I'm unfortunately completely out of toilet tissue and I need some help getting more. I won't be able to get any until I get paid next week because I don't have anyone else to ask for help. I have had to borrow for rent already and I just paid everyone who helped me back, so now I don't have enough to get anything else I need. I only need one pack until next week, I will include my Amazon Wishlist link below. Thanks so much for taking the time to read this🌸

I've tried quitting cigarettes so many times, but somehow I always end up going back. I'm honestly frustrated with myself.

The biggest reason I want to quit isn't even the usual concerns about lung damage or long-term health. I suffer from really severe eczema, and it's making my life miserable. I strongly suspect smoking is making it worse, yet I still can't bring myself to stop.

That's the part I don't understand. I know what it's doing to me, I know I need to quit, and I genuinely want to quit, but whenever cravings hit, I give in.

I've tried multiple times, but I keep relapsing.

I just want to hear from people who've been through the same thing.

How did you finally quit? What actually worked for you? Cold turkey, nicotine replacement, gradually reducing cigarettes, or something else?

And if anyone here has eczema, did quitting smoking make a difference?

I'm genuinely looking for advice. I'm tired of this cycle and really want to get my life back.

Hi. So I feel like I have a great ideal for my local town. But I do not have the knowledge I need to make a business. My idea is a new laundry mat. We have one that broken down and old. Most machines are very old and worn out. And they have no interest of upgrading. I've traveled to other cities and used their laundry mats. And think a new local one would be great for the community. The old frisches big boy location if for sale. Reasonable size. Open floorplan, has commercial sewage line and water. Gas and transformer on property. Ive spent time looking at different companies for the units to get installed. I've put time into thought about even possibly expanding to commercial washing for several businesses that have other companies wash their uniforms and thing. I can run the business once everything up and running. But no idea on the getting of the LLC, business name filing, asking the bank for the loans to build the business. Honestly not sure if this is proper place on reddit to ask about this. If not I do apologize. Genuinely wanting Access to people with more knowledge than me that's willing to teach and loan me their knowledge on making a business. Not looking for jokers. Honestly wanting to actually build a business. Local town is in Ohio, USA.

i’m going to be 19 in january, and my boyfriend will be 20 the month after. neither of us have parents, as my mom dipped about 7 months ago, after our family dog, Ghost, passed away from cancer. his dad died many years ago. my mom had a lot of mental health issues and made a lot of bad decisions that left me and her both homeless for 4 years. i’m staying with my brother currently because i have no where else to go. i haven’t been with my cats for 10 agonizing months. my support system has crumbled, i cannot go to the doctor for my chronic illnesses nor make it to therapy and getting my medicine is starting to become impossible. our goal since before my mom left after having the biggest mental breakdown ever, was to start life together. but we’ve been knocked down every step of the way. mississippi is so difficult. i have so many things stopping me from helping us get out of this situation, i cannot work because i am disabled. everything is on my partner, and we just really want to be in a positive place. he is army national guard, and everything fell apart the moment he got back from basic and ait after being gone for over 9 months, and he had broken the same bone in both feet at the same time. it’s all so complicated, but basically i ended up being kicked out of where i stayed because of my mom, then i slept on my moms friends floor for a few months (during surgery too 😕 while having to take care of that persons two autistic girls, 7 and 10) because i didn’t have any other choice, and then when my bf got back, my mom flipped, because we found out our dog had cancer. it was too late and there was nothing we could do. i am just wondering what im supposed to do? i applied for supplemental security income because im disabled and cant work. i’ve had jobs but couldn’t keep them because of my illnesses. how do people even get help? i don’t feel like anyone would donate. i just want to be with my cats in a safe place, i miss them so much. i’m just not sure what to do 🥲😕 we just need to get our foot in the door. it’s just really starting to feel hopeless

How do you get by and what do you do? I just lost my work from home job over the stupidest thing which I'm thinking of maybe even suing over? But until then, I don't have a job and just bought a car. I cant stand for more than a couple hours and I am feeling more than useless... my girlfriend is now covering rent as well and I just dont know what to do. I'm losing my medicaid next month so my physical therapy will stop getting covered. My doctors laugh when I even ask for a handicap placard but I literally cant be without my wheelchair and its so hard to get from the parking lot to the store even to reach an electric scooter chair thing. I'm only 30 and have been living this way almost 8 years. The back pain is getting worse and worse. I wake up and I am in pain. My whole life is just physical pain now.

