What's Bothering You?

[Dunquixote]

I'd consider the reasons you're contemplating changing it to begin with. Since you like it, it makes the most sense to keep it. If you don't like it to some degree, or just want something new, you could change your title to, "previously Dunquixote" so as not to confuse people who follow you. If you're considering changing it to, in a sense, run away from something or avoid facing something or someone, I think you'll end up disappointed, as it won't be a veil for very long. Good luck with whatever you decide to do!

Thanks so much for giving me some input and and the good luck . Yeah, I think you’re right, I just can’t help wanting to believe I can have a social media account that is private from friends and free myself from the stuff that have been bothering me for so long, or at least to some degree even if this doesn’t erase it from my brain. And even though none of my friends play AC or post on these forums, I can’t help fretting a bit (then again, I could just not vent about stuff here ). I’ll think on it some more. Thanks so much for your time

I’m contemplating changing my username here and on twitter but I really like my username and don’t want to confuse my followers. i should have never used my gaming name that my friends are familiar with :/. I am terrible with coming up with new names though.

I don't have any advice for this but I did want to say I've been thinking about the exact same thing and it is actually very stressful! I feel like I want to change my name too but I can't come up with anything and it seems like everyone else just has way cooler usernames than anything I could think of.

I love your username! It's so cute!

My head hurts so bad that I feel like crying

Thank you that it sweet of you to say so, it's really just my name and pants

I'm really mostly interested in changing it because it is my steam/discord name and I'd like something different for here

Well, you do you. Change it if you want, it's not like anyone here is forcing you to change it. If it helps, you could just shorten it to Deana but it's just a suggestion, like I said before, you do you

I very well may do that I'm just awful at making decisions even not very important ones such as this lol

idk if I'm just overreacting but seeing people on Instagram hate white people just for being white really hurts me and I know it's not as bad as racism against poc but it's really been affecting me terribly to the point ive started believing I'm a terrible person for being white and my mental health has already been horrible and I did try blocking the account which has been affecting me but i still feel really bad and plus on top of my mental health already being bad and being sick it's just really not good and I'm not sure those people who say things like that know how badly it can affect people man I'm legitimately crying because of all of it

Yeah, unfortunately there seems to be hate on both sides when I wish there wasn’t. :/ I wish there was more love and peace in the world, and friendliness between people. The only thing I or anyone really can do is to set an example by treating everyone with decency and friendliness, without even thinking about discriminating against anyone. I’m sorry that those people made you cry. I hope you feel better soon. (this is Midoriya btw, lmao)

The second moderna knocked me and some coworkers out for a day. Not saying that's bad, just suggesting to people in general not to make plans the day after.

thank you so much man i really wish that everyone could just love each other and be nice despite skin color too, i feel like people get so caught up in fighting racism that they just end up being racist and hypocritical themselves and try to justify it by saying "oh white people wanna be oppressed so bad reverse racism doesn't exist lol" even if that were the case I don't understand the need to make fun of people for their skin color white or not, i wish everyone could get along

I forgot to take my antidepressant again. The withdrawal was awful all day. It doesn’t help my obsessive thoughts, but it generally lessens my negative emotions.

I’ve started to outline a novel idea that’s been in the back of my mind for a while. Without revealing too much, the story about an autistic teenager that is dealing with toxic people in their life. A part of writing it is to cope with the years of trauma, but it’s also to share what being autistic is actually like. There’s always been a huge shortage of characters on the spectrum, especially ones that are three dimensional so I’m more than happy to write one.

I can't believe how fragile my nails are. No wonder that I keep biting them to have them super short.
Due to not feeling my fingers a lot lately, I didn't have the urge to bite them, so they grew a bit.. and
with that I mean they are about 0,2mm long.. so not long at all. However, my nails are so freaking fragile
that they are easily bending and today I was cleaning a bit and one of the nails bend so much, that it was
actually bleeding. Don't think I ever had my nail bend that much before. That hurts and now I know for sure
that I will never want long nails ever again. (And yes, I took vitamins to have them stronger, as I was missing
some and doctor told me to take it to make them stronger.. didn't help anything. They are literally as flexible
as a piece of paper)

Ontario has a lot of northern forest fires right now. While I’m not near them personally the smoke has made it’s way to the area I live. I was outside for lunch yesterday and it was beautiful and clear out. Later in the afternoon it started to get dark and smoky. I woke up this morning for my 45 min drive to work and it was super dark. The sun was an eerie orange circle that you could easily look at without hurting your eyes and you could see the smoke drift across it. It’s supposed to clear up a bit later today but it really is awful. I drove with my lights on this morning just to be safe.

Yeah both are as dumb and really, I don't get why communities need to be so polarized and generalized and assuming everyone white is bad cause they're not black etc. Yeah, I had to unfollow a lot of account because they were posting passive-aggressive BLM stuff and god know what more. I've seen the same with a lot of LGBTQ+ people and accounts as well (not gonna repost/cite stuff here for reasons) but yeah they believe it's their right to hate on cis and/or straight people no reason other them, being that. Like how much do they actually know what other things that person might be?

Spoiler: Job rambles

So I quit my job when the pandemic started because my dads in the at-risk group for covid and I was a preschool teacher. He’s fully vaccinated now and I will hopefully be vaccinated soon too so now I’m looking for a job again.

The first childcare centre I worked at is hiring again and I’m on the fence about applying. I worked in their before & after school program with school aged kids and did some work within the childcare centre with the little ones as well. I left because I needed a full time job and I thought I might move out west but that didn’t pan out.

I loved the centre and I think it would be really lovely to work their again! But I’m also kind of nervous? I’m basically in the same boat that I was when I last worked there at 19. Which is kind of embarrassing. I still don’t have a degree. I still live at home. I still don’t drive. It just makes me feel a little weird to think about.

You're experiencing this as well, right? I only found out about the forest fires yesterday and it's a little saddening, to be honest. No wonder why I smelled something funny when I left the house and that the skies weren't that clear, even today. Even the air quality has gone bad. I really hope this will pass very soon. I'm not near those forest fires, but the smoke can really go far to the southern part of the province.

The lack of rain in my area is causing rivers amd waterfalls fo dry up, but the worst part is livestock farmers are having to put their animals down, because it's so dry...

Today was the first day of something I have to be doing for the next two weeks. I’m already so tired from just today, I’m not sure how I’m going to keep making it.
