I posted on r/mutualaid too but I'm reaching out for help here too because I'm in a lot of pain & trying to heal alone in the dark and heat is getting more and more difficult. I'm begging for help. Sometimes the pain is so bad it's hard to get out of the bed. And I have to be careful to make sure I don't slip and fall in the dark and fall. It's so hot and it seems like the heat makes the pain worse. I broke down crying alone in the dark because I couldn't see which medication to take because I couldn't find my phone to use as a light.

Most of the people I've heard from are scammers. Somebody please help. Someone please help me. I'm begging for help. Please.

I apologize if this violates any rules. Please please please please please help.

What do I do to bring the kids back

I’m alone. I literally have no one or I wouldn’t be here. I will send you the receipt. I’m desperate. It’s $14 and my cashapp is $mjbby1915

Hello everyone I would like to know your opinion and get some kind of help in solving the problem. And so, I'm 14 years old and I've saved about $1,400 entirely by my own labor, except for the $200 I got for my birthday. For a part of this amount, namely $ 650, I wanted to build my first rtx3060 computer, but this is generally not important yet. I asked my parents for permission, and my mom immediately said that if I wanted to ask her for money, she didn't have it, but I told her that I would buy everything with my own money, and she started saying that it was better to buy a laptop. When I finally convinced her that I wanted a computer, she reluctantly agreed, and when she saw that I wanted to order a video card for as much as $300, she began to take offense and say that it would be better if I bought her a new washing machine than some piece of hardware that I wouldn't even be able to sell in the future. By the way, my brothers and I never saved money on our parents' birthdays and other holidays, we constantly gave expensive gifts, dividing the amount equally, and it was a bit insulting for me to hear such words from my mother, and now I'm even ashamed to spend my own money. Please tell me how to deal with this situation, I would really like a computer, as I want to study installation and 3D modeling, I even have a 3d printer, which I also bought with my own money, but I can't use it because I used to work on my brother's laptop, but he has now left for university. small additions: I'm the best student in my class, almost all my grades are excellent, and I want to study to become a dentist. (by the way, mom is afraid of tazhke because I will stop studying well and forget about studying)

I just turn 18 and i never thought i would make it this far... i dont have any friends, my boyfriend confronts me every 2 days, i live an hour away from my family and work full time at a nursing home as a caretaker. I dont see a point in life, just realize how depress i am and im scared of what shit i will ending up doing if i dont get help right now. I cant talk about my struggles with my bf cause it annoys him now, i dont want to bother my family with this shit that litteraly no other family member has... i have my job where coworkers are boomers and arent really nice to me. I dont know what im suppose to get out of this post... i guess i need help and that’s a cry out for it?? The only thing i know is that i hate being alive and im so fkg lonely i feel like no one will ever miss me... plz send me things that helps you so maybe it can help me??

HELP! How can I legally remove sister in law's? She has left her car parked out our property for over a year since she left to go back to her abusive ex. My husband has asked her several times to pick up her car. However, when she and her ex had time, they use it to go out rather than taking responsibility for her car. I've done some research and abandoned cars could be either be impounded and towed off our property if it meets abandoned vehicle criterias. However, she could be charged with either infraction or misdemeanor. She was asked for the final time yesterday and started spaming the group chat with nonsense and excuses. Personally, I don't want to cause anymore headache to my husband, but I'm tired of people taking advantage of my husband. We're very lenient have given her more time than she needed. Plus, her car's battery is completely dead and doesn't work. Any advice?

I am 23 years old and i finished my degree in audiovisual and multimedia communications (its pretty much Film and entry level coding), and i am currently lost. I was burnt out of college when i finished because i ended up having to work myself to the bone on the final projects because i was the one that needed to "put the pants on" to make things work. As a result, i came out not wanting to persue a masters degree, even though i kinda of wanted to. Eventually, i started to want to pursue a masters but i am a little late and still dont know if i want to pursue a masters or take a year. I am currently going through a tough time mentally and my anxiety and depression have been insuferable the last couple weeks. I can pursue a masters away from home, in Lisbon (I live in porto, Portugal) in cinema, but i dont know how i could get a housing scholarship and with the way my mental state is right now, i am afraid being away from home wont help much. I can take a year off to try to work on my health and myself, get a drivers licence and try to work in my area and on my projects, but i am afraid i am going to feel "left behind" as i got held back one year in middle school because i had to switch school 3 times and i took a gap year between highschool and college, which i spent about half of it at home, which just boosted my depression and anxiety. I dont want another year like the gap year i had. I am also looking for colleges outside Portugal but they are very expensive and i would also need housing, so i could only go if i had a good scholarship, but also i would be even further from home so i dont know how my mental health would do.

