What's Bothering You?

[Holla]

Edit: got it sorted out

 

[moo_nieu]

broke my partners giant tv on accident while packing the uhaul ;-; i fell over and my hand pushed in the screen

 

[xSuperMario64x]

my whole room smells like rotten sewage and I can't do a damn thing about it, it's so disgusting

edit: smell isn't gone yet and now I've got a horrible headache because of it so that's fun

edit 2: smell is like 98% gone now thank goodness, but my head still hurts really bad. I also accidentally took my sleeping med when I tried to take Excedrin so I might accidentally fall asleep soon rip

Sometimes it is so hard to talk to my parents about stuff, I was tryin to ask a simple question and it turned into a whole discussion about BC and dirt & rocks and such, like jeez next time I'll just ask Google omg. Not only this but anythin politics related in the slightest (like the current situation in Afghanistan) becomes an argument. When I ask about why American troops have been in Afghanistan for 20 years (I was 1-3 when this happened) it becomes an argument cause I'm tryin to ask questions since I don't understand somethin. So sorry I asked a question to better understand somethin that I possibly could not have the comprehension at the time it happened (20 years ago) nor did public school ever really talk about it.

It isn't even a thing about our choice of political parties, it's just my parents being, idk, rude? Fighty? That I don't understand? Idk the word for this situation.

And literally my question was 'How old is the country of Afghanistan.' That was literally my question and it became a whole yelling thing omgggg.

They also get mad when I raise my voice. I raise my voice cause you did it first to me, and I after you continued to do it, then I raised my voice in a pitiful effort to stop you from cutting me off mid sentence.

I don't want to complain about my parents but omg they give me alot to complain about. I don't even post 80% on here.

The situation in Afghanistan brings up a lot of internal (maybe even external at times) conflict surrounding politics I think, from both ends of the political leaning spectrum. And some people are just not comfortable discussing politics, I don't know why that is beyond avoiding leading to a possible argument, but if any of that applies to them then it might explain the reaction you got.

The situation in Afghanistan is what's bothering me right now btw, hence why I felt compelled to reply to you. I don't think you did anything bad by asking that question either, it's always good to try to understand what's going on in the world. How would we expect young people to vote if they haven't been taught what's happening in the world? I'm sorry it got the reaction it did.

I am shocked at both sides tbh. The far-right are coming out to scream about closing the borders to the refugees and saying they don't want them here. Some even had the heartlessness to crow over the death of a refugee child, who fell out of a window in a hotel on British soil, acting as if it was somehow ok because it was "only one of them" and "would've died in Afghanistan anyway". Cruel people. Never had any time for them.

Though sadly the far left, who I previously thought I maybe aligned with have been strangely quiet on it all. Seemingly because they daren't criticise Biden's handling of the Afghanistan situation (which was appalling and dangerous and cost way too many lives), because it would be like admitting they were wrong to assume he was going to be better than Trump. And that's fine I guess, but I remember the same people either jeering at Trump for every mess he made or calling for his impeachment when he made a very serious mistake. Why so silent on Biden? Why can't we call out both sides if we're going to do that? It cheapens the lives of many many Afghans if we become too proud to admit to being wrong or admit to the fact that neither side is "good" or "bad", both have good and bad elements, but we'll never achieve peace or come to a solution if we don't discuss and listen to each other without becoming hateful or under threat of cancellation. Nobody wants fascism, let's live and let live and work on closing the gap through respect.

Deep thoughts mannnnnn.....

The effects of my meds have been inconsistent recently. I’ll go from perfectly fine to absolutely hopeless. Maybe I’m forgetting to take them as much?

Edit: I had a minor panic attack after a disturbing image of my ex resurfaced in my mind. The medication thankfully kept my heart rate down. I have an idea why my brain went there, but it’s not definitive.

Spoiler

never mind

 

[TillyGoesMeow]

now that school has started in like 90x more stressed and my meds are causing my dreams to be insanely vivid again. That kind of exhausts me on its own. So I wake up super tired. I’ve also just been sleeping as soon as I get home. hopefully things even out after this week.

 

[ali.di.magix]

I really can't wait to get back to work so I have something to do. I have next to no hobbies, nothing interests me outside of work, no family nearby and no friends nearby (not that I could visit them anyway). Most days I just sleep in and stay in bed until midday because at least it wastes half the day away. Having the weekends off I can handle, but 2+ weeks at home is just driving me insane.

