But nevertheless, I like how he tells me that those medications make you sick and how they're not necessary and all that...yet, about half the bottle got taken it seems. And the only reason I noticed in the first place is because now they're out in the open all of a sudden...so apparently you DO take them when you need to, after all...and then judge me for doing it.
Ok look, sorry, but I'm not just going to sit there and humor your weird cultural misconceptions just to keep you people happy. My family believes all kinds of odd shit, like, a) putting raspberry preserves and/or honey in hot tea will help cure a cold/flu, b) cough medication will help cure a cold/flu, c) cold weather can make you sick....I could go on for freaking days, really...I keep getting told all kinds of weird shit, like to take vitamin C, and take this, and do that...like no, you freaking weirdos...I get that you care and want me better but that's not going to help anything FFS.
FACTS:
1. Cold weather does NOT make you sick. It weakens your immune system, which makes you more susceptible to catching a cold, but does NOT cause the cold itself.
2. There is NO CURE for the cold or flu. Or COVID. So neither cough medicine, nor seeing a doctor, nor eating weird foods or taking vitamins of any kind is going to make the ultimate difference in whether or not I get better...
These things help mask the symptoms. They help your throat feel better for a bit. Help you feel less congested temporarily perhaps. But they do not and will not cure it.
And also, antibiotics have absolutely NOTHING to do with anything here. This is a virus. Not a bacteria....
And I tell them this and supposedly I end up being the stubborn one FFS.

They can be mildly annoying at times, but I still know it's because they care, so I try to be nice about it...but it's like don't be sitting there getting mad at me because I won't do what you tell me and then try to come at me like it's my fault I'm still sick just because I haven't done what you said...that's not fucking cool.
Lol.
I just bought my brother a TV for new years as a gift, and a TV stand to put it on. He's literally the only one I know who doesn't have a TV in their house lol. Granted, I watch all my shit online and so does he, but figure this way, he can watch it on a bigger screen with a few HDMI hookups (which I got one of those Roku things for) and it comes with a free month of HBO Max, too, apparently. I told him, "now you can just talk to your TV, and tell it to turn on whenever you want"...he kind of looked at me like I had 3 heads lol. But then he's like, well, in that case, I want some games too...I was like motherfucker, I just spent several hundred dollars on this lol...if you want games, you're going to have to buy a game system first...with your own money this time, haha.

...when you go to bed, not because you're tired, but because just...tired.
Because you can't take being awake anymore right this moment. Because everything feels so empty and pointless, and you're alone.
And then, bonus: the more you cry, the more you feel like you're coughing up a lung again, so you can't even let yourself do that.
