What help is available in the UK?

I've experienced some pretty hefty trauma ranging from my childhood to young adulthood. I tried the doctors once but they gave me SSRIs that didn't really do anything even in a high dose, and 6 weeks of therapy but the therapist was unhelpful and dismissive.

I got through the next couple of years by buckling the fuck down, but I had a big set back and am finding it really hard to recover on my own.

The therapist previously tried to give me a diagnostic label I knew didn't fit, and it makes me very hesitant to seek help. It's made me fearful I'm going to get dumb labels that limit my options, and I really don't need that for having sought help.

What's available to me in the UK on this matter?

I think I need ongoing help, not just a few weeks of therapy. I think I need to have that system in place, even if it gets slowly phased out, but I don't know how to seek that system.

I just want to have enough strength to build my life.

Not much to be honest. Thank the Tories!

Oh, so there's nothing? I don't really have close people to help me through this either. I guess if I'm completely on my own I should just use an exit strategy.

Things just aren't gonna get better.

Which are the best ways to cope with emotional pain?

Find that one thing. The thing that consumes you when you do it. The thing that allows you to think of nothing else but that thing. For some people it's playing an instrument, or running, shooting, kayaking, spirited driving, motorcycle riding, fucking papercraft. Everyone has a thing.

Do that thing until your fucking eyes bleed and then keep doing it until you're tired of it and then do it some more. Throw your pain into it. Use your pain. Master your thing in spite of your pain.

>but I'm sad and I don't like anything
Fuck off. I was like that for an entire year once. Whole year. Waste of my life.

Either that or wallow in self pity until you're 45 years old, single, prediabetic, fluent in Japanese, and living in a studio apartment.

Or find something that hurts worse.

N is that you?

Anyway OP, what these people said. It's hard, but you know, it's worth a try.

Plus, you should read Marcus Aurelius' Meditations. I always come back to this book when a strong emotional pain comes to me.

/adv/, would you dump someone if they refused to give you oral sex?
Would you dump someone if they were childish and had a "failure" mindset, as in they always came up with reasons they couldn't possibly do something instead of buckling down and getting things done?
Would you dump someone if they complained constantly about certain things and retold the same jokes until it got really old?

Whenever I'm by myself, I ruminate on this stuff and think about dumping my SO. But then, the next time I see them, they make me feel really happy and cared for so I don't want to dump them. Thinking about the steps I would have to take, the things I would have to say, not seeing them again - that all makes me really sad. What should I do?

really anything can be a deal breaker. but really if a person makes you happy overall, is it worth dumping them over petty things? also, what makes you think you don't have habits that may irritate your partner that they may overlook because of your positive qualities (>implying).

>>
>>17384061
I have straight up asked them if I do anything that bothers them and they said "no", which made me feel like shit.

The thing is, I've been through a 3 year relationship before where I didn't get oral. It was fucking miserable. I would read about how other people love giving oral, etc, and feel so much resentment.

It's pretty much a situation where I'm having fun right now, but in the long run, if certain things don't change, we will both be fucking miserable. And I don't know if I should hold out hope that they're gonna change.
>>
>>17384069
well if it's that important to you, then you simply aren't compatible, you would be justified as to leaving them for something you place emphasis on.
also has she given you reason as to why she is withholding oral? do you have a poor diet? do you not was yourself?
does she expect oral herself?

I need some light on this issue, I thought she was introverted and sort of loner but now I don't know what to think anymore... she needs unreasonable amounts of space and alone time that moving in together sounds impossible.

She seems aloof and absent minded, prefers to sit by herself home reading or playing instead of hanging with me (we do hang out but a few hours at best otherwise it "wears" her out). When she's over at my place, we play video games together or separate and it seems like she's having a good time together but ignores me. She says she is just focused on the game.
Rarely engages in a conversation especially with others, has been called antisocial and avoids people like the plague. She almost NEVER initiates or shows physical affection, and it's more like she tolerates it from my part but if things went her way, I'm 100% sure we'd probably barely even touch skin for days. She says she prefers mental stimulation but I'm more the type of guy who talks a lot of random shit and makes nonsense jokes so I guess a reason for why she keeps to herself is that it may seem that one can't have a deep conversation without me cracking some ass joke.

