    In reply to: Michael posted an update It’s been several years. I see the boards are still being spammed but at least there’s some use from real people on here. Chat still seems to be used. I hope everyone is keeping well. View

    Thanks, it’s been a while! Good to see you here! I’ve been well, I just stumbled back on here out of curiosity so I’ll probably be listening a bit in the evenings on here. How are you doing?

    • It’s great to see you back on BT @michaeluk, hope you are OK Michael and everything is going well in your life, it’s sad to see this site being taken over by spam but hopefully BT will one day return to being a place filled with love, compassionate and kindness, feel free to inbox me anytime if you ever need to chat or vent about anything…[Read more]

    In reply to: mariko posted an update I never understood people who post huge paragraphs on their partner’s profile saying how much they love them. Don’t get me wrong is lovely to see people love each other, but did that person […] View

    I guess the thing is – does it matter? I dislike it as well, attempting to get some validation from other people that shouldn’t even matter to your relationship seems slightly odd to me, but it is their choice. I find the easiest way is to just ignore them or remove them so you don’t see it again. No point in getting worked up over it at all,…[Read more]

    In reply to: Nivi posted an update I may have permanent facial scarring due to second degree chemical burns… why am I not bothered by this? View

    @dorian0gray Sometimes when we’re that confident or honestly not really bothered by thoughts or input from external people – we don’t really feel the need to be bothered. It’s possible it’s something like that. It’s also possible you don’t think it creates such an impact on your life and it could always be worse, maybe you feel lucky because…[Read more]

    I can sign in BSL and know some ASL. It’s hard to teach online but there are courses and videos that can help. It’s sometimes better to have someone to practice with in person however. http://www.british-sign.co.uk/ has a large knowledge base for BSL.

    In reply to: mariko posted an update It’s so frustrating being lactose intolorant.. seeing people eating ice creams and all types of cakes, specially because it’s quite hot where I live. I wish there was more options for […] View

    There are tablets you can take with a meal that will remove all/most of the side effects for lactose intolerance. It depends on the severity of it but it is in many cases manageable. I can understand the frustration seeing people enjoying foods you can’t really eat without suffering at some point later on.

    Tony, can you do both? Can you generate income through other means to balance it out temporarily until you’re able to make more money through your dream?

    Life is ultimately how you want it to be, you can mold it to what you want with enough work and effort – even doing little bits here and there, it can get to a place where you’re content or even really happy. If you’d like to talk then don’t hesitate to pm me.

    In reply to: Brooke posted an update im being abused. View

    There are a variety of support lines out there for abusive situations. If you’re looking for somewhere to get advice or support to get you away from the abuse then I would definitely recommend that. No matter the situation – no one deserves to be abused, whether its mental or physical, neither is okay. If you need to vent or discuss options, you…[Read more]

    One of those days, or more one of those weeks? I get it! They’re always just too much of a downer. I tend to run or ride when I get those, I feel a ton better after working up a sweat.

    Sometimes the best thing is to do the opposite, confront your fear and deal with it head on. (Providing it’s relatively safe to do so). It might not feel that way but even small steps towards this goal can help relieve a ton of stress and worries.

    It’s more than alright to want to do nothing, to want to hide away, to sing to yourself, to not respond to messages or people. Sometimes we have to be selfish in order to really feel like we can deal with the rest of the silly world.

    Your parents are likely to find out eventually, especially if you plan to go through with the pregnancy. Since you have the edge right now you should sit down with your boyfriend and discuss your options, if you believe you can bring your mum into the conversation without dad (at first) then I would recommend doing that and talking it through.…[Read more]
