How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

Deleted my ex's and her families numbers from my phone, blocked / removed on anything else i could see; having a buddy go through and delete all the photos tomorrow. It's time for my new life to begin. I mourn it, but eh, life goes on I suppose.
Might be getting kicked out of the car shop my would be friends share together. Hopefully not, but eh, at least I'd finally be rid of everyone, for lack of a better word, toxic in my life. It'll throw a wrench in the works and I'll have lost a lot of invested money in it; but hey, what is it worth to no longer deal with them I suppose.

I'm feeling comfy. I'm going to get myself smashed and I feel like I'm genuinely set up to take the year on my own terms again. I've lost a lot of face and opportunities from those who've made an enemy of me with their lies, and the family who I invested my trust came short consistently (If more from folly than from malice) buy I have another shot at my life now and it's a lot easier in certain key places than before. Rebuilding my old safety net and getting my standard of living back will take time and in terms of actually enjoying it, I suspect that this year will be another wash in terms of having fun but I'm sure that I'll rebuild myself.
 
I done fucked up and I'm grumpy about it.

Slept in yesterday, went out on a pretty social shopping and dinner trip. That was fine. Had a spot of weather that made getting home a bitch, that was fine. Got home late and kept our friends over until things were a bit more drivable, that was fine. Played board games and had an impromptu mini-party like we would have in college and that was fine.

However, I've been getting nervous about cognitive decline starting young in my family and have been on a supplement love quest for a few months. I have it pretty dialed in as far as a good balance of things to improve mood and focus in the present and hopefully protect the brain for the future, but it's really meant for half in the am, half in the afternoon. Since I didn't expect to be out and about so late, I didn't take my afternoon old person pill handful and instead took it at like 2300 and then because I didn't feel like drinking I made coffee at like 0200.

Having friends over and playing games and 2am coffee is fine in theory but man am I fucking grumpy today. Barely slept two hours and each time I get so tired I go lay down I just toss and turn and doing the deep breathing that normally helps gets me freaked out that I'm not getting enough air because I'm too focused on it.

I'm so done with this. My all-nighter days were over a long time ago. I even took some OTC sleep stuff but all it did was make the restlessness more pronounced.
 
Realized that I'm more serious about finding a job for my buddy than he is. So I gave him the rest of my advice and I'm letting that be that.
I offered to redo his resume with him, job hunt, etc. I'm not being taken up on any of that and the few jobs I sent him, one of them being "my dream job", he has waited at least a week to apply for. I'm sure it's gone.
He wanted me to help him on his resume through texting; hard no buddy.

Is he depressed? Sounds like he isn't motivated to do much of anything.

I know the feel though. I had to basically apply or force my ex to apply and accept almost every job he ever had, including the one he has now.


I had a decent day. Went to liturgy and to Costco, got my dresser fixed, talked with the bf a bit, and about to eat dinner. Which I really want because I took some migraine pills about two hours ago and the hole they are eating in my stomach right now is shitty. On the plus side though, migraine averted. Otherwise, that would be 12 hours of hell. Think I will take a walk after dinner, shitpost, and then off to bed.

I think he has a lot going on that can be summed up with "having no idea what he wants in life".

He's was a warehouse worker, no education. Claims he wants a college degree "to have one" but doesn't really have an idea in what. The things he says he does seems flimsy at best.
This is the same guy who wants to start a business; when I pressed him on if he really wants it, why he hasn't done X, Y, or Z; I just got a list of excuses. "I'm a perfectionist, scared to put stuff out there", bla bla bla.

I think he's a guy who likes to talk and embellish his skills, but won't really go after something. I need to have another talk with him while he's sober; but I cant make him do anything, only give advice.

If I were to don my psych hat, I'd say it stems from having a shitty father. The guy seems nice, sounds nice, but wasn't a good father if that makes sense.
 
I'm fucking cold. It's extreme sub-zero (fahrenheit fag) temperatures here now. I tried to go out this morning, lasted about 20 minutes, shouldn't have been out more than 10. I've been cold, sore, and tired ever since. My husband says I'm acting weird. I think it fucked with my physiology.
 
I noticed the problem recently that really hits hard.
I see everyone on here talking about their jobs and the nepotism and the amount of screwery they encounter all the time. And it made me think how lucky I've been to get a job that isn't that for once.
I'm trying to move soon. And there's this tense feeling all the time that this might be Lost Horizon and I might be leaving the equivalent of Shangri-La. Like maybe this dumb job in this small town is the best I can find out there. There's opportunity and chances where I'm going. But I just finally carved out a nice piece for myself pretty much BY MYSELF. I finally got a piece of the pie for once, but I know if I stay here too much longer, it's never gonna happen.
There's just enough here to make me hesitant to leave it behind and just enough to make me want to get as far away from here as possible.
I've been given the equivalent of a golden ticket in life, a rare opportunity to start over with some help. I should be ecstatic, and I am... but I see so many of the horrible ways it could go wrong.
I see everytime I come on here how much of an outlier my job is.
I have a friend here who's the literal second really great friend I've made.
Those are nice-ass things to have.
But they're surrounded by this air of hopelessness and borderline entropy that comes with places like these.
But I really don't see the point anymore in going to some corporate chain where I can't be myself, all that matters is my charisma level or who I'm fucking at the job and I'm being dictated to by a bunch of soulless faggots, especially for a sum of money that will barely cover my basic needs.
The date draws closer and closer and there's less excuses for me to waste money or put it off. There's nothing stopping me from continuing my life now but me. But I'm terrified of taking the next step. I'm bitter.
A year ago, I would have been on the first plane out of here. But I just had to become happy with the job I'm at. I just had to make a great friend.
I know my life will start when I leave here. But that's the problem. It will start. I'll actually have to make choices and commitments and not just imagine some wonderful fantasy world.
I still need to leave. There's not enough here for me to live a life. But there's real things of value that I bit and scraped and clawed my way to get.
Just fuck, man.
 
