u/Western-Warning-8874

I just decided to stop watching social media scrolling stuff all together. I posted a comment that got misinterpreted, got flooded by angry replies before I could specify, and got paranoid and just deleted my account. Figured I might as well quit now since I’m starting a lot of schoolwork soon.

I just don’t know what to do. I have lots of things I can do but I just wanna do absent minded things that don’t require thought or energy. Im having a hard time being engaged with stuff because I’m so used to not having to think hard when I wanna relax. On top of that I currently don’t have anyone to hang out with. Normally I have plenty of people to chill with and I can just listen to their chatter and be empty headed but its busy season for everyone I know.

I can’t find any videos that I enjoy in the past weeks so I can’t just switch to long form content and while I find watching streams to be a similar lack of need of brains the streamers I like don’t stream often.

Any tips on things to do that require less mental energy? Or if that’s not a good idea any tips on how to get rid of this listless feeling that prevents me from enjoying my hobbies when tired?

I was told to post here instead

I have a 14 year old female cat who has recently no longer been able to hold a growl anymore. Like she can’t make the growl noise consistently for longer than like a couple of seconds before making this puffing noise almost like a sneeze. So when she growls she makes the growling noise then puffs then growls then puffs over and over. Shes very dominant and likes to remind the other cats of their place so she growls a lot when they’re encroach on her territory.

I didn’t really mind it before but after another cat turned out to be pretty sick after simple looking breathing issues I’m sorta worried.

I would take this to the vet immediately but my parent prob wouldn’t wanna take them because we don’t have pet insurance (they think it’s not worth it for the price and would cost the same as if we were uninsured) and because of that it can be pretty expensive (we used to have basically free vet care before for other reasons but my parent hasn’t found a replacement for that service).

I looked over the rules and here’s the other information

gender: female, spayed

animal: domestic shorthair cat age 14 years I don’t have a exact weight but she’s lighter maybe 7-8 pounds.

signs: broken growls cannot growl for longer than a few seconds before making a puffing noise.

length of time of changes: about a month I think I’m having a hard time remembering. Originally thought it was just a sign of age (like how her voice is more raspy cuz she meows so much) but now I’m unsure

no vet reports I’m asking if this is worth getting checked out/ asking my parent because I don’t wanna do a false report then have them not believe me next time they are sick

general location: America

I know Reddit’s not a good place for medical advice but if I convince my parent to take them to the vet and nothing is wrong they prob won’t take them again when there is a actual issue plus it will cost a lot.

I currently have 8/18 pieces for the anniversary set and I’m tempted to pull to finish it despite having all the main pieces already.

Is there any idea what’s coming right after and is there any idea when we will get the zombie bride or other URs that haven’t ran in global yet? I don’t wanna spend only to see that the zombie bride or some other amazing UR is only a month after.

I cant do math or chemistry at all anymore. I used to be able to fine. I tried to do a placement test for college and I just broke down and cried when I realized iI couldnt even do basic things that required no chem knowlegde. The question literally asked which one of these is a rotated version if this and i couldnt even do it.

Im so screwed I cant do math either anymore I used to now I cant. I cant do anything I cant draw, I cant do well at videogames, I cant do basic concepts, I cant do chemistry, I cant do anything my brain feels empty and foggy I cant think anymore.

I just quit the placement test and stabbed my arm I dont know how I can do college. I cant even learn anymore I need help what do i do

I’ve been dealing with trichotillomania for about 2 years now and while my pulling has gone down significantly I’m not seeing much regrowth. I was told there’s a high possibility my follicles haven’t been permanently damaged since I only pull when my hair gets to a certain length and have only been doing it for 2 years but I’ve also been consistently wearing hair clips to prevent me from pulling for about 1 year which I was also told can lead to traction alopecia and permanent damage since I wear them so often.

Thats basically the backstory if that’s of any use. Anyways what’s a serum that I can use that won’t harm dogs or cats. I was told Minoxidil is the best and highly effective but I live w animals and don’t wanna risk harming them. I know there is a high chance my hair won’t regrow due to the traction alopecia (at least according to sources (also I have tried to check for signs of dead follicles but it’s really hard to tell because there is still hair in the way) but I still wanna try.

Any tips would be appreciated!
