Braiding salon near me

I need to get advice on whether or not this is an issue I should push with my parents.
For some context, my boyfriend and I have been together for about 5 years. For two of those years we lived together in our own place in our college town, but both decided to move back to our respective homes after college to save money, and our parents were happy to have us. Before moving in I established with my parents that I am an adult, I help with some (minor) household expenses, and I am for the most part treated as an adult that is sharing a space with them.
I have always been allowed to sleepover at my boyfriends parents house, and I do so often (about once or twice a week). The issue is that my parents (mainly my dad) will not let my boyfriend stay over at our house when he is home. I understand having boundaries, but he has stated that my boyfriend can stay the night when my parents are away on vacation, but absolutely not when they are in the house. The inconsistency of the rules is what really bugs me, especially because it makes no sense! I am starting to feel that I am not being treated as an equal adult (especially because I help with household expenses... I am not freeloading!). These inconsistent rules are very strange, and frustrating to myself and to my boyfriend, who feels as though he is unwelcome or that my parents don't want him around/don't want to interact with him.
My family is moving houses in a week and at the new house I will have my own detached apartment over the garage. It is a totally separate space, with bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, laundry. They want me to stay there as long as I need to save up, but are still refusing to let my boyfriend stay there if they are in the main house... I am getting pretty fed up, and need to know if I should push this issue now. I feel like this new space is a great opportunity to assert myself as a full adult to my father, who has a longterm boyfriend with whom I will be moving out with in the near future, and he needs to accept that. Should I push back? Do I have any ground to stand on? I feel like my dad is having issues because I am his eldest daughter, but when he was my age he had been living with my mom for years and they were married, why can't he see my side of things?

Brace yourselves, this is gonna be a long one.

The Main Goal:
Well if you’re browsing this subreddit then much like me, you were alone this weekend and I’m sure you’d like to change that as much as me. I won’t lie, I am going through a rough part of my life right now. It’s difficult for me to find the energy for anything at the moment and I’m just really seeking affection in general, anything that will give me a push. I don’t want to be that person who brings everyone down but I could really use someone to talk to right now. I’d really like to find someone who’s similar to me so much to the point that we do everything together and talk about everything while not having to pretend to be interested. I want someone with whom we can mutually spew our emotions onto and have those feelings reciprocated. Not an emotional punching bag, but an emotional teddy bear to hug and cuddle until everything feels better as many times as we need. There’s people who I’m sure have told you the same, they’ll be there no matter how many times you need the support, no matter how many times the insecurities and bad thoughts come back but they don’t mean it. I will be the exception, I’m not so ignorant to think some nice words and tales of relating to you will magically forever heal whatever ails you then get mad when you seek the same support again. Mental ailments are rarely temporary and I don’t care about someone because they’re perfect, caring about someone means being there no matter how many times they need you to be. It doesn’t feel like a chore, it doesn’t get old, and it never will.

