Hi,
Any idea what to do when I wake up after 4-5 hours when I really need 8 hours of sleep?
I wake up and take Xanax to sleep again. The alternative is not to take it and be absolutely horrible burned out and non functional within the day.
I obviously have a history with sleeping issues. But in the last 10 years it’s much worse. At first I was having trouble falling asleep but when I did, I slept fine. The last 10 years that changed and I now wake up way too early.
:(

Ever since my partner (M 25) and I (F 25) have started dating, his parents have been disrespectful to both of us. My partner and I live apart from them but whenever we would visit, they will take that opportunity to give us interventions and have long serious talks with us about what they don’t like. Recently they flew here to attend my partner’s graduation ceremony and they were staying for 5 days. My partner and I had to completely clear our schedules for that week to spend time with them. Throughout the week, I was not only disrespected by his parents, my presence was basically not acknowledged. His mother would talk over me and only speak to his son even though I was right there in front of her. Especially meal times when she would go “What do you want to eat son, order whatever you want to eat.”. Or when we would go shopping, she would go up to my partner and say “Pick whatever you want, I’ll buy it for you.”. The worst part of it all is at the end of the day when we would part ways. She would hug her son and say goodbye and not say a word to me. Only when I say bye to her first, she would merely look back while walking away and utter softly “bye”. That’s not it. His parents are somewhat devoted Christians while I’m not religious. My partner is nowhere as devoted but still a Christian. His mom would take the opportunity to bring religion up whenever she could. In a condescending tone she would ask “So how many times did you visit the church?”. “So are you going to go?” This has always been a difficult and uncomfortable topic for me, even though I do go with my partner at times. His dad on the other hand, is no different. In front of me he would act all nice but as soon as it was the end of their 5-day trip here, he went guns blazing. I’ll start with the first morning they were here. His mom went to the bathroom when we were having breakfast and he suddenly said “Just a piece of advice, do not speak to my son separately. We should be able hear everything you say and talk about so we don’t feel left out.”. Immediately I’m thinking, “Oh so I can’t even converse with my own partner normally when we’re hanging out with you guys.”. Going back to the end of the 5-day trip, he would make use of the group chat that we created during the trip to start nitpicking things and saying what he didn’t like about me during the trip. “We are your elders. Respect begets respect.”. First of all, I have been nothing but respectful to them throughout the entire trip even though they treat me otherwise. Even after all that they have said to me and how much they’ve expressed their dislike and how much they intimidate me, I will still respect them because they are my partner’s parents after all. But both his parents texted and said that I did not respect them at all. And when my partner asked him to clarify on what specific occasion did she disrespect you, he replied “Her body language...”. Maybe he was relating to my body language in which I was feeling scared and intimidated the whole trip. But if not, I had no recollection of being disrespectful. And to top things off, he is currently asking my partner to pull up all of his bank statements and telling my partner to write down all expenses for him to dictate whether I have been “leeching” off of my partner. My partner and I have always been sharing our expenses equally. So this is what we are currently dealing with. Any advice on how to deal with toxic in-laws/parents? My partner and I are being pushed to our limits. Even his own mom told him “I do not respect you.”.

Hyphonix, you’ve built quite the following online. People love your streams and videos. You have this incredible talent for making people laugh, often at your own expense. It’s impressive how you can turn anything into content—who knew that screaming at your computer could become a career?
Now, let’s talk about that hair—or rather, the lack of it. I mean, you’re so bald, even a bowling ball would be jealous of that shine. Your head is so smooth, I’m pretty sure you could use it as a mirror to fix your mustache.
Speaking of the mustache, it’s quite the statement. It’s like you couldn’t decide between looking like a 70s detective or a silent film villain, so you went with both. But hey, it’s iconic. If you ever lose your internet fame, you could always try out for the next Mario movie.
And let’s not forget the legendary content of you raging at games. Watching you get worked up over pixels is a treat. You have this unique ability to turn every game into a horror game, just by your reactions alone. It's no wonder people tune in just to see you lose your cool. I’ve seen fewer meltdowns in a candle factory!
But in all seriousness, Hyphonix, we’re all here because we admire you. You’ve brought joy and laughter to so many people, and you’ve built a community that loves you for who you are—crazy outbursts and all. Your dedication and passion for what you do are truly inspiring.
May your streams be ever chaotic, your rants ever hilarious, and your head ever shiny. Cheers!

