How Are You Feeling Right Now?

More depressed. I’ve been feeling disgusted with myself after having gained a lot of weight over the last few months, which has actually demotivated me from going to the gym. I’m mired in a vicious cycle driven by despondency and self-loathing. The one thing I can count on is that I will inevitably get bored, or rather more bored than I’m willing to tolerate.
Hey, M. I've been through similar things lately. One day, I realized I gained about 20 pounds and also felt disgusted with myself. But weight comes off. I started eating less and next thing I knew I was back to a lower weight again. Sometimes our meds increase our appetite without us noticing. It's a very undesirable side effect, I agree. I only take very low doses of my meds now because I don't want to deal with the aftermath anymore. I realized that my "mood disorder" is tolerable enough without high doses of antidepressants and antipsychotics making things worse in the long run, and things have been better ever since. You're thin anyway, from what I recall. I wouldn't worry so much. And remember, you have people who love you no matter what you look like.

Enraged. So I applied for this additional work. After an interview I was accepted and requested to send in documentation. Did all that then I was invited to do a criminal background check with this weird Canadian company (I'm in the UK). I went to the link and filled my information out, submitted. All good I thought, then I got an email saying they actually want my signature written down, so I had to print out this form, fill it in, sign it, scan it, then scan other documents like passport, birth certificate, bills, etc, to prove my identity. I put it in a zip file, and sent it encrypted, then sent the password separately. I then got a response saying thanks for the password but my documents failed to upload. Upload where, exactly? Well, they clicked on my link (let's say I use ACMEmail.com) and it didn't lead to any documents. Of course it didn't I attached them and my signature just leads to the email provider. They said they couldn't see any documents. So I emailed them again. Two days later I get the original email again, as if none of this happened. When I write back, I get a reply in French that has nothing to do with any of it, addressed to someone else. Then finally the right person responds and says I didn't send any password. What the absolute fuck planet are these people on? I'm now thinking of pulling out of this, if they can't even manage basic internet, I don't trust they can keep my sensitive documents safe. Not worth risking ID theft for the crap they're paying. Will sit on it and likely withdraw my application on Monday.
 
I’m thinking that I might have made a mistake coming back to the company. People are leaving in droves and who knows if I have a job in 6 months. But I will be closer to retirement then. And it’s better than the other company that was going to make me an offer. So here I am. But I’m still nervous. Maybe I should have taken stock of what I have and really retired. But the total amount of money for medical insurance was staggering. So here I am. But I am not sure if it was the right decision.
sorry for the rant I am not comfortable

day with ma today 😸

1. Salon - my request after a week of not being able to wash hair myself
2. Police report - even if we were to complain, the drivers forgive me after being hit when I forgive them as well, we kinda forgive each other and no even if I use my earpiece, my music was off and didn’t play with phone to focus on the busy road
3. Get new oven
4. Eat out
5. Hoping my feet doesn’t hurt after exercising, medications and self care

Happy weekend, stay safe.

Blue. My friend died alone. I should've been checking in on him. I came back too late, should never have gone, actually. It's complicated by so many things I can't talk about here.
Sorry for your loss. Just remember you didn't know exactly when he was going to go. it's not your fault he was alone. and remember SF is here for you.

Alright. Dont panic. Im glad Im not fine for jaywalking.

After lodging, its a hit and run kinda accident. Most likely the guy was kinda speeding, still investigating then left me alone. I got blurred, black out and fell backwards so it slowed me down while jaywalking and then theres other cars coming and one of the other car hit my right leg. When I regain my conscious, thats when 3-5 drivers surrounding me. One of the guys car headlight got broken which is questionable. Oh please caught the guy.
