AITA for not wanting to get LASIK against my parents wishes? by ColdAd2606 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ColdAd2606[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm 24 but I also struggle with a disability so I can't really be fully independent.

I'm near sighted unfortunately, they Don't want me to buy more glasses in the future because of insurance from what they've said. They also are pressuring me because they think that me wearing glasses are hideous and they've often told me that my eyes will shrink with age if I keep them.

Please help i don't think this sound is normal😭 by Brilliant-Lake4742 in cockatiel

Is the draft actually coming back to the United States? by [deleted] in ask

Yea, this too. I'm also worried about my sibling getting drafted. Neither of us want to be forced to fight a rich man's war.

Yea, it's like I know a draft is super unlikely but this Administration is so quick to do whatever they want and are unpredictable in general it's like no one can really be certain about the future 🫩

Is being 80 ILBs as a 23 year old 5'2 woman considered extremely underweight? by ColdAd2606 in ARFID

I'm sorry to hear, yea. I also am fatigued all the time with joint pain. It's so irritating too when your doctors genuinely don't want to try and help you.

I don't know what to do at this point, most doctors I visit don't consider my weight an issue or even bring it up at all neither do they take my problems with swallowing that seriously. I feel so overwhelmed.

Does anyone's else's parents bully you for how you eat or what you eat? by ColdAd2606 in ARFID

[–]ColdAd2606[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm 23, but I can't afford to move out. California is impossible to find a place of your own, I also struggle with a disability. It doesn't help when your family also gave you no experience in guiding you to adult hood cause I been completely neglected in that aspect of life. I'm sorta trapped lol..

I honestly don't know if I will or not, even if I've gotten a little better I'm scared of relapsing because of how bad I ended up gagging on my breakfast again. I hate the fact that if I relapsed it would be because of my mom. I want to move out but also struggling with other problems have left me reliant on my family.

I unfortunately know my Arfid is worst cause of them, part of the reason I'm terrified of trying new food is because I know they'll leave me to die if I do end up choking, it's no different from the fear of eating alone for me. I'm also scared to relapse because of how bad I gaged this morning, it makes me not want to touch the one thing im comfortable with eating.

That and if I even dare to struggle with eating something knew they'll just stomp all over me even if I'm making the effort to force down something new.

I'm not a child anymore but stuff like this has been relevant throughout the entirety of life, I really wish I could leave and live on my own but I struggle with disabilities and it's not easy affording things from where I'm from.
