Any advice relating to anything really, work, relationship, health, family...
I know everyone's story is a bit different and I'm not asking for magic answers but I'm 28 and a bit stuck. Can't put a finger on exactly what is I'm struggling with but I just like to hear others stories and see if I can relate to them or help me in any ways with my life.

Oh yes - take care of your health and go for your cervical screening tests as soon as they are due

So many of these are about shit men. I find that really sad.

Get out the marriage 10 years earlier.

Don't get married, he is not the man you think he is and he'll break your heart

Worrying about things you cannot change, eating Pringles and doughnuts - THEY ARE NOT GOOD THINGS...

you will have a heart attack before you are 50. You are lucky you are generally fit and generally healthy because that gives you your chance to survive it. Go to the doctor sometimes - do not be so bloody proud that you have not been for decades - seriously - you could have died....

Thank you every single one of you who commented. This has been so helpful! I have made a list for myself as a reminder

Don’t live to please others. You are the only one who will truly fight your corner, so stop putting yourself last.

Do not under any circumstances go on the first date with XXX because whilst the first 18 months will be lovely it will fuck up your MH, finances, work, self big time for the next 5 years. But if you do go out with XXX leave after 18 months.
But if all the shit that happened didn't happen would I have quiet, lovely little life i have now?

Made some stupid questionable decisions between 28 and 36. All because of that relationship. But life is finally OK (touchwood)