Two days ago I began filming a commercial for a large ophthalmology clinic. About twenty minutes after being on campus I started having symptoms of a detached retina in my right eye. A slight sparkling, mirror-esque water like cluster in my periphery. Any thoughts? I think it’s so strange that my symptom literally began once I was there, on site. .

Hello everyone, as I announced in a recent post, I'll tell you about my experience of playing a chess tournament while I was fasting.
Last Sunday I finished a 7-round (4 days) over-the-board chess tournament (long time control: 90 mins per player per game + 15 mins after 40 moves + 30 s increment for each move from the beginning) and an 8-days water fast. So, the tournament took place on days 5-8 of the water fast.
During the fast I supplemented electrolytes, added magnesium glycinate (helped with hunger and cravings), b-vitamins and vitamin d + vitamin k2. I drank approximately 2.5-3 liters of water each day and one cup of black coffee on two of the days each.
In the tournament I scored 5/7 with four wins, two draws and one loss. This was an okay result considering my playing strength and the strength of my opponents. It was just slightly below the expectation, but in a totally normal range.
Probably more important is the course of the games and how I felt while playing. The fasting didn't show any direct adverse effects (except for the usual watery stool), so I did not feel distracted by the fast. I felt rather relaxed most of the time and had no issues with pressure or concentration. I felt slightly tired, but that could have been caused by a lack of sleep (caused by a baby).
I sometimes had the impression that my thinking was a bit slower than usual and slightly less focused. But that was not worse than what's possible while eating. Also, it seemed like my memory of my opening preparation was slightly worse than normal. Still nothing out of the ordinary.
So, as a result I'd say that fasting did neither have a strong negative nor a strong positive impact on my chess performance. This came to me as a surprise because I thought it would change at least something significantly. For me this is a positive outcome as it shows that I can perform well in demanding cognitive tasks during fasts. I'll probably try this again in a few months.
I am a male in my mid-30s, BMI ~30, 5'10", 210 lbs. Lost about 7 lbs during the fast.

(18F/65.5kg/163cm) I have had chronic pain and fatigue for 2 years with no answers, at first I focused on it too much and wouldn’t stop googling but recently I have been just giving up and trying to push through it every day. Recently I have been getting these symptoms that are concerning to me: Worsening blurry/cloudy vision, constant bad headaches, ear discomfort, random jolts of stinging pain, aggression, shoulder and back pain, clear fluid leaking out of left nostril, decreased libido, visible veins in palms, face pain. I also have persistent chest and rib cage pain + discomfort but I don’t think it’s related. I feel like I’m getting confused and it’s so hard to do daily activities like cleaning and walking. I’m scared of seeing a doctor as I’ve just been ridiculed in the past, but if I really need to see one I will. I feel like my life is slipping away and I have no one to go to.

