What's Bothering You?

[xSuperMario64x]

today was the first time in quite a while where I actually felt misunderstood by my therapist. I know she has good intentions, but I think sometimes she says things without fully understanding my situation (bc I never have enough time to explain all the important details, it's too much to go into tbh), and what all happened which led me to the train of thought that I have. it's not a big deal, I trust that I know what's right and that I can handle the situation myself. but it sucks because I was hoping to get some valuable input from her, and I honestly did, but I also left feeling misunderstood.

My grandma, who is also my last grandparent left, fell today and broke her femur. I am afraid she won't leave the hospital. Femur brakes aren't easy to bounce back from when you are in your 80's, have asthma and COPD, and diabetes. She already had her knees replaced multiple times and almost lost a leg. We won't know if her knees are effected until later after she gets looked at real well.
I got to see her at Christmas and we were talking about fish tanks and stuff. She was considering getting a Betta and I was gonna give her some plants I grew and other stuff if she decided to go for it. It would be her last tank. Not so sure it'll happen now.

Following AI developments from articles, books, and using them a bit myself over the last several months has made me so terrified for the future.

I don’t think we’re getting “AGI” or “sentience” by 2028 like all the tech CEOs claim, but I do think this technology will continue to rapidly improve and little good will come out of it.

The internet will continue to get worse from bots and AI generated content infesting everything, a lot of jobs are going to be replaced, misinformation and scams are about to become a lot worse, and reading comprehension is about to become less common since a lot of people will just have AI turn everything into bullet points for them.

In just four months Nvidia will release a $3000 PC for the general public with LLMs built into it. We are officially entering the 1970s in terms of AI adoption. Who knows what will happen once these computers become cheaper? Token limits will be a thing of the past. This horrifying technology will be everywhere and it feels like most people don’t see what’s coming.

Just found out I'm being laid off. And I was just thinking I'd finally found a place I was happy.

Really hope the power doesn't go out from the winter storm that's coming..

I've had a stomachache for three days.

Been 'sleeping' on the couch because I can't lie down without the pain getting worse. My alarm goes off in less than 6hrs. At least I've the day off so can take a nap after the vet.

Spoiler: Worthlesness rant

I just sent a lengthy email to my therapist explaining how worthless I feel. I never try to attract attention, but I've become such a bland and uninteresting being that it's resulted in my friends leaving me and my talents mostly going unnoticed. Like, I want to try and make cool things, but the few times I share always results in disappointment feedback-wise. I don't view external positivity the same anymore. It doesn't really make me feel better. Nowadays, it takes a lot of effort and motivation to get a genuine positive emotion out of me. I don't know who or what to blame. It's caused me to end up in an endless anxiety circle where I'm told to take the first step and do something about it, but a random negative thought will always cause me to chicken out. Every. Single. Time.

Why do I always feel like no one is giving me actual, helpful advice on how I can meet new friends? I'm literally by myself at this point. It's essentially me against the world, and everyone wants me to suffer. It doesn't help that I keep hearing about society slowly descending into madness, so who knows if there's anyone left that shows genuine sympathy for my problems. Everyone only cares about themselves, and it really does show with my lack of friends and relationships. It sucks.

Spoiler: Meh...

I've been eating less because I feel guilty about eating. I know it's not good for me, but I can't fathom why this is happening; I never really had this issue in the past, and nothing had changed. I might have to talk with someone about this, though I haven't gotten confirmation for any appointments with my social worker yet... That being said, I'm starting to get worried that said appointment is going to either be delayed or just not happen, since that's what happened the last time.

Even when I'm feeling okay, I still can't stop myself from overthinking. I honestly wish I could get away from myself.
