What's Bothering You?

I despairingly woke up last night into a brutal panic attack. I felt like falling over and my heart rate was out of control. I haven't gone through one that intense in several years and I had forgotten just how nasty it can be. Thankfully it calmed down within about 60 seconds. But those 60 seconds felt like impending death. I was terrified.

I have yet to find who in my family I feel comfortable talking with about this. I'm scared of it happening again and it's unfortunate to be alone through them.

I hoped to never go through that again. I remember my nights of hospitalization due to anxiety and I wasn't far from that.
 
One of my Steam games, Deep Rock Galactic, won't launch no matter what I do. Lame.

UPDATE: I solved the issue! Turns out I needed to d/l DirectX. Everything's good now!(y)

was at the crosswalk with my husband, we were walking close together (obviously) and this woman on a bike literally tried riding in between us and got all pissy with me when i kept getting confused and kept accidentally getting in her way. she was so rude, didn't say sorry, just yelled at me

there was even a sign that said cyclists must dismount to cross!!!! but whatever!!!!
 
Now that we're getting closer to the Holidays, activity in the store has crazily increased but it still feels like we don't have enough people to handle it all. AND we were told we were done getting stuff in for a bit, but we got 150 or so boxes this week and it's just really overwhelming
 
My heart is broken right now. 💔😭
I had to say goodbye to my little soul pet Lillie yesterday evening. She hadn’t been doing well for about the last month but it still hurts way too much.

She was the cutest sweetest little guinea pig I’ve ever had, and she helped me through an extremely tough part of my life that eventually turned around into a much better time. I believe she’s also the Guinea pig I’ve had the longest.

The only solace I have right now is to know that she isn’t suffering anymore as seeing her unhappy was also breaking my heart. May you rest in peace little one and I hope you get all the cuddles, grass and veggies you could ever want where you are now. ❤️

P.S. Truffles won’t say so but I know she misses you too.
I'm so sorry.
Signed into Quora through childhood email. Saw my profile picture was our cat who went missing and was never found. Made me sad.

I didn't change it immediately. I'm going to save the photo first because I don't think I have it anywhere else and there aren't many photos of him to begin with.
Sorry about your kitty.
 
i dreamt about you again today.
the last time i dreamt about you was the other day.
...

the past months i've only seen you once, yet you haunt my dreams so frequently.


(i don't like thinking about you. sometimes i wished i'd never met you.)

I'm so tired of this
Saying I love my grandpartents is a lie, because I don't. I don't care if you have different views, and think differently. That is prfectly fine with me. But. I draw the line at those trykng to convert me from litterly everything. Grow up normally, don't love who you love. I again respect others, but sometimes people say things that just enrage you, and they sent me an article about having a condition that they now believe I have! I don't. Aparently they've thought it for awhile, since I was a kid. But I am so enraged by everything I was told that I would rather work to midnight, or poke my eyes out then have dinner with them on Christmas eve. I hate when things come to that, because I never thought they would. You love your grandparents when your young. Then you grow up and realize what they really think and want to slam your head into a wall for even thinking they supported you. There no way I'm doing anything with them after they made me feel like this. No way at all. I wanted to work Christmas eve to avoid dinner, but I ended up having it off. I'm just so desperate right now to get out of dinner, because I'm so heartbroken, and upset that I only feel enraged and bitter. What a great day to go to work. I'd rather just scream into a pillow instead.
 
My grandma wrecked her car last night. I wasn’t in it. I was at work. She texted me about it. She told me that some foreigner wrecked into her car, and that he probably doesn’t have insurance because he’s illegal.

It’s hard to feel sorry for her when she says things like this. She also said that she’s sad I went on vacation in November on Election Day because Trump lost a vote, but that he didn’t need my vote to win. She assumes my vote, and I find it hysterical that she believes I think the way she does.
 
I thought I was being unnecessarily harsh when I'd talk about a certain coworker, and I tried giving her the benefit of the doubt... But she's still treating me like ****. Honestly, I don't even want to go into detail since I'm tired as hell and some details are pretty triggering. I'm definitely gonna talk to my manager about this coworker. I just can't work with her.

Also, today was the second day in the row I had forgotten to take my antidepressants. I had to go home during my break to take them, which made me late since the walk is over the 15-minute mark. Normally I would've just sucked it up and keep working, but yesterday I ended up having a mental breakdown during the middle of my shift. I'm not looking forward to explaining this to my manager, but hopefully she'll understand.

I'm just so tired and drained right now. I can't wait till I can stop working in this hellhole.
 
I'm tasked with a new short-term duty at work. The only problem is that it requires Excel, which I'm not good at. As a result, I'm struggling to organize the information in a way that's easy to read.
 
it's so hard to be saddled with unnecessary feelings.

i've always suppressed that part of me, i've always wanted it to go away, but somehow my subconscious pulls me to you in my dreams. it builds this version of you filled with lies and i take it like a blind follower to a false god. i'm consciously putting effort to distance myself and yet my subconscious is still so drawn to you that it hurts me a lot. it seeps into my every day life and time and time again i have to burn the image of you.

(it never truly burns down. my subconscious always keeps a part of you with it.)
