There was a shooting a few nights ago in front of my house and I was on my way out to see a friend when something told me to go grab something inside so I turned my car on and went back inside and came out again after 10 seconds and saw a car slow down and start shooting across the street. I got down and ran inside to tell my family to get down. I’ve experienced a lot of childhood trauma and certain loud noises do trigger me and put me in an uneasy state but ever since that night I feel like I’ve been a lot more anxious and paranoid lately. I feel that if I wouldn’t of made that last minute decision I would have been caught in the middle of it. I can’t help but to look over my shoulder and everytime I see a car like the one I saw that night, I can’t help but to feel like running or hiding. I don’t know what’s going on with me. I was having some regular life issues before this but nothing that has made me feel like this. What’s happening to me? Is this normal?

Ive eaten eggs all my life practically almost everyday and I love them but all of the sudden earlier this year I started to feel sick out of no where, stomach ache, headache, nausea, and I even threw up the last time I ate it. That was a few months ago and I haven't eaten it out of fear of getting sick but I miss it cause it was one of my main sources of protein throughout my day. is there any way to get rid of it or make it better ? thanks !

I turned 20 in February :)

Im a 20 year old college student and I've been focusing on school for these past months but recently I decided that I wanted to work again because my savings from previous jobs were starting to run low. I don't have much financial responsibilities and I'm still living with my parents, I was looking and then this corona outbreak happened. Do you think I should move forward and find a job or wait for my safety? Thanks !

What are your thoughts on a Epiphone Les Paul 2004 plus top pro made in china? Similar to a Gibson or no?

You know, cause of this virus making everyone scared of going out, do you think they'll let us pass for the semester? My little brothers school is closing for a month lol

I just turned 20 a few days ago and it hasn't hit me yet but do you believe that 20 is old? what would you tell your 20 yr old self? I feel ancient lol

This is a controversial topic because a lot say that it isn't since they are both consenting adults but others say it is predatory because a 19 year old hasn't experienced/ matured like a 29 year old. what are your thoughts personally?

I'm buying a car before I start college and I have 2 choices, a 2016 Toyota Camry se or a 2016 Honda Civic lx. Which would you advise me to choose and why? which one is the most reliable and gives you a bang for your buck? they are both similar in prices and mileage. Thanks in advance!!

I have been planning on buying a 2017 Honda Civic sport hatchback *1.5L 4-cylinder (I recently asked about engine type and was mistaken lol) but I've been doing some research and read about the problems those kind of engines were having, specifically turbo charged where gas mixes with the oil and eventually causing catastrophic failure in the engine. Honda said that its rare but ive been reading forums after forums of people having this problem. 2016-2018 are at risk to have that problem though people said you can avoid it by using fully synthetic oil and changing it every 5000 miles and checking your oil regularly for gasoline smell. The car im trying to buy has about 19000 miles and its not from a Honda dealer so its not certified and im kind of worrying that this car will have this problem. Those particular "earth dream" 1.5L engines from Honda have had those problems and I dont want to make a mistake buying this car although I really like it. Is oil dilution a possibility for this car? Should I look for another car? What are ways to avoid it? Though Honda said it only happens to some people who live in colder areas, ive read of people who live in Texas having the same problem. Help!Thanks so much in advance. 

I live in VA and it is supposed to hit us bad supposedly and I don't know how to prepare. my parents aren't really taking it too seriously but hey you never know, I was planning on picking up some last minute items that could be of help if things would go south. Any advice? AND WHY IS THERE NEVER ANY MILK OR BREAD WHEN A STORM IS APPROACHING lol Thanks in advance.

I sprained my ankle about two weeks ago and it was really bad while I was running, I could barely walk and I haven t trained since the day before that. I m going on week two and my ankle is feeling much better but still kind of unstable. Would it be smart to go back to the gym and weight train again or will I injure myself again? what should I do? thanks in advance.

I‘ll be in the kitchen avoiding family drama having lots of hot chocolate and cookies. What will you be having?

I start community college in a few weeks and missed my recent semester cause since I was in high school I cared for my little brother while my parents worked. now mind you that at the time that I did I had recently gotten out of a mental hospital so I was free all day since I was getting homeschooled where a teacher would come over and do work with me. I was 16 then but when I did go back to school I didnt have to take on that responsibility and it was refreshing because I struggled with it,I was going through a lot and I had to take on basically having a child.I graduated and my plans for college were to do community.everything was fine until I decided that I wanted to do AM classes but my parents were expecting me to babysit my brother again..we had this huge disagreement and I was left with no choice but to miss my semester cause I had no way to get to school,they refused to help me.They agreed that they wouldn't put me through this again that whole deal with who would watch him would be taken care of. a few days ago they asked me how I scheduled I scheduled my classes,I said im doing mornings so I have time for a sport in the afternoons and all hell broke loose they starting saying I can't do that dont i love mybrother I have to watch him that thats why im getting a car and it just really put me down because ive been watching him for months now, no human contact whatsoever.I have been planning for months on what I'll be doing during my day,what should I do? im 18

I'm 18 and I start college in January (community) and my parents have been kind of breathing down my neck about choosing a career but the though of doing one thing for most of my life makes me extremely anxious. I've expressed to my family that I want to have more than one skill and do more than one thing like build my own house one day, build things, change my own oil, help people, make music, do a sport, have my own business ect. I know and acknowledge that I cannot do all of it in one but they just tell me that I'm being unrealistic and compare me to my cousins who are majoring in neurology, computer science, business, biology etc and telling me that I'm indecisive and a lost cause. I may sound indecisive but I just don't want to limit myself to doing or being one thing in life. what are your thoughts? have you ever done more than one thing or had more than one career? two? three? thanks in advance !!

I live in the dmv area and I heard its supposed to hit us too but we'll see. how are you preparing ?

theres this girl in one of my classes and I can't really tell if she's into me or if shes being friendly.we're doing this thing in class where we are assigned units and have to teach the rest of the students and every time she's up there teaching we make eye contact and she doesnt break her gaze but continues to stay on topic thought maybe it was because shes nervous but throughout her lessons she interacts with all the students without a problem but when we make eye contact its just this really intense gaze. when I walk into the room I can see her shift her attention from her friends to me from the corner of my eye. we have only talked a couple of times about why I don't come to class often and my reasons are mostly mental health related stuff so she offered to be someone I could come to if I ever needed to talk but shes that kind of person with everyone,always so caring.the only thing is after she said that I gave her a hug and it lasted a few seconds longer than a normal hug you'd get. her cheek was pressing against mine and I could feel how hot she was turning cause maybe she was blushing? or shes just really warm lol.I've caught her looking at me a couple of times and when I did she did this thing where she blinked really fast and looked away kinda like a twitch but then again she could have been zoning out.sometimes she says have a good day and pokes my arm until I look up at her.. does she like me or is she being nice? I've caught her blushing only a handful of times
