Hello.

I know people usually sleep with their car off but i’d rather keep it on as it’s quite hot where I live. I will sleep from 3 am- 8 am, but will have it on from now (10 pm).

Will this drain my battery even if i close the outside light?

Thanks.

edit:

For everyone saying to get an electric car…..:

Ugly electric cars aren’t sustainable where I live. We don’t have charging stations, only gas stations. We also have constant power outages, so that will be even worse. All around would be a horrible idea to own one here.

For those arguing:

Damn didn’t think this would bring up such an argument. Literally every single person is arguing with one another. Let’s all chill out guys. We’ll all die one day or another, save the arguing for later.

Update on my situation:

I will just sit in my car for another hr or 2 and then hopefully my family will be asleep so i’ll go back home. I just don’t want to see them. I also don’t want to damage my car and can’t sleep at anyone’s house.

What my car is and if it’s maintained:

I left it in a comment but it seems to have been lost with all the arguments. It’s a mazda cx5 2015. I previous owner that supposedly maintained the car well. I’ve had the car since november and got the oil changed then, and haven’t had to change it until now. I was due feb but i keep getting it checked and my levels are good. I don’t drive much. Well I do, just not crazy miles and for hours on hours. Like just very short trips and car rot time. The only thing i’ve had to fix for my car was just the spark plug and the cylinder. I do have an issue with my gas jumping up and down but only by 5-15 so the mechanic said not to worry i guess.

Lastly, I’m quite obviously a girl. My avatar is literally bright neon pink, bunny outfit and all, and my bio literally has some corny shit like princess or something.

From age 6 I have experienced constant trauma. The worst years being 6-13. The years after were bad but not as bad. Those years included SA, all forms of abuse, and just constant repetitive trauma. I’m 100% sure i have CPTSD. I memory blocked so many parts of my early childhood. Some parts came back when I was 12.

Anytime anything bad happens, or i get hurt/ sad from something/someone, my memory basically erases it. Sometimes it even erases people. I can remember basic details like their name, i talked to them, but nothing more. I can remember their good parts but my mind completely erased all the bad. This has been bad over the years as I’ve gone back and spoken to these people again not remembering what they did at all.

My memory with random things and numbers is extremely good. I will remember random things and numbers to no ends. Though, I can’t remember anything in the moment, what I did this day or that day, and things told to me.

At work, when I’m told something, I forget. When instructions are told, I need them to be told in 3 different ways and then for me to explain it in my own terms for me to grasp what is asked of me.

I’m constantly in flight or fight. I feel like i’m living in autopilot. I don’t know what i’m doing, where i’m at, or anything. I think i must dissociate most my tasks.

What especially has me worried is yesterday, I was at work for 6 hours and then took my break. When I got into my car I was genuinely confused how I was there and the fact I was at work?

At times I forget simple words, my mind takes long to process things, and I’m just not as smart as I used to be (this is coming from someone who’s always excelled in school and other things i’m talking always 4.0 always grasped things easily).

As I age my memory gets worse and worse. Someone can tell me something in the moment and I’ll immediately forget. When I lose something I have to correlate it to something else just to remember where I possibly placed it.

People have told me the same thing over and over and I just don’t remember.

My memory is just really bad and good at the same time.

I feel like I have constant brain fog, dissociation, like i’m basically just a zombie. I don’t feel real.

I have no family history of dementia or alzheimer’s. My dad has OCD and a couple other mental disorders.

Growing up I always had extreme paranoia over everything. At times I’ve hallucinated and heard auditory hallucinations. I’m also 100% sure I have BPD, and i’m not saying that now as it’s trending it. I’ve been researching BPD since I was 16. I fit all 9 to the extreme.

I seriously think my brain is damaged. I have a neurologist but I don’t know how exactly to bring this up so that I can get tests done. I was seeing my neurologist for my numb legs (we later figured out it wasn’t a nerve issue but due to my adenomyosis), and my back pain (i injured my back a few times and my spine is mildly degenerating which doctors said is fine for my age).

I just don’t know what to do.

Hey.

I have super bad anxiety, literally since I’ve been a kid, and have been previously hospitalized due to it.

My cat has emergency surgery tomorrow for closed pyometra, which is even worse than open pyometra, and i’m just so worried. It’s like a ticking time bomb. With closed you only have 48-72 hrs to do the surgery or the cat will die. She started having symptoms Sunday, and we’re getting to that mark. Her surgery is for 8:30 am, and I can’t wait.

I just want this to all be over with and her to be okay again.

I had to make an emergency credit card to cover the surgery, because pyometra is a very expensive surgery.

I don’t know what to do. I don’t think i’ll be able to sleep tonight. I can only sleep at 5-6 am anyways, and when i’m anxious like this i can’t sleep period.

She’s my entire life. She’s such an anchor for me and I don’t know what i’ll do if I lose her.

Has anyone had to deal with this with their cat??

btw The vets weren’t able to do the surgery yesterday due to them about to close and the price of the surgery would’ve skyrocketed because it would be after hours.

I hope she will make it to her appointment. There’s only 6 hours left. I hope she survives and nothing goes bad. God i hate this.

Hello. I’m going to provide images of everything that occurred today in the comments so please view them. I don’t want to put them in the post because one of my coworkers is on reddit. He’s 18 but I don’t want to take the risk of him recognizing the background.

1st mainly about orange

https://www.reddit.com/r/twentyagers/s/C3jB4U2joH

2nd post mainly about yellow (pee)

https://www.reddit.com/r/twentyagers/s/dGwwb8mR3w

I have color coded everyone in the images. Pink is my boss, blue is the main shift lead, orange is the second shift lead, the rest are just annoying coworkers. I’m fine with white and purple.