 

[xXJessXx]

Today I have a phone call interview for the first time. I struggle with bad social anxiety so I haven’t been able to sleep for a while just due to the thought of this upcoming phone call. I know it will only be 10 min max but I cannot wait for it to be over and done with just so it’s over and done with! I keep telling myself it will be fine, it’s just a call but I’m sure anyone struggling with anxiety will relate that it doesn’t stop the thoughts and worry in their head.

 

[moo_nieu]

throat hurts :/ not a great start to a 24 hr road trip

 

[jiny]

i don’t wanna be at school ;_;

 

[xSuperMario64x]

Spoiler: tw

I'm having issues w my self image again. just ate and now I feel disgusted w myself bc im so terrified of gaining weight and i get into fits where any amount of eating is enough to make me feel bad.

but I also don't really have the energy to work out so that's cool

 

[-Lumi-]

Spoiler: Just me complaining

Oh I don’t feel well. I might have to make a doctors appointment or something idk. I feel like this past month or so I’ve felt sick every day. I know it hasn’t actually been everyday but my tummy has been unsettled a lot, or I’ve had headaches, or a combo of the two, and sometimes I’m pretty dizzy. It doesn’t seem to matter what I do/don’t eat, there doesn’t really seem be any connection ?? I thought maybe it’s been the weather but it’s not been 30 degrees all the time.

Regardless tho it’s super lousy and I’m over it. and it’s not even like ive lost weight or anything either

 

[Lady Timpani]

Spoiler: career/ life planning woes

Trying to figure out what I want to do after next year... It was never my plan to make a career out of my current job, and I definitely don't want to stay in this lab past next year or maybe 2023, but idk what to do tbh. I've considered grad school a lot over the years, and I was hoping this job might help me figure out what I'd want to go for, but it hasn't really, and I don't want to just settle on a program because I don't want to work in the lab anymore. I also don't want to stay here longterm, but I worry about getting a new job and losing possible references for grad school from this job by leaving.

I'm also worried about my mental health with going back to school. Looking back on it I think school definitely had negative repercussions on me mentally and emotionally, and I actually feel fairly decent for the first time in a long time, and I worry that going to grad school will just make me feel bad again. Idk. But staying in a bad job obviously won't do wonders for my mental health either so asdflkf

This isn't a super pressing bother but it felt too heavy for the random thoughts thread. I still have time to figure things out, and tbh the situation with COVID is making me want to wait for school anyway. I just kind of wish I had a direction in life haha

 

[King koopa]

Just feel sad for some reason

Spoiler: Pet death

And my dad bringing up my cat who died last year isn't helping

 

[Dunquixote]

snip

my dad does the same thing :/. i’m sorry koopa you’re sad. if you want to talk, my dms are open. no pressure though. i hope you feel better soon.

Spoiler: personal

been doing pretty good lately but there are a few things that have been bothering me.

Still am troubled about what I read about a shoe company a year or so ago and where the money is going. This has nothing to do with the thread; I remembered reading about where the money was going and now it is bugging me again. I was hoping they stopped like Adidas had supposedly but the last article I could find on it was March 2021.

I used to love learning about things going on in the world but the fact things just continue happening in the region i’m interested in and not being able to do anything myself just frustrates and upsets me. I want to finish reading a bunch of books I bought on the conflict but it is so upsetting to put it lightly. I wish I could continue reading stuff even if I’m not feeling good or even if it makes me more depressed. Not sure how to explain my feelings so I am just going to stop there.

sad to hear a favorite artist of mine is still getting harassed among other things and twitter support is still not doing anything :/

 

[Bloodflowers]

I really don’t want to visit my husband’s parents tomorrow. I feel bad because they are good people and have shown me more kindness than my own parents ever did. The problem is they are very extroverted, especially my father in law. He can’t just enjoy the silence, every second has to be filled with conversation. In my third language which I struggle with. As an extreme introvert that is hell for me. I suppose I can chill upstairs with the cats if it becomes too much.

One I’ve been able to not think about by distracting myself with a drawing but, honestly I am just bugged about the circumstances even if it happened randomly. I have been enjoying myself but maybe not as much as I could have been :/.

Thanks for that. Luckily I feel better now, but I don't like it when my dad brings up things like that.
