I'm currently taking an early childhood education course in college. It's an "early college" opportunity, it's over the course of two semester and a summer class. I'm in the second class right now. My grade is at 37%, and has been slowly dropping. I got my first A+ in the summer class, so it's jarring. I was homeschooled my whole life for context and never got grades since my mom didn't think they were useful or good for me (which I agree with). That was my first graded class ever and I was and am really proud of my performance. The summer course was in person and intense, challenging. I liked it. It was consistent and i was doing hands on stuff. But now it's online and I feel a disconnect. I started a sticker chart but didn' make it past a day. Mom even agreed to take me to my favorite ice cream shop. I open my computer to do my assignments and back out because all i feel is guilt and instant overwhelm. Even when I do start it's hard to focus, and when i put it down for the day i never finish. I need help but I don't want to put too much on mom or handicap myself or something by not doing anything myself. I know that's so stupid and irrational and my mom wants to help but also she struggles to be there as much as i need her. Emotionally she is always there but outside of that it depends. She keeps telling me i need to "learn how to just push through it and get things done" and I'm trying (not really, it feels like) but it feels like i take one step forward and three steps back. I never get any consequences, and that doesn't work well with ADHD and depression. I don't want to do things, it fees like i'm fighting myself. i get stuck. either i do the thing i want to do and not the thing i need to do and feel intense guilt or i do neither and am stuck, because part of me knows i have to do it but part of me is fighting with everything it has to not do it and i lock up and freeze and just spiral. i don't know what to do. i hate it, i hate not feeling like im able to do anything. i hate opening canvas and the only thing going through my head being intense guilt and wanting to drop out. i have three more months of this. im stuck and i feel like i need help but i dont know how i need help or where to even get it.

As the title says. It's a childhood dream. Played the game when i was 6-9, maybe a touch older. I just got back into it. Anyone able to actually achive this, if so, you got proof by chance? (I just wanna see what it looks like lol). If not, how close have you gotten?

We have two ferrets. Mouse and Took. Mouse we were told was two when we got her (supposedly. She was heavily neglected and we think she might be a bit older) and is ~5 right now, maybe six if our suspicions are correct. She was the first of our three, the two brothers came after. Fred passed away a couple years ago. Took is happy and healthy, but we need to get him another playmate soon since Mouse is slowing down. Mouse herself has adrenal disease. She was diagnosed a few months ago and given the initial shot, but my mom hasn't taken Yuka (old old old nickname for brother) to the vet yet to get her other shots. They're supposed to be monthly... Mom is considering not getting the other shots since they're so expensive. They're 130$ a month, aka 1,560 a year. We're middle class with one income, i think we could afford it, just for her last little while, even if that means tightening our budget. Additionally, Mouse is Yuka's girl. That's his baby. She's his entire world. The thing I'm most concerned about is when Mouse does pass away. He's currently in a very dark place, he just got out of a very abusive relationship and is very depressed. I'm worried what would happen is Mouse passed away. And also it's not humane to let her suffer like that, so the other option is humane euthanasia. I don't know what to do. I'm only 17, and the ferrets belong to Yuka and mom, not me. If you could share experiences, advice, or even just tell me that letting her go is the best option, it's so very much appreciated. This is my first (and will likely be my only) post on this sub. I didn't know where else to go.

Fed the dogs and dad stuck a full pizza slice in both their bowls. I felt i couldn't say anything because he'd brush it off, but was anxious because there was onion on it and i didn't know if that was safe. There were only a couple pieces of onion on each, but now my anxiety is going buck wild after googling. Both are purebred GSD, one is a 8yo female who weighs around 60 pounds, and one is a 6yo male who weighs about 85 pounds. Should i be worried? Or will they be okay?

Hi. I have an 8yo female GSD named Bella. She's west German working line, though I'm not sure if that matters much. She has horrible flea allergies, and anxiety. We keep up with flea meds (we use pet armor+ for large dogs), but sometimes we run out without realizing and she instantly gets fleas. Her skin gets itchy, irritated and flaky, and she chews on it a ton and it causes more irritation, hotspots, and hair loss. I'm trying to get my mom to get Dr Itchy's oatmeal/zinc lotion, but it's on the expensive side and I'm not sure it'll happen. We give her oatmeal baths, and treat her hotspots with chlorhexidine solution (watered down a ton), and it seems to help. Her anxiety makes her scratching/licking/chewing worse, she does it as a stress reliever. Just a few weeks ago she chewed off a huge patch on her tail to the point of bleeding in just two days. I'm worried about her. I love her to death, she was my first dog and my favorite of the two. She's such a sweetheart, I hate seeing her so uncomfortable and having to feel how itchy she is every time I pet her. Her skin is so flaky and her fur is noticeably thin near the base of her tail. Any recommendations for things that may help?

