I went through some traumatic shit at my previous place of employment. It was really bad and honestly I'm traumatised. I have gone to the WRC about it and I have a hearing date but it's just bringing all this trauma to the surface. I feel anxious and on edge.

I have told a few people about it but it isn't the kind of thing anyone can help with. By a few I mean the woman whom birthed me.

Anyone gone through something similar? I'm just looking to talk to someone who knows what I'm going through

I have my date and I am FREAKING out. I've done my case myself and I'm quite for from legally savvy. Do you need to have a solicitor for an adjunction case with the WRC?

I'm newly single but super horny. I have been touching myself but lately I feel like it's not fulfilling enough. I'm not really keen on sleeping with anyone just yet though.

Amy suggestions or thoughts?

So I've always like the idea of being taken but obviously not by some random but by the person I like. I was in a long term relationship and brought it up with him but he was actually quite turned off by it. He implied I probably required therapy for trauma. This really hurt me as it took a lot of courage to bring it up in the first place and then to be kind of looked at as broken due to my kink made me feel like it's gross.

I told him because there was one time I was busy doing something and he came up behind me, bent me over and took me which I told him I really enjoyed and asked him to do it more but he never did it again so I admitted it was a bit of a kink and that's when he said I needed help.

Just looking to hear from people. Does anyone else have a similar kink? Have you had people grossed out by it?

Is there anyone with a partner that has this kink? How do you feel about it and why?

Hello,

I have been through a tough time and I looked into a trip to get away and decompress but I actually don't think I'll manage to get the time off or the spare cash to cover the expense.

I have heard that Iboga is a really good herb for resetting the Dopamine receptors in the brain and I am kind of keen to try it as I've been experiencing a good bit of depression and have been feeling somewhat overwhelmed of late too. I'm expecting a weekend away for an Iboga journey would sort that out for me but I haven't ever heard anyone in Ireland mention this herb.

Is there a place around here I could do that or am I better off giving up?

I have been going through a tough time, but that is almost at an end. I'm just finding I'm a fair bit lonely and spend lots of time alone.

​

Anyone looking to chat? I like to game, ready, write, exercise, go on walks, anything with animal and I love DIY stuff too.

So I've been going through a lot for the last year or two. It's just been nonstop and I haven't had a moment to decompress. I'm feeling overwhelmed, burnt out and I'm crying a lot. There are times where I can feel that I really need to cry but nothing comes.

​

I have people in my life that care about me but I'm really bad at sharing and asking for help.

​

I have a romantic interest in my life but I have trouble speaking to him since I've started feeling more strongly for him. There was also an argument with him that he really made me feel like I'm not very important to him and I just haven't been able to shake that off. It's annoyingly loud in my mind.

​

I have my mom and a sibling but they're both quite far from me. One is a long flight away and the other is a two hours drive from me.

​

I have mentioned that I'm not doing too well but I want to speak to someone in person. I was to be able to cry and break down and get comforted. I'm just really bad at coming out of my shell and being vulnerable especially because the last few times I've been vulnerable I was sort of attacked. It just made me not want to share anything with anyone which is obviously unhealthy.

​

Has anyone been through a phase where they know they need to open up but aren't sure there's anywhere safe to do so? More then that how did you manage to share? If someone tries to make me share I get very defensive and close up tight but if someone is gentle and patient with me I really open up.

So long story short I'm feeling broken hearted and defeated. I was in a relationship and I lost myself. There were other traumatic bits in and around that too. I'm hoping to heal and strengthen myself. I'm looking for a retreat where I'll be accommodated and fed, I would be given activitie, yoga or something creative and hopefully socialise a bit. I think it would be cool if they took my phone away from me or it was entirely tech free.

I'm just looking to touch base, cry my little heart out and rebuild myself again. If I can do that while practicing yoga or going on a hike that would be a plus but it's not vital as I am taking good care of my body.

Anyone done anything like this before? How did you feel about it?

Whatever topic tickles your fancy. It's a beautiful chill Saturday and I'm looking to have an enjoyable conversation.

I read a lot of fantasy, especially when I was younger. I noticed a reoccurring theme was a mirror that shows you your true self, not your appearance but the person you are inside. I always found it particularly annoying because I thought it was silly. We all know ourselves so why should seeing it be such a shock?

I am going through a break up. During the turbulence I ended up getting close to someone that gave me a lot of care and support but they wanted more and I am not really in the space to give it. Long story short I'm all alone now.

Being alone has given me time to really see myself. To step out of the moment and look at things from all angles. I now understand how that mirror could drive you insane. I don't like the person I became living for my ex. I don't like the person that clung so desperately to someone caring for me. I lie to myself. I toe my moral lines. I tell myself I'm entitled to a happy life when it's earned.

Was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience?
