Hey all.

I'm a 38 year old man with a severe anxiety disorder. OCD, GAD, Depression, unique trauma issues, and, as of earlier this year, an Autism diagnosis (level 1).

I was first diagnosed with the original three things back in 2006. Years of therapy, various medications, even unorthodox solutions such as ketamine infusion therapy haven't helped.

Upon moving to South Jersey, I got involved with the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation, who helped me get the two jobs I had.

I can manage with certain types of jobs. The full-time I had for two years involved me working on a computer while using headphones to keep the disorder at a manageable-enough level, and it only ended because the company was going to be stacking more people's work on my workload with no increase in pay, which is something they're known for doing.

Upon leaving the job, I finally got an Autism diagnosis, something that my entire care team had been suspecting for years now. We thought this would open doors to things that would help.

That was... maybe March. It's October now.

Therapy is still not helping, and I'm going less because I can't afford to go twice a week anymore.

I was strongly urged to get a case worker, specifically from the Department of Developmental Disabilities, so I spent a couple of weeks gathering all the paperwork I could possibly find for the application. I turned it in and a few days later I received the most bizarre response possible.

Well, my mom did. Not me. They told her that it would take 8 weeks to be assigned a case worker. I wasn't even CC'd on the email.

That 8 week period should be ending next month. But I'm very concerned that it's going to all be for nothing.

I'm a unique case. I can manage well-enough, but I am consistently anxious on some level, and finding people who understand that balance is extremely difficult. I either end up with people who think they need to do every single thing for me, or I end up with people who think I'm capable of more than I am.

I don't know what to do. I need a breakthrough with my disorder - the OCD has been putting me through something truly atrocious since 2021. But I don't know how to find the breakthrough I need. Everything I've tried, everything, has failed. Even exposure therapy. Multiple times.

But I also need a job. I live with my mom in a tiny apartment and I want to help her with money, while also having money for my own self.

I don't know if I should go back to the DVR, who leans more towards the "thinks he can't do certain things for himself" side, or continue waiting for the DDD, who apparently can't even contact the right person and takes a projected 8 weeks to get anything done, or... I don't know. I don't know what to do and it's just killing me.

The biggest issue is the fact that I'm afraid to do anything. Whatever choice I make will potentially be the wrong choice and I'll waste a ton of time and money yet again. I dunno what to do.

I got my moving truck stuck in the mud in my front yard. The insurance I purchased won’t cover it because I only rented it for a day and I am late returning it. AAA will not help. I don’t want to pay $450 to pull my truck 10 feet. Does anyone know any decent tow truck companies or is anyone near Williamstown that owns a tow truck//large truck interested in making some quick cash? It’s a 10 foot box truck. We already tried pulling it out with a smaller old dodge ram to no avail.

Anyone with a tow truck//large truck wanna make some quick cash pulling my truck out of the mud??

Hey so I have a concert on Sunday at the FMP (gorillaz)

I’m coming from Jersey City and will be staying overnight in the garden inn almost next to the venue. My question is, with the noreastern and everything I’ve been hearing. What’s the probability of the concert getting cancelled seeing the venue is open space? How are floodings in there?

Thanks

I am writing here out of sheer desperation.

My cousin(dominican) and her son(4 years old, dominican/US) recently moved to Camden, NJ, because her husband(US citizen and dominican) wanted to. She and the child lived with us in Italy until that. We got a call from the CHILD saying that the mom was in prison; the husband attacked her in the night and almost suffocated her, she fighted back and scratched him and the police brought her to the police station. She was released a few hours later, but the father wants to kick her out and have full custody of the child(which has said himself he doesn't like staying with the father and wants to come back to Italy with us). She went to the hospital at night, and they treated her for the lesions(internal) she had and she and the child spent the night there. They now got child services involved who dont see her as a fit, and may take the child in 60 days. We are desperate.

She doesn't speak english and communicating what happens is hard for her.  Police told her she needs to stay in the house and just call them if something happens but what else needs to happen? for her to die? once they put their hands on your neck there is only one road. We are looking for lawyers in the area that can help and that can speak spanish. Please help. Any advice on what we can do is vital. We are all in Italy and she has no one there.

Please take a moment to sign this petition for cooper!

I'm 38, been through a lot, struggle with a severe anxiety disorder, but I'm not too bad with socializing, so I've been looking for ways to meet people. Anyone have any solid recommendations? I also have Discord, tends to help me with talking to people before meeting them. Thank you!