Feeling shit from constant rejection, making me think dating is pure luck.
I posted this as a comment in a previous post, but would love some advice from the 3% community, especially dudes who were in my situation. I would like some help. For context, I'm 21 , still going to college and read his book 5 times.
I've been doing this for 1.5 years with no results. I managed to make great friends who truly care about me, got an internship with a company who values my time, managed to become fit (until COVID hit), and I'm not too afraid to hit on girls or talk to people in general (couldn't even talk to people on the phone back in the day). Out of the 21 girls I asked out who matched my list, I got rejected by all of them, it hurts.
It hurts when you see guys who don't know any of this material, are looks challenged, managed to get girls who looks wise match the perfect girl on my list. I'm not ugly, I've been told that I'm decent looking in looks, especially when I was fit. The only draw back I can think of is that I'm Indian origin living in a white country (NZ), (lived here 20 yrs now) but I'm not insecure of my race at all.
I texted this girl who seemed very receptive and laughed at all my jokes this past week. Showed signs of attractions, talked a lot when I asked her questions, and showed no resistance when I asked for her number. She never texted back. Shit broke me. This situation happens to all the previous girls I've asked out before, very receptive (flirting, ask questions, smiling) but never make it to a first date (usually they're taken).
I tried to use dating apps and I got no likes or anything. Bought premium, took good pictures, expanded my preferences, still got nothing. I have friends who have worse profiles than me, don't know anything of the material Corey teaches, and they managed to get dates with some cute girls. They also managed to finally end their dry spell after many years, I'm proud for my boys, but it irks me that I try so hard, but got zero results.
I know dating is a numbers game, but it hurts knowing that I read all this material, improved everywhere in my life, but still haven't gotten a date in these past 3 years. The last girl I dated was pure luck, she matched what I liked at the time, was the first girl I asked out, and managed to date her for a year. I would think with all the knowledge and improvement I got, I should have an easier chance to get dates, but nothing ever came up. This just makes me believe dating is just pure luck, if you don't have luck in there, it's gonna be rough. I don't think guys my age put as much effort as I did, and they managed to get the type of women they like.
When it comes to class, I have only a little fear to sit next to the pretty girls, talk to them, and ask for their number. When it comes to asking for the date, that's where it ends, either they're not interested or have a boyfriend (they actually do on their socials so not lying). It hurts that I can never pass that part and manage to get a first date.
I know attraction is a choice, no matter what I do, girls will either like me or not. But doesn't this just show me that dating is just luck? That I have be to lucky to find a woman who actually likes me?
I'm thinking of getting therapy to help me mentally, I have been feeling shit about this. Sorry if this sounds negative. I will still continue to follow Corey's advice and help others who need help in their dating life. I would like some advice to my conundrum.

Is my (24M) girlfriend (26F) cheating on me, or am I just crazy?
A week ago, my girlfriend came over after work for a planned get together. We’ve been doing some relationship counseling (no major issue, just kind of trying to best support each other’s needs given our intent to get engaged in the next 12 months). In the context of that, she teared up a bit and proceeded to profusely apologize for the times she feels that she has been quick to temper with me, and thanked me for the times I stayed cool headed and did not. This is not too out of ordinary for her - but I thought the timing weird considering the counseling session was a week prior
After kissing her a few times I smelled a faint scent of latex on her breath. After getting close a few more times to see if I was really smelling it, I mentioned “are you wearing a new makeup? I get a faint smell of like a rubber glove.” She kept a super straight face but instant rush of blushing that I could see through her makeup. She played it off and was confused, made a small joke about it.
Through the rest of the night, she behaved normally with no flags - until I started thinking more - and I’m wondering if I’ve found puzzle pieces or just connecting unrelated dots. Those are:
We had sex - she performed oral, which is not super common for her
There was a one hour gap in our texts that same day towards the end of the work day - very out of character for her especially while at work
Similar to above, mentioned many times that I treat her “too well” and I “don’t deserve her”
Serious one I’ll try to summarize: last few months, a new male boss entered the scene with whom she seems to constantly be talking about - helping with her career growth, mentorship, traveling to conferences and networking over drinks (solo), talking relationship tips and travel, leaning on him regarding work related/promotion related drama. I brought up that she should be careful around him. She mentions “he’s married and loves his family,” laughs it off and gets mildly irritated and say there’s nothing to worry about.
Generally she seems to be in a super good mood all day that day (even before the one hour gap - but still more than usual) and overly grateful to me - almost like a sense of regret.
TLDR: my (24M) girlfriend’s (26F) breath smelled faintly like condom, acting differently and overly grateful for our relationship. Am I noticing things, or am I off base?

Hi all I plan to travel to Canada this August. My F-1 student visa expired in 2020 and before that I got an OPT and then OPT STEM extension. I used 1 year of OPT STEM extension and got H1B approval letter. The H1B approval letter is from Oct 2022 to Sep 2025. I do not have a H1B visa stamp.
Can I go to Canada to attend a wedding for 4 days and then come back to U.S. without having to get a H1B visa stamp since my lawyer said I should get it from my home country? Thanks!

