How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

[Stoneheart]

i stepped on a bee, it was not fun because it was on sand and right in the middle of the foot. was fine after a little swim but i desinfected it when i came home.

Had a really nice walk today, no pain in the ankles, no back/hip pain, just a little upper-back tightness noticed a couple hundred yards from home. And to think there was a time when I could take such a walk for granted. Walked about two miles.

how many people stopped and asked if you were lost?

 

[AnOminous]

Made shrimp ramen, then added onions and an egg and poached it in the noodles. The egg had two yolks in it, which was like a little free gift.

None, but wonder what planet the black guy in the parking lot was on.

I am slowly disconnecting from emotionally draining people in my life so I can recharge with solitude. If someone offered me 30 days alone in a forest cabin with nothing except music, books, and my hobbies, I would take it without missing a beat. I've figured out recently I am not wired to live in A Society so I'm gradually creating a life that allows me to contribute without actively participating in it if that makes sense. Working from home, choosing who I interact with carefully, and spending more energy on my emotional and physical health. I hope it pays off, I am tired of being exhausted constantly.

I also went cold turkey on antidepressants so I can work through what I've avoided through pharmaceuticals. They were making me numb and apathetic. I think that's contributing to my exhaustion because I am learning how to process emotions I generally had no exposure to previously, and they're intense to deal with in the first instance. It's nice to get to a point where I realize intense emotions aren't bad, they're actually quite normal considering the stress I am under at any given time, and I can spend time reassuring myself that it's okay to feel. I have spent most of my life feeling like I needed to show nothing to not drive people away and I'm glad I don't feel obligated to do that anymore. It's okay to feel things.

I’ve been really stressing since Saturday and I don’t want to be a downer but I need to just vent: I’m really hurting and I’m scared. I had a really bad grease fire in my apt when I was making breakfast and it did quite a bit of Damage before I was able to extinguish it.

I received second and 3rd degree burns all over my left foot/ankle as well as a number of less severe burns on my hands and face. I just received a skin graft from my thigh to replace the destroyed tissue on my foot. This will be my fourth night in the hospital and it’s the most excruciating pain I’ve ever been in. I’m currently waiting for a nurse to help me hobble over to the toilet. I feel so embarrassed and useless right now. I don’t want to stress my parents out too much so I’ve been playing it cool with them, but I’m not in good shape right now

Even 2nd degree burns are pretty hellish if they cover large area of your skin, can't imagine what you're going through. And you still manage to think about your parents. I hope you get some relief soon so that you won't have to pretend like you're doing well. Also, you're not useless.

Sometimes extreme emotions need to be dulled for the person to heal, but long term that numbness becomes difficult. Hope you have some nice people around you, other than those energy-sucking ones.

Awoken at one in the morning due to an alarm and to my joy it's the fire alarm of the cunt neighbours who threatened my fiance's nieces a few months back! Everyone seems to be alive but man karma is sweet Two fire engines in attendance and I assume they're doing the bog standard investigation now. Couldn't have happened to nicer people :')

I really want to travel and explore somewhere all by myself.. But I don't have the money, life, skills, or means to do so.

My grandfather passed away of cancer last Thursday morning.

I remember when my Grandma left me. Was a very hard time for us too. Sorry for your loss friend.

As of right now, my life is going alright. Despite certain personal events, such as the death of my mother. Yet despite that, my situation could certainly be much worse than it is now, and I'm thankful that my life (while certainly not perfect) is in a state where my needs are still provided for. I just hope I don't become complacent and think this will last.

My anxiety and panic attacks are ruining my life again.

 

[Second Sun]

My anxiety and panic attacks are ruining my life again.

I've been unable to calm down for weeks too. Things would be fine if I could just zone out for 3 months, but every waking second is just a constant reminder of how alone and worthless I am. It won't stop.

 

[Anime Kid With Goggles]

There's a physical characteristic that a lot of people seem to bully for, and bully others for. It's hard coping with it and it offends me and gets me mad very easily. Idk how to cope with it better. I just get very emotional.

Satan tempts me daily, and I fold and sin against the Lord. I forget the Gospel which is written in my heart, and I question whether God will sustain me like He does the fowls of the air.

I will try to do better tomorrow.

I'm angry. Very very angry. At specific groups of people.

I know the feeling. It helps to know that, whatever our sins, the Lord will still demonstrate His love for us and show us mercy. While it may not last forever, it is good that it lasts for a day, that we might repent and endeavor to remain upon the path He has set for us.

So long as you understand and keep trying your best, God will never abandon you. We all stumble off the path from time to time. It is in our nature and part of our spiritual growth.

My boss is leaving at the end of the month, and I have some mixed feelings about it. She hired almost half of the company and has an uncanny knowledge of the workings and politics of the company so it's gonna be detrimental to the department to lose that. I've been absorbing some of her duties with a system we all manage and that's been pretty easy, so I'm not too worried about it since I've got a year and change experience with it. It's also got a pretty reliable support staff thanks to the company that sold it to us, so I'll have that resource to lean on. Anxious about who's goanna repalce her though.

This'll be a good change professionally, because I'll have to manage the system myself and I need the experience anyway. Employers also love hearing those stories of "I had this challenge thrown at me, so I rose to the occasion by....." Speaking of, I have been looking to hop to a bigger market, but now feel like I've got an obligation to stick around just because I'll be the most senior employee in the department. If I bail, then everything will fall onto the shoulders of the other guy in the department who's super new to the field. I'm sure he'd rise to the occasion, but ah dunno.
