Hi Guys,

What is the medical insurance cover in impetus?

I created this bowl because I did not see one like it in Fishbowl. I feel that sometimes we don’t express how we feel because we are ashamed. Having a space where we can anonymously share what we are going through can be helpful as other can share what they are doing to keep a healthy mind. I, myself, am dealing with what I think is depression or anxiety caused by my current job, and I just don’t feel like I can just express myself to those I know, so I created this bowl. Let’s help each other 😀

I have to support my family financially. Usually my mom cooks for the family so groceries only cost $1200/month. However, my mom is abroad for 2 months so it’s just my siblings and they can’t cook so they’ve been using my card for doordash. I think there are days when they spend $100+/day. It’s frustrating because my mom already told them the daily budget repeatedly. I’ll go bankrupt at that rate. However, it’s not like I can take my card back since I don’t want them to starve…

I have so many friends getting engaged and I just feel... anxious since I am SO single. I'm 27, and I know I'm at that age where people do but it just sucks.
