How Are You Feeling Right Now?

@Inastorm I never kknow what it means either, when someone posts only a full stop. @SillyOldBear if you can, care to elaborate? Please give us an update; I hope you're alright.

I'm very sleepy,because the non-stop noise from 5 pm until 1 am caused me a broken and too-short sleep.
My guess. They posted and decided they didnt want to post anyway. But since the site doesnt let u delete, they just put in a dot

Mixed feelings. I'm looking at the sea from the seaside cafe in the place I used to live. I'm happy I came - it's obvious why one day I spontaneously decided to live here and did for a couple of lovely years. But also kind of sad I'll be getting the train back down the coast to the (cheaper) place I'm staying and then back to the craziness tomorrow. Sad that spontaneous decisions to live here are now likely permanently in the past barring lottery wins. But happy that I plan to come back again. Crazy I left it so long to return for a visit but I had to reset the "I live here" feeling I think.

Did you get some nice walks along the beach and a nice bag of chips?, I'd say fish and chips, but you sound vegan or vegie from the 'what's for dinner' posts.

I've done over 50,000 steps the 3 full days here. In my favourite place in the world and my favourite cafe kept me supplied with chips and hot chocolates. No fish, I don't eat fish or meat but eat dairy if there's not much other choice - it's like 1972 in north Wales some of the new diets will take time to filter through! 😲

Since the fourth of July just started minutes ago there's something i feel i should say. I wasn't really sure where to put this message. But this thread seemed like the most appropriate place to put it. I know that in the past I've made some negative comments about my country. But here's the thing. If I wanted to, I could write a long list of things that are wrong with the United States and choose to have a negative attitude about my country for the rest of my life. But at the exact same time, I can also do the opposite. I could write a long list of things that are great about my country and choose to have a positive attitude about it. At the end of the day, a country is just a place where a bunch of people live. In any country, some of these people will be real assholes and even evil. But there are also a lot of great people in the world. I'm not sure what the ratio of good to bad people are in the world, but a country is literally just a bunch of people. And these people come in different flavors. Whatever country you live in, it's completely understandable not to appreciate the government of that country. But not everybody in the world is a part of the government. I'm pretty sure that if you go to any country, whether we're talking about a place like Canada or a place like North Korea, there are probably good people there. I guess what I'm trying to say is that there's a big difference between loving your government and loving your country. Anyways if you're a citizen of the United States I hope you have a good Fourth of July. And if you live somewhere else I hope you have a good day.
To love your country, your home, and to think it can be better are not mutually exclusive.

I think the US has done a poor job of living up to the standards on which we were supposedly founded, but I think those same standards provide a roadmap toward doing/being better.
 
I should have kept my username as ''toomuchreality'', because that's how I always feel. I cant get interested in things that are fun, or light, or just daydream. I meant in real life sometimes even though I might hear back from someone, I wonder how true the care is for me. And the hard part with my son, is knowing he wants in here to be comfortable, he doesn't understand it hurts be to put my foot down and say no more. He texted some awful stuff about me. I don't understand how he can say I only care about myself, I'm doing this so he will grow up. I've had to say ''someday I'm not here anymore and you have to look after yourself and stand on your own 2 feet''.... this is the tough love. I can't go back anymore, it confuses him. Yet I feel like shit again.
 
I feel embarrassed. I just realised how easy it would be for my colleagues and superiors to access my full psychiatric records and patient notes if they wanted to. I hope that they haven’t done it… I wouldn’t be able to look them in the eye if I knew that they knew my most personal problems.
