How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

[TheRatcatcher]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I feel fucking great. I got back into writing even though people call my ideas shitty, I'm in a better mood all the time, I've mostly stopped watching pornography, and I've quit several bipolar addictions.

 

[Digital Thunder]

I'm presently self-exiled from the only friend group I currently keep up with because one friend's going through a severe family crisis (apparently not for the first time in their lives by a longshot, but for the first time since I've come to know them) and my natural reaction was to incapacitate myself on their behalf to a point where I was physically suffering for it. I don't know why I'm like this. I do feel better for stepping out though.

WFH really sucks when you don't have a "home office" and your office is your living room...at this point I would literally pay to be able to get back to my cubicle a couple days a week.

Really doubling down on financial independence is hard but i'm trying my best! Mental health wise doing great!

Had extended family visit for the first time since last Christmas last week. Was really nice to have everybody over for several days and (mostly) have my mind off of Clown World for a change, but since they've left it's like I've had this relapse back into despair...

I can't get through a day anymore without politics coursing through my mind, that fear of how everything's getting worse and worse with the governments power grabbing everywhere they can with their fearmongering over the political virus and watching swaths of people just go along with it and become mindless zombies, to say nothing of the never-ending riots and constantly increasing insanity from the left's attempts to rip this country apart.

In my worst state, I get that awful sense that I'm witnessing the book of Revelation itself unfold before my eyes. It's a struggle to fall asleep because my brain will "stay on" and run worst-case scenarios (aka end times stuff) over and over in my head and it's a 50/50 chance if my dreams will devolve into similar nightmares.

Just last year I was able to keep politics mostly out of my life and be relatively content with my place in the world despite some craziness and worries here and there, but now there's no escape to be found from the madness no matter where I turn, and it's eroding me day by day...

After a long day at work, and before one today, I got Third Age Total War: Divide and Conquer up and running again for the first time in a year or so. Kinda makes me want to re read the books, but with a large backlog, I think it would be better to read something new. I got my hands on some old American WW2 field manuals, might flip through them instead.


How are you?

 

[Coffee Druid]

Sharing a bunch of depression memes because I pulled an all nighter and feel like shit like always. Probably going to regret it later. Maybe it's a thinly veiled plea for help but people will just get irritated at me instead, I'm sure.

Besides the usual pandemic junk keeping me locked up with family and unable to see anyone I actually love, it's finals week here and my sleep schedule is shot to hell.

blu ray on the ps4 is fucked and I can't play disc games on it.

 

[Observerer]

It's nice to see that even Farmers are human.

I got excited, then disappointed, when I missread the notice as saying that Russel Greer "demands trial by combat"

Classic, Slim or Pro? If you have even middling competency with a screwdriver set and access to ebay, a new drive is about ten minute's work to replace, needn't be a massive deal.

ETA: Today was a giant bowl of whale-shit soup with rusty caltrop croutons, thanks to the ex wife, but a good friend pulled a huge win out of the day before the finish. ❤

 

[Sped Xing]

I got kicked out of a facility today for walking in a parking lot that I had, in the normal course of my duties, parked my truck in.

My boss was furious, but I think the guy who kicked me out expected my boss to be furious *at me.*

 

[Damien Thorne]

I really am not liking working from home, I really do not like that my gym has been closed for a while, and I really wish I could buy some fellow extroverts here a beer.

it was a classic but I manged to fix it. Was not the disc itself (tried other games it and it worked) it was a corrupt file.

I'm looking at gym equipment since wearing a mask to work out is intolerable. It's surprisingly affordable.

Not much help if you don't have space for it, though. :/

work was dumb this morning, nothing works at my job.

 

[Witlich]

Feeling excited! My birthday's one day away, and I feel so fortunate that my family still celebrates it with me.

 

[Coffee Druid]

Feeling kind of excited but also incredibly anxious. The opportunity to move out has finally appeared for me to move in with a friend. I can finally get out of this stupid place. However, I'm a bit apprehensive because I know my dad will blow up at the idea of me leaving and do everything he can to force me to stay and tell me I'm being stupid. But he can't legally stop me so eh.

Get your shit organised and make sure that it's actually viable for you to go, if you suspect there will be ructions at you leaving. If you leave and then have to come back because something didn't work out, you'll be getting "I told you so" and "remember the last bright idea you had?", etc. for ages thereafter. Better to leave later and definitively, than rush out the door and end up regretting it more than waiting a bit.

A couple of family members caught the wuflu. Combined with not being able to find reliable work in Texas, I think it's time for me to go back home. I'm very sad. I'm gonna have to go back in the closet and pretend like I'm happy in one of the most hateful, bigoted families I've ever had to witness, but the fact is that until I get in a place where I can financially afford college, this is what I have to rely on. For now, it's just a matter of not going ballistic and putting a few rounds in my chromosome donors.
