Kill me
Today I'm anxious, exhausted, and struggling with my self-worth. Honestly might just go to bed early and try to sleep it off
Hope you rest well, I also struggle with my self worth lately
Thank you so much
feeling like my soul is mad at me for not picking up molotovs
Stagnation on my personal goals is a blight on my mood, but I'm otherwise okay. 75% okay is pretty good for me.
Reaching radicalization levels I never thought possible
Fight that fuckin system man
I'm not okay. My 14 year old doggy just died in my arms on Friday. She was my little best friend, had her since she was 3 months old when we adopted her from a shelter. My old girl was tough as nails, got diabetes the beginning of 2021, gradually went blind. I took care of her and now I don't know what to do with myself. I'm a little darker than usual on the inside now. I miss her.
Hey friend, I know this doesn't exactly help, but it will get better eventually. I lost my void of 19 years a few of years ago, and that was harder than losing blood family.
If you can stomach it, (and if not, wait for the initial hurt to pass then) try to have pictures of your girl or stuff you associate with her around you. It took me close to two years to come to terms with losing my old girl, but I can finally do this without immediately bursting into tears, and I'm so much happier now that I can. It's only the paw imprint, but it means a lot more to me.
Take care, and I hope you're doing well
Same as it ever was; shithouse.
I'm really angry. My oldest son's school sent me an email this afternoon lecturing me on his attendance and how it affects his grades and how it makes the school look bad, etc...
We had a few weeks off earlier this year when my grandfather and my mother-in-law died (both suddenly and unexpectedly) within two weeks of each other.
My younger son's school offered assistance, counselling and anything else that they could think of to offer. They were very supportive. My older son's school has just berated us for grieving and supporting each other, our friends and our family. I'm so fucking angry. They know that bereavement was the reason for his absence. Cunts.
Agreed, the cunts
Not good. Pretty sure I’ve lost my social circle. It’s my fault, for the most part. I think I’m better off alone, as far as having friends goes. I still have my son, who lives with me, so I’m not totally alone. As long as I have him, that’s all I need.
I asked for the dose of one of my meds to be increased. We’ll see if that will help things at all. Probably not. It would be nice to not really feel things, or at least feel them less. Like tranquilized in a way.
I have never felt so conflicted in my life ever before.
Very accurate. Just that I dont drink and instead have a pile of work for 10ppl I do by myself
I think I'm supposed to be dead, but mere alive because of Quantum Immortality.
Thete are 99% of timelines where I'm dead already, this is the only one left. My existence is an anamoly.

That's darkly solipsistic. Risky sort of thought to entertain. Life is chaos and it's all real. Just do your best and be kind to yourself, and others.
Just started my first vacation week, I'll be back in the salt mines next week, then I'll have two weeks off after that, I normally try and get four weeks off in a row during summer (legally employers here in Sweden have to grant you four continous weeks off during summer if you have enough days) but I took an early week off this spring and want to be able to take a week off during christmas as well
So, I am fine I guess...
Hey rotational work is hard AF man, sounds like cold work though being in a mine, it's currently 35⁰c here so it's hard to imagine
Personally I'm alright. Trying to not get too affected by the world falling apart. I have mixed feelings about my relationship with my gf. Work is going pretty well but I kinda feel like my career is stagnating. Could be better, could be a lot worse.
Not great, Bob!
Physically? Not great.
Mentally? Bad.
But existentially? Also quite unwell.
I'm dealing with the worst stomach flu of my life and I have a 10 hour train ride in a few hours. Wish me luck!
I would never 🫥
Ope, bring some bags!
Pretty bad. I found out recently that my roommate has been lying to me and spent the rent money I gave him on something else. He hid it from me long enough for it to be irreparable. I can't get my roommate to be honest with me, and the apartment management are refusing to share any information with me (despite me still being on the lease) and won't even accept a payment from me or even tell me what our debt is, so now I'm almost certainly going have to go to court soon to be evicted.
I'm bipolar, so usually a major event like like this would send me either into a manic or a depressive episode. But for the first time that I can recall, I've been finding myself going rapidly between the two states throughout the day.
I know I will be fine. But right now, I'm not fine.
What the hell? This is so unfair, especially since you are on the lease. Shouldn't they be happy someone is trying to pay the debt? To me it almost sounds a bit like your landlord and roommate may be scheming something... No idea what or why though.
That's unfair to you, and does sound a little bit illegal on their side NGL, good luck to you
Thanks, and I agree. I'm not sure what grounds they have to withhold that sort of information from a lessee on. The lack of information from all angles makes it really difficult to prepare, because I have no idea what I need to be preparing for. It's been a very difficult week. :(
Check and see if there's an organization in your area called Legal Aid. They're in the SF bay area (and other places) and they do a lot of landlord/tenant stuff pro-bono.
Tired and sore but not bad
Better than I deserve to be. Not because I'm a bad person. Just because I feel like everyone else has things pretty bad right now and I feel a little bad that I've got things pretty easy at the moment. But who knows, the universe could give me cancer tomorrow, so I'm grateful for the good in my life.
I’m like you, life has been going well for me. And I did get cancer! So remember, if you drink your milk and get good grades, you too may get cancer.
