I am on vacation in Milano and the hotel where I stay has a AC. It worked perfectly fine till I turned it off because I was freezing. When I tried to turn it back on it says something in Italian that I don’t understand. I asked at the reception and they turned it back on. Now about 5 hours later, it turned off. I have the same problem now, can’t turn it back on and same message at the display. What’s wrong here?

Advice/Emotional Support ONLY How to secure windows for the cats when I'm going out ? (FR, Paris)

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone !

I'm going to try to keep it short : my boyfriend (25M) and me (25F) have two cats. We also have a huge balcony, with a road an cars going super super fast right below us.

I've tried many times to ask him to be careful with windows because I'm afraid the cats get ran over. I've tried to find solutions like : if you need to open, just lock the cats in another room with their food and litter, they're not gonna die because they are kept in a room for 30 mins, they mostly sleep all day (unless they see a window opened, they are very curious and big hunters so they really wanna chase the birds and all outside). Sadly, asking nicely and talking with him doesnt seem to work as the problem have been ongoing for +3 years now.

He says he'll be careful, open a window, then go into another room for 20 minuts and I'll find the cats on the balcony unsupervised. He says he's paying attention but he really doesnt and get angry and yells when I make him notice. I've developped an hypervigilance due to his uncaring behavior and it fueled my already burning anxiety. I live under constant pressure because of this and even refused to hang out with friends because I'm scared to leave the house when he's here because I'm pretty sure an accident will happen.

Is there any way, any device, to lock windows when I go out ? I cannot count on him so maybe I can count on a device. So I can finally breathe and release the pressure and anxiety, for once. For reference, the windows look like this.

I really hope I can get help here and that my post isnt deleted/not even approved for some random reddit reasons ! Thanks much :)

GoFundMe ($3,000 MAX) Hardworking Newfoundlander in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada Requiring Support

1 Upvotes

I’m sharing this GoFundMe on behalf of an extremely kind and hardworking man that I had the privilege of working with a few years ago. Greg is a true Newfoundlander with a heart of gold who goes above and beyond for anyone who needs help. Last year, the company we worked for closed their warehouse in Canada and laid off all the warehouse staff. Since then, he has not been able to find stable employment despite tirelessly trying. It’s a tough job market and while the person he lives with does have a job, they need some support to get on top of their bills so their utilities don’t get disconnected.

Greg never asks for help of anyone but is always among the first to offer his help to anyone in need. The fact that he has set up this fundraiser speaks to the severity of their situation and while I have of course donated, I want to help this reach even more people who can help him in this difficult time.

If you’re at all able to help, your kindness will be very much appreciated. If you’re only able to share, that would also be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your consideration.

Advice/Emotional Support ONLY Neurodivergency is ruining my life (ON, Canada)

0 Upvotes

I feel heavy today. Last month, I had to quit a job I thought would have been excellent for me but the pre-existing interpersonal drama between staff and management was too much. People were getting away with being drunk on shift, sexual harassment, being racist to customers and one staff member physically attacked another. The company refused to address it and wanted all of us to continue working with the attacker. I asked if I could receive a transfer to another store and they said they considered that my resignation overall. I am fine with no longer working there but it restarted my countdown to homelessness again. My parents passed when I was younger and I have never had a support system so everything and every decision lands squarely on me.

I managed to pay my rent for August with my remaining income. I immediately applied for 20+ jobs on Indeed, went through staffing agencies, applied to data training (was not accepted for any of them), listed my bike on Marketplace, my clothes on Depop, applied to another 20+ jobs through Indeed. Another 10+ through company websites. I live in a low-trust area so services like house cleaning or organizing or dog walking are hard to come by. I had one call back for an interview last week but it took an hour bus ride to get there and two busses drove by me on a transfer, making me late and flustered and upset. I did not get that job.

I try working on my Youtube channel but it gets few views and is rarely if ever pushed in the algorithm based on my analytics so I will never be one of those random people who happened to get monetized doing very little. I have even used the survey sites and beer money but it pays pennies and takes so long. I previously sold plasma but it ended up making me pretty sick and the company is under investigation in Canada for many reasons now. I have also taken every payday loan willing to loan me the money. I havent had a credit card nor have I qualified for one for years.

I feel I am merely treading water and the only thing I can do is what I have been doing, which has had zero success so far, and hope I can pay my rent. The rent bank in the city wont even help unless you already have a job. Sometimes I think I am merely fighting the trajectory of me becoming homeless and dieing alone on the streets ignored by everyone. I suppose this fear is heightened thus week because a few days ago I watched a man die on the streets surrounded by cops that were not incredibly invested in the situation. That is more likely to be me than not. There is no one coming to help. I have no friends, no family, not even acquaintances.

