2023.04.01 09:55 cobaltparasol I feel stuck.

I just started testosterone a little under a week ago, and for a bit it felt like I was finally making progress in life. But I still have no idea how I'll ever move out.
I have no driver's license and nobody ever has the time to take me driving; I also have a disability that makes driving difficult. And I live rurally, so there's basically nowhere to work; the only business within reasonable walking distance is a family business. I've considered learning to bike, but the roads out here are either surrounded by trees on either side, or they have inclines/declines that are way too strenuous to bike near-daily.
My best bet is to move into town and get a job there, but I have no idea where I'd find a place to stay. My partner's house is technically available, but I don't think I'd feel safe transitioning there. I don't really have any friends I can ask to stay with either.
I'm open to getting a license in the future, but it's probably not going to happen until I have a job and can maybe take driving classes (though I know those are going to be expensive).
Even if I got lucky and could move out, the stress of leaving my cats and siblings, and even my parents (despite being closeted to them) makes me feel awful.

If anyone has practical advice I wouldn't be against listening. Again, I just feel stuck.

2023.04.01 09:54 0rangeVibes Please help my fish is sick

Hello everyone. My fish(african cichlid) is sick and needs help, please someone tell me what is wrong or some recommendations on how to treat them. Please bear with me this will be lengthy.
Last week (the 24th) when I went home I noticed my fish was not its usual self. It was paler than usual, gills somewhat more red, some of its scales in its lower back were pushed out, it seemed like it had a hard time breathing and its stomach was barely sinking/concaving inwards. My parents did not notice a difference especially in the stomach but my sibling agreed it was acting strange. I did a 25% water change and usually it does not care when the siphon enters the water but that day it just kept chasing it and trying to shake against it.
The next day I knew something was wrong because the stomach was more notable, they were staying in the corner of the tank, they were not eating/pooping, and I was told they were not eating much for a few days. I know nothing about fish medicine so I bought a bunch of stuff: API General Cure, Seachem Garlic Guard, Seachem Focus, and Seachem Metroplex.
At this point I was not sure what was wrong because I was reading so many things and there were symptoms that matched everything. Like was it swim bladder disease, a parasite, infection, hole in the head, simply constipated, stressed?? And I am still not sure.
Last Saturday, I gave him the first dose of API general cure and added some aquarium salt. Still would not eat or poop. And the gills were no longer red but he now stayed near the top of the water. Sunday, I can notice more of the belly and usually I keep the flow of the hand on the filter high but I noticed he was kinda weak and being pushed back by the flow (broke my heart), so I turned it down.
Monday I had to go back to school and my sibling was in charge of him, they made sure to give the final dose of the general cure. Garlic guard arrived in the mail and my sibling soaked some pellets in it. Fish only ate 2 (I think this was the last time he ate).
Thursday comes around, gills are kinda pink, has not eaten the pellets with garlic guard or peeled+chopped peas that were added into the tank. Kinda leaning to the side.
Friday (the 31st), it has gotten bad. My mom called me saying she's worried since he's swimming on his side and is staying hidden in its barrel/ house.
Sibling calls me to confirm he's not eating/pooping and when it swims it can kinda do so normally but when it stops it starts to go sideways(basically laying down completely sideways). He's also breathing very fast and just does not look like he's doing well.
I am currently on my way home right now but I don’t know what to do or what is causing it.
I was thinking its constipation caused by overfeeding but then why is he on his side? Bladder disease/issue? But what does that mean? How do I fix it? I saw someone talk about epsom salt but will that not harm him? Should I stop using aquarium salt? I’m trying to give peas for fiber but he won’t even eat at all, and idk if I should keep trying to feed him because he's not pooping. Does the stomach indicate a parasite, bacterial infection, or because he's not eating?? Is there a fish vet I can call or something? I tested my water multiple times and it's all good.
Should I add the MetroPlex+focus+garlic guard? Anything you recommend?
I don’t know what to do. PLEASE help me. I do not care what I have to spend or if I have to skip classes, I just want him to get better, I don’t want to lose my little guy.

