I genuinely thought I was the only one.
Went last year and it's still the most unnerving place I have been.
Genuinely worried me. Especially walking up through stokes croft to get to the "best independent high street".
Saw the burning bin, sofas and was approached several times. Went back.

Another controversial take
I’m a fairly robust woman. I travel alone often and am generally unbothered. I found Bristol an unnerving place. I didn’t feel safe walking last night, and today I saw so much rubbish, graffiti, and unsavoury business in the city centre. Not a fan.
Stations nice though

Is it just me, or do scrub daddies not last very long anymore?
The quality isn't as good as it was a few months ago. They seem to fall apart after a week.

Need a wave guard for an old 1980s microwave that has been out of production for 40+ years?
AliExpress has it. Of course they do...
In general, I loathe online shopping. But I do like it when I can fix my own things.

It's been especially hard the last month or so.
Lots of people passing away at work.

Has anyone here ever had CBT therapy?
Trying to figure out if I'd be worth it for me. I've tried some free NHS therapy things but they didn't work.
Thank you.
Specifically to combat childhood trauma, depression, anxiety.
I'm usually okay, but I'm walking on eggshells.

I get distracted... but I work well with fresh ideas AND I have lots of ideas. A blessing and a curse.

The problem with social media is that we're all just words on a screen.
It's a lot more tempting to anger someone when there's no risk of being punched.
People aren't concerned about others anymore.
They just concerned about being 'RIGHT'.
