Jim's Cafe July 1st, Wednesday

[Aurelia]

I haven't opened one of these in forever, and didn't see one up already, so figured why the hell not.

1. Name something meaningful or important that's happened to you in the last week -- good or bad.

2. If you take any kind of psychiatric medications, are they helping? Do you think that your depressive state (not anxiety, but rather negative or unstable moods, specifically) can be helped by medication? If not, why not?

3. What smaller things do you get temporary happines from? (Such as food, shopping, hobbies, etc.)

4. Take a few minutes to listen to your thoughts right at this very moment. What are some of those thoughts you are noticing? Don't take too long to think about this, or it defeats the purpose of the question. Just write the first things that come to mind no matter how random or seemimgly nonsensical.


Now for some lighter questions...


5. Would you ever want to travel to outer space in an actual rocket?

6. What is the last thing you bought?

7. What is the next thing you're most likely going to buy?

8. Have you ever tried putting ice cream into hot coffee?

9. What is something you think you are good at? What do others think you are good at?

10. What is the last compliment you received from someone (online or RL)?

11. Are you making any 4th of July food this weekend? If so, what?

12. Take exactly 5 seconds to think about this question, and no more: What is the main thing you want right now?

13. How do you feel right at this moment in exactly five words -- but don't just list five different adjectives, make it a full sentence. (i.e. I feel like I'm hungry.)

14. What type of school or office supplies do you think are a must-have for students and/or white-collar workers to stay organized? List no more than 5.

15. If a stranger walked up to you and said, "You seem upset. What happened and is there anything I can do?" What would you say?

BONUS QUESTION:

Favorite food or what do you eat most often? Chinese, Japanese, American, Thai, Indian, Mexican or Spanish, Italian (this includes pizza), European, Russian, etc.

I definitely eat Chinese quite a lot. My favourite Chinese dish would be chef's special duck, you cannot beat it, damn it's addictive and dip the prawn crackers in too, yummmmy. I usually just have it with fries.

If I was to have an Indian it would be Chicken Jalfrezi but there's no Indian restaurant in my town so that's rare. G.O.C bread is awesome to have with it. (Garlic, Onion, Coriander) with it.

 

[ShyGuy]

1. umm a lot of things came to mind but I can't say the ones I thought of cuz of cyberstalkers. My friends say I shouldn't say my feelings and thoughts much cuz of the cyberstalkers. But yeah a lot of-- um I can't say cuz of the cyberstalkers. *thinks...* I guess one meaningful impactful thing is that there's been sales on video games and some other things. I don't buy video games often though (a hater wrote about me that I "spend all of my walfare money on video games and fanart" but that isn't true!)

2. I'm seeing a psychiatrist soon so I look forward to that. I wanted to see a doctor to get anti-anxiety medicine but my doctor left and I never got a new one yet so I haven't had a doctor for like a month now but idk how to find a good doctor.

3. Video games and anime. At the same time it also makes me lonely playing games and watching anime because I don't have friends to chat about them with and it strongly makes me think that maybe my old friends are talking about games and anime without me and I miss them..

4. "AAaaaaAAaaaaAAAAaaaAAahhhhuuuu!!! I need help more than life itself cuz someone said I'm obsessed with the person that said they are my internet sensei in 2015 when literally every day I keep mentioning Sensei saying I wish I knew how to let Sensei know that I am NOT obsessed with them and their girlfriend said that unlike me, they actually love and care about them!! while yelling at me in caps and I felt bad so I need to prove that I DO love and care about Sensei and I do leave Sensei alone and I wish I knew how to fix things aaaaah" (I didn't wanna say that exactly in case its too offtopic or something but that's all that my mind is saying)

5. I think about it sometimes but I wouldn't. not unless there was an internet connection and a way to make gaming videos while doing outer space stuff. Space is cool but I don't think I could handle being in space for like 3 and a half years with no internet or TV or video games.

6. I can't say what I last bought cuz of cyberstalkers sadly. But it =/ once again was something that immediately after I finally got it, I saw a huge gigantic sale on the product, and now I have to figure out how to return what I just bought so that I can buy it for cheaper..

7. I wanna buy something related to my productivity. I wanna buy a VRchat avatar but those are really expensive for someone to make an original avatar for ya.

8. nope. I very often have rootbeer floats though.

9. I wanna say drawing, but people online made fun of me a lot for my art and it made me stop drawing much.. I liked making games but my toxic-ex-friend would always put me down, saying he could make my games in less than a day and saying they're not funny and stuff like that.

