If you believed that you might have a parasitic worm inside of you would vomiting help remove it? I figured that it might. Maybe not just once but a few times might get them out, though I'm not an expert obviously 😭

And if it is possible even by a small amount, what type of foods should you eat before vomiting to help? I'm a little desperate right now.

Are there foods that parasites are drawn to? Again, just curious.

Any comments and advice heavily appreciated! This isn't asking for medical advice, just curious about DIY ifykyk

(This is in no way condoning pseudo science. I am not talking about that. This is for peace of mind, I am not telling people to copy this stupid idea)

I went out on a walk yesterday to meet up with some friends. I was running late but I hadn't eaten all day so I quickly grabbed this flapjack bar thingy so that I could get my blood sugar up and my mood stabilized. As I was eating it a chocolate chip fell off of it and onto the floor. I saw a few people walking around there, and it's very common for people to walk dogs near that area.

Have I made someone's dog sick from eating it? It wasn't a windy or rainy day so it must've just stayed there. Could a dog die from eating it? The owner wouldn't even know if they did eat it because of its size, so their dog could get unwell for seemingly no reason. Am I overreacting?

if you've seen any of my other posts i bet you're really annoyed with me for being so needy and pestering online but i just need to get this out.

I'm really worried that my dog has a hookworm infection and doesn't show any symptoms. I guess the only weird thing about her lately is that the skin around her neck is a bit red. A friend said that it might be from the dye of her cooling bandana rubbing off. I don't know.

I've been insanely itchy lately and on no specific area, mostly my legs, stomach, and arms though. The more i think about it, the itchier i get. I have randomly developed an odd obsession with worms and parasites living inside of me and everyone i know, sometimes it's all i can think of. I just picture piles and worms all squirming and blocking up my insides.

I don't actually know much about this because i burst into tears every time i google it but i think she could have given me something because i've picked up her poop using poop bags and she's pooped in my garden on the paving and i've walked over there.

Is this possible at all? I really need some help with this! :( I'm not in any way asking for medical advice. I just want to stop my worries.

i kind of hate myself for being so weird and sappy online but for the past few weeks I have been non-stop crying because of this one thing. I'm really scared that there might be worms inside of me. I don't mean that in a theres-bugs-in-my-skin kind of way, though everyone's mental health struggles are valid and no-one deserves to be treated as crazy! All i can think of lately is things crawling and squirming inside of my stomach and it's making it hard to remain calm. It's such a disgusting thought and i feel a bit mean for thinking it because if i said that to someone's face they'd be offended that i think of them as gross which i don't! i dont care about germs really, just the healthy amount.

Every time that i hug my dog i think about worms wriggling around inside of her stomach even though i know she's on her de-worming medicine. Even people, i think about whether or not they have tiny invisible eggs on their hands, nails, mouth, or even eyelashes. I think about what's crawling around in them or trying to escape.

I've never normally been this fixated on something so gross and i'm scared that i'm subconscious faking this fear. Worse if how i always feel itchy, i'll shower, scrub & exfoliate, tie my hair up, change my clothes, change my sheets- everything.. And i'm still itchy. I've tried googling it but google keeps telling me it's just dry skin but i think it's probably worse. Like a bug or something.

I know how weird this is but I can't stop thinking about piles and piles of worms wriggling in my stomach even when I'm trying to distract myself. The more i think about it the itchier i get. I've been trying to avoid anything that could cause me to spread any weirdness or bugs to myself like washing my hands a lot, trimming or filing my nails my nails every few days, washing my bedsheets more often, and checking my underwear and mouth to see if anything is there (i truthfully don't even know if that's how you would check to see if you have a worm of any type inside of you and I've been /trying/ to avoid googling because every time i do i just watch videos after videos of stuff crawling around inside of people until i cry.

It just doesn't feel fair, not only that, it feels like it's come out of nowhere. I'm not a clean freak by any means. I wash my hands a lot but that's only so i can concentrate. I mean, my room is messy now and the clutter isn't bothering me, just the bed is.

oh! and i've been trying to avoid touching my mouth and face without first washing my hands and cleaning under my nails but that's a good way to avoid breakouts so it's not super neat-freak of me. Again, i don't know why i'm suddenly so grossed out but i am and i'd really like it to stop and i have a new and lovely hobby of begging for reassurance on the internet.

It just makes no sense why me???? why not someone who's actually neat????? I promise i will shut up eventually i'm just have a funny week lmao

I've had anxiety my entire life but a few years ago it got so bad that I couldn't leave the house without crying there and then spending hours crying and begging and shouting to stay home. I've made a lot or progress since then but every now and then I get scared that this is how I'll feel for the rest of my life.

I get weird obsessions on certain topics where I'll think about it for a few weeks and worry, it's just so exhausting. Not only that, everything stresses me out so It's like I never get a break from the worry. It's all made worse by how horrible I am socially,, and how strange I really am. Everyone understands that there's a reason (autism) for me to sometimes act a little socially inappropriate or awkward but sometimes I just feel like an elephant around mice, everyone is so perfect and good and they never take up too much space but I always do and It's always awful. I just hate it so much. I can never shake the feeling that I'm a horrible person and that I'm ruining the lives of everyone around me, made worse every time I speak to anyone (or not speak) or even post things online. I just wish I could be normal like everyone else and not have to worry this much.