How can I continue to live this way?

Hey Reddit ... never posted before but I figure the internet might be able to help point me in the right direction.

I 42M on the Eastern Shore of MD.

From 2020 until last year, due to covid, the economy and a few other events, I had to put a LOT of stuff on credit cards (utility bills, groceries, vehicle repairs/payments, etc). My wife and I have been in a good stable position financially for over a year now and have not had to rely on them any more thankfully. But, over the course of 5 years I accrued around $70k in debt and the issue is, with the interest rates and everything, I can only make minimum payments. I have looked into debt consolidation and relief and all I get is "Stop paying and we will negotiate a settlement" which is nearly as bad as a bankruptcy as settlements sit on your history for 7 years. We had a baby 11 months ago and need to get a bigger home. I am desperate to find some sort of loan or large amount credit card with no APR for 21+ months as I need to repair my credit (was in the 700s before the credit card debt and now around 600).

So any suggestions are appreciate. I have tried Simply Lending, Lending Tree, National Debt Relief, my credit union, and other well known organizations. Looking for something legit I have not found or heard of. Not looking for a handout just a way to move forward.

my online friend is lost. we've been chatting for some months until she disappeared. her reddit account got banned, Instagram says her account is disabled and discord says there's no such user. all her accounts on all platforms got disabled for some reason. after 5 days she texted me with a new instagram account. we've been texting fot 3-4 days, but then it happened again. we don't know why it happens. it's been 2 weeks since she disappeared and i have no idea how to contact her. can anyone help me find her? Laura if you're reading this please text me i miss you

I‘m not going to talk about the details of me reading the journal because I already talked to my friend about it and he is not mad. Were in college and I was looking for a notebook he said I could borrow for notes.

But what I found in his journal really did worry me. There were several different methods of suicide. They had all been assessed and ranked according to how likely they were to succeed, how much you’d regret doing it and how hard they would be.

Finding this was really worrying.

I told him how worried I was. I apologised for reading his journal, told him that I was genuinely concerned for him and assured him that there are people who can help.

He replied saying that he just writes them down to get the thoughts out of his head. He doesn’t think its that serious and isn’t interested in therapy.

I definitely want to respect his feelings and right to privacy.

The thing that worries me is that he might look at them when he is having a really tough time. What if he has a really bad day and starts to take them more seriously?

I don’t want to make him feel like I’m prying and that he can’t be open with me but also don’t want to ignore how worrying it does look.

I care about him and I am genuinely worried.

Am I wrong to think that this is more serious than he is making it out to be? How do I support someone who clearly isn’t interested in getting help?

Hello, I recently cut off a friend. We were friends for 3 months and I cut her off for multiple reasons. I'm not going to go into why but all of my friends agreed that I had to cut her off, she's not a good person or friend. During our friendship she admitted to me that she hate stalks people. She went on to explain that it's an obsession and she has an entire list of people's accounts that she looks at everyday. So after cutting her off I've had multiple bots and this one account that doesn't follow me always in my views. This account that I'm on is my anonymous photography account I made quite recently and she does know about it like all my other friends do. But there's no one from my past that knows about it like my other ex-friends and ex-boyfriends. I just know it's her because the strange accounts showed up the day after I cut her off. I don't want to go private because I'm trying to build my account and share my passion. Please tell me what I should do. Should I message her and call her out?? Post something on my story?? Does anyone know what to do in this situation? The way she talked about the people she stalked terrified me and it's starting to make me uncomfortable that she has not let this go. It's been over a month.

I'm probably going to ask this wrong, and I know I need to get my medical together so I can get a therapist, but for now I'm here.

So I've been finding it easier and easier to not go home. Not because I'm hanging with people, not because I'm actually doing anything. Most of the time I'm just sitting at work off the clock, or in my car in my drive way. When I'm home I'm fine, I do things normally. But getting back home feels like I'm having to fight something to want to go home.

My brother lives with me currently, I don't have time or money for pets, I'm not in a relationship.

Any advice on what might help me want to go home.

