What's Bothering You?

xSuperMario64x said:
my surgery is in about two weeks, and while I am excited to finally have it done, I am NOT prepared for the pain and recovery and emotional rollercoaster that will inevitably ensue. I'm mostly upset because I've been working out for a few weeks now, and I feel myself getting stronger every time I go, and I won't be able to do that for a while after my surgery. I also won't be able to play pickleball for a while. I'm also wondering how I'll cope when I'm practically bed ridden for a week, and I don't know how long I have to wait to drive or go to work, and I'm sure I'll have some restrictions for a few weeks or months.

I know this will change my life for the better, but I'm worried I might become depressed from not being able to get up and go like I usually do. I hope I don't become an emotional wreck, and I hope that people don't use those emotions to say "haha I told you so."

oh, and I'm worried about how my dad will react. not because I care, but because I imagine he might start to berate me and tell me it was a bad idea. I dreamed about it last night. 🥲 I live with him so I can't avoid it.

Best of luck with the recovery. I'm still technically in recovery from my own laparoscopic surgery, and I don't know what type of surgery you're planning to undergo, but I want to say definitely try to cut yourself some slack while you're recovering. Not being able to do certain things for a little while is a bummer, but it might be a good time to engage in some hobbies that aren't physically intensive; watching some interesting shows or movies, replaying an old favorite game, catching up on some reading... It may be a decent idea to gather up some things to occupy your time in advance while you're able to.


As for what I originally came to post: I'm going to be restarting antidepressants tonight, I guess. I'm kind of frustrated that it seems like I'm just going to have to lean on them after being okay for a few years, but I guess there's not that much else I can really do. I can tell the depression has its claws in me again, because it's been hard to look forward to much of anything, none of my hobbies have been bringing me a lot of joy, and it's difficult to force myself to even take care of myself properly. I'm just hoping that the medication is as effective as it was last time, because 2025 so far has been really wearing me down, and it's not even spring yet.
 
I just realized that I got pinged for an Among Us session in a thread and completely forgot about it until now. I don't really play Among Us that much, but I'm pretty sure it's already too late to join. ;-;

I have been playing a lot of Mario Party Jamboree lately, but as far as I know, there hasn't really been any active sessions as of late.

I already posted something similar in my profile but I've a lot to deal with. And also, the forums don't feel the same. I only came here to have fun... :[

Well, see you on the 29th.

Happy birthday! Sorry I missed it.
 
I don't want to go to work today. I'm so burned out and need the world to just pause for a while. In my field, this time of year is referred to as "Mad March" - and it is so fitting. Everyone is so tense trying to meet external deadlines. I hope my schedule for mid-week looks quiet - if so I might be able to book a day or two off to just focus on my mental health. Late week there is no chance as I need to prep for the three days I'm out of department training next week. Can the world just stop for a minute. Please?
 
It's probably a really unhealthy way to look at things, but there are so many ways that I feel like an "other" all at once that it's no wonder I feel out of place. Asexual, aromantic, don't want kids, not trans but don't feel socially connected to my gender at all, estranged from family, more of an old-school nerd than anything, and just to add to the pile I have a really disruptive sleep disorder that typically just affects blind people, but in sighted people mostly affects men. I get that every person is different, but geez, man, how different did I need to be?
 
I lowkey feel inferior to my younger sister. She's only 14, but I feel like she's better than me in just about everything. It's bad enough that I've been comparing myself to my 20 year old sister for all these years, and now I'm comparing myself to both of my younger sisters.

It seems like no matter how successful I am, I always feel the need to compare myself to my brothers and sisters and see how well they're doing compared to me. I guess you can say I have some kind of inferiority complex when it comes to my siblings.

Also on a side note, I find myself being jealous of other women most of the time, as I'm almost never jealous of men. I just noticed that.

I think I may have messed up again. Idk if I’m doing the right thing anymore

also not comfortable with so much right now.

For some reason, lately, when I hit post reply or other links, it doesn’t work. I have to refresh.

No dms or replies please.

Apparently I'm as quiet as a mouse when I talk. I blame how I haven't been able to hear properly out of one ear.

Ive had to lean in closer several times just so people can hear me. I hope I can get better soon, and maybe get it looked at. But at least it doesn't hurt at all.
