RedBurnet @redurnet (1798) • United Kingdom 7 Aug 18

I broke my finger a few days ago after falling down. It's the third time I've had a broken bone in my life. It is always quite painful and it feels like it takes forever to heal. The doctor says it will be up to two months before...

False Persona...

RedBurnet @redurnet (1798) • United Kingdom 7 Jun 18

I'm sure that many of us have exaggerated things or said things online that we wouldn't necessarily say in real life. I suppose the attention is nice and it might make us feel a sense of self-worth. A couple of years ago I...

House Share Problems!

RedBurnet @redurnet (1798) • United Kingdom 2 Nov 17

Any ideas on how to agree to house rules when you share with other people? I have reached the point where I've requested for a certain thing to be done so often that I dare not bring it up again in case I sound crazy.

Change...

RedBurnet @redurnet (1798) • United Kingdom 24 Apr 17

I have always found it very stressful trying to cope with any changes in life. I often wish I could be more easygoing about everything and not feel anxious. I think this might be true for a lot of people although I'm sure many...

RedBurnet @redurnet (1798) • United Kingdom 7 Feb 17

I bought a dress last week at a second hand shop. It is a bright cerise colour with white polka dots and white stitching. When I've had a good look at it I see the pink dye has run into some of the dots. Is there any way to fix...