I have BPD and I have contained myself quite well. Years ago, I would’ve reacted very badly to what they said and cursed them the hell out. I chose to barely engage and remain mainly quiet to not have the blame switched onto me. I am not a confrontational person. I am a very sensitive person, though I don’t show it. I don’t show anything really. I stay a stone wall infront of them. I used to get bullied growing up psychically and verbally and this is honestly really triggering. It just makes me really sad.

They don’t like me because as I’ve stated in previous posts, I told them how every customer isn’t rude as they stated, I like to work when it’s busy because the time passes faster (I DONT LIKE THE PHYSICAL LABOR ASPECT), and because I stay quiet at work and uk actually work..

They don’t like that I just go to work and work. They punish me for this. They’ve been punishing me since I got there. Whenever I work, they all go to the back and do absolutely nothing. They make me do all the work. Literally everything. They act nice to me infront of the owner. Whenever I ask something I get absolutely ignored. I have back problems, so I can’t carry heavy things or over exert myself. In my old job, I used to ask the guys to help me when I couldn’t carry heavy things or do something that would pain me, and they did it no complaints. When I ask here, which I rarely do because they all hate me, they make a big deal of it and start to say oh why don’t you just do it yourself. I’m constantly in pain because I can’t receive help due to them ridiculing me anytime I ask.

The other day, my back was hurting extremely bad. They often take 15 min breaks now and later, or 30+ breaks. We are only allowed 1 15 minute break. That day I asked if I could take a 15 now and a 15 later because my back was hurting a lot, and they started to say that they never do that even though they did the other day. Whenever any of them go on break it’s for 30-1hr. They treated me like shit that day and forced me to do all the work while they did absolutely nothing, and we were busy this day. I asked the owner if I could leave early due to my back pain and he gave me permission to. As I grab my things, yellow asks me if I’m going on break, I say no I’m leaving and I leave.

My back and hands has not stopped hurting for an entire week, since she made me do my closing duties and hers on tuesday. I can’t clean like that because it always hurts my back.

I’m honestly at a loss and would really appreciate some help. I can’t quit because I need the money, and I can’t find another job. The boss is also really nice, which they take advantage of, and after having so many shitty bosses, I don’t want to lose out on a good boss.

I don’t know if this was the right move but I sent him the entire conversation to let him be aware of how they are treating me and he said we will talk about it tomorrow.

I called my friend tonight from my old job to come work with me. I really need a friend and work, and this may sound foolish, but she would also be there to protect me from them bullying me. I can’t believe I’m even saying this. I can’t believe freaking teens are bullying me.

Please help. Thank you if you read everything.

Hello.

My cat still isn’t spayed. Yes I know horrible owner. I can’t afford it. I tried to go to places that have a program where they only charge $15, but they won’t do the surgery out of fear. My cat has reactions to vaccines where she will vomit all day long. Petsmart always gives her ibuprofen and something else. They then have to monitor her all day each time she gets vaccines. The vet I went to is scared because they don’t know how she will react to the anesthesia. Pet smart wants to charge me up to $400 to get her spayed, even though we have the insurance plan. We are also behind 3 months on our insurance plan (the $400 quote was before this). I can’t find a pet hospital that is with the affordable program.

After her last heat cycle, which ended about 3 days ago, she has stopped eating, meows like we annoyed her at random times without us even touching her, isn’t drinking either, and sleeps all day. She isn’t exhibiting the facial grimacing (if I remember the name correctly).

Is this from not being spayed? She also kept eating my others cat vomit prior to this. That cat had FIP(years ago) but is now cured. I’m wondering if maybe she has FIP now too? They’re not from the same litter and he’s older than her by a few years.

She’s turning 5 this year. She’s 7.9 pounds. This is her normal weight she never grew up to be a big cat, she’s the size of a 6 month old- 1 year old cat. She’s a black cat, which in technical terms is a tabby cat. I’m in louisiana.

Hey!

I feel like in our teen years it was “more acceptable” to be mentally ill, and people look at you all skewed when they know you’re still mentally ill as an adult.

How do you deal with mental illnesses? Especially those like personality disorders, more in particular cluster b disorders.

Do you take medication? Does it work? Do you go to therapy? Does that help?

What is life for you now that you’re in your 20s and still going through it?

Let’s talk about how we didn’t think we’d make it past 18, and that led to us not knowing how the hell to deal with life afterwards.

I personally feel like I’ve been mentally ill my entire life. Just constant and constant repetitive trauma from age 5 and it just never stops. My earliest memories are of paranoia. Anytime I’d be in a car, I’d think something is going to crash into us and kill us. Anytime I lied in bed, I’d think some huge rock will fall on me and kill me. Anytime I was in the car with my dad, I used to always think he’d just grab his gun and shoot me. I always found it interesting. My dad was emotionally and verbally abusive, and very aggressive, but he only ever hit me once. I just always felt impending doom no matter what. Got an ED at 8 from my dad. Used to write in my Diary of the Wimpy kid books how I wanted so badly to die. My mom blamed me for my dad leaving and psychically and verbally abused me my whole childhood. My grandpa raped me for 7 months when I was 6. Like when does it end fr. I was psychically and verbally bullied at school until like 6th grade. I can’t hold friendships for the life of me.

I honestly feel like I’ll never be mentally sane. I never was. Sometimes I think about how people say they wish they can be a kid again and oh I miss my childhood. Sometimes I try my hardest to relate, but I just can’t. There’s absolutely nothing I want to go back to. Hell I can barely remember anything anyways. I feel like soon I’ll develop dementia or something, God forbid, my memory just keeps getting worse day by day.

I’m honestly just scared.

I hate when people say it gets better, because that just isn’t true for everyone.

Hey! I’m 23F.

I’ve only been working for cold stone for 3 days now and my hands are absolutely killing me. What can I do to avoid this?
