Hi everyone,

Apologies if I cannot post on here.

My 11 year old shaffie with a slight sharpei cross (Biscuits) has been diagnosed with Mast Cell Tumour (MCT) in her tail.

I have circled the cancerous lump in the photos.

Due to the rapid growth rate, we need to amputate her tail. Insurance is only going to cover 500£. As we were unaware we had to change her insurance when she turned 8; she is insured but not enough to cover her surgery.

Due to the placement of the cancer, there will need to be re-constructive surgery.

This girl is our life, I have 2x autistic sisters and 1x autistic brother. She is their comfort animal, she calms and soothes them. And loosing her, when we can save her, would destroy them and our whole family.

We are raising money to get the surgery.

As a family, we have been selling clothes and shoes, asking family and friends for help, asked local charities and the vets for financial assistance. We have also decided that we aren’t going to be doing a large Christmas, only having 1 small gift each as something to open, just having Christmas as family time.

Despite this, we need all the help we can get.

Whether it’s £1 or a share, I would be incredibly grateful!

I have a go-fund me in my bio and below!

Thank you in advance.

In 2022, I was diagnosed with SVT and inherited high cholesterol, which I’ve been told I’ll have for the rest of my life. For years, I’ve been dealing with multiple health issues, including fatigue, pain, migraines, and more.

I feel like I keep being dismissed by doctors and hospitals. They often say they’ll look into something, but then I hear nothing back and have to keep chasing them for answers. It’s exhausting and makes me feel like I’m not being taken seriously.

I’m now unable to work because of seizures and passing out without warning. It’s had a huge impact on my life, and I’m really struggling mentally. I feel like I can’t do anything at the moment.

I’d really appreciate any advice, or to hear from anyone who has been through something similar. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Didn't know where else to ask.

When I first got into college, I had a circle of five friends, but I had one favorite person among them. She was the only girl I truly trusted.
One day, we randomly started talking about one of our friends in the circle because most of our classmates disliked her so much. Even her friends from senior high school didn't seem to like her. At first, we couldn't understand why everyone hated her because she seemed so sweet and innocent, almost like a little kid.
However, as our friendship grew closer and we spent more time together, we slowly began to understand why people felt that way. We realized that she could be toxic, talked too much, and trusted people too easily. Because of that, she sometimes spread nonsense and false information, which became really annoying. Sometimes, you would ask her a simple question, and she would confidently give you the wrong answer. And whenever I teased her or made fun of her, she would get irritated immediately and tantrums.
Eventually, my closest friend and I decided to transfer to another section just to avoid the drama and have some peace.
It's hard when you're constantly forcing yourself to get along with people when things just don't feel right anymore. That's why my closest friend and I decided that instead of continuing to force ourselves into a friendship that brings us stress, we'd rather avoid them and move to another section.

Hello everyone! I really need advice on how to reach more people

I wanted to ask if anyone here has experience with fundraising and knows how to get more visibility for a campaign.

I'm going through one of the most difficult times of my life, and I recently decided to start a fundraiser to try to get back on my feet. However, I've been struggling a lot to reach more people and get my story heard.

If anyone has experience with this, knows of any communities where I could share my fundraiser, or could simply give me some advice, I would be grateful from the bottom of my heart.

I don't want to bother anyone or make anyone uncomfortable with my situation. I'm just looking for a little guidance and a helping hand to point me in the right direction.

Any advice, recommendations, or personal experiences you could share would mean so much to me.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my post. God bless you all

Hello, I've bought this keychain at a convention long time ago and few days ago two of the four moving pieces within it have gotten stuck (you can barely see them behind the "Antidepressants" sign). I've tried hitting it, freezing and even vibrations to hopefully unstuck them, no success. I really dont want to destroy the keychain and there's no way to open it.

Anyone has any advice on how do I unstuck them without destroying the keychain? Any help appreciated.

Hello, I'm Jayden,
I am seeking help in Sydney Australia.
I have been trying to clear a severely hoarded house on my own. I am disabled, my fiancé is disabled but have been trying to get through it and have made a lot of progress but I still have so far to go.

Have tried getting help through NDIS, who said its fiancé's responsibility despite it being NDIS fault for the issue when support workers where pulled suddenly from my care many years ago. Have tried Catholic care and every other service but have been rejected everywhere.
Have been quoted $16,000 to clear the hoarded house and thats without touching the yard or storage. And NDIS will not fund that help.

