That's right - just $10. Not $500 or enough to live off of. Just the tiny amount of $10.
I don't really need the $10, I make plenty at work to have excess to put towards various ventures and fun now. But I'm practically dying over here in the corporate world not building anything for myself. I want to try a few new things and see if I can find my way towards making just a few bucks, maybe find a passion along the way.
I've seen a fair number of these posts and they're always lofty and vague, so I figured I'd make the goal humble and specific, see what happens. (maybe it spins up some discussion about testing new ventures or side hustles in general.)
Skills: These posts always end up with comments of "Well what skills do you have and what do you like to do?"
I'm burdened by being a fairly competent generalist with a very diverse background. I can make my own website (but don't want to make one for others), can figure out my own SEO and marketing strategy, probably make videos/content for whatever I'm doing and build out social media accounts to at least a few hundred/thousand followers. Handle the legal side, accounting, funding, acquiring material/stock and dealing with vendors... damn near done everything at this point related to running small and mid size businesses (for other people's benefit.) I'm not a fan of direct sales pitches, but I'll deal with that along the way.
I'm good with my hands and building/crafting/design work. I spend most of my free time over in nostupidquestions because I love dabbling in literally everything. (aka: the "poison" that has prevented me from just knowing something specific I like to do.) Hell I've even spent a fair amount of time in here answering specific questions about running a business since I've filled so many roles in them.
So assume that I do have the skills needed, or will be able to learn them.
I humbly request help or direction...

Hello 👋 i'm 20F and i'm pregnant with my first and only child. She's a girl and i'm 22 weeks pregnant. The father was and is my first and only partner i've ever had.
I'm really scared to open up about my story because i'm afraid of judgement, but I would really appreciate some help all the advice I can take. I really want to do well for my daughter.
I was severely abused and neglected as a kid; physical abuse, emotional abuse and neglected. It happened at both school and at home. I grew up in a feral environment. I didn't know about healthy eating, education, work etc. My family would just beat and abuse and were hypercritical.
I got kicked out of home to live with my grandmother and she helped me a lot education wise, but it was always expected I respect my parents which I tolerated but it never ended well when i'd see them. They separated you see. My mum and I cut contact with each other and my dad would often abuse me on the uncommon days i'd see him.
After my grandmother passed when I was 18 I became more and more depressed but I wasn't aware of it. I was living with my aunty at the time too. We both went on one snack (no meals) a day for almost a year. Again, at the time I thought it was normal. I was already an extremely anxious person so it exasperated things greatly. During that time my aunty would drink and abuse me and my dad abused me too, even siding with her with police over a cup which hadn't been washed. My aunty would point out bruises she had and claim she'd tell the police I did them (she worked for them). The rest of my family are party-goers and abusive too (Aunties, Uncles, cousins). My dad used to let his girlfriends and their kids abuse me a lot and he'd side with people from school when they'd abuse me.
I met my boyfriend during this time and well he was my first. A nice guy I suppose but I found him to be very controlling and he put me down a lot. I tried to stand up for myself but given that I was already abused over the right options and that, I lost myself in him. I got clingy. I got very anxious around him and it got to the point where I left uni because of the stress I was under. This was an online relationship too. I wanted to leave him but I felt guilted into staying with him, given no matter what I did by anyone I was always wrong. I never drank I never did drugs never partied, just studied and watched youtube prior to knowing him. I lost 10kg within a month due to stress.
The first bad thing I did was that I pretended to be someone else online (created a fake person) to understand why he wasn't affectionate with me and didn't love me. Bad thing I know and I felt really guilty over it. I was very scared and confused at the time.
I ended up travelling to where he lives and we hung around a lot but I did something stupid. Initially I was taking morning after pills because well he didn't use condoms (not to say exclusively he hated them he just didn't use them). I know I was stupid. I had a very bad reaction to the pill so I told him and I told him I was going to take the normal pills instead. Unfortunately at the time when I was with him I didn't take them even though I bought them and said I was taking them. This is the second thing I did wrong. We only had sex once a month for three months and I was really considering breaking up with him. I felt like I couldn't bring up how I felt about not taking them because every single time I brought up a concern with how I felt, I was immediately shut down, laughed at, ignored and abused. It was happening all around me with family and friends for a few years too. I wanted to make him happy? I don't know but I was scared to take them.
I found out I was pregnant a few weeks after the third time we were together. I felt like wtf did I do I felt so ashamed as I should be. But I was also really happy because for the first time in my life I could take a step for myself and stand up for myself.
He wanted it gone, threatened not to pay child support, threatened to lie about DNA tests and that. He was calling me a hypochondriac and a cunt for being concerned with my health when the doctors thought something wasn't right. He told me I was stupid to tell my family, but even though i'm scared shitless of them i'm not going to lie about it to them. As for my family they demanded an abortion and said I was an idiot and I was dead to them. When I came back my aunty would drink and abuse me so I got fed up called the police and I left. My health was very bad too at that point because the father and I would argue constantly and i'd only get 4h of sleep a night. I'd freeze up and i'd only eat one meal a day.
I left my family to stay at a family friends house and they've been amazing. A true eye opening experience for me. I've learned a lot about my health since then and i've been seeing counsellors and GPs, eating healthier and overall my mental state is SO MUCH BETTER! Better than it has been in YEARS! They're very supportive overall and helpful and i've been getting back on my feet and stronger everyday.
I was still talking to the father however. I did tell him the truth about the two things I did and he went mad at me, as it is his right. I told him i'm trying to change and that i'd be more honest and about my anxiety and depression, especially now that I'm receiving help. Prior to telling him he was saying so many nasty things to me and after it he continued to do so. He keeps saying he loves me though but all I can gather is that i'm in a really dark and scary place atm. I'm struggling with trusting in general. I feel like i'm walking on eggshells around him. I would like to make things better with him. I don't feel like I can trust him and well yes I have more of an understanding of how fucked the situation is.
I feel like I need time to myself to think? I feel like I need to establish healthier habits which i'm acquiring? I've been eating a lot more and exercising and focusing on the baby which is helping me, journalling.
I know I did the wrong thing. I'm trying to improve myself for the better. I'd like to be able to trust and to be a better person in general. I feel incredibly guilty. I've asked for antidepressants too but my GP says i've made enough progress to not need them. I know i'm not perfect and that my decisions were stupid. However I am trying to be a better person. I really tried before but I was in a very dark shit place.
Please, someone offer some advice. I need to be a better person. For myself. For my baby. For my family's sake or for the fathers sake. I don't know my future. I am terrified and tbh the hormones are not helping.
She needs a good mother.
Please, all advice much appreciated ❤️

