I bought the Roborock qrevo pro a little over a year ago. I had heard a lot of good things about the company and decided that if I was going to invest a lot in one then I should try to get one that won’t break down easily. Within a year of having the robot it got a main brush error that came from faulty equipment but thankfully they replaced it for free since it was within the year warranty. 3 months after the warranty expired it threw another code again. Roborock quoted me almost $150 to fix it or 10% off a robot that didn’t currently have a sale. I fixed it myself by buying a part online and replacing it. 2 months after that a different error showed up. I reached out to Roborock explaining how frustrated I was that within less than 2 years a robot that cost $600 broke down 3 times already, 2 of which were out of warranty. Again they offered me the option for paying to fix it or a $20 discount. I’m so frustrated with this since the robot was great while it worked but I’m not paying a yearly fee of $600 to clean my house by buying a robot every year since they seem to break down so easily. I really need recommendations of robots that vacuum and mop and that have a good warranty or will be reliable. I will not be buying a Roborock again so preferably any other good brands.

I (22F) lost my best friend (22F) recently in a pretty traumatic way, she essentially did the exact same thing to me that my previous friend did even tho she claimed she never understood how someone can do that and that she would never hurt a friend like that. Even after I set boundaries because of how much she was hurting me, she was so incredibly mean to me and made sure I knew that she thought I was completely in the wrong. A very short summary of what happened is she started dating a guy 10 years older than her who is a pedophile (we know because he follows only fans models who are all around 18-19 and comments on girls pics who just graduated high school) and completely stopped talking to me or spending time with me to spend every day with him and when I told her I was worried about our friendship because I never got to talk to her or see her, she said her bf is a priority over me and then when I communicated how hurtful that was that she wouldn’t even try she basically punished me for setting boundaries and not being ok with staying in a friendship like that. This was pretty isolating since she was the person I talked to everyday and hung out with the most.

At the same time, my bf(23M) started completely withdrawing from everybody and everything. For context he had a traumatic childhood. His parents died when he was 10 and he was adopted by his uncle who mentally abused him until he was able to escape when he was 16 and he was just hopping around places ever since. We have been together for 4 years now and he’s made so much progress. He is now in college and sober for 2 years and we have lived together for 3. This is the longest he’s ever stayed in one place and had someone be in his life for this long and I think he is just waiting for everything to be ripped away. So now he spends every waking minute studying or researching whatever he thinks will cause the world to collapse next and completely stopped talking to his friends and me, stopped doing any hobbies and even going outside to do anything, etc. He is in therapy and only he can get himself out of it but because this has all started the same time I lost my best friend I feel so alone.

I don’t have anyone to talk to about anything, and when I have free time I just spend it by myself because I have no one to hang out with. I’ll finish work and be excited because I’m used to hanging out with my friends or going on dates and adventures with my bf and then I just end up laying in bed watching tv by myself for the rest of the day. It’s so bad that I’ve started to look forward to the days I go in person to work because the human interaction I get with my coworkers really helps me feel less lonely. I just don’t know how to deal with this chapter. I can’t get myself to go and do anything I used to like because it just reminds me of how lonely I am that I have to do everything alone now when I used to be able to do it with the people I loved. I am also in therapy but knowing how something works doesn’t always help you change how you feel. I do have people like acquaintances or more distant friends but they don’t provide that daily human connection I feel like I’m craving with someone like a best friend or boyfriend.

I adopted my cat when he was 5 from a shelter that rescued him from a hoarder. He had FIV and stomatitis bad enough that he needed full extractions. However he still had pain after, so we have been managing it with the depo steroid injection for the past 2 years. We tried other injections but depo is the only one that had worked. Recently he started going from needing it every other month to needing it every month and now this month is the first time he’s gotten it and still has pain. Our vet is referring us to internal medicine where we will try other options but I’m just really worried if we’ll be able to find something that works. I would never want him to live in pain especially since he can’t eat when he is in pain but I know that there aren’t many options and nothing is guaranteed to work. Does anyone have experience with this and know if any option is more likely to work at all? I just never thought that his treatment not working would ever happen.
