  • I love, that the meme used the actual picture of a German fairytale.

    Its called “The Dreadful Story Of Pauline And The Matches” - “Die gar traurige Geschichte mit dem Feuerzeug”

    … But Pauline would not take advice, She lit a match, it was so nice! It crackled so, it burned so clear,– Exactly like the picture here. She jumped for joy and ran about, And was too pleased to put it out. …

    Now see! oh, see! a dreadful thing! The fire has caught her apron string: Her apron burns, her arms, her hair; She burns all over, everywhere. …

    Pauline was burnt with all her clothes, And arms and hands, and eyes and nose; Till she had nothing more to lose Except her little scarlet shoes; And nothing else but these was found Among her ashes on the ground. And when the good cats sat beside The smoking ashes, how they cried, “Me-ow, me-o! Me-ow, me-oo! What will Mamma and Nursey do?” Their tears ran down their cheeks so fast They made a little pond at last.


  • Has any of you guys commenting even thought that they live in an overly dangerous place and she was genuinely scared?

    Of course, waking him in the middle of the night was over the top and maybe a red flag, but anxiety can do that to you.

    What would you do if the CCTV on our street is broken by chance?

    Who has CCTV in a residential street, that isn’t dangerous to walk through? Nowhere where I live, but I’ve been to some sketchy parts of Manila for example where my local friends would freak out at the thought of walking home from the corner alone. (“Oh my god, do you have a death wish? You can’t let them drop you anywhere that isnt directly your actual door! Someone will kidnap or kill you!”)

    I think her behaviour was somewhat understandable if she was genuinely scared and felt let down by him because he seemingly didn’t care for her safety.

    We all act irrational sometimes when we are scared, that doesn’t mean everyone has a personality disorder or someone even suggested schizophrenia. Seriously people! Cut others some slack for some irrational emotions every now and then.

    OP, tell your girlfriend that you love her and care about her and that you’ll make an effort to be more thoughtful of her safety and her fears in the future. Because this just might be it. She felt unsafe and that you didn’t care if something happens to her. She probably had these thoughts on a loop in her head since she got home.











  • This post is literally about how hard it is to get a formal diagnosis. Nobody said they don’t want to do it.

    I’m trying for years now and can’t get anyone to test me. Treatment is only covered after I have an official diagnosis. And this is in a country with socialised healthcare.

    Not everyone is as fortunate as you and can get a proper diagnosis and treatment.
    Yeah I don’t need a doctor to tell me my arm is broken, but at least I can get a doctors appointment for that.
