How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

It's been a little over two weeks and while I'm still recovering from a surgery it's getting better.

Also my professor decided to assign us a group project. In an ONLINE class. And it's an essay. Whee.

Lastly none of my friends are playing any of the online games I've been into lately. Shit's lonely.

Nothing too awful overall, just a lot of being really bored I guess.

My migraines are getting much worse. Stress? Certainly. Not sure if that's the reason why though. That's the scary part. I take non-narcotic meds that consistently helped for a long time but they aren't helping anymore. Doc says I can take two, gonna try that and see if that helps

Hi Chanfan

Made a throwaway account just to answer this, because I know just how agonizing they can be. I suffered from the really bad ones all my life that became impossible to deal with. The type that were strong enough to make me go blind beforehand, and vomit extremely hard after the blindness phase ends and the extreme pain arrives. It was impossible to do anything but just go to bed and try to sleep through it whenever they hit.

Anyway, I got fed up years ago and began desperately searching for any kind of relief (tried sumitriptan and some other stuff from the doctors, but that didn't help). I started digging around on google scholar and found a few peer reviewed papers that suggested that taking magnesium supplements could reduce migraine incidence by about 30-50% and make the symptoms easier to deal with. I started taking magnesium malate pills years ago (about 2x the recommended daily dose every day) and haven't had a migraine since. Couldn't fucking believe how effective it was.

I know that this won't work for everyone, because I suspect migraines are caused by difference factors depending on the person, but give it a try. Even if it doesn't outright cure yours, it could give you some form relief.

My rabbit is showing signs of head tilt which is really shitty, because it can be caused by a ton of different things and treatment is a crapshoot, and rabbits are considered an exotic pet so vet bills are fucking ridiculous. He isn't doing too bad at the moment, he's alert and eating here and there, but rabbits can decline so quickly that it's scary and his vet doesn't start until later today so I have to wait.

Also my mom's not feeling well and the other day my boyfriend hung out with someone whose roommate might have COVID so that's great.

Waiting for my first big boy adult apartment. Got 3 weeks to burn and Ive never been more bored.

Scared of having to define myself as an adult now as opposed to a student. Only my own behavior from now on limits me to dying lonely and sad or full of big tiddy girls. I've lost all interest in gaming yet mostly resonate with people who still play, yet those tend to define themselves as LoL players and Marvel fans, which is discrediting my ancient upbringing with actual memes and not 9gag.

I want to reject the nerd, but alas I am the nerd.

Got hit with bad news this month. Seems for two birthdays in a row I get told I have kidney cancer. The cancer I had in June 2019 and had an operation to remove half of my kidney in October 2019 has returned and looks like I will need the remaining half removed.
If anyone remembers I have Systemic Lupus so kidneys are targets of my whacked out immune system the oncologist and nephrologist will want me on a donor list as soon as my kidney is removed otherwise I run the risk of being on dialysis since the main cause of death in Lupus is either kidney or liver failure.
My spirits are okay honestly, my family is devastated but I do my best to remain calm for them.
This is my third cancer battle but I know I will beat it again!
As long as I get to laugh everyday and smile, I'm doing okay. :)

My doctor didn't find it as funny when I said : "Third times a charm eh?"

At least you have a sense of humor about your problem. I find that medical personnel are just boring, soulless individuals. I wish you the best in your recovery.

Seeing how very few people are immune to the global brainwashing going on is very distressing and I'm wondering what it's going to take to free people from it, if it's even possible at this point.

I understand why it doesn't work on me but I'm not sure how the other people aren't affected.

There's also such thing as "not giving a shit"/being a bloomer.
Don't take it personally,please. But I think that it's better to pass as a commoner, while still informing oneself, rather than yelling at everyone that the "end is nigh" and having your message misunderstood.

At this point I don't even want to fight it, I just want to go somewhere simple where people just want to have private, normal lives.

In short, you need to learn to ignore/tollerate stuff that makes you mad,lol.

Compared to the last time I posted on this thread, I’m doing better mentally. I’m still friends with my ex and the experience helped me figure out what’s wrong with myself and I’ve found a solution. I took up writing in a diary again, I used one during middle school and it actually had helped me with planning the area.
I’m also acting like writing in a diary is a super secret thing so people don’t ask me about details or if they could read this crap. I don’t reread my diary work so no one will ever be able to spellcheck my ass.

I'm exhausted. After my workplace reopened, I'm juggling between teaching offline and online class and my schedule is messed up as a result.

During the WFH period, I got back into my old bad habit of touching myself and pull all nighter playing video games almost every fucking day. So now I'm trying to get rid of them once more before I get too addicted again.

It looks like I have to reset my habits this month. Guess I'll start with my morning routine of praying, meditation, and exercise. Funny thing is, I also started managing my habits around the same time last year.

Got my diploma today. Was worried I hadn’t actually finished all my degree requirements.

Am worried about student loan debt. I’ve paid off 30% so far (39k down to 27k), but I don’t have a job and that sweet extra federal unemployment money runs out at the end of the month. I don’t have to start paying until October and I have a year’s worth of payments set aside so I’m good for right now, but nonetheless.

I’m finally being a big leaf and learning how to drive!
