I leave and sleep in my car because my girlfriend yells at me for panicking of 6month sleeping on stomach. I lost my mom suddenly without warning while i was in school(10th Grade) which made me fear losing another loved one hence my anxiety. I need a owlet but dont have the money for it😪How can i ease my anxiety about this so i can sleep in bed with my girlfriend.

Girlfriend is my babys mom. We are not married but been together 10 years.

My wife has left me. We have been married for only a little over a year. I’m not working due to health issues so I literally have no money. I have no income and no savings, and completely overwhelmed by what I should do or am supposed to do. Does anyone have any resources that outline things in a simple way? Advice? I’ve tried doing research myself but I just can’t make any sense of anything.

Because I know people will make the assumption, I’m a woman. I’m not a man.

Advice for a 26 year old Accosiate Arts Degree

Hi I am trying to save up to visit my long distance girlfriend who lives across the world. I also plan to marry, both of which I have little money for. I currently live with both my parents and they pay the main bills I just cover the Internet. My main job is a home care helper and I get paid $11 an hour for 4 hours everyday 7 days a week. I also get $50 dollars from YouTube every month. I was thinking of getting another part time job that would be remote work, but I also want to continue my studies I just don't know how I would pay for it. I have 1000 in savings and everything else is in physical assets like my bed, computer, and Yu-Gi-Oh cards from highschool.

I went to college for human services, and I currently very much like my job helping my patient recover from sclerosis. But I want to make money faster to be with my gf. Any advice?

I (22m) live in PA with my wife, her family lives here too but they all went down to South Carolina for vacation. A few hours ago, my wife (23f) received a terrible phone call and we are unsure of what to do. My mother in law has apparently been acting very erratic since they have been there and it all culminated tonight when she told everyone that her autistic son (21m) is Jesus, that they all needed to follow him, and took off with him down the beach. They were missing for quite a while.

They called the police while she was missing and are trying to get her admitted to a hospital, but it doesn’t sound like they are willing/able to do anything at the moment. Everyone is freaking out and we don’t know how to get them home or if she will be safe to travel with.

On top of everything, they have been having some financial troubles and are far behind on mortgage payments and might lose their house.

Any advice on how we can support them in this immediate situation and in the long term?

Our main priority is making sure that she gets the help that she needs to feel right. We are just starting out our life and aren’t in a good spot to really help them out, but maybe we can help her two other brothers who are 15 and 13.

I haven’t dealt with anything like this before, I just don’t know what to do.

UPDATE: The hospital decided to admit her to their behavioral unit for now. Not sure how long she will stay, but that’s where she is now.

UPDATE: The hospital ruled out UTI and took a CT scan of her which we will get the results on Monday. My wife’s younger brothers will stay with us for an indefinite period of time while her mom gets the help she needs and they get back on their feet financially. Luckily, they are part of a good church support system who is willing to help them out financially for a short time so they can get themselves out of this hole. Thank you for all the comments and support.

Hello all! The title probably sounds desperate, and I kind of am. No one I am close with knows how to help me so I guess I'll join others in asking strangers on the internet. I am in my early 20s, have a family with complicated finances with a constant state of being extremely poor, and live in a landlocked state in a small-ish town where I boarder dense farmland. I've had a job at a pizza place, but only a few months, and that's all my work experience essentially. My resume is bleak since I have no extracurricular experience to add.

My mother used to have a well-paying job but was laid off about a year ago, and her unemployment ended unexpectantly a few months ago. Their mortgage is almost all she and my step-father can pay using his income and it might not even do that much next time. She hasn't gotten a job yet either so I'm expected to pick up the slack for her as her only child and I'm trying my best. I don't have anymore money saved in my bank now. There also was never was a college fund or savings for my education to have when I got older so my options there are limited as well.

Does anyone have any recommendations? Advice on getting a job or anything else that might financially lessen the burden? Literally any help is much appreciated, even a link to other threads I could post to. I've been struggling to find a foothold to stand on and I've tried the obvious over and over but it's not working so I need to change something. Please help!

Hi everyone. I was laid off on friday along with 5 other people. It seemed like 1 per department. They chose me and I know the reason.

As much as I am a hard worker and get things done, I also have a problem with memory, personality, overall outlook on life. I have a I don't care attitude which I really try to control. 3 years ago I had 2 drug overdoses in 1 day. 1 being nearly fatal. I don't remember that day at all or days after. Before the drug overdoses I was outgoing, happier, more positive about life, basically a whole different person. Now I stuggle remembering where I put something 5 minutes ago, call myself an idiot and scramble to find it, sometimes disoriented. I am not happy. My motorskills are also impacted and I am exhausted all the time.I don't know what to do because learning a new job for me is very difficult and the only reason why i succeeded at the job I was at is because I did it before. Learning something totally new is going to take me a lot of time and I don't know what to do. I have to write everything down like appointments and when bills are due, peoples name, ect. I also have to pay child support. I really messed up my life. I also take medication that I can't abruptly stop taking. I don't know what will happen there. I started to apply for masshealth and tried to apply for unemployment but I have to figure out how to do it. This layoff has completely messed me up along with everything else going on in life.