10. Someone online said they like being friends with me.

11. idk yet ^^; maybe I'll have steak then!

12. I want Senpai to end it all.

13. I feel confused and tired.

14. binders, pencils, pens, sticky notes, a digital device (to write notes on.)

15. I would say YES I need help more than life itself!!! There is something that you can do.. SOMEONE thinks I'm obsessed with them and claims that I won't stop leaving them alone and that they want me and my friends to stop contacting them and they claim that I am obsessed with them. PLEASE contact this person and tell them that I AM NOT obsessed with them and I DO respect their boundaries and I have NO desire to contact them at all and that my ex-toxic-friend is wrong and that I DO NOT WANT to be their friend at ALL. Also, I REALLY REALLY wish I could be their friend and I would looooove to be friends with them!!

And their gf said unlike me, they love and care about them; and they (sensei's gf) kept yelling at me in caps. So I NEED to prove to Sensei that I DO care about them and love them, cuz I feel bad when people yell at me and I wanna fix things so that their gf will apologize to me (it's ok if they don't, but I mean I feel bad when people yell at me and I wanna correct myself for them) for yelling at me in caps and for writing to me that they wish that I and my toxic-ex-friend were dead. Please contact my sensei that says to NEVER EVER have me or any of my friends ever contact them ever again, and tell them that I DO NOT WANT TO CONTACT THEM so stop implying that I would and please stop thinking I am obsessed with them, I think about them every single day and I can't stop and it keeps getting worst and I already told them I've been getting really weird thoughts about them and it'd be easier to move on and talk to psychologists and get over Senpai if they JUST ended it all. Please contact Sensei and tell them that me and their friends DO NOT want to contact them!! and.. that I.. anyways.. blah..

Bonus question. I like Italian food a lot!! and I like hamburgers and steak and chicken.

Hello

1. Name something meaningful or important that's happened to you in the last week -- good or bad.

Had a piece of writing published on Mar Covid Diaries, not written for public viewing for several years.

2. If you take any kind of psychiatric medications, are they helping? Do you think that your depressive state (not anxiety, but rather negative or unstable moods, specifically) can be helped by medication? If not, why not?

Quetiapine, early days but dose is too low and no MH support means can't get it increased!

3. What smaller things do you get temporary happines from? (Such as food, shopping, hobbies, etc.)

Music, reliving happier times through music especially if live concerts I've seen.

4. Take a few minutes to listen to your thoughts right at this very moment. What are some of those thoughts you are noticing? Don't take too long to think about this, or it defeats the purpose of the question. Just write the first things that come to mind no matter how random or seemimgly nonsensical.

Loneliness.

Now for some lighter questions...

5. Would you ever want to travel to outer space in an actual rocket?

Yes, but only if I can stay there.

6. What is the last thing you bought?

A pair of trousers, chocolate and diet coke.

7. What is the next thing you're most likely going to buy?

Tomorrow, a car parking ticket for the multi-storey car park.

8. Have you ever tried putting ice cream into hot coffee?

No

9. What is something you think you are good at? What do others think you are good at?

Me: Writing. Others: Caring for others.

10. What is the last compliment you received from someone (online or RL)?

I actually don't remember.

11. Are you making any 4th of July food this weekend? If so, what?

I'm British!

12. Take exactly 5 seconds to think about this question, and no more: What is the main thing you want right now?

A move house to somewhere quiet.

13. How do you feel right at this moment in exactly five words -- but don't just list five different adjectives, make it a full sentence. (i.e. I feel like I'm hungry.)

I want pizza right now!

14. What type of school or office supplies do you think are a must-have for students and/or white-collar workers to stay organized? List no more than 5.

Labels, stapler, folders, boxes and Sharpie pens.

15. If a stranger walked up to you and said, "You seem upset. What happened and is there anything I can do?" What would you say?

I'd probably tell them someone died.

Thanks for the tag @Aurelia



1. Name something meaningful or important that's happened to you in the last week -- good or bad.

I had a nice long phone call with a friend yesterday to catch up.

2. If you take any kind of psychiatric medications, are they helping? Do you think that your depressive state (not anxiety, but rather negative or unstable moods, specifically) can be helped by medication? If not, why not?

Yes, I think my antidepressants are helping. I don't think they can 'fix' or 'cure' anything, but they help the lows be less low so I can get a handle on what I need to to help myself.

3. What smaller things do you get temporary happines from? (Such as food, shopping, hobbies, etc.)

Definitely food, haha. Lately most other options are off the table. But I bought a Switch Lite so I've got games as a fun distraction.