Hi so before I get into this I wanna say do not privately message me on this matter. I'm 14F and my relationship with food has been broken slowly since 4th grade. In 4th grade I didn't think I was pretty, I never smiled in photos and I just felt worthless. Compared to other girls in my class they were all pretty, wore dresses and smiled. They were popular, I felt like I needed to pick up on that but when I looked down at my stomach I started to think I was fat.
To "resolve" this issue I started eating a lot one day then barely eat the next and this continued up for about two weeks before I stopped because I simply couldn't do it anymore. In 5th grade COVID happened and so I relied on the Internet for a lot of things, I've also gotten a boyfriend around the same time and we were fine but the relationship was one sided.
He ended up cheating on me with someone else in our friend group and I was "fine" with them dating but on the inside I wasn't. I'd see them act lovely dovey in our group chat and so eventually I distanced myself. Something happened and I eventually left because on the daily the older people in that friend group continued to ask me NSFW things like draw feet of the character I had and also drew NSFW of my character without my consent or knowledge.
I was really uncomfortable with this and they were all racist, I didn't realize this at all until I left and when I did they started harassing me. They harassed me all summer and on my birthday I just cried and stress ate while on the phone with my best friend at the time. They continued to harass me until I finally gave in so they'd leave me alone.
The friend group broke again and I actually did not care this time however, online school eventually started. (We are not together anymore) I get into a lot of heated arguments and whenever it did genuinely affect me I would stress eat as a way to cope. I was failing all of my classes and no matter what I did I never got my grades up. Online class was terrible and a lot of the time I would join the call but play Roblox or sleep, or I simply would not show up with an excuse. I was held back in the call a lot of times discussing my teacher about specific concerns.
I eventually went back to in person school but it simply just wasnt any better, my old hag of a teacher would tell the entire class i was failing and would make a remark about it trying to be funny. I always never went to school or found a way to skip into going, I would just do the work at home. My grades never improved no matter how much work I did so I just gave up. I graduated but barely. Note, all of my elementary teachers completely quit after COVID.
Anyways, 6th grade started and since I stress ate whenever I was stressed that's all I did. Eat, eat, eat, my mom started to pick up on this and instead of helping me make better choices she would say things to put me down like telling people I waddle, I looked like a pig, called me fatty, etc. I eventually became insecure and cried about it a lot. I continued eating disregarding what she said however, deep down it just hurt. I started going to the doctor and I was 160 at 11.
I wasnt really concerned about it but I was insecure about my stomach. No else said anything about it so I never worried until 7th, I got bigger and eventually became 200. 7th grade was a really hard time for me, I didn't have any friends until nearly October and there was people bullying me for my acne scars calling it chicken pox. I also felt like a complete outcast and thought there wasn't a point in coming to school. I had also made some bad friends who controlled my life, I was always stressed out with them too so a way to cope with it again I ate.
I'm in 8th grade and I'm the worst I've ever been, those bad friends that I made I eventually left and taken care of my myself. I broke the habit of stress eating but nowadays I just eat whenever I'm bored. I've taken care of my acne, trying to refix my hair, I'm overall trying to glow up but I don't know what to do with my body. I've started eating less, I was never taught self control so I'm trying to get into that habit now. I'm drinking more water but I want to get help.
My mom has gotten used to me being fat and hasn't made any nasty remarks about it since I was 11/12. When I complain about my feet cramping she just says it's because I'm fat which I don't really disagree with. I've already gotten advice on how to lose weight and fix my relationship with food but I fear I might already have an eating disorder. Overeating.
Not to mention I believe I also have ADHD, I have a lot of symptoms like not being able to pay attention to things for a long period time or making eye contact well, I struggle with receiving information about things, I procrastinate a lot, I struggle to control my emotions sometimes, I space out A LOT and it actually is a problem when it comes to school. I get sidetracked a lot of the times, there's a lot I can go on about but just know my mom will not get tested and I do not want any medicine for it if I actually have it.
I sometimes can't tell when I'm full so I'll continue to eat a lot of food in big bulks, I skip breakfast a lot and just go straight to lunch, by dinner time I've eaten a bunch of snacks but I'll finish my plate. What should I do and how should I go about seeking professional help?

