Hello so I've tried journaling before very occasionally but I haven't found it helping me as much as I think it has the potential to. I write down my thoughts and my feelings and positive things whenever I feel like it's getting too much and it helps only for a little bit till I start thinking about those things again. Another thing that also happens is that whenever I write things down to get thoughts off my head writing just makes me think about them more? I really want jounraling to help me out and i know it can I just don't know how to do it correctly. I do meditate as well, so I just want to do this to seal the deal and finally get out of my head completely. So to the beautiful people here, let me know if there's anything I could do or try :]

I'm 18F and i have a twin brother and our parents have been separated since 2024 after falling out in the beginning of 2023. I have lost everything since then. My father is a class 1 gazetted government officer and my mother is a housewife with 3 degrees because my father didn't let her work. We live with our mother and our father has not been paying for us at all. We begged him, tried to tell him that we're genuinely struggling and barely make it past each meal and each little expense but he's always condescending about it, trying to blame everything on us for choosing our mother. My mother has since been burning through her dead mother's savings just to be able to pay for us. And she's ran out.

He's legally obliged to pay for us right? So we sued him for maintenance under 125crpc in May 2025 and guess what he just paid the lawyer off? He made the lawyer steal our money and make us come to court on the wrong dates and marked our absence on every single date while he's marked present even though he lives 5 hours away and never comes. He lies all the time, about everything and says that he's paying for us and no proof that we have (which is a LOT btw like it's actually ridiculous) is helping us.

After getting absolutely fucked over by this woman we decide to go to a new lawyer with whatever money we had left after wasting an entire year and now he's started paying the court people off???? It's just dates after dates after dates after dates and the lawyers are just like "aw well we're trying heh" when they're clearly not?? I mean I just came back from yet another date and they were supposed to argue or smth idk and this fuckass lawyer bro he disappeared just as the judge called my mother's name and my father's lawyer started making all sorts of bullshit claims and there was no one to object or defend our side and my mother tried to convene yes but of course the court would listen to the lawyer and he wasn't there?? Then my mum saw the lawyer paying the court guy to get a new date???? this is the 3rd fucking time we were supposed to argue bro

Now i wouldn't be on the edge to this extent if I didn't have much going on in my life. My brother and I both have college this year and we aren't able to pay for shit. We got into some good colleges but couldn't book our seats because we didn't have enough money and now the offers keep coming and the deadlines keep passing and we have absolutely nothing. Even if we're able to pay for the tuition somehow how are we gonna buy laptops? Basic necessities? Heck, food? We even texted our father with an application letter and asked him to pay for it and he just never replied. I don't pick his calls up because all he does is call my mother crazy and call us brainwashed and tries to persuade is to come to him. He's sabotaging us so hard rn and we have absolutely nothing to do. The next date is a month later and by then most deadlines will be past. We don't want to give up our future just because this monster of a man thinks it's okay to just act like he doesn't have children.

I have so much more to say about this man and what he's done but I fear no one might be interested so if anyone is please let me know. He's just a fucked up man.

My question is that what should I do now? My mum has 0 income so we can't apply for normal loans. I've been looking into the vidyalaxmi scheme so might try that one out but that still won't cover every cost. And being stuck in debt sounds scary to me. The court case clearly is gonna take centuries if at all and i only have till the next fortnight. I have no relatives who could help without expecting grand favors in return. Please let me know what I can do, any range of suggestions are appreciated and welcomed. I feel so gutted and tired.

I've tried all of the pirate websites but everywhere the subs are all fucked i don't wanna watch dubbed since I'm not used to it do y'all have a place where I could watch it without the subtitles just being all over the place like that?

Forgiveness if I sound stupid but I JUST started learning python and I'm using "Think Python" by Allen B. Downey to kind of familiarize myself with the language. But the thing is that python has different versions apparently? The book says doing print 'hello world' gives you the output of printing a string but writing print with parentheses is what actually works? I mean the book was published in 2012 so I'm sure the language has evolved in the meanwhile but I just wanted to know if I should still read this book and whether I'm going to encounter more of such differences as I read more? Does anyone have a better book suggestion that I could find online? I found this one off of mit opencourseware. I like it for the rest part, it's easy to understand. Please lete know if there are other books or free courses I could refer to which are updated or if I can just get over this difference somehow. Have a great day!

