How Are You Feeling Right Now?

[cymbele]

Two things to note about today...
The first is that my cat has pancreatitis. I'm not sure what that means other than antibiotics and other meds. I'll find out Monday but after the memorial service I'm willing to let him go if peaceably.

The other thing was the memorial service was a beautiful honorific to the woman who died (my ex's aunt). Everyone welcomed me in spite of the divorce. The only awkward thing was where we got seated for the lunch afterward - I got seated by my ex who didn't have his current wife. And the family at the table i was seated at were all at odds with one another and very unhappy. But otherwise it was a pleasant day and I'm glad I went. I just wish it wasn't two hours away.

I hope your kitty is okay. Pancreatitis is rough but in humans at least it's treatable.

Feeling kind of low. My husband and I were talking about how we were younger in the 80s and 90s it seemed like there was a positive future for humanity. Now it just seems like everything is bleak. I realize full well that people have been predicting doom for thousands of years and I sure hope humans can still avert it. The problems is we are so divided about what the causes are and what should be done. I just finished writing a letter about REITs and housing to the federal government. I'm proud of it but I know it's just a drop in the bucket. People are furious that our PM let in a huge number of immigrants last year when there isn't enough housing to support that number, and rental prices are insane. I don't want to spark a political debate but I am very concerned about what's going on here, a lot of corporations buying up housing and profiteering. I don't really understand why young people aren't rioting over housing in the major cities. Vancouver has the world's highest real estate costs and Toronto isn't far behind.

Yet none of this involves me personally as we own our strata apartment with no mortgage. I guess I empathize because we spent so many years struggling, and I'm concerned by the amount of poverty and homelessness. But luckily my nephew and nieces are okay, with parents who have money and are willing to set them up with healthy down payments. I'm so very grateful to not have to worry about housing, even though we have other financial worries. I just wish I could feel more optimistic about the future.

The serenity... to accept the things I cannot change. I've made dozens of posts on political forums, written letters and that's about all I can do... besides vote. But sometimes it seems like all stripes of politicians are only interested in lining their own pockets, and something like 60% of politicians here own multiple properties so there's a conflict of interest over soaring real estate values.

I’m feeling scared, scared and empty

Sorry you are feeling this way. I hope you can find a way to feel better soon.

Like a piece of worthless shit who doesn't deserve the resources necessary to keep her alive.

Unmotivated... Also a bit physically ill which sure doesn't help.

I hope you're feeling better by the time you read this Lady.

one way my therapy controlled my anger: what would you do if you get invalidated while others aren't?

While I long for the weekends I do get lonely. I wound up not going to the birthday party yesterday. I try hard to fill the days.

Also, the pharmacist said there's no refills on one of my main meds so that has me nervous. I like my independence but my fiance wants me to move to Utah. He won't put me on his medical unless I do so because he doesn't want to get in trouble for fraud. This used to upset me big time. But now, I'm like whatever, I'll deal with it.

still in dark territory and probably will be for a while but i'm trying to not give up completely. i have to follow my own advice lol

mike

Sorry Mike..you're pretty resilient..hugs

I’m feeling pretty good today overall, looking forward to seeing my sis and friend tomorrow and will get to go for a bit of a drive which I’ve been wanting to do for weeks now.

Sending lots of big hugs to everyone here who is wanting or needing them, I admire everyone here soo much for being so strong, brave and all the other many positive qualities you all have. You are all very inspiring survivors so please try to never doubt your most priceless value and worthiness. If anyone is ever causing you to feel doubt about the truth of these things, it is pretty much always about that person and not about you. Please try to be as kind and loving to yourself as you can be, times are tough for many people in the world right now, but you are tough too.

wow..thank you so much for putting this..hugs to you..I hope you have a good drive..

 

[nicktheundoer]

Feeling like a non person. I heard my own voice and got surprised, like I didn't recognize it. Whatever I write here or think sounds silly or dumb.

No..nothing is dumb..hugs..

 

[nicktheundoer]

I'm not doing well right now either - you're in my thoughts.

I get the sense that your ex's aunt was a good person. And I'm sorry about the situation with your cat. But at the same time I'm glad you're willing to let him go if need be. I hate nothing more than seeing an animal in pain (or a human for that matter). I remember when we had to put my dog down back in 2010, I felt a great sense of relief. I could tell just by looking at her that she was in tremendous pain. And I was glad the pain was over. I hope you don't have to let your cat go, but I'm glad your willing to let him go. And I hope you cherish the time you had together.

I've gradually been having this realization that I think I'm in a much better place now than how I was this past week, several months ago and even last year.
