My laptop decided to randomly error itself and make me get stuck on the BIOS menu. I can’t open it to use my laptop and I have a suspicion that my hard drive is done for since it says “no storage device present”. This could potentially mean that all the important files including a ton of drawings I’ve made over the years are just gone. Thankfully, I backed most of them up in advance along with a few saved on imgbb, but it’s still heartbreaking to see hours and hours of work disappear like that. 
But it’s not the only thing I’m worried about. I also use my laptop for college stuff and now it’s just making stuff harder for me with finals coming up.
I didn’t smack my laptop or anything. It just happened out of nowhere during normal use. I’ll just curl up in a corner I guess.

Yeah, I don't know what's with technology these days. My Lenovo Legion gaming laptop is only a year old and it has screen issues from time to time, which... should not be happening. I swear they're probably making these devices for less cost and cheaper materials these days, but I'm not sure.
Anyway, I'm really sorry about this, buddy. I hope you're able to figure out a solution soon.
A thing that bothers me about living with my parents sometimes is the stuff they both watch on TV when I'm not in the living room. I've become a much more sensitive person since 2020, and they still feel the need to blare the national news at 6:30 despite voicing my concerns about how negative and uneasy it feels to me. Even then, they'll sometimes DVR it and watch it at completely random times without me knowing, thus forcing me to stay in my room. My dad even watches more political stuff than I'd like to admit. Like, why would you guys subject yourselves to such mental torture?
There has never been a single good thing to come out of that national news program every time I accidentally look at or listen to it at random times. My parents cannot convince me otherwise. Most of the time, they report about stuff that would make me extremely nervous. That's the reason why I've permanently stopped watching news programs in general except if they're sports related. They always make me feel worse about myself and the things around me.
At least my parents know to mute or change the channel on the TV if they are made aware of me going in the room. I know that they're less sensitive than I am, but come on. I really hate the stuff they watch sometimes and how loud they leave the TV in general.

I hate when my insurance company forces me to get my medication delivered... and now I will be running out by the time they even ship it. It is a new one too. I can't afford to miss my doses, I have to be consistant with it in order for myself to fully adjust to it.
Thankfully I've seen some proper sakura here this year, but I really wanted to see the temple near us in sakura season as well 
We go to that temple every month so we have seen it through all seasons, and since we are leaving next month I thought it would be iconic the see it in sakura for the last time!
We were planning to go last week, but a couple of days before that I injured my back and couldn't go... I hoped I would be better enough by the weekend, but sakura is now officially done and I still haven't gone...
I know it's an extreme luxury problem, but I feel very sad not being able to see the temple in sakura for the last time

Not too long ago I shared here that I was the victim of a crime and I finally reported it to the police, but the perp reported ME to the police for making a public statement about what he did that 2000+ people saw. It was a lot but I thought by now I’d be coping with it better. I’m not. I’m so stressed and overwhelmed by this investigation and rather unhelpfully the police didn’t even attend the day I was supposed to give my propper statement so I still haven’t given anything other than my initial report. And I have so much evidence to hand over too I’m just waiting for them to do their jobs. I heard they’re busy right now so maybe it’s that.
All of this has messed with my uni life so severely and it’s really deregulating because the foundation for my entire life is university. I’m lost without the structure that academics provide but the summer just began so i don’t have classes anymore and I have three assignments I need to submit but I’ve worked on none of them. I asked for an extension on all those assignments last week and the university still haven’t gotten back to me with a decision so I really hope the extensions are retroactive because I’ve actually already missed a deadline that was last week - it was a stupid assignment I don’t even want to do. I have another deadline tomorrow and this one is actually important so I’m freaking the hell out. I’m gonna go cook halloumi and do some research I guess… Who wants to bet if I can write 2500 words without crying today???