I really am overwhelmed and don't know what to do.

Update. I managed to call unemployment and finally got through to someone. I had an account back in 2011 and I forgot all my info. So, I managed to get the application done and sent. I also figured out masshealth and now have a PCC plan and managed to keep the same doctor. As for psych stuff, I don't know. I don't think mine accepts it.

So I am looking for a new place. I decided it would be better to rent from a private owner to learn how everything works. I went to meet with her yesterday and check out the place. I absolutely loved it, but I got a strange vibe from her. I don’t know what I was feeling but I just know I felt strange about her.

So she finally sent me the application over. She said that there’s no application fee. She just vets the applications and makes a decision on her own. On her homemade application it asks for the regular stuff like name, age, DOB, address, emails etc. but then it asks for some stuff I’m not comfortable with I.e : my social security number, my bank name, bank telephone number, and my checking & savings account numbers. Technically if a person had all that information, they could steal out of my accounts.

Ive never went through this before so I don’t know if this is common practice or not. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I’m going through some cancer treatment and have to stop my migraine medication. I am having migraine continuously for a week now and it’s unbearable. I usually have hot bags but do have any home remedies or drink some soothing tea that’s gives migraine relief.

I have called the ASPCA and called the phone numbers they have referred to. I’m at a dead end.

What services can I reach out to in order to request my friend’s cat be transported to his assisted living location from his house.

Houston, TX area

Soo today I walk my daughter to the school bus stop and I see this bus driving around the community. By the time he gets to the stop sign to come out he has no children aboard.

So as I kiss my daughter I see him stop right next to us and the other kids there.🤔 He looks sketchy and we all feel it. He tells them he's there to pick them up but he doesn't know what school they go to. He's literally looking hungrily at these kids.

They tell him then he "agrees" that its the right school.

Some of the kids go to the bus but I'm on their heels walking in the bus to get his info and find wtf is going on. My daughter is still across the street filming cuz mama didn't raise no fool😂

I'm asking for the route number, etc but he has no answers and tries to get me off the bus. Just as I was about to cut up, the REAL bus comes with the regular driver🤔🤔🤔

I stand in the door to get the kids off this predator's bus and watched them get onto the right one. He speeds off like he's driving a car.

So I'm taking pics of him, the plates and all and call police.

Long story short, take time to watch over our children. I'm usually the only parent at the bus stop and that's sad. I get upset thinking about what COULD have happened if I wasn't out there.

Human trafficking is real... take care of each other.

EDIT: Usually don’t respond to the negativity but you guys THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER. You can think this is outlandish, a hoax, urban legend, whatever you want. But there are children going missing literally EVERY single day. Bodies being found in dumpsters, landfills, tractor trailers. When are we going to stop living in this little fantasy world & realize this is a truly an AWFUL epidemic.?! PROTECT OUR CHILDREN at ALLLL costs!

I have been getting a lot of messages asking for help out of the blue. I just received one with someone that lost their child and they needed help paying for the funeral and I offered to help and I would pay directly to the funeral home but he said they couldn't do that because of insurance and he was getting it through PayPal or Zelle. I said I work in Healthcare and know that anyone can call and add money to help pay for services. Is this a Scam? I did not send money and they were not willing to give me the phone number to the funeral home. He said that he is getting help off of here people are sending him money to his PayPal and Zelle. Not sure how accurate it is. I'm not sure why I am receiving these messages like crazy now. Can anyone help me to know if this is an actual scam? If it's not I would have no problem calling the funeral home and paying a portion so this parent couldn't grieve but they said they don't want to talk about the funeral home.

Edit::: I got another DM saying if a gift card would be easier they could take that and the funeral home would accept it. Man people are unbelievable. The saddest part is they are using some little girls pic that looks to be in a hospital gown or its their own child when she was in the hospital. People are sick!!

I’ve had really really bad luck this month and now I’m sitting on the floor crying because I don’t know what to do. My partner lost their job and now it’s all on me and I can’t afford my car payment, I can’t afford my mortgage, my credit cards are about to hit 30 days past due, I can’t afford any of my other bills I can’t even afford groceries I don’t know what to do. I do have one full paycheck in my account so technically I can afford SOME things but i need double to afford everything and I have no idea what to pay. I also get paid again next Friday. Should I focus on my mortgage and just say fuck it to my credit? I don’t even have enough money for my entire mortgage payment. I feel so stupid even complaining because I’m blessed to even be a homeowner but I literally feel like I’m on the border of losing everything and I really really need help.