I understand that most people get anxiety but it's just not fair that anyone has to live with this.... Idk I'll delete this at some point I'm just upset

Hello there, I've been having ongoing drama in my life for a while now and I just need to vent it all out. There are a lot of TWs for this that I could have tagged so I just chose to tag abuse but I and everyone in this situation are under the age of 18 in school. There will be very brief mentions of SH as well.

I struggled a lot with anxiety to the point that I struggled with school and even leaving the house. This was a year-ish (maybe more) long battle with myself and I'm now a lot better than I was before. Especially after getting a somewhat late autism diagnosis.

It took a lot for me to go back to school and then it was a small school with very little people, usually there for behavioural issues. In this school I clicked quite quickly with a girl, let's just call her Claire. When I joined that school Claire had a boyfriend that she was attached to the hip with, let's just call him Lucas.

Claire and Lucas were sweet at first. The first actual meeting we had the teachers let everyone go for a walk and she sat down and started talking to me and everyone else. She was showing off the tattoos she'd given to herself underaged and then was talking about smoking weed with her boyfriend and another boy that was there. She was mainly joking and telling them to never smoke and then told her boyfriend that the last time she smoked was after being at her mum's house and even pulled up those sober counting apps. I did notice alot of self inflicted scars on her skin and I was struggling with that too at the time so I felt that weird not-quite-envy feeling of seeing someone doing worse than you. I did feel seen by it and brushed it all off. I felt a little like everything was going really fast and that it was all too personal for our first meeting.

The next day she and her boyfriend were gossiping to me about a mutual friend of theirs and telling me how she got cheated on and all that stuff, again, I felt like it was a bit too personal but I hadn't had friends in a while so I was enjoying it which wasn't that nice of me. Lucas was joking with her and mentioned that she didn't like me at first which really upset me but I just brushed it off in the moment.

My whole dynamic with them felt off. They're sweet people and both are autistic so social awkwardness makes sense but I was feeling a bit left out and awkward around them as they would flirt Infront of my face in this weird, cringe faux-bdsm sort of way. I would spend every day crying in the car begging to stay home because I was too anxious going to school and then when I finally managed to get in school I had to stand outside following them around and occasionally giggling or poking fun at Lucas to not seem creepy while they flirted or play pretend at Dom/sub dynamics. Again, weird. Who am I to judge though, I'm weird and socially awkward too.

They eventually broke up which I was a little glad about after she told me because they were very co-dependent, lacked communication, and were overly jealous (like baby your first relationship can't be that serious) as well as being incredibly toxic. She would lie all the time to me to get my sympathy and attention which I understand as sad and I had a friend do the same thing to me when I was very young but it's still annoying and hurtful to be lied to everyday. He would get jealous at even 9 and 12 year olds in our small school talking to Claire. And she went through a phase of talking about wanting to have a child and having baby fever with me to sort of soft launch her telling me about their.... Relationship life. I don't want to go into any detail about that because Ew strangers shouldn't know that but it was awkward.

She came to me at one point telling me that she has a miscarriage and that she's so distraught. She tried to tell me while we were in the lesson but they mouthed to each other "Should we tell her?" "No." And then she told me anyways. I was so worried about this that I told I school counsellor and my parents and I was told that it's sad and horrible if it's true but that she would probably need medical care if that had happened and that since no-one else confirmed it I can't know for sure because I'm a very gullible person.

This will come back later. Anywho, I moved to a different site of that school which is still small but was alot more like mainstream and so much better for my mental health and growth.

When they broke up officially she called me and told me that he was abusive and horrible and that she was also moving to the part of the school I was now in because they can't be near each other. Obviously I was heartbroken for her and called him every name under the sun. She even showed me pictures of her with bruises on her cheeks, she told me that they did it in a bush and later she told him that she regretted it but he panicked and thought she was accusing him of assault. She then told me that he made her have an abortion. She said that he hit her in front of his parents and that she still loves him but she's so sad. I felt horrible for her and i was so insanely worried for her, I was confused about the abortion and miscarriage thing. Maybe she had both? Maybe she said miscarriage but it was actually an abortion? I don't know. It did feel odd to me because she has lied to my face about insanely serious things before and never, ever admitted to it so I was cautious. I do still wish that she knew that she could tell the truth and that I prefer to hear her telling the truth than an insane lie that will make me too worried to go to school.

Eventually I found other friends and these friends didn't like her. She had been calling everyone in the school and telling them about the abuse and my other new friends, lets call them Olivia and Lucy, talked to me about it because I was so worried about her and Olivia said that she'd heard Claire tell another student that Lucas hit her with a metal pole. Olivia told me to protect my own mental health and not believe everything at face value because the story changed a little. Lucy doesn't like Claire at all because of past drama.