(2.a)
What I'm Seeking:
I will upfront let you know if I’m clicking better with someone else or if you’re the one, I’m not here to tread the sea of fish or keep my options open, I’m here for one singular person.
(2.b)
Relationship:
A relationship is difficult for me right now, it’s been nearly half a year since I got out of my last relationship and the reasons for it ending are partially responsible for how I’ve been feeling and why it’s so hard for me to seek the comfort I so desperately crave. I will tell you about it but for the sake of not treating the entirety of the internet as my therapist, it’ll be in private. I really need the comfort of intimacy and the warmth of someone who cares. I'm not going to feel better if I just sulk and don’t move on. This is my attempt to get better, I’ll admit I’m not great right now and I don’t expect you to be either. If we can help each other heal, then I’d be more than happy :) A relationship isn’t just being there for when someone’s at their best. Even if a relationship is hard at the moment, I do want a life partner and I don’t want to be alone. Things aren’t going to get easier without you so I don’t want to hesitate. I view my other as an equal, I don’t like categorizing us into specific roles. We take care of each other and treat each other how we like to be treated, whatever that is, it's as simple as that. I don't care if you're "successful" or not, living simple lives with our days filled with love is the ultimate measure of success to me.
(3)
Personality:
(3.a)
On the Surface:
As you can tell I can be rather… stoic but that’s largely due to my current stressors, I truthfully am goofy and fun loving but I just can’t find it in me right now. I want to return to that but without someone to light up my world it’s been difficult to just have fun and enjoy stuff. I’m definitely more introverted, you won’t catch me at any parties or really outside at all. I definitely prefer being home though the occasional outing is not out of the question and one day I’d like to travel to other countries because I think that kind of perspective is important.
(3.b)
The Core of My Being:
I like being a spectator to it all and if we bear witness to humanity burning or its miraculous recovery, I want to watch it with you. I enjoy watching humanity advance, less so when it devolves but I want to watch it to the end nonetheless. I’m both a realist and someone who lives with my head in the clouds dreaming of scenarios or worlds that don’t exist. I’m saying that I enjoy a good narrative and can suspend my disbelief to enjoy something but you won’t catch me refusing vaccines or ignoring blatant facts for the sake of some pseudo science or witch doctor’s remedy. I’m an atheist but I do not rule out existence after death, not because I’m agnostic but because due to the nature of potentially infinite time at some point after how many googol years with a googol amount of 0s after that, something’s bound to replicate your consciousness perfectly at some point. It’s actually a really fascinating topic I like talking about. If infinite time and infinite possibilities exist, does non existence exist? Though that’s an awfully existentially dreadful thought process considering the ramifications of infinite existence and infinite possibilities during said infinite existence. I would say I’m confidently left leaning and I don’t think I could truly get along with anyone right leaning, at least America’s definition of right leaning. Left and right seems to have just become; do people deserve to suffer or do they deserve to live good lives? Being political is not something I expected to become but how can you not be when crimes against human rights are being passed on a daily basis and at the end of the day, everything’s political. Oftentimes I imagine the perfect moment as relaxing with my significant other playing games or cuddling in a cold room under blankets.
I value that special someone above all of the existential thoughts, the bad of the world, the good of the world, they practically become my world. So many worries wash away when I’m with them. I don’t know if that’s the defense mechanism my brain created to not feel bad 24/7 but if it is, I’m currently without it.
(3.c)
Insecurities:
I talk of philosophy and politics here but really I spend most of my time just playing games, watching stuff, and trying to not be sleep deprived. I’m also nowhere near as well spoken, heck sometimes I feel like my speech is broken. I won’t claim to be something I’m not, I sit at home while I complain about the world doing nothing about it wishing I had someone here with me. I’m not noble nor do I really want to be, I have morals I uphold but much like most other hypocrites I acknowledge that my comfortable life is built on the suffering of others without doing anything about it. Why? My sleep problems? Am I depressed? Is that why I have no energy to do anything? Do I just think nothing I could do could help? I can’t nail it down myself, maybe it’s a mix of everything, maybe I’m just a bad person. I have always told myself that if I had wealth I would help people but if I get that kind of wealth will I just become a wealth hoarder who tries to justify my riches as something I earned rather than something given to me through incredibly lucky circumstances? If I do help people is it because I’m a good person or out of guilt? Will I die alone? I feel like I drive everyone away with my clinginess, I get paranoid often and need reassurance often. It’s something I want to work on, something I’ve been trying to work on. Hearing that someone cares about me just never gets old. I value self awareness even if it’s painful.
(3.d)
Socializing:
I’m definitely a socially anxious/awkward mess, especially around strangers. I do feel a large amount of anxiety in public, people can’t tell by looking at my face since I kind of go stone faced in an attempt to block everything out but yeah you’ll notice that if we go out in public. Growing up my pediatrician said I was probably autistic, never got a formal diagnosis so that’s just great. But yeah that explains why I can’t make eye contact with people, I kinda just stare at the ground and avoid their gaze at all costs. A lot of these social struggles go away to a great degree once I know you for a bit but yeah I apologize for how terrible I am at socializing at first. Don’t let my social struggles fool you though, I love cuddling and being close with my person.
(3.e)
Sexuality:
I am a heterosexual male, though I’m not very masculine like at all. I may even be a bit feminine sometimes. Not that I believe any activity or manner of acting belongs to a gender but I don’t know how else to describe it. I’m definitely super affectionate and love it when my partner is too. I am open to dating demi people but I do have a libido so I don't think asexual would work out.
(4)
Interests:
(4.a)
Video Games:
As stated before, I do spend a lot of my time playing video games. It’s been hard lately with me having no energy but I really do want to play more games and have a good time playing them with you! I primarily play on PC though I do have a switch. I’m primarily into platform fighters, roguelikes, open world, survival, and sandbox games. As for single player story games, I enjoy watching them through twitch or youtube but for the most part I don’t play them myself. I’d watch you play them though!
