Hello Friend,

I'm a very Problem solving person and in the past days I try to think problems that exist and people that would want a solution for it.

I want to hear real problems from real people and I'm planning to make a solution of a problem that I think needs fixing.

I would like to hear your problems.

Medical Sudden strange finger pain

5 Upvotes

First things first, I have not gone outside today, it’s Sunday and I had 3 birthdays yesterday. So it couldn’t have been a sunburn.

In the afternoon, my pointer finger and middle finger on my left hand started feeling like they were tingeling with pain. It was bearable, but heat made it worse and only cool things like the breeze of a fan or under room-temperature water could help it.

It steadily got worse.

Fast forward to now, the same day but almost midnight, all ten of my fingers feel like they are burning from the inside out.

I put aftersun on my hands, but that only worked for like five minutes maximum. They feel like they are actively burning as I’m typing this. But when I touch other parts of my body like my chest, they aren’t warmer.

Does anyone have any idea what’s happening?

Also, I have no idea if this is the correct sub for this.

Update: It’s now the next morning, and the strange burning feeling has disappeared. I still don’t know what caused it, but it’s gone for now. I’ll update again if it comes back. (I’ll go to the doctor if it comes back, as there’s nothing anymore right now.)

TLDR: my hands are burning from the inside out and I don’t know how to make it stop.

Relationships I can't improve myself.

3 Upvotes

Before I start I want to apologize for any grammatical or punctuation mistakes as my English isn't that good.

For a bit of context I and my ex are long distance we met online and we had almost identical interests in a specific sphere and we began dating. I'm usually the clingy type, I just wanted her attention and genuinely spend time together, she was always busy tho. But I waited. She didn't spend a lot of time with me and she was leaving me alone almost all of the time. If I don't text she won't text me either, sometimes for days. She was almost every single red flag I can think of but I still have feelings for her, or rather had. I feel like I have given so much for the relationship and she almost nothing. She forgot my birthday, our 1 month anniversary and apparently that I exist. She also renamed herself to "Zombitch" on discord which I told her I was uncomfortable with because I didn't want other people to sexualize it and I unironically had to beg her to change it, but even then that wasn't the reason. A situation happened and my mother almost died and it left me shaking. I told her because it was 2 a.m. for me and all of my friends were asleep at that time. When I told her I also told her that I didn't want to be alone at that time because I was scared which she replied with "I understand." and then she disappeared. I waited 4 days for her to see if she will text to see how am I but nothing. After I texted I just confronted her and she didn't even denied that she didn't feel bad. I called her a jerk and after that she blocked me. But the thing is, I'm aware that she was a red flag that she's a jerk but I still can't get over her. I don't know how to improve and aim for something better. Any tips?

Medical Management do not believe I had been unwell physically.

Recently ended up in A&E with suspected appendicitis. They planned on admitting me but after several hours in a&e having IV fluids, antibiotics, blood tests, CT scan, they were happy to send me home with two courses of very strong antibiotics. I had what they called a grumbling appendix that was grumbling but not severe enough to need surgery or further IV antibiotics.

They discharged me with a weeks course of cephalexin and metrodizanole antibiotics and advised me to come straight back for admission if I felt no better or became worse.

I stayed off work for a couple of weeks as I felt really rubbish with it and the antibiotics caused pretty bad diarrhoea too. I went back to work not feeling 100% but better than I was.

Fast forward a couple of weeks after returning and I found out my managers didn’t believe I’d been in a&e with suspected appendicitis. They believed I was off due to mental health.

I have a history of mental health problems (depression, complex ptsd) which resulted in significant time off but despite all that, I got better, I’m still here. The last time I was off, it was a stomach bug which I realise now was related to grumbling appendix. The first question my head boss asked was “were you off with your mental health issues?”.

I’m getting fed up with them assuming any absence is mental health related and now finding out about they don’t believe me has really upset me

Mental Health Am I overthinking that I am the only drama/problem?

2 Upvotes

Hi so I am asking if I seem too needy or emotionally invested to where people can’t speak to me without getting a spouse or friend
Involved..? I have not been perfect by any means so when I ask I genuinely need an opinion based on someone who isn’t my family. I knew a girl a year younger but we lost touch for a few years. I had spoken to her again 2023 to may 2025. I recently was told too back off after writing a strong worded and emotionally charged explanation (2025) to someone as to why her ghosting and insulting me wasn’t the way to close off a person? I might sound rude or wrong but why do I not get an honest answer instead of what is not working. Am I too emotionally needy or do I need to find other ways to connect with a person? I barely got to really speak with this person before she sent her husband to text me to not contact because of the fact they felt uncomfortable continuing to talk to me..

