How Are You Feeling Right Now?

Mine scares/startles me sometimes too, and I actually really like the ringtone! I guess it's just cos it feels like the "sound" from it kinda blasts at me outta nowhere. I wish it would start quieter and then get a bit louder or something like that, would probably startle me a lot less. Hopefully in the future they'll make the ringtones be more like that (or at least, give us the option to have them like that! lol).
Tysm for the hugs seabird, they're always welcome for me for sure! 
(((( Lots of big hugs back )))) (If you're wanting them that is) and hugs for all who are wanting them too 
Wishing everyone a nice day, and to those who are feeling down, sad, confused, upset, worried or otherwise discontent in some way, I hope you will feel those things less soon and be feeling happier instead

Oh oops, just realized I didn't say anything about how I'm feeling right now lol. Well I'm kinda feeling a lot of things, as usual.
Annoyed - Cos I have to go and get some dumb chores done (woulda been nice if my mom had perhaps taken care of them last night, it was quite warm though), and also a bit pressured to "get them done" so I can get on with all the other things I'm wanting to do.
A bit scattered - Not very sure "why" though so that's also annoying me a bit. I mean I finally have my Friday planned out now in terms of when we have to be leaving, checking out the cool fast food place I've been wanting to go to for over a bloody year now, and then getting where we gotta go to meet my sis after. But ya it is maybe partly cos of the heat too, it definitely doesn't bring out the "best" in me, and from some other posts I've read in here over the last couple days it sounds like it is quite unpleasant for others to deal with too, so that at least helps me feel "comforted" with it somewhat, cos of feeling less "alone" with it I mean. Hoping the heat will die down for all of us very soon so we can all sleep better/easier.
Excited - That I'll be getting to visit with my sis for a couple days at her place. Just really wishing it could be for the "whole" visit but I want to honor what I said I'd do with visiting over at my grandparents too. My sis is just a WAY better host than they are so ya I end up feeling a lot more welcome, and also relaxed, when I'm at her place. Least I'll only be at my grandparents for 1 day instead of bloody 3 like it was gonna be at first. I never wanted to go back for a long visit there like that (it is long when being around them, especially since we don't even end up going anywhere or doing much of anything. Flipping BORING!) so ya I'm really glad it will only be 1 day now. Maybe that will help clue them in that we need to be having some special things planned to go out and do and not just be at the house all the bloody time ffs. Ya I guess I was a bit annoyed at them for that but maybe it's unfair of me I dunno. Anyway don't wanna be negative about that, it will at least only be 1 day at their place, just really hoping they won't nag me about "staying longer" or "when I think I'll want to come back again" ugh ya I would definitely appreciate it if they would just let ME initiate it, cos believe me, if I wanted to go back, they would know (as in, I would just SAY it myself, they would never have to be asking me about it lol).

They do care, not about you, but about how much money they can make. I have good insurance, so they kept me as long as they possibly could. If they can’t make $2,000 off you per night to confine you, then they send you home. It has nothing to do with the patient’s experience or outcome, it’s just about the money.
It is unfortunate that the system that exists, exists. To go voluntarily to try & get help/be admitted for inpatient and then to be denied & shut-down; because they... don't believe you (how serious you are)? Or, they don't have a bed space (or nursing staff) available. Etc. You shouldn't have to beg & get help for treatment. And it does seem a bit of a game, or waiting gamble on their parts, or behalf's, given that - they've got their standards for admittance, of course. Yes, but they also are a bit like a restaurant or hotel that is trying to gauge & judge the numbers how & what to make available (& therefore, more or most likely in order for you to have better or worse, chances of being granted permission to come in & get help). Which, as reports have been shared, can vary widely--& greatly. They need to keep some space for the REAL EMERGENCIES , Crises, etc.*~/> but whatever... & however or why-ever, the reason, specifically that they did not accept you. I am sorry. It requires an examining Dr. or somebody with proper/precise training. To read you properly. And to assess your level of threat, of or at, taking your own life, or someone else's. And there can be great mistakes made, sometimes. I hope you don't let this deter, or deflate you. And cause further unwarranted/unwanted damage. For you've suffered already--enough. And now, in addition to any kind of ongoing care you may be getting from your mental health team (psychiatrist/psychologist, etc.), you deserve to relax a little bit, and take a break from all of the intensity that has occurred in your life. Both emotionally/mentally/physically/physiologically, etc. ~so I will wish you the best. Don't give up, and keep trying!
Downtown is 20 miles away from me. The winds are already getting past 50 mph. I’m on the sw side of Houston proper. Eye of storm hitting here by early morning. I’ve been through this situation multiple times but being alone brings it’s own nervousness especially without electric or ability to relocate. My street is already flooding… candles and flashlights nearby. 8-12 inches rain by tomorrow. It’s funny, I kept getting internal messages of rain last week and here we are. Im so glad I don’t have trees in the backyard any more or large ones in the front…just jabbering here, nice to talk with someone I know right now👍🏽☺️

Sounds pretty miserable. I have been watching the Weather Channel and what they say about it. You seem to loose electricity entirely too often. It amazes me that they want us to rely on it even more. Just stay safe!
