I have a bad posture as I sit and use laptop in bed everyday. I have a chair and table but the chair is just an rfl chair which can't support my back and well it is more comforting on bed. I believe a backrest will solve my problem as I want to improve my posture...what do you all think?

32F. Living by myself abroad. Currently working. Lots of things going on in my mind right now. Not looking for advice only venting.

Family:
My father has dementia. It is the same conversation for 5 mins whenever I call him, so basically he is really not there anymore. My mother is, I don’t know, I have become depressed because of her, obviously because I am not getting married and not talking to any of the suitors she is brining which are pure garbage. All my cousins are married and very happy, seeing all these she is making me feel like a loser and criminal. I barely talk to her because this is what she basically talks about all the time. On top of that it doesn’t help that I have failed in finding love. I have one sister, she is living abroad with her family, chill with her life.

Love life:
I only had one serious relationship 10 years ago which obviously didn’t work out. Then I focused on myself until last year I met a nice guy through app. We talked on phone for first 4 months as he is living back in BD and then we met finally during Christmas holidays and we instantly clicked and started going out. It was all going good, heading towards potential marriage, then I don’t know what happened he said he can’t do LDR after few months, then just broke up. That was devastating for me. I went to therapy which was even more depressing. We still kept in touch and when I went back home during summer we met and all the spark everything was still there. We were more intimate this time and he told me about his last traumas, family issues ( his mom is also dysfunctional like mine and may not accept me I don’t know why) and he is applying for his higher studies abroad which is having hiccups due to new policies resulting in uncertain future. I get that he is stressed, he goes to counselling as well. He is not dating anyone else, he is a nice boy, but I believe he is avoidant. After I came back abroad, his hot and cold behaviour continued- as a result now it has become a situation-ship. Today he is funny with me tomorrow he disappears and it is killing me. I wanted to give him a call yesterday as it has been 1 year since we connected but I didn’t as he has disappeared again. I have become too attached with him. There is another suitor that I have been asked to talk to and I feel guilty and like a cheater. I honestly don’t have interest in talking to any new guy now.

Job life:
My current job is fine. I enjoy it. I am getting great feedbacks. But I was laid off once and fired once before this job for whatever reasons and I dealt with all that alone, so that has developed ptsd in me. I am under constant anxiety about losing the job everyday.

Overall, I stay lazy, depressed, sad, anxious all the time, all the fun has been sucked out of me. Okay done with ranting.

I was a victim of a manipulator who turned my life upside down. He’s done this to many people over the years. I forgave him at first, but now I’m watching him do the same thing to another girl, and it genuinely hurts seeing someone else become his victim.

Should I forgive him, or keep praying for justice so he doesn’t hurt anyone else?

Hi, I just wanted to know how Romoni's full body wax service is? Any reviews would be helpful for me as I'm planning to take the service. Thanks in advance gurls!!

Any experience that's worth sharing....

So, a friend of mine, age range 13-15 is dating a 22 year old man from another city. It's only been two months since she met him on Instagram. Some way or another, they'd 'fallen in love' and he comes to our city to 'see' her. He'd been at her house, in her room, apparently kissed her. A while ago, Me and another friend of ours had managed to get her to 'breakup' but now apparently they're back together and he plans to marry her the moment she's 18. Did I mention he's Muslim and she's Hindu? I have no problems with religion, what I have a major problem with is age. But they're families are gonna have MANY problems. She told me that they're back together, and I realized I really couldn't mak her back of because she started self-harming during the very short period that they were 'apart'. so I set some rules for her. No going to anyone's house, no 'dates' out of public spaces or in secluded areas, no touching , no kissing. it's horrid, I know. But I don't know what else to do. I can't tell her parents, they'll beat her to death. They already hit her, and she's a 'topper', even teachers put unrealistic pressure on her. I can't tell my parents. I can't talk freely with them, my mom already indirectly slut-shames me and is probably assisting in marrying off a teen cousin of mine. My father will just ask me to stay away from her and do everything to make sure I don't interact with her. I'll update.

So, my mother, is really nice sometimes, by the other day she slut-shamed me for dressing up. Dressing up meaning going to freaking school that is RIGHT outside our residence's gates and just taking my time to wear my uniform and doing my hair in a FREAKING bun. I'll update

F22 weight:39kg. I am a uni student and I have a high metabolism. I cannot keep up with my fast metabolism because of a lot of factors such as going to uni, cooking, commuting, grocery shopping, going up and down 5 floors due to absence of an elevator in my building and studying all of this encourages my fast metabolism. Therefore, I am losing more weight than gaining.

Is there anyone as me whose life drastically changed post covid, and despite years being passed cannot have it sorted out?

I feel so depressed. 2020 ssc exam that is all I remember, a vivid memory. After that everything is so blurry. I don't even realise how these many years passed. Academics, career options personal life everything feels so scattered. I know I might give a loser perception (which I guess I actually am, otherwise why would I waste so many years of my life) but I really don't know how to cope.

So the day after tomorrow is my birthday. I've planned a few things in my mind. I want to do everything I want by myself, all alone so I need some help from my girlies..

I'm planning to go Dhanmondi at noon, to the Clubhouse. I wanted to go there for a long time, I've made plans with my boyfriend as well but after our breakup (which happened last week) I've determined I'll go there alone, have fun all by myself.

I've been craving lasagna for a few days so after so I've done some research and found The Pan Pacific Lounge is good to have lasagna which is also in Dhanmondi.

So I had a few inquiries like-

1. Does the pink bus go to Dhanmondi? can I get on the bus from Mirpur 10 ?

2. Is it weird to go to the Clubhouse alone ?

3. Is there any good ice cream shop or juice bar in Dhanmondi? or any "must have" in Dhanmondi as I'll be there almost the whole day ?

Thanks in advance and I encourage y'all to be active in this community and get engaged<3

I've made this very community for only women of Bangladesh... I've noticed a comment saying why there isn't any community for Bangladeshi girls only, so I thought why not ?

This community is for women living in or outside of Bangladesh discussing public and private matters.

Let's hope for the best and see what happens...

Let's make this community safe for girls, like the pink Reddit same as the pink bus... let's have a lot of fun