I (32F) have been feeling tired and run down. I had a full blood test done, I checked my results online and the only normal things are Heamoglobin and blood count.
The following are “abnormal” and I need to speak to a doctor. (Currently trying to get an appointment)
Liver function Plasma C reactive protein Serum lipid Urea and electrolytes Thyroid function Bone profile Serum folate Serum ferritin Serum vitamin B12 Serum Total Protein Serum vitamin D
What on earth? I’ve googled and I’m frightened I have an autoimmune disease or worse… any input appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi! I've been wanting to vent out about this before but I just didn't know how to start and where to start. I've been carrying this burden in my heart for quite awhile now. This is regarding our Pastor. To start, I just want to say that he is a good person. Knowing him from the time we moved here in the province four years ago. he is indeed a good man. I remember the time he was dreaming to have a big online platform. I was there when he was just starting four years ago. I was the one who managed and organized his facebook page and his youtube account. I was the one who edit his videos and photos early on. He gave me money few times in exchange of my service but most times, I was doing it for free. Honestly, I didn't mind doing it for free because I love doing something for the ministry.. for God.. for Jesus Christ. I was a very active young people in the church back in the days when we were still living in the city. It has indeed become my lifestyle even after we moved here in the province. You know, I've noticed something about him. The things that he wanted me to edit, it's like the branding was focused most about him. God's word second. Like for instance, he wanted every thumbnails his face is in it. For the photos with bible verses, he always wanted to have his photos included. I was able to keep it to myself for such a long time, eventually I grew tired helping him. I've lost my motivation to edit because in my heart, something wasn't right.
Fast forward, I stopped from doing it. But I was entrusted to do another assignment at church, I was assigned to do the projector during service. I'm not complaining about my task. I always love doing things for God. Going back to our pastor's platform. He is getting close to having 100k followers on his FB page now, but a lot of people are bashing him because according to them, he doesn't practice what he preaches. He is very worldly for a pastor. His videos speak volumes. Also, he is becoming toxic in dealing with people in the comment section. He would lashed out at every people who were trying to rebuke him in a loving way. It's like to him, they're always against him and he is always right and as if there's nothing wrong in what he does. For me, it's sad and heartbreaking. It's like he values his fame now more than God. It's like he would be okay to do bad publicity to become more famous. Bad publicity is still a publicity. His page will still has engagement from it regardless. More engagements means more revenue.
Actually, he believes in a hypergrace teaching and that's what he teaches in the church. One day, I've made a decision that I would temporarily stop going to that church because I want to grow more in faith and in God's grace even if it entails that I have to be alone in the wildnerness. I wasn't growing there. There was no discipleship.. the praise and worship was taken for granted.. there was no bible study.. there was no spiritual accountable partners. Basically, just going to church every Sunday and come out from the service just like nothing happened. I don't want that. I told him that I would stop going to church temporarily and come back soon but all the more I don't want to go there anymore. I want a leader who can rightly lead me, not blindly lead me. Just right now, he is viral because last Sunday after the service, they recorded a video of them dancing to a secular song inside the church. A lot of Christians were disappointed and upset. But as for him, he is boasting about in his facebook account. It's heartbreaking to see how fame and the greed for fame can change a person. Actually, after he got monetized and received his pay, he kicked me out of his page already without telling me that he would do it. But when he was first starting it, he told me he would make me an admin. I understand that it was his page but it's sad on my part that when was just starting, he told me that he would involve me but when he's becoming famous, he just kicked me out without notice. if you were in my shoe, do you think it's reasonable for me to stop going to that church? Probably some of you would suggest for me to find another church, but after what happened, for now, I just want to stay home and listen to preachings online.

