How Are You Feeling Right Now?

Feeling really empty and getting mental dissociation where everything doesn't feel right. Kind of like my previous life, though I complained and was also really depressed, wasn't nearly as bad as now and I should have been more grateful for it. However, when I think like that, a voice in my head goes, hang on a minute, I don't think its fair to aim that self petty at me and while I made mistakes, I don't think you deserve all the shit your currently experiencing, so stop blaming yourself!

Its like a boxing match inside my head and I don't know who to root for.

How you doing today?, is the roof holding up?
Today has been a blur. Had work video calls which filled up the afternoon, now I somehow have to clean up ready for the plumber coming tomorrow. Of course the toilet is now pretending it's fine intermittently. I went for a run earlier and glanced at the roof. The bit I was worried about looked better, but could swear I could see a missing slate at the other side - after paying £2k for someone to go up and fix all that shit. Then again I was anxious about the other bit and it might be fine. My eyesight is bad these days so I might just be seeing things. It hasn't actually rained for days so I've no actual idea, it normally rains every day here. I'll have to wait and see. On to my next chore now, I have to go to the supermarket and get some basic stuff, later I'll try to eat after sorting out all the bins, I wanted to do a bit of resting and watch something this evening but it keeps getting pushed back.

Hope you are doing OK!

All is more or less really running good - but I am ashamed, that I need to see the doctor today to get medication for my 4 weeks in Africa. I really try hard now - during this vacation to get off it (or at least reduce it substantially). I hate this. But if the power stays I have for the moment, it might work. And my wife takes care of me (kicks my ass). Have to walk every day 20 KM in 40 degrees, no food (only juice and tea) - I am sure even if I reduce I will sleep well. Wish me luck. I want all this to end - getting to old for this shit - depression, suicide ideas - what the heck? I have enough income, a small apartment on both sides (EU and AFR) and the nicest woman you can find. So...? I must be stupid.
you are NOT stupid

Worn out. Just been through a 3 hour ordeal with the plumber. Replaced the flushing thing altogether in my toilet. Still have a minor drip from tank to bowl, but we had to admit defeat and agree to watch and wait to see what happens. Mentioned the loose taps, I thought there would be a simple fix, in the end he had to install new mixer tap altogether which entailed dismantling the entire piping system under the sink.

Fed up. After wasting all afternoon on this, my boiler now fires when the cold taps are turned on. Doesn't heat the water, it just fires up as if it thinks it needs to heat water, then goes off again. Never did that before. So I try to fix one thing and 3 more problems arise, it's like dealing with a fucking Hydra. I've fucking had enough. My life is nothing but firefighting and not sleeping, 24/7. Fucking pointless, I can feel the damage all this stress is doing to my body and there is no way to stop it, because stopping just causes financial collapse so I'm completely trapped 😢

ETA: I think I fixed the fucking issue, I had to go around running every tap in the house to rebalance the water pressure, now finally seem to be able to run the cold water without the boiler coming on 🤷