I've seen this everywhere, the act of observing your thoughts and detaching yourself from them. Sounds like a dream to me, personally. My mind just keeps coming up with things that probably won't ever happen but still have the gravity to make my heart sink a million feet. So, i tell myself that I'm not my thoughts and the bad things that I keep thinking of are not me and not my reality and I guess my mind understands, but my body doesn't. Happens during night or late evening mostly, I start having heart palpitations and like a super fast heartbeat due the anxiety these thoughts cause me and telling myself I'm not my thoughts and trying to imagine my thoughts as clouds and popping them doesn't help my heart calm down. It has been giving me sleepless nights now, and I'm also barely able to convince my mind of this fact, so i guess I'm failing in its entirety. What can I do about this? I mean I'm young I'm only 18 I can't live my life this I need my sleep and I need to get rid of this anixety and feel great about every aspect of my life without having literal dread surround me behind my eyes. This doesn't happen everyday, only some days, but I've not been able to figure out why. Just a sudden school of bad thoughts attacking my mind like piranas. Please. I want atleast someone, anyone to tell me I'll be okay and that I can fix this.

It all sucks so much bro, this is the only entrance exam I had left which could've gotten me into an atleast moderately respectful university. But nahi, light ko bhi abhi jaana hai. My city has been facing these crazy storms the past few days and now my house has no electricity at all.There is a city wide blackout. And all I've got is this one shitty old ass desktop, that I obviously can't operate with a discharged inverter. I really liked the srm modinagar branch, if I wait for the 3rd phase im like 99% sure I won't get into cse. Idk what to do. I called all the cyber cafes around me and they only seem to either not to be open so early in the morning or have only one computer that too a windows 7 and literally nobody rents laptops here. I'm cooked. What now, am I gonna have to call the college and beg them to let me in through management and pay them over 20L?

My brother (18) finished school last year. He's been writing college entrance exams since then and he has this thing where whenever he sits down to write computer based tests, his gut suddenly gets "tight" and he can't move or breathe and he feels really nauseous but he has emetophobia so he physically can't even imagine throwing up to relieve himself. This ends as soon as the exam gets over, and it makes it really really hard for him to focus on the exam. We went to neurologist for another reason, but decided to mention this to him as well and he prescribed placida, then tranxiety but none really worked. Ashwagandha is the only thing that helps, but since he has another med to take now, ashwagandha kind of affects the effect of the med so he can't take it atleast it's not known whether it's safe. Are there any other medications which have the same effect as ashwagandha but don't amplify the side effects of another medicine working on the nervous system? Any and every suggestions are very much appreciated.

I had previously posted to ask about how to take care of my brother who recently had two seizures in one night after having one the year prior, and I was faced with a lot of supportive and helpful people so I figured I'd ask a question again. This is admittedly a peculiar one.

So for some backstory, my twin brother and I just turned 18 and last year when we were writing our finals for senior year, my brother had a seizure out of nowhere and the doctor gave us meds for a few days and said he's okay so we thought he was. That was until next year (this one), during our entrance exam season, he had yet another seizure and when we took him to the hospital they just asked us to let him sleep and rest but not even like an hour or two later, he had another one so we had to begin tests and long term meds. He takes levetiracetam now, 500 mg a day.

Now to the main thing, he has had this thing where during exams or in very closed environments, he starts feeling very weird. At first it began with nausea, so he started carrying those dissolvable anti nausea tablets with him everywhere. Then it turned into this thing he finds kind of hard to explain. Let me try to summarize how he describes it: " it feels like there are knots in my gut and everything gets so tight and it gets hard to breathe and swallow and it feels like someone has locked me in a 2 inch corset and changing or shifting postions does not help at all. I can't focus on my questions and taking deep breaths doesn't help too." He also has severe emetophobia which I believe is the root cause.

We mentioned this to his neurologist so he prescribed anxiety medications to him, the one he last took is tranxiety. Didn't work. The only thing that has helped him over the years is taking ashwagandha. He would take a pill every alternate day and he stopped feeling this way during exams while taking it. Since he has begun antiepileptic meds now, google says taking ashwagandha can affect the seizure threshold and cause severe side effects. We asked the neurologist, and he didn't know much about it so idk where to ask for help except here. I hope and pray atleast one of you know how to help him out, it's genuinely such a terrible experience and we don't know how to resolve it. Can ashwagandha be taken with levetiracetam 500 mg or are there any other alternatives which work almost the same way? And does yoga and meditation help out even a little bit? I have been insisting that he does yoga atleast for a few minutes a day because I believe it'll help, bit he says it won't without even actually trying it. I'd appreciate any and every questions and suggestions.
