Thinking of seeing the 7pm showing at the Awater Cineplex. I love movies with Ewan McGregor and Anne Hathaway (this one has both). I might be scared of the aliens though 🙈

Edit: lots of people in r/cineplex are giving away codes that expire tonight for a small popcorn. Just an FYI.

I have a few plants that I am not sure how to help them. They have been growing very rapidly this summer. One is a snake plant, another is a pothos, and lastly is an ivy (I wanted a glacier ivy but im not quite sure what this one is). I have others, but these are the ones that the roots are poking out from the bottom and every day they get longer. How do I handle it?

Growing up, I never really thought of my mom as a hoarder. We grew up poor, and although our place was full of boxes and stuff I always figured these things would come in handy when we needed.
That never happened.
Lots of stuff happened, and she ended up being homeless for 10 years. I was doing well enough on my own, making just above minimum wage, and encouraged her to come live with me. I was worried about her safety and health.
I recently learned that even though she was homeless, she was still hoarding. I thought she had already brought over all her stuff (which was a lot), but it turns out she was also storing multiple things in lockers. To the point where the owners of the lockers wanted to clean them out but couldn’t even remove anything because it was so full.
I’ve depressed, and I finally took a shower today.
I was putting lotion on, and it hit me that I might be a hoarder too. I knew that for documents and receipts I probably was, but it never occurred to me that I do it for soaps, lotions, and various hygienic items too. It takes me a long time to get through them due to my depression (it’s been on an off for years). And now every room I enter I see all the items I bought “just in case” or “as a backup” and so much food in the pantry that I bought with the same logic.
So, on top of my mom’s stuff at home, there’s also my stuff. Her stuff includes rotting plants, literal garbage bags that she won’t let me throw out, and a bunch of stuff rotting in the fridge/freezer that she hasn’t touched in years. As you can imagine, our place stinks and is full of flies, ants, and various insects. I am not only an enabler, but also part of the problem. How do I overcome this? I don’t want to end up the way she did. Every time I try to declutter I feel like I am making a bigger mess and end up discouraged.
TLDR: I don’t want to be a hoarder, but I am influenced by my mom. What do I do?

I am so tired.
I promised my therapist that I would take a shower right after our session, but instead I watched a show, ate cake, and now I’m just scrolling in bed. I know that logically I should take one, but also I just feel so tired, my eyes hurt, and I don’t want to move from the comfort of my blanket. What do I do to convince myself to get up and take care of my hygiene?

Hello,

I was wondering what active in means?

Thank you!

I was having a lot of side effects and idk if it’s because my dose was recently increased or I took a bunch of vitamins . I am a little paranoid about getting all my nutrients because I have always had a hard time preparing fresh foods. I was taking magnesium, iron, omega 3, calcium, vitamin D, psyllium fibre, and sometimes a multivitamin or vitamin C. I was feeling really confused and off balance for about a week, but once I stopped taking them all I felt better after a few days. Does anyone know which vitamins were causing this?

Some of my high school friends already know this about me, but I’ve mostly been closeted around my family. I bring it up here and there, but I don’t think they really know and I haven’t had a coming out. Honestly, I would rather just bring a girlfriend home and if there’s drama then deal with it at that time. I’ve only had boyfriends, and next year I’ll be 30. I feel like such a coward, and I don’t really know how to meet anyone new. The boyfriends I have had were really all by chance. I’ve always found women prettier and more attractive than men. But, both sides of my family are religious (although my mom is more open minded). Idky I am scared to put myself out there. I just want to live freely. But, on the other hand, some of my friends are having babies and I wonder what life would be like if I fell in love with a man and started a family. I know I can do that with a woman too, but I am scared we would get targeted and hurt. I wouldn’t want someone I love to be in pain because I showed them affection. There’s also usually a higher salary so overall maybe a better quality of life because we live in such an unequal society.
Should I try dating apps instead of relying on luck for finding someone? I’ve never really dated, just jumped straight into an exclusive relationship when someone has said they’re interested. I’m still a “lady virgin” and would like to explore my sexuality more, but idk what future we could have. I just want an honest, loving, relationship. Whether that is with a woman or man. Love is love, and I have had lots of crushes, but I guess I am just confused about what I want and how to get it.

I am currently on leave (since March) due to burnout/depression, and insomnia. I am medicated, and I was so hopeful that I was finally getting better because I can now get out of bed, regularly have breakfast, and open my curtains in the morning. Last week was the first time I felt good in a really long time. I fixed up some things around the house that were weighing on my mind, bought and assembled a nightstand, saw some friends on Friday. It’s still hard to take care of myself unless I have a “reason”, so I literally haven’t showered since Friday. And before then it was probably Monday. I noticed that I have been feeling more and more sad since Saturday and idky. Stayed in bed since then (except to make breakfast, use the bathroom, and open my curtains). I have my first call with a social worker tomorrow and I am really anxious about it. Idk what’s going to happen, idk what to talk about. I didn’t get the chance to bring it up to my therapist last time so idk how to handle this call. I am even feeling more and more anxious while writing this out. Feeling overwhelmed since I have to make supper (for me and my mom).
My therapist says my mom is taking advantage of me (I took her in 4 years ago because prior to that she was homeless for a decade and always refused my help). However, my therapist also made me realize that she’s a hoarder and not 100% mentally there. She hid a garbage bag from me because I was finally motivated to put some of her rotting food in it - literal black goo from being in the fridge for a year - and it spent 3 weeks outside of the fridge in the “hiding spot” until I threw it out). I hope the social worker will help me figure out how to handle this, but idek if we will have the time to talk about everything going on in my situation. Also some financial stressors, work worries, family drama, loneliness (the only ones who talk to me every day are my ex and my mom). Idk what to do and idk what’s wrong with me or why I am feeling like this now. So sad. There’s also more to it, my doctor thinks I might have add, ocd, anxiety, and/or a mood disorder. Last week I told my therapist that I think I might be bipolar (since I have been handling depression on my own on and off since I was really young, and maybe the times I think I’m “normal” are actually the times when I am manic). I’ve also been thinking that maybe I am autistic because of a lot of things + I recently learned that my entire circle of childhood friends are autistic, adhd, or both. Idk what I want my future to look like, I am 10 years past the time I thought I would be gone from this world. Not sure what “flair/category/tag” this post is.
Thank you to whoever reads this.

TLDR: Sad all of a sudden. Handling a lot, taking care of mom. Not sure what mental illnesses I have. Spiraling a little. Also, I think I may be a bit of a hoarder too.

I made a grocery order on Uber Eats a month ago and half the items were missing. That was okay, because the driver marked them as missing and I saw the subtotal had decreased as he was fulfilling the order. However, once I received the order, Uber made a price adjustment of around $30 + tax and fees. So, my payment doubled. I contacted them immediately and was told that I would get a refund. I followed up multiple times during that week (until the option for help with that order was no longer available). I reached out again and support says it is over 7 days so there is nothing they can do.
This image has my conversations with support for just this order. I have not used Uber/Uber Eats since early July.
What are my options?

Edit: idk if a class action is necessary, but I really don't know what to do in this situation.

Anyone else having the issue of Scotiabank charging overdraft fees even though it is against the law? How did you handle it? Even their website clearly marks it.
Context: Last year they had to make a mass reversal of fees due to this, and I recently noticed that they continued basically immediately after. So, last month I had all of these fees reversed, and now they charged me again -_-
Thanks!