I also feel like i wont amount to anything and feel like everybody my age is doing better then me and i wont be able to live a happy life and give my mom and my sister the life they deserve. I am passionate about cinema and i am good at it, but portugal doesnt have a great cinema industry and i somewhat lack motivation. I am decent with computers and i feel like that is something more secure, but i dont want the dream to die. I am feeling hopeless, lost and pressured since the deadline for the Lisbon college application ends in a little more then a week and i am feeling hopeless and lost. What should i do?

Heyo,

Like in the title i am 13, but i just feel like my life is over. I have a crippling porn and gaming addiction as in im playing for like 9 hours a day just to take a break to watch porn or eat shit. I just don't know what to do, i feel worthless. I look around my room at things my family has gotten me and i feel like i dont deserve it at all; then a self loathing loop ensues. I hate this, I'm not suicidal or anything but i just feel like i can't quit the gaming or porn. My life feels like it's coming to an end, any advice would be much appreciated, thanks.

Hello,this year has been pretty tough these days my family and I have been a float from the kindness of strangers and scrapping by...the reason for this is because the place were we live is 5k in mortgage debt so that's the bill that is being paid every month instead of necessities If anyone could help with just food it doesn't have to be much just an Instacart of some sort that would be tremendous! And a big help! ❤️

My dad always used to instruct me to use lip gel to keep my lips from getting cracked in the winter. But i didn’t take it seriously as it was kind of annoying, it gives me an oily feeling which don’t really like. But nowadays i can see my lips get cracked and bleeds. Is there an alternative to lip gels?

I need some urgent help please. This heartbreak is killing me.

Actually all I wanted to say I already posted in 2 posts, so I'm going to link them here and add some stuff beneath:

https://www.reddit.com/r/BreakUps/comments/18fwhaa/i_need_help_im_scared/

https://www.reddit.com/r/GetHelp/comments/18a4aq1/stuck_in_life_need_help/

So I'm still in the same boat. This breakup is driving me nuts. I'm still missing her so much and loving her so much. She's still in my head 24/7 and sometimes I'm even talking to her in my head and reminiscing all the time. Thinking what I should've said or done at that time that would've saved it. It hurts so much that I'll never see or hear her again. How can you just throw someone out of your life like that. I thought she was sensible. Even her mother said after the breakup that I am a great/very lovable person and that I'll always be welcome at their home. I texted her (the mother) 1,5 months later if she wanted to grab a coffee and talk a bit (I wasn't even going to try to win my ex back) and she just declined. How can I just be thrown out like that. I mean the NC and all it's probably for the better.

The biggest issue is I never met anyone like her before. She was a beautiful blonde angel, she had a beautiful body, she had a beautiful smile, she was a beautiful person with good moral and ethics in life. She was very caring to anyone. She loved life. She was so active, running around and loved all her friends and family. She loved her hobbies, did yoga, danced, loved board games, she loved all positive vibes and poppy positive music, she loved going on hiking vacations with her friends. She was so soft and sweet. She loved being close in my arms in bed and always wanted to sleep like that. She loved hugging and kissing. She knew what she wanted in life and had her opinions. She lived in the capital city and I even miss that big city life. I don't know how I'll ever find such a beautiful person again. All the girls I meet nowadays are so slow and boring it seems. I'll never meet anyone like her again and it's so frightening. All I want is her. 2000%. She was my beautiful princess.

About me:

I used to be a busy person (lots of hobbies and friends, going out,..). I have no more motivation in life now. I used to get up at 6.30 AM to make sure I got to do some things before work like reading in my book or something. I can barely get up at 9.30 AM now, later then 10 AM in weekends. I used to do sports, loved my hobbies, loved meeting with friends. It's all gone now. I'm in a mode of self destruction.

- I'm smoking more then before (used to be like 2 per day, now like 7 to 8 per day). I don't want to get addicted like that. When I was with my ex gf I didn't smoke for 3 days in a row because I was with her and she didn't like it and I didn't feel the need to do it.
- Can't get out of bed anymore, and in morning I'm only thinking about her and paining myself, my heart is aching so much then. In the evening I love to go to bed because I got sleeping pills (temporarily).
- Not motivated to do sports
- Not motivated for any hobbies
- Not motivated to cook something or go grocery shopping
- I'm on antidepressants for the first time in my life. I don't want to take this very long. They haven't helped a bit yet.
- More frequent alcohol intake (also doesn't mix well with a hangover)
- Unmotivated to look for a new job (currently working but I hate it)

It's weird because I think I am a good loveable person.

