I'm a professional trainer. As in multiple certifications (KPA-CTP, Crrtified Fear Free Trainer, CSAT, and Family Dog Mediator) and years of experience with mentors, and countless courses, workshops, and seminars. I've helped literally hundreds of people and dogs overcome their own issues.
My own dog feels like a burden, and often I wish that he was different, or that I just didn't have him. It's CRUSHING to feel like I've done everything I can, and he still causes me distress and panic attacks.
He's the dog that 99% of the time is friendly and sweet and everybody fawns over him and comments on how well behaved he is.
The 1% though is horrible. I got dragged headfirst down a hill when he charged another woman walking her dog yesterday. And today he was a dream at the park, playing and socializing with both dogs and people, went to the pet store and he was a sweet angel... until an elderly man walks in.
It was a tight space at the door as my dog was getting a drink, and I could tell he was tense as this person entered. I called him away and we settled doing other things, chatting with the staff (I actually work in this store). The man was ignoring my dog (perfect!!), but my dog was presumably over tired at this point, and when the man passed us to go to pay for his items, my dog jumped up and nipped the man's jacket.
There was no damage done, not even a tear to the jacket, and no actual contact with the man. He didn't even seem to really notice. But I just felt this crushing embarrassment that I didn't manage to prevent this situation from happening.
The thing is, I struggle with navigating the world in general with AuDHD. I'm so hypervigilant with him that it's completely draining. Even when he's predictable, I'm trying to manage myself AND him. I'm so tired, embarrassed, and guilty.
I just want to know if other people struggle with these emotions with their dogs, and how they deal with it.
PLEASE NO TRAINING/MANAGEMENT ADVICE. PLEASE YES TO EMPATHY AND EXPERIENCE SHARES.

Welcome Back To Our "scam" finding REVIEWS! Today, we're going through someone who has been highly recommended to check out.
Its Friday - so we're here checking out "naequalityy" on telegram! They've been vouched for, reviewed by other folks & given a pretty decent amount of feedback from the community so without anymore rambling - lets get into it!
Usually, we break down what's important like the average experience when going through with dealing with them, how to be safe dealing with ANYONE not just people being "accused" of certain practices. So we'll start with the positive
1 - Content / Proof -( 7.8 / 10 )
So starting with what everyone usually wants to see the most, hearing what they do you'd think "bullshit, let me see some proof" & you'd be right. Where's the damn proof this is even real? well - they've got a pretty nice layout of their work, in the group they host on tele! I was able to see people's orders being taken, worked on progressively , content being issued and an actual reaction from them also. We were in a group call as they showed us them using an access link to get into some chicks my eyes only which was actually crazy lol! So they definitely aren't short of anything
2 - Time / Efficiency - (8.3 / 10)
So this parts a bit mixed, they're usually going to quote you a specific time frame (which may or may not be exact - just an estimate) that could most likely change so be open minded before going 100% into this thinking it'll be 10 minutes. It really depends on how much has to get pulled because more content = more work which means more waiting. So I'd do this when i have at least 25-30 minutes to wait because nothing really is "instant". What i also realized is they get pretty booked up - so if you're not at least a member , have history with them or ordered ahead - on a buy day that 30 min might be 1-2 hours.

The Members / Community (8.5 / 10)

They're a pretty relax & cool group , mods take care of all the fake self promo , toxicity , and they keep it a nice place to just chill. They host livestreams where we watch them do orders LIVE! its actually set up pretty nice. The only "negative" some would say is that its a monthly subscription to join to take advantage of the perks it comes with. So bare that in mind because its not exactly an open for everyone community since they share a bunch of private content there.

Security / Anonymity ( 9.1 / 10)

What would a service be. without PROTECTION! Nothing done is moved , shared , published unless YOU say so. They're pretty tight on that actually, & also the fact they keep client anonymity secured! Everything is done in encrypted spaces , & they even make sure anything said / done is wiped from server logs , your intended target doesn't have a CLUE! Which is why im giving this point a 9.

