This happened in the morning and I still can't stop thinking about it.
So to clarify I can't eat boiled / cooked carrots, I don't know why but the texture makes me vomit, just having them in mu mouth makes me nauseous. My mom and my sister know this, they have for years.
Today I arrived at work as usual, packed away my lunch and waited until mid-day to sit down and eat: chicken on a creamy sauce and white rice, but the rice had carrots, cooked carrots. This big chunks mixed in with it. I sat there for a good ten minutes just looking at the thing because I can't physically eat it, in the end I just ate the chicken but I was honestly so upset I had to force it down.
When I arrived home both my mom and my sister asked me if I had liked lunch as it was a new recipe but the only thing I could picture was the carrots, I told them, asked them why were there carrots on the rice and they told me they had forgotten. My mom even seemed upset I hadn't eaten the whole dish but I can't! I can't eat it! They shrugged it off and I guess I was supposed to shrug it off too, I mean it's just rice but its the middle of the night now and I can't sleep thinking on it. The whole day I have been asking myself how could they forget I can't eat carrots.
After thinking about it I'm upset for a few reasons:
1) It's not the first time this has happened, earlier this year it was the same thing with a salad. Huge chunks of carrots I just can't eat.
2) Earlier on the day my sister warned she had bought some lettuce I didn't like in case I wanted a sandwich, this was because her boyfriend preferred that one, but that she would buy the other kind later in the week. This was fine at the time but now I just keep thinking, how is it that she goes out of her way to buy a crappy sort of lettuce for a guy she has known for 5 years but remembering your brother physically can't eat carrots twice in 5 months is just too much work?
3) Neither of them were even remotely apologetic, they just shrugged me off and got offended that I didn't eat the fucking rice.
I honestly think I'm overthinking but I can't stop thinking about it, I haven't eaten anything since and I am too upset to notice if I'm hungry. I have to get up at five and I am tired of being upset, I just downed a double hoping it would silence my brain but nothing, I still can't sleep.

Response times for my prescription to be issued have varied hugely over the last 9 months.
2024 had shown massive improvements with responses to my script requests being received within 2/3 days in Jan, Feb, Mar.
I'm now waiting 3 full weeks and have not even received an email stating that my request has been received.
Just wondering is anyone else experiencing the same or perhaps something has changed that I'm not aware of?
Thanks!

I (21F) feel like I’m unable to be in a loving, healthy relationship. I’ve been in 4 serious relationships, longest 3 years and shortest 8 months. I feel like I just settle and am always bored and want to search for something new and get impulsive. I act out then come back to my partner better than ever, then do the same again eventually. I jump from relationship to relationship no matter how many times i try to stay single there’s always somebody I somehow occupy myself with and start dating until I get bored again. No matter how great the guy is, how great he treats me, I still am lacking. there’s always SOMETHING that’s wrong with them even if they’re next to perfect. I’ve never had somebody i’ve ever wanted to marry, I’m not even sure about any guy I date no matter how much I have liked them. I feel “meh” about everybody. I don’t feel like I have loved anybody. I want to find somebody I can settle down with and just KNOW I want to be with them. I don’t think it’s the guys that’s the issue, I think there is something seriously wrong with me.
This takes a toll on me mentally and makes me feel awful. How do people know they want to be with somebody? How do you know you love somebody? These seem like silly questions but ultimately I am constantly feeling empty and feeling like I am searching for something I am incapable of feeling. I don’t know what’s wrong with me.

I (W21) and my boyfriend (M22) have been dating for 3 years now, and everything has been fine until now. We have known each other since high school, and we were friends for 3 years before dating each other. Not that long ago, I was asking my boyfriend about his previous relationships, I was curious because he is my first boyfriend, but he had been in multiple relationships before dating me. When we first became friends, he quickly developed feelings for me, but I rejected him because I knew that nothing would have worked out back then, so he ended up dating different people while we were friends. I was there for most of his relationships as a friend (I haven't developed any feelings, and everything between us was platonic). Every once in a while, he would confess his feelings to me, and I would turn him down. I have seen what he was like during every breakup. After a year or two of us just being friends (he would still confess to me that he liked me), he started dating this girl. When he first started dating her (and when we first started dating), he would compare things about us, such as our hobbies, characteristics, personalities, work ethic, the sport that we played, and many other things like that. He would tell me how much she and I had in common, but at that time, I didn't think much about anything, solely because it wasn't any of my business. When they broke up, I had never seen him so heartbroken. One of the biggest reasons I thought maybe I should give him a chance was because of how long he has liked me. So recently, I brought her up because I was curious to see what type of relationship they had, and I slowly started to understand that I was being lied to. I started to realize that I was her replacement. I confronted him about the situation. I asked him who he liked first, her or me. In my mind, I always thought that he had always liked me first. The answer he gave me was her. So I asked him when he started liking me. He told me that it was a couple of months before we started dating. So that means that for three years, him telling me that he liked me was a lie. He told me that he didn't like me the times he told me he did, he claimed that he had a "thing" for me the whole time when we were friends but didn't truly develop feelings until we actually started dating, he has told me multiple times that I'm not her replacement, but the whole timeline and information just doesn't seem right. So now I just feel like his ex's rebound. What do I do? Do you guys believe him? Am I a replacement???

