Hi friends! I want to recreate a geyser/airlift hybrid pump but I’m having trouble understanding the models? The screenshot from YouTube seems straightforward enough but I can’t tell if there’s a check valve at the bottom. Also I’m thinking the grey box is air in the other two models but I’m not sure.
Thank you in advance!
My mother refused to have me evaluated for autism when my pre-k teacher recommended testing when I was 4 and she spent my teen years calling me lazy or saying that “I’m pretending to be dumb.”
I get evaluated at 18 on my own dime, mind you I have IIH which left me bedridden the most of the day by the time I was 20, so I had to start my own pet sitting company to make money and pay for my own medical bills. I’ve been paying them myself since I was 16 through various jobs I couldn’t hold onto. I’d get a job, and then my body couldn’t keep up.
Now she has the audacity to say that I’m “more pleasant to be around” and that I’m like my “prepubescent self” again. Mind you she said that she created the perfect child that loved to clean as a young kid and now I’m only “3/4ths perfect,” since I met my father. She also said she wanted to use my shunt to revert me back to 15 and then 9 “before I went crazy.”
I paid for my treatments and care, she doesn’t get to take credit for the positive person I become. It makes me feel sad though because I struggle without my meds and I guess that does make me less tolerable to society.

I- I- don’t know what to say… it’s a page full of this 😭
Broooooo 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Context is basically when I was 7 my mom was watching the Whitney Houston funeral and she was supposed to be making lunch but she gave me alphabet soup instead so me being 7 and hard headed, I didn’t want to eat it and she spanked me for interrupting the funeral stream and until now I haven’t had it (I’m 22 lmao).
Now I have a Crohn’s flare plus I’m sick so this is the first meal that hasn’t made my asshole explode and my stomach collapse in on itself causing severe pain. I tried mashed potatoes earlier but I couldn’t finish it so this is a win!
On the left is my stepdad’s chicken noodle soup he made me which has onions in it. He knows I don’t eat onions. The right of course is what I got from Publix. I feel very bad because he did make it for me after we considered an ER trip today. After he was on TV, I came out of my room balling my eyes out because I was in severe pain and I couldn’t stomach some Bob Evan’s mashed potatoes. I’ve lost like 5 pounds in 2 days and I just need to eat something gang
My coworker showed up to work sick the other day and I, inevitably got sick as well. It’s been two days of this nonsense. I made the mistake of wanting Krystal’s and gave myself the worst stomach ache and runs. I skipped gymnastics this week. I’m very fucking tired.
I feel like I’m wasting my time. I fell asleep at 7 last night and woke up at 9am today thinking it was Saturday and it’s Friday. Some of my closest irl friends haven’t checked up on me in days despite them knowing how I feel. The surveillance state is only getting more dystopian by the day. Does any of this really even fucking matter in the grand scheme of things?
Context: I’m chronically ill with crohns, eds, pots, gastroparesis, and IIH. I’ve been getting acutely sick very frequently this year as I work with small children. This is my 7th cold/flu this year. I feel very run down and none of my mental health issues help at all between the ADHD/depression/arfid. I feel like a waste of fucking oxygen. A walking vegetable perhaps.
I have a fever and last night I saw some polytrix art of Zoey and I dreamt that I had a t-dih while still identifying fully as female…
I’m already on thin ice with my parents bro, why am I like this???!!!!!
I- I don’t know what to say 😭😭😭😭😭
And then they have the audacity to feel sorry once someone actually goes through with it.
I’m in therapy of course but the small amount of times I actually shot my shot it was completely one sided even when it turned sexual in a way I wouldn’t talk to a regular friend so it confuses me when they eventually reject me. Otherwise if I find the person physically attractive but I never considered dating them, I just say yes to see where it goes and it eventually goes to shit due to availability or manipulation.
Once, I was 19 (now 22) and trying to contact small businesses on YELP OF ALL PLACES for this bum ahh bi- who wouldn’t get off the game. He told me to stfu once when I told him he should get off the game and cool down and I just slowly closed his laptop and took the shower head I bought for him for Christmas and left. Mind you he was 20-21 and could’ve bought it his damn self….
