I'm listening to an audiobook which ends at chapter 91, I'm broke so I want to spend as little money as possible.

I don't really understand, on wiki it says there are 3 books, but on amazon there are 11.

Is there anywhere online I can read it for free/not much money? I definitely don't have the money to buy the physical books lol.

I'm not sure if it's the right subreddit but there's nothing about that in the rules, I apologize if it's not the right place to write about it.

As parents, what could your kid do to make you feel better?

My dad's mother has a deadly disease, she has maximum of 6 months to live.

My dad was never emotional, but I can only imagine how he feels.

How can I help him?

I asked him how I could help and he said there is no need and that he's okay, he always says so.

I really want to make him feel better, he's going through a lot, he hasn't seen his parents in 25 years, and sadly he can't visit them nor can they visit us.

I'm 16 y.o (f), I was diagnosed with asd, ADHD and anxiety when I was 12.

​

Today was my first job interview, recently the school year has ended and I've decided to get a job, I asked around (like 5-6 places), and found a bookshop that looks for workers, around an hour ago I went there, I filled the job application and the woman that gave it to me said we should do the interview now, we did.

She was nice, she asked me why she should hire me, she asked if I'll be able to serve customers because I was really nervous just from talking to her. (also I need to mention that I have a very quiet voice, I've raised my voice in the past but I've never been able to yell or scream, and I nearly whisper, i tried my best to speak as loud as possible but it was still quiet).

After the interview I exit the shop and I nearly started crying, a few minutes later I was around my house and I've started crying, by the time I got to my apartment I was already sobbing.

I'm still crying a bit.

I feel so miserable for the fact that I can't do something as basic as get a job, something I will need to do in the future to survive.

I don't want to make other people who experience something similar miserable as well.

I know it's not my fault (nor yours if you're struggling with it as well), it's a disability.

But still, I feel bad about myself...

​

Does anyone has tips? What can I do to feel less stressed? Will it pass with the time? Can I treat it? Will I be able to be a functional member of society in the future?

​

I also wanna say that I have a brother who is 21, he's also on the spectrum, he is currently working but really struggles.

I've seen him suffer from jobs and I thought it won't happen to me, but it did.

Now I also feel bad for thinking he was over exaggerating (I never said this to him, I didn't want to harm him).

It's so fucked up that we have to go through this.

Ps: English is not my first language, sorry for any spelling/ Grammer mistakes.

I've been feeling like I'm in a spectator mode in Minecraft for 2 weeks non stop.

I can't really explain it, I just feel like everything is weird and I'm not myself.

It's not that bad.

I feel this way only when I think about Depersonalization.

2 weeks ago I heard bad personal news, and I have had it since then.

I had the same feeling before but only while being at school/socializing (I have autism).

Is it depersonalization/derealization?

If it is how can I get rid of it?

I'm 16 y.o female. The guy she was talking about is in his thirties, he's my cousin's ex/friend, I don't really know.

She made this comment twice, around half a year ago AND a year ago.

I don't remember why she said it the first time, but the second time I said I wanted to live in Canada, she said that this guy's family lives there and I should marry him.

I wasn't really comfortable, but I was kinda scared to confront my mother about this.

Around a month ago we were talking about grooming and I brought this up, both my parents and my brother said it was just a joke, I know it was but I'm still not comfortable with this, I feel like it's not really appropriate.

Is it normal or am I over reacting?

Edit: I don't come from a culture where arranged marriages are normalized, I doubt she was serious, but I still feel weird.