4. Take a few minutes to listen to your thoughts right at this very moment. What are some of those thoughts you are noticing? Don't take too long to think about this, or it defeats the purpose of the question. Just write the first things that come to mind no matter how random or seemimgly nonsensical.

Mostly just thinking I should start working soon...

Now for some lighter questions...


5. Would you ever want to travel to outer space in an actual rocket?

Yes! I would love to. Probably not to go far, but just to go to space and orbit the earth for a bit would be incredible.

6. What is the last thing you bought?

Groceries yesterday. Super exciting, haha. Uh, a bridesmaid dress on Monday.

7. What is the next thing you're most likely going to buy?

I need to get my sister a birthday present soon.

8. Have you ever tried putting ice cream into hot coffee?

No, but I think that's a real drink! I forget the name.

9. What is something you think you are good at? What do others think you are good at?

I am good at...thinking negative things about myself, ha. Um, really though, I am generally good at like puzzles and math, logical thinking type stuff. I'm also often the mediator between friends/family, like I'm pretty good at stepping back and listening to what someone is really saying.
Other people? I don't know what they would say. Something generic about me being nice or smart or something, I dunno.

10. What is the last compliment you received from someone (online or RL)?
The one that comes to mind is a friend thanking me last week for being there for them.

11. Are you making any 4th of July food this weekend? If so, what?
I don't know. The holiday doesn't feel very festive, haha. We don't have a grill or anything, but maybe we'll make burgers.

12. Take exactly 5 seconds to think about this question, and no more: What is the main thing you want right now?

More sleep.

13. How do you feel right at this moment in exactly five words -- but don't just list five different adjectives, make it a full sentence. (i.e. I feel like I'm hungry.)

I have an annoying headache.

14. What type of school or office supplies do you think are a must-have for students and/or white-collar workers to stay organized? List no more than 5.

Haha, I think you're crowdsourcing your shopping list here T.
Notebooks, pens, post-its, printer, the good clippy things for paper (like these)

15. If a stranger walked up to you and said, "You seem upset. What happened and is there anything I can do?" What would you say?

Huh, I'm not sure. I think more than likely I would shrug it off. Like just look at them weird and say I'm fine and get away quickly.

BONUS QUESTION:

Favorite food or what do you eat most often? Chinese, Japanese, American, Thai, Indian, Mexican or Spanish, Italian (this includes pizza), European, Russian, etc.

I probably eat Mexican most often. I mean I live in SoCal.
Favorite is harder. Pizza or Thai maybe.
@Aurelia what's good Russian food?

 

[Baywasp]

1. Name something meaningful or important that's happened to you in the last week -- good or bad.
I got a consult set up with a trans-affirming doctor for the hysterectomy I've been wanting.
2. If you take any kind of psychiatric medications, are they helping? Do you think that your depressive state (not anxiety, but rather negative or unstable moods, specifically) can be helped by medication? If not, why not?
They're helping some with moods in particular, but I don't think they'll go away 100%.
3. What smaller things do you get temporary happines from? (Such as food, shopping, hobbies, etc.)
Definitely food. Watching Youtube. My favorite teams winning.
4. Take a few minutes to listen to your thoughts right at this very moment. What are some of those thoughts you are noticing? Don't take too long to think about this, or it defeats the purpose of the question. Just write the first things that come to mind no matter how random or seemimgly nonsensical.

10. What is the last compliment you received from someone (online or RL)?

[JMG]

Ty for the tag @Aurelia & for opening the cafe, not sure whether this will ever even be read & if it is if it will mean anything or not but just gonna say it anyway that I'm glad you opened the cafe today & I think these seem like great & fun q's
Tagging @Kiwi2016 @foreverforgotten @Cynic Goat

1. Name something meaningful or important that's happened to you in the last week -- good or bad.
Had my 3rd appt on Monday and got started with giving CBT another try. Done the things she said I should do every day since & they do seem to be quite powerful. I hope over time that they'll become easier, everyone says they do so I hope they are right, trying to stay hopeful & positive about all of it anyway.

2. If you take any kind of psychiatric medications, are they helping? Do you think that your depressive state (not anxiety, but rather negative or unstable moods, specifically) can be helped by medication? If not, why not?
Yes I do I've been on the same one for over a decade now & I absolutely believe those kinds of problems can be helped by medication cos it has been the case for me.

3. What smaller things do you get temporary happiness from? (Such as food, shopping, hobbies, etc.)
Anytime I eat chocolate, escapism which for me is mostly either through watching a movie or show I like or playing a game. Have tried to make that have more of a social aspect to it but clearly need to try something else with that I guess. Whatever.

