hi. I’m 14 years old and I’ve had functional dyspepsia and gerd for more than a year, I’ve had an endoscopy and recently a gastric emptying scan and it showed 0 results except lactose intolerance. I’ve had PPIs but nothing helped, and I’ve gotten to a stage where I’ve given up, and I just eat anything and have stomach aches nausea and reflux all day every day. Since, no matter what I eat literally everything I get sick, I just eat whatever which is stupod I know but I gave up, and idk what to do and my mom just gets upset at me for eating so terribly when my digestion is wrecked and i really don’t know what to do anymore. I feel hopeless. and I keep eating through pain and binge eating to cope with the stress( then I get more sick, and it’s a loop + I’m malnourished. idk what to do to stop myself and eat normally and stop stress eating which started since like 2025, I’ve been doing it for months so no wonder my digestion sucks when I’m eating four more pieces of toast while almost throwing up and choking on pieces. and eating late at night while nearly barfing. idk what’s wrong with me. and I genuinely have given up now on eating normal foods and I just ignore the constant pain I feel and I truly feel hopeless. especially because the gastric emptying scan showed I had normal emptying, so idk what’s wrong with me, I think my excessive unhealthy eating is one of the main problems, (and my gastroenterologist mentioned it could be anxiety as well) but no one is helping me, idk what to do to get myself out of this hell , my gastro tried to get me a nutritionist and therapist but my mom screamed and got mad because she said therapy is anti Christian and nutritionists are useless. my gastro mentioned it could be visceral hypersensitivity. my parents said we could go to a different hospital for help, but I just feel so hopeless i feel like they won’t even help. When I try to tell my mom about my stress eating, she just gets mad at me and makes fun of me

hi, I’m 14 and my parents are very religious (Christian) and extremely homophobic so since I was a kid they would tell me it’s a sin and wrong and “disgusting” and brainwash me with bigoted and cruel things, until I realized that I’m bisexual and fully support lgbtq+ which they despise and I don’t know what to do. I’m genuinely scared, im scared that I’m being “Brainwashed by Satan” and going against my religion, I don’t know what’s wrong or right anymore and I’ve been questioning my beliefs completely, my mom actually has been yelling at me for not paying attention during church. She’s noticed and idk what to do about it, I don’t know if I even believe my beliefs or I’m just being irrational in questioning things . I’m genuinely so scared. it’s been draining me for like a year now.

fo one, recently my Miis on tomodachi life fell in love, aka in a video game, and my mom literally attacked and screamed at me for it because they were both girls and that’s “dishonoring to god” and “normalizing sin.” so I’ve been hiding while playing and feel ashamed and so sad, because I was showing my miis and my island to my mom and I was so happy about it, and now I can’t anymore at all

and don’t get me started on writing - I’m a huge writer and creating characters has been my passion for years, and my characters are lgbtq+, but I feel terrified and guilty for it and I feel guilty for feeling guilty and I just want to make art and write about my characters, even maybe one day turn it into a game book etc. in fact it’s so personal to me, I’ve been writing about themes of things I’m experiencing, like religious guilt, but if my mom ever finds out I don’t know what I’d do and I’m scared she’s right that I’m sinning and dishonoring God and being “brainwashed” or whatever. And once I was like 7 when she found out I had an lgbtq+ friend she said I have to “pray” for them to go to heaven and since then I’m scared if I talk about anything lgbtq+ around my friends then I’m ”negatively influencing” them. im so sorry for the rant. I’m just scared and tired of this. if she ever finds out I’m bi I don’t know what will happen. it feels like my world has recently been changing. I want to be myself, I want to be able to write about lgbtq+ characters, ship them and play a silly game in peace but I can’t anymore. It meant so much to me

TW: suicide stuff. // I’m 14 and chronically ill and I’m not doing well at studies, homeschooled for years and I have no friends and all I do is rot away on social media at home and I’m questioning my life, my my beliefs and everything and I feel miserable. I tell my mom about my worried, she says “it’ll all be okay, your future is so bright!“ okay, then she turns around and tells me “you’re ruining your life, you have no future, you’re being a bum and r*tard” just because I was feeling ill so I was on my phone at night.

And when I got upset she said I’m being sensitive and dramatic and said “I was saying AT THIS RATE you’ll ruin your life, I’m not saying not right now”. And “I like hearing strong words from god, I’m trying to help you” lol. today I was trying to study science, and I was having trouble focusing as always (I’m neurodivergent) and I kept remembering her words. right now I’m crying but honestly she’s right, I have no future, I struggle to even brush my teeth because of how exhausted I am. she even told me to kill myself last christmas because because we got into a family fight. and my ex friend has been harassing me and threatened to kill herself two days before my birthday. i wish I were dead, idk how to get out of this slump. sorry for the vent/rant

Hi! I’m 14 and my mom got extremely upset at me over tomodachi life living the dream because my female characters got crushes on each other and she said I’m sinning and disrespecting god by “allowing” this in my game and not changing the dating preferences, then her lecture ended in her saying sarcastically that I should do whatever I want

now I play hiding and feel extremely guilty for the same sex relationships in my game, she’s acting like it’s a crime (and she doesn’t know I’m bi🫩) sorry just needed to share how frustrated I am. Idk what to do. I feel so bad, and now I can’t show my island to her anymore. I was so excited to show her the characters I made and got yelled at in return.😭

Hello, I’ve doing some research, but I’m lost. I’m wondering, is this scenario my teacher posed negative or positive punishment: Two kids are fighting over a toy, the mom sends them to time-out to decrease their behavior. I thought it was negative punishment, because you’re *removing* the toy and sending them to time-out to decrease their behavior, but my teacher said that it’s positive punishment, because you’re “Adding time out.” My logic was that the mother is removing the pleasant toy. I’m kind of confused sorry, I would appreciate the help!
