I had to go to unemployment for snap purposes. The woman was looking through my employment history told me that I hadn't worked since 2024 according to their records. 🤔 I spent 2 years as a line cook. I have paystubs and W-2's. I know I can't get unemplyment but why would it show the 2 years I spent at that job never happened? I remember when getting my W-2 we had to go in and have them handed to us. There was no mailing them out. When people no longer employed there came in to pick theirs up, my boss had to fo something on the computer to prove they were there. Is this something I should talk to a worker at the unemployment office about or just keep trying to look for another job?

I am 34, AFAB. 7 years ago I had a female friend that was a junkie(her words). She wanted me. I told her no and she said if I tried to leave she would reach for a firearm. I said no but she said yes and that's all I want to say about that.

Afterwards I became ill. A cold that lasted for a few months. I felt like something was wrong. I've had STD testing and it all came back negative. Between then and now my legs and stomach have swollen, slight cobblestones in my thighs, rare pain on skin, pain in my upper left abdomen, nausea, vomiting, reflux, wheezing, difficulty breathing, and a lot of weight gain. It took this long, a few pulminologists, a cardiologist, obgyn's, pcp's, and my current NP before I stopped hearing that I was too young to have health problems and all this is in my head. I spent a year doing strict diet and exercise which I only gained thinking this could be medical. I saw a NP and was diagnosed with lymphodema. The specialist told me to get a second opinion from a vein specialist because I have port wine stain birthmark and the treatment didn't really do anything. He did a vein test to check for venous insufficiency which came back with There is decreased attenuation in the hepatic parenchyma suggesting fatty infiltration in the results. Basically fatty liver. I did some reading to see exactly what it was and how I can change my already strict allery limited diet to help myself. 😞 I read hepatitis could be a possibility. I don't drink or smoke. I don't do drugs. I'm considered boring for this. Could I have gotten hepatitis from the night I was assaulted even though we are both female? Is hepatitis even treatable? I do have another test coming up for Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome in a few weeks. Should I call my doc and schedule to talk about my current results and possible testing/referral for hepatitis? Could I still have it after all this time and are my symptoms even related? I want to not be 350 pounds with swollen legs/thigh/belly. I want to stop throwing up. I am actively seeking a therapist for hypochondria since i've been told this is normal, nothing can be done, and it's all in my head.

I am 34... I have no job and I'm thinking about changing career from trade work or line cook to something else. I have no idea what to do with my life and I need to try and find something that's disability friendly for my lower back injury and allows me to go to the bathroom without timing me. The second one isn't so much of a requirement since I can be quick but I kind of want to experience what it's like not being timed to go to the bathroom. I'm not sure what to do. I was a welder and I used to really enjoy cooking but I want places not so toxic. I want to be able to sit down during my shift and have a break without having to earn my right to take one when I work 12 to 16 hours. I want...something new... What's something I can look into trying that pays at least $12 an hour?