Here’s a list of games we can play:
-Minecraft (Java)
-Risk of Rain 2
-Gunfire Reborn
-Roboquest
-7 Days to Die
-Phasmophobia
-Rust
-Unturned
-Bloons TD 6
-Platform fighters: Super Smash Bros. Melee, Slap City, Multiversus, Flash Party, Fraymakers
Whatever you want to play I’ll give it a shot! I will say that League bores me to death but I’ll play it for you :) I try to avoid MMOs, not because I don’t like them but because of how addicted I can get to them. I enjoy learning games in-depth so MMOs can be a fast track to addiction.
I recently got Kerbal Space Program 2 and ehhh not really worth it right now but hopefully later it will be? I’m super excited for Tears of the Kingdom! In the far off future I’m excited for Rivals of Aether 2 which is a platform fighter releasing in 2024, let me know of your most anticipated releases and I’ll see if I could play them with you!
Also I never got into FPS games but I could totally see myself playing like CoD with you or Escape From Tarkov. Any FPS really, I’m down.
I am a fan of Pokemon but with how things have been lately I don’t know how long that will last. Pixelmon is a common Pokemon mod I play for Minecraft if you want to play that! Also if I say I want to play something with you I mean it but there are often times when no matter how much I want to I'm just drained and can do little more than lay in bed so please don't think I'm making an excuse.
(4.b)
Science:
I really enjoy keeping up with the latest advances in pretty much everything, it could be biology, technology, astronomy, anything! I love seeing progression and I love talking about it! Really I could go on and on about what I’m obsessing about that day. I particularly love technology, ask me for my laptop specs I dare you. When I was little I always wanted to be a scientist of any kind but then insomnia and fear of college stuff hit me like a truck aaaand that’s the end of that dream.
(4.c)
Anime:
You got me, I like anime but I’d like to think my tastes are benign.
Here’s some of my favorites I can list from the top of my head:
- To Your Eternity
- Vinland Saga
- Spice and Wolf
- Re:Zero
- Mob Psycho
- Dr. Stone
- Attack on Titan
- Spy x Family
- My Hero Academia
- Ranking of Kings
- Demon Slayer
Okay I can go on and on but I will say I don’t like pointless fan service and the spamming of cliche anime moments. I mostly enjoy action and anything well animated if it doesn’t have a potato story. Heck Demon Slayer could be my top 3 out of season 2’s animation alone. I don’t watch slice of life often or romance but I would with you!
(4.d)
Misc:
I’m not going to go on and on about the tiniest little things when the main ones are covered but I’ll watch pretty much any show with you and anything really. I like random youtube videos that explain some kind of lore or mystery, sometimes mini documentaries too.
As for food I looove sushi and I’m a sucker for fast food. Okay and candy, definitely candy.
I used to play tennis but haven’t really had the opportunity nor friends to play it with and I’m way too socially anxious to seek it out. Also I will say that when we move to something like discord I type waaaay more casually. I’m not going to expect long paragraphs back and forth like we’re writing English papers for each other, I do enjoy long conversations but seriously don’t worry about having to put the utmost effort into every response, I just like making good first impressions I guess.
(5)
(5.a)
My Physical Characteristics:
I’m 5’8 (172cm), 128 pounds (58kg), with curly brown hair and blue eyes. I like keeping my hair long in the winter and cutting it in the summer. I’m pretty slim in general so if you’re looking for someone large, that’s not me. I don’t work out but my work is pretty physical so at least I’m not totally inactive. I don’t have the urge to work out or gain muscle but I do want to maintain my slim figure so if I start losing control of that I’ll work out. I like to keep my face shaved because I don’t think I look good with a beard/mustache so if you’re into those I apologize. I have an average amount of body hair? I’d prefer to be completely shaved but it’s easy to lose motivation with that battle, if you prefer shaved then I’d have no problem complying. Anyways here’s what I look like: https://imgur.com/a/MZZgf2t
(5.b)
My Physical Preferences:
Having physical preferences makes me feel shallow, if I could make myself not have them I would but unfortunately that’s now how that works. I don’t care if you’re shorter or taller than me and I don’t care if you weigh more or less than me. All I ask is that you’re slim-average weight. I would never ask for someone to be something I’m not. I don’t care about tattoos or piercings.
(6)
Expectations of You:
I am not looking for someone “exciting” or someone to “keep me on my toes” I’m not looking for someone to cater to my every whim or anything like that. I don’t care if you’re “boring” or if you aren’t “successful”. I know it’s a common thing for people to not want a “boring” relationship and to seek something argumentative or something with constant challenges but I just want to be with you. During the exciting times, the boring times, and everything in-between, all of it will be great with you! Maybe we do argue sometimes or maybe there will be challenges but that will never be something I purposefully seek out and I don’t want that to be something you seek out either. I will not play tricks on you and I will not play mind games, I expect the same from you. We all have personal measures of success we may or may not have lived up to but what I care about most is our commitment to each other. If we have each other we can get through tough times, near the ends of our lives I want us to look back and feel that this life together was worth more than anything. That’s not saying I want us to be haphazard, I don’t want us to make poor decisions for the sake of yolo and I want us to always be rational, especially with each other. I want you to be someone I can trust to make decisions and weigh the options with a level head, I’ll try my best to live up to the same for you. Most of all I want empathy, understanding, someone to feel the utmost comfort and trust in.
(7)
Living Situation:
Currently my life is pretty relaxed, I work 3 times a week as a night shift stocker. I currently live in a 2 bedroom apartment with my roommate but we’re looking to move into someplace larger by the end of the year if everything works out. The internet is weirdly great for Ohio too like I have fiber and later this year we’re supposed to be getting dedicated fiber so that’s neat. I’m not attached to Ohio so the ultimate goal living location wise is probably moving to a country that won’t send you into a lifetime of dealing with the repercussions from one medical emergency.
(8)
Deal Breakers:
Might as well make this simple and make it a list.
- Anti-vaxxers
- Unironically believing astrology
- Right wingers
- Hard drugs (occasional 420 and alcohol is fine, may even join you)
- Wanting children, there was a time when I was younger when I wanted children but with the state of the word that’s a definite no and I feel like I wouldn’t be able to handle the stress. I’d love a stress free life with as much time with you as possible.
- Homophobic
- Transphobic
- Racist
- Super Religious
- Don’t be a bigot and don’t deny facts.

