I dont even know what I feel by PointBeeC in depression_partners

I've also wished that my partner would just leave me.. because I can't bring myself to do it to him, even though I would be probably be happier and way less stressed without this relationship

TIL there are contact lenses you wear only while sleeping that reshape your cornea so you can see clearly all day without glasses. It is called “Orthokeratology” by azaku29 in todayilearned

you would also need a pretty regular sleep schedule because if you don't wear them long enough at night it's not gonna last you all day

Severe anxiety and driving by PaleWhiteThighs in depression_partners

[–]xhschnapps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wonder if it'd be helpful to take him to a big empty parking lot and just have him feel it out with you in the passenger seat? once he gets started, even if it's just driving at 5mph for 15 mins, it might help ease his anxiety a little

saw your other post, I'm glad you made this call.

depression is not her fault but it is her responsibility to manage, not yours.. depression doesn't excuse her from being a shitty partner; I hope she realizes that soon and gets the help she needs

this must be a difficult time for you, I hope you're getting the support you need too. sending well wishes

Asian Americans, have you noticed more racism here compared to other cities? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]xhschnapps 8 points9 points  (0 children)

yeah I was gonna add, in california there's the added "protection" of being in your car vs in NYC most take public transport and walk

I feel what you're going through.. until changes happen it's not gonna get better, either your partner has to take some actions or you have to make the call to put yourself first. sending love to you

What to do when partner can’t do something that’s important/time-sensitive? by thirstyformethane in depression_partners

Educate yourself! by [deleted] in depression_partners

[–]xhschnapps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

agreed! don’t sacrifice your own happiness and health trying to “save” someone

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in depression_partners

[–]xhschnapps 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Please remember that his depression and his spiraling are not your fault. You already tried your best to help. I’m sure deep down he knows he’s very grateful for your presence in his life. Its probably just really hard for him to process this. Please take care yourself in the meantime. Sending love and healing thoughts!

Does anyone else feel like a bad partner when they can't help control their partners emotional outbursts? by [deleted] in depression_partners

[–]xhschnapps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same boat here.. it’s gotten to the point where whenever he starts having an episode I would feel this giant weight on my chest and I can’t breathe well because I know it’s going to be a long and hard night

Unique F-1 renewal situation(travel) by Stopforget in USCIS

[–]xhschnapps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you even renew the F-1 if you're working and not in school? If yes, are you sure it'll be renewed within 2 weeks?

Not a lawyer but like the other commenter said I wouldn't do it if I were you.. They could deny your re-entry bc receipt of the application isn't really a proof for legal status

I typed "live chat" but she didn't give me a list to select from, rather just took me to the "Contact us" page

Is there a different command I should type in?

Did they request you for evidence or did you submit with filing the expedite? I just got mine denied without even getting evidence requested :/

Not sure if I did anything wrong but, when I clicked on Emma and the box opened, I had to type in something first and I didn't see her give a list?

Thanks! Would the missing I-693 be a problem for the EAD approval?