i'm 28, male, 178cm, 108kg at 23% body fat. i've been working out consistently for the last year, and have been going to the gym regularly since february started, before that i had some serious injuries that took me out of sports for nearly a decade, so i've been trying to be careful and build myself back up properly.
i haven't practiced many of the lifts in strongman, from what i can test in a commercial gym, i'm starting at around 100kg squat (did 110 but it was ugly as hell) 60kg clean and press, and 170kg deadlift with straps, 120kg without straps. i can leg press 400kg for 4 reps, so i think with proper form i can get those numbers up quickly.
my questions are, are there any free training guides out there detailing good programs for starting out in strongman? how important is it to train in a real strongman gym? could i have a future in the sport, despite my height?

Performance
Performance is a critical factor to consider when choosing a web host, as it directly impacts your website's speed, reliability, and user experience. In this regard, Hostinger has a slight edge over HostGator.

I know my bf online and we have been dating online for 10 months. We are both Chinese but I have been studying in china but he went to abroad to study since high school. i.e. Canada. Everything goes well and we are like forsaken soulmates that have been forced to be apart for a long time. For the past 10 months we really get along very well and its my first love. But there are some problems recently arising.
First He had ONS experience although only once. I was raised in a region of china where everyone is conservative about sex. Many girls even think that they should leave their virgin to their husbands so the sex before marriage is prohibited. My family is also conservative. But I think I have an open mind genetically. In the past I think I can accept sex before marriage or casual sex but only when it really came to me I found that it’s not easy to change an opinion that you have been long exposed to. In china I think the society is experiencing the transformation of values after you know the fast development of economy in the past 30 years. So there is a mixture of the open and conservative opinions about sex and I always thought I will be in the open crowd. But actually I am a virgin. And it’s actually hard for me to accept he had sex experience. Although I know he study abroad and it’s more open abroad I still find it hard to accept all of this. I think it’s because the culture and for me rationally I am pro that he had sex because it’s normal. I am always sick of the old Chinese conservative opinions because I think it’s suppressing the nature. I know it’s normal in the western world. Can anyone come to comfort me about this and help me to accept this normal behavior in the western world. And I am also going to study in the U.S.
The first thing has damaged our relationship a little(or much). But recently the second problem came. He is one year before graduation and just finished his final tests 2 weeks ago. He said he got pressure to land an internship and is anxious sometimes. So he cut down on the frequency of texting to me. More of the time maybe he is playing video games. Because I found that he suddenly became less into our relationship I feel insecure. And 2 weeks later I now found myself also not madly in love. But instead I just feel more sober and calm when talking to him. I am fearful of this situation. I talk to him why he is like this and he said sorry to me and said he is anxious and said he will change. But I just think the feelings of our relationship has changed.
Can someone give me advice on how to cope with this situation?

