Partner with chronic illnesses struggling to find their will in life and to get better

It's been incredibly difficult for my partner to have a chance at life, they're always living in survival mode and never had too much luck in life to begin with. But I am always supporting them and care the best I can, from the other side of the world.

They are in their 30's and cannot really function in society, experienced a lot of traumatic events and life changing things since a child. I would never wish on anyone what they have gone through ever and I admire their resilience very much. Self sabotage is a daily combat, their mind isn't a very kind place and we've been trying together to soothe that. But I am only a partner, can only do much.

The difficult parts are mostly their lack of support system, like at all. Chronic pain daily, sickness daily, inability to perform a regular life ( whatever that means ) or hold a job over a few months, very low self esteem worth as well as a plethora of mental health issues which are being treated with medications who from their words, doesn't do anything at all. Having a lack of power in their own life, feeling of hopelessness, even contacting local support lead to nowhere, 211 was a disaster, the hospital was dismissive of them many times. Unable to seek proper health care due to being poor, which is the vicious cycle of the disorders / disabilities and being unable to gain an income to have a stable roof over their head.

Thankfully, they have access to a therapist as well as psychiatric support BUT it's incredibly limited, we are talking once every 3 months IF lucky. Thank you America... Having an appointment with doctor is virtually impossible since it cost money they don't have, so the illnesses keep repeating, and no possibilities of a treatment, or even knowing the root cause, it is incredibly frustrating.

The odds are not really in their favour, but I want to believe in a kinder tomorrow for them, knowing that resources are limited, systemic issues won't change overnight, and when you're poor in the US with mental illnesses or disabilities, you're already lost in the system.

I am here today to ask what can be done for the cycle to not repeat, so they can enjoy a softer life, knowing everything I cited previously? Thank you so much ! Sorry for any grammar mistakes as I am not English.

Cetirizine ( DRILL ) makes me incredibly drowsy and internal shaking feeling

Hi, I have been trying to manage my " allergies " symptoms with my deviated nose with Drill, which works kinda wonderfuly for my nose. Althought, I am starting to see a pattern of important side effects I can't ignore.. I take Cetirizine maybe twice or three times a month max. I tried Allergex as well, same component but it doesnt have any effects on me at all? I can only do suckable tablet so my choice is limited. Does anyone also experience this on Cetirizine ? I wonder what could work for the nose issues... I tried salt spray too. But no luck

iPhone 17 sudden important battery drain

To preface this, I am still on ios 26.1, haven't done any updates, battery dropped from 100% to 96% within a few days, I got my iPhone 17 in December and have the same usage everyday. I am very predictable and use my phone for routine, recently, I noticed the battery draining super fast. More than usual. I usually charged my phone twice a day maximum. Now, I charge it at least 4 times..

Does anyone know what's happening? I don't have 5G btw, background refresh is OFF, location OFF when I don't need it, AOD obviously off, bluetooth always off, never charging while sleeping.

EBT card never came, unable to contact any numbers, GA

My LD partner had her first EBT card sent almost 2 weeks from now, nothing in the mail. She tried to contact the 877 numbers and " local " office but they redirect ( a robot ) to the previous number. She doesn't have an ID number or caseworker , but her benefits are active. What can she do or where to contact a human, not a robot who hang up? Thank you!

The differences between chosen and imposed loneliness

there’s a huge difference between being alone because you want to be and being alone because you have no other choices and i'm gonna try my best to explain

people say all the time “I’m so scared to go to a restaurant alone” or “I could never travel alone” without realizing that some of us literally DONT have anyone to go with in the first place...

we don’t choose to eat alone, walk alone, go to the mall alone or travel alone ( if we are fortunate enough to do so ), there simply isn’t anyone to invite, no friends or family to call

and tbh, i’m tired of people treating being alone like some horrible chore because leaning to being able to enjoy your own company is so important. Wanting people is completely normal, but if you can’t be by yourself, that’s something worth questioning. This is coming from someone who is living totally recluse who haven't had a single social contact with someone my age in YEARS

some people aren’t alone because they’re independent, they are alone / lonely because life left them no alternative. But most people aren't able to understand that since they aren't living it

Nervous to fly behind the wings on a A350 for the first time

Hello everyone, I usually fly with Delta on a A330-300 over the wings because of my motion sickness fear related to emetophobia and bad experiences in the past. I always pay for seats to soothe my anxiety, but this time for the season I am gonna fly, Delta switched to the A350 and in economy ... the available seats are all behind the wings .. by a lot. And it terrifies me.

I don't have a choice because the other flights with the A330-300 are in the morning and I have a few trains to take. So the afternoon flight is the only available, but they are all with the A350.

For anyone who flew on this bird, behind the wings ( After row 39 ), can you tell me about your experience? I will take anti nausea medicine to knock me out, but still, the anxiety is huge for me right now. Thank you so much! It's for a 9 / 10 hours flight

Only having access to LTE on iPhone 13

My girlfriend uses Straight Talk with an iPhone 13. Her area is fully covered by 4G and 5G+ according to online maps and their website. However, she only gets 2 LTE bars, which is abnormal. Her 5G is enabled, but the phone shows only LTE. What can we do? She’s contacted support but has had no luck. Thank you.

Random major lags issues on PC

I've been noticing more and more lag and input delay when playing with my wired controller on PC.. It's getting frustrating because I keep missing out on challenges since my inputs don’t register sometimes. It also tends to lag when I’m playing co-op with other skaters, but mostly it happens when I’m on my own

It’s totally random and doesn’t matter what graphics setting I’m using—low, performance, balanced etc.. i've tried everything, but nothing helps...

Anyone else dealing with this lag or input delay? It really makes the game feel choppy, even on a decent PC, thanks a lot! :)