Pricing / Sales ( 8.3 / 10)

Lastly, well take a brief moment to just go over how to get the most $ for your experience. Weekly Sales , Other Members , & Staff Vouches are your best friend! You'll be able to get up to HALF OFF the current rates, weekly updates / info on whats new for snapchat , instagram , & facebook using the snaphacks+ membership, AND internationally - payments are different so keep that in mind.
In Conclusion , We give "naequalityy"s group a (8.6 / 10) for the way they've gotten proof that's easily accessible , a great sense of community when it comes to updating everyone on orders , showing & going out of their way to show you that they're ACTIVELY working , + showing a lot of love to members of their community / group like sales , freebies , & handing out content! Ill link their group on ny social link / comments for more info!

So, for those of you who know my story I have been through a lot during R. Those who don’t can view my post history as I wrote a lot about it.
Back in June of last year I caught WW still in communication with AP. And by communication, I mean I caught her with a hidden camera in our bedroom on a FaceTime masterbating with him while I was staying at a local AirBNB for a golf tournament.
To say I was devastated is an understatement, as it invalidated 6 months of R and put us back to below zero. Looking back, I realize now that I was the only one driving R initially. I was active on subs, reading articles and books, learning everything I could about how to recover from this devastation and keep my family whole. I was also telling WW what I needed from her for R but to her it felt forced. Like I was telling her what needed to be done and when, like being in IC.
She didn’t want to do any of it back then. She was sorry, sure. Sorry for the pain she caused me. Sorry that the kids had to hear us fighting behind closed doors. Sorry that her friends thought less of her. Sorry she got caught. In her mind, she was still blaming me for the affair but knew she couldn’t say it out loud because she couldn’t defend that feeling under scrutiny.
Since DDay 3, I have seen a remarkable shift in my WW. She started IC shortly after and has been dedicated to improving herself as a person. She confessed her actions to our families, some of her friends and one couple that we are close with. She has cut her toxic mother off for long stretches (4 months) and no longer allows her influence on her life and our marriage. This was the big one for me as it was a massive strain on our marriage for its entirety. She has read books to better understand how she could allow herself to self sabotage like this. How she could take everything good in her life for granted and jeopardize it for so little gain. She has evaluated how she interacts with others (men in particular) and established clear boundaries for her behavior. She supports me in my career and helps more with the kids on a day to day basis (also a problem pre-affair). She acknowledges all the things I do for her and our family and expresses appreciation. She reciprocates and shows me how much she respects and values me on a daily basis. She communicates what she is feeling and when she needs more from me in a particular area (also a pre-affair issue). She recognizes AP’s motivations and feels shame for not seeing it sooner.
We have had a few missteps along the way, such as some omissions from the original affair coming to light as well as a coworker acting inappropriately that she didn’t share with me until I found the voicemails and made him call the both of us with his wife on the call also to admit what he was doing (threatened to send the voicemails to HR and blow up his career). While these were serious violations, we have worked through them along with her motivations for keeping them secret. She understands and verbalizes why her motivations were misguided and realizes that therapy has been key in getting her to understand these things.
As of now we are settled back into a comfortable routine, but this time it is more even when it comes to supporting each other. We have made new friendships with others outside of her long standing and somewhat toxic friend group and distanced ourselves from the ones that don’t support us. We have an improved level of intimacy that we are both comfortable with (though I do admit I miss the hysterical bonding 🤣). We focus more on family than before and our children have become much closer with their cousins as a result. We “date” each other often and she drives half of that equation now instead of me having to pursue her as before. We spend quality time with the kids as well as alone with each other every day. In short, we have built the marriage we want out of the ashes of the old one.
There are still struggles of course. I still harbor resentment and anger at times and can face triggers on isolated occasions. She is overcoming a lifetime of conditioning and poor coping skills which is not done overnight. We argue (respectfully of course) on things at times but we communicate our frustrations immediately now instead of letting them fester. I still have some struggles with intimacy as I can get stuck in my head in the moment on occasion, which concerns me, but we make it work.
At the end of the day, we both have taken this nightmare and have turned it into an opportunity to better ourselves and our marriage. To honestly and harshly assess our flaws and shortcomings and dedicate ourselves to either fix them or at least minimize their impact.
I look back on the period before DDay 3 and still have many regrets, from ignoring my gut during the affair to how I handled things after it came to light, but I don’t fault myself. I realize I was doing the best I could with the information I had available, and was making decisions from a place of integrity and hope. While I may have been naive at times, I never betrayed my own values during this process. I always made decisions with the best interests of my family at heart. We still have a long way to go and this is a life long endeavor for improvement, but at this moment I feel content and optimistic with our progress. This is a long, ugly path that can be avoided with emotional intelligence and maturity, but unfortunately some don’t have the self introspection needed to do so. That is where the childhood trauma comes into play in my opinion.