4. Take a few minutes to listen to your thoughts right at this very moment. What are some of those thoughts you are noticing? Don't take too long to think about this, or it defeats the purpose of the question. Just write the first things that come to mind no matter how random or seemingly nonsensical.
I really wish he wouldn't have said that to me all it did was upset the heck outta me why did he have to say that anyway I don't understand what even makes them care so much I don't want to have to deal with that stuff and don't want them all to keep pushing me so much to do those things I don't feel ready for them & probably never will if they can't understand why that's the case then I can't burden myself with worrying about that. God I wish I could eat some chocolate right now it would really help a lot

5. Would you ever want to travel to outer space in an actual rocket?
No I'd be way too freaked out. I'm a curious person about a lot of things but the idea of going into space just scares the heck outta me.

6. What is the last thing you bought?
Groceries I think, can't remember what exactly but I do know it involved chocolate lol.

7. What is the next thing you're most likely going to buy?
More groceries probably lol.

8. Have you ever tried putting ice cream into hot coffee?
No but I don't drink coffee anyway. My mom does that though.

9. What is something you think you are good at? What do others think you are good at?
Creating things I guess, maybe being patient sometimes with certain kinds of things as well. As for others I dunno I think most people have a hard time thinking of anything they think I'm very good at & I can't say I really blame them for that.

10. What is the last compliment you received from someone (online or RL)?
That I deserved happiness

11. Are you making any 4th of July food this weekend? If so, what?
N/A

12. Take exactly 5 seconds to think about this question, and no more: What is the main thing you want right now?
To be happy, peaceful & relaxed.

13. How do you feel right at this moment in exactly five words -- but don't just list five different adjectives, make it a full sentence. (i.e. I feel like I'm hungry.)
Wanting to be more positive

14. What type of school or office supplies do you think are a must-have for students and/or white-collar workers to stay organized? List no more than 5.
Pens, paper, binder, dividers and a planner I guess.

15. If a stranger walked up to you and said, "You seem upset. What happened and is there anything I can do?" What would you say?
I'd probably say they are nice to notice & care but since I don't really know them then I'm not sure what to say. Then see how they respond to that. If they still seemed like they wanted to know what was going on then perhaps I'd let them know a bit about it. I'd be pretty shocked though since that doesn't generally seem to be a thing people do.

BONUS QUESTION:

Favorite food or what do you eat most often? Chinese, Japanese, American, Thai, Indian, Mexican or Spanish, Italian (this includes pizza), European, Russian, etc.
I love most of those kinds of foods, one of my faves is Chinese but I don't eat it very often cos wouldn't be able to afford to do that, esp. right now with trying so hard to save as much as I can for next year. Also I really need to lose a lot of weight and eating that kind of food would not help me do that (would be the opposite probably).

1. Name something meaningful or important that's happened to you in the last week -- good or bad.

Someone here offered communication with another human.

I think that my ingrained identity and cognitive processes would need tuning before I give any thought to treating a potential chemical imbalance. Otherwise, they’ve had a history of being either a waste of time and money or both a waste of time and money and a redundancy in my depression.

Food may relieve idleness and boredom.

Thanks for the tag @Aurelia kinda wanna play this while at the waiting room

1. Name something meaningful or important that's happened to you in the last week -- good or bad.
Nothing much. Had fun at school ^^

2. If you take any kind of psychiatric medications, are they helping? Do you think that your depressive state (not anxiety, but rather negative or unstable moods, specifically) can be helped by medication? If not, why not? For me, I'm doing another assessment, adhd assessment to get the right meds to replace my withdrawal symptoms. It only didn't work cause I got the wrong diagnosis. I however, don't blame the meds at all. I am manageable with all kinds of mental health symptoms. Example, even without it, I'm surprise that I usually can calm my own nerve down before presentation day and keep my voice stable at any presentation I have to do, in class and outside. The only thing thats hard to control it is the stresses but I took panadol for it meanwhile so 😹

3. What smaller things do you get temporary happines from? (Such as food, shopping, hobbies, etc.) Kitty colours 🥰

4. Take a few minutes to listen to your thoughts right at this very moment. What are some of those thoughts you are noticing? Don't take too long to think about this, or it defeats the purpose of the question. Just write the first things that come to mind no matter how random or seemimgly nonsensical. Kitty brain is empty, am at peaceful state of mind. I'm happy that my doc finally talked to my mum. ^^
