28f What would you say / do? Would it make a difference if they were pretty? What if you were good friends? Do single men think about their female friends in this way?

F26 I have had a very difficult relationship with my mum since childhood. See comments for further information. Anyway I went to uni in 2017, had multiple rounds of therapy, tried to make peace with it

I was on FaceTime to her yesterday and she started harping on about not doing Christmas because she “can’t afford it” and we shouldn’t be expecting presents at our age. I would never expect to receive presents from her because she has never spent a penny on me, so I was starting to feel riled up. She doesn’t work but my step dad earns a very good wage. However my narcissistic mum then started complaining about my sisters not spending enough money on her for her own birthday? Then she start

I have the same intrusive thought which is very “existential” and I cannot stress enough it pops in to my mind every 5 seconds, unless I am distracted, I can go about my life for up to 20 minutes without experiencing it. This has been the case for 5 months.

I practice meditation, mindfulness and non-judgement daily. I acknowledge it’s a practice and I am not perfect.

Please, please if anyone has any ideas on how to cope with intrusive mind chatter when meditating I would be so grateful 🙏

Is it the storm?

Seems to be getting worse lately, especially round campo lane/ cathedral, at least 8 different groups and always one bloke acting aggressive or in crisis, they smoke dirty drugs, littering and defecating everywhere (sick, human shite and piss) and are affecting the business round the area. Why is it getting worse again? Is there anyone I can complain to? Is there any service that can help?

Hiya, my brother in law is going into the marines soon. I’m aware that they pretty much supply everything for you so I want a gift that’s going to be used/liked/appreciated and it can’t be food. What would you recommend? Thank you!!

Are any paddle boarding rental places available in December in or around Fort William. I’m coming down around Christmas and don’t really fancy bringing my own with me so I was hoping to rent, although I know most places close for the off-season. Any advice would be appreciated and other suggestions for things to do if no businesses are open. Thank you!

I was raped at 16 at a party and there was a witness. It has been the 10 year anniversary recently and it has brought things back. The rape affected my life significantly, I was hospitalised with anorexia after and have struggled with symptoms of PTSD. I’ve had years of therapy to even start to talk about it. I blocked out his surname for a long time (I literally couldn’t remember it).

Despite this, I can’t help feeling that if I reported it, I would ruin his life. He was also 16, we were both drunk, maybe I gave the wrong impression. I didn’t say no but I was very drunk.

I would feel guilty about reporting it now that he probably has his life together but then am I responsible if it happe

I am worried that it’s real and that I am doomed (I don’t want to explain what’s been happening) it is all I can think about and on my mind constantly. It pops into my head intrusively - I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it for more than 3 seconds for 2 weeks. I can’t sleep or eat and I have constant nightmares and stomach problems.
