Hi everyone! I'm wanting to dye and cut my hair but I have an extremely judgemental family and I'm not sure what to do. I cut my hair for the first time in my life in 2021 when I was 21 I cut it medium length and used a red hair dye that goes over brown hair after that I continued doing things to my hair I've had bright red hair, bleached blonde, pixie cut, and bobs. My mom thinks women can only have long natural hair she often makes fun of my sister and calls her white trash for having dyed hair and when my hair was dyed or cut she'd constantly say things like I don't know why anyone would be stupid enough to cut their hair or I wish you still looked pretty. I was happiest when I had red hair I used to have more confidence and take photos of myself and wear cute outfits but now I'm afraid to cut or dye my hair again because I don't want to upset anyone and I also think everyone is judging me constantly like every time I would talk to my mom when my hair was dyed I thought she's looking at me thinking I look stupid I also think I'm very ugly and I've thought it more lately. I don't wear cute outfits or cute hairstyles or take photots anymore and every time I see a mirror I hate my hair and everything about me. I'd love to dye and cut my hair and feel confident again and wear cute clothes but should I just not do it so my family doesn't pick on me?

I don't know what to do I can't work because of my mental health I've been abused my whole life and can't function normally but I can't move out of the abusive household without a job and I can't afford help for my problems

I need help I have an appointment tomorrow to have my 13 year old pug Pugsley euthanized I originally had it scheduled for June 3rd but panicked and cancelled it thinking I was doing the wrong thing. My dog is 13 but I thought he'd pass away shortly after I got him when he was only 1 1/2 due to him having seizures. He's blind, he has giant masses on his chin, missing almost all his teeth, uses the bathroom in the house/in his bed/in my bed often, and his legs keep giving out I keep finding him stuck in a squatting position he needs my help to get out of also when he poops his back legs give out and he often falls into his poop. He's been my best friend and I consider him my child. I for some reason never thought I'd have to set a date for his euthanasia I assumed he would pass away in his sleep or something but after doing some research I've heard dogs rarely pass away in their sleep and the longer I wait he could suffer more but I'm panicking right now thinking I'm making the wrong decision I just keep thinking what if I do the wrong thing? I've never had to do this before and I feel like I'm killing my best friend.

Hi everyone I have extreme anxiety of getting pregnant despite that I've still had unprotected sex because I've felt pressured by my partner. I've taken plan b quite a few times and I started birth control December-january but stopped taking it because my legs started cramping and I feared I had blood clots. since I've stopped taking the birth control we have used condoms. I have been taking pregnancy tests 1-2 times a month since December and they have all been negative but I convince myself there's a faint line or that I need another test. When I got off the bc due to leg pain in January I started noticing leg pain more frequently and it soon became hard to sleep because I have restless legs and my stomach has been throbbing. There was a week in February where I couldn't get out of bed at all. So from February until today I've been in pain my stomach hurts everyday it feels crampy and bloated and my legs always feel like I've walked at a theme park all day. My breasts hurt and My face has also became puffy. My weight hasn't changed. Between all of this I started on depression and anxiety medication which could be some of the symptoms I'm feeling now like nausea but I have definitely been in pain since February and I can't even wear jeans because it hurts my stomach so bad. My period was usually 6 days long now it's more like 5 but it comes at the same time every month and it's a full period not just spotting. I am convinced I have endometriosis or ibs or something but I live in constant fear everyday that a test was positive and I couldn't tell it keeps me up at night it's all I really think about. What are the chances that it's a medical condition and not pregnancy? I literally can't do anything anymore because I live in constant fear. I'm also hoping that the symptoms I'm feeling are just from stress because I'm living in an abusive household.

Hi everyone I currently have an iphone 16 plus that I don't enjoy using my last phone was a Samsung z flip 4 before that I had only had iphones but the one Samsung was enough to make me only want Samsung. When it came time for a new phone I felt pressured by family to get an iphone because Samsung is "junk" to them I know I shouldn't have listened to them but I felt pressured on top of that I use TMobile and I was deciding between the Samsung 25 or iphone 16 plus and I went for the 16 plus because it's bigger (not a good enough reason) I feel as though this phone makes me not want to use it it feels like everything is restricted or harder to use I really enjoyed my z flip 4 and wish I never went with iphone but my carrier is letting me do an upgrade and I can get an Samsung s26, s26 plus, or z flip 7 so any advice on if I should just stick it out one more year with the iphone or switch now is appreciated! Also which phone would be best? The s26 has no down payment and the other two are $200 down payment. I would get an ultra if I could but it's $500 down😵‍💫

Hi everyone I have an iphone 16 plus and I hate using it I had a Samsung z flip 4 before and loved it but I got pressured into an iphone by people around me I tried to think a phone is a phone no matter what and there isn't actually a big difference but I was wrong I feel like everything is 1000 times harder to do on this phone the touchscreen is glitchy, the phone doesn't go black when I'm on the phone so sometimes it presses buttons, I hate that you can't customize it as much and it's just not as fun to use! I am able to get an upgrade through my phone carrier and I am considering an s26, s26 plus, or the z flip 7 I'm not sure if I'm just complaining and should keep the iphone or if the Samsung would be a good upgrade.