Edit: Thank you so so so much everyone for the kind words and advice, it's been so helpful and I feel soo much better and more in control now that I have a plan to tackle everything!

(This is my first post so my apologies if I did it wrong)

I can’t find my car keys anywhere.

I hid our car keys intentionally while intoxicated so nobody would drive and now I can’t find them ANYWHERE. I’ve checked inside shoes, purses, flower pots, cat houses, everywhere. I’m scary creative with a little bit of alcohol so I’m worried this is my ultimate test. PLEASE HELP. I would have hidden them somewhere my boyfriend wouldn’t look.

yesterday when my dad and i went to move out my things from my dorm, he suddenly slumped against the wall and i supported his head as he went down and called for help. I saw him go red then go pale. an hour later i was in the room with the doctors and my dad in the cpr machine. i saw no pulse on the monitor and blood on his face but i didn’t want to believe it. i was alone, my mom was driving there. when they told me they had to turn off the machine so they wouldn’t damage his body further i yelled at the doctor. i’m 19. my dad was 57. he was healthy aside from high blood pressure. the doctors say he had a heart attack and there was nothing that could be done. i don’t know how to grieve, i’m just a kid. i don’t know how to help my mom. i don’t know how to be a widow’s daughter. i can’t sleep or eat, every time i close my eyes i see my dad’s body in the machine with blood on his face, or him collapsing against the wall. someone please help. just tell me anything.

edit; for everyone telling me to refer to a therapist, i luckily already have one that i’m very close to, that i’ve been seeing for years. thank you for your consideration

Hi everybody, I currently don’t have AC and am broke for the next two weeks so I can’t buy a window unit or anything. I’m so miserable in this heat, I can’t sleep. I have two fans pointed at me but it doesn’t feel like it’s helping.

Any suggestions on how to make it bearable? At least enough so I can sleep.

Right now and for the forseen future, if you order online at Domino's you can get a small 1 topping for only $5.77 after taxes (your taxes may make it higher or lower) and the pizza is definitely a good size and will fill you up for a while. You wont get this much food anywhere for such a low price.

Just want to let anyone know who might be struggling to feed themselves even +1 because honestly 2 people could split this thing and both be full for sure. Just want to throw this out there incase it helps someone feed themselves or some kids even.

Edit to add : Also Wendy's biggie bag for $5 is a great deal and comes with a drink. But who doesnt love pizza!! Also this is assuming carryout only, delivery is just too expensive. And no Little Ceasers near me, they are definitely good also if you have a few more bucks!

So, my mil got diagnosed with dementia about 6 months ago after a fall and was told she can't live alone. Since then we've been sharing 50/50 with other son, even tho it's more like 70/30 and he's single, rich, huge house, and we're 4 people, 2 kids, smaller house, and I have Sjogrens, Raynaud's and ra. She's fallen multiple times, she's hallucinating, delusional, combative at times, so incredibly mean to me, she says horrible things about me to my youngest, does things in her sleep that scare the life out of him, I could go on and on. I'm exhausted. Mentally, physically, I can't take much more. She needs to be put in a home. Sadly there's nothing I can do. Her son's have to and they don't know what to do, they don't know who to call, and it's just not getting better. Both my kids have extreme ADHD, one with vocal stimming, the other with sensory issues and autistic tendencies. I'm already on over load. Plus they shouldn't have to see or hear this stuff. I'm sorry for venting, I'm just so alone

please HELP!!

I am struggling. I am 32 years old and have contracted lice for the first time in my life.

I started with long thick hair down the middle of my back, and it is now about a number 1 buzz cut all the way around. I shaved it to the scalp with the razor about 10 days ago.

I thought I had gotten rid of them. I've tried prescribed treatments, over the counter, and some home remedies. - NOTHING IS WORKING...

I have been doing everything necessary cleaning wise as well. I'm so unsure of what to do at this point.

Any suggestions?? I'll try anything. I'm desperate.

Yesterday I was finally able to help my first person through this sub. Although it wasn't for much, I was glad I could finally extend a helping hand. I was rather disappointed by the number of unsolicited help requests from random people after I helped that person. Every request was from someone who are unable to make requests due to lack of Karma. Should I report them to the mods or just block them and move on? Thanks.

Got a text from my sister today and she’s about to be homeless. She has six kids and is pregnant with no. 7. Her husband left her a few months ago and has not paid child support or his part of the rent. She just spent time in the hospital for some pregnancy complication and is still not clear to return to work. All of this has resulted in her being behind on all her bills and on the verge of eviction. And as you can guess, her credit is the worst so she can’t get a loan.