I (21F) have a tattoo appointment scheduled day after tomorrow, it is my first tattoo so I'm new to all this.
However, I have been experiencing some gum pain for a couple days, went to my dentist today, its apparently a distal pocket and I have to take antibiotics (amoxicillin) for a week.
Is it ok to get this tattoo still? I don't feel ill, and I'm not post-surgery or anything. It's just a spot of weird gum pain. The artist said it should be fine (the tattoo will be on my leg, and black ink only, no color) but to confirm with my dentist just in case. I'm a bit hesitant to call my actual dentist office (my parents also see the same dentist, so I don't want to risk something accidentally being let slip somehow and they find out about the tattoo lol. A bit paranoid? Maybe 😅) so I figured I'd try asking here if anyone has advice (and will also ask the health professional(s) I know irl tomorrow)

My neighbors recently got a puppy, maybe a couple months old, but it looks like my neighbor is not taking care of them at all. They’ve just tied it up on a very short rope, it can barely take more than 4 steps toward a direction. They also gave it a small plastic bowl of food, and just left it tied up for at least five days. I haven’t seen them feed it anymore food after it finished its first bowl though, I haven’t even seen them give it water, just a spray bottle filled with water? I have 2 dogs so it really upsets me to watch them treat a poor puppy like this. I can hear it crying pretty much all day. From morning to night. I can see my neighbors outside watering their plants, while the dog barks and cry’s at them, but it’s like the dogs not even there. I’ve been thinking about sneaking over, cutting him free, and giving him it food and water. I feel like I need to help it, I feel so bad. Is there anything I can do?

i’ve had agoraphobia for 4 years now and I was housebound for 2 years. i’ve been in VERY slow recovery for 2 years now. like most of us, i haven’t been to a dentist in forever. two months ago i went in for a checkup because my gums would bleed all the time and found out i needed $9,000 worth of work done. had a panic attack during that visit but that’s not surprising.
anyways today i had my first filling appointment. it’s been booked for over a month and when i tell you i have thought about it every single day since i booked it im not exaggerating. my momma took me (bless her, im in my thirties and still need my mom) .. she came in with me and held my hand the entire time. i had 5 needles, sat in for 10 minutes before the procedure and threw up, had a panic attack. and then you know what i did? i laid back down and got two teeth filled! i fucking did it!! i just kept telling myself the more you put this off the worse it’s going to get. and i got through it.
i have never been so proud of myself. two years ago i couldn’t step out my front door. i would cry myself to sleep thinking i’d never watch my son play baseball, or see the ocean again. and now i have left the house, and got dental work done?!
believe in yourself people. you are so much stronger than you think . 🥹❤️

…okay, so after going through acute appendicitis and an emergency appendectomy while I had COVID in January of 2022, less than six months after giving birth to our youngest, I’m now nursing my husband in bed after he just got done vomiting pretty much everything he’s eaten today. He’s been suffering from increasingly worse abdominal pains for the last seven hours or so.
I’ve seen the man doubled over with gas pains (which is what he was originally thinking this was,) so I know his pain tolerance isn’t super high, but the locale of the pain he is suffering right now, plus the vomiting nearly 7 hours in, coupled with the fact that he does feel warm to the touch in the lower right quadrant of his abdomen and forehead (even though he is not complaining of pain on the right side yet, just a generalized central pain deep in his abdomen about 3 to 4 inches above his belly button,) is all, in truth, freaking me the fuck out. In five years I’ve never seen him like this.
Problem is, the ED nearest us would be lucky to have him triaged and tests ordered within a 6 to 8 hour window, I’m scheduled to work second shift tomorrow, I’ve already had to take a ton of time off due to literally every other emergency that could happen (I’m dealing with an ovarian cyst large enough to warrant surgery, I had to take an entire day to fix the tag on our only vehicle, the grapefruit on my ovary comes with a host of debilitating side effects that have me in and out of the office right now, and I’m literally six months into this new phase of my career. At the end of the day, I don’t care if it’s not a good look if I have to request PTO to take him in, but we don’t have anybody close enough to us to watch the baby and I don’t really feel that an emergency department is an appropriate setting for her right now, co-pay is through the roof…you get the idea.
So I guess I’m asking this: at the time of this post, it’s been about 30 minutes since he’s vomited, it was just the one instance so far, he says he doesn’t feel the ‘stabbing’ pain anymore, just pressure, but he’s snuggled up to me and is quite warm now, like bordering on feverish, and when I push on his abdomen, the warmth/pressure/deep pain behind and above his belly button (only when I push right now,) is just really worrying me. Enough to ask internet strangers if I should take him in. Might he have the beginning stages of appendicitis?
I tried calling the back of his insurance card several hours ago - they used to have a 24 hour nurse helpline where they would give limited medical advice, but it was better than nothing, however, this time I got a customer service rep, so I figured I would ask where they would give limited medical advice, but it was better than nothing, however, this time I got a customer service rep, so I figured I would ask the fine citizens here on Reddit. Worth the trip? I’m down for a paid day off, not so down for subjecting my family to a nasty ED waiting room for 8-12 hours if it’s NOT appendicitis.
He wants to get some rest right now; it’s just after 11 PM my time and truthfully, I’m working a combination of first, second, and third shift(s) with a maximum of seven hour “breaks” in between and we’re all exhausted. Should I let him sleep a little and assess when he wakes, or should I not even take the chance?