Closing Remarks:
Well you made it, I was thinking that finding someone I’d be willing to put a lifetime of effort into at least required this much effort. If I think of anything more I’ll update the post. Also about timezones, it really doesn’t matter where in the world you are. I don’t have a sleep schedule and I have most of the week off from work so it really doesn’t matter.
I request that in your response you do put effort into it, it doesn’t have to be anywhere near as long as this but at least enough so I know that you read this and enough about you so I know why you saw potential compatibility. I will seriously read all of it and respond the best I can. I do also request a pic included in your response (sfw please) or one soon after we start talking to prove identity, I’ll send identity proving pics too. As long as this post is up, you can send a reply!

I have been taking Wellbutrin for over 2 months now and have experienced great improvements in some areas. However, I have also been experiencing some really bad depressive thoughts and suicidal thoughts. I don't normally feel sad I just dont ever really feel happy and nothing is enjoyable which is why I thought a dopamine reuptake inhibitor like wellbutrin would be perfect. And like i said I have improved a lot I have started to feel like I enjoy some of the things I used to not and feel more inclined to socialize than ever. The only issue is the depressive thoughts. I started taking 150mg and took that dose for about a 6 weeks and at about the 4 week mark the thoughts went away. I thought that might be the same when I increased my dose to 300mg and it seems that it was the same because after about 4 and a half weeks I didn't really feel those thoughts anymore. This only really lasted a few days though and now Im feeling not so good again, not nearly as bad as before but still really not great. If anyone knows if these will eventually go away or maybe this medication just makes me more depressed please let me know.

Me and a couple friends are going down to the Cape in a couple weeks and want to do some shore-fishing. We're staying in Hyannis. Are there any shops near Hyannis that would rent basic fishing geaequipment?

