How Are You Feeling Right Now?

I get some of the oddest symptoms/side effects when it comes to mental health. It seems nicotine actually triggers my auditory hallucinations. However, if I quit the nicotine, my Crohn's disease worsens and I gain tons of weight because my appetite becomes out of control. So I'm staying on the nicotine for now.

What do you mean by auditory hallucinations? I often have ringing in my ears. Could this be due to nicotine?

Lower than the Mariana Trench. Disappointment is insidious. Just a few mundane instances will crush me within the hour. I no longer care to engage in any activity. Thoughts of suicide are once again my only solace.

Sorry it's like that for you @Inanimate. Has anything trigger this for you or has this been a steady decline in your mental health?

I'm struggling to write my personal statement for university applications. I like the subject that I'm applying for, but it's more of an interest than a passion and I don't really want a career related to it in any way to be honest. I just don't have the grades or the correct subject prerequisites to get into the courses I really wanted to do, at least at a good uni :/

Peaceful.

i have a sore neck from cleaning. I don't feel good today. I felt bad for my son, his phone wasn't working and he needs a phone to do anything, contact his worker, get access to his email. I asked if he knew his password then he could get into it at the library. I don't want to fork out money for a new phone for him (sorry to say this, but he doesn't deserve it with how he treats me with no respect).... I let him in to sleep. He kept complaining of how sore he is and not sleeping. So I said no dope in here and then you can leave in the morning. He just bitched again loudly and slammed the door in here. I offered him breakfast and he's back in my bed. I need him out again, this isn't going to be fun. He woke me up at 6 am and I was getting used to peace, and the upstairs nieghbors were giving me peace after midnight. Now they aren't, and I get it. I just felt bad, thunderstorms coming too.

Sorry to interrupt if I am since it's a question to another person. Yes, nicotine can make tinnitus worse. I have really loud awful tinnitus. It was good to look this up, another reason for me to stop the vaping. Sometimes I want a cigarette. For some reason, if I have one at night I can go right to sleep. Not with vaping.

Has this been happening without reprieve? Or could this just be for a time period? You said it was working at first, so maybe things could get better again?

It sounds like he needs a bit of tough love. I hope you find the strength to stand your ground and insist that he leave.

I went to bed way too late last night, and I forgot to have my coffee this morning.

 

[AvidFan]

Trapped. The stupid "lovely" weather has made my front door expand, so now for some reason I can open it and lock it from the inside, but if I want to leave the house there is no way I can lock it from the outside. Key just won't turn. So I'm now having to navigate the garden, alley, alley gate every time I want to leave the house. It's too warm for this BS. 30C currently. No wonder the door is too hot.

Scared. Got a notice from county assessor. They want to review my finances for property taxes. I know they are going to go up A LOT. This state won't be happy until they take all of our money.

So lonely that I want to die, just so the pain will go away.

That's shocking, its the last thing they should be doing.

Not bad, because I got to go on a beautiful tiny hike this morning to a lookout above the river.

The weekend, I suppose. This may be an unpopular opinion, but fuck weekends.

Sorry it's like this. It's just virtual, but we're together with you when you're here. I literally hate loneliness.

I actually really struggle on the weekends with my mental health, though I get a lot of house stuff done.

I feel better after taking Spravato for a few days, but afterwards the depression and suicidal ideation comes rushing back.

Loneliness can go fudge itself