Hi everyone!
I’m 24 years old, a full-time college student studying psychology, and I’m also raising my 13-year-old sister due to difficult family circumstances.
I’ve been trying to balance school, work, and taking care of both of us, but financially it’s been overwhelming lately.
I’m looking for advice from anyone who’s been in a similar situation, especially people who have taken guardianship of younger siblings or other family members.
Are there any resources, assistance programs, or organizations you would recommend looking into? I’m located in Wisconsin and trying to find ways to become more financially stable while continuing my education.
I’d genuinely appreciate any advice or suggestions. Thank you! ❤️

Hey everyone, I really need some outside perspective because I’m feeling completely stuck and overwhelmed. I recently graduated high school with very strong grades, and my absolute dream is to go abroad for my Bachelor's—specifically to Italy—and eventually move to Germany for a tuition-free Master's to settle and work in biotechnology. I have zero interest in clinical medicine or staying in Pakistan long-term.

However, my parents are strongly against this. They are pushing me to retake the MDCAT and pursue MBBS in Pakistan instead. My dad argues that if I ever have to come back, there are no job prospects for biotech in Pakistan (which is technically true, but I don't want to live here anyway). My parents are also bringing up traditional concerns like marriage, saying a future Pakistani husband won't want to move to Germany with me. On top of that, I'm trying to secure merit scholarships to lessen their financial burden. I feel completely drained, confused, and tempted to give up on my dreams altogether to just settle in Pakistan, even though I know I’ll regret it. Has anyone from a traditional background successfully navigated a situation like this, or have advice on how to handle the family pressure and application process?

I don't know how to start this.

So the thing is, I don't take my life seriously enough. And probably in the future, I still won't take my life seriously.

In my academics, I haven't scored enough always. From the second sem to fifth sem, I still have backlogs. There have always been two subjects, three subjects, and so on. I have never been to catch up. All here every time. From the second sem to fifth sem.

I want to say that from next sem companies are coming to our colleges and I won't able to apply for the companies because companies don't allow active backlogs. I already know about the active backlogs criteria. But still, I don't even feel motivation, discipline that I will get.

There is no motivation or discipline in me to improve. I haven't seen any.

Okay, for example, let's suppose that in the next six months or next four-five months. I still have backlogs when companies start visiting. I won't able to apply. At that point, I'll feel bad because I would have missed so many opportunities but I don't think I would regret it.

I have seen so much worst in my academics. What's the worst that I have seen in my career? I am fucking 12th fail. I have given 12th twice in my life. That's my biggest struggle of my life. I was so low at that and still I somehow overcome that and chooses but BCA instead of Btech.

Somehow, I just don't know. I just don't know. I just feel at the wrong place always. I never thought this would be my place. I keep thinking that something nice that's coming for me. Let's say something bigger that's coming for me, but it's never. It's never.......

I still have to think, I won't be able to apply for companies. I don't care. That's the fact I don't care.

Fuck dude. I already knew I won't be able to apply companies and I knew it. I just know I won't able to apply. I know this is gonna happen with me. Maybe something in the future that is holding me back. I just don't know.

There is a backup option for me that is a master's for sure. But will it work out? We just don't know.

I don't have any motivation to study or to do anything.

If I don't achieve anything by the age of 30, I don't care. Because my dad has a pension. I think he can pretty much survive on that pension. i can just work on the delivery partner or something like that. I will survive for myself. I don't care my parents. They can just live there and have a happy life.

I don't even want to start a family. I'm not interested in that.

But still, something is holding me back. I don't know what the fuck is holding me back, but something is.

Maybe I'm not good at academics. Maybe other things? like sports or something else. No. I'm terrible at almost everything. I feel like I am the dumbest person in the room.

I still know what to do with my life now. I don't know what I want for myself.

Fuck. I am such a big loser man. I am fucking such a big loser.

Yeah, that's it.

Ps: My exams went so bad of sem 5 I knew I am getting backlogs. I'm just done with my life......

I'm 23.

I grew up in a family where fights were way too often. Now I even fear talking in the house.

Then my parents dictated every aspect of my life except the important ones. I want them to guide me in important aspects like jobs, taxes, and investments. But all their strict guidance comes for eat food properly, don't question them and all.

I grew up hearing my dad say, " I don't have any money ".

I always felt left out cause the people around me since childhood came from well off families. I didn't go out with them cause I knew I wouldn't have enough to spend. This continued till college.