2023.04.01 09:53 Malfuckedhuman69 Life is never accessible; Godawful week (Advice appreciated)

Everywhere I go is inaccessible, including my own home. This feeling is likely increased lately due to me experiencing barrier after barrier, but I can not take it anymore. I feel like I am living in some cold, inconsiderate world, and/or I am just some kind of outlier.
People are not very open or understanding as in the past, and even those who are providing care for me, lack basic understanding or compassion.
I can not function. My anxiety is so high as I live in constant worry about what I am going to miss. Noone wants to provide accommodations or alternatives, or no one knows about them or cares to look into them. Even in legal cases such as my apartment, it just gets put off. I could literally DIE and noones cares or takes it seriously.
The technological industry pisses me off even more I think. Simple things that could improve so many Deaf and HOH lives are just not an option for who knows why, other than corporate greed, when many hearing folk would also use many of these features as well.
Basically all within the past week, maybe two:
- I still can not get my fire alarm to work with my smart lights (near hopeless). My landlord was basically useless to try and get a strobe light, nor would it even cover my entire place. I have been trying to figure out my own solution for years now. There have been a couple of fires recently (most recent being 1-2 weeks ago) and yet I had no awareness.
- I've spent hours and hours once again (every few months I try at it once again to no luck) to try and sync things like my phone and my lights, even for simple things like notifications
- I still can not get my doorbell to work with my lights
- I can not make the phone calls I need and no longer have someone accessible to assist. Relay is hopeless and they just send me a keyboard smash of text. I have tried numerous companies to try and find a solution so I could deal with everything but have had no luck. It's a vicious cycle of being told to call when I am reaching out for the sole purpose of getting an accessible way to call, but them just thinking that somehow I will be able to call if that is my only option. The phone calls are piling up and I am starting to fear that the severity of repercussions will continue to rise as I can not attend to anything including even things like my taxes.
- I need things in my apartment changed as I keep running into issues being unable to hear things, ie. water, but feel that is as likely as the strobe we discussed years ago and even since then.
- My colleague above me completely disregarded my needs and inquiries, even with an explanation. I have been unable to participate in certain aspects of things such as meetings or group activities and events due to inaccessible formats or locations. I asked about an upcoming matter and location details and was brushed off. Instead of them looking into it, they just said in a nutshell we'll find out when the time comes. That "it'll be a new experience for all of us" attitude, despite me communicating that it matters as I can not hear in certain settings and have been unable to in the past. Why am I going to plan to be involved in, and others plan for my involvement in such, when I can get there and find out yet again I can not participate?
- I have been told by acquaintances / neighbours etc. in casual conversation that I should just always wear my HA's, even at night; how?!, I need to hear better, and have been called deaf or that I can't hear anything as a casual insult/putdown. Even if I could hear fine, I am not going to hear everything, no one can - but I miss some small thing happening lately, and suddenly it's "because your [I'm] deaf or "don't hear anything".
My week has been horrendous. Any words would be helpful right now. I'm really just struggling and feel defeated and no one really understands me; I feel so isolated and alone. Obviously I will keep pushing on through all of this, I just need some place I can be understood and exist unapologetically.

2023.04.01 09:52 est1-9-8-4 She has someone new for a month now

My buddy came by today with a coworker. Spur of the moment after midnight type shit. At the end of the night he tells me guess who I saw? Obviously it was her, my ex fiancé. She told him to send me a picture of them.
My buddy obviously declined. Of course, he still asked me if I want to see….nah, why would I do that to myself? My buddy says they’ve been dating for a month now. Ok. What am I suppose to do? Next topic please. I’ve been with my new girls nearly a year now. So we cheers and discuss something else.
It was 15 years together with you. I was terrible to you…you reacted accordingly. After all was said and done…you left. Ok so that’s life. I don’t need an update on your life girl, you left me. I know you and I will always wish you the best.
Anways, I’m with a someone new. But you already knew that. I still don’t get why you came by that night last July. I still don’t get why you stayed around getting cozy with my family. I still don’t get how you expected me to react when my gf came by after her shift at work. Aren’t you just tired of all the drama? That’s why I had to block you. I never thought I could do it. I didn’t do it cuz I wanted to, I had to for my sanity. You blocked me, and only unblock me so you could toy with me. But I’m not like that and I won’t let you keep doing that.
I’m too old to be playing these games. Just a few days ago We got each other rings…and that night I had a dream and you were in it. You couldn’t stop crying. We talked but all I did was stand there…perhaps our 15 year connection is finally severed. I dunno. All I know is I don’t like dreaming, if it means I got to see you again. That’s not right to the new woman in my life.
You left me, so I’m not surprised this is how my mind works. Obviously it’s harder for the one who gets left behind.
But life is not always about bad news. I am going to make it official in a few weeks. I’m not gonna lie, it doesn’t feel good to know you’re with someone else…but if I am blessed enough to find someone who I hope wants me forever, then who I am to judge when others are just as blessed. He will treat you well I hope.

