Anxious, but I found a local council website that lists trusted traders and have found another person to try contacting. The reviews all look good and it's a legit site so I will try this one. I mean, I have a small job to start with but there will be bigger jobs round the corner if I can find someone reliable. I am supposed to be getting some L-theanine from Amazon today, which might help with my anxiety. Just trying to soldier on.

My mind has that awful scrabbling around on ice feeling. Like it can't take hold and is all over the place. Its 5 am here in Texas and I've been awake since 1:30 am. My sleep sucks atm.

I over ate yesterday, and am feeling guilty about that. It was nothing but laziness in not preparing the right foods. I know better. Also, why are all recipes, even the "healthy" ones made for 6 to 8 servings? I don't NEED 6-8 servings of ANYTHING!

There are a couple of situations among my friends here at the apartments that have me upset. They don't have to do with me directly, but injustice among people distresses me. Why are people so unkind to one another?

Financially I am in a bind because of some incredibly unwise shopping therapy this last Spring. I have a budget now and I am trying to stick to it, but I struggle to do that.

TLDR, sorry
It's difficult to cook for 1. In my house everyone cooks for themselves due to different diets and schedules. But I rarely cook anymore because it's hard to just cook for myself and going out for one can cost upwards of $30. I need to do a budget now too, no more going out to eat or at least not as much bc so much money is taken out of my pay for my health insurance that leaves me with peanuts. I've never been good on a budget, but it's worth a try. Thanks for the idea and inspiration Angie.

I'm not even sure how I feel tbh. Work I go to to do my job but I do get anxious there at times. I'm worried bcz my health insurance has changed and switching over my psychiatrist that stresses me out. My niece is still living with me, but is functioning very well and looking for work. The cat and dog are finally getting along!

I put this kiddie pool in the back to cool off. But the bottom is getting kinda slimy even though I put chlorine tabs in. Just trying something to keep myself cool and distracted. IMG_20240704_165820.jpg

All legitimate concerns, @Lane ! I guess it sounds like, while it could be better... It also could be worse~ (?)

Over-all, that is. New p-doc, and work concerns (like that) are not to be downplayed. . .

I’m really struggling. I just wanted to talk to other humans who might “get it”. I feel like a useless person. I am weak and can’t cope and let everyone down. I don’t know if I want to die so much as not exist. Everything feels too hard. And I’m so constantly tired. I feel trapped in a cycle that I can’t get out of. More to it than this but… I don’t even know what this place is for really. I’m just yelling into the void hoping someone might understand
that's essentially what this place is for. to be amongst, or among others who share your pain, and know/or understand how you feel. even if for different circumstances. some of the outcomes with feelings & symptoms from a mental health or illness standpoint, are closer (to being the same) or more universal. Hoping you can find some way to get some help, and even if that means professional. Welcome by the way, and please let us know if you have any questions! : ) -mrb.

Hardly surprised. Still struggling with ants, this time have squeezed bait into the crack in the skirting board, their piles of crap are obscene it feels like they're digging the house up. I kind of remembered I have home emergency cover on my insurance and it includes pest issues. Of course I looked it up and it covers cockroaches, hornets and wasps, along with mice and squirrels. Not ants. Of course not!

I’m feeling overwhelmed. I have been doing a lot of work on my coping skills this week and I thought I was getting myself evened out. But life decided to get harder. I’m glad for the practice I have been doing. I’m also a little hopeless that I’m ever going to be well, because once I get closer to the end of the tunnel, the light seems to get further away.

Sorry to hear that, I know that feeling, like you work to build up pace but the treadmill just keeps getting faster. 😢

Little pests! They are so annoying!

Hope you find a way to evict them!

I know the feeling of making progress, then BOOM life gets even more complicated. It sucks.

I hope you feel some hope soon. *hug

Welcome and glad you joined up with the forum. This is a good place to get to know and post back and forth with many people who do get it. I doubt you are a useless person at all and I am sure you will find lots of support here and we will try our best to show that you do have a place and possibly good advice to help you along. I hope that you continue posting and getting to know the forum.

Deflated. Got a reply from roofer. Going on holiday tomorrow, can he look in 2 weeks. Forgot it was that time of year. Suppose my house will just have to drown while the earth burns and the roofer gets a suntan. People have accused me of being negative and not trying at times in my life - but I often don't try because this is the kind of thing I expect. An uphill battle! Suppose I should be at least grateful they replied, even if the window guy is busy until "maybe next week" and this roofer is off on a jolly. Alright for some!

Yesterday was tough. I felt restless nearly all day. Today seems to be better. I'm still waiting on this background check to start my job. I should probably try to enjoy my last few days resting before I get it, but I'm constantly resting, so that's a bit difficult to do. Yet, I know as soon as I start work I'll probably become overwhelmed. But what can you do when both ways feel imperfect. I guess it's supposed to be.
