How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

I miss an old friend of mine - or rather the person she once was;

We drifted apart after she had a kid, quit her regular job, and started sinking all of her time into her stupid MLM 'business'. All she talked about at some point was the MLM, the business opportunities, how much money it apparently made, how easy it was, blabla... You all probably know the drill. At some point it felt like she was only friends with me anymore to convince me to join her 'team'. Her whole social media is now filled with MLM ads, she posts 10+ stories about that crap daily.

I kinda want to reach out to her again, but I feel like I'll just be hit with another sales pitch. *sigh*

I'd like to share a youtube channel with you, friend. I sometimes get into a bit of a manic episode, too. Not very often. I wish I'd know about this when I was younger. I hope it helps.
This was the first video I watched, and this shit WORKS.

It's less psychology than it is biohacking your own brain, but its super helpful for anxiety attacks and manic episodes.

Tried taking Josh's advice from his latest MATI stream and seeing if taking vitamin D & iron tablets make me feel any better. In truth I'm not sure if they're working or it's just the placebo effect, but hey whatever works for me either way.

Windows 10 just baffles me sometimes. Like if I'm trying to search for a file called "tax records" for example, it thinks I want to search "tax records" on fucking Bing. Did microsoft intentionally try to make it this retarded. I swear the day they try to force me to use windows 11 I'm switching to fucking Linux.

If I may be so bold as to open up a bit more, I applied to some more jobs, I already have one but im barley pulling in 20 hours after almost two weeks on the new one. Not even a part time 30. So unless things change i need to get a second...maybe new one. One place I applied to now, I had previously applied to before.

Had an interview and everything but they gave the job to someone else. Someone who apparently already quit because the position opened up again. So who knows maybe a second time around will convince them to gimmie a chance this time, least i Won't leave after a couple months.

I know how you feel. Sending out several applications and repeatedly getting back the same responses.
 
I can’t get student aid because I make too much at my job and I have terrible credit so I can’t get a loan without a co-signer. I gotta pay for it out of pocket plus pay for my textbooks too. I just kinda wanna die already sometimes.

i meant delirium more as 'suddenly debilitatingly and retardedly autistic' but this looks helpful for different reasons :)

I find it real sad that it feels like this is about the only place I can have real conversations with people.

In lots of places, the people have no interest in most subjects.
I had a good social experience the other day, but even there it felt like a circlejerk, just a circlejerk that happened to line-up with my views reasonably well. I think they could be a good bunch to hang out with, but I feel like they're also pushy with their groupthink.
Today one of them was very belligerent over some nonsense. I'd had conversations about the subject matter many times with friends in the past who were quite at odds with me but respectful/open-minded enough to have a discussion, and I've had more productive conversations about religion on here even when I openly shit on certain denominations just to be nasty. It's something I feel bad about now because the nastiness was really no different just because there was no name or face attached to it, but it still is, you know?
If I want to talk about something in their group dedicated to talking about a thing, too, it feels like that doesn't really happen, it's more like memes and junk.

People shit on the Internet as a form of communication a lot, but anonymous Internet is often the only place where I see people really talking about things.

Woke up this morning and my lungs were burning in that distinctive "It's time for your yearly bought of bronchitis!" way. I cancelled my appointments and went back to bed for the day. Sleeping it off seems to have helped a lot. My chest is still sore and I'm coughing a bit, but it's nowhere near as painful as when I first woke up. Did a RAT for Covid, and I'm clear for that at least. Here's hoping that this is over quickly.

Woke up, still feeling sick (but just kinda worse, no fever though) so I called in for the first time in years. The hubs sat on the bed, talked to me and gave me a few nice kisses on the cheek and forehead before he went to work. Which made me feel less shit about myself. But other than that, I'm ok.

Edit: feeling a bit better, the hubs has been back for about almost 6 hours now, Got me some more Kleenex with aloe in it which is fucking awesome, we just got done binge watching ALL of moral orel which is nice too He's been holding me and kissing me alot. I'm feeling a bit more comfy.