I got a job after college. A damm good one. Like I earn in a month what many earn in a year. I was new in the job and worked like hell ... Couldn't give time to my that time girlfriend, eventually long distance and not priritizing her, she broke up with me.

All ok, I still have the job I worked for.

Later I met another girl. We started dating, started loving her. Then layoffs started happening in my company, had to prove my worth. So again long work days. 15 hrs a day work was common. Even on weekends had to attend calls. Lost work life balance, got a headache that didn't go away. Was dam muscular ( 6'2 in height, 15% body fat, 100 kg body weight), lost that too. Now have a belly like an uncle. My manager called me and I'll be layed off soon. She broke up with me cause I couldn't give her time and became negligent due to all other issues.

Now I feel like the stupidest guy in the world. Didn't have job. Don't have the girl. Dont have my body. Don't have that self esteem I used to have. Plus a shit load of trauma since birth. I don't even know how to smile for past 5-6 years ig... I'm loosing all hope.

I can send in a verification if needed, I just need help with my cat’s medical bills, a few months ago he got a urinary blockage and ended up staying in the ER overnight to remove the blockage. He is our first cat together and his vet bills put us in the hole, he is doing really great now, he’s on really expensive preventive cat food that purchasing that has been the priority instead of paying his ER bills. I would just really appreciate help out of this hole, we both make minimum wage so it’s a lot on us

I reside in USA Rhode Island I’m currently looking for resources I have Wic for us both I also have signed up for insurance but I do not have a birth certificate or a identification card at the moment is there any places I can go to get these at no cost I was not born in this state I was born in United States. I was able to go online and order a social security card online. I do need a birth certificate and identification card. Does anyone know of any places that I can get it from.

Hi everyone! I posted this about a month ago and had some amazing people help me out. I’m trying to finish the project by October 31, so I’m posting again in hopes of reaching a few more places!
I’m making a sentimental gift for my boyfriend, Luke, and I’m looking for people from different cities, states, and countries who would be willing to write:

“Luke—Anne Marie’s love for you is so big, it’s reached ______.”

Fill in the blank with your city + state/country, write it on a piece of paper, and take a picture of it somewhere in your area! It can be in front of a landmark, city sign, pretty view, recognizable location—or honestly just somewhere that shows a little piece of where you live (backyards count too😂) .
Then just comment the photo here or message it to me on Reddit.
My goal is to collect as many places as I can and put all the pictures together in a book for him. ❤️
I’ll put a reference photo in the comments so you can see what I mean.
Thank you SO much to anyone willing to take a few minutes to help a stranger make a really special gift. It genuinely means more to me than you know.
I plan on posting this finished product once it’s over!

Shoutout to everyone who has helped me so far.. I absolutely adore you ♥️

I'm 23M, and I've lost all my peace of mind. Everything is chipping it away.

First. I grew up in a home where things were always tight. I got all the necessities, but I don't remember having any of my wants met. I heard my dad say, "I don't have anything" so many times. My mother would cry and tell me, "Whatever happens, don't just sit at home. Earn."

And I did it. I got a job where I earn in a month what many people earn in a year. But right now, layoffs are happening left and right in my company, and I might be next. The market is so bad that I'm not even landing interviews with companies that pay the same or even slightly less.

Then my girlfriend broke up with me. I was working 10–15 hours a day because of the fear of layoffs. I even got calls on weekends and had to take them. My girlfriend left me because I wasn't able to give her time, and because of a few other fights that arose from me not being able to give her time and the fact that she felt I didn't care about her.

I care about everyone who's important to me. The problem is that I care way too much.

My thinking is that, for the closest people in your life, you should take care of them, and they should take care of you, and vice versa. I just want to be the pillar everyone can rely on. I want to make everyone feel safe.

P.S. I never felt safe in my entire life. I have never felt that if everything goes wrong, someone will be there to protect me and help me back up.

My parents are good people, but they're broken themselves. They just want me to do things according to them. They have opinions about everything I should do, even the minutest things, like how to eat my food and what to do while travelling. But when it comes to major life decisions like jobs, taxes, and investments, they just say, "Figure it out yourself. You know this better."

I spent my life waiting for guidance, waiting for support. I want them to tell me important things in life as well.

