My love affair with iced latte (turn volume on)

I absolutely love iced lattes and I was recording a video mixing it. I heard my “wowww” later while rewatching the video and it just goes to say how pure my love is for coffee😂

Happy mid-week I guess?

I usually have only iced coffee but periods warrant for something hot hence I made an americano with my Dedica Duo.

How do you deal with all your friends getting married?

I’m 26F and am going through some tough, uncertain times; my professional, personal, financial and physical/mental health, everything’s in a quite bad shape. On the other hand, 90% of my friends have most of it sorted and are getting married one after another. I literally have to attend one friend’s wedding every second month. While I try to be happy for them, it also pisses me off.

How do you deal with this? Please don’t give me the “nobody has it figured out” lecture….i’m talking about the basics being sorted enough to be able to take the step for marriage. How do you not feel left behind at this point?

CAN MARKETERS LIVE WITHOUT IG?

I’ve been a marketing professional for the last 4 odd years but am currently between jobs.

I’d like to think of myself as fun and creative person which often comes out on my Instagram profile. However, after a recent breakup I deactivated my account and just the thought of getting back on it makes my heart churn.

The PROBLEM, however, is that i’m currently looking for jobs in marketing and my IG account sometimes acts as a portfolio. I feel like i’m losing on some opportunities just because i’ve deactivated my account.

  1. What do y’all suggest I do with respect to having my IG as a portfolio for my job hunt?
  2. In general, do you think a marketer can live without IG (i’m considering never getting back on it too)

GOING TO GOA: NEED RECCOS (read body)

Hi everyone, i’m 26F and would be going to Goa for 2 weeks in September (extendable). I would be staying in hostels, most probably for 3-4 days in South and rest in North. I’m looking to do the following things (not an exhaustive list):

A. Wellness activities (yoga/meditation/creative workshops etc)
B. Offbeat activities (visiting offbeat places/restaurants etc)
C. Immersing myself in local culture (meeting locals, hanging out with them, participating in local activities etc)

I’ve been traveling to Goa annually for over 14+ years so I already know the famous stuff but this time i’m looking at doing more local/unique things.

Please give your recommendations bearing in mind that i’m a woman and i’d like to prioritise safety along with everything I want to do. TIA :)

MY FIRST COLD BREW!

I just bought De Longhi’s Duo Dedica espresso machine which has the cold brew function. This was my first attempt so I guess it was decent. I have a few questions though:

A) which beans would go best for cold brew in this machine?
B) what should be my grind size for cold brew (espresso machines require fine grind but traditional cold brew is coarse - hence the confusion)

How to stop thinking about the girl my ex would be hooking up with now

I’m three days into a breakup, sitting in a cafe and spiralling about this girl that was interested in my ex-boyfriend. They were close friends, I never liked her and she made me insecure. My ex used to defend her and fight with me when I expressed my feelings.

Few days before we broke up but a week after it happened, he confessed that the last time they met, she confessed her feelings for him and tried to make a physical advance on him. Knowing that shattered me, I always knew something was off and there it was. I don’t trust his story but he told me that she said that “we shouldn’t meet till you’re single” and he agreed. He didn’t draw clear boundaries so she tried staying in touch even if they didn’t meet. He tried reassuring me that he wants nothing to do with her, never did, never will but I don’t trust that. I know for a fact that he would have went ahead and hooked up with her had it not been for me.

Back to present day, I cannot stop spiralling and thinking about what they both would be doing right now considering the only thing that was stopping them from meeting was me and that factor doesn’t exist anymore. I can imagine him texting and meeting her immediately after our breakup, and can also vividly imagine them making out. It makes me want to scream.

I know he’s the past and I shouldn’t care what he does anymore but that is easier said than done. I need to get out of this spiral. I am getting dreams about them, it is haunting me even when i’m awake.

Grieving sex with ex after breakup, a new low!

My ex-boyfriend and I broke up two days ago. While it was a short relationship and we were terrible for each other, I can’t stop thinking about the physical intimacy. The sexual compatibility was top-notch and my mind is constantly thinking about:
A. Would I ever experience such amazing sexual intimacy and pleasure again?
B. Who would he be going around and hooking up with now?

I just can’t imagine him pleasuring anyone else. He has always been commitment phobic and I know he desired to fuck around + there were some girls who liked him and the only thing that stopped him from hooking up with them was me. Now that he’s single again, these feelings are at an all time high and my mind cannot stop racing.

Rationally, I know he can do whatever he wants but that isn’t making it any better for me emotionally. Grieving the good memories is one thing but i’ve never grieved sex with someone AND constantly wondered/imagined another girl with them in bed and felt pained about it.

I am tired. Please give some advice ugh

Currently at rock bottom. Help!

I’m 26F and my life is shit right now. I want to do something about it but i’m unable to. Here’s what’s happening:

I’ve received some great education so far; premium boarding school, great college degree and then master’s abroad. My parents have gone great lengths to make this happen. However, I have never enjoyed any job that i’ve done so far. I’ve worked in 6 companies across industries, geographies and roles, I just haven’t found meaning in any of it and i’m not someone who can work just for the money. I’ve left my last job and moved back to my hometown in December 2025.

Health wise, I lost 40 kilos during Covid but as of today, I have gained every single kilo of it back. I thought leaving my job and moving back home would mean that i’d work on my health and go back to losing all the weight in a conducive environment but if anything, i’ve gained weight…let alone losing it. I am also in a relationship which gets affected due to my fucked up mental health. I see problems where they don’t exist and lash out every second sentence.

So, as of today, I don’t have an income for the last 7 months,my savings will soon be over, I don’t know what I want to do with my life (or how), my health is at rock bottom and it created a lot of self esteem issues, my relationship is suffering, I sometimes feel like self harming but haven’t acted on it yet. I’m taking therapy but it’s not working in a way that gives me immediate relief. I don’t know what will.

I don’t feel like finding a job and getting stuck in another one that I don’t like and would leave 4 months later but I do want income. I don’t want to live at home but I am running low on funds to travel or move around. I want to get in shape and eat healthy but my anxiety and depressive thoughts feed into my unhealthy food habits and lack of physical activity. I want to create a healthy relationship with my partner but I’m doomed with so much insecurity and anxiety that it feels impossible.
My only escape these days is to lock my room, stay in bed all day without eating or talking to anyone.

And I have to bear all of this while clapping for my friends and peers who’re getting promoted and married to the love of their lives.

I want to get out of this rock bottom but it has started to feel like quicksand. I just can’t get out. I don’t know what to do. I’ve never felt this hopeless.
Please advise.

How do I know if my therapist is good?

I’m in extreme grief and low phase of my life. Nothing seems to be working. It’s been 3 months since I started taking therapy with this person; while she’s great and I understand myself a little better, my rock bottom hasn’t gotten any better. In fact, it’s only getting worse. Does this mean I should re consider my therapist?