2023.04.01 09:49 Necessary-Diamond615 Masking and diagnosis

Since being diagnosed with ADHD, I can’t really mask as well as I used to, mostly because I didn’t know I was masking before.
I’ve studied to be a lawyer for nearly 5 years now, I’m at the point where I can start applying for jobs BUT I can’t UNSEE any of the problems that come with working in an office anymore.
-Inefficiencies -Clear bullying within the office but nobody can say anything? -Incompetent, and I mean literally does not know how to do the job-people being managers -A lot of planning to talk about plans? -Office politics- having to keep a record of every interaction/ goal you achieved- otherwise you won’t get promoted -Clients that think you’re life revolves around them- so much unnecessary pressure
It’s gotten to the point where a lot of corporate benefits don’t even appeal to me. Free meals- that just means you want me to start working from breakfast till dinner. Even though you aren’t paying me for those hours🤦‍♀️
I’m not sure what to do. I love studying law, and I think I’d be a really good lawyer.
I just need less of all that above 👆and more meaningful, impactful work and Wednesdays off to catch up on errands like going to the bank, food shopping. The weekends isn’t enough 🥹
How do you guys deal with your job post diagnosis?

Hullo there,
Not sure what I’m looking for really. Just nice to be away from the students for two minutes!
Planning out what I’m going to do over the next two weeks!
Optional conversation starters:
1) How to queue properly. 2) coffee or tea? 3) what is the best gift you have ever received? 4) how would you survive the zombie apocalypse? 5) are there any rules you love to break? 6) why is bread square but they make sandwich meat round?
About me: Likes - cycling - hiking - boxing - reading - playing instruments - baking and cooking - history - the occasional game, but nowhere near a gamer.
Dislikes - odd numbers - sprouts - not having object permanence - vacuuming / hoovering because I always get distracted and suck something up and blow up the hoover.

2023.04.01 09:46 megmegn Pregnant 28F/Please Help

Hello,
I am currently pregnant (8 wks) and am in dire need of assistance. I recently lost my job due to a 3 week hospitalization (I was septic and nearly lost my life), which caused me to lose my vehicle and I'm now being evicted. I have no place to go. I haven't had anything to eat in nearly two days. have no family to request help from. I can't even make it to any of my upcoming doctor's appointments. I also have a fur baby who is out of food. At this point, I'm honestly scared that we're going to starve/end up homeless.
I have CashApp, PayPal, and Venmo. If anyone has at least $20 dollars they can spare so I can feed myself and fur baby - would be greatly appreciated. Anything helps!
Thank you in advance 💜

2023.04.01 09:43 Ill_Fill8457 P0244 after new (remanufactured) turbo install

Hi Guys,
Recently I discovered my turbo was leaking which according to my mechanic warranted a new turbo install. I found the correct one on Ebay, remanufactured with 2 years warranty, which after receiving was bench tested and given a green light for installation. After the installation however the car developed a high-pitched squeal after 3k RPM, and a P0244 Turbocharger-Supercharger Wastegate Solenoid A Range-Performance code appeared. My mechanic switched out the wastegate solenoid from my old turbo which was known to work fine and the noise disappeared, and the car runs great for a brief period of time until the code shows up again. Nobody has an idea what to do. Can you give me some pointers?
The car is a Euro-spec 2017 Giulia Veloce/Ti 2.0T 280hp under 60k miles.