Currently in difficult circumstances post covid where work has dried up nearly completely, and we're facing a slightly uncertain future. Would love any help whatsoever. Please let me know if you donate so I can thank you personally.

My only option to escape depression is going to be the end of my life. I've backed myself into a corner there's no escaping from. I'm too retarded to interact with other people socially. I dont like it, I dont do well with it, and I dont feel any compulsion to do it. I have no hobbies, and thr things that served me well for killing time in the past cant hold my attention anymore. I dont have a job. If Im unfortunate enough to survive until I start my next job, I'm going to be struggling to find rides there and back, or walking 6 or 7 hours a day there and back. I havent got a car. I dont have money saved. My teeth are rotting out of my mouth.
I literally hate myself. I am an unlovable, ugly, stipid, lazy, foul smellibg piece of shit who is too much of a fucking loser to even keep his water running. What I wish would happen is that something terrible woulf occur thst would sap any remaining pathetic desire to remain alive for the sake of beating myself off or whatever pathetic fucking thing is keeping me here, and Id actually have thr balls to hang myself in the woods by my house, or cimb over and jump off the highway overpass, or find a way to force someone who has a gun to shoot me.
Therapy doesnt work. Anyone who can be helped by talking doesnt have any real problems. Ive spent thousands of dollars over the years on the racket that is therapy, I believe it should be banned. Its a colossal fucking waste of resources. It should be legal, and socially SMILED UPON, to end your life if you are defective. I ruin anything I'm near. I suck the joy out of rooms and people. The world shouldnt be subjected to the miserable sack of shit that Ryan is and would be far better off without the tumor that I am growing on this earth.
I dont want to feel better, because thats a stupid thing to want. I want to be pushed over the edge so I can finally grow some balls and be a man and fucking kill myself like I know I should.

Hoping if any shy women could give their perspective. We’re in postgrad.
· She stood kind of close to me (with just my friend between) in the field today for work (it's a big field with 30 people), later when buying lunch I realized she was standing around a bit behind me (I sensed it turned round and greeted her).
· She was smiling at me watching me practice an examined speech to her the other day (just me and her), strong eye contact and her smiling at me w/ big eyes, lips suppressing a smile like she nearly wanted to laugh
· She usually greets me with a smile and raised eyebrows
· Smiles but doesn't laugh at my bad jokes
· She doesn’t ask any questions (actually just one, if I’m on the same postgrad program she's on) about me, doesn't start any conversations ever (I always initiate and ask Qs) or seem interested in my life even after sitting for a few hours together working on group project
· Didn't accept social media friend request (but she may not use that platform?)
· Didn't look back or even turn fully around when I said goodbye to her and her friend (that friend turned to say goodbye)
She is pretty quiet and doesn't speak up in tutorials or socially in groups. I'm seeing 50/50 here or mixed signals and not sure what to think.
Unsure about her level of interest, and not wanting to come on too strong, I decreased the level of my greetings, jokes and open-ended questions today. We're on the same postgrad program together for 6years so I'm really only going to ask her out ever if there are any tangible signals...

Hello all,
I am coming here in hopes of getting as much information as possible to assist my mother who is Stage 4 COPD and entering palliative care. I will try to keep this as short as possible in hopes that it entices more assistance. My mother spoke to me about 2 weeks ago, and told me that she wanted me to be the person in charge of all of her decision making for palliative care, but she lives near Atlanta, GA and I am in Tampa, FL. She is also legally married (in the state of Georgia) even though her and her "husband" have not been together in well over 20 years (they talk every once in a while but not romantically involved.)
- Is there any way to obtain any sort of documentation that would override her "husband" as next of kin in the event that she becomes incapacitated and someone else has to make decisions on her behalf?
- She has 11% lung capacity and is on permanent oxygen, so getting her out of the house to create an advanced directive or power of attorney is almost impossible. She only has access to the internet via a tablet, so no printer, fax machine, etc.
- I am really just looking for assistance in everything I need to be made aware of, keep track of, and complete prior to her passing.
​
I am sorry this is sort of jumbled, I am just lost and have never been placed in this position before.