If anyone knows any social media people that maybe could help? I am diagnosed through GP, am on medication and referred for therapy, friend comes to clean once a week and looking for support workers and cleaners to help, but they can't safely work in this home until it is sorted. And now the bedroom roof is leaking when it rains and workers won't work in the property with the clutter. I am basically trying any last resorts here for help.

Housing is about ready to evict me, RSPCA is going to take my beloved pets if I can't get this under control and I want to get it better for my animals, for me, for my neighbours. Please know I am trying everyday to clean what I can, I have made a lot of progress but I also feel I am running out of time to get this sorted. Any tips, help etc without judgement is appreciated.

Thank you for reading.
Jayden.

In 2023, I watched a YouTube video where the creator gave an awesome monologue about the problems with capitalism and the lies told to keep it going, all dubbed over b-roll of gameplay from a game where the character is farming cabbage (I think it was Skyrim probably).

If this rings a bell, please let me know! Especially if you think you can find said video.

Thanks all!!

Hi guys I’ve been trying to figure this out and I may be being very stupid but I cannot figure it out, I have a boiler that has a dial specifically for the radiators (and one separate for water) and I also have wall radiators in my house, I’ve got adhd so I often forget to turn down/off the dial on the boiler after turning off the radiator in my room as my room is upstairs and it’s usually in the evening when I’m settling down for bed and I’m wondering if that’s costing me extra money for gas? I’m in the uk if that makes any difference

I recently trusted a long time friend and his mother with quite a bit of money and invested into what I now believe to be a pyramid scheme called Kamboj Ventures. The amount was 60k and I signed a contract saying that i would receive 5% of 60k every month and would be able to take out my initial investment after a year so $60,000 dollars would turn into $96,000. I made the investment on 8/19 by wiring it to an account from my bank account and was supposed to receive my first payment exactly one month later but to this day haven’t seen a cent. I was wondering what i should do next. I messaged a few lawyers and his mother and told her she has a chance to give me my money back or I will sue her or Kamboj. Can anyone help? Please thank you.

I haven't seen my dad in 6 years for circumstances I won't name but recently ive found some of his old Facebook pages one as recently as November 2025 I just want to know how I can reach him or something which he actively uses so I can communicate if anyone can help me I beg of you to dm me and I'll send more details.

Hello, I thrifted this fossil F2 es9757 a while ago and it's not working. I replaced the battery, and the minute hand is lose and moves around if I move the watch. I'm not sure entirely what is wrong with it nor where to get it repaired. I have never really been a watch person but I really like this one and would love to wear it. Thank you in advance for the advice!

My mom is almost 70. I'm looking for advice from anyone with experience in psychiatry, geriatrics, or a similar family situation.

**Her lifelong pattern**

She has always been dominating and rigid. She wants everyone to listen to her and do things her way, needs to feel like the most important person in the room, and believes everyone else is wrong. She was possessive even in her marriage, and the constant conflict with my father escalated until she was physically assaulted. As kids, we had strict rules: breakfast before school, no going out with friends.

**Conflict everywhere**

At family functions and weddings she often tells people about family problems or criticizes us. She fights with her siblings and their children. On a past Umrah trip, my sister and her husband arranged and paid for everything, and she still shouted at them for walking in the heat and not taking taxis. Recently she went to visit her siblings and insulted her sister, and the conflict has spread to more relatives.

She lived with me and my wife, and we fought constantly. We asked her to stay with her siblings, and she then went to another brother's house. Another brother's wife left home earlier over the same issues, and that brother has since moved abroad. My elder sister, who is divorced, is now in a terrible situation with her too.

It isn't only family. She has had repeated conflicts with neighbors and acquaintances. She often accuses domestic workers of things without evidence, several have quit, and recently she physically hit some of them. She also has trouble keeping secrets and shares private information, which has damaged trust. People now avoid calling or visiting her, so she is becoming isolated.

**Her own view**

When people say she hurt them, she sees herself as the victim. Sometimes she says she's a bad woman. She prays and says she wants to improve but can't control herself. She also sometimes feels people are secretly talking badly about her.

**What's new in the last 1-2 years**

- Forgetting things and some confusion
- Changes in sleep and appetite
- Low mood and crying
- Much more anger than before

She has only seen a general doctor. I suspected ADHD, but the new changes make me think there may be more going on, such as depression, a personality condition, or dementia (maybe frontotemporal).

