How long did it take you to adjust to prisms? I feel like my eyes are struggling to focus and are more fatigued than before.

I did not have double vision but my doctor said I needed prism lenses. The first pair were horrendous and I could barely see. The second pair were much better and I could see normally but I still have eye strain. If anything its a bit worse than it was before. The only benefit is that I have more depth perception. My regular glasses and contact lenses were so much more comfortable but apparently I was only using one eye and my brain was blocking out the other. I cant afford to get another pair of prisms right now, im not sure whether to stick them out or just give up.

EDIT: The flare asks for empathy but a lot of people are just giving me advice or telling me to get rid of my phone. Even without my phone I will just lie in bed or sleep. The point is I cannot force myself or will myself to do anything. I have hobbies but I cannot make myself do them. I just want to do nothing. I have tried to force myself. I have tried everything people are listing, there is no way to make my brain do things when it doesn't want to.

Im 30 years old, if I'm not at work then I'm at home in bed scrolling on my phone. I cannot get anything done. I do not have kids as I know I cannot take care of them. If I have to do something then I do it as quickly as possible so I can go back to scrolling on my phone. Its ruining my life because all I want to do is scroll on my phone at home. I try to force myself to do other things but all I can think is that I want it to be over quickly so I can go back home and scroll. I am already taking anti depressants. I don't know how to motivate myself and I am not able to take adhd medication because of a health condition. I feel like im wasting my entire life. I have tried all the apps and lists in the world but nothing works. I do not know what to do anymore.

English teachers earning 2.3-2.7 mil won a month, how much are you saving? Just curious.

Hi all,

I am autistic but I have low support needs. I can work and live independently I just need occasional help and sometimes a bit of support at work. Here's the thing, ive been abroad for 10 years but due to a DV situation I'm thinking about returning to the UK. My parents have passed away so I have very little support in the UK. Im wondering what help I would be entitled to? Would I get any help since ive been away so long? I'm not needing financial help really but sometimes I struggle with certain tasks being autistic. For example I have a health condition and I find it hard to attend hospital appointments alone and deal with the information and tasks. I can also find it overwhelming to deal with things like paperwork and anything social. I also have very extreme anxiety.

Hi all, Im from the UK but ive been living abroad for 10 years. I recently was in a DV situation and I've been thinking about moving back to the UK. Unfortunately my parents have passed and I don't have a big family so I don't exactly have a hometown to return to. Ive lived in kent and London before but id like to try something new. I don't drive (due to an eyesight issue) and I don't have kids. I'm looking for somewhere not too noisy and busy, I like nature and I'd love to build a good community around me since I don't have much family. I previously worked as a nurse although its been 10 years since I left and I was teaching abroad. So not entirely sure what job I will be taking on back home. Any suggestions of places to live? Thanks a bunch!

Recently ive had the issue on CK that 2 or 3 siblings or cousins are sharing an account. The problem is that often they are all different levels and have no idea what they've been working on. This has happened multiple times lately. Of course if the student is my regular ive noted it down but when they come to me from a different tutor I have literally no idea, and sometimes the parents don't either.

I teach CK and on my profile it says no students under 6. I know theres a lack of students so I would rather give these students to tutors that are good with little kids and have props etc which I don't have. But I have been made aware that we are not supposed to reject certain ages or abilities on CK and should accept all students? is this true?

Im an ESL teacher from the UK living in Korea. The current company I work for, I have no choice who I teach or which level. I'm wondering if there are any companies that allow some level of choice over who we teach or don't teach?

I had my prism glasses for 2 weeks. I was struggling to read things in the distance and I was getting double vision for things up close which ive never had before. I went back and did the test again and suddenly my prism was way off. Im getting them remade for free but im still doubtful if theyll be good.
