How Are You Feeling Right Now?

[1964dodge]

Feeling as if those close would be better if I wasn’t around

those that are close to you would be hurt by your passing. they would be better off if you stayed.

I feel like I deserve all of this pain and sadness, and I probably do. It's my own fault that things are like this.

you do not deserve all of your pain and sadness. we all make mistakes but you have to learn from mistakes and move on. try to forgive yourself for the mistakes and work toward a more positive future

mike...

 

[1964dodge]

The point is they may not be close after what has triggered all of this. Sorry my mind is so mixed up.

Worried that I'm raising my kids to be kind, respectful independent critical thinkers. I don't think they are going to fit in very well when they go out into the world. I should just give them screens and send them to school. But I just cant.

teaching your kids to be kind and respectful will serve them well in their adulthood. as negative things come up you can help them through it and teach them to be self sufficient and realize that not everyone is good

i understand. Raising 3 alone i always felt that way... however, somehow... i always was. now that i'm not needed anywhere or by anyone.... i'm never enough.

I think you are and that you're a lovely person.

55 gallons for a turtle, what a good turtle parent! I hope your new provider works out in the long run, there's only one other here in my area than Xfinity and it has such bad reviews I cancelled the set up appointment I made. What happened to the tailgate??
Give the year another chance at least for a few more days.......

i bought mine at tmobil because i have 24 monthly paymets and i have been with tmobile for 12 years. it's a galaxy s23 and it's a great phone. our biggest problem of course is getting used to it. except for a couple of things my son will have to help me with i am doing ok with it. we only change phones when we have to so we want the newer technology so they won't be too obsolete in a couple of years. we don't like to keep changing phones to be hip lol. our old phones had between 1 and 2 hours before they went dead after a full charge.

mike....

That's the one thing I have Is my cell phone with TMobile. The rest like tv, computer, landline I have to have with Xfinity. Doesn't feel American to me to be trapped into using a company, lol......
And my phone is going on 5 or 6 years now, I'm like you.....when it dies is when a new one happens......

thank you janis we have no idea. my wife tried to open it yesterday but couldn't. it probably just popped open. worst thing is we have a major snowstorm starting tonight. i hope my son can close it if not i can take it off. i have 2 choices how i handle things. with everything piling up on me i can get depressed, let anxiety get bad and bitch and moan ( i have a right to this week lol) or i can rollwith the punches and weather the storm until things calm down. i'm trying the latter

Great and preferred Idea to roll I had to replace the set up on my truck tailgate a couple of years ago. It just stopped working one day....have no idea either as to why. Old truck I guess it was just its time. I hope your son is successful with it. I heard this morning about the snowstorm headed your way, be safe and warm.

i thought about tmobil for internet, it would be nice for internet and cell to be together. i have great service with tmobil but heard a lot of nightmare stories about tmobile internet. i was surprised about fidium. they have great reviews but their parent company has bad reviews, weird lol

mike....

 

[Livelife]

That's a new company to me, Fidium Fiber. They don't have that one here. I've been with Tmobile for years for the cell phone and it's fine. But Tmobile here doesn't do internet, we really are out of the loop in my area which is surprising and weird because it's basically Houston metroplex. Go figure.....

right now there are more companies getting into the broadband market, which is good for competion. we had spectrum and after my $30 conectivity discount we are still paying a little over $70 a month. fidium is a fibre network and i get the same 300 mps as spectrum ( spectrum doesn't even come close to 300 mps) for around $35 a month , omce i change my connectivity discount i'll be paying around $ 5 to $10 a month for a year then it goes up $10. every once in a while check what is available in your area, when you find one you like check the reviews

I check every single year. Especially again a second time this year after the notice last week that prices were going up again, that's Xfinity/Comcast's annual increase.

The detail of it here is that Frontier just tore up our neighborhood yards last year in Sugar Land and connected up their system.
So now there is a whopping 2 companies available for the internet or tv programming. (That isn't dish related)

My dad, who lived less than 1/4 mile away, was able to have AT&T, they still do in that neighborhood...it's an enigma here in a Houston area, definitely what I would call a MONOPOLY or close enough to it.

I wish I knew how to set up and stream to just obtain Some of the 100 plus channels I get. I just have no idea how to make that happen as no one independently seems to offer services for setting some one up. You should see all the complaints on the Neighborhood FB site.

I can't even say out loud how much I pay for services. Even bundled, that supposed price saver is a joke. I don't know another way to have tv or the internet. I'd pay good money to have someone help me set things up.

I am really glad to see the pricing you are obtaining. What a deal and Good for you!

Thanks,
Janis

 

[Holding my breath]

Highly strung and manic but not in a good way. I’ve been given an urgent referral to the mental health team to get a medication review. I had been quite stable, but since the death of my Dad, my brain has decided to go back into overdrive. Doesn’t make life easy when I can’t settle or relax, but instead I am constantly flitting from one thought to another, forgetting the end of the sentence I started and it feels like there is spaghetti junction in my head. I need someone or something to put the brakes on so that I can slow down.

 

[SillyOldBear]

Xfinity/Comcast is a giant rip off. I wish I could dump them!

Flight mode... i don't have any fight left within me. i just want to flee and disappear forever.

 

[Livelife]

I agree.

After searching for a day and calling and talking with every company that showed up in Google over a week ago, I ended up making an appointment with the only other company available to my neighborhood, Frontier. With their sales pitches I found something comparable to what I have and it turned out about $50 less a month. It was less of what I have actually but I would take anything at this point.......And then I went and read (lots of) reviews which were nasty. I had been hearing bad about them since they went in the neighborhood this past year but their service apparently is nonexistent after they grab ya. People getting started with them and then losing service multiple times for 4, 5, 7 days and not being able to get a hold of anyone to help. And then also being told it would be days or more to get "fixed".
At least with Xfinity there is only occasional disturbance and then they are decent usually about getting things handled. I just can't afford their prices and when I got the letter that the usual annual increase would start this month it just blew my top. It feels so helpless for this to be how it is.

I'm sorry to hear that you are having apparently a similar situation and trap....

So sorry to hear of this @Holding my breath - is the wait a long one for the referral to the urgent (or I guess that answers that question, so never mind!). Um, I hope they can help you get this all sorted out as I can't imagine what that must be like to be struggling with these symptoms. So here's hoping for some speedy & immediate relief from them (then). In the meantime, I'm hoping you can find some activities to help ease yourself along, somewhat anyway. Sometimes, on here the game room helps me, but others like things like chat. Whatever you find works for you, that is what I would do. Not that you haven't tired, but I hope you can at least get some decent sleep. That might be a good to great start. Hopefully, I hope... Take care! -mr. b