I’m a incoming senior in college and I feel like the ship has sailed on me having a real relationship.
Before I get into it, I really don’t want to hear any “oh you’re so young, don’t give up so soon,” or anything like that. Please just listen to what I have to say.
I’ve always been introverted and quiet. I was diagnosed with autism at a very young age, and this really changed how I viewed myself compared to my peers. None of the other kids had to go to therapy every day after school, none of the other kids were pulled out of class for special treatment. I wasn’t behind, in fact I was quite smart, but I was different. In a way I could perceive and in a way they could perceive as well. Because of this, I always felt isolated and alone from the other kids. I was never popular, and frequently bullied well into high school.
Dating was always a mystery. Once high school hit it seemed like everyone was dating, except me and the various other “weird” kids at school. But I could never get it right. I had crushes, frequently, but they were never reciprocated. I had asked a few of them out only to be rejected. Looking back there were definitely girls that had liked me, but I never caught the hint (this is a problem I still face today). I went through high school bitter and upset that I couldn’t get right what it seemed everyone else was able to do effortlessly. This attitude probably didn’t help much, but it’s hard to approach something like love rationally as a teenager.
I’ve had relationships, however. In my senior year of high school a girl who I had not previously considered perused me rather vigorously. Despite warnings from some mutual friends who told me she suffered from bipolar disorder and was prone to mania and deep depression, I decided to go for it as it was my first real relationship. The entire 5 months we dated, however, I was miserable. I won’t go into details, but family troubles mixed with a nasty drug habit on her end and very high emotions made it so I was never able to feel stable or secure in my relationship. This was right as Covid was happening as well, which didn’t help in any case. I ended up breaking up with her as I was suffering from severe dissociation and mental problems from the relationship. It was probably for the best, but I was left guilt ridden and depressed from not being able to handle the situation better. It’s still one of my biggest regrets.
Going into college, I thought I would have a fresh start. But the same problems followed me even to a new environment. I still have trouble making friends, and talking to anyone new is a struggle, let alone girls. Since college started, I’ve had 2 “relationships” each with similar stories. A girl has a crush on me, I try and initiate, we go on a couple dates and after a few weeks they decide I’m not worth seeing anymore. Both ended after about 3 weeks. What’s wrong with me? What is so repulsive about my personality, or body, or mannerisms that repulse these girls after such little time?
This is why I think the ship has sailed for me. Most people don’t have this sporadic and dismal dating history. Most people have at least one relationship that gives them satisfaction, that makes them feel secure, that gives them the feeling that someone really loves them. I haven’t had that. There’s something broken about me that I can’t identify that others can that warns them to stay away. Since college started I’ve been flirted with by 2 women (see above) and that’s it. I’ve made friends with plenty of women, but beyond that I’m much less successful. I don’t think whatever’s wrong with me is so blatant and abhorrent that women won’t be friends with me, quite the contrary they seem to love friendzoning me. Two of my best friends are women and I love them dearly as friends. I don’t hate women, I wouldn’t call myself an incel, but I guess I’m just incompatible with love.
I plan on going into medical school after undergrad, which further complicates my situation. It’s hard enough to find time to eat or sleep in med school, how the fuck am I supposed to fix myself and find a girl to date as well? If it was going to happen, I would’ve by now. And it hasn’t.
I’m sorry this ended up being so long, I just don’t have anyone I can talk to about this.

I have a 1.5 year old small poodle mix (19 lb) that is generally very shy and skiddish around even the friendliest dog. I’m usually against dog parks, but I started taking him a little bit to try to socialize him and build his confidence. We’ve gone maybe less than 7 times.
We visited some family and they have a ~3 month super high energy puppy that doesn’t have an off switch. When my dog was getting annoyed of him I would try to separate but my dog gave a warning snap which he has never done before and I was concerned about this and unsure how to proceed.
2nd instance: He was offered a type of food he usually hates and normally doesn’t eat (picky guy refused it all day), and the family dog went up to his bowl to sniff and my dog gave him a warning snap/growl at him & my dog proceeded to devour the bowl he would normally spit out. I didn’t know what to do, so I just let him eat since he hadn’t eaten all day and it was now 11:30 pm.
They have eaten meals together before out of their own bowls, so i’m not sure if that’s what caused it.
I am concerned this will develop into something more and I don’t like that he did that because the family dog is used to even eating out of the same bowl as the other family dog. I also didn’t want to take the food away so that I would be targeted as the new enemy.
Any advice? I think I will not be taking him to the dog park anymore either… lol

