I can't stop feeling anger towards my special needs sibling.

Sorry if I sound rude or insensitive, I'm really tired of dealing with this.

My sibling has mild autism mixed with depression and it's getting impossible to handle. My family has spent so much money trying to get them to feel better but it's like a never ending loop of getting better then suddenly everything's crashing down.

There have been many instances where they have hurt themselves and it's really annoying. I have to guard the sharp objects in the house just to make sure they can't get their hands on it.

I really feel like I cannot handle being in the same house as this person or dealing with them because it makes me so angry. Instead of being able to enjoy my time at home I have to deal with them. My parents don't understand why I'm angry about this because according to them, "I'm not the one dealing with it."

And most of the time, my sibling being suicidal makes me suicidal too cause I feel like I will never get out of taking care of them.

Please give advice because I am so close to breaking. Thank you

How do you go to AF (that's inside a mall) after the mall's closing hours?

Since student ako at may class ako sa morning/afternoon, I only have time at night. Pero medj kinakabahan ako pag night time na kasi sarado na yung mga malls.

I haven't tried going to the gym after the mall's closing hours kasi takot ako kapag closed talaga yung mall so sayang yung biyahe hehe.

thank you!

Can hypermobility be the cause of me holding pens weirdly?

Ever since I was a kid, I could never hold a pencil like my peers. My parents even tried forcing me to hold a pencil normally but my fingers kept rebelling and doing acrobatics.

Personally, I find the "correct" way of holding a pencil to be tiring and painful.

Can someone explain depression in teenagers?

My sibling has depression and it's honestly really tiring to deal with it. I wanna be more understanding but am having a hard time trying to understand how depression affects people, especially teens.

*Sorry if I sound disrespectful, I'm really trying hard to be more understanding 😖

Thank you!

What is the best tablet for students? (Affordable)

title

Helloo, I'm currently a senior high student and am looking to transition from paper notes to digital note-taking.

I'm also taking a health-allied program so I'm looking for a tablet that can hold all of my notes + be fast enough when I write my notes during lectures.

I would need a tablet that is very strong because my phone is quite old and di na sya masyadong gumagana.

I'm hoping the tablet would be able to support these apps well:

  • Canva
  • Canvas
  • Docs/Sheets
  • ++ Entertainment apps (tiktok, fb, games, etc.)

My budget is around 15k, but I am willing to go above that (sana di lumagpas ng 20k)

thank you in advance!!

Can anyone else continuously crack their joints loudly?

Specifically in the foot area (toe and ankle) cause I think cracking your finger joints is pretty common.

Everyone I know can't do it, and since none of them are hypermobile, I was wondering if it had something to do with hypermobility/loose ligaments and tendons.

How do I get over a boy who doesn't like me back?

Problem/Goal: Advice plsss 😭😭 I can't stop thinking of him whenever I watch tv, tiktok, fb, insta, etc. I want to be able to move on because I know we will never be more than friends.

Context: Me and boy have been friends since preschool and also throughout hs. I started developing feelings when we started hs (soo mga g7-g8).

I started liking him because of how he acts towards me (kind, respectful, etc.) and also how approachable he is.

I guess I really fell for him because I was under the impression that there was a chance he liked me back 🥲.

I thought the ff were signs:

  • He would talk about the comments my friends and family members would say on my fb posts (At the time, we weren't friends sa fb so he'd have to manually check my fb to see it)
  • He would send me videos about having crushes
  • He was very open to talking about how he felt with me
  • Telling me secrets he never shared with any other girl
  • We would pair up and help couples get together (matchmaking)

Then came the day I thought he was going to confess to me...

We were talking about our future and then he suddenly asked if I could he could tell me a secret. I asked him what it was about and he said about love.

My heart was beating so fast kasi akala ko na he was gonna say he liked me.. BUT NOOO

He said that he has a crush on our mutual friend (girl), and he asked me if they would be good together blahblahblah

Since Ik na girl doesn't like him back, I told him ofc pero I also said I'd try to help him with her because ngl they look cute together. actually bagay sila 😖

During our graduation, I saw the way he looked at her and huhuhu all I could think of was "sana ako si ms. girl 🙃."