The new mode is super fun and has me playing the game again.
The only issue please please please have ramping scoring. Many of the games are won by round 5 since someone will have had 3 giants survive and secure 1200 points and just auto win since the late game slug fest never leaves many units alive.
Making the game super one dimensional where the person with the early lead always in the 10 games I have played wins even if after round 6 they never have a unit left standing.
Ramping scoring would add more of a dynamic where you can come back with a different build.

So, for those of you who know my story I have been through a lot during R. Those who don’t can view my post history as I wrote a lot about it.

I quit alcohol after I started having terrible issues with sleep and anxiety. At first I had terrible insomnia and was afraid to fall asleep. I had this terrible dry eye issue. After a couple months I got over that and the insomnia. The biggest issue is that some days I wake up as if I haven’t gotten any sleep even if I slept between 8-10 hours. This feeling causes me to not be able to function and causes terrible anxiety. I will randomly feel these effects control me. Some days I wake up feeling rested and can get things done. Even on those days I can be hit with this overwhelming fatigue feeling that makes me wanna lay down otherwise I feel like I’ll faint. Other days I feel so tired and sleepy I can’t do anything but lay in bed. I have no idea what to do at this point because I want to work and need to make money but it’s almost impossible when you don’t know if you’re gonna wake up feeling like complete shit or not. I have a pituitary tumor but my doctor says it’s unlikely that it’s the cause of these issues. I’m on month 10 now of being sober and I feel a lot better than I did at the beginning. I ended up having 3 sleep studies, one of them showed mild sleep apnea while the others didn’t. Mild sleep apnea doesn’t qualify you for a cpap. So I’ve been using nose strips. At this point my doctors aren’t sure what’s wrong with me and chalked it up to CFS(chronic fatigue syndrome). I don’t think it’s that but I honestly don’t know at this point because I don’t think it’s anxiety or depression, these symptoms feel way too awful and physical to be that. I’m wondering if anyone else has had these issues? I’ve heard of PAWS but from what I understand it goes away after a while. Bloodwork on everything is fine as well.
Side note: I had been drinking for almost 4 years sometimes on and off but most the time 2-3 times a week, pretty heavily.

I’ve been coaching my six and seven year olds t bal and coach pitch team for 3 seasons. Each year we set the goal of becoming a better team and better individually each week. In practice we do team warm up, 3 stations followed by a 5x 5 scrimmage. We also practice “ game situations “ a ton. 80% of batted balls go right to the pitcher, ss and 2b… We practice defending these plays so in the games we know what do do when we get the ball.
We rotate our players in step with the league rules, 2 innings max per position etc
The problem is our opponents apparently don’t put in the same work we do and we are “ winning” our games in blow out fashion week after week. Our games are scheduled for 75 mins or 4 innings… 6 or 7 of our opponents this season have quit after 3 innings or 45 mins One refused to use the game ball and instead wanted to use a super bouncy ball . Which completely screws up our defensive rotation and players we had promised positions due don’t get to play them due to the games ending early.
Complaints have been made to the league that were “ too competitive “ for this age. iMO we’re just coaching and playing ball. Our parents love the team culture, our kids constantly ask coaches about the score, are we winning etc… We explain let’s just play ball but these kids actually want to learn how to win.
I began coaching to give my kids, and their teammates the best experience possible and I believe I’m coming from a good place however the constant complaining from other teams is beginning to take a toll. We’ve had opponents forfeit with an hours notice, teams show up with six players. and place all of their players in between 1st and 2nd and 2nd and 3rd
Our families constantly thank us for actually coaching baseball and putting the effort into the team which is nice to hear, however I’m beginning to feel like a pariah. iMO we are one of the few teams actually playing the right way.
The recurring complaint about our team is that this is “ just rec ball”… however things have apparently changed in the 20+ years since I played in this league. I remember most teams and coaches putting in a solid effort, however this is not the case any longer
Player development and the process is more important to our coaches over results however our hard work clearly shows up on the field. Every kid has improved tremendously . The kids are having a blast, we have sliding practices water balloon tosses etc… Our league apparently has more of an issue with our team and style of play than they do with these half hearted coaches and teams. Often times after games opponents parents compliment us on our dedication and ask how they can join our team next season
Am I completely out of my mind for feeling this way or am I in fact out out of my mind for coaching this way?
I really am stumped. Love the kids and families on our team , but these constant complaints from other teams are souring me on our league
For reference I am a former D 1 baseball players but this was 20 years ago and I didn’t really follow youth sports until my own kids were of age

