like this without losing my job? From past experience I also know it won't get better in 6 weeks, so I'm just really sad that switching times didn't work for me.
I've spent the last few afternoons crying because I can't focus and feel like a failure. I don't think NT people understand that just the act of forcing yourself to focus when your body really doesn't want to, is so exhausting and depressing in itself.
I also have health anxiety/OCD which doesn't help.
I'm not looking for advice on alternative meds, trust me I've researched a lot. I chose Prozac as it's got the longest half life and the least side effects for me. I'm just sad that nothing seems to work for me. What is good for my body (Prozac) is bad for my brain, and what is good for my brain (stimulants) is bad for my body. It feels like everyone around me is getting diagnosed for ADHD and getting their meds and improving their lives, or NTs who have depression/anxiety seem to eventually find a med that works for them. But I can't find anything. So my choice is to either be stressed and focussed at work, or chill but useless at work. Tbh I wish I didn't have to work, or had a job that was more ADHD friendly, then I'd find things a bit easier.
I'm not sure what my point is, I'm just so frustrated, I can't seem to handle or tolerate anything, I'm sensitive to everything and honestly trying to work the kind of job I do with this type of brain is a nightmare. Can anyone else relate?

2024.05.15 12:17 Forward-Shame-2156 I never feel good enough.

This may be long and all over the place. It’s 3am my time and I am spiraling…
I am a 25F.. I currently feel like there’s no point in trying anymore. I was seeing this man for a year. He cheated and I just feel like I’m never going to be enough for someone. I avoided dating for years because I was so terrified of trusting someone again. I did therapy, and have spent years trying to be a good person. I feel like this world doesn’t value anything. What is the fucken point of trying every single god damn day to make a positive difference in someone’s life or trying to be the best version of me if no one even cares. Why is this world filled with so many shit people…. I don’t get it…
I work at a church and have a second job working for children with autism. I enjoy what I do and used to feel so good about the difference I make even if it’s on a small scale. I spent my whole career in management and last year I left my job to do something more meaningful. I don’t know if the recent news of infidelity with the guy I was seeing mixed with my self confidence being at the floor I feel like I am nothing. I feel like I have nothing to offer. I have the opportunity to move a few hours away and take a management role in the next 2 months. There’s a side of me that just wants to run. Leave everything. Leave everyone and start a new life elsewhere. It would destroy me to leave my family but I have nothing for me here…. I’ve always lived in a small town. I’ve always made sacrifices for everyone around me and I can’t do it anymore. I’m so done. I haven’t told my family about this opportunity because they would just be negative and shut down any dreams I have of being successful. I feel so lost and alone. I have amazing friends that i know I could turn to but I have this issue with never being able to open up about my problems (hence why I made an account on Reddit to vent to strangers).
I’m not sure if any of this makes any sense and if you read this far thank you… I felt like my head was going to explode and had to vent.

2024.05.15 12:15 Hermione_1390 Is the George situation better than Wilburs?

I've seen a lot people in both of caitis responses (which was uploaded by someone on youtube) and georges reponses taking georges side and/or saying caitis feelings are valid and what george did was wrong but that doesnt make caiti a victim and george a bad person. But i've also seen SOME people in shelbys stream (which was also uploaded by someone on youtube) support wilbur and say shelbys not a victim of abuse. The same thing goes on on tiktok and twitter(?) In my opinion georges situation is a lot better than wilburs because: 1) wilbur abused not just shelby but also a few others, while george on the other hand only made one person feel uncomfortable (i dont even know if she was even uncomfortable with all the evidence we've been given) without even knowing. 2) that shit ass 'apology' of wilburs. 3) george managed to actually explain himself. 4) the difference between what wilbur did after his 'apology' and what george did. 5) the difference between the two situations in general.
But im still confused :

2024.05.15 12:14 Creepy-Barracuda6816 Legion 9i Gen 8 Service by Lenovo in Dubai was hot garbage

Legion 9i Gen 8 Service by Lenovo in Dubai was hot garbage
Got a keyboard issue fixed under warranty - got the laptop back and noticed temps gaming skyrocketed - hwinfo showed constant throttling even on minor tasks, cinebench scores on multicore were down like 10k, Timespy down about 4k on CPU from the benches I did from the factory. I haven't had this laptop more than a couple months.
Went back to lenovo service and the same guy who did my keyboard came out and I explained the probem. I'm like you probably have a repaste or LM issue on the CPU cause the MB is inverted and had to pull it to get to the keyboard. He grunted and took the laptop - refused to open a service ticket.. then made me sit about 90 mins only to have the desk lady return my laptop and tell me nothing is wrong.
So this morning I'm like f'it.. I'm going to open it up and see if it needs a repaste.
Lo and behold this is what I encountered. FFS. Somehow they decided not to replace the LM and went with a s%$ton of thermal compound instead.
https://preview.redd.it/o68e9bggfk0d1.jpg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0e0f3a618526a7f972616809503a234a496ad7b3
So I just spent the last three hours cleaning up this mess - repasting the GPU with Grizzly Kyronaut, re-pading the VRMs and VRAM, re-applying LM Conductonaut on the CPU.. The worse was is that whoever did the paste job did make an attempt to clean up the old LM - there were little balls on the side of the fence sponge and MIXED inside the thermal grease near the die. WTF.
Put everything back together and eureka - it boots up and seems to be running clean and cool. Will post benchmarks later along with the prior pulls (in another thread).
Never going back to those yokels... Lenovo, come on man.. do better.