My mother and stepdad think I have no initiative or accountability.
I deadass started a pet sitting company so I could continue making money while sleeping 16+ hours a day pre brain surgery last year. Was laid off a job two year ago for developing liver disease because they wouldn’t let me sit. Same year I went to residential treatment for ARFID (tAkiNg AccOunTaBilITy) but my mom tried to kick me out for signing up for Medicaid because I couldn’t afford my medication and appointments. Now I’m a gymnastics coach who runs to the bathroom in the middle of class and the doctors suspect I have Crohn’s. It’s always SOMETHING with my body and my mom thinks I LOVE IT 😭🔫
I have two inventions I’m working on, one to help people with ARFID and one to help cool people down without AC and my stepdad wants me to make FPV drones because “that’ll make more money faster…..” I-
I have gastroparesis and developed Crohn’s and my stepdad told me to do a “flip on my diet” and when I told him I have an eating disorder he told me to pick a struggle 😭. I said that I would be fine if I was supported through residential treatment and was allowed to continue and I compared it to when people say “just get over it” to an alcoholic when it might be hard for them to attend AA meetings but they work.
My stepdad then said that if science were to work then LeBron James wouldn’t be bald because he tried all the creams and hair transplants but he ended up bald and then he told me to learn from this?????????
So being mentally ill, the lesson would be just to get over my ARFID or accept it?????? I’ve basically cut out fried foods from my diet (eating on occasion aka maybe once a week) and my safe foods are basically meat, rice, and potatoes and my gastroenterologist said that my diet would of course be better with cooked fruits and vegetables but it’s not horrible given my cholesterol levels are normal. I- 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I would be sad asf about the dismissal of my disorder and made to feel like a pathetic failure of an adult if it wasn’t so god damn funny 😭
Hi, I’m 22/F and I had brain surgery last year for IIH. I was also diagnosed with hepatitis (a doctor ruled it MASH another doctor said it could be autoimmune), started a dog sitting/walking business, closed it, moved states, and now I’m struggling to hold down the job that I have. My mother hid my Zepbound, causing me to miss a dose. This is the medication I use to control my weight as of course with EDS, extra weight had it painful to exercise and I also have IIH and MASH (supposedly). She said I was the perfect child who folded clothes and cleaned before I met my father and now I’m 3/4ths perfect. The also said she wishes she could use my shunt to revert me back to before I was crazy (around 15 years old). She says I have no reason to be depressed and refuses to transport me to my recommended ketamine treatments or help me with the funds to get me evaluated for autism (which she should’ve had done when I was 4 when my school recommended it). Now I’m being evaluated for Crohn’s disease because I’m very tired with severe stomach pain and constant loose stools.
I’m tired and suicidal at this point. Nothing I do matters. I have ARFID and my attempts at treatment don’t matter because I shouldn’t have that issue to begin with, I should just eat. I’m trying to make an inner mouth cover for people like me and to her it’s useless. My stepdad rather would have me make drone guns than me working on renewable heat engines that no one will use since we keep burning fossil fuels. My worth is determined by my ability to work and it’s dwindling. I don’t know how I would survive on my own since I no longer qualify for disability since I’m dynamically disabled. I’m stuck and I want out but I’m too hopeful and scared to pull the trigger.
I don’t know what to do or where to go at this point. I felt so immature even going back to my home state earlier this year by myself for a few days because I didn’t know young people basically couldn’t rent cars for example. I feel so ignorant and pathetic. I’m scared that when I move out, I’m going to fuck up and become homeless.
I wonder if I killed myself would my mother mourn my dead or would she think I took the easy way out despite having everything (house, car, food, phone, etc).
Any and all advice would be appreciated
If you’ve been in the sub for a bit, there’s a slight chance you’ve seen me posts called: EDS Accusations. I posted about the medical neglect and emotional abuse I endured as a teenager and now I’m 22 and back in the same boat.

My friend just told me to put a pause of my food wrap project and just brute force myself to eat. He says he “understands what I’m going through,” but it doesn’t seem like anyone does in my life. He says it sucks but we all have to eat things we don’t like. I feel so stupid.