Help /adv/, I don't know what to think. Does she love me or just tolerate me? Is there something wrong with her, should I break off this relationship? Do relationships with these people have any future? I'm attracted as shit to her and I love her

i just dont get how u got with her in the first place
let alone fell in love
if u do decide to be with her then distance urself
u cant and should not engage in emotional dependance on a person that garners no sympathy/empathy
>>
quiet people have the loudest minds...
She could have add, autism or even dyspraxia. I have these things too and if it wherent for a cenrtain group of friends I wouldn't have known how to communicate it doesn't come naturally. Maybe you could talk about it with her that you are concearned. Most introverts want to open up but just dont know how to. Butdont dump her before trying to help her. A relationship is like a house when a lightbulb breaks you dont buy a new house you change the bulb. :)

Hey /adv/,

I just asked a girl out who I've known for two weeks. She's smart, cute and funny; everything I could ask for and more. When I asked, she teared up and said that that she liked me too (romantically), but said she needs time, since we only just met and she wants to get to know me better first.

What do I do? Should I give her the time she wants? Is this just an excuse? pls respond

To me, it seems like she really meant it and that you have a good chance of going out with her after a while. Give her the time she wants, don't get too worried about things, and I'm sure everything will be great! :)

>>17384011
Alright, I'll wait for her for as long as she needs, then. Thanks, anon!

Damn. For some reason, this hit me in the feels. Like said, give her the time she needs, but keep in contact. Good luck Anon.

How much does age difference play towards a persons values/goals/lifestyle. I've been in a relationship for about a year, but I've noticed my partners demeanor is such a way to where it contradicts mine. The way we attempt to tackle scenarios, how we choose to affiliate with people and a lot of other things just end up causing friction between the two of us. I've noticed he also expects me to always bend myself for his preferences, but I have a hard time getting him to bend for mine.

I'm almost three years older than him and a friend of mine was telling me about how that age gap is probably what's causing these occurrences, but I've seen the same issues happen between people of the same age. So /adv/, what do you think about age gaps? Is there a limit towards how young or old you're willing to date? Do age gaps cause more differences than people realize?

How old are you, and how old is he? If you two are in your late teens-mid 20s, there's going to be a serious maturity difference, and that will definitely impact the relationship in a negative way.

The man is supposed to be the older one. People figured this out thousands of years ago.

>girlfriend of almost 4 years gives me an ultimatum
>get engaged for marriage or we're done since we're both mid-late 20s
>she has known i have no intention of ever getting married but apparently "thought i would change with age"

So how do I convince her we don't need to get married? I don't really want to tell her my reasoning because when I started to she just flips it back on me like "it would be different with me and you" and "i'm not like other girls" bullshit that every single girl thinks.

Get a god-tier lawyer to draw up an abusive prenup and postnup (because prenups are thrown out regularly; postnups seal it better) that would absolutely fuck her but do nothing to you if you two divorce. Tell her that she has to agree to those terms if she wants to get married. If she says yes, you can get married and not have to worry as much.

Either that or enjoy watching her marry someone else.

Ask her why she even wants to get married in the first place.

All you guys, you know who you are.

Go take a walk or drive to your nearest grocery store, right now. And buy a pack of gum, it will only be about a dollar.

Now find a woman cashier and as you're checking out, say "Hello, how's your night?" to the her. At the very least she will now say, "Good how about yours?" but she may even be nicer than that a give a smile and a happy voice, who cares if it's fake

Say "Good"

Walk out, you did it, this is your first step. Keep going one level higher every day until you find her

You're welcome

I am a Christian. I love my religion. It has brought me out of depression, saved me from suicide, and has filled me with a sense of meaning and purpose. However, I have always struggled with porn.

I was raised a Christian. Around middle school, I doubted God. I went on this crazy anti-God spree. Then I started looking for the truth, only to find out there wasn't. Things only went downhill from there. My life got worse and worse, until finally I was about to kill myself. I was going to drive my car off a mountain that Friday. The day of, I entered the church and screamed and flailed, since I was going to die. In the midst, I heard a voice, "Be still and know that I am God." I was immediately filled with a sense of peace and purpose ever since.

That's why I believe in God.

I can't maintain long lasting relationships because I am way too scared about being cheated on.
When years ago the girl I had a crush on found a boyfriend it scarred me pretty bad and now it seems too easy for a girl to cheat (not saying i was cheated on here)
I was doing okay with a girl last year, after 2 months of relationship I gave up, I can't check her chat logs and there's no way to know if she's doing anything behind me.
I can't trust her because how will I ever know she's trusting me, and even if she does it still doesn't mean she can go back to her ex or something.
pls help
