Biolife is now likely using AI for their backsplashes on the app, and now force routes everything to a call center and expects you to go in person to speak with anyone at your actual location, or hand over your potential medical issues or follow up with completely random and likely poorly paid call centers, where they likely do not get trained on anything outside of writing down a message. I think that's it boys, I'm done with BioLife and the continued enshittification.

I've got one of those tower bins, established mid-june. I'm getting some level of fungus gnats since the basement isn't perfectly bug-tight. Some of my isopods have fallen in but these are primarily for feeders so I'm not very bothered by it. I was just curious if anyone has gone out of their way to encourage local spiders to take up residence. I got 2 parson spiders chilling with me and the evil thoughts was like what if I gave them a room and food while taking advantage of them being there. I've been tempted to get some local jumpers to put in there. I know they don't particularly like predating on worms but I'm curious if anyone has tried it and had success. I'm on a single level right now (one below has cardboard innoculating, top one is empty) and I'm deciding if I'm off my rockers or not.

And please no set fire to them blah blah, spiders are highly beneficial buggy bois, and I reccomend these are the spiders in your house on YouTube for some sane facts and desensitization to spiders, they are weird and fascinating, and watching a grown man chase spiders with cheese wholly convinced my arachnophobic partner to leave spoods alone when he sees them.

I'm not sure if y'all will have answers but I'm TIRED grandpa

I'm 32. I have food stamps and Medicaid... For now. I'm actively working through trying to get SSI/SSDI however it pans out. I have a sleep disorder that makes me so unreliable I am likely to miss an appointment even if I was given the optimal time, it is still a tossup if I'll be awake. Yes, I've seen 2 sleep specialists. Yes, I'm going to be seeing a THIRD sleep specialist, a neurologist, Rheumatology AND an allergist. I take meds for my anxiety and depression, and have meds for ADHD tho I take them sparingly because while they work, I get side effects and it's unpleasant. Id smack a photo of my sleep schedule but I can't here, a snap of my sleep schedule is definitely in my previous posts. It's a mess. I don't wake up to alarms either. I've slept outdoors in a LITERAL tornado siren going off. Nobody has a clue why I'm like this and nothing suggested or prescribed has worked, and generally actually makes the turmoil worse.

I'm terrified right now with the changes happening that I'm going to lose access to the meds that have kept me from being s*icidal for years. I have no income because no job will work with it, even "food delivery drivers" don't work because half the time I'm awake when all food options are closed (not to mention the plethora of other issues with them). If I don't have medicaid and food stamps, I both starve AND lose access to critical medical support, and I WILL spiral. Then I'm in a mental health hospital with no insurance. I can't get the extra documentation needed so I lack the supporting information to get on SSI/SSDI.

I feel like I should be a "duh obviously" but already so many people are being kicked that I feel fall in the same camp. I half wish that they would just have the government "make a job" so I can prove to them definitively that I cannot function in society in a way that I can support myself. I'm rather at a loss right now and could really use advice and support

It's been 24h since I called another lawyer and proceeded to sob my lungs out because the lady at intake basically scoffed hearing what the other company did, because there was quote "no way you would have been approved" and she was "shocked they didn't advise me to see more doctors".

​

I've got a sleep disorder that basically renders the time I'm awake day to day being completely random, I literally can't predict my schedule more than 24h out *if I'm lucky*. There's no real diagnosis, after seeing my PCP, then one sleep specialist, and then another sleep specialist that my sleep specialist reccomend. Both of them said I've been through basically every treatment they have for general sleep disorders and my sleep study came back unremarkable. When I sleep, I sleep well, the issue is that I don't know *when* I'm going to sleep. I don't know when I'm waking up. Alarms don't wake me, and my partner literally starts trying to wake me up HOURS in advance of appointments (the only time I ask for help with the sleep disorder) because I am very hard to wake up once I'm asleep.

​

I've been told to get into more specialists (not that I'm sure that will help anything) and was basically told I need to regularly be "treated" to even remotely have a chance, despite there not really being treatments available. The first group I was with literally never advised me to continue seeking treatment, not that there really is a solution and sleep, let alone sleep disorders are not well studied.

​

Then the lady on the phone, to a sobbing me told me that I'm "too young to live like this" as if I have any choice on the matter.

​

I've begrudgingly set up another appointment for more referrals to see more doctors to probably continuously told there's no solution, or get placed on a bunch of meds that make me feel like garbage, and don't help.

​

At this point I'm wondering if there's any way to keep the original application date going so when I'm through a bunch more doctors who tell me there's nothing they can do, and struggling to even be able to get to the appointments, I can hopefully have this backdated to the original date because nothing is going to help. I halfway want to force the issue to a judge anyway, the expectation of continuing to throw myself at doctors to get nothing out of it boggles my mind.