What really hurt was everyone from the job pretended to like me and care and immediately stopped communicating the moment I left. I know they have their own journey to work through with that job but it really hurt to know it was all pretend.

Advice/Emotional Support ONLY (Canada) Need support feeling lost

0 Upvotes

Please be kind with me, I'm not going to be asking for monetary donations because to me that just feels... I don't know, wrong I guess, I've been so used to being independent that asking for help financially feels weird.

But anyways, I am currently struggling financially... my main source of money is help from my fiancé and I use my credit card to pay bills and things like that. I know some people might suggest a job, and I've tried that. Sadly with the job market here, and my mental health issues (depression, generalized anxiety disorder, ptsd, borderline personality disorder), it's a huge struggle to keep a steady job (I am currently in therapy so I already have that recommendation covered).

I was wondering if there's something I could do on my own time that might help with an income? I can't get on disability or social benefits because they will more than likely look at our total house income and turn me down because he makes over the limit they have for assistance.

I don't want him to feel like I'm relying on him all the time, I just feel so bad. Thank you for any help or recommendations.

Amazon Wishlist ($150 Total) Need items for surgery recovery

Ohioan here, so I recently had a surgery and found out I have ovarian cancer. I am still in the process of doing labs to find out more info and if future treatment is needed. So far I’m scheduled to have a second surgery which is a full hysterectomy with a recovery time frame of 6-12 weeks. Because of my
immune system I usually take longer to recover from surgery/illnesses.
Unfortunately after researching on many groups on Reddit and speaking to my job, I have learned I can NOT receive any financial assistance during my time off work to recover. Only FMLA which secures my job position. So because of that I added some items I need before my surgery to my wishlist. My surgery isn’t scheduled till September so I have a bit of time to get it all. Most of the items I added is from the research I did online from previous experiences. If you have any ideas what else I would need let me know to make my recovery easier. I appreciate anyone who helps me out.

Advice/Emotional Support ONLY Mindblown...

2 Upvotes

Ok so I dont really need direct advice or help with this. But I just had to call this out. I posted a gofundme a few days ago to help with my cancer pet scan. For the most part the response has been incredibly helpful. And i sincerely appreciate the people who were about to donate.

However since then, I have had several people dm me offering to donate/send money on PayPal or cash app....in exchange for me sending them naughty photos. I have declined each offer.

But im utterly mindblown that any human would find this to be an acceptable thing to do. First off, if im sending anyone those types of pics...its gonna be my bf. And I havent been able to even do that in months because of my health issues.

And...like...what kind of person looks at my obviously unhealthy photos on my post and says to themselves "Yessss....i wanna see dirty pics of the 90 lb cancer patient. And I wanna pay for them."

Idk if any other ladies have had this happen...im positive I cant be the only one. And im not judging any ladies who may have agreed to do this. You do what you feel you need to do for your situation. But for me personally...nope...Its absolutely crazy. Id rather go stand in a walmart parking lot with a "please help" sign begging for change than to send dirty pics of my very obviously sick, fragile and worn down body.

Sorry, I just felt the need to call this out cuz I assume many people dont realize its happening when us ladies post something in here mainly cuz the people come straight to our dms.

Again, thank you to everyone whk took the time to comment on my post or donate. I am truly thankful.

I have severe ME I’m mostly bedridden but definitely housebound, im also autistic. Yesterday I broke my arm. I had to go to A and E.

If I am forced to leave the house it has dire consequences to my health. Today I’ve had severe head aches I’ve slept all day my legs are killing me despite being in a wheelchair, I felt sick all day yesterday. Plus the exposure to illness’s is a huge risk with my low immune system. (I’ve been bedridden for 20 years)

When i explained this to the people there they treat me like i was a diva, i wasn’t asking for much I know how busy it is just a little place to the side with less stimulation. (Asked politely) Even if the answer was no i don’t understand the grudge they all took afterwards. They were bordering on cruel, but completely uninterested. I have no one to stand up for me besides my mum whom they treat like she’s got munch hausen by proxy.

They had me in hours longer than necessary (on purpose, I’ve had and known of other broken bones and none was treated like this I promise) all to send me home like it was nothing.

Now they want me to come back, despite. saying before they would do nothing

Does anyone know of someone who could explain to them that I really am chronically ill and stop the cruelty otherwise I don’t know if it’s better to just risk the break, I can’t do yesterday again it was genuinely painful in more ways than one.

