What's Bothering You?

I walked into my living room this morning and my 10-week-old white kitten had blood on his chest.

He was a good boy and let me find the wound, check for swelling, and stayed still while I got him cleaned up.

The wound itself is very minor - it looks like an accident that occurred while play fighting with his brother. He appears absolutely fine, happy and purring and there is no change in either of the boys behaviour towards each other (in the 10hrs I've been observing them), so I'm just watching it for signs of infection. But god that was a scary sight to come downstairs to. Glad I had no plans today so I could stay home and keep an eye on them.
Oh no that's so scary 😢 I had a similar experience the other day...
My young cat must've been out early in the morning and when I got up to get ready for work I noticed she had a massive cut on the outside of her ear. It looked fresh and really bad. I didn't know what to do as I needed to get to work, so I just managed to clean it.

I think she must be getting attacked by another cat as she came home with two minor cuts on the bridge of her nose a couple weeks ago. I wasn't concerned about that, but when I saw the cut on her ear I freaked out (almost to the point of a panic attack lmao). She still seems really happy though; she's not hiding, she's still very vocal, socializing with the puppies...so I'm glad she's okay

On another note, the ex-tenants of this house seriously must've not known how to clean. The house isn't terribly filthy, but they definitely could've put some more effort into cleaning the house before we moved in!
 
another night where I keep having very vivid dreams, I've woken up multiple times during the night (as in like 6-7 times) and it's now been 10 hours. I'm still so sleepy and I have a mild headache and I feel uncomfortable. I just want to sleep in peace please 🥲
 
I swear, everytime we "fall back" I end up waking up an hour early or sleep like crap anyway. I end up feeling robbed.
I think a coworker quit because I told someone else he looks like Seth Rogan. That didn't take much.
A couple of weeks ago a driver stopped to yell to one of my customers: "You look just like Bill Gates!" and the guy had a good laugh about it. Some people just don't find it as funny as others, I suppose.
 
my coworkers are so ****ing lazy and i cannot stand it. i'm the only girl working at my store besides my manager (who has more than enough of her own work to do) and my male coworkers are such unbelievable slobs. it astounds me that we're such a close knit group (only five of us) and we all obviously care for each other, yet these three grown ass men are perfectly content to let the only woman do ALL OF THE CLEANING, all of the important work, all of the **** no one else wants to do, while they do nothing. and our company sucks, there are like no consequences for anyone who acts up so it's pointless to even complain.

every day that goes by makes me more and more bitter that i've worked retail for 12 years and i STILL can't get out of it
 
I think my mental health has hit its lowest point since last year when my mom died. Basically, I'm having an existential crisis and questioning the point of life, with the stress of work and my future piled on top of me.

Last night, I got into a big argument with my dad when I was trying to confide to him ("Talk to us when you have problems, we don't want you bottling up your emotions!" 🙃), and I cried for nearly two hours straight.

Trying to hold my tears in at work is so ****ing hard. I had a headache that was hurting so much, I was shaking and on the verge of tears. And with my mental toll, I certainly wasn't feeling any better. I was already crying by the time I was walking back home for lunch, and I broke down when I got home. I hate everything.

I'm just so tired. Tired of being told my life is perfect and I have nothing to complain about. Tired of being exhausted from a **** job with a **** pay. Tired of being mentally ill. When am I gonna catch a break?

This is only a fraction of what's on my mind, but I can't be bothered to type more.
 
My cat Mocha isn't doing well. He's very old and already has health issues. I think he's nearing the end of his life

i feel conflicted over my beliefs. i won't get into the specifics but my parents are religious, they have made me partake in religious activities since i was very little.

i've noticed recently that somehow i don't click with some of their religion's teachings. maybe it's because of their stance against queer relationships or how they believe the world was made.

it feels weird because i was taught that the reason why i don't feel right is because i'm not communicating with the judgement above and i can't be bothered to do any of the things this religion really needs me to do, but there's a part of me that believes that there is more to this than just mere faith. or even, what if faith has nothing to do with it whatsoever...

long story short, i don't feel religious, but i feel like i should be, but i feel like i don't want to be, and it's like a war against myself already :\
no replies, no reactions, and no pms about this, whether it's here or on discord

The current state of the world. It is absolutely insane right now, and "I know" it's gonna get worse in the next few days, weeks, and months. Maybe that is doom gloom thoughts, but it sucks, and the suffering that is coming, if it is going to go the way many post online think it may, it's unimaginable in scale. So many people would be effected, and effected for years. Not that the people who have been suffering the past few years don't matter, they most certainly do and have been in my thoughts, it's just more suffering being around and in larger geographical areas.
Also my awesome giant mystery snail, Gethin, passed away due to old age a few days ago. I have his offspring, but man he was huge and so chill cruising around and now my tank feels his absence. Part of having an aquarium, but I hoped to have had him longer. I love snails though others may not think much of a snail. 💕😅
Also the situation in New York with Peanut and Fred and ➡️how that was handled⬅️ is very upsetting and absolutely ridiculous.
 
Update: Mocha just passed away

Oh nooooooo, I'm so sorry this happened. : (

I know how much Mocha meant to you and it really is devastating to lose a pet like that. I'm sure Mocha was well taken care of while he was alive and was only the bestest of bois. I hope that you can feel better in time and that Mocha is in a better place now. 😞 💚

Thank you so much. He had a rough life before he lived with me. Was very neglected for most of his life by his owner. I took good care of him though and gave him lots of love and care. We didn’t have long together. Only a year. But I loved him and he will always be in my heart forever. Such a good boy
 
I just kinda realised I never had the experience of sharing and getting art with friends for the sake of it and not a competition since I was a kid. When I was a teenager I gifted people art for fun and I seen some jerks get some (not here). Idk. I miss drawing but it’s making me feel worse now and my skill is gone. Honestly as selfish as this is I think I still feel bad about 2nd placing on so much last camp because that was at my max effort, and nothing has gotten me to shake off my artistic bones since then. I don’t want it as a career, it brings up trauma… at this point everything bring up trauma. Idk who I am or what to do anymore I’m waiting for my break in life but it’s not going to happen. I hate that one guy so much, I got used, I’m stuck in a loop of trauma living with my parents and nobody irl takes it seriously.