I need your advice!
I’ve been on two dates with this guy and he’s really nice and both dates went really well. Like the second date he planned the whole thing, we went a candle making place, grabbed drinks and then went out to dinner! Kissed on both dates. The second date was Thursday.
He called me Friday night to say chat and I was at out so we chatted for a min saying we both had a great time.
Then I texted him a picture that we took of us from the date. (No reply from him)
On Saturday I was going out with some friends in a popular baclub area in my city which is near where he is and I texted him saying if you’re around and out in the same area, I’d love to meet up.
He let me know he was hanging with his friend at his friends place, but would have loved to. I texted him last that night (1am) and now i haven’t heard from him.
I can’t stop thinking about him and we both were eager to hang out more but I am getting anxious.
Should I text him or wait? I really like him and I think he likes me lol, but I don’t want to come off as desperate or anything.
Also I tend to overthink things so maybe I’m overthinking it.

Hi all, i hope this doesn’t come across as me trying to sell to one of you because that’s not what I’m asking, but more so looking if anybody knows businesses that buy used devices?
I have a Surface Pro 8 (relatively newer model laptop in great condition) that I’m looking to sell but want to get a good price on it. I just moved here and down in Texas we had a tech store that would buy things at a pretty reliably good price.
Just curious if anybody knows anything other than a typical fast cash pawn shop that can do same day payment. I’m near Naperville but don’t mind driving a bit if necessary. Thanks for any help and sorry if this doesn’t quite belong here!

Hope this finds you all doing well. God loves you!
This last weekend I was heading to Mass with my minions. It’s just me, and I have 4 of them- so despite my best efforts, we were running a bit late. In order to arrive more expeditiously, I opted for Mass at a closer parish versus where I’m a registered parishioner. En route to this parish, I notice very near to it a few cars pulled off the side of the road, and what appears to be an injured elderly man, bleeding. I put on my hazards, instructed my kiddos to stay in the car, and pulled over. I assure you nothing heroic happened, but seeing as I’m a RN, I wanted to offer help to this elderly gentleman. He was dehydrated, in a state of cognitive impairment, and bleeding (yes, cardiac condition and accompanying anticoagulant therapy).
I was consequently even later to Mass. However, I’m inclined to think that perhaps God wanted me there? That in my lateness He was able to bring some good out of the situation.
I am sharing because it was almost like a consolation- that God can bring good out of our imperfections and flawed state. I hope you find God using you for good in your life too, even when it’s imperfect and messy.
God bless!!!

I'm 19 with two kids, an infant and a toddler. I'm living with my dad at his house along either my boyfriend. I am very grateful to be here even though I don't deserve to be here.
I am a POS mother, partner and daughter. I don't want to go into details but I tend to be a hypocrite, take advantage of others for my own benefit and lie. I explode daily at my kids or my partner for things that can be easily fixed but are just annoying because I am the one that has to fix them.
I am unheard and unseen by my partner, it feels. He engages in conversation with me but when it comes to serious matters he nods his head and doesn't follow through. All I want is to be better appreciated as a mother and treated more like a lover instead of a roommate and maid. This has lead to numerous screaming matches, me kicking him out twice and then begging him to come home, and I hit Jim a couple of times a long time ago. I know these are not healthy behaviors especially when wr have children. I would like to improve my relationship with him rather than break it off.
My kids are a handful and I know it's not their fault. I have been a horrible mother by disciplining my toddler the wrong way and trying to distract them throughout the day instead of engaging them. I just don't want to deal with it. I lay in bed and hope they will leave me alone and play.
I smoke weed everyday and mooch some off my dad when I have none. I can't hold down a job, and suck in school when though the world was handed to me by foster care. I don't clean much and barely shower unless my boyfriend is. I look dirty, I'm nearly 180 pounds at 5 feet tall, nothing fits right on me anymore and I am just not the old me.
I have therapy coming up on the 13th which I am excited about. I'm scared that things will improve inside my head but what about my external problems? My bf that Hates cleaning up after himself, is defensive when confronted about these issues instead of understanding which leads to arguments, my disdain and regret for being a mother and deciding to have my children, will it ever end?
I have zero motivation. I want to be a good (eventual) wife and mother. Sometimes I'm wondering if these problems are all in my head and I have a perfect family and I'm the only one with an issue. I seem to be the only one nagging and unhappy about how my partner cleans and cares for the kids (as in he does it poorly).
If I could pack my bags and get the he' ll out of here with no baggage on my back I would. I'm exhausted. I can't believe I did this to myself at such a young age. I want to get better.

