Trying to make this as short as possible. Our mom passed a couple years ago and they were on the whole “we’re all we have ” high. Which ended quickly. My siblings always told me they couldn’t have a relationship with me because of my dad. Honestly RIP to both of my parents but they were both shitty people. I loved them regardless though. Anywho

My siblings only spoke to me when money was involved . Anything that they could both benefit from. They would hang out wouldn’t invite me. Or when those two wouldn’t speak to eachother both would run to me . Weird shit. If they’re okay , neither of them would talk to me. Yet asking for money and wanting me to help them get vehicles etc. I have always tried my best to show them both that I cared energy was never returned. Not to mention our uncle assaulted me and those two treated me as if it was my fault!

I was a doormat for years and now that I’m older I’ve decided I do not want to deal with either of them. I really do miss the kids though. My last straw was them being completely inconsiderate of my dad passing away and also one made a comment saying “you knew this was going to happen you should’ve been prepared ”. Completely insensitive. I also wasn’t invited to any of the kids graduations . My sister act as if she forgot to tell me the dates and then asked me why didn’t I come….

My brother is an entitled guy. Treats everyone like shit. Always in drama , trying to fight everyone. A bunch of crazy shit. A woman abuser (literally ). Completely fucked me over numerous of times. Even tried to fight me before .

Not to mention , my brother used my information to get a car from a sales person that has helped our family get cars for years. She suggested he used my name so that he could get the vehicle and I said no . (I stopped dealing with this woman after suspecting she was doing some weird things just to get sales ) . Yet he still somehow got the car using my INFORMATION. Left hella debt in my name from a car that he decided he just didn’t want to pay for. I reported this lady she was fired . I am still fighting this shit years later. Trying to get that crap off of my credit . The only reason I didn’t put dude in jail was because of my nephew.

I have close friends and I have their families , but sometimes I’m still a bit sad. I miss my nieces and nephews. I honestly feel like I did what was right for my mental health though. After realizing .. do I really even want a relationship with people as such. I honestly just miss the kids though. That’s all. AITAH?

Serious question here. Hi everyone I was diagnosed a couple months ago. Finally seeing a endo in August. I suffer from severe depression and anxiety. I was wondering for those who deal with the same thing.

Did you find PCOS to make things tougher?
I'm not sure if it is just in my mind or what, but I feel as if 10 people are fighting me and I cannot win. It was already hard enough dealing with depression and everything. Just to find out I have PCOS also. I feel as if my depression has gotten way worse. Plus I am already dealing with other things.

I've made a few post and deletes here after having some trolls tell me some mean things but I will not be deleting this post. Also .. I literally cannot believe my body is the way it is now. Losing weight is so hard GLP1s are so freaking expensive . I also have a sleep study test that I have to take . How often is insurance actually even approving GLP1s.
Sending love to everyone here . Some days are def way harder than others.

Hey everyone new borrower here . I’ve been going through a difficult few months financially, which I was offered a new job with better pay and am just waiting for my background check to come back so I can start working. I’ve had to use all of my savings to cover cremation expenses a couple months ago , and I’ve been doing my best. I get paid from my current job this Friday and will be repaying $65 at that time. Right now, I’m about $40 short for an oil change and was planning to use the remaining $10 for gas. I normally go to Take 5, where my oil changes run around $100. (I’ve heard take 5 is super high and Walmart is recommended how true is this for anyone that knows ) ( the oil change is about 3,000 miles over how bad is this) I do not know how to change oil . My dad used to handle the oil changes on my car which is his old car and I believe they’ve continued using the same type of oil he always requested.

Edit: Are we required to give our phone numbers to people? Someone said that they’re wanting to help but need my
Phone number but their account seems super new .

I have a close friend who I’ve known for years. After my job lost its contract and I had to cover the remaining cremation expenses for my parent who passed away, I accepted her offer to move in with her. She has two children and often tells me she’s unhappy with some of the choices she’s made in life. (Mainly having kids ) Which I always try to uplift her if possible.

Over the years, I’ve always tried to help her whenever I could. There were times when I paid for hotel rooms for her when she needed a place to stay, and there were also occasions when she stayed in my home when she needed somewhere safe and comfortable. I’ve never minded helping because that’s what friends do, but I feel like some of that support is often overlooked.

We’re both adults, but we have very different lifestyles. She often sleeps until 1 or 2 PM, while I’m usually up attending school and working. I contribute financially to the household and also provide all of the transportation. Even after long workdays, I still end up driving her around . I suffer from severe depression anxiety and a few other things. I am concerned that this actually isn’t helping my mental health. I am thinking about living in my car .

