we’re so back (but i will be making a separate post for my circumstances)
Haven’t posted on Lemmy before. Excited to be in a small queer community. This week: made some fun art with my partner, organized back if house at a nonprofit, had great coffee, and enjoyed nature
we’re excited to have you here! have an awesome week!
Aww sounds like my dream life!
A little stressed about work and money and trying to not panic about climate change. Overall just exhausted, fending off depression as best as I can, looking for new ways to keep myself motivated and excited about life. I’m going to experiment with new recipes this weekend.
I love your expression “feeling off depression” — I feel you! I hope you get better!
Lol that was a typo! I meant “fending off depression”, thank you. I hope you’re feeling better as well!
Supervisor was being a prick last night during our shift, but I’m on 4-10s so I have the weekend now. And I’m unionized, so really whenever the mood strikes me, I can tell said supervisor to blow me. I’ll still have a job. Thing is, the guy’s like a parasite: if you let him get under your skin, he wins. So I bite my tongue and do my thing, fuck 'em.
Aside from that? Might finish Baldur’s Gate 3 this weekend, but I’ve got errands to run and cleaning to do. Maybe some shopping. All in all, not a bad week. I leave the bullshit at work and live my life.Ready to kill myself.
I’m tired of struggling everyday for shit that doesn’t seem to matter in a world that is on fire with people who hate me.
It is of great comfort to me to remember that most people are completely indifferent to me.
But for my part I hope you find some light in your life
:( I feel about same! Although different circumstance/ different time / different life…
But I hope You n I don’t do it :)
Live on n get Yer self out of the mess by different means Friend!
I am here for You; hit me up whenever
I, for one, am eager to read of your comeback. I’m hopeful for you.
I’m at my grandma’s right now (in vacation). It’s been fun since 3 weeks. But I got so many projects to finish with friends, there’s this very mysterious military abandoned building we need to explore, etc… and I really want to see them before we get back to class.
Next year will be a hell, I won’t probably even be with them but I have to cope last year of high school.
I’m kinda depressed of being stuck here, I just wish I could explore the city for abandoned places… or anything to do.
I started doing philosophy, thinking when I’m not programming to get out of my depressed mind.
Send help lol
Way I see it, you’ve got your whole life ahead of you. When you get out of high school and either go to college or join the workforce or learn a trade (I did both; went to college, got a degree in biochemistry and now I do unionized construction [as part of a trade; I operate heavy equipment] for way more money), your entire life opens up. You can do whatever you want with that time, and live your life on your terms.
That said, there’s gonna be times ahead that you may be stuck in one town or place. That’ll be a good time to familiarize yourself with the area and see what’s happening socially. Not just bars or gyms, but clubs, group activities, etc.
Urban exploration was always fun when I was your age, but just be careful. Especially if the abandoned building you and your friends are interested in is military. Never know what they forgot, or who’s still watching the place.
Anyway, hang in there, it gets better.
Edit: Also when I say “clubs,” I don’t mean the dance floor. Hobby clubs.
I’m working on a flyer for the open days of the place I work at. The hardest part is realizing that I’m a perfectionista and have to stop myself. I mean at this point I have files in writer, blender, Krita, Inkscape, and even unity. It’s kinda absurd really, just for a tiny square one sided flyer.
Anyone else struggling with this blessingcurse?
lol i’ve been there, but i haven’t gone quite that far in my obsession. That said, i haven’t designed a flier that will be viewed by that many people, so maybe it’s the added pressure.
What kinda stuff do you make?
Fortunately I don’t have stage fright. I’m also a perfectionist with purely private things.
If it looks good, it looks good!
Welcome back!
I’m on holiday at the Edinburgh fringe festival. Had like an hour’s sleep but seen some great comedy already today. Treated myself to mussels and ice cream (not together) for dinner, looking forward to passing out at my hotel. Walked miles today which was much needed exercise even if my feet hurt!
Long day full of shows tomorrow, can’t wait. Hardest thing will be pacing myself caffeine and alcohol wise. I’m not good at staying out all day
Mussels ftw
One of those foods I only really have when on holiday, can’t deal with the smell when I cook at home
Agreed. Plus you can’t see how much butter is in the sauce when someone else prepares it! Pure musselly bliss
So. Much. Butter… And Cream (used to be one of our best selling items where I worked). Butter truly is the secret to why restaurant food tastes just so good!
That sounds so fun! Are you going to write some reviews /comments about the shows?
I can if anyone would find it remotely interesting! I am posting on Mastodon. Honestly it’s been brilliant so far
Thanks! Not sure if I can view that from here but I have a mastodon account I could probably dust off!
Not great, work is dumb and micromanaging is a pain
My nesting partner played outside lands on Sunday and I’ve been busy getting ready for a planned surgery next week which will have me out of office for a bit on recovery so I’m notably exhausted today. While life has been weird and rocky lately, my spirits are actually quite high at this point in time. I’m enjoying life, and looking forward to having some time off work to spin up some projects and spend time and socialize with my loved ones more 😄
Was at the hospital earlier, my left foot was swollen until I couldn’t walk. Hyperuricimea (high uric acid leve) was the cause. Much better now, don’t worry.
Welcome back! ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ♪
Week is going alright. Found out I’ll be moving ahead with an interview to the tech stage, after that it’s a full panel then the decision. Got a few other options but admittedly this one seems the best so far in terms of benefits and pay. I’m gonna try to crash course myself and refresh my knowledge.
Outside of that, I’ll be “enjoying” a Pacific NW heatwave this week. At least I have AC, though.
Doing Super Funtastisch!!
Just joined Y’all today :)
Very weird. I keep doing things and not being quite sure who’s doing them. Having trouble not feeling super alone and isolated but also having trouble feeling like I’m me so it’s kinda better in a weird way? Very strange. … Kinda just wanted to tell somecritter about that, I guess 🤷♀
I hope it’s okay if I pretend to bee a beehawer for a sec <.< I figure I kinda am in spirit, so maybe it’s okay? Though lately Idunno if I’m me so who knows. wobbles awkwardly
Thank you for sharing. I don’t have any special pearls of wisdom, except to say that I see you, you are not alone.
If you ever need someone to talk to, I am here. I’m sure the same is true for many folks on this big, federated universe.
And if you don’t have someone to talk to in your world offline, there are plenty of resources for folks who would be happy to listen if you care to share more.
Hang in there!
Half good, half bad.
Let’s start for the bad:
-
It’s been a week since I stopped taking melatonin before going to sleep. I reach my dreamworld as easily as with the pill, but somehow my sleep is light and I wake up earlier… and I feel sleepy along the day.
-
Sometimes I feel like I need to things I did when I wasn’t medicated. Like learning this or that language because yes. And giving up shortly after because yes.
Now, the good news:
- I met a woman (transgender) on a dating app. Although she only writes me once per day, while I’m sleeping, we’re talking for 5 days already. She seems legit. But given my previous bad experiences dating women from other countries online (again, when I wasn’t diagnosed), I’ve some concerns: Will she want a LDR? How long will it last? …?
I can say that long distance can be brutal, but also really really can work. I lived an 8 hour time difference from my partner for over 4 years and we just had to work out a system and timing of communication that worked for both of us. Now they’re moving over here so that will probably make things easier. I hope it lasts for you both like it did for us :)
-
I volunteered to moonlight in a second role at my day job. This week is the first time that the workload has been getting to me. I guess it’s just going to be a stressful couple of weeks and then I’ll get through it.