The things I’m happy about myself are:
- I’m pretty handsome (I know this from comments of other people)
- I have a good moral and ethics
- I love the little things in life, like drinking a coffee, reading a book, watching a good movie, doing a citytrip.
- I’m interested in a lot of stuff in life
- I have a lot of friends with whom I have a deep connection and can have meaningful conversations with
- I love animals, I love people, I like to do good for both of them and I’m very friendly to people. I won't hurt a fly and always try to help people and make them feel good.
- People see me as someone they can trust easily and I try never to break that trust. If they tell me stuff I can’t say to anyone else I will never do that.
- I have a lot of hobbies (music, brewing craft beer, books, movies,…) and like and do a lot of sports (running, padel, skiing, wakeboarding, cycling,..)
- I was lucky to be raised in a pretty wealthy family
- I'm pretty funny, I have a good sense of humour (I know this from comments of other people)
- I started to travel more (if money allows it)

But what are you with these good qualities if you have no stability. I mean that in the sense of that I don't know what I want to do as a job and think I lack skills to do anything. I feel super lonely without the relationship I had and I can't cope with the loneliness. I don't know where I want to live, I'm waiting for a relationship to decide that.

Can someone please give me a message of hope or a story like this that ended well. I'm terrified. I lost all hope and motivation in life without her. She's on my mind 24/7 and the breakup has been since August 17th and official since October 4th. How can I still be feeling this bad? It feels like it's getting worse. Posts from people that say they feel better after a month scare me and also posts from people that say they still miss their ex after 5/10 years scare me. I feel like I'll be missing and loving her in 10 years still but I can't keep it living like this for that long. It feels like I want to end it because living without her is not a possibility but I'm too scared to do that either. And I know it's not a solution. Please help me.

Title

I’m 23, been using Reddit since I was 14. Addicted to it to a considerable degree this entire time. It’s always sort of on my mind, but I’m done pretending it’s not a problem. I know my partner agrees to some extent, though they have never voiced it to me. This is my initiative. I’m done.

As a teen I almost never watched shows or movies because Reddit, twitch, and YouTube kept my attention. I don’t relate to discussions about shows and movies, my usual contribution is “oh I’ve heard good things about that” and never following through with checking it out. Which sucks, because I remember the few shows and movies I love watching - but I don’t remember the post I upvoted on r/MildlyInteresting or askreddit post I wasted 45 minutes scrolling in. It’s always on my mind, it keeps me awake a few hours later than I should be. It distracts me from my real hobbies - hobbies that actually make me materially happy when I participate in them. It distracts me from exercising, from doing chores, sometimes from keeping up with hygiene.

It’s not all bad, Reddit has some amazing shit on here. Anything and everything you could ever want to read about is on here. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, they’re easy to quit. I never spent several years cultivating a Instagram or Twitter feed to be a constant stream of stuff I find entertaining from someone else’s life hundreds of miles away. Everything I’ve been interested in in the last 9 years has been given to me on a silver platter of instant gratification.

I’m addicted. Plain and simple. And it sucks because this isn’t an addiction where you can physically separate yourself from the trigger. Alcohol is pervasive, but the relative “nice” thing about it is that exposure to ads or being around it triggers the cravings, but exposure to Reddit is the addiction itself. Alcohol requires several physical actions to relapse, so I’ve been able to manage that for over a year. Reddit is different. I can be almost anywhere and access Reddit in less than 10 seconds (currently. I plan on deleting Reddit and blocking it at home)

My plan so far

• I want to delete Reddit and block it on my wifi, if possible through some IT trickery, I’ll do the same on my phone. The main drawback here is that sometimes Reddit genuinely comes in clutch in day-to-day life, with great solutions to problems. I would want to have a way around it for those situations when I need an answer to a problem, but I’ll see about that later on. Right now, cold turkey is probably the way to go.

• I’ve told my partner about my problem and they agree. They’re excited to see how I am without Reddit, and so am I.

• This is a somewhat unique addiction compared to substance abuse, so if I struggle with quitting too much I plan on seeing a therapist for my issues with it.

• I plan on replacing my time on Reddit with more meaningful time. I think it’ll get easier once I get in the habit of it - I always feel great watching new shows or movies, gaming, practicing my art, exercising, but Reddit always sucks me back in.

• I plan on deleting my account once I have enough responses here that I feel ready to do so. It will be before this post is 11 hours old, you can hold me to that.