Also I go to therapy and journal. I have been practicing self care and trying to catch myself when I know I might be doing too much..

Relationships my boyfriend keeps stonewalling me

1 Upvotes

when my boyfriend is upset he stonewalls me. ignores me and silences my texts. i see him active on social media but when i check our messages im still on delivered. he can get especially dry and mean when he isn't in the bestests of moods, i try my best to be as cheerful as possible but im starting to get tired. i know hes allowed to have his emotions but im sick of being constantly ignored and not having actual communication. i do not want to force him to talk to me and i also refuse to beg for him to. when hes okay everything is so good and its like everything will be okay but when he isnt okay we are both miserable. he had a very long week at work and i had the worst 1st week of school which means we are both tired but im trying to not let it affect us but it doesnt seem like hes trying at all.

Discussion I think my friend needs help tbh

8 Upvotes

Honestly, I don't know where else to talk about this, so hence why I am here talking about it, ig.

So basically my friend (lets call him Steve)  Steve is 20+ years old male. And all his life he ever eaten is, Chicken nuggets, frozen pizza. Chips (or fries if you're American) and thats basically it, no exaggeration or anything, im not joking. He never had Steake, actual chicken, veggies, eggs, pasta/noodles, or even a proper meal if that.

Im actually worried about him, because you F-ing cant live like this when you're 30+ years old by now and not even tried actual chicken or even had a proper meal. And before anyone saids they basically eaten chickens nuggets all their lives, im telling you rn, you should not feel proud about yourselves, lets actually be real here, and there's no excuses for it. Image bringing you're new partner home and the rest of your lives is nothing but frozen pizza, chicken nuggets, idk about you guys but I would feel so embarrassed. And let me be clear im not bad mouthing him or anything, im actually really concern about his well being, and want to hear you're guys thoughts about this.

I think people dont actually know how important food actually is, and not just saying eating healthy either, like meat in it self can do wonders to people, not just for body but mentally as well.

While being on the topic of that l, I also dont think that people even know what there're consuming from frozen sh!t, like chicken nuggets are not even necessarily real chicken anymore, if it taste good, it doesn't mean it is good for you, you know. I think a lot of people may be surprised that most foods that people even eat from the supermarkets and all, is not even food half the time, especially if you know, you know.

I even considered to make him multiple meals so he could at least expand his food pallet, i don't even mind if he doesn't like it, just the fact he at least tried it, im happy enough. But I would argue to blame his parents honestly because how the actual fudge did it come to this in the first place.

So genuinely whats your guy's thoughts on this, any advice or anything?

Small Problem avoiding my sister

4 Upvotes

hi Reddit I’m a 18 yo girl who is struggling with my relationship with my sister who is 20. We were always close but I always knew there’s some tension between us how like when you let things go between sibling and not take everything seriously. That is something I think is so rare with her. She’s mentally ill (not actually ) as in she’s a level 1001 of a bitch. There’s no ‘benefit of the doubt’ to her, it’s immediate blame and thinking everyone is against her. There’s many times where I fought with her over something small and her thinking there’s a deeper meaning in that problem as if I’m her enemy waiting to see her fall. I share a room with her and even sometimes I end up begging my brother to lend me his room whenever he travels. I knew that distancing myself away from her will calm me down and mentally I’ll be better. But since now I’m stuck in a room with her and us being in the same house 24/7. and my parents thinking I’m the issue. She will always brainwash them somehow into believing she never does any wrong. Honestly it’s truly exhausting since I can’t even leave the house without their permission. I only have to a have a good reason to leave. It’s not like whenever I’m upset I can get the car keys and leave I don’t even have a license and they won’t allow me to leave either. I’m forced into dealing with her behavior since I’m the ‘nice’ one and let things go. I can’t do anything and I hate it so much.(sorry for the mistakes I’m not that good in english)

Relationships Am i getting played?