Found myself volunteering in an area of the country where DoorDash doesn’t have much service at all. In fact nothing after about 9-10 pm. Typically Uber Eats shuts down early and Door Dash has drivers late at night. So I cancelled my DoorDash.
The other night I was in an area a bit further south near more restaurants and checked DoorDash for a burger and some fried chicken around 11 and BOOM, like 10 restaurants. I quick put in a couple restaurant orders. When I finished the first one, it said “submitting this order will reactivate your 9.99 DoorDash subscription”. I thought WTF, they have service here.
20 mins goes by and no driver, 40 still nothing, 60 and they cancel the order. Then the second order fails, I reorder at two different restaurants, same result. Nothing. Finally fell asleep hours later with one in the queue, it failed too.
Fucking DoorDash heisted me on getting a renewal fee knowing full well they don’t have drivers here either. 10 miles south.

I am currently employed at a job that I have been in for nearly 6 months. It occurred to me quite early on how carefree the boss is with money. So I started taking little amounts here and there at first like $20-$50 to see if anything was said and nothing was said and eventually started building up the amount. I am currently taking up to $5000 a week from my employer and no one has said anything. As of typing this confession I have stolen about $25,000 and have no plan on stopping. I have paid off all my debts and life is good now. And I will fully accept the consequences if and when they arise. Until then I’m living on easy street.

tldr (i’d be so grateful if people read it all): i’m struggling very much with eating lately. i used to have it under control, but i heavily dislike eating. is eating junk food better than always being in a calorie deficit? it’s so hard and i just want to eat 1,200-1,300 with as little food as possible, without supplements, and extremely easy to make. as easy as you can make it.
i’m so tired of eating. i’m trying to at least eat at my bmr everyday, but lately i’m struggling so much and i don’t know why. i already didn’t like eating before and my normal was around 1,200 to 1,300 calories a day. i wasn’t good at timing my eating and often felt upset and lethargic because i needed more food in that moment. i already struggled with making food too, but now it’s awful. something happened in my personal life too which really fucked me up, but even though it wasn’t near as bad as it seemed and the horrible thing that was going to happen didn’t, i’m still like this.
my mental health just plummeted. i’m so upset all the time. i’m so stressed. i never liked eating, but i still ate at least. yesterday was better, but not enough. i ate 1,000 calories. 5/31 was 800, 5/30 was 800, 5/29 was 1,000, 5/28 was 700, and 5/27 was 900. honestly i wouldn’t care if it wasn’t for the fact that i’m on adderall and since i have to go to the doctor monthly, i’m afraid my doctor will take it away.
i know adderall kills your appetite, but i was still able to keep it under control. i don’t want gain weight even though i probably should. i’m just so tired of eating so tired of this. it’s so awful to have to do something i don’t want to do every day, multiple times a day. eating makes me feel awful now. i’m not obsessed with my weight, but i think i’d probably feel bad about myself even if i’d be at a normal weight. i want to be underweight because i like how i look, but most of all i just dislike eating so much. it’s so hard and i just to eat 1,200-1,300 with as little food as possible, without supplements, and extremely easy to make. does this sound like an eating disorder too? i know it’s not anorexia…

Me (M30) dating girlfriend (F30) have been dating for nearly 2 years. We lived in different cities and did long distance for a while and everything worked so smoothly and great. Both have similar values, sex life was great. Girlfriend moved to my city to move-in with me. She has spurts of happiness and the relationship seems very healthy as we talk about kids and marriage etc. but ever since she moved here I feel like she doesn’t really enjoy it here and wishes she was back where she was before. She’s had work issues etc. since moving here; which makes me worry about her happiness tremendously. On top of that, I also work a demanding and very stressful job. So on top of feeling guilty and being worried about her being happy here, my cortisol levels reach near highs every day which leaves me with very little to no sex drive at the end of the day. She swears she’s fine here; but the lack of sex and me initiating sex is really bothering her despite me opening up about all the above mentioned..not really sure what to do at this point because I’ve never loved anyone this much; but she doesn’t seem willing to help me through this issue. Does anyone have any experience with this and if so, how did you get through it?