2023.04.01 09:42 _warped - Looking for Moderators -

So it goes without saying that I haven’t really been around to do my part sifting through the shit and overtime the subreddit has become quite a zoo of shit posting.
As we have grown exponentially in such a short amount of time, with nearly 140k members and a million page views every week, our team in all honesty has just been out numbered.. Upkeep after such an influx of members has been overwhelming. The traffic to our page as well as dealing with personal life has caused complacency on my part. Because of this, we are looking for new Mods to try to give this page the jump start it deserves.
We're looking for people who;
We need people who are willing to put energy into the subreddit and help stabilize the amount of shit posting as well as hopefully changing the way our community is viewed.
Requirements :
DM me directly[ u_warped ]letting me know a little about yourself, and what you believe makes you a good candidate for moderation.

2023.04.01 09:41 Piggoos The Daily Check-In for Saturday, April 1st: Just for today, I am NOT drinking!

We may be anonymous strangers on the internet, but we have one thing in common. We may be a world apart, but we're here together!
Welcome to the 24 hour pledge!
I'm pledging myself to not drinking today, and invite you to do the same.
Maybe you're new to /stopdrinking and have a hard time deciding what to do next. Maybe you're like me and feel you need a daily commitment or maybe you've been sober for a long time and want to inspire others.
It doesn't matter if you're still hung over from a three day bender or been sober for years, if you just woke up or have already completed a sober day. For the next 24 hours, lets not drink alcohol!
This pledge is a statement of intent. Today we don't set out trying not to drink, we make a conscious decision not to drink. It sounds simple, but all of us know it can be hard and sometimes impossible. The group can support and inspire us, yet only one person can decide if we drink today. Give that person the right mindset!
What happens if we can't keep to our pledge? We give up or try again. And since we're here in /stopdrinking, we're not ready to give up.
What this is: A simple thread where we commit to not drinking alcohol for the next 24 hours, posting to show others that they're not alone and making a pledge to ourselves. Anybody can join and participate at any time, you do not have to be a regular at /stopdrinking or have followed the pledges from the beginning.
What this isn't: A good place for a detailed introduction of yourself, directly seek advice or share lengthy stories. You'll get a more personal response in your own thread.
This post goes up at:
  • US - Night/Early Morning
  • Europe - Morning
  • Asia and Australia - Evening/Night
A link to the current Daily Check-In post can always be found near the top of the sidebar.
Morning friends!
Well, that's it for me! My time as host is up. Thanks for being here with me this week!
I said it yesterday and I’ll say it again: This week of hosting the DCI has been amazing. You are truly some of the kindest and most supportive people I’ve ever met. Your kindness with each other is so inspiring and you all make the world a better place. If you have 30 days of sobriety or more and would like to host the DCI, let u/SaintHomer know. He can provide you with the details you need to get started.
What does your Saturday look like? I love Saturdays. I love waking up without an alarm and drinking coffee leisurely while doing the crossword or scrolling through here. I write the grocery list and do some tidying up. I might do a deep clean, or I might go shopping, or I might read a book or flake out in front of the TV. In the summer, I almost always take my coffee cup and do a tour of my garden to see what’s blooming, and then sit down to listen to the birds and watch the squirrels. I’ll take my dog out for a long romp and take in the sun and the warm and the urban wildlife.
Those are the things I usually choose to do. I’ve had enough excitement in my life, if I’m honest. I spent 20+ years doing exciting things like clubbing and partying all night and my days recovering from all the exciting.
While my life is a lot quieter than it was then, it also holds more opportunity and freedom. I get to choose how I spend my time now, and that is a hell of a thing. I’m not bound to the chains of drinking and recovering from drinking anymore, at least as long as I choose not to drink , that is. I’m up for anything, and I have the energy for it too. There is no more “one day” or “tomorrow.” There is now, there is choice, there is freedom, and I’m so grateful to be here for it.
Have a great day, friends, and again, thank you for being here. I will not drink with you today.