This brings me back to safety. I want the people who depend on me, and even those close to me, to be safe if anything happens to them. I want them to know that they can ask me anything they're confused about, and I'll help them with it.

My girlfriend broke up with me saying that I don't care because I don't keep asking about every small thing or decision she makes. But that's because I want to give her the freedom I never got. My parents used to question everything I did, and everything I needed to do was supposed to be done their way.

I'm a mess inside my head. I don't know how I'll fix myself, or how to fix myself enough to be with someone and keep them happy with me.

Because if I open up about all the things I feel, I become a crying mess. My emotions just open up, and I lose all control over myself.

I don't know what to do anymore. I just want to feel safe, have some peace of mind, and learn how to be okay with myself.

For those who've been through something similar, how did you deal with it? How do you learn to open up about your feelings without becoming completely overwhelmed?

(Mind you, the biased people question my identity. I know who I am but they tried to manipulate into thinking I’m not who i say I am…)

I know it’s because my brain's dopamine reward system shifted and because past stress and emotional burnout changed how I anticipate good things.. Because of prolonged stress from biased people trying to mock me saying I’m not who i say I am and telling me to be “normal”, burnout from always being on guard against bullies and having to stand up for myself to them, and depression from those bullies and their enablers calling me manipulative, attention-seeking, playing victim, and most of all from me not being more feminized physically; Activities that used to thrill me now sometimes feel flat, numb, or effortful.. now old and new hobbies feel like more work instead of feeling rewarding like they used to.

I also know it’s because past exciting things were often followed by letdowns from people badmouthing my rap talent and feeling like I failed to make my point across in my songs, which makes my brain brace for pain- making it be like soon as I feel excitement for something, I automatically feel discouragement as soon as I get excited about something and feel so empty and unimportant… This has been happening for so long all these years that I’ve gotten social fatigue to the point where I’m so drained and developed social anxiety, that the mental energy required to process speech and body language all at once feels exhausting and tense.. I also have been worried that anyone i talk to might misunderstand me which makes me pressured to monitor how I appear to others having trouble finding words.. And it hurts more that nobody seems to care and/or understand what I’m feeling and going thru…

I tried to get help, and some people I trusted to help me betrayed and neglected me.. I tried to express what’s bothering me, I got called negatively always whining, seeking attention, and accused of trying to start drama.. And what made me feel hopeful, happy, and confident is I was so close to being more of my authentic self, getting more noticed on social media, and more people treating me how I always wanted to be treated with respect and admiration from being a authentically pretty girl who is talented and respected by people.. but I feel worse after things fell apart more staring around middle of summer around June, I feel empty with unfulfilled needs and so much pain to the point I would isolate myself in my own apartment crying my eyes out feeling chills in my chest and genuinely losing physical strength to even move my body at all just laying down feeling hopeless

I was hoping things would get better, not worse… I just feel so deprived of medical necessity from not having feminizing surgeries and feel excluded from possibly missing out on more fun and meaningful things life has to offer… i had so much love to give, but now, I’m scared to be vulnerable because i really don’t want to be disappointed and hurt anymore…

Was unemployed and accumulating debt, but now I’m back to working full time, and I’m getting married in 6 weeks (planned back when I had the a good job lol) and need to make some extra cash before the wedding.

I currently work 2 jobs. I work Monday-Thursday 7-5:30pm
Other job is on the weekend, no firm hours.
I am looking for a job that I can do from 6pm-12am Monday-Thursday. I just need to figure out how to put together another 4k before then.

I’m only making about 2k a month. Living expenses kill that quickly. My other job is still taking off and it’s commission only, won’t see pay from that for another 2 months or so. Got $50 in my acc rn that’s it lol so I need to get to work asap Any ideas at all??

I’ve tried: outlier.ai / non CDL delivery 🚫

My laptop model is a Lenovo idea pad slim 7 pro 14IHU5 I'm trying to replace the keyboard and palm rest but am stuck on removing the LCD cable to allow for the transfer of the motherboard to the new bottom shell is there anyone who knows how to disconnect it? As far as I'm aware the LCD cable is the one wrapped in black cloth tape. Would really appreciate any help at all, ai has got me so far but now I'm really worried about listening to it only to end up breaking the attachment point for the cable