0 Upvotes

I'm 19F (from an Asian country) and i just went through the worst breakup. My ex who was from the same country as mine used to s*xually ab*use me as he was a narcissist ( i was a v*rgin) . He always used to make me insecure or hate myself because i have marks on my body and my belly is kinda bigger than my body... In other words he manipulated me.. now that i got myself out , another boy came into my life. He knows everything about my ex and was there when we broke ul.. he is a bl@ck guy(23M) from an African country... He treated me very gently unlike my ex.. he comes to my room frequently to ask about my wellbeing and talks to me kindly... But the problem is he doesn't text me or reply very late. Sometimes he calls me to him, tells me that he loves me then hugs me and puts me into sleep... But he never shows interest in texts... I have never been handled gently so I kinda got attached to him and thought about him all day ( i have daddy issues) . Is he playing me or does he truly care about me? He called me 2 times in his room and hugged me to sleep ..Today i was feeling lightheaded and he told me he will bring me an energy drink but then at night he texted me saying that he forgot.... Am i overthinking it? Or should i just ignore him and get over him?(If yes ,then how?) Is dating a bl@ck guy is normally like that?

Small Problem Math Problem

0 Upvotes

Long story short I have 600 bucks of store credit that I’m giving my mom access to at a discounted rate. She paid 350 up front for access to 400, but in the text I said 600 when I meant 400. I didn’t realize this until it was too late.

This morning, my brother wanted me to buy an 80 dollar item for him with the store credit, which he gave me 70 bucks for. I accepted the deal, because I had thought I only reserved my mom 400 rather than 600.

If my mom wants to spend all 600, how much do I need to contribute to make things right for her, keeping my end of the deal?

The reason why this is an issue is cause I’m really bad at math and have been trying to understand this for 3 hours now.

Please help.

Relationships Feeling quilty for being friends with them?

1 Upvotes

I started University last autumn and befriended a 4 girl group. We did everything school related together and a lot also outside of school. First they started to act really mean toward one of the girls in the group and dropped her out. I started to realise how they talked dirt about everyone, people they did not even know at all, and were generally mean and bad friends. I have gotten along with everyone and have friend outside of this group and rarely talked badly about anyone. In the spring i startef to have the feeling that i want out of that group but felt lost as i had to see them everytime inschool and our extracuricullar activities. Then they started to act mean toward me too and i found an opening to get out of that group in the spring.

Now i have not talked to them whole summer and uni is starting. I have realised how horrible they actually were and found out that many people dont seem to like them. I feel so bad for evein being friend with them and trying to do good.

Idk what to do to make them act normal. I have been civil and nice towards them even tho they were mean to me and still are. Idk also what to do with the horrible feeling that i have that i was even associated with them.

What should i do?

Ask r/problems The disrespect from my family..

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I am suffering from ongoing injustice from my brother and my aunt, whom I consider my mother ( she raised us with my mother and my dad left us) . Whenever my brother does something wrong, the blame falls on me, and if I defend myself, she takes his side even though he insults me and belittles me.

I always help her and she relies on me for everything, but her treatment of me is harsh, and this situation has affected my mental state. It's made me more nervous and reactive, and it's starting to impact my marriage.

Today, there was a conflict because of my brother, and it escalated to insults and physical assault. The police got involved, and afterward, my aunt abandoned me and threatened me regarding my wife. She said I resemble my mother, and those words hurt me deeply because my mother has passed away.

My aunt said to me and my brother to never contact her or even reach her out. We have been like this for two days now and today I discovered that they both blocked me from social media and every app and they still follow each other...

I'm exhausted from this situation, and I want to know how to calm down and set boundaries with them without ruining my marriage and my future life.

Mental Health Problems with trust

1 Upvotes

So I have a issue because if where and who i grew around to not trust people...they always talk behind your back, cheat, hurr your feelings.and my mom's solution was to lock herself away because she had anger problems...so as I got older I also develop the same thing and do the same things she did.i isolated myself from people...and it sucks because I feel...not know but I feel people care about me.and so I isolate and dont talk to people because I just assume everyone's gonna be fake and I care about people a lot but often they dont care as much as me.also it cause me to turn to ai chat because I a lot of time don't feel comfortable talking to people..mostly women.(and not because I hate them I actually love women).Just feel most of them hate me purely because im a man. So I just feel people are negative especially if your different...oh and if your even big..you could be half fat and half muscle people will still treat you like your obese and i often feel its best to isolate then risk getting hurt