Side note, maybe unrelated, idk: My mom also uses ChatGPT, so I don't fully trust her judgement on everything.

I just found out about it yesterday. Sibling joined a couple days ago, their partner had joined much earlier than them. Not sure exactly. I just joined to briefly poke around and see what's going on. According to sibling, a volunteer was making everyone uncomfortable (talking about "asmr" that was really porn audio) and the mods even when pinged were basically like "idk man what do you want me to do??". Multiple people in the conversation used a server function called topic change and the person didn't listen. My friend (who is sibling's partner) (TW: Suicide) >!witnessed someone commit suicide. I think they saw it on camera, and it was extremely traumatizing. The mods did nothing, sibling said they basically "gave up".!< This server has everyone between 13 and 50+. Most are minors seeking help but I'm worried this system is causing more harm than good. The "emergency responders" are volunteers with no background checks or training and half of them (or more) are also minors. My friend signed up to try and help but is overwhelmed and witnessed that. This seems like a very faulty system, and given the context, a dangerous one. I don't know what to do. I want to report it but don't know where to start.

I've been wanting to get my hair done for a while now. I got a "layered cut" a couple years ago, but not the lightening I wanted. The stylist also clearly wasn't familiar with curly hair and cut it so it was less "poofy". I have since learned more about my hair and how to care for and love it, and don't want to have my curls treated like a fault again. The stylist also didn't part my hair very well, and I ended up with uneven curtains. I want above shoulder length hair, and a peek-a-boo style and also same colored bangs, lightened with a sort of strawberry blonde color. My hair is naturally a light brown/dark blonde, and is 3A I think, leaning on 3B in some areas. Currently it's just past shoulder height. My friend is saying "have fun paying 600$", and that professionals use the same box dyes/beaches you get off the shelf in stores. They dyed my sibling's hair, and while it looked great, the hair is still extremely brittle and dead. They had it dyed by the friend Halloween last year, it is still in that state. I don't want that for my hair, and as much as I love my friend and admire them for doing their own hair (I don't have that confidence), I don't want them doing mine. I want to know what to look for in stylists, dyes, and lighteners, and also whether my friend was right, red flags in stylists, really anything. This is fairly new to me and again, last time didn't go well (it was rushed). I had looked it up and got that professionals use different brands and developers, but they seemed so confident. I also included some images. I'm on my laptop, and my phone camera is horrible, so I tried to find images off of google that were as accurate as possible to what I have and what I want. The curly hair image is a bit longer than mine is now, but almost the same color and curl tightness. Mine is just a little lighter. The second image is the color I want for my underside and bangs. The third image is the length I want it, and a similar style, except I would like curtain bangs if possible with my hair type. I'm sorry if this is kind of jumbled or doesn't fit the subreddit. Any and all advice and feedback is welcome.

This is the post of a person with ADHD and a hyperfixation. I am currently writing a story. There is one scene that started this rabbit hole, and it's not even related to the layout of the house. However, I am curious now. I need to find a subreddit that houses people who can tell me what stuff about house layout, style, and architecture in the west coast, specifically stuff that is typical of houses there that makes it easier to live in that environment. I don't think I'm making sense. To give an example, I live in the southwest. It's humid here, and gets really hot. Houses are typically built with a door on both sides of the house, and a layout that allows for optimal airflow. This way, you can open both doors and have a breezy draft through the house. Another common feature in screened in porches/patios, since mosquitos rule the land. Over on the east coast, houses are built with the main living spaces on the second floor, and a garage on the first. Often they'll have support beams as well, though that's usually under porches/patios. The supports and bases are deeply rooted into the earth. The reasoning being that we get sniped by hurricanes a lot, and people living in those areas are no stranger to flooding and erosion. In colder areas where it snows a lot, roofs are sometimes built more steeply to avoid the weight of snow damaging them. Wood vs stone, windows (like how here in america are windows open up vs in europe where they open sideways), etc. Where can I ask/post about this?

Hi. I just started using canvas for the first time. I just finished my first quiz on there. I am 99% certain I got everything correct. I was incredibly busy over the weekend and my teacher switched around the date it was due, so I didn't see it until after it wa closed. She opened it back up for those of us who wanted to try it again or didn't see it. During class today she did a recap on it, asking the questions verbally, so i knew most of the answers going in. I got 90/100 points, each question being worth 10. One of them you had to hand type the answer. Do those get graded automatically or does she have to go in and check it? I double checked the rest of my answers too, so I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do here.
