My childhood best friend recently came back into my life. She was in a bad relationship and shortly after moved back home with her mom. They got into a fight and long story short my friend’s mom ended up calling the police and she now has an assault charge and is homeless without a car.

Growing up she would fake injuries to go to the er, jump out of moving cars, disappear for days while everyone panicked. She pretends to have seizures and doctor shops until someone says so. I’m not saying this in vain, mostly just to make a point that mental health plays a role in her inability to make sound choices.

I have been helping her with court stuff, rides, she stays with me sometimes, I don’t really give her money besides buying her food or something. I help as much as I can.

The big barrier for me is that I moved back home to finish my master’s degree and so it’s not up to me to allow her to stay here and my parents won’t agree to let her stay long term only sometimes.

A big factor is that every time I offer her a job, she doesn’t accept it and says she will just find a different job. She has had trouble getting into shelters because of the ongoing assault charge.

I worry that something bad will happen to her because she doesn’t have a car, and could be outside in the city alone at night with no resources.

I have no idea how to help her take care of her mental health so that she can start making choices that bring her back to baseline. I have no idea how to help with housing. She stayed with our mutual friend for a few weeks but he said she can’t anymore because she is a little bit of a hazard type and brings random people and drama over.

Any advice on what to do? I want to help but also am in school and working part time so I can’t afford to help her fully or house her full time. What can I do?

Having dated someone who lied and manipulated every word down to the kind of chips he liked, while he cheated and said similar things that Sincere said: adult men are not dumb. They don’t just “don’t know what they’re saying” or “say what they want to wrong”

He’s not dumb. Maybe he struggles with pronouncing a word but he knows what he’s doing when he tells the girls what he tells them.

Adult men aren’t too dumb, they know what they’re doing. Especially Sincere. He gives off textbook manipulator vibes, which often manifests as people pleasing behavior because the way to get what you want is to make people feel pleased with you so they think things are good. He knows what he’s doing. He even attempted to whip out the classic darvo tactic by trying to bring up Melanie’s one kiss and flip it on her to justify his own actions.

Him not giving Melanie the bed after knowing he is the one in the wrong is a simple, but clear view of his true character.

I binged the show and finished it tonight. I’m not an avid tv show watcher, but got hooked. Time travel stories are hard to pull off and they did a really good job. I loved the ending but maybe I missed a couple of minor things.

Who really was Alexander before he came to Winden and why was he there?

Why was Martha’s scar on the opposite side of her face in the last episode?

Who was the guy that Claudia spoke with in front of Regina’s apocalyptic gravesite who said he had wished to be her father?

What was the whole point of the room with the electric chair? Early trials of time travel? Why did Noah bring the first missing kid (Erik?) to that room if by 2020 they would have had other means of time travel more advanced than that?

Thank you!!

I kept telling my family and doctors what was happening and everyone chalked it up to stress.
I haven’t felt good for a long time now, I have to wait two more weeks for my neuro appointment and I’m just feeling scared and worried about the worst.

The ophthalmologist told me it wasn’t a big deal and not to worry but all of the information on the internet is scary.

I’m at 6 months of foggy head, random flashes of light, and fatigue
1.5 months of aura, black vision multiple times a day
2 times over the last 6 months I’ve gone numb in my fingers with pain and weakness
2 weeks of daily mild headaches

Over the last year I rapidly gained over 100 pounds and have been very stressed out.

I’m not sure what responses I’m looking for but I’m feeling really scared, I’m feeling like life is a bit unfair right now, I’m feeling like this is going to be the rest of my life or that I’ll lose my vision or need brain surgery. I already take two medications for a hernia and high cholesterol. One day I just woke up 29, overweight, and falling apart.

Thanks for reading

Starting from May 1-2ish I’ve been having waves of starry vision from my peripherals going into my whole field of vision where I can’t see for a about 10 seconds or so which can happen 10+ times a day.

There has been no pattern to it, it can be when I’m laying down, at work, standing still, any time of day.

Last week I started getting nauseous from it and started eating less because I have no appetite.

I don’t really get headaches after or during them until the last few days I’ve had very mild headaches.

When I got nauseous I also had some severe joint pain in my left elbow down to my fingers so I went to the ER. Nothing showed up in urine or blood tests they sent me home.

I went to my pcp yesterday and she thinks it’s ocular migraines, but I didn’t think they would cause a whole month of all day, every day symptoms.

I have an ophthalmology appointment on June 12 but I have been extremely exhausted, it’s hard to get through the day, I’ve had major brain fog, sensitivity to any light, ringing in my ears, pulsing in my temples and severe fatigue.

What should I do? I’m getting a little nervous not being able to see or function clearly on a daily basis.

I take rosuvastatin for hereditary high cholesterol and pantoprazole for GERD