Hi there! I got an emergent reversible ileostomy done in March 2023 because I stopped being able to pass anything at all. Before surgery they had me downing laxatives trying to pass anything I could, with no luck. I ended up passing stool at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months post-op. I thought I was done until about a month ago, when I started to feel the urge again.
My surgeon told me to do 2 enemas a day for 5 days to pass any mucus buildup, but it turns out there's still stool in there. The first enema was excruciating and barely passed anything.
Have any of you dealt with a similar situation? And how did you deal with it? The advice I'm getting now is to keep slamming enemas but there has to be a better way because I can't handle it mentally any more. At this point I'm ready to say "fuck it" and get my barbie butthole.
Additional info:
My anatomy doesn't allow for manual disimpaction (stricture).
I have defecography and anorectal manometry appointments scheduled, but I'm not sure how accurate those would be if I'm still impacted?

I live in the UK and my girlfriend and I have planned a nice weekend away to a city we've both wanted to visit for a long time. The price of train in the UK is very high so I am against using them where possible.
My girlfriend has a car which I am on the insurance for so I can also drive. I enjoy driving more than my gf so I tend to be the one who drives the car most of the time. When looking at how to get to the city I said I'd drive us.
My girlfriend refused and said it's the longest distance I'd have drove. I pointed out there was always going to be a first time for me driving this far. so I don't see the issue. I've never had an accident and I'm not a bad driver.
She just repeated she wants to get the train. I told her I'm not willing to pay over £100 for train tickets when we have a much cheaper option. I asked why she didn't trust me to drive us there and she just said it's a 3 hour drive.
The longest I've currently driven is just over 2 hours so I don't see the difference as than much. She just stated again that we're getting the train. I told her if she insists on the train then she can pay since I shouldn't have to pay for something when I'm happy to drive.
She said I was being unreasonable and should be paying my own ticket.
AITAH for wanting to drive and not get public transport?

Hellooooo I just wanted to share Im finally going to hang out with his cap sun aqua moon, Saturn and Venus
After like 4 months of on and off flirting he asked me if I wanted to go out or something we didn’t even really make plans we just said ok let’s meet here on this day and this time.
Hahahah it’s a museum infront of a very large park so I’m thinking of bringing some bread in case we decide to feed the birds hahaha
I’m so excited and nervous to get to know him holy crap hahaha I wonder if he feels the same.
But anyways just wanted to put this here aaaahhhh im super nervous but so happy and excited :)

This shit of a landlord and his wive lives in the same house as I do. It's a 4 bedroom house which 3 are rented out. I have private room to my place. The landlord has no understanding of personal space and boundaries. Has not given me a verified contract (I am a female international student ). I was told I would get one and never received one. Also, they have entered my room twice when I have not been at home. Found his phone in my room the other day. Confronted them, and his wife got mad. Its like I am walking on eggshells everyday, can't be myself nor I can live in peace. Despite keeping the place clean and maintaining everything well. The landlord actively tries to find faults in everything I and my other flatmate do. There's a stupid whatsapp group created just to post shit about the maintenance when the landlord himself is the dirtiest. And his wife on the other-hand who claims to have OCD, they both like when the certain areas of the house, is cleaned for the superficial eye. Whenever I am out of the house or he sees me happy, my landlord makes it a point to find some fault even when there isn't any. He and his wife can't seem to find us happy ever. I am so sick of his bullshit, to a point its has been affecting my mental health. I already have a lot going on with uni . Receiving crap messages from my landlord is the last I need. I pay rent on time btw, and keep the space clean. I have been looking for a place to move out, haven't been able to find one yet. Have also reduced conversations with the both of them, and have been ignoring the group chat becuase its honestly senseless at this point, and stupid. Now, he has been texting me personally, which is even more annoying af. I understand if you tell me about something I have not done not when I have done and yet you find a problem with it.
How do I deal with a landlord like this?

5 years that shit haunted me. On and offs and 2 years to realize that im addicted. Bad feelings every time i took them, nights where i threw out my pack and mornings where i went out to pick them up again. Im done with that - no more pouches, no vapes no smoking. I managed for 3 months and then had a rough breakup - this time i want to manage to be free of it forever. Studying medicine and seeing the harms of smoking every day and yet im top stupid to stop it. Will be hard to throw all of the pouches away but i will. Hurts my wallet but benefits my health. Wish me luck everyone :)

Hello All! I’ve been slowly getting into cooking over the past 4-5 years. I began by just being able to make rice and (bland) dal, and now able to make decent everyday-meals.
In the past, whenever I’ve learnt a new skill it’s been best for me to approach it like I’m studying a school subject. I want to approach food in the same way.
That brings me to my question, can you recommend a good certificate or diploma or workshop style course for culinary arts? I’m specifically looking to learn about savoury foods, not patisserie. Having the institute in Mumbai will be ideal, but if the course is shorter than 3 months, I can to to another city as well.