Claire once lied about having cancer. She once took Lucy's mother's birth control out of her bag and claimed that she took drugs out of Lucy's bag and blamed Lucy, when Lucy confronted Claire she flipped out and told everyone that Lucy told her she deserves to be assaulted. She once told me that someone snuck box cutters into the hospital for her in a McDonald's bag. She once snorted drugs while on a call with people and it was brown sugar. She once claimed to have BPD and be having a split and made everyone calm her down despite not being diagnosed. She even pranked Lucas by showing him a fake positive pregnancy test to scare him into thinking that they'd become teen parents. She would walk around displaying minutes old self Inflicted injuries which I feel horrible for her and I hope she gets help but I had to avoid her because I was trying to recover from that myself and it's very trigger and also because she showed it to a nine year old boy and made him cry.

It's all really sad but she does have a track history of lying and as much as I don't want to believe an accused over the accuser/potential victim I couldn't hang around her much. After they broke up Lucas accused Claire of stalking him which I have actually seen her do to some degree. She once smoked weed and texted him while he was in a new relationship and while they have a restraining order. I don't know. She also would talk all the time about how she misses him which, I understand that those abuse situations are complicated but I'm just struggling with her.

That was all quite a long time ago now, she's managed to live her own life mostly. Sometimes she'll come to school and talk to me about her apparent drvg dealer boyfriend??? And I didn't want to be hyping her up too much because while I doubt he is an actual big dealer Its still a bad decision to make as a teen girl. God I just hope she's safe. She was complaining to me about how he moved away and only calls her once a day???? I did tell her that calling once a day everyday is still quite a lot especially as it is a semi long distance. She still complained about it so I don't know.

The most recent thing is that she keeps trying to essentially out me to people by calling me a lesbian at every chance she gets. The most confusing part being that I'm not a lesbian and have never told her that I am??? It's constant that she says it and it's always in front of a lot of people or teachers and at unnecessary times and it just stresses me out so bad I could cry. I don't want people to think that of me (I'm not homophobic I just don't want to be lying or have anyone think anything bad of me because of what they assume.)

It's especially bad because I'm somewhat sure I'm bisexual, I've felt that way my entire life but it isn't relevant because I'm not trying to date given how disorganised my life and education is. I also really, really don't want to be labeled. We have talked about it before and she's bisexual too and so it just confuses me. She acts as though I'm having lesbian orgies and I'm so terrified that it'll get out to my parents.

They aren't homophobic. My dad has made some offhanded comments about bisexual people or gay people or even transgender people before but I know for a fact that if I came out as anything they'd love me and support me which I'm very lucky for I'm just not ready for anyone to know anything. I've never even been in a relationship. It just isn't fair because I didn't want to embarrass her by saying that I'm not so I just have to laugh and ignore it.

An instance of this was today during a lesson where I was joking with the teacher. She told me I should go into lesbian stand up comedy??? It sounds so stupid but it really upset me because I was talking about animals and pets. Nothing to do with people or women or sexualities. She was just saying it for the sake of saying it and I have no clue why she keeps doing this. I don't know if she mixed me up for someone else or something because she also keeps asking me how my "older man obsession" is going... Again, I don't have one??? I think I mentioned a few times that older men or older male celebrities (as in not teenagers) are cute. But. That's normal. It's not like I'm trying to get with them, obviously not. They're just cute. Someone who's grown into the face and is confident in their own skin is objectively going to be more attractive than an awkward teenage boy. Again, I'm not seeking out dangerous relationships! It's just so confusing.

If you read all of this you either have too much time on your hands or you are an angel who was sent to give me their opinions and advice. I'm so worried about all of this. Everything feels out of control with her. I know that I sound really un-empathetic to her situations and life but this was written ages after I stopped being that invested. I promise you there were days I spend bawling crying because I didn't know how to help. I do care about her, I'm not psycho. She just isn't good for my mental state but I want to know if I'm being TA for not taking her side.

AITAH?

Just to get this out of the way I know fuck all about laptops and I'm completely tech illiterate. Like. Worse than the oldest person you know.

Anywho, my game was acting funny and so I was sorting through my cc folder to find which of my cc was bro ken.

I sort out my cc into categories of what they're used for because I was told to do so online and I'm a sheep, I moved all of my build-buy cc into my documents folder so that it's off to the side while I just test to see which creators cc isnt working for me. I genuinely don't know what happened here but as I went to put the cc back into my build-buy folder it was transferred over to the bb folder but there was still a copy of it in my documents folder.

It was weird so I just deleted the cc that I'd transferred over in my documents folder because I knew there'd be a copy.

I think I accidentally took out the EA folder from my game so I tried to put it back into my bb folder but it said that I already had it there and I can see the EA folder downloaded in the This Pc section.

Cut to the chase when I loaded up my game it all of a sudden went to a page saying "welcome to" the expansion packs I have.

All of my saved files and cc are gone and when I clicked on "new game" just to see what happened it was taking me through the tutorial. Again, I literally have no clue what I did but I'm freaking outt:(

Like I'm completely in the dark here as to how laptops really work and I don't know what happened but I hope that my save files are somehow recoverable because I was their gens deep into a NSB challenge.

I would lovelovelove if some angel on earth could clue me in to what exactly I did and if it's fixable because I'm confused.