Hi, I am developing a healthcare app that is divided into 2 parts: one about medical adherence and the other to detect user anxiety/stress. I wanted to do this by getting raw ppg data; however, I find it quite tricky... has anyone collected this before? I am looking for a general solution that works for wearOS in general, but I know it might be hard.
For testing, I am using Samsung Galaxy Watch 4: I have tried different sensors, but the one that seems to be the key is the "Samsung HR Raw Sensor", which has as output an array of 16 values; however, I have not found any specification about it online...
Any help would be appreciated!

For the past 6 months, I have been working towards getting 1500+. I exhausted Khan Academy, Erica Meltzer's Reading, and even SAT question bank. I took every practice test on Bluebook and I got 1280 (630rw, 650 math) on the last one (1410 as superscore). What can I do to achieve my desired score?

I've been a loyal Codecademy user, always revisiting it every "I'm finally gonna sit down and learn HTML and definitely not forget it two seconds later" cycle throughout the years. Most recently however, there's been a change in my tune (I'm now a CompSci victim student and actually had to crack down and learn my languages with a purpose) and have been learning C++ at school.
Just this last week I've been trying to brush up on and review everything I've learned over the last year with Codecademy's C++ course and have unfortunately found myself running into an issue where, say I use 'using namespace std' to cut down on std::'s in my code or I slip in an endl instead of \n, even if my code gets the exact result that we're sought after, mine is wrong, and I can't move onto the next step until I copy their solution word for word, bar for bar. Can't lil buddy pre-made course guide just let me be? Feels like those memes of online tests with automated marking that knock your grade down because you put a space after your answer or didn't make the first letter of your answer uppercase...

I woke up to a call from dsl saying my parcel delivery was cancelled . This was an automated call. Then it said to press 1 to speak to a customer care executive. I talked to the guy and he said my parcel was cancelled due to illegal content(drug) and if I didn't do it then I have to lodge a complaint to Mumbai police and forwarded my call to another number. lol it even said Mumbai police while I was waiting. Then this new guy asked me all the detail about where I live and where have I given my Adhar details etc. Before giving any personal information I thought this maybe some elaborate scam so I asked him if he was the police and he immediately interrupted me and started asking more questions. So i gave him all the answers. It seemed odd but i still thought this might be true. Then he told me I have to lodge an online complaint and to do that I have to download Skype and search Mumbaipolice663something on Skype and then send them my name and wait for a video call. Then after like 10 min video call came from the Skype from them and asked me to open my camera and asked all the detail about my Adhar and all my address and I gave them to her. She even asked me to hold my Adhar in front of camera to 'verify', so I did. Then she said i am waiting from an update from headquarters regarding your Adhar detail please wait. Now this girl was speaking in perfect English and said she was ips and every time she would speak she would unmute herself then mute again. This happened several times and it bugged me. Then she was talking about my family and suddenly said, "wait stop there is an update from headquarters" and then in the background this voice came from like a radio or something. This time she didn't mute this time so that I can hear what the radio guy said. The radio guy said that I am a big and dangerous criminal and I have multiple cases of drug distribution and money laundering cases and that I should be arrested immediately. That moment right then I understood it was all fake. Then the girl from the call started her police talk iykyk. I tried to give some explanation but she was in her police mode and was very fake furious. When she wouldn't listen anything i started laughing almost like a villain lol. I told them, "You guys made me such a genius. I am a drug distributor as well as money launderer. I am like the one man army lol. Like some movie hero or something". Then the girl was so furious it was comical lmao she started saying this isn't a joke that I should live in fear and they contacted my local police Dept. To arrest me and my family members. At this point I had enough of it and I told her she needs more practice and find something else to do and disconnected the call. So my question to all of you guys is what can they do with my personal information??

Hey Guys,
First time poster here on Reddit so go easy on me. As the title suggests I’m just trying to find out (from people who have taught or done the course) what areas you study in a Cert 4 in Mental Health. Looking around via Google anytime I type that in I just get the course summaries via TAFE or another RTO showing the outline of the course and structure but I’m more curious to know what it is you’re actually studying. I work as an Admin officer in a Drug and Alcohol/ mental health unit and find the things I see and hear fascinating so it’s got me onto this course. I also am eligible for the TAFE FREE study which is another reason I am looking to check it out. It’s been a long time since I have been to school and studied so figure if I can use a FREE grant to see if I like it then I can always do a BA or something later down the track.
I am not eligible for HECS due to my being a PR but have done the citizenship test and passed so just waiting for my next step.
Any advice you can give would be very much appreciated. I am studying fully online as well due to my work/ family commitments so anything you would recommend about that type of study is great as well.
Thanks for listening.