Hey everyone, I’m planning on volunteering in Italy in approximately 3 months and I’m trying to look into the visa I may need, but the information is extremely vague. For context, I come from a country that has Schengen exemption, meaning I can travel around the Schengen area for less than 90 days with no issue. This volunteering opportunity offers free housing and food, no money. I’ve searched the web to see if I need a special visa or something but I can’t find anything and it’s frustrating me. Does anyone have any info on this? Btw I’m only planning on staying 30 days in the country so I’m not really at risk of going over the tourist visa limits.

Hi,
I'd just like to let my story somehwere off my chest. It's not a special story, just somebody's boring life story. But as a 25 year old girl, it all makes me feel really tired. Other than eberything written below, I'm normally happy.
As already said, I'm a 25 year old female, living with mom and sister. Dad passed away when I was very little, so my mom raised me and my sister alone. I managed to complete high school, BA and MA (soon) studies and get a job 3 years ago. In that sense, everything sounds good. Anyway, through certain life circumstances, for the past year, I've been the only one working in the house. I'm okay with being helpful to my mother as a way of saying thank you for everything you did for me, but it seems like the life is passing by me while I try to be as thankful as possible. It's hard for me to do anything for myself in any way. My mom and I don't share opinions in relation to anything, so I'd like to move out to try to organize my life the way I want. But it would be almost impossible for me to pay the rent and bills for myself, and provide for mom and sister at the same time. I'd like to buy a car for myself, but it's really hard to save some money for myself when my mom constantly has new plans and wishes. Those plans and wishes are, as she says, for me and my sister. But the truth is I don't care about for instance new furniture in the house. It's not something I want. I want to go and live my life just a little bit, the way I want, without being controlled all the time. Sound like a paradox - being grown up, educated and completely financially independent girl at 25, but at the same time spending youth in the house, because in the end I'm not independent. Man, I don't ever go to vacations. Ever. Mom didn't develop a habit for us to do so, maybe couldn't afford it. Now I could afford it, but first I'm not used to it. Second, I'll give my everything to mom, to fulfill her wishes. Third, 'take your sister too'. The truth is, I wanna rest from them. Yes, there's my sister who's 2 years younger than me, dropped out of studies, and is not confident enough to work. She's completely healthy. I have no idea why she's been just sitting in the house for the past year. She just has issues with her confidence. I really have no time to think about that problem as well, since I travel to another city for work, study and think of million other things.
I'm not trying to make myself look huge. I don't think I am. Those are normal things in life. I'm just sometimes too tired, and no person that has any interaction with me in my life is aware of how hard I try to keep everything in order and how tired I am.
I don't even care if I get banned, judged or ignored here. I don't even care if I sound frustrated, because I am a bit. I understand I should fight for myself, but it's hard to find a line between fighting for yourself and being rude, disrespectful and unthankful. I'm just leaving this post and this sentence here as a wish for myself, as a wish sent to the universe to help me become a better person, stronger, and push me to live my life with full lungs, the way I want and enjoy the life for at least a small portion of time.

