How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

I have this weird feeling of "wanting to disappear completely". It's not a suicidal feeling, just more like a longing to wake up somewhere else, starting over new... I don't know.

My life's not bad right now, nothing bad happened; the feeling just came out of nowhere and seems to want to stick around for a while.

Maybe I just need some tea and a good night's sleep.
 
I think I have the flu. Woke up with chills and muscle aches and just generally feel like shit with a low fever. I had a home COVID test but it came up negative.

It makes me realize I haven't been sick sick in years though. I did have COVID last year but I never felt really ill, right now I feel so terrible and weak.

I had something two weeks ago that wasn’t Covid, my eyes were crusty and everything I ate felt like broken glass going down

Yeah there seems to be some bug going around here, my husband and MiL were sick last weekend and I thought I got lucky and dodged it. Gatorade seems to be helping a lot.

Might try my grandmother's remedy of a shot of vodka with a sauerkraut juice chaser.
 
Very mixed lately. Been dealing with health issues for years that make the hobbies I enjoy unable to be enjoyed for long, if at all. Had a few surgeries but now waiting on further scans/tests to see what's causing remaining issues and the notion of another 6+ months of this shit has got me pretty down.

Which leads me to then dwelling on a friend who died near the start of the covid shit almost 2 years ago (not to covid, but to having his medical problem put off because of covid lockdown shit) and how I miss talking to that guy.
 
I’m trying to work towards getting training for a different career because I’m not happy where I’m at. I’m not feeling well mentally and my confidence is shot, but I’m above the ground as of writing this, so that’s sort of a victory. Taking care of my sick mother and my animals fills my spare time not at work for the most part.
 
Again with the neighbors. "It's not that loud, you're exaggerating! We play it low and away from your room! It can't echo THAT much!" Well, I recorded when they play music and it's not my ears, it IS loud and the space between the houses is like a super amplifier. Do they really want me to demand them?

On the way back from doctor Monday drove through the base, passed by base gas station. Price of regular had gone down to $5.29 from $5.49 when I filled up Friday.

Today walked up to Walmart. Noticed box of 12 store-brand cupcakes that was $3 last month is now $3.50, up almost 20%. Going to commissary Friday, hope shelves better stocked than last Friday.
 
I waded into the 2022 recession thread and feeling doompilled. WEF are getting what they want. In 2031 I'll be 40 and if I survive what's clearly coming I find it likely I have no friends or family from the jab, war, and famine
I don’t know your situation or where you live, so I can’t really understand what you may be going through.

That being said, there’s no point fretting about things that haven’t happened yet. If they even happen. All you can do is live your best life and take care of yourself.

Stay strong, friend.
 
I'm actually doing well these days. I've started journaling daily and using specific prompts to help me work through what I struggle with. I also map my moods with Daylio a few times a day and I can see the difference that journaling regularly has made. I highly recommend the practice to other people. Using prompts helps a lot when you feel like you have nothing to write about.
 
I started a melancholy day ruminating about Sisyphean tasks and the likelihood that I'm inventing distractions because I don't have some things I really wish I do.

I had a "the perfect is the enemy of the good" pep talk with my best friend; we playfully bitched about work, and I finished with some exercise.
 
I feel pretty good. Despite the world being in the state it’s in, I have it pretty easy right now. I think I permanently pissed off one of my sisters who would never fuck off no matter what. It’s also coming up on a year since one of my 400 lb plus brothers died and I feel nothing.