I'm a 21 year old first year mechanic, my only experience being 4 months of uncompleted trade school. My interest in the army reserves first began over a year ago when I was facing an extended unemployment period and I was shit poor. I still am since my pay is shit and I can pretty much only afford to eat after bills, including tool debt. I am closing in on the 1 year requirement to take the ASE G1 certification test and once I get the cert I plan on discussing a raise or finding better pay elsewhere. I'm now considering the reserves once again in order to gain more experience, knowledge and to use it as a second source of income. A while back I took an asvab practice test with a recruiter and I scored an 85 on the general technical so I know that job is in reach for me. Is there anything i should know before making a decision? Isthere any required experience/knowledge? Is it worth it since half my reason for joining is financial gain?

*Project Idea: Movie Recommendation System*
*Overview:*
Create a movie recommendation system that suggests movies to users based on their preferences and historical data. This project will involve implementing complex algorithms for data processing, similarity scoring, and recommendation generation, making it a great opportunity to practice DSA concepts. You'll use GoLang for backend development and possibly front-end technologies like HTML/CSS/JavaScript for the user interface.
*Key Features:*
1.⁠ ⁠*User Authentication:* Implement user authentication to allow users to create accounts and log in securely.
2.⁠ ⁠*Data Collection:* Gather movie data from public APIs or datasets. This could include movie titles, genres, ratings, and user preferences.
3.⁠ ⁠*Data Preprocessing:* Clean and preprocess the data to remove duplicates, handle missing values, and normalize data for consistency.
4.⁠ ⁠*Similarity Scoring:* Implement algorithms such as cosine similarity or collaborative filtering to calculate similarity scores between users or movies.
5.⁠ ⁠*Recommendation Engine:* Develop the core recommendation engine that generates personalized movie recommendations for users based on their preferences and similarities with other users.
6.⁠ ⁠*User Interface:* Create a simple web interface where users can log in, input their movie preferences, and view personalized recommendations.
7.⁠ ⁠*Testing and Optimization:* Test the system with various datasets and fine-tune algorithms for optimal performance and accuracy.
*DSA Concepts Covered:*
•⁠ ⁠*Graph Algorithms:* You can model user-movie relationships as a graph and utilize graph algorithms like breadth-first search (BFS) or depth-first search (DFS) for recommendation generation.
•⁠ ⁠*Sorting and Searching:* Implement sorting algorithms to rank movies based on similarity scores or user ratings. Use binary search for efficient data retrieval.
•⁠ ⁠*Hashing:* Utilize hash functions for efficient data storage and retrieval, particularly for user profiles and movie metadata.
•⁠ ⁠*Dynamic Programming:* Optimize algorithms for recommendation generation using dynamic programming techniques to improve efficiency and scalability.
*Learning Goals:*
•⁠ ⁠Gain proficiency in GoLang by implementing backend logic for data processing, recommendation algorithms, and user authentication.
•⁠ ⁠Understand and implement complex DSA concepts such as graph algorithms, sorting, searching, hashing, and dynamic programming in a real-world project setting.
•⁠ ⁠Learn about web development concepts by building a simple user interface for the recommendation system using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

I just started studying for the ucat 4 days ago and u started by doing a mock exam to test my beginner abilities and my test score was kinda horrible: VR:480 DM:450 QR:520 AR630
So I started by studying one section each day and doing a full timed practice for the section that I studied however the score did not really change on the specific section. I don’t know if my way of studying is correct or not and I don’t know if it’s normal to not progress in the first days of studying and I really need to get at least 2600. So I would really appreciate if someone would help or give an advice.

I am an 18 yr old broke college student who just found out shes pregnant. My parents have money but I under no circumstances can go to them for help with this. As I am about 5 weeks pregnant, I will be able to order pills online, but most providers are very expensive (around/at least 200 dollars) and the ones that are less expensive (still steep at 150 dollars) I’m worried are a scam. In addition to this, I have an obgyn appointment where my mom will be in the room on june 25 and im worried that even if I end the pregnancy now, there will be signs of it still when I have my obgyn appointment and my mom will find out. I’m also getting bloodwork done at that appointment to test for a hormone imbalance and am worried that that will reveal something or that getting the abortion will screw up my chances of finding out if I have a hormone imbalance. Overall I just need advice, I’m really freaking out. I know I don’t have the funds for this so idk what to do.