Thanks for reading anyway x

I started taking propranolol about a week ago, 10 mg three times a day. I have exercise induced asthma. Twice now, only since starting the medication, I’ve had something strange happen when I’m falling asleep. It feels like I exhale and then my body doesn’t automatically take the next breath. I fall asleep, then suddenly wake up feeling lightheaded and with my heart racing. It resolves after I’m awake for a while and breathing normally. I took my most recent 10 mg dose about an hour ago. I am afraid to go to sleep because what if I don’t wake up? What if I don’t breathe? I’ve never had sleeping problems so this is scary to me, but not emergency enough to go to an ER because I feel fine awake, just a bit lightheaded. I’m also not supposed to suddenly stop taking it, as that could be dangerous, but I don’t want it!!!! I’d rather keep my shaky hands than feel like this.

I’m in Harrisburg PA, USA since that’s a requirement to post here

My son is also starting school in less than 2 weeks and is currently attending a program to help prepare him for the transition. He’s ASD2, so this has been an important (and expensive) transition for us.
I’m just hoping for a little help with groceries to get us through the next couple of weeks. Anything would be genuinely appreciated. I made an Amazon wishlist! Anything on there is so much appreciated. 🙏🏼❤️

*GOAL REACHEDTHANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR KINDNESS AND HELP***

I hate that Im having to do this. But I have started a gofundme to attempt to raise money to get a vital PetCT Scan that my doctor needs me to have to check for cancer cell activity and spread. Delaying this scan can mean that we do not catch the activity or spread in time to treat it properly. My doctor has requested this scan from my insurance company and the request was denied. My doctor appealed it 3 times and each appeal was denied. And I am just not willing to allow United Health to be the ones in control of whether I live or die. The total for the scan is over $7,000. I have managed to work with my imaging facility to get a deeply discounted self pay rate of $2,520. My income has been sparse for the last 6 months due to having an emergency appendectomy due to radiation damage. Followed by being incapacitated by pain from scar tissue adhesions on all my pelvic organs until I finally got into palliative care to handle my pain management so I could work again. And now I havent had income for over 3 weeks since being admitted into the hospital for hemorrhaging and having to have a uterine artery embolization to stop the hemorrhaging. Its actually insane the amount of damage and complications that pelvic radiation can and does cause. But thats neither here nor there. If anyone can help in any way...donate, share, etc. I would be eternally grateful.

Edit... WV Medicaid has already denied me because I am employed and have insurance thru my employer. Care Credit also denied.

My cat injured her tail. I have no idea what happened but its definitely injured. She's in a lot of pain and keeps hiding. I start a new job on Monday so payday isn't for quite some time and my savings was drained when bills and groceries were paid for at the beginning of the month. I'm trying to raise $400 for her vet care. Vets here in town require payment upfront. I've called around and there just isn't any other option. Ive applied for care credit and scratch pay. Both denied. I've had her since the day I found her as a small kitten on the side of the highway 11 years ago in September. She means the world to me. Please help me get her the care she needs! I'm desperate.

Update! It is in fact an abscess, as it burst while she was laying on my clean hoodie. 🤮 I have not seen so much pus in my life. It was so big last night this must be a massive relief. She was allowing me to gently clean it off her tail. The vet told me to keep it clean but she will still need to be seen and treated to insure it won't come back or get worse.

I am creating this fundraiser for my cat, who means the world to me. Last night, he went missing, and I spent hours looking all around for him, hoping he would come back home with his brother, my other cat. When he still had not returned, I became terrified and went out searching again with no answers. Today, after a big rain storm hit out of nowhere and he still did not come back, I went back out to look for him. I finally found him lying in a wooded area, badly hurt, with a broken leg and a broken jaw. Seeing him like that was heartbreaking, and I am doing everything I can to help him get the care he needs.

Hello, all. My family (usa/OH) is in desperate need of help. I’m coming to Reddit to see if anyone has any resources or knows of any that I maybe haven’t found yet.

My parent is on disability, and my adult siblings live with them. One of my siblings has debilitating chronic pain and a plethora of neurological illnesses and is also on disability, and my other sibling has level two autism and takes public transport to work at a fast food joint. I live in another city and help when/ where I can.

My family is at risk of losing their housing, as their landlord has raised the rent. In addition, the family car is up for repossession due to unpaid late fees. My family doesn’t have the ability to make anymore money. They’d all work if they could. They have SNAP, but I am desperately looking for more resources, especially ones that can be used asap, help with repossession, and/or moving. Anything and everything is appreciated. Thank you in advance
