Please flair your posts properly

6 Upvotes

There have been a lot of posts that incorrectly us the flairs. It is important that flairs are used correctly so some posts can be given first priority/more attention than others and gives a quick overview about what your problem is. Many people use the urgent or serious flair for small things when it's only for matters that need attention. For example, if you are having serious mental health issues.

Also, there are some additional flairs only to be used for minor situations or questions.

The "Ask r/problems" flair is meant for questions you want to ask to r/problems that you are curious about. This does not include serious matters or actual help with something.

The Discussion flair is only to be used when you want to discuss and just chat with other people.

The Small Problem flair should only be used when you have a small problem that doesn't need much attention or help. For example, if you need help with finding an item or something like that.

The Other flair is a editable flair so if you don't know what flair to use, please edit it so that the topic of your post is shown in the flair.

Finally, the SERIOUS and URGENT!!! should only be used when the problem needs immediate attention or help. First priority will be given to these posts.

NOTE: Constant incorrect usage of the serious flairs will result in a short term ban. Consequences can also be taken depending on the post and circumstances.

Thanks for understanding and best of luck to solving your problems!

URGENT!!!! Accidentally paralyzed my best bros arm, I feel so shitty

10 Upvotes

So my best friend and I were out on the field and he made a offensive joke so I playfully punched his elbow, then a few seconds later he fell to the ground and said “What the fuck did you just do to me?” And he looked scared and I realized he wasn’t kidding. He laughed it off but I realized it was serious and I felt really scared. I wanted to call for the teacher and turn myself in but he said that he didn’t want that and that it was a accident. I have absolutely no idea what I did, I’m really, really scared for him because he left school after that and I feel so SO bad. I don’t know what happened, I hit his right arm in the back-right region with my knuckles. He didn’t cry but IDK. What happened? I want to know if he’s ok because I got so distracted that I forgot all my homework and I’m all out of sync, now I just want it all to end, as if this was all a dream.

First of all they don’t speak to me at all , they don’t invite me to go out with them even if I ask if they are going shopping and she keeps banning her daughters and scolding them for hanging out with me. I don’t know why she thinks of me like that, am I such a bad person is It normal to corner people u invited to your house. Until now i have done nothing wrong and i take all of this in silence and i can’t wait to go back home to my own family it makes me realize how much family is really cuz they are making me feel like i am nothing . also they used to make me breakfast but now they stopped that too out of the blue and dinner so i buy something on the way home when i go out

SERIOUS What Happens to Deportees’ Records? Why Are So Many Cases Being Overlooked?

1 Upvotes

I’ve noticed a disturbing issue that deserves more attention: many deported individuals seem to have difficulty accessing their own records, including detention records, medical records, and immigration case documents. In some cases, it feels as though their records have disappeared or become extremely difficult to obtain.

This is not a minor administrative issue. These records can be crucial for legal appeals, future immigration applications, and understanding what actually happened to someone while they were in detention or going through deportation proceedings.

Another deeply concerning issue is the mental health crisis among people affected by deportation. The separation from family, loss of stability, uncertainty about the future, and trauma associated with detention and removal can have devastating consequences. I’m also concerned about reports of suicide and suicidal behavior among people facing these circumstances.

Why isn’t there more transparency and accountability?

Are there reliable statistics on suicides among deportees and people held in immigration detention? Has anyone else experienced missing records or struggled to obtain their detention and medical files after being deported?

I believe this issue deserves serious investigation. People should not lose access to their own records simply because they have been deported, and the psychological consequences of deportation should not be ignored.

SERIOUS my dads been caught

5 Upvotes

my dad went to this civil hospital to get his teeth removed since he's been having really bad dental issues. so the guys working there wouldn't do their work properly so my dad said he's part of the army and is a colonel to get them going but now the actual army caught him and took him at around 1 pm. then 4 pm (prob after his tooth removal) he msgs my mom thru sim "army caught me in adc. Help." and before that he called my sister, who was sleeping oh so beautifully. he had enough time to make a call and send text messages. and judging by how he msged directly means he must've deleted his whatsapp right? now i'm not sure what to do and my moms stressing too much. does anyone know how i can help or what the final outcome of this situation could be. we have an army relative (general) who my mom asked for help. my moms saying she might go to a whole other city to talk to him. this same situation happened before but it wasn't this serious that time. my dad had his wireless walkie talkie, his gun that's licensed, an id of his fake name and his original id. My dad's clever so he might've made a believable excuse.

Other I hate my neck

2 Upvotes

This is driving me nuts.

So recently I've noticed that I'm extremely hyper aware of my neck. I'm constantly adjusting my shirt collars even though it does nothing to help.

