How Are You Feeling Right Now?

[AvidFan]

I did just contact the government branch that handles these matters and am waiting for a response. 3 months seems like an awfully long time for someone to be holding onto my own money after I left my job.

It's a different (and in my opinion shady) company that now holds our employer's pension. The change was done in the past year. Previously it was held by a reputable investment firm but they were under-bid by another company I guess.

Gah, these corporations and finance systems! 😡

I am OK. Sad about the world but my own little bubble is OK. I think the upped amitryptiline I've been taking to sleep better has had secondary antidepressant effect. Or maybe it's just the extra cushion of a bit of financial security compared to this time last year. Anyway, got the weekend coming and a pretty easy time of working when I choose until next Thurs and Fri which are both a bit manic. But the new job is going great and means I'm commuting a lot less which is always good!

scared and very uneasy. a significant part of the state is either under a shelter in place order or use extreme caution if you go out. of course this whole thing started with a man that had significant mental health issues and wasn't properly treated. i hope they catch the guy soon so we can feel at least a little safe

sorry you're going through this and others as well.

Sick and tired of seeing the American hate on here. This country funds the western worlds free shit while we suffer and cant afford to help our own, who actually need it. I hope you read this @Lady Wolfshead before they delete it because there are specific threads for politics and this ain't it.

@Astrid78, You can vent, but let’s play nice. No need to be bringing anyone else into the discussion. It’s good to see that you stick up for, and believe in your country. Just try to understand that others are hurting as well. And I just don’t want to see the same happen to you for any reason. Have a good day!

Stay safe Mike. Do you live very close to Lewiston? My guess is that this guy has fled the state or taken his own life and his body lies somewhere in the woods.

Well, I was directly replying to that person's post. Hence the tag. Which wasn't to you. Playing nice applies to everyone on here, not just me.
Good day.

Sorry to have missed it Astrid78—to have misread & misinterpreted things & you, I am sorry. Take care~

I hope things get taken care of very soon with this situation so some kind of normalcy and safety is restored

I will say a prayer for you all. Hope you're kept safe.

thank you @Bergerac

Stay safe and I hope it will feel safer soon. These things are truly awful, the closest I can relate is when a suicide bomber killed 22 people at the arena in my home city and there were some scary days as it wasn't known if another bomber was out there. But in the UK these things are still relatively rare and usually one offs. Different story in US unfortunately. Stay safe ❤️❤️❤️

thank you. of course people are remaining cautious but they think he is headed for the border so we should be safe

that is what we were thinking, so cautious but not scared. lewiston is around 50 miles away but he mentioned saco maine which is only a couple of miles away.

A little sad. We were supposed to have guests this afternoon, so I made the house presentable and prepared biscuits and tea for their arrival, then fell asleep in the living room, waiting for them for 3 hours, while they changed their plans and will come late in the evening. I could've done something nicer with my day.

 

[Auri]

I'm going to have all the biscuits and tea by myself now.

Doing an exercise in Stoicism today and spending the entire day without complaining once about anything. Note that the ancient philosophy of Stoicism (now making a resurgence) is not the same as the modern meaning of the word and does not mean suppressing your emotions.

I was so delighted when I went to reserve a book by Ryan Holiday through my library and found out that ALL of his books have many holds and a waitlist. He is a modern teacher of Stoicism. So, I will wait, gladly, to read his books, and will likely buy some when I can. I watch his free YouTube videos every day and subscribe to his Daily Stoic email.

I'm psychotically listening to the songs I've made again and again...
I still have to meditate today and do mantras... I'll probably do that at midnight...
It wasn't a bad day at all, I just feel psychotic for some reason... I wonder how it is for a normal person - I can't remember anymore, maybe it's placebo but I do feel weird so probably it's not

Do you suffer from anxiety? Sometimes I convince myself how I feel is not normal but actually I think it's my anxiety talking.