Lately, I’ve noticed some things that concern me. Her children and also her frequently leave my car messy, which means I’m constantly cleaning it. At the same time, I’ve been dealing with expensive car repairs and have already spent over $1,000 trying to get my vehicle back in shape. Whenever I mention moving out once I’m financially able, she seems upset, gives me dirty looks, or changes the subject. Not to mention I also clean . I am a super quiet person she always makes comments about how quiet I am in the other room. I do not cause any sort of disturbance or anythinnng. Literally.

There have also been times when she sleeps in while her children are hungry, leaving me to prepare meals for them. I don’t mind helping, but it is upsetting to see her being mean to them and they’re literally just wanting food …. Another issue arose when her mother spoke to me disrespectfully because I refused to rent a truck for her and my friend’s sister. I wasn’t comfortable putting my name and responsibility on something for other people. (Which leaves me uncomfortable because those are still her family members and I am a long time friend , but it makes me think what does she tell them in order for them to be comfortable disrespecting me ) I lost both of my parents and it is hurtful because I actually call her mom , mom . So the behavior is just so shocking honestly .

I’ve also noticed that she keeps posting photos of me and even shares our text messages on social media. I’m not sure if that’s normal or if it is weird . She was also upset when I declined doing a birthday photoshoot with her. I’ve been working hard to save money and get back on my feet. My biggest concern is that when I eventually move out, our friendship may suffer because of it. At times, I feel like our friendship has become complicated because the lines between friendship, responsibility, and dependence have started to get mixed up .

I’ve never understood why some people view being single as a negative thing. Being single does not mean someone is unhappy, unsuccessful, or lacking in any way. In reality, I know what I want in a relationship and, more importantly, what I am unwilling to accept. After having a challenging year, I would rather choose peace, and self-respect than settle for the bare minimum simply to say I’m in a relationship. Sometimes I do want to cuddle at night haha other than that just kind of is what it is .

I also believe social media has created unrealistic expectations about dating and relationships. Soooo people compare their lives to“perfect” couples online, without realizing that social media is literally just that .

I am almost 27, I am completely comfortable with being single. I have goals, and plans for my future. Marriage is something I may want when the right person comes along, but I do not believe there is a deadline for getting freaking married.

My older sister, who has been married for two years, makes jokes that I will never get married because I’m “too mean” and will end up living in a house full of animals. Which honestly the jokes get tiresome. Honestly I feel as if a relationship should add value to a person’s life, not serve as a requirement for happiness. Like wtf?

To begin with, I’m 28 and my friend is 29. We’ve been close friends for years, but she has terrible time management. She sleeps until 1–2 PM almost every day and is late for about 85% of the things we plan.

At first, it didn’t bother me much, but now that we’re older, I honestly can’t stand it. We’ll make plans, and she’ll spend hours procrastinating while I wait. One time, we planned to try a new restaurant we saw on TikTok. We agreed on a time, I went to pick her up, and she wasn’t even close to being ready. I’m also the one who drives, so it’s not like she was meeting me there.

Another time, we were going to an event in a different city, and instead of getting dressed, she sat scrolling on her phone for what felt like forever. Once again, I was left waiting. Which there was still a 2 hour drive ahead of us. There’s more situations than these but I don’t feel the need to type all of them out haha.

This has been an ongoing issue for years, but it’s become more frustrating as we’ve gotten older. I love my friend and we always have fun together, but her lack of urgency is becoming a problem. There was even a time when I had to work overnight and had planned my day around our outing. She took so long to get ready that I eventually told her not to worry about it anymore. She got upset with me, which I didn’t understand because almost the entire day had passed and she still wasn’t ready.

The thing that bothers me most is that she knows she procrastinates and thinks it’s funny. Meanwhile, I’m getting to the point where I genuinely hate it. I always try to include her in things because she only gets out if it’s with me . Since she doesn’t drive and she really doesn’t have other friends . She also gets upset when I hang with my other friends . These are things I get invited to though. I honestly see no issue with me having other friends besides her .

AIO?

Has anyone ever gotten their prolactin levels checked ? If not I recommend it . My prolactin levels were very high and my pcp scheduled a MRI .

My scan came back today and there is a microadenoma present. Which can cause irregular cycles ,low sex drive , and also cause difficulties becoming pregnant. I’ve also always have very bad migraines .

Luckily it’s non cancerous , I am super over this PMOS bullcrap. I am also considering a GLP, metformin helped cut my appetite for a little while. Not much though.

Has anyone ever tried the pill? I’m not afraid of the shot but I’ve seen a few reviews of the pill . I was wondering which should I try first .

Hi everyone, for context, I was on birth control when I was about 15 to help regulate my cycles. Later, I found out that I actually have PCOS. I only discovered that a couple of months ago, years later.

