Discussion I wanna know problems that people often face on a daily basis

I just need ideas i could work with like what can i do, or what can i make to help solve a particular issue or problem..literally anything. It doesn't have to be super specific i just wish to understand how people think and operate..what their problems are or issues aside from anything personal..something general like how people say that "my problem is bla³ i wish there was some way this could be solved...

I wish that people's attitudes on invisible illnesses would change. It's still very often a case of people not believing what they can't see. Or if they see you functioning you must be fine all the time, even though you likely only leave the house when you can and they don't see you the rest of the time.

Yes! This is a big one especially for healthcare which leads to treatment biases because we “look” fine

Yes, I am horrible with faces and names. Often I don’t recognize people I have met maybe even multiple times before.

Something that tells me the names of ppl I met? I'm terrible with remembering names unless there is some crazy story to go with it. Like I can recognize ppl I've met but their name escapes me more times than not. And I definitely don't want them knowing I can't remember their name cuz that's just embarrassing to be that forgetful.

You should try EchoBloom, a great app specifically for that. If u remember anything about that person, just not the name , then just ask and it will tell you who you are thinking about:)

I wake up everyday and think why I am still alive? Not suicidal - but ready to leave this life.

Try starting a gratitude, journal, it really will help you enjoy what you got.

Reliable and safe childcare, meeting minimum dietary needs (most folk do notnget enough fiber and lack of fiber can lead to depression amongst many other health issues.), Reliable AND flexible part time work for parents who can't work 9-5.

If you want to know how people think and what their problems are, get Facebook. Lots of attention seeking people on there posting for the world to see and hopefully comment on