Just an update post, but she's doing perfectly okay now.
She wasn't making to her litter box and she was moving sluggish. Her meow was a rough sound too. Had me worried sick.
My laptop threw a lot of BSOD yesterday to the point I had to do a system restore, after that it still works ok for now. I have no idea what happened, but since the laptop is almost 6 years old with a broken hinge, i might have to look for a replacement.
The laptop is getting up there in age, but I still have a 15 year old one that works fine. Just might take a few minutes to boot up. If you're pressed for money, there's a few things you can to do keep it going for a bit longer. A full on system restore might help, but if there's some kind of program leeched in there that could be causing the problem or sucking memory unknown to you, it might hang on after the system restore.
Check your programs out. Could be some you didn't download and sneaked in or older programs you don't need anymore that are hogging memory. I think defragging my old laptop also helped it. Depending on how old your laptop is, your device might already do it without your knowledge/automatically and might not need it.
I broke up with my bf today. So like about 2-3 months ago he got a new job. And he has this coworker. He’s admitted she’s attractive. She’s tried to flirt with him he said. He said they’re just friends. But like every single time we’re on the phone it’s “so and so this, so and so that” it’s like constantly him talking about her and being all excited about her and now they go to the gym together after work and workout together. And he said he’s gonna let her use his kitchen to cook some cause she’s staying with a friend right now. So he’s gonna let her come over and use his kitchen to cook whenever. Also a lot of the time we’re talking on FaceTime I hear his texts come through and he gets distracted and they’re from her.
Like I feel like I’m justified in being concerned? Idk if I’m overreacting because of my BPD. Like I let it go for awhile. I don’t have a problem with him having friends or female friends but this just seems really excessive especially for someone he barely knows and is completely enamored with.
But idk. So I broke up with him. We’re also long distance at the moment so it complicates things further.
The thing is I don’t even think he realizes it’s happening. Like I literally believe he believes that nothing is going on. I don’t think things have to get intimate though for it to be considered cheating. But that’s just my opinion. I really just got sick of all our conversations revolving around her and what they’re gonna do. It would be one thing if they weren’t attracted to eachother but they are.
Idk maybe I’m overreacting but it was really aggravating me and I don’t want to sit here and hear it play out.
We’ve been together for a year and have known each other for 10

I am so ****ing fed up with Spotify. I originally got it because I wanted a music platform with background play, but they've been blacklisting so many basic features to push their premium **** that it makes listening to music so much more unbearable. The desktop version was a bit more lenient than mobile, so I mostly listened to music on my Chromebook... Until now.
For the past day or so, Spotify just wasn't working for me. Like, songs wouldn't even load (or they would take a while to do so). I thought it was my device being slow, but this was on both my Chromebook and phone, and I realized there was an update. I updated the app on both devices, and lo and behold... I can't rewind and loop songs now because Spotify on my Chromebook is just like the mobile version. :/
And I mean that literally. Spotify looks like this:
I don't understand this change at all. The old layout (pictured below, it's an old screenshot I took) was just fine. Just... UGH!!!
I almost considered getting their stupid premium subscription, but I just don't have the means to spend $11 monthly so I can listen to music without their stupid-ass limitations. At this point I should just switch to a different platform because Spotify is so goddamn aggravating.

When you're in a position to justify spending money on a music streaming service I'd absolutely recommend going for it. You'll definitely feel the benefit if you're a daily music listener.
I used to subscribe to Spotify but now prefer YouTube Music.

Nah
This project is going to be the death of me - since it started, I've been feeling worse mentally than I have in years, and that's been affecting my physical health as well (provided they're connected at all).
I just feel exhausted, fed-up, sick, and generally awful.
Right, it sucks! I used to listen to music on youtube but the ads and limiting updates are getting ridiculous there too. D:
I've started using the screen recording feature on my phone to save the songs as videos, and from there I can convert them into mp3s or wavs using an app like VLC Media player. It's a little tedious, but it lets you play music offline without fees or ads so I think it's been worth it. Hopefully you can find a solution that works better for you.

Edit: Okay, I wrote out this long-ass vent, but now I feel weird about posting it for some reason. I'm just having a really bad day and I'm frustrated/pissed off about a LOT of things.