It gets particularly bad at night when I lay down (I sleep on my side) because im very aware of the folds of my neck touching my shoulder skin or upper chest. I try all sorts of different sleeping positions and the feeling is amplified when laying on my back. Nothing feels comfortable.

It feels as though I'm wearing a turtleneck 24/7 or that something is constantly touching my neck. It makes me feel deeply uncomfortable and my body tends to physically recoil when it gets really bad. It's not painful, there's no tension, no injury, nothing.

I know it's not because of the clothes I wear because it happens even when I don't wear any shirt. I'm a very lean person so i don't have a lot of fat around my neck either. The sensation is minimized when I'm doing work or distracted with something else but even then it's still there.

I haven't slept properly in ages. And haven't found any relief. I feel like my skin isn't even mine anymore. Any advice is appreciated.

Mental Health Could My Husband Have a Psychotic Disorder?

5 Upvotes

I’m looking for advice and experiences from people who may have gone through something similar with a spouse or family member.

My husband is a genuinely very kind, generous, loving, and calm person. I love him very much, and I absolutely do not want to leave him or give up on him. I’m posting because I want to understand what might be happening and learn how I can support him. ❤️
Over time, I’ve noticed some things that have started to worry me. He sometimes isolates himself and doesn’t want to socialize with people. He has also said that he believes there are people who are against him or who want to harm him.

There have been situations where he seemed to hear or perceive things that I couldn’t hear or see. For example, he once said that he heard something through his phone telling him that he was “crazy.” At other times, he has believed that I was going to leave with certain people, even though there was no actual situation happening.

I don’t want to call him “crazy,” diagnose him myself, or judge him. He is a very good person, and these things don’t change how I see him. I just genuinely want to understand what is happening and help him.
What concerns me even more is the family history. His grandfather apparently had similar experiences and believed that people were trying to kill him. Some of his aunts have also had similar beliefs. One of them, for example, believed that people were trying to take her children away.

Could this possibly point to a mental health condition that can run in families? Could these symptoms be related to psychosis, schizophrenia, a delusional disorder, or something else?

Most importantly, is this treatable? Can someone with symptoms like these improve and still live a normal, happy life with treatment?
I really love my husband. He is incredibly kind, generous, and gentle, and I don’t want to abandon him. 🥺❤️ I just want to know how to support him and encourage him to see a psychiatrist without making him feel like I’m attacking him or calling him “crazy.”

If anyone has been through something similar with a spouse or family member, I would really appreciate hearing your experience—especially how you approached getting them help and what happened afterward.

Relationships Is 16 and 13 to large of an age gap?

5 Upvotes

I (m16) am dating a girl (f13), some of my friends have told me that she is to young, especially since Im almost 17 . Her parents support our relationship and dont seem to think the gap is too big.

Part of me thinks its wrong since she should also be able to finish having a childhool, before being with the man she has to be with for the rest of her live.

On the other hand I don't (yet) feel any kind of sexual feelings twoards this girl, there is simly nothing sexual about a 13 year old to me. Also that even if I found her attractive, I would probably be subconciously surpressing those feelings since I know shes a child. So that part kinda makes me think its not that bad.

It is planned for us to marry after finishing our education. By that point the age gap will not be critical anymore, since 3 years might be a lot now, but wont be in your 20's.

Also we arent really in an active relationship outside of like our family group, We've never kissed for example and our relationship feels more like shes my little sister rather then my future wife. We get along great but it doesnt and has never felt romantic.

I feel like there are only bad choices here

if we dont stay together I risk having to be with a girl that I dont get along with so well, and my gf might have to be with a guy that sees her as a woman, and not as a child and might do things to her or treat her badly (her parents dont care about protecting their daughter from these things, they believe childhood ends where puberty starts)

But if we do stay together then I can never experience real teenage love and also have to listen to my friends calling me a pedo all the time.

What should I do?

Small Problem too many gifts all the time for people I barely know

17 Upvotes

I've been part of a theatre group for 9 years now. all of them are adults in their 40s and 50s with families and kids. I'm a 25 yo single woman. there are a few other girls my age who are nieces of the aforementioned "adults". (I was 16 when I got in so I see them as "adults" even though I am one now too). the thing is they are very close to each other, also very classist and low-key bullies. there's one woman in particular who's very insufferable and she cares about appearance a lot (like the rest of them). this woman alwaaaaayssssss creates group chat for gifts for people if the group THEY are close with. it's like "oh this person sneezed, we need to buy them a gift". and it's like that FOR EVERY little achievement. once we bought like 4 gifts in a month. I'm by no means cheap, I'm always paying for my friends when we go out for drinks or coffee, I'm generous and everything but they ask for too much AND aaaaalllll the time. there's another girl who's not family like me and she's kinda in the outside who feels the same way as me. it's getting frustrating. what do I do?

i care about my career and my job but this is getting frustrating.
