My husband and I are spending a few days in Verona for our anniversary in October, but for the actual date we would like to take a day trip somewhere else. I’m torn between going to Lake Garda as I love mountains and it’s a bit more niche, but Venice has more options for food, activities, equally beautiful, etc. Any suggestions?

There is a constant unwavering voice in my head telling me something is wrong with me. I can’t see what is wrong with me but everyone else can. I feel like I’m made of glass and everyone can see right through me, or there’s a mass secret about myself that I’m not in on. All I think about all day long is if I’m a bad person, did I do something wrong, did I say something stupid, was I rude, etc. I can hardly stand to hangout with friends or be in any social settings because basically, I am extremely embarrassed of my own existence. Even when I’ve done nothing wrong, I hate myself.

Don’t even get me started on when I actually DO do something wrong.

I don’t know how to not live this way, and I am absolutely miserable in my own skin. I can’t talk about it with anyone because they’ll just tell me “I’m getting in my head” - ya no shit. It’s not insecurity. It’s an illness that’s ruining my life. How do you cope with this feeling?

Hiya - I, 25f am moving to Stoke with my husband 26m. We both have no friends, no connections, don’t know the area at all, etc. I moved to the UK from the US 2 years ago and I don’t want to make the same mistake of not getting myself involved in anything and being isolated again. The longer you let it go the harder it is to meet people it seems. I’m an old soul; I love antiques, cooking, farmers markets, I make my own wine and do stained glass, that general kind of fun. Are there any social groups or events I’d enjoy? Really anything to meet other women my age.

Any suggestions would be so appreciated 😇

I’ve struggled with bulimia for years and frankly I am terrified it will kill me one day. I’ve been to therapy, been on meds, meal prepped, everything you can imagine. Has anyone tried a GLP1 or Reta to not binge? If so, has it been helpful?
