How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

Do you feel like you constantly get hyper-fixated on shit?
On occasion, yes. It's enough that I skip out on meals and melt down for hours on end. It usually takes a few days at best and a few weeks at worst to get over.

Best case scenario, it's on a creative endeavor. Worst, it's shit like the negative feedback loop. Or people who piss me off which is thankfully rare as I'm rather mellow.

If anything though, the negative tends to tire me out and I sleep for 8 hours instead of 5.
With antidepressants you'll have the motivation to get out more and it'll balance itself out. Don't let the delusions of depression win over your own happiness.
I suppose I gotta talk with the shrink about it. I'd like to find a way to get out of the deep black pit of misery, I sometimes launch myself into unwillingly.

I talked it out with one of the handful that was involved and that kinda made me feel better. I'm no longer miserable, just kinda under the weather as some people tend to be after a mental spiral.

I really don't know what caused it to flare up considering it's been dormant for years but at the very least I can make sense of them now. Maybe it's just compound of family stuff, death, birthday party stress and what else and one tiny thing just flipped my lid.

I do not like giving ear drops to my cat, and he has voiced his displeasure, but he seems to be doing much better.
It’s worth it. One of my ferrets needs twice daily meds and he is not a fan. The stronger and healthier he gets the more he fights 😤 and he’s gotten fat (thankfully!) so I can’t really scruff him.

But they can’t this for themselves. It’s worth the discomfort.

Thread tax - new med dosages seems to be working, but definitely feel kind of out of it some days. Not sure if it’s related, seeing Dr about it next week.

I hate meds.

Is he doing that cute thing where he shakes his head repeatedly trying to get the drops out of his ear canal? With the not-so-cute side effect of ear gunk flying everywhere? :story: Just remembered how it was with my cat.

Sunday he shook his head around and one of the drops shot out of his ear right into my eye. Burnt like hell. Now I rub his ears into his head when he pulls away.
 
It hasn't hit the news yet but through the grapevine (think like the "friend's sister's mailman's neighbor" type connection) I've heard about a Michigan woman that just brutally murdered her roommate's baby while the roommate was at work. Baby's head got 5x bigger than it was supposed to be, suffered in a hospital for a few horrible hours, then died at like 3 months old.

I cried so hard and I don't even know the mom, let alone the baby! I hope they kill that fucking bitch in prison the way she killed that baby.

So yeah had an emotional day today.
 
I went 5 years through uni in the most meaningless way imaginable. 80 mins from campus by train, no clubs no events no relationship with the teachers. I quite liked academia so it's no wonder I'm envious of those stuck in the sphere. This one chick from my hometown did fashion and whatever in straya and finland, and now doing some "feminist AI" crap, but nonetheless she stuck in the academia community.

So much of the world just seems niche and happenstance. Kyoto summer school. Who the hell comes across this if not by physical proximity? "Oh your uni is doing this thing", but from the other end of the world? I'm sure it's some 5 week nothingburger but I do miss actually learning. Instead I'm stuck here with a worthless degree not landing any gigs. I know it's summer but literally half the jobs are maternity cover and the remainder are wishy-washy instead of just X title, Y duties, done.

The other day I came upon a literal 4/10 nobody chick on a dating app, but she was a participant or trainer in 4-5 different clubs including creative workshops and shit and I'm like.. okay, her job literally does not matter with how many things she's got going on. I'd fucking love to be part of something but club culture here is age 6 to 14 and 50 to 70. The only ones my age who partake in sports are those who did it as a kid, took on a teaching job part-time and just stuck around.

I've said it before but how the fuck do you hire people who can't speak English properly at a LANGUAGE COMPANY? Sure, they're not the ones doing linguistic work, just contacting external resources and sending/receiving files, etc, but god damn you should at least be fluent in English. Why the fuck do I have to explain things to you like you're an 8 year old?
As someone trying to find a job and then interning at a few high-profile places, how do anyone get a job? "Outlook and Office" are fucking primary requirements in most of these and it mostly just entails being able to send mails. I've seen newly hired directors sit on their ass unable to do anything. The "experience working-since-18s" unable to wrap their head around what code for a website even means. And they're the ones getting the jobs I apply for, not for lack of a good and personal resume and writing myself into every gig without AI. I feel like my genuine drive to grind and learn is just put aside cause 'uhh hole in resume despite 5 years at uni' at least proving I'm capable.
 
I do not enjoy living, it's all just bullshit 24/7.
I don't either, it's funny though. Every time I wake up it's like holy fuck this is awful, why is living this bad?

And then I look around, and shit is retarded and hilarious, and why the fuck is existence this funny?

So while my first thought is why don't I just shoot myself in the head, my second thought is usually lmao what is all this weird shit going on it's bizarre and a pure comedy put on for my benefit?

And then I manage to get through the day.

Laughter is good cope at times, even in the most miserable of situations you can try and find a way to laugh.
It's all day by day bullshit my friend, day by sloggy slow fucking day.

Pretty much the same on my end but it's a bit more like suicide would just be another pointless deed in a life already filled with pointless shit and requires too much effort. Plus i still got a couple of people who depend on me being alive, i just don't have it in me to fuck them over like that.
I think it gets better with age, i am just not that bothered anymore by the shitty things going on around me/in my life.

Edit: One of these shitty things is listening to the arab couple upstairs having a fight right now at half past 10AM and wondering "will they or won't they kill each other this time?". Both parts annoying and funny, i don't understand why this retard isn't just closing his window before he's losing his mind. I can hear every word and so can the whole street. Unhinged.
Working on fixing my life. Made a poor life decision, blinded by a false ambition, and reaping the consequences of it. Got a new job, just waiting to start. Hopefully this job will be better for my health, and I also wanna start excersizing. Clawing my way outta the hole, bros
That's the spirit.

Edit: Someone called the cops on the arabs, they've been here two times in the last hour :story: Overheard that the tweaker girl living below them ratted him out, a person that brought the cops in this house more times than i can count. It's like having your own private theater in your house, wish i could chose the times of the showings, though, sometimes they're at it at 3AM in the morning. I swear this house is built on a jewish cemetary or something, absolutely cursed. It's always, always my house where this happens, never in the neighbouring ones.