So in the beginning wife and I did not have issues with bedroom time. We were fairly active. Maybe 3-4 times a month. Our son came along and obviously everything changed (no regrets) he is 2 now and the joy of our life. I don't plan on having a second child, and the wife also is on the "same page". (Deep down I know she wants a second one and won't say it out loud in front of me) but that's not the issue. I keep track of her cycle, she is a bit forgetful when it comes to that. She is only in the mood when she is ovulating. Understandably, that's human nature. But here is the rub.. birth control makes her too sick or not in the mood at all (true i have seen it). "No condoms, we are married and they are uncomfortable". Dock won't tie my tubes I'm too young,(f 34) and we don't have 2 kids, dock won't give you a vectitomy your too young (m 31) and you don't have 2 kids. Obviously having adult time while she is ovulating, or no sex at all is where I'm at. I don't want to risk her getting pregnant, but I don't want our sex life to evaporate either. Pulling out isn't effective enough, in my opinion, so AITAH for our 7 month dry spell. I'm starting to feel like a roommate, and not a husband anymore..

hi i’m f19. my mom has had severe health anxiety since i was a kid and still does. i don’t want to get into details of how bad it gets, but it’s baaaaad. she never got help for it even though we (dad, me, and brother) all told her she should. spent my childhood reassuring her she doesn’t have every disease you can imagine.
i thought i was spared from the health anxiety curse but then last summer, i was in the worst pain of my life. i had a 6cm ovarian cyst that they first thought was appendicitis but then they did a ct scan. after that i have gotten much more scared about being in pain and google all my symptoms
flash forward to my first year at college with my bf. anytime we do something intimate, even if there’s no p in v penetration (there hasn’t even been any yet), and my period is a bit off, i convince myself something is wrong. the first time he fingered me my period was late for a week and i was in literal SHAMBLES. that was November. i thought i would’ve gotten better since then, but it’s now may and my period isn’t right on the dot. there was no fingering this time, just oral and he touched my cl!t i’m convincing myself there was precum on his finger as he did..but im cramping severely, stomach issue, sore boobs (pms ik) and also a upper thigh pain that comes and goes which started around the time of my cyst(i think if my cyst comes back it’ll start hurting there). now ive convinced myself i have endometriosis or im pregnant. and my body reacts really badly to hormones and the IUD freaks me the fuck out, i’m w orried of being in pain like the cyst again
My mom’s health anxiety has just gotten worse over the years and i feel like mine is getting there. i started therapy recently but right now i just want my period and to feel physically better. idk how to get over the idea something will always go wrong

This is advice I would have given myself before I started studying, had I known everything I do now, to make my bar prep easier. I passed in July 2023. A lot of the "advice" posts on here I feel aren't very accurate, helpful, or are extremely generic.

Don't over extend yourself and focus your efforts on committing what you've learned to long-term memory.
- It's better to focus on the heavily tested topics than it is to try and learn EVERYTHING. The scope of "possible" topics on the bar is so large that if you spend your time stressing or trying to learn literally everything that *could* be tested, you will ruin your mental health and miss out on review time, which is when the rules actually *click* and stick for you.
- I tried so hard to watch both the Barbri lectures AND read the conciser outlines AND read JDadvising outlines, etc, because I was so afraid I would miss some obscure rule or example. This ended up working against me, as I barely had any time left for review by the end of it. I should have just stuck with one, focused on the heavily tested topics, and given myself plenty of time for review to commit it all to longterm memory.
Reserve time for practice. Dont spent all your time just on reading/learning. Do LOTS of MBE practice questions. Buy Adaptibar. Don't waste time writing essays, but try to read and do issue spotting outlines for as many essays as possible so you learn what your pitfalls are.
- At the end of the day, knowing the black letter rule is absolutely no help if you've never seen the format of the MBE, or applied that knowledge to a prompt.
- When I first bought Adaptibar, I got so many questions wrong, even though i could recall the rule, because I didn't understand the questions and didn't have practice applying the rule to facts.
- The black letter rules are ultimately abstract concepts. You NEED to have practice applying it in order to pass the bar. For example, only after doing several evidence essay questions did I realize I was consistently missing easy points because I would forget to talk about relevance. Don't waste time writing full essay answers, do outlines.
Quit your bar prep program early if it isnt working for you, and come up with your own schedule.
- I stuck with Barbri's program until late June because I felt I had to, when I should have quit much sooner.
- Everyone's study habits are different. Don't stick to your program if you know it isnt working. I eventually completely stopped watching the lectures and focused solely on reading outlines and making flashcards, because I knew my problem was recall. I understood the rules just fine, so watching lecture after lecture of someone explaining the rules to me wasn't actually helping me.
Be okay with not passing.
- Anxiety, stress, etc., will not help you with retention and will affect your sleep. You need to come to terms with potentially not passing. Internalize it.

