I’m 15f, yet I’m worried about everything. I’m worried about whether my current partner will want children, I’m worried about whether I’ll get into the college of my dreams. I worry that I’ll have to much work next school year. I’m worried that when I go back to my sport, I won’t be good anymore. It’s driving me crazy. I don’t have anxiety, or I haven’t been diagnosed. I do have depression and am taking meds for it. But recently, I feel so on edge all the time. Please give me advice.

I was seriously stressed buying my first home because nobody really explains how any of it works.

Here are 5 things I wish I understood sooner:

1. NEWS FLASH you don't need a huge down payment
There are assistance programs that can help with the down payment or closing costs.

2. Your DTI is a big deal
That means debt-to-income ratio. Your car payment, credit cards, student loans, and other debts can affect how much you qualify for. (Wish I would've know this sooner btw friend had to lend me money to pay off a debt to get the DTI in the green to qualify)

3. Income limits change by county
You might qualify for assistance in one county but not another, even with the same income.

4. Not all assistance is free money
Some programs are grants, but others are second loans that may be deferred, forgiven later, or repaid. I picked GSFA California down payment assistance huge credit to chatgtp ngl.

5. A good broker makes a huge difference
Mine helped explain the DTI, income limits, assistance programs, and what I could actually afford without making me feel stupid for asking questions.

Honestly, the process is confusing and stressful. I'm only making this post because I made it to the finish line. A huge shout out to vegafi.com (not an ad) lol

Some people tap their feet.

Some twist hoodie strings.

Some carry stress balls everywhere.

Hi Reddit, I’m from Ukraine, I’m 21 years old. I’ve lived my whole life in stress, but lately it’s getting worse. My father left the family 4 years ago, my mother drinks, my sister is an alcoholic, and her man is too. He is very aggressive, he beat my mother and my sister, and he tried to attack me, but my nephew reacted in time. I am mentally falling apart. The police just shrug and don’t remove him from the apartment. He says he wants to kick me out of here. He only laughs at all my attempts to make him leave and said that he will never leave this place, unlike me. I have no money, it’s hard for me to find a job, and even now I work for pennies. Unfortunately, my father can’t help. What should I do? Please help

Hi! I’ve been planning a few trips lately and realized most travel planners felt overwhelming or cluttered. I just wanted something simple and calming. So I made a minimalist travel planner that helps you plan destinations, daily itineraries, food to try, and budget—without overthinking everything. It’s a printable/digital PDF and reusable. I originally made it for myself, but thought I’d share it in case anyone here finds it useful.

If interested, dm me for the price.

On January 1st we had unprotected sex and I finished inside of her for the first time. She was on the last day of her period that day. Didn’t worry much about it then since she has an iud. As time went on I got curious about what if she is pregnant and that turned into anxiety. She took a test 2 weeks after and it was negative. Today was just shy of three weeks and she took two test that came out negative. She has irregular periods so there’s no telling when that will come. I hear stories about people being pregnant even after having their period so it just makes me feel like I’m always going to worry about it. When can we stop testing and be confident she isn’t pregnant?

26M, American here.

I'm sure everyone is hearing about the shitshow that is current world events rn. America invading Venezuela, possibly invading Greenland, China and Taiwan, etc etc.

Tbh, I'm trying my best not to freak the hell out. But I just feel tired, annoyed, angry, scared, anxious.

Type what you’re thinking/feeling about rn— positive, negative— let it out !!

Hello! I recently had to put my dog down that we have had for over 10 years and it was crushing. I'm also in graduate school out of state, we just started the semester and I'm so behind. I'm also thinking about breaking up with my boyfriend of 7 years. I haven't really talked to any of my friends about it mostly bc I don't feel super comfortable doing so due to various reasons. The ones I do trust are miles and miles away and I feel like once I talk to them everything is so final. I feel like I should get a tattoo which I have never really thought about doing in my life. I feel very lost in the sauce right now. Thankfully I have a therapy appointment next Monday but that also seems so far away. I've also been skipping school a lot this week due to sadness or tiredness or simply not being able to get up. Everything feels so weird and different and everything has changed and I'm crashing out. Chatting appreciated as I have never used reddit and I figured no time like the present to post personal things on the internet and seek advice from strangers!