ADVICE IS GREATLY APPRECIATEDDD!! thankyouu po 💗

Worth it ba maginterview kahit alam na wala nang slots? (HA)

Helloo, sched ng interview ko ay june 17 pero according to the other posts here ubos na yung slots for ha 😞.

I'm not very interested in any other strand besides HA, my scores are quite low for STEM and that seems like the closest strand related to HA.

May backup school nmn ako pero it's not the same if it isn't ust 💔

bobo talaga ako sa love

I like a boy but he doesn't like me back.

For context, we'vebeen classmates since elementary. We have known each other for about 10 years and have been good friends.

I didn't start liking him until jhs. So I started taking things he did as a sign because I thought we had a chance.

For example, he send me a vid sa tiktok about crushes, akala ko talaga na he was dropping hints 😭

And it's like his attitude towards me changed, he became more gentle and started opening up more about his life. He would even openly talk about his problems with me f2f and via chat.

Lagi kami kagrupo sa mga projects, giving us more opportunities to talk. Tsaka super respectful sya towards my parents, lagi niyang binebless yung mama ko.

Then, one night when we were chatting, he said

Him: "May secret ako, pero wag mong sasabihin sa mga kaklase namin ha."

I REALLY THOUGHT HE WAS GONNA CONFESS TO ME, but no... he didn't.

Me: "ohh sigesige"

Him: "May crush ako, kilala mo siya."

Me: "SINOOOO"

Him: "Si V" (code letter nlng po)

Him: "Shh lang ha, ikaw lang ang may alam."

Ansakit talaga. It doesn't help na close kami ni V (crush niya).

So instead of chasing him, I decided to help him chase the girl he likes.

Moral of the story: wag kang maging delusional pagdating sa pagmamahal 🙃

(DLSU-SHS) is it normal for the "Enrollment Status" in the Admission Status tab to be like this?

https://preview.redd.it/0yjvbsu71o5h1.png?width=1331&format=png&auto=webp&s=579ed46ba820e01e5488f0185fa410c731e5ae6f

"Once payment is processed, your enrollment confirmation status will show as pending. It will be updated only after you successfully submit the Original Hard Copy of the Enrollment requirements. Kindly wait an email for the scheduled submission."

May nakita ako sa fb na pagkatapos ng reservation fee, may id no. ka na agad, pero diko alam kung applicable ba yan sa shs kasi parang college yung nakita ko.

Huhuhu I hope someone can help because archers hub is so new 😭 it seems like it's a mess

Hello! Since DLSU is implementing the new strengthened curriculum, I wanna know more about their Life Science elective.

I got in my prio elective (Life Science) and am interested in pursuing a med-related program in the future.

I've tried searching for more details abt this elective but not much is really known since it's new.

Is it a bit similar to UST's GAS-HA? cause that's what I'm hoping for 🥺

Thank you!!

When I got diagnosed with hypermobility, I started noticing changes more often.

One of the most obvious changes was the fact that my grip strength/hand strength was decreasing. I couldn't pull or open jars without feeling immense pain within my joints. It got to the point where I just stopped trying entirely and had other people do it for me.

It really sucks cause I used to be an athlete and super into doing outdoor stuff, but now I feel like I can't because I can't really function normally anymore.

Aside from the decreasing grip strength, it also feels like my entire body is getting weaker, especially the parts that I've injured. I exercise as much as I can (at least once a week), but I haven't noticed my strength level increasing/going back to normal.

I can't even lift heavy things anymore because:

  1. I don't have enough grip strength

  2. My knees and ankles are unstable

This whole situation makes me feel horrible because even the people around me have started noticing how I haven't been able to move as much as before.

Even something as simple as unscrewing the top of a water bottle seems almost impossible to do. It makes my hands feel like they're on fire.