Pat’s client that I am concerned about is more than 70 years old and the owner of a nationally-known company with significant assets/value. The client maintains (for tax reporting purposes) a residence and vehicles in Missouri, however, actually spends the majority of their time in California, where they also have a residence, vehicles and other properties; client also owns properties and vehicles in other states. The client is not married but has adult children and siblings; the relationships with these family members is distant but not estranged. Client will be referred to as Shannon.
In addition to having the company, Shannon established a 501(c)3 foundation that accepts donations and provides scholarships. Pat is named on the board of this foundation as the treasurer, which seems inappropriate to me but I am unsure if this is legally or ethically an issue?
In recent years, Pat has become more actively involved in the employee/personnel aspects of Shannon’s company, most recently personally taking on the role of firing employees or reducing their hours to create non-livable employment situations; employees who previously communicated directly with Shannon are now being directed to communicate through Pat with their questions/concerns. Pat has, on many occasions, answered calls going to Shannon’s personal phone.
Pat has also become more involved in Shannon’s personal life and appears to be influencing Shannon to be more isolated from family members, as well as trying to convince Shannon to sell properties (Pat refers to these properties as “money pits” in an effort to influence Shannon to sell them). I have become aware that an updated legal document (unsure if it was a will or trust or something else) was prepared for Shannon that has the potential to pass any estate/inheritance to Pat when Shannon dies if the family remains distant or becomes further estranged. I don’t have a copy of this document nor do I know the name of the lawyer that prepared it, but this set off huge alarm bells for me.
All of this together seems incredibly sketchy to me but I am not sure where to start with regard to reporting it. Part of me is concerned about the isolating of Shannon as possibly crossing into elder abuse but I don’t believe that Shannon’s mental state is sufficiently diminished enough to support that they don’t understand what is going on; I believe that Pat is a master manipulator, especially since they have had this ongoing advisoclient relationship for many years.
I’m looking for any advice regarding how to bring this situation to the attention of whomever would investigate it – or any advice at all, really. If there’s somewhere else I should post this, please let me know. Thank you.

I started reading this Novel and the first and second chapters were good however everything after those chapters was NONSENSE. The plot is like this, "Debby Alessandro received a sudden text from her fiancee that he had annulled their engagement. Heartbroken, she ran to her bestfriend's house to cry out her sorrow, but she unexpectedly saw her fiancée and her bestfriend having s*x. She felt like her heart was being butchered by a heartless murderer. Having nowhere else to run to, she landed in a club where she angrily and recklessly drank herself into a stupor. She unexpectedly woke up naked beside a strange man. She immediately parked her stuff and left the country. She came back five years later with her handsome boy. She didn't expect her son to get her in trouble by deflating one of the tires of a Mercedes-Maybach. How will she deal with the fact that the owner of the Mercedes-Maybach was not only her CEO but that he also has a striking resemblance with her son?"
This story had the potential to be good however the plot was wasted. I understand that there are bound to be misunderstandings between the leads however not every other chapter. The male lead is brainless even though he has a lot of power. What's even worse is that he doubted the female lead time and time again only to get proved wrong countless times, I think by now he should have unwavering trust in the female lead. Why is it that he is always clouded by anger continuously fails to discern the truth and gets easily manipulated by others when he has the power to uncover stuff and make a better judgment? I have never seen such an incapable CEO. Next is the female lead. The female lead has no backbone and can't stand up for herself. She is easily manipulated and plotted against. Although she knows it is a trap, she sits there, and it leads to her being prosecuted by the villains. All she does is beg and plead that she is innocent. By now she should be able to stand up for herself man geez. She needed to be stronger.
If I had to rate that book out of 5, it would be given a 0.5 because that story was ridiculous. Hats off to the author because at least you tried but you need to work on your grammar issues and plotting for a successful storyline that hooks your readers. Sadly, I would not recommend this book to anyone.