2023.04.01 09:39 Pippy_The_Sippy I cut myself for the first time

The title. So I'm 17F, and I had a fight with my dad, he made me feel like shit. I can't do anything to change the way he feels about me. I care alot less about his opinions than I did at one point. He's particularly cruel to me, several people have noticed. But that's besides the point, I cut myself on the forearm for the first time last night, and I'm wondering, why do people say it's such a bad thing? I felt SO good after doing it, I went from bawling my eyes out, not being able to sleep, and not almost wanting to die, to calm and collected and I fell asleep almost instantly. I've punched myself and other things before but I've never done anything that yielded a result even CLOSE to this. Why did it feel so gratifying? Why did it calm me and bring me from damn near rock bottom to almost happy? And no, nobody knows. I haven't told anyone. And no, I'm not in any danger, I'm just looking for answers and maybe someone who relates so I can talk about it? I don't want anyone I know irl to know I did this.

2023.04.01 09:38 ykskai Was it too much too ask? Are my feelings valid?

I had my best friend for about 2 decades now. We are hundred miles apart. One day I got sick and took a toll on my mental health. I've developed anxiety and panic attacks. I was living alone and had no one in the family that prioritizes me since my mom had her own family and we don't have a good relationship with relatives. And so I was living my life alone for a decade plus. I got better with the sickness but anxiety and panic attacks had me stopped going to work. I was dysfunctional. It fears me to go outside that I might lose control every time I am in panic.
I still wanna come to work but my fear is extreme. I decided to get professional help from a psychiatrist but every time I was told to go out and just do things normally it's always easier said than done. Going out and being anxious that something awful might happen to me felt terrible. So I decided to call my bff that If its ok with her, I desperately need her to stay with me considering she was working from home set-up. I thought that she might be the perfect fit to stay with me as I get on with my life. I think I desperately needed someone. To cut story short, she said she cannot come to me because she's very busy with work but she constantly calls and asks how am I doing. I was just upset about her frequently asking how am I because I was constantly saying I was not ok. I don't go out, I don't have a life. But I told her that if she can be with me physically for quite sometime (knowing that she can work from home), I might feel a bit more positive about things and life. But she said she's busy and moral support is the only thing she could do to help. So I told her to stop asking how am I because I'm tired of answering same everyday. What I personally want as of the moment is someone who will be with me, physically. I am enjoying my solitude most of my years but not this time. I told her maybe I can conquer this anxiety and depression if she stays with me even for short period of time.
It felt like I was at my lowest. I had no one. I had no real friends at work or anywhere near my place. I felt upset that she couldn't go beyond borders, her knowing that I don't have anyone in my life. I have not been going to work for months now but still paying bills and therapies. She stopped messaging me since the first month that I told her not to ask how I am. But I had this feeling of extreme sadness that she just stopped like that, felt like she gave up on me easily.
Was it too much to ask? I felt disappointed. Is my feelings valid or should I stop asking help from somebody who is not available. What should I do?

