How Are You Feeling Right Now?

Is anyone else blown away sometimes by the fact other people apparently do not want to die all the time? I was talking to my dad, who has gone through so much in his own life and I just assumed everyone battled suicidal ideation and I wasn’t fighting hard enough. I’ve been blaming myself for years thinking I just wasn’t strong enough or capable enough, and everyone else was managing their ideation and thoughts just fine.

oof.

battling suicidal ideation is different for everyone. courage is only the ability to want to fight. i still have those thoughts and always will. when pain/illnesses get bad so do my thoughts. for now when things get bad it's usually minor thoughts i can dismiss easily. the thing that keeps me alive is i know things will eventually get better even if not for long and i will still have more joy in my world.

I'm not well. Really don't feel myself. If my leg stops playing up something else starts up, when the ribs settle down I reinjure myself in my sleep, I've lost my appetite and just feel down generally. Usual energy is not there and just feel out of it. Had a wave of nausea earlier in the day and had a massive anxiety spike that my body was shutting down (I don't think it is, I managed to put the bins out lol). Going to go to bed.

I just noticed that I am irritable to the max. I have been in a bad mood all day, but I just noticed at 4:00 in the afternoon. The recurring theme is companies failing to provide what I paid for, and making it my job to then navigate their system to recover my funds.

Each time, I am asking myself whether the nonsense is being done on purpose, or is the corp not able to manage a basic business process? Either way, I am upset. If it’s on purpose, then they are not being honest with their customers and that’s unethical. If it’s incompetence, then I am still angry about them not caring enough to test and refine their delivery process.

In fairness, business process improvement has been my job (well not entirely, but there wasn’t anyone else addressing gaps) previously, so I know what it should look like, and what’s easier vs difficult. So maybe my bar is too high. I’m just wondering why I have to lower my expectations instead of them at least being able to deliver effectively. Yeah first world problems for sure, but I am paying first world prices, and if they can’t meet expectations then they need to charge less.