I rent. I’ve been dealing with roaches in my kitchen ever since pest control treated the property, including my unit and 3 neighbors. I don’t see them anywhere but the kitchen.
Ran a load last night. The dishwasher smells like sewage 3ish days after I run a load.
I suspected they were coming in via the sink drains. But now I keep them plugged at all times. Last I spoke with pest control, they said I should talk to my plumber.
The dishwasher is brand new and was installed before I moved in 4 months ago. But our plumber wasn’t the one who installed it.
I keep my kitchen clean. Rinse & remove food residue after putting them in the dishwasher. I rarely cook and when I do I wipe down the countertops. The disposal is clean, per my plumber.
Would it be fair to say the dishwasher was installed wrong? What, if anything, would a plumber do to fix the roach issues if pest control doesn’t work? I’m at my wits end after seeing that bastard in my dishwasher.

Hey everyone, I’m planning on volunteering in Switzerland in approximately 3 months and I’m trying to look into the visa I may need, but the information is extremely vague. For context, I come from a country that has Schengen exemption, meaning I can travel around the Schengen area for less than 90 days with no issue. This volunteering opportunity offers free housing and food, no money. I’ve searched the web to see if I need a special visa or something but I can’t find anything and it’s frustrating me. Does anyone have any info on this? Btw I’m only planning on staying 30 days in the country so I’m not really at risk of going over the tourist visa limits. I would be able to show my return ticket and everything.

So much of the advice given to men my age is go to the gym, focus on your career, etc. I've been working out most of my life at this point, have a pretty good physique, can deadlift 3x my bodyweight. Even then, it's been months at this point where I've felt a genuine motivation to go the gym. I just go because it's routine at this point. I have a well paying job in the field I've always wanted to be in, recently moved away from home to a new city (and my first time living in a city) for a good bump in pay.
From an outsiders perspective I'm sure it feels like I have it all but I feel completely hollow on the inside and that my life feels empty. I was always a shy kid but at some point I just developed seemingly insurmountable self esteem issues that ruin my ability to find happiness. I was self conscious about my looks basically all throughout my life.. I don't even feel particularly bad about my appearance at this point, I know I'm not ugly, but it's not like 23 years of believing so didn't have an effect on my social skills and self esteem.
I don't think I have social anxiety, atleast not severe to the point that it hinders my ability to work and function day to day, I'm also decent enough at holding conversations if someone starts it.. but I legit don't think I've ever in my life just walked up to a stranger and made conversation. I have great friendships back home, but all of my close friends are friendships that started at child hood or high school.. I don't think I've made a new genuine friend since. Not a single friendship made in 4 years of college.
Obviously this makes dating a nightmare. My one relationship, that lasted over 4 years, was more or less the result of a girl whose family was friends of mine who kept pursuing me.. and I stayed in that relationship much longer than I should have because I didnt want to be alone. I've been single 3.5 years now and I cant even pretend at this point that I don't want a relationship. I've had a handful of dates through OLD but nothing long term, and OLD is a shit experience anyways.. but meeting someone doesn't feel possible else wise right now.
Logically, I know I just need to forget dating for the moment and focus on solving out whatever mental issues I have, because they're not just gonna go away, they didn't when I was in a relationship before. But at the same time, I genuinely miss having a partner, someone I could share my day to day life with, the feeling of being desirable and wanted by another person, and I don't know how much longer I can take being single.
I have zero motivation to do anything I find enjoyable like reading a new book, listening to new music, playing the bass. Every couple of months ill get the urge to game and that atleast distracts my mind for a few weeks. Every weekend I sit around on my phone just stewing away in my thoughts. Even now as I type this, I drove 5 hours to visit home last night, and all I've done is sit on the couch with the family dog lmao.
Sorry for the long rant but yeah. As much as I wished becoming objectively swole and being financially successfull gave me some genuine meaning to life, I cant say it is right now lmao
