What's Bothering You?

Thank you for your words Moo ❤im so sorry for your loss oak.thats a really hard decision to make.
I had to call the police this morning because my client still wouldn’t answer the door and it turns out that she had a stroke she isn’t my favorite person, but I feel bad. I have no idea how bad it is or if she will make it. I went home and went back to sleep and now I feel really groggy and out of it.
I've learned that dairy apparently causes acne for me now. I've always been a bit lactose intolerant, but I was able to ignore it, but this new development is making me adjust my diet. （；´д｀）
RIP ice cream and whipped cream, you will be missed. I only somewhat regret eating a ton of desserts on Christmas.
I don't think it's a bad thing to be dissatisfied with what you make though. It's certainly frustrating, but you'll have at least tried and maybe learned from it. Sometimes I redraw the exact same thing 3-4 times, maybe abandon it for a few months before coming back to it, etc. but each time there's a bit of progress being made, whether you realize it or not. If you've seen those "redraw your old art" things, it might help to give it a try with that intention: you draw it how you can now, and then in a year or so, redraw it again.
I was in the same boat lately, and that's sort of how I've forced myself to draw things that I felt I wasn't "good enough" for yet. Acknowledging that I can redraw it in the future when I do improve helped alleviate some of the pressure for me.

I feel like this is pretty common amongst artists -- I'm very much the same! I've been changing up and experimenting with how I colour and shade regularly because I'm rarely "happy enough" with it and still getting used to different tools. We're our harshest critics!idk what the deal is, and there isn't much logic to my thinking, but I just really don't like my own art. I compare myself to other artists a lot and idk I'm just not content with the way I draw and shade. and bc I have no emotional permanence, even if someone tells me one time that my art is good I start to think otherwise a few short days later
so like I really want to draw an old character of mine but I have so little faith in my art skill that I don't even feel like trying. I want it to be as good as it can be and I just don't know if I can do it without being dissatisfied again

^ ty for the encouragement Mistreil! I still haven't been able to get myself to draw but maybe I'll try later.
I figured I would feel tired today bc I did so much work yesterday, and sure enough most of my energy is gone and I'm really tired. I wonder if I should go take a nap. I'm still bad abt beating myself up when I don't get anything done on a day, like today I really wanted to do laundry, but it may just have to wait til tomorrow :/ today I just need to take care of myself.

just the fact that my parents didn't care that I got diagnosed with adhd, depression and anxiety and are still trying to blame my lack of focus on ME just being lazy is just... it hurts so so much. to be dismissed like this. the way they didn't even try to understand what adhd is and how it had affected me my whole life. not even a hug, not even a word of comfort. haha yeah no I'm never telling them anything about me ever again.
i hate midterms.. so so much, so stupid that they exist. my science teacher decided to give me a whole packet and wants it done by monday. your 7 page packet does NOT make me want to study, you could’ve just given us information about on what to study so i could’ve just made a quizlet. just why
also i have a C in science, big sad so i better do good on that midterm.

I had to give-up dairy a couple of years ago. It's a strange adjustment, but it's surprising how easy it is to get used to. Non-dairy alternatives for a lot of things are actually really good! Especially soya yoghurt.
I woke-up at 5am in a lot of pain, managed to fall back to sleep, but then overslept by several hours (almost 11am). Pretty annoyed at myself because my productivity tends to plummet after lunchtime and I have 6 pages to go on this project still. It's due Tuesday.
Yeah I also had to give up a lot of dairy (mostly milk, yogurt, creamy cheese and some others) mostly due to my tum not being able to handle it. But yeah I mainly stick to oat options sine I don't like almond and most soy products are crap here. Sucks most stores takes overprices for a lot too though. Kinda fun cause you could probably produce oat stuff and such in your apartment cheaper.
Anyway on topic, dumb cold weather here and I need to go outside, boo.

Oddly enough I ended up being fairly productive. My head is exploding now though. There's only so much I can cover in a day before I get overwhelmed.
My husband had the first of two surgeries to repair his broken left ankle on Monday (Jan. 3rd). We were told before the surgery that the second would take place "a few days/short time" later. My husband was just informed that his second surgery isn't going to be until approximately Feb. 13th. That is not a few days or a short time. That's 5 weeks from now. Hubby is also going to have a picc line inserted because the surgeon wants him on IV antibiotics the whole time. WT*? This is not how this was explained to us. We're all stunned - especially my hubby.

yeah that's super ableist, I'm really sorry you have to deal with that. it might help to get to know some people who also have ADHD (I myself have it) so that you have a support network and someone to fall back on when someone else hurts you.
im so impatient lol, I know a seller on Mercari has 3 days to ship an item but these people have already had me waiting almost 2 days and I hate waiting for mail orders like this. when I sell stuff I always ship it within 24 hours, I know it's unrealistic to expect everyone to do that as well but it would be nice if I at least got a heads up or smth lol.

Hey, Shellzilla. I’ve been taking a break from this thread, but I will reply to this.
I’m really sorry your family doesn’t believe in the vaccine shots. It’s kind of ridiculous with all the science behind it. And it’s especially ridiculous when there’s been other pandemics in the past in the world, and no one was as afraid of vaccines as they are now. It especially annoys me when people bring politics into it. This isn’t about politics or anything else, it’s about people’s HEALTH. Theoretically, if everyone started getting a new type of “flu,” but there was a vaccine to prevent it, would you refrain from getting the vaccine? NO! You wouldn’t, because it’s a basic procedure that has close to, if not 0%, chance of killing you. It just disgusts me that people are so divided on this when it’s such a basic concept.
As for the job hunt, all I can say about that is to not give up. I’ve sent in dozens upon dozens of applications within the past year+, and been rejected from all of them at some point in the interview process. I have a part-time job right now, however, and I also sent in an application for a company I have a reference for. There’s always the chance they could move me forward in the hiring process, but even if they don’t, I have other companies in mind. So yeah, don’t give up, because you never know what might happen.
Lastly, I completely understand feeling burnt out on your hobbies and passions. I’ve felt much the same recently. Not much I can say as advice there, other than try to find one that’s stress-free that you also enjoy, at least until you’re interested in your other ones again.
I hope you’re doing okay, and I wish you a good rest of your week.

my friend said he's upset about something and I really feel bad bc I want to ask what's wrong but I'm also really tired and emotionally drained rn and idk if I can handle replying to anything he says. maybe I can just listen, though he usually likes me to reply instead of just ignoring it.
idk I'm just really bad at socializing lol rip
edit: k so I asked him, i always want to ve a good friendo and let my friends have a listening ear. and as I suspected he's having what he can only describe as ~girl problems~, but he should know that I'll always be here and I would never do anything to upset him. I love that boy