My MIL just sent me this description and I know for sure I’ve heard of this case and seen the picture I just can’t think of the name either! “They meet in a location.. but not with family.. just the 2 of them. The man treats the lady like a queen.. spa, hair, nails, literally one of the best days of her life... one of the greatest days she has and will ever have. Then the night before the wedding he kills her. None of the women's families know the man's name.. and no one has a picture. The only thing that they have figured out so far.. is the guy has a specific tattoo on his upper right arm.. It's a side pic of him in swim trunks .. looking left arms crossed.. on the beach .. and you can see the ocean too.. They know that this person has done this multiple times.. I don't know if I saw it on dateline.. or 48 hours.. or where.. I have searched and searched last night and today.. I can't find the pic or even the description.. But.. if I remember correctly.. the kills are of American women on foreign grounds. “
Any help would be amazing, thank you!

I’m happy to provide more details if needed but will try to make it as short as possible. I (41 F) began to have some neurological symptoms last year which were getting worse, more frequent, longer lasting etc. Went to a local doctor over a few visits who ran test to start ruling things out like lupus rheumatoid arthritis etc. all normal. Symptoms getting worse now every day, I’m talking loss of bladder control, vision blurred some days, shaking legs, numbness in hands and feet and so much more. Dr says could be ms let’s order an MRI and referral to neurologist. Great MRI like 6 weeks later and neurologist October. Before MRI go to ER as directed by my dr due to other concerning factors. ER dr says sounds like MS you need to see a neurologist to which I say I am in October. ER dr ran ct scans all normal. Go get the MRI and earlier neurologist appointment. This is where ish gets wild. So happy but nervous to finally maybe get some answers. At apt I’m unwell my legs are shaking I’m emotional I’m sure not looking great with hollow eyes etc. nurse asks if I’m depressed to which I say sometimes yes it’s so bad and no one can tell me anything and it getting worse and who wouldn’t get depressed. Finally see the dr still visibly upset and emotional. Neurologist (70 w male) looks at my scans says nothing wrong asks if I’m depressed I say the same as above. He says I think we need to get your emotional state more stable which can help the physical symptoms and would I be ok to go next door to the hospital for a psych evaluation while he works on the medical side to see about additional testing. I say ok and he walks me into the er saying normally this stake 6 weeks to happen but he walks me there and talks to the staff he knows they would get it done today. Ok cool I’m about fast now as I’ve been waiting over a year. They admit me and have me put on a gown, weird but whatever. They come to put in an iv and I say hold up why do I need an iv I’m just getting an evaluation. Staring silence and then oh um I’m not sure going to have to check. Hours later ER doc aka which dr walked me in for this so I relay the neurologist name and he said oh Dr so and so is heavy handed with walking his patients down to try and get them admitted to psychiatric and then says they’re trying to decide if they’re moving me to the psych floor . EXCUSE ME WHAT? I’m dumbfounded and irritated. He says I can stay in er until psychiatrist can come down to see me. Four hours later he does tries to prescribe all these anti psychotic and depression medications blah blah. I talk my way via letting him know I’m pro therapy went for years. All the different modalities emdr blah blah. He says because I’m agreeing to fill the mirtazapine and outpatient therapy I can go. Then looks at the computer and says huh did you know your vitamin b12 is dangerously low and says they’re giving me an injection of b12 before discharging me. I get the shot and leave. Not 45 MINUTES later my legs stop shaking and aching and hour by hour my symptoms were seemingly disappearing. Is this a case of malpractice? Should I report at least the neurologist to the medical board so maybe it doesn’t happen to someone else?

