How Are You Feeling Right Now?

[AvidFan]

Tired but elated. After watching the laptop I wanted for months on end, I finally bought it. When I first saw it, it was £399 and I thought I'd buy it. When I went back it had gone up to £429 so I waited and waited, and it went up to £469 for the last month. Last week I saw it still at £469 but there was a 15% off promo. I was tempted. However, today I checked and the price had dropped to £429. With the 15% off that was down to £364 and I got £5 of loyalty points too so I basically got the new laptop for £360 I'll pick it up on Monday! In the meantime my current laptop is working perfectly, but seeing as 80% of my work depends on a laptop it will nice to get a new family member and I'll at least have a working spare. Laptop death without a spare is stressful!

Oh and I don't actually have to pay for it until next October as I got it on 12 months interest free so I can also earn interest on the £360 for a year. The gift that keeps on giving! 🤣🤣🤣

 

[Holding my breath]

I'm so sorry to hear you feel this way. I believe in kindness but not sure I would stay in a marriage to someone out of that kind of obligation. You have a right to enjoy your life as well. He sounds emotionally abusive. Please don't allow yourself to get injured or sick because that would only make things worse for you. You deserve respect and consideration, and any man who doesn't show that doesn't have the right to your attention. I get that he is no doubt caught up in his own pain and struggles but marriage is reciprocal and it shouldn't be one person doing all the conceding and support.

I find it difficult to accept that he may have my issues himself. Perhaps I need to become more aware and supportive of this. I just wish he wouldn’t take it out on me and make me feel so small and insignificant and always in the wrong. He can do everything far better than I can. 😕 xx

Hm. It's good to be supportive, but he should also be supportive of you and not running you down.

Congratulations - hope it turns out to be a reliable and powerful machine. I once read a book called "Zen Computer" that was quite an offbeat and interesting view of computers and suggested bowing to your computer each day as you would bow to a worthy adversary in martial arts. I still do it sometimes. lol.

I am so sorry @total eclipse . I have been aware of you since I joined many years ago. I hope that life lifts its heavy burden on you.

Sorry @Holding my breath -- I'm sorry you're having to go through this...

This is quite embarrassing but also a bit humorous. And might be a little TMI but...ok, so I have a yeast infection. And I have miconazole in my medicine drawer. It usually comes with 3 doses plus a cream to ease symptoms. The cream looks like a small tube....so does my Poligrip, a denture glue. And guess which one I used...twice. Yep. I put freaking denture glue on my genitalia. What a moron. The weirdest part of all is I still felt a bit better. God still healed me I believe. Who knows what that could have caused.

😱 This sounds like something I might do, I once squirted shaving foam all over my armpit thinking it was the spray-on deodorant and also recall once thinking my toothpaste tube felt a bit big as I squeezed diclofenac gel onto the toothbrush 🤣🤣🤣

I shouldn't laugh but...

Life changing injuries sounds perfect right now. I wish I could just take myself away and never come back.
Contemplating divorce. Crazy that the reason I wouldn’t divorce him is that it would leave him with nothing. He’d have enough money for a house and he had a job etc, but he wouldn’t have the family, the kids, the companionship. He has no friends, no life outside of me, which is why I can’t understand why he treats me like a child, why he can be so angry and why I am so scared to ask him to do anything. If I ask I am told how much it will cost, how long it will take and then he will complain for the entire time how difficult it is and the toll it’s taking on him. He will repeatedly tell me why this was a bad idea, or why this will never work, or why I was wrong. I am always in the wrong. I am always wrong.

He sounds like my ex husband. As much as I loved him (still do), his constant put downs, dismissing anything I suggested, making me feel small and stupid took its toll on me. I couldn't let it put me back where I was mentally a few years ago, as much as I love him I needed to protect myself. Since I left he has retreated even further and I do worry about him. But I've tried for so many years to get him to seek professional help but he refuses. Ultimately it was the best thing for me to do for myself and even though I worry about him I feel so much better in myself not having to walk on eggshells around him out of fear of him blowing up at me.

You can't live your life for someone else. You deserve happiness and to put that at risk out of duty to someone who treats you so badly will wear you down. At some point they have to take responsibility for their own life.

This week has being so hard. Feel so emotionally and physically drained. Kind of feeling like I should give up and I don't want to be here anymore. I won't of course. But the feelings are hard. Feel like a failure

I'm annoyed that I can never get enough sleep.

 

[Lady Wolfshead]

Thanks Mike. I've always needed 9-10 hours of sleep each night to feel rested, but maybe now that I'm not taking medications I need less sleep? I got 8 hours last night and feel okay. I'm just not used to being an early riser but it does fit nicely with my new Stoic morning routine.

Currently sitting in the back of the car, deliberately without a seatbelt because I don’t care any more.

please use your seatbelt. a car accident can be a horrible thing to cope with. most likely if you're involved in a bad car accident you will be severely injured and not die. and if you did die and another car is involved then they have to live with your death on their shoulders. please seek help so you will want to live and be there for your family and friends

tired but doing great. i was hoping to take my wife out for a good day today. i took her to a few stores, the flea market and to end the day took her to get lobsters, we got enough for supper and a seafood chowder next weekend. of course we had fun cruising. i did a small light to light race ( light traffic so safe ) and beat a newer dodge charger with a 5.7 hemi. i played a lot today but not much speeding. what amazes me is i've been driving for 50 years and never got a speeding ticket, well not yet lol

You know that kind of thing is common. I found myself trying to put an anti fungal cream on my toothbrush once!