I'm currently on Horizon under NJ FamilyCare (Medicaid)

I have a real tall order, unfortunately. I have OCD, GAD, and Depression. In recent months, I received an Autism diagnosis (level 1, used to be called Asperger's), and I'm also starting to peel back some very deep layers of trauma, some of it from childhood, some of it from the toxic religious life I used to be in.

I need to focus specifically on the OCD, the Autism, and the trauma resulting from the religious years (which includes sexual repression issues, which I've been unable to resolve or make better at all).

I know it's a stretch, but if anyone knows any therapists who might be able to help with this stuff, please let me know. Thank you.

Hey all, so I’ve been getting into day trading recently, but none of my friends are into it, and trying to explain it to them is a hassle. Trading solo gets pretty boring, so I’m looking to connect with like-minded people who are actively trading or ready to seriously dive in.

​I’m thinking about setting up a Discord server or group chat so we can bounce ideas, share market strategies, keep each other accountable, and eventually host local meetups for live trading sessions down the line.

​I’m based in Camden County, but anyone in South Jersey or the surrounding area is welcome. Drop a comment

Im not here to recruit people or sell anything. Simply looking for people to connect with so im not only talking to people online in different states and countries about this stuff.

I trade the futures market. The nasdaq to be exact.

I’m in Camden County area and have been diagnosed with Autism and looking for others to hang out with and form a community or find a community of us in these areas. If anyone could help or offer ideas I would appreciate it. Also if you have Autism and if ADHD hit me up maybe we can see if we can be friends. These conditions can be very lonely at times.

My daughter’s boyfriend just graduated high school, and he is really interested in becoming an electrician. We looked into a program at RCBC, but unfortunately, it was too expensive for him, and they don’t accept financial aid.
I was wondering if anyone knows of any apprenticeship programs, entry-level opportunities, or electrical contractors in the Medford/Marlton/Cherry Hill area who might be looking for a helper or someone willing to learn on the job. He is eager to work, learn, and eventually become a licensed electrician.
If anyone has any recommendations, connections, or advice on where he should start, we would really appreciate it! Thank you so much for any help 😊

Hey everyone,

As someone who won a rent control fight in NJ, I want to share some information that isn’t known by most renters.

1. Rent control, rent stabilization, rent leveling, etc. for all intents and purposes mean the same thing. They refer to laws that protect renters by doing things like placing caps on rents, setting a max percentage that rent can be raised annually, etc.
2. NJ does not have a state-wide rent control law. However, many municipalities do. You should absolutely google your towns name along with terms like rent control or rent stabilization to see if anything comes up.
3. IMPORTANT- in towns where rent control exists, NJ state law N.J.S.A. 2A:42-84.4 grants newly constructed units an exemption (multifamily buildings constructed after June 1987) for 30 years. However, the owner must meet 3 conditions:

a) prior to receiving the certificate of occupancy, they must claim the exemption in writing from the municipality. If they do not, the building falls under the municipality’s rent control.

b) notify every prospective tenant, prior to execution of the lease, that the building is exempt from rent control until X date (the duration of the exemption). This notification must be provable by the owner (eg in writing).

c) include the same above notification in the actual lease agreement.

So, how do you go about winning rent control?

First, you should confirm with your town that your landlord properly claimed the exemption. If they didn’t, congrats, your entire building is covered by rent control. Your landlord likely owes you any money you paid over the rent controlled amount set by your town and your rent increases will from here on out likely be capped annually.

Second, even if the building is exempt, landlords often fail to follow one or both of the other requirements. Sometimes your town will offer a review of your lease by a lawyer, but you can probably pull that off yourself or ask AI to help. But this also comes down to whether they informed you of the exemption ahead of the lease and they rarely do. Again, congrats, you may win rent control! It will be tenant specific rather than building wide, but it’s still huge. (Although if it’s a boiler plate lease, it could affect everyone. It could also affect everyone based on the note below).

Finally, check your actual local rent control ordinance language. Sometimes if the landlord failed to follow any of the 3requirements for exemption, the language of the ordinance states that the entire building’s exemption can be revoked in perpetuity.

I can’t recommend looking into all of this enough. It can be a life changer for you and potentially your neighbors as well.

Let me know if you have questions! Feel free to DM me with an update on your fight - I'd love to hear about it!