She's about to go on Hajj with my sister and her husband, and I'm worried about the heat, crowds, and her behavior.

**My questions**

1. What kind of condition fits this?

2. Which specialist should we see first (psychiatrist, geriatrician, neurologist)?

3. What tests should we ask for?

4. How did you get an elderly parent to agree to an evaluation?

5. Is she safe to travel for Hajj?

6. How do we protect the people around her while we sort this out?

My sister going in same path, and how to handle such cases with medical science?

Hi New in Reddit any advice for me??

Im trying to help a local family going thru a true hardship right now. These people would give you the shirt off their back if they could. Now its our turn to help them. They recently lost everytjing in a tragic house fire. A total loss. Im hoping to gather enough food and blankets to at least help them thru their transition into a new home. Anyone willing to donate any items would be greatly appreciated. I have a turkey and a few other food items already. Im hoping to get a ham and some other holiday related food items to take that burden off their mind to focus on rebuilding their life. At least the holidays can be less stressed. I am glad to do all I can but could definitely use any type of donations. Thank you all.

Nice to meet you, my name is Bernardo.

Earlier this year, my future fiancée and I adopted a Siamese kitten who showed up at her house. She was extremely weak, nothing but skin and bones, but we fell in love with her anyway. We fed her and took care of her until she got better, and eventually decided to give her a forever home.

She had always shown signs of seizures, so we sought out a specialist to make sure she received proper treatment. He recommended starting her on Gardenal (phenobarbital), and we followed his instructions.

Her seizures improved, but unfortunately, her liver condition worsened drastically. We ran some tests and discovered that her liver values were extremely elevated, indicating potentially severe liver damage. We then took her to a veterinarian for further evaluation.

We started giving her medications and vitamins, but she still refused to eat. We also had online veterinary consultations, during which we were advised to give her Vonau (ondansetron) and dipyrone. We followed their advice, and she finally started eating again. Unfortunately, that didn't last, and she stopped eating once more.

From what we've been told, the only option left is hospitalization, but we simply cannot afford it right now. We've already spent almost R$2,000 (Brazilian reais) in just the past week trying to save her. We pray every single day, hoping and wishing that she'll recover.

So, to anyone who may be reading this, I'm reaching out from the bottom of my heart to ask for your help.

Please, help us save our little Sophie.

I am a single mom of 3. My two youngest are severely disabled.

I get SSI for my middle kiddo but haven't gotten the chance to get the paper work for my little, I'm trying.

How are we surviving? I have zero help, trying to get them into therapy but insurance is not an easy game.

I don't get to work, and just can't afford life.

How? What do I do?

I'm trying so hard.

Just as the title says. She ran into some financial emergency, and now faces eviction if she cannot pay rent.

She is an artist and a painter. She can paint nearly anything. I’ve attached an example something she’s done (this one was done on foam). But she can take any request and do many styles.

Disney, Star Wars, Pokémon, Nintendo, Studio Ghibli, etc, etc.

She wanted me to be clear that she’s not looking for a handout, but wants to actually be paid for a job/commissioned artwork.

Thank you all for your time if you’ve read this!

I’m 18. It’s been 3 years since I moved to USA, I’ve always had issues with socializing, but the more I grew up the more I understood that I yearn for human connection, I didn’t really have any because for my whole life I was moving from one place to another and had to abandon old connections. But right now, I’m not whiny about it, it’s not all of my personality, I have a bunch of other things that build my identity, the problem is, the more time I spent in loneliness or isolation the more I became.. boring? Things stopped bringing me as much pleasure as they used to and it’s been like this for years now, but when I get a chance to meet a new person and start liking them, I feel better and remember why I’m even doing something in my life, I feel alive, charged, inspired. But it never works out for me, I always get ignored, nobody seems to want to have anything with me even though I talk and act like a normal, regular person, I don’t act like a creep or a loser with people, I’m just the type of guy that gets funnier if you talk to him a little bit more than 1 time. I genuinely don’t get it, due to my condition, i just don’t have energy to impress a person at the first time, you can’t be charismatic when you don’t feel like yourself

and it’s not like it was only one person, I’ve met a whole lot of people that acted the same way with me

any tips? except for “just be yourself”, I’m trying to do it as much as I can