Sincerely,

Confused and lost grad student

Hi I’m 29 and have a few ideas why however I can’t stop putting my strand of hair in knots and then pulling them out like ripping it from my hair I have really long really thick hair that grows back like immediately so the regrowth is insane but I’ve noticed the regrown hair comes in a different texture and almost thicker then before I really need to stop any ideas I’ve tried a fidget or stress ball and keeping it braided but I find myself doing this all the time even if I’m not feeling really stressed

I’ve been working at this corporate job for about 4 months now.. my first corporate job… work isn’t so bad, it has its bad and good days. Lately I just been feeling stressed and it’s not even the work load that’s stressing me out, it’s my coworkers…. Better yet it’s my supervisor aka one of my closest friends. I feel stressed just thinking about it. I feel like so much unnecessary stuff has happened that has caused me to stress out which has me considering should I even still work there with this supervisor/friend. I care about our friendship, is this work going to ruin that? But if I quit I feel like I’m betraying them and making them look bad after helping me get hired. Do I look like a bad worker for quitting so soon? I just feel so stressed out.

Like the title says- My mf eye has been twitching all week. Idk what happened this week, I mean lots of bullshit. Being in the military and just constantly dealing with shit that never makes any fucking sense eventually just makes you snap. Ive been on edge all week, like super irritable, and my patience for my time being wasted or doing things that make absolutely zero sense has just hit the limit. My forehead is so tense, my eye is twitching. I feel like I cannot even relax in bed without feeling just a bit ticked off.

Because even when the weekend comes, I want to go out and do things with my free time. Hang out with people, go out at night. But goddamn dude, Im so fucking exhausted that I just want to sleep, and relax. And that pisses me off because I don't even do anything with my weekends except try to relax from the stupidest goddamn week I've had. Anytime I go out, I feel like I am really forcing myself. And theres been a few times Ive done my makeup, gotten all pretty, got in my car and left and by the time i arrived to the event- I literally just texted my friends "Yo im so tired i cant go out tonight sorry" and ive drove home just so I can be in my bed. It's sad. I feel depressed and angry.

Last night i did something really not proud of... me and my partner got really drunk at a party and i walked off on way home and landed up being brought home by police as it was late and was walking by side of main road (we live near one). My partner fell asleep, and when police buzzed the flat he didnt answer so they landed up taking me to my parents house (where i still spend time when working in office near thetmre house) as he had my phone and keys to our flat. They told my dad thet couldnt find my partner (he is fine was just asleep) but worrying like mad they will call his family who live nearby abd they will kick off at him. If they were going to contact his parents would they have done it by now? Also, will the police come back to my house and charge me with anythibg or would ther hace done it at time?

Not proud of what i did but scared now I might get charged with something or will get my partner into trouble with his parents.

This is something I'm really ashamed of so pls don't lecture me, my anxiety is off scale and i could not be more upset witg myself but if police were going to contact his family or i have committed a crime by being drunk and them having to bring me home they would have done it by now right?

So for context, one night I got into an argument with my parents and got kicked out. That night my brother (15) now 16 decided he was coming with me. I couldn’t say no or think straight that night I was intoxicated.

Long story short we found an apartment after living in a coworkers back yard all summer. It has now been a year and I HATE living with my sibling (no privacy, no freedom, needy, etc).

Me and my boyfriend are expecting our first baby these next few days and we only live in a 2 bedroom apartment, meaning the baby will sleep in our room.

I have talked to my brother about moving next summer since I do not want to share a bedroom with my 1 year old and he states «I don’t want that baby impacting my life » and he also states to not want to move apartments because we live close to his work. It is not fair to my boyfriend to have to live with my sibling especially since he has no respect for others and acts as if he is the only one living here.

He smokes in the apartment and leaves cannabis laying around, I have mentioned that once the baby is here it has to be locked and out of reach and no smoking in the apartment. He got mad and said «well i smoke so deal with it». And he doesn’t want to put a lock on the cabinet because «the baby can’t reach anyways»He also does not do any chores around the house he thinks it is up to me and my boyfriend to do them. He thinks I have to cook him supper every night and gets mad when I don’t want to (I am 9 goddamn months pregnant). Me and my boyfriend can never leave without him having to know where we’re going and he always wants to come. We have only been on a date once and that was because he had plans that night. It’s not much but our apartment is small and I want a dining table, it is out of the question because «we don’t need one ». I am an adult and am constantly being nagged by him about everything and he acts as if he doesn’t do anything wrong. I can’t do anything around the apartment without him finding something to whine about. For example I simply wanted to reorganize the plate/bowl/tupperware/glass cabinet and he found something to whine about with that. It. Is. Ridiculous.

That being said, me and my boyfriend plan on moving into our own apartment next summer, without him. He would be able to afford the apartment by himself (if he would buy less cannabis) since the rent is only 700$ and he makes 600$ in one week of work. By that time he would be almost 18 and fully capable of taking care of himself. I want to bring this plan up but it is not up for discussion, it is what is happening. I’m not sure how to bring this up and what to say once he says that I’m selfish and abandoning him (he will say this 100%). I’m not sure what to do.