Can't sleep. If I sleep, the pipes might freeze. Must monitor water tap trickles, compulsively.

I insulated the fuck out of this place. I have warmers and insulation on all my water lines that I can physically access. I have a space heater in my utility room, and another in my kitchen, pointed at my open under sink cabinet. WHY GOD, WHY MUST I STILL DO THIS?

Some days, I kinda miss renting, when I didn't have to obsess over every little thing.
 
I hate the cold. I just want next week to come already.
I think he has a lot going on that can be summed up with "having no idea what he wants in life".
I'm having that problem too. I don't want the things I used to want. I'm disillusioned with everything I used to care about. There's things I wanted but they're not real or obtainable. Makes it hard to decide your next move or what your priorities are when it's all a big "eh." My job path has been weird and now I worry about future prospects after this one. I have things that occupy my mind and time but I'm not an audacious dreamer anymore and my hope and optimism in general are shot. It's why I complain about the world a lot, I have no investment in it anymore and all it does is cause me problems.
 
I think it hit me today while I was hitting the exhausted/fatigue stage of being at work today something really apparent.
I really, really don't like my life.
I know that's the norm but it just sunk in today and I wanted to lay down on the spot in a feetle position and never get up. It's awful because there's some great things in my life right now, and there's some awesome stuff coming up soon. But overall... I haven't been happy in years.

Sometimes it just hits me how little I have. I see people with dozens of friends all being jovial at work, men with multiple women they don't care about, people always talking about what they did with their families on the weekends.
And I just don't have that. I've wanted to have that my whole life.
I think that's the real reason incels/lost men become bitter and suicidal. That knowledge that you have no safety net and that you can't ever make a mistake. That almost nobody wants you around or will be there in the end kind of makes everything like finances, health and all of Maslow's basic hierarchy really almost unattainable if you hit a snag in the road.
That's what bothers me in the end.
If I break my leg, I'm fucked. If I get sick, I'm fucked. If I lose my place, I'm fucked. If anything that eventually happens to literally everyone happens to me, I have to pick up the pieces. Or I have to go to the one or two ride or die niggas I've got and feel shame for relying on them because I don't have anyone in my life.
Sometimes I just hate that holier than thou attitude everyone has about the down-n-out.
"Lol, you have to be a real sperg or ugly as fuck to not get laid."
"Oh that bum on the street put themselves in that position."
C'mon man... walk a mile in my shoes. I mean, sometimes that's right. But there's so many people out there that don't even have to worry about failing. Things just kind of work out no matter how much of a loser they are.

I just sometimes really hate the fact that I'm who I am. I hate that I unironically listened to my boomer parents' life advice or tried to keep myself on the straight and narrow. I've never been a criminal, never went out of my way to screw people over, don't have a DUI or anything... but I still have less than a lot of the people I know who did.
Part of jme ust wishes I grifted through life, used people, sold a persona and tried to show a set of values that I didn't have. Because that seems to be the thing that just works anymore. I see it everywhere. I shouldn't have had to do it all alone. I shouldn't feel like everything's on me at all times. I've known so many people who went out of their way to fuck their life up and still did just fine because they still had people on their side. And sometimes I think they had those people partially because they didn't care.
I don't know if there's any escape for me. I've thought of just leaving the country, but I'll still be me wherever I go. Maybe art, but I find myself really jaded about those prospects more and more lately.
I don't internalize things as much anymore. I at least think now I deserve some love and decency. But I feel like I'm so at odds with everything and everyone that I can't ever really achieve it. I don't know what the fuck is wrong with me.

On that note, I'm going to try my best not to post a lot on here until I find some sort of answer, (because god knows I've powerleveled enough for a thread at this point). I just don't know if there is one anymore.
Again, I appreciate the help and consideration everyone's given me on here. I've gotten a considerable amount of goodwill from the fucking fruit forum of all places. A whole lot of great people giving me really excellent advice, taking time out of their day to do so. I love you guys.
The issue at the end of the day is I think with some people... you don't have one bad happening at the moment. You're having that day and every other bad day that's happened before and all of the infinite ones that could happen in the future. And, that's a lot to take on.
Sometimes it just hits really hard.
 
I just came to work and just as I was entering, everyone was leaving. The whole day got canceled halfway through since the winter storm disrupted everything. My boss wasn't even there at the area we work at. I gave him a call and he told me to clock in an hour and come back tomorrow while I enjoy an impromptu three day weekend. This is nice. I'm happy with it.
 
Was victim of phone scammer credit card fraud. They pretended to be my bank and were querying 'transactions'. Long story short, I got done for 9k. I've talked to the bank, looks like it 'might' be ok, but they are not obligated to refund stupidity and lack of caution.
My only defence is I have a rotten cold and am in a hazy head space, but it's no excuse, I'm such a fucking stupid arsehole, like one of those old biddies you see getting taken for a ride. Just struggling with the constant panic attacks and the feeling I've let my partner down so bad, going over it again and again, just mentally punching myself in the brain, what if, what if.. Dark times.

I'm not looking for sympathy, I fully expect everybody to judge me a stupid cunt, just wanted to share