I am 27. I experienced a miscarriage over a year ago, and as I mentioned, I also have PCOS. I’m wanting to know if I should go back on the pill or try something else. I really cannot afford to get on any birth control that may cause weight gain, as I am already struggling with my weight. I do know that for some women, certain types of birth control can cause weight gain. I also understand that everybody is different.

I am not looking to get pregnant again anytime soon, but I am super paranoid even while using protection. Because of that, I’ve decided to get back on birth control again. I’m not using birth control as a way to regulate my cycle this time, because I’ve been able to regulate it by taking inositol and a few other supplements. My cycle has been regulated for about three months so far, with shorter and less painful periods.

I’m mainly just wanting that extra security on top of using protection. I was thinking the IUD but my pain tolerance is terrible !! I’ve even read how some women experience discomfort while doing the do .

I had an abortion in February . It was hard but I knew I could not handle bringing a child into this world for numerous reasons.

I literally almost never think about it. I didn’t get the grieving side or the guilt side from getting the abortion.

Although when I see little babies / toddlers I sometimes get sad. When this happens I sometimes wonder what would my baby have looked like. I didn’t even get to know the gender of my baby.

Sometimes that makes me sad honestly . It goes away but it happens from time to time. Or seeing the little kids clothing section. One day , when I am ready. I will try again .

For context I am a 26 y/o , and I never have had an issue with getting over someone . My family always thought it was weird , but I can detach from anyone. There’s more to life than being sad about a man all day honestly.

The lack of emotional intelligence… instant turn off. A man calling me sexy all day is an instant turn off. Men that can barely hold a conversation. Instant turn off . Some men are just overly annoying. Age wise these guys are men but mind wise they’re immature as hell. I am a pretty quiet individual always has been.

Seems like men get a kick out of seeing how far they can go with a woman simply because they’re thinking she’s playing “hard to get”. When in reality the woman is just thinking you’re annoying as hell .

There isn’t a time frame on when I should be married and everything. For some reason my siblings think that I should be settling down right now and having kids. Like yeah nah I’m good. Haha .

Edit : ugh forgot to add the guys with mommy issues …. Like sir… I’m sorry but no . Please get the hell on

I am a single 26 year old . I am on Medicaid , i am in Louisiana . I do not get any benefits from my job being I do not get paid that well. I do not have any kids. I have to get wisdom teeth removed and also a front tooth has a damaged nerve from an accident I was in which needs to be replaced and tons of other things. I also have to get a deep cleaning. I kept the print out from the dentist and well yeah the cost is insane. I do not have $20,000.

How do I get around this? Medicaid for adults is sorry. This dental work is super important . I am in pain and every dentist I call are saying they’re not accepting patients with my insurance at the time. I have Humana healthy horizons.

Edit : I am about to stop replying to comments . To those that are being kind and helpful I appreciate it . I am not “lazy” . This Is not my parent’s fault. My parents aren’t Alive. I am in my 20s when I was younger yes my parents did make sure I went to the dentist regularly . I work as much as I can. I am ruled disable. I am also a college student . I also was in a DV accident and my teeth were ruined . Please stop being mean and assuming the worst of everyone. I am just looking for advice . There are way too far too many comments between this forum and another being super rude , and posting and deleting them . Thanks for all the helpful advice. Everyone isn’t as fortunate as others .

Edit : some of the replies aren’t realistic . If I could just pick up and move I would. I am in my late 20s I am disable and can only work so many hours . I have a job and I am a college student . I am not just “lazy” and depending on Medicaid . I am just not as fortunate as some. I really was just seeking for advice but some of the replies that are harsh has made me feel like crap. My teeth aren’t messed up because of poor dental hygiene. I was in a DV situation. My teeth have always been well taken care of . To the ones that aren’t being rude thank you.

Hi you guys it’s me again lol my daily rant . Here’s another. Did you guys notice any changes when it came to a dark neck? Along side from all the hair that grows on my face my neck is overly dark and in between my boobs.

I am currently still on the 500 metformin and I also take myo & d inositol. What are so things that you guys have done that’s helped? I know this prob def stemmed from insulin resistance.

So crazy how I’ve always had the symptoms when I was younger but once I got older everything just hit me like a bus. This is insane honestly . I also have skin tags and I want them removed not many but there’s one specific one that’s one my neck. My hair gets caught on it a lot and it can be super painful . It’s also very annoying. Don’t judge me but I never knew skin tags were associated with PCOS and insulin resistance .

Edit : forgot to add that my neck texture has also changed I’m so insecure about it , this has stopped me from wearing my hair up . I hate it 😭