2023.04.01 09:36 addburneracct We're at our wits end

Me [30f] and my gf [32f] are both unemployed, running out of money, and in need of highly specialized and expensive medical care. Not looking for advice, if I hear another empty platitude I'm going to lose my mind.
I was laid off from my job in July of last year. Right after I started going back to school to improve my life. Right after we signed a lease and moved in together. I'm trying to push through and keep moving forward with my classes so it wasn't a waste to start back up (not to mention we really need the money on the other side of this education), but I still need two or three more years to be able to practice, and I made too much money last year for fafsa to cover all of my school expenses. So school is draining me financially as well. We chose an apartment on the budget basis that I'd have the job I was laid off from, but it's also not dramatically more expensive than apartments in this area. We're in southern California and that's not helping. I got rid of my car because my gf and I were sharing a car and I was working remotely so I didn't need it, so I also don't have a car. I haven't been able to get an interview for a single job, more or less a job that pays enough to cover my living expenses. I need to be putting more energy into finding one but I'm in some insanely demanding stats and research classes right now. It fills me with blind rage that companies don't even read your resume anymore. Just right in the trash for arbitrary reasons while people's livelihoods are on the line. I'm down to 4 months left of living expenses left in my savings, and that's if nothing emergent comes up. I tried to apply for food stamps and state healthcare but guess what? I made too much money last year. I used to be under the impression that if you did college, stayed professional, and worked hard, you would be able to succeed in America. Man was I wrong.
My gf just finished her MBA program late last year and hasn't been able to find a job that pays enough to cover her living expenses either. She has a son who she's trying to shield from our inevitable financial ruin and keep him in a good school district with his friends. She's separated from her husband (where her share of income is coming from) who is quitting his job soon and not taking one that has insurance for some reason. So she and her son are going to lose their health insurance in the near future. She has 11 (yes, 11. Doctors don't know how she's functional either) bulging discs in her spine/ neck from two bad car accidents when she was younger. She has a lot of meds and bills for those issues as well as lessening mental health issues from a bad marriage. Her physical condition is worsening because of time and probably the stress of our situation. We haven't even addressed how she's going to work when she's undergoing an unimaginable amount of chronic pain. She says the broken ribs she got from her car accident we're a walk in the park compared to how her back feels these days. She needs to see a specialist but now she won't have the insurance to do so. And her ex husbands income is too high to qualify for state programs should she lose the insurance. Should they divorce, she won't have the income to survive on.
I was optimistic at the beginning of the year. Not feeling positive anymore because it seems like there's no possible way we're going to make it out of this mess on the path we're on. I know she feels the same. But even after all of these problems I know people are worse off than we are, so I feel like we're not in a position to ask for help. Some people don't have 4 months, you know? Anyway....thanks for reading lol.

2023.04.01 09:35 MegaSharkGoesToCamp RE Village not recognizing VR Controllers?

Hi,
Apologies in advance. I think this has been asked before because i'm looking at a similar post, but can someone please ELI5? Because, I can't for the life of me figure out what the hell i'm doing wrong.
I installed Village. I downloaded the VR thing. I select play in VR. I get headset on and all that. I get an error message that reads something like: “cant play with duelsense controller, please use VR controllers and press X” I hold the VR controllers, and I can see my Ethan Hands moving around when I'm holding the VR controllers. But, X does nothing.
I assume i'm an idiot. But, can someone please tell me why?

2023.04.01 09:35 strik3r2k8 Thought about growing my hair out a bit. How should I approach it?

https://i.imgur.com/mL05JN2.jpg
Disclaimer: I’m not much of a hair guy. For almost a decade I’ve kept my head nearly completely shaven. What got me to grow my hair again was just seeing my cousin go bald because he started losing his hair. In fact, my dad and my uncle decided to go completely bald. Made me wanna appreciate my hair more. Even my parents and siblings told me I should let my hair grow.
Until recently, I just started I’ve just gotten fades, a small trim on the top. But recently I figured I should just let it grow more. Just to see how it looks. Thought about getting a little bit of that “rocker look”. Though I come from a curly haired family. Usually after I shower my hair is puffy. It tends to wanna stick up and go everywhere. I haven’t got a haircut in almost 2 months. My last haircut was actually not what I wanted. They gave me a 0 fade which essentially made me look almost like a Mexican Kim Jung Un lmao. But ya, I’m not much of a hair guy, and I hate the shape of my head lol.

2023.04.01 09:33 ms_chiefmanaged What should I do?

I wish I came across this sub before I made the mistake of letting Vivint into my home. I had the system installed on March 1 of this year. Since then, the doorbell camera just does not work. It goes offline randomly and stays offline. So far, FOUR technicians came in and each of them says how previous technician didn’t do something right. Doorbell, wire, transformer were all changed. The latest technician even ran the wire through indoor. I have spent hours on phone with their ridiculous THE WORST customer service that has turned me into a Karen.
Vivint failed to provide me with a consistent product. Doorbell camera is the sole reason for me to get a security system and it is not working.
What are my option here for cancellation? The equipment are not paid off and I signed up for 60 month contract. I do not want to call for another technician because it’s clear they can’t help me.

