I'm trying to install a ceiling fan, but I'm running into two issues: there's an extra cable that goes nowhere? And, the notice is unclear whether a disconnector is necessary or not. Many thanks!

I (F19) just came home from uni in another country, and I'll be staying for a year or so, getting a job, and preparing an application to another uni (I decided to change degrees).

So, I'm living in a small town with my mother now. While in that other country, I got to experience therapy, and realised I actually really need it, as only 20 sessions made my life much better. I'd like to continue throughout the year. During my year at uni, I was also diagnosed with ADHD.

So, since this is a small town, there aren't many therapists. My mother has a therapist, and she keeps recommending this person to me. This therapist specialises in ADHD, eating disorders, and recently did a test/license/something (I don't know how it works) on addictions. She's also got a qualification around depression, and a few other things too, but those are the important ones. And, that is EXACTLY what I'm in for. Especially the ADHD, depression and eating disorders.

However, I'm worried since my mum is also her client? I'm not guaranteed to find another good therapist around, but I'm not sure it's a great idea to go to therapy, probably talk (a lot) about my mum, with someone who knows her.

What do you think?

I'm trying to look for a protest pic from a while ago and I can't find it for the life of me. I drew something based on a rough memory. Can a subreddit help me find it?

It's pretty self explanatory, but I turned off all AI recommendations, and when I look up "fantasy landscape" I see EXCLUSIVELY AI generated images. I tried tapping the "see less AI art" button on as many of them as I could, but it changed nothing.

How do I fix this?

I got diagnosed recently so I'm still trying to figure out what parts of my actions are ADHD related or not.

Basically, I've been watching TV today, and I just realised... I just brushed my teeth? It's 2pm, I brushed my teeth this morning after breakfast and ate since. And I just realised I have the feeling of recent toothpaste in my mouth? Like I just brushed my teeth?

I have ZERO memory of brushing my teeth recently, and I ate lunch since so it isn't lingering from this morning. And now I'm left questioning why tf I did that and when?

Did this ever happen to you? Is it an ADHD thing?

It's not the first time I did something I don't remember, and now I'm left wondering how much I do this, since I would only catch it when it has an effect I notice after. Kinda creepy tbh

Basically, my binge eating is so bad that what I shop I don't keep in the house for a long time. This has become a toll on my budget, so I recently started not buying in bulk. If there is no overabundance food, I don't binge, and I shop when in a clear mind, I won't be wasting money.

At least, that was my thought. The thing is, I'm also dealing with depression. Since I stopped buying in bulk, I buy for 3 days ahead max, and now I'm in bed, starving, only ate one bowl of pasta yesterday, because I can't be asked to get off my ass and go shopping, my depression is that bad.

And then what happens is I get super hungry, go on Uber eats, binge a whole week's shopping monetary worth in one night, lose money and binge anyway. I am in debt, and I don't know what to do.

I tried doing grocery shopping online, but that has not helped, not just because it's more expensive, but also just because I can't seem to be able to walk the line between buying bulk and only for a few days. I just can't control myself online.

I'm asking because I'm aromantic, and neuro divergent. A study was recently released, talking about the relationship autistic people and neuro divergent people are more likely to purr the line between what is friendship and what is romance. Meaning that, what is romantic to a neuro typical person, can just be friendship to someone who is not neurotropical.

And as I read and went through analysis of the study, I realised I relate a lot to that way of seeing romance. And now I wonder just how related it is.

So, how many of the aromantics seeing this are autistic/neuro divergent?

here is the study on autism and romance

Some of my boards have it, some don't. I tried changing the title, in case Pinterest's AI thought it was inappropriate, but it didn't work. The contents of the board are also normal (landscape arts). How do I fix that?

So, I've been very depressed lately, to the point I haven't gotten out of bed. I only get out once a week for therapy. This means that I have become very physically unfit. I cannot stand for too long without getting major back pains. 5 minutes walking has me panting. I can barely stand long enough to cook rice.

Anyway, I haven't gone shopping in way too long. I don't have anything to eat. I have a shop around ten minutes away, and every time this happened, I forced myself to walk there. 10 minutes there, 10 minutes back. But today, I am worried that even this is too much. Every time I get there, I am in agony. I think I'm pushing it too hard. But not going there means zero exercise at all.

I'd like to do a mini workout at home, but, well, if I can't motivate myself to get off my ass to watch a movie, good luck to me trying to motivate myself to workout.

I guess what I'm asking is, is there a way for me to get back in shape despite all this? Is there anything I can do? I've tried spending more time sitting down than laying down, but I'd like to get back on track enough to at least walk 10 minutes.

Sometimes, on subreddits, people have little images next to their names. Like, flags, or their favourite characters under a game's subreddit, or something like that. What are they? How do you get them? Are they earned or something? I often see them next to top posters.

I have been able to hide every ads except theirs. When I click on the three dots, it only shows "why this ad?" or "Report". All it says is "this as has been served by one of our parterners". It doesn't give the option to "Hide".

Edits 1, 2, 3 & 4: Grammar and autocorrect messed me up haha. I Also removed the useless rant lol