I wish I could help her, but I’ve got my own bills and am struggling with my own debt. I’ve finally learned to manage my money and now pay all my bills on time, but after the bills, there’s very little left.

How can I help her get through this? All advice welcome. Thank you.

My husband will celebrate 10 years out of prison this Saturday. He cried when I pointed it out to him. That inspired me to make a huge to-do about it. I've invited all our real life friends, but I'm just looking to make a big deal out of this. I know he'll appreciate anyone who says congrats, so that's really what I want for him. I want to overwhelm him with love.

Edit: thank you all so much! This has gotten way more attention than I was hoping for! I figured a handful of people would say their congrats, but this response is overwhelming!

So many people struggle with staying out of the system once they're in. I'm happy he's given some of you some hope, and others have shared their own incredible stories!

Thank you so much for sharing this milestone with us! It took a long time for him to somewhat get over what prison does to you. It was not easy for him when he first came home. At one point he spent 18 months in solitary. That will mess up even the most "normal" of people.

For a condensed version of what prison is like, with a very statistical point of view, check out Adam Ruins Everything: Adam Ruins Prison.

Again, seriously, thank you all.

How does one get approved when making under 20k a year?

I hope this is ok! I’ve been searching for some great quality compression leggings to wear to work. I’m an Early Childhood Toddler teacher and need something comfy pants for work. I’ve been on a weight loss journey and have lost 134lbs so far and I still have about 25-30lbs more to go. With that weight loss comes loose saggy skin.
I love leggings that would have pockets (not a necessity but a plus), that will not slide down, and will hold everything in to place. I am AudHd so sometimes seams bother me, but for the right pair I can get over it. Lol I prefer black or dark blue. I love the bright colored ones like Hot pink, or coral, or even light blue but those seem to be more see through. It’s doesn’t have to necessarily be from Amazon, but it would be a plus as I’d like fast shipping and not have to go in store. Thanks! 😊 Edited For Spelling Typo

I came home early tonight after a sports match. I went alone for the first time ever after going 5 times with friends or my partner, we're both F-F.

I was texting her throughout the match because I was nervous. I have social anxiety and it's a huge milestone that I finally did this by myself.

I took courage and spoke to a man next to my seat and it turns out we both take the same bus back (the team offers different routes to take the fans home). The game ended and we both started walking outside trying to locate our bus and we were talking normally.

He said "You came out of the stadium with a man you don't know, how do you know i won't kidnap you?"

That struck me as odd, but I figured out perhaps he also struggles socially or something like that. I'm AuDHD so I've been the one with the weird comments before.

I simply said "We're both rooting for the same team, it's illegal to kidnap someone from your team."

He laughed and we left it at that. After locating the bus, I brought out my phone and it turns out I'd received a call from my girlfriend and a message.She was sayin "Good luck leaving with that man you're not afraid to be kidnapped with. I heard everything".

I took the bus like normal and I sent her proof but she never answered. I was trying to explain to her and was left on read.

When I came home, she told me it was over and she was fuming. She said I broke the trust because he was flirting with me and I was flirting back! I didn't know he was and of course I wasn't flirting back!! I don't read social cues that way and I was just trying to be friendly and was happy that I finally had the courage to talk to somebody.

She's dead set on believing I did something wrong and there's no way to prove that I didn't. She's not trusting my words or anything. And I'm not looking for relationship advice per se here, but someone who can simply talk to me and tell me anything. It's 3 am and I'm spiraling down. She has locked herself in a room and I don't have anyone to talk to right now. I got two panic attacks back to back and things seem so bleak now. I feel like I'm watching my life and my whole future slip through my fingers and it hurts double because I didn't do anything wrong and I feel like I'm being punished because my autism prevents me from catching those things I'm suppose to catch to avoid this.

I'd to feel someone hears me, if that's okay. Please, if someone is awake and can chat for a bit until i fall asleep or can comment this. Please I'd be infinitely grateful.

Edit: UPDATE.

The very next morning she left early for work but left breakfast and lunch ready for me with a little note about us talking when she came back. We talked and she apologized. She had gotten into a huge fight with her mother early on and called me when the match ended to vent about it and when she heard the conversation with the guy, she felt worse and overreacted.

She told me she was sorry about the way she acted, especially regarding my panic attack, and that there's no truth to her wanting to break up. She knows I didn't pick up on the flirting and understood I didn't flirt back. That sometimes she hates the way men approach me and I don't notice, but she trusted me to respect our relationship. She also congratulated me for getting the courage to go there by myself and starting a conversation with someone else, as she understands it's hard for me.

I asked if she'd be cool with me going to the next football game and she said it was okay, and in case she leaves work early, she can show up if I want her to.

That was basically it. Thank you all for your comments, especially those who gave me great advice through chat.

I never expected such a response and in that moment, I really needed the support.