2023.04.01 09:33 ScaredAnteater2188 Nothing seems to work and my mental health is finished

21m, had full body eczema my whole life. My eczema is pretty much everywhere. The few places that aren’t affected are the bottom of my feet, palms of my hands and my private areas. Even then I’ve started to get occasional dry skin on my armpits and around my ‘thing’.
GP’s have pretty much given me steroid cream after steroid cream and the same advice since I was a kid. I remember being maybe 8 years old saying ‘give me the cream with a lion picture bc that gets rid of it’ (fucibet or fucidin used to have this little lion picture on the tube). The same advice every time of ‘put more moisturiser on’ just got ridiculous. Hydromol ointment 7 times a day just isn’t practical to go about any part of the day constantly dripping. Once upon a time aveeno would keep my skin moist all day but it seems the moisturisers and steroid creams are exactly like painting over a crack in a wall. The problem gets hidden until it gets worse and you need a thicker paint. I’ve been given betnovate ointment on repeat prescription since I was in high school.
Around a year on ciclosporine was similar, it eventually stopped working. Started around July 2021 just after the worst flare ups. Most recently had 4 months on dupixent and the same thing. Started December 2022. This made my hair fall out after 2 months or so of using it and my vision blurry and constant stinging eyes after 3 months. Dermatology now want me on rinvoq which I’m not optimistic about. I’ll likely end up being good for a couple months and then add more problems to my list of issues. Nothing seems to work.
I’ve been depressed. Suicidal thoughts daily for months at a time but could never really attempt it. Only the thoughts of how my mum would feel and the best line my elder brother ever gave me stopped me from actually doing anything. ‘If you kill yourself it’s just a 1st class ticket to hell’ - I’m a Muslim and suicide is a major sin.
Now, I’m not suicidal. But there’s a sort of emptiness and hopelessness. A mindset of ‘these are the cards I’ve been dealt and there’s nothing I can do about it’. I’m getting used to constantly having this depression in my mind and having no confidence. Pushing 3 months now where almost every time I leave my bedroom I put a hood up or hat on. For around 2 years now I haven’t even bothered trying to talk or get close to a new girl. Why would I when I don’t have any confidence in how I look and don’t even look like my pictures anymore. Nobody wants somebody with problems like mine, people want positive not depressing. I’m smart enough to know I’m getting used to things that I shouldn’t be getting used to. I think of my future and it’s blank. What kind of life can I really expect for myself. The typical hope every guy has from young of big house, fast car, happy wife and kids and financially well enough to look after mum and not worry when bills come in is out the window. It’s just not realistic - how can I ever get that when I can barely keep a job due to constant absences caused by regular flare ups.
Failed out of uni whilst going through the worst flare ups ever. This is from when I failed in august 2021 to when I failed the repeat year in 2022. A daily routine of waking up unable to move, to the extent I’d starve myself as long as possible bc it was too painful to open my mouth. Then rip everything open like a wild animal and eventually I’d ‘finish’ itching every bit of skin on my body and sit crying and shaking bc the pain was so bad. From that point onwards I’d spend the rest of the day high on weed and come night I’d cry myself to sleep bc of how horrible the thoughts in my mind were. This was everyday for up to 3 months at a time.
My skin isn’t even bad right now but it’s only a matter of time till another flare up, and I guess this is my life. To top it off my liver reading from the blood test came up at 214 - it should be below 55 - and the docs straight away say it’s bc I smoke too much weed. I honestly think they’re clutching at straws here bc in 3, nearly 4, years of smoking my liver hasn’t come up once and 1 gram a day I wouldn’t call a crazy amount considering there’s been periods where I’d smoke 2 grams a day and was fine. Also, I’m sure all the medicines they give me such as the regular prednisolone courses and cyclosporine affect the liver. Not saying it can’t be the weed, just it could be multiple other things.
Right now, my hair still hasn’t grown back, I’m hesitant to start the rinvoq but I guess I don’t have a choice really. The docs want me to stop smoking weed which is my only real break from things and avoid gym bc sweating likely irritates my skin, 2 of few things I enjoy anymore.
Where am I supposed to go from here? What am I supposed to do with my life? I’ll probably end up having a heart attack on rinvoq knowing my luck, and watch the docs say it’s bc of the weed and nothing to do with the ‘safe’ medicines they give me that fix one issue by causing another. Appreciate anybody that read this essay, I guess I needed to vent my thoughts out somewhere. Any advice would be great ❤️
