How Are You Feeling Right Now?

[puffymilk]

Still pretty bad

I've taken up painting and it's going well. I thank God that He blessed me and I have the chance to learn a new skill, which makes me happy. Therefore, I listen to the Bible while painting and it not only helps pass time but it actually makes me joyful. I thank God for taking away my sorrow and emptiness.

Someone has offered to find a role for my friend in one of the local community groups. They have experience with dealing with others in the same situation and will inspire confidence. A little kindness goes a long way.

Well damnit, I have the poops. Probably a side effect to new medication.

Trying to deal with my anxiety levels also.

I got 2 or 3 hours of sleep. I'm just thinking of a night gown I got years ago that says 'sleep solves everything'... Sometimes I'm at the brink of insanity from my thoughts and dont sleep for several nights. It does help. I only woke up because the landlord needs to make cupboards or shelves or something for his gf. I was so and am so tired.

Woken up in the middle of the night. Now, I can't go back to sleep. Maybe later.

Maybe wearing that cute night gown would help. I hope you get more sleep. You need that. Please take care of your health.

Anxious on this Sunday. Tried to straighten up a little bit and now have to fill my day.

Loved watching "Mary Poppins", which has just finished.

Eek, I know those. But more so from detoxing off medication rather than a side effect. Still, no fun. I've ended up going in my pants that way at least 10 times per day, having to change clothes and wash them constantly.

Good movie. I liked it too.

Yes, it's lovely. Takes you back in time, and out of yourself.

Well, there's a couple of NFL play-off games on this afternoon - I know you said you don't like to watch, or follow it, but those are both excellent "time-wasters!" In the event you're looking for something to have on in the background and to try something a little different; sans the Thanksgiving festivities & whatnot (all that that brings, with respect to: 'extra curriculars!'). One is on at 3:30 pm on NBC, I think - & then the other is on at 6:30 pm on CBS. East Coast Time! (^;

 

[MrMojonski]

Knotted in the stomach. Work issue thinking about it all weekend which has spoilt any enjoyment.

 

[Holding my breath]

I'm sorry..I hope you recover asap..is there any possibility it could be covid? Take care..

Thank you. Started to feel a little better this afternoon. I did test for Covid but thankfully was negative. Xx

Definitely the latter part. I like movies like that. I watch fantasy movies and shows for that reason a lot.

Yes, me too.

i'm absolutely terrified right now. i have to report my grades to my father (i'm in engineering school) and i know they're absolutely disastrous. i just want to disappear. i'm probably not going to be able to finish my year because my grades are so low. i've done my best though.

I know that there is a tremendous amount of pressure by parents, on their children / or kids, to perform--& to perform, "Well" in school. For some, the expectations & standards are so unreasonable, or so unrealistic, that they can cause them to take drastic action. It's okay if you can't see it now, or if you already do and happen to disagree with their views & their handling of you. By exerting this pressure on you, they don't always help, but rather hurt and serve to hinder or be an impediment in matters (such as your forward successful progress). I think that, with time, grant it you can mange to hang in there that long--you will one day be able to look back on this and see precisely or exactly what it is that I mean by what I say (or am trying too - there's only 8 million distractions going on as I TRY to write/or type out one single sentence, let along word, without fault or flaw. . .). So anyway, just know that you are not alone. You can still always change majors, if you find or feel that this is not the right one for you. We often don't find that out until we try it out. And so, while not part of or according to our original plan, I don't know how it is these days, but back when I was in school, I think they said that around half of the people will change their majors at least one time, if not more, before graduating from college (18-22). Yeah, this is not a healthy fear to be having (or dreading/experiencing, etc.) in my opinion: the one you're feeling now, in regards having to 'report things (or your grades more specifically) to your father." And engineering school is about as tough as it gets. Only the smartest peers I knew went through (& made it, as in out towards graduation with degrees in hand) at or while during that time - of my life. Had I of graduated when I was supposed to (I didn't; I didn't even come close. . .) it would've been about gosh, let's just say well over 20 yrs. ago! So there you go~ / sometimes, with the benefit of time, hindsight will lend or yield much more favorable views on one's life (as in your own) than they do now - or currently. I'm sure right now you can't see past next week. And you feel like it's going to be the end of the world. I'm just here to try to tell you that that won't always be the case. And that you just might change your midn some-day. Best wishes to you @unhappybunny : )

I got a paint by number kit. Painting definitely takes patience when you're doing something detailed. But I think I'm doing a fine job for my first time. I've never even worked with paints before. But I picked out the thinnest brush that I could and it's turning out nice. Not perfect, but nice. Though, I didn't expect it to be perfect.
