Trying to put together a simply and easy meal plan.

Hey everyone. I’m trying to get myself on a better and more informed meal plan. Just some general info: Im a woman in my late twenties, and this is going to sound a bit silly but I’m the type of person where I can eat the same thing every day and be fine with it. I prefer a simple routine and I don’t like to cook.

In general, for Monday-Friday my meals look like this:

Breakfast:
- Single Boiled Egg
- Meatless Sausage Patty
- Hashbrown

Lunch:
Tuna Sandwich

Dinner:
Rice cooker concoction which consists of me throwing brown rice, lentils and a can of beans together. I also add soy sauce, ketchup, cheese, a sorayaki sauce and an orange chicken thing from Trader Joe’s. Honestly I’m not too fond of the chicken, so right now I was just going to also add edamame to the mix and also eat it with a cooked egg.

Weekend is usually free for all. I also have snacks here and there but these are my meals. I just wanted to know if this was something feasible for me or if I should just do something else.

Best free Resume generator/program?

Hello everyone. I currently use Canva for my resumes. It works fine, although it’s very annoying having to adjust everything in the resume, drag everything around, every time I have to do even a minor edit. This has made tailoring new resumes and updating them to be very annoying.

I’ve dabbled in some other free resume websites although I’ve ended up having to switch over because I realize it doesn’t work as well, doesn’t look good, are locked behind payments, etc. I wasted a lot of time trying out different websites and programs only to end up back to using Canva. I’m in a creative field so generally I like my resumes having some sort of color and clean design.

Does anyone have any recommendations? Basically I’d like to be able to simply just type up/copy and paste the different information in different fields, to which the program would automatically format everything. So for example, you fill out the work experience section, school section, skill list, etc and it automatically can put it together for you. If you need to edit something, you can simply edit the field without having to adjust the entire resume.

Dating with CPTSD?

Trigger Warning: Childhood abuse, sexual abuse

Hello all, I as most would assume have CPTSD (formally diagnosed as PTSD because at the time that wasn’t really considered a diagnosis) along with anxiety, chronic depression, etc. I was raised by my grandparents, experienced emotional, physical, mental and sexual abuse as a child. I was molested as a toddler and almost died three times due to neglect and finances. I also for the most part never had a stable constantly healthy relationship with anyone in my life growing up.

In the past I’ve tried dating, but considered myself aromantic/asexual. i was told I’m just this because of the trauma, which is something I never really cared about. In the past I tried dating, but realized I felt numb to everyone I tried to date, and even after having attempted sex with a person I realized I was also just very numb sexually as well.

To be honest, I don’t trust people. I’m very open about my past however I have a wall where it’s so difficult for me to connect to people, which caused me to drift in and out of people’s lives including up until now. I’m trying so hard to break that barrier but it feels like all I do is fuck up. All of my relationships even with family are very fragile (which is for the most part my fault) and I’m cautious with being close to anyone. Growing up I did have multiple people express their feelings for me, to which I reject kindly saying that I’m just not capable at this moment of providing in a romantic relationship. If I want a partner I want them to feel loved, and I always felt i just wasn’t capable of giving a partner the love they deserved.

I’ve been in therapy on and off my whole life. I am in therapy now, and my therapist keeps telling me to put myself out there. Truth is I am scared of being alone. I want to be in a relationship with someone I feel like I can be 100% myself… but I’m always afraid of people leaving me. I self sabotage because of this. I’m afraid of in the future having no one to live life with, no one that cares about me, no one to take me to barbecues with, to go on holidays with, etc. I want a companion who loves me and won’t ever make me feel shit about myself but it feels like that just doesn’t exist. I can’t trust anyone, not even my own family so how can I trust anyone else?

Regardless, I want to try dating again but I’m apprehensive about it. I just don’t want to go on these dates with people and know I’m just not going to feel anything the entire time, and feel horrible because someone is going to want to be with me and I’ll feel numb to it. People have told me I simply haven’t met the right guy yet but I don’t know. If I ‘wait’ until I’m ‘better,’ I feel like I’ll never be ‘ready’ to date, but I also don’t want to just date for the sake of dating.

Has anyone experienced this before? What would you think is best for me to do?

38F Hello, it’s that time of year again. It is time for me to break free from being a yeti and turn into a butterfly or idk something like that. My legs are very hairy and thick during the winter and it’s very annoying to do that first shave, so I was wondering if anyone had any solutions of the best way to do it.

I wanted to go to nair however nair smells horrible, and I don’t like lotion ‘feeling’ products. I wanted to find some sort of soap or foam that would get rid of my leg hair. A few years ago I did find a product on Amazon that wasn’t the worst, although I had to use the whole thing and it didn’t work that well to which I was better off just shaving in the first place.

I don’t really know if that product exists but I figured I’d ask the subreddit for some suggestions. Also I’m not doing waxing.

Hey all, I made a post here about a month ago, and there still is no resolution. Just to give some copy paste info;

“I’m 28, I got my credit card when I was 18 and since then I’ve been slowly building up credit. Using it responsibly, paying it off, etc. never missed a payment at all as well as my student loans. Good standing in everything and I’ve been granted more credit to use on my card although I don’t go over $1,500+

My credit has been frozen due to multiple data breaches I’ve been involved in, and I keep it frozen to kept it safe. My dad has always stressed how important credit is and how if I ever wanted to own a house or anything I needed to have good credit. Because of this I was always very careful and my credit has been in 750 range because of it. Recently I went to make a big purchase of $550 for a birthday present. While I was able to afford the purchase in cash, I had wanted to use the pay in 4 installments through PayPal or Affirm as its interest free and doesn’t impact your credit.

However as I was doing this I was getting errors, to the point where the payment would process through my end however the purchase wouldn’t formally go through even though I had enough money and was approved for the funds. Ultimately it got to the point where I just payed with debit card. I had to call Affirm and PayPal to cancel it all and I was all set. In addition, I also recently won a dispute with my credit card for a purchase I made over a year ago and I have since received a refund.

Come to find out my credit score took a nosedive. Per advice here, I got all of my credit repots from annual credit report and found that there is really no reason for my credit score to have dropped so drastically across the credit bureaus, let alone 30+ points. There were no major changes, and the only outlier is the two things I mentioned before. To give a summary;

- No marks in credit.

- Never missed a payment.

- I actively use and pay my credit card.

- No hard inquiries

The only thing is that my Bank of America card appears blank, however I already spoke to Bank of America about this and they said everything was all set on their end, that nothing was reported wrong and my card is in good standing and they thanked me for being a great customer. They also sent out a letter of my good standing to the bureaus.

I also called the three credit bureaus and they said they had no information to give me as to why my credit score dropped, and to call either FICO and they gave me a number to a credit counselor.

I called FICO and they had no information to give me.

I called the credit counselor and he told me he had no idea what was going on, and sincerely apologized to me that this is happening to me. He also wished me luck in figuring out what’s happening.

I’m tired of calling everyone back and forth, only for them to simply tell me about hard inquiries, missed payments when literally none of that applies to me. Do I just accept that my credit dropped so drastically for no reason after years of building it and start over? The worst part is I can’t even look at my credit scores through Equifax and TransUnion before the drop as I wasn’t signed up with them before then. This whole situation has been making me sick and I’m so upset over so much work going down the drain for a reason I don’t even know. Any help is appreciated.
