If you were walking on an isolated cycle path with no one else on it aside from a strange looking man, would you intervene if he was asking for help with an insect in his eye?
This happened to me the other day and it creeped me out, and I’m wondering if I was being over the top.
The man was hovering around a bike attending to it, so I assumed he had a bike problem, but then as soon as he saw me, he started walking towards me, and said he had an emergency and he needed me to look in his eye. I asked why and he said because an insect flew into it. His eye looked normal and he wasn’t squinting or anything like that, but kept saying it was an emergency and he needed me to look.
I said no and told him to asked a man. I said I didn’t feel safe on my own on the isolated path coming any closer to him. He stormed off angry and then kept turning around and just standing there looking back at me, which scared me even more.
Was I being over the top or unreasonably? Was I an arsehole for not helping him? Do you believe his story about his eye? This is now the fourth man who has approached me in this area with either a strange request or who has threatened me, so admittedly I’m on high alert at this point.
In my head I was thinking the minute I come close to this man, he’s going to do something to me because why can he just poke the insect out himself instead of asking a lone woman on a cycle path to inspect his eye?
Breastfeeding help
I'm struggling to understand how people do this 😭
I'm on day 3 and my nipples feel like they've been cut with glass. I cannot get baby to latch well. I've had advice from midwives and they've helped me multiple times now, and I always manage when they help, but as soon as I'm left to do it myself I just cannot get baby to latch deep enough and its so painful.
I tried expressing so I could still have milk to give baby but I'm not making enough milk yet for that to even be worth it tbh.
She wants to feed every 5 minutes, I can't keep up. My breasts feel empty and soft and she still wants to feed. I know this is because she's making my supply increase but it's constant. I can't do anything else, i can't put her down for anything, not even to go pee.
I have a toddler too and I'm just feeling tremendous amounts of guilt for not being able to even have 5 minutes to cuddle him 😔
How does this get better??? Please help!