At least, he's the next face of the league.

Boyfriend of almost 6 months told me last night after I made a joke that if he left me I would find someone in a month that if he was slightly more drunk his hand could slip and he could break my nose. It freaked me out so I immediately got silent and then told him that comment really worried me. He said it was a joke. He said that once many many years ago he hit his ex (the only time he’s done it) and he promised to never do it and in 15 years he never hit her or anyone else again. I answered well but you hit her and that is wrong and he said she even admitted she deserved it. And I asked, why what did she do? Because no woman no matter what deserves to be hit unless it was self defense and he said he didn’t remember but she admitted she deserved it. I dropped the subject and ever since I’ve avoided seeing him. I did message him and told him I was very confused about everything because his comment really scared me. He said it was a joke. So I asked him if someone said that to his sister if he’d be ok with it. He said if it was a joke yes but if it was serious no. I have also remembered he sometimes has playfully slapped my cheek. I don’t like it but it didn’t seem like abuse? I’m very confused. Is this really just a joke and I’m overreacting because if he hasn’t done this in 15 years and it was just a one time thing then maybe it was just a dumb joke he made? Other than this he’s been sweet and we get along and I completely relax around him. I’m also, I’ve realised, a really bad judge of character when it comes to the men I date so I guess that’s why I’m asking Reddit as I don’t see my therapist for a few days.

Age: 25
Sex: M
Height: 5’9
Weight: 165lb
Race: Asian
Duration of complaint: 2 weeks
Location: elbow, palm
Banged my elbow hitting it on the corner of the sink. Initially it was a sharp pain along with a funny bone sensation. The pain didn’t even last a day but the tingling remains, two weeks later. There’s only slight pain if I fully extend my arm like i’m reaching for something. My grip strength also feels shot. I’ve tried stretching my arm and massaging my elbow but it does not help the tingling. Is this part of the recovery for a sprain? Or did I damage a nerve?
edit: no numbness, swelling, or redness. No pain when pressing on elbow. Haven’t found anything that stops this tingling sensation

I have recently been diagnosed with OCD. My therapist says that I’ve probably had it my whole life and that I’m already decently insightful about my obsessions and compulsions. Lately, I’ve been dealing with non-stop paranoid thoughts about my memory and imagination, it's been a huge obstruction to the process of going on about my days. I want to stop thinking like this, every time I am mindful about me doing it I try my best to address it and shut it out, but the only problem is that there is some form of logic and reason behind it that makes these obsessions a lot more practical, which supposes importance to me.
I can't pinpoint when or how it began, but I remember realizing that I can’t remember, or, sometimes can only vaguely remember what happened the day before. I started testing myself every day about it which may have turned into obsessing that would make it a little more difficult for anyone to remember a previous day. A lot of things worried me from then until now, but recently it’s been about my capability to picture things in detail and the loss of my autobiographical memories/general knowledge.
It’s like I’m in a constant loop of brain farts, I know that I haven’t completely forgotten everything because I know that I knew that information before and when I am reminded of it I have slight ideas or familiarity with it in my head.
I am also suspected of having a dissociative disorder, mostly by myself, but my therapist wants me to get a psychological evaluation for this. This makes me think that it could be dissociative amnesia, but I won’t have a psych evaluation anytime soon because the wait list is around 2 years long (no people in the area qualified to do it?). So these are my practical reasons behind it being a mental health problem, I have also been diagnosed with anxiety and depression which I have read could have impact on short term memory, but I don’t know if that is exactly my problem. I don’t know how much of a role OCD could have in it mentally, but I’d assume it to be more than I think it could.
Physical reasons: I have hit my head a lot. I’ve had 2 concussions. Im super paranoid that it could be a brain tumor or brain damage from past experience with drugs and using wrong smoking equipment/method/solvents for dabs. And another reason I think could play a factor was that I was on Zoloft when I was 13-almost 15 or something like that.
Anyways, I really want to fix this. I tell myself equally that it is just mental health or something physical, but in all reality I have no thought that I truly believe.
Btw I’m 18 if that helps. Thank you.