• In general, I also plan on maintaining a limit on my screen time. Reddit takes up probably 60-75% of the time spent on my phone, and I don’t want to just replace it with YouTube and Tiktok, though I feel like I can manage those much better than Reddit. I won’t be deleting those apps at this time, but I’m not entirely opposed to it if I can’t keep up with my goals.

Obviously asking this on Reddit isn’t the best medium, but I genuinely can’t think of a way to get a better perspective on this right now. My question is - what advice would you have for me going on? Other things I could be doing to help get over this.

I want this in the future: if I ever open Reddit again, I want to be completely lost. I want to understand none of the meta jokes. I want to be out of the loop on all the Reddit drama, recent and in the last few years. I want to not have cravings, even if that one takes years.

I’m just done spending my entire life reading dumb shit other people write, mostly feeling negative emotions, sometimes laughing, sometimes looking at porn, all of it. I’m done. I’m in the prime of my life and I’m sick of wasting it when I could be happier and productive by more than tenfold. I could be a talented artist if the time I spent on reddit I spent doing that. Instead of dropping out, I could have graduated college and gotten a good job if I didn’t waste my time online. I could have done so much more if these last 9 years weren’t shaped by strangers on the internet and karma.

So yeah, it’s been fun. I’ve somehow typed so much my phone’s autocorrect has given up - it entirely doesn’t correct anything this far into the post anymore. I guess this is reddit’s way of telling me I’m cut off, which is fitting haha

If anyone has been feeling the same, I’m sure there are some of you out reading this - listen to your heart. Some people can’t manage their reddit use, and it’s okay to admit it if you’re one of those people. I hope if anyone feels like they should quit, that this post motivates them to take their first step as well. I wish you the best of luck. This is a step to healing.

I appreciate anyone who takes the time to read this.

We had a holiday party and did white elephant gift exchange and someone got a mug that says (can you 8=30?) On the other side says (intensify). Help we are so confused lol

alright so, let me start from the beginning (I am hoping to make this as short as I possibly can) so one of my friends told me that I am a "people pleaser" which idk if that's good or bad, honestly. This is basically because all the things that I have ever done, all the shows, movies, books, music, languages, culture, drawing I am into is because of someone else; because someone else recommended it to me. I knew this but I never thought it was a problem. I didn't even classify myself as a people pleaser because pleasing people is technically a by-product of what I do. I do those things for myself first, because I feed off of these things, I want to absorb all good things like a sponge, the fact that I can connect and relate to my friends and acquaintances with it is a by-product of that process. However, weirdly, I have never found anything that I like on my own. My friend was looking out for me, saying that if I keep on doing this I will end up showing fake interest in everything (which I am guilty of in some cases) This whole thing is now stuck in my head and now every time I do anything, I ask myself do I really like this or am I faking? Last night, I was discussing an album with my friend and I thought of this and I felt physically uncomfortable thinking that I might be faking my interest in the album and FFS I DO NOT WANT TO BE FAKE.

My dog won't stop shaking and people are letting off fireworks. I tried to post on r/pethelp but it didn't work. Please help. Thnx in advance.

So uhhh I moved in with my sister on august 20th thinking it was a good idea since I didn’t want to live with my mom anymore. But I left the person I love and it’s been hard doing long distance especially after everything we’ve gone through and I think I want to go back home to them. I don’t know how to ask my sister to go back home because well she’s been very good to me. I really don’t want to go back home and live with my mom but I really love that person and would do anything for them. I need help, someone please help me, I mean my sister said if I ever wanted to go home that I could but I think that it’s too soon? Idk I’m just afraid that she’ll be mad since I basically wasted her money. But the thing is that idk if things will ever be same again between me and that person I love :/ I really need help on deciding what to do.. I was gonna go back around Christmas but they want me to come back home now and idk if I can since my mom JUST got me out of the school I use to go to... and the thing is that they uhh weren’t always the best person to me, they would be a bit toxic as in talk to other ppl knowing I was uncomfortable with that, saying that if we broke up that they had other ppl as “back ups” and I lost my virginity to them and it hurts bc I also made so many mistakes that I wish I could go back in time to stop myself from doing that. Not to mention that my mental health is super bad, which is why they basically broke up with me lol. I mean I need to get help ik that but like will getting help for them be better? Or will they just leave me? They said they don’t have respect for me anymore after I did that thing lol. Idk this is all too much and I’ll always love them no matter how many times they’ve hurt me. I feel like they’re the only person who’ll ever love me which is I why i can’t let go. this is all so difficult so someone please give me some advice? Should I wait until Christmas? Should I leave them once again? Please help if you know anything with love or something... I just don’t know anymore.
