How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

[Catman from cat town]

I’m doing good at keeping up on healthy habits but life around me is hitting the fan. It’s literally stuff out of my control too. I believe I’m handling it well because I’m not as hard on myself as I would have been. I do wish I could do something for my parents divorcing besides trying to be neutral in the hopes I’ll avoid hearing either of them complain about the other. I’m thankful I have friends whose parents divorced because it’s refreshing having someone understand my feelings about it.

I used to say divorce when your children are adults but that’s changed and I don’t believe that idea anymore.

My mother waited until my siblings and I were in our teens to divorce my dad, but it didn't make it any easier. It probably would have been better had she left him earlier, as it would have been an end to all the fighting and tension in the house.

I feel like the anxiety over work is overwhelming sometimes. Part of me wants to quit and go back to my old job. Another part of me wants to quit and move to some cheap 3rd world country, never to be heard from again.

oof I decided to go off my wacky weed for awhile so I can get a new job, but cannabis is my cure for insomnia.

goodbye a good night's rest!

My mom did the same thing, the reasoning though was it would of massively sucked if we had to split days with our dad. Which was true in my case because when the divorce did happen he was even more of a dick to us then when she was with him. I don’t know if that would of happened to you but if you do have a parent that wasn’t great then that may of happened.

Tired but alive. We are all going to make it bros.

Imagine having to navigate that, but as a child.

Got my work computer set up and tech support walked me through getting everything running. I see several concerns as they have some harsh desk and webcam policies, especially since this computer is in my shared bedroom. We'll make do but the training part is going to suck.

Time for a fancy bedsheet backdrop?

Finally arranged to see a private doctor about my health issues. It'll be over £200 but at least that money isn't going to line the NHS "trustees" pockets. Receptionist we spoke to was legitimately sad that I'd been fucked over by the NHS so badly and explained that a lot of their clients now are actually parents who have been waiting to speak with an NHS consultant about the problems their kids are having for well over a year. Hopefully thinks will work out okay. I'm going to spend most of my time trying to just do a little every day as best I can until April 9th and see what happens.

I'm not sure children being around two parents who clearly don't love each other and can't stand each others' presence would be any better. This might be a "tear the bandaid" off situation unless the parents can fake it.

Spoiler: Update.

My best friend and best person I ever knew lost faith in me, dropped me as a lost cause and cut off all contact.

I wish the illness that nearly killed me did. Because she's right, I never do help myself, and now I've made my life worse directly losing her. And I wish to God I could tell her how much it finally hit me how bad I let everything get thanks to her going. and the worst part is it finally worked and I wish she knew she finally woke me up, but no one in my life has ever come back.

I don't wanna be sorry anymore. I just want to finally learn to live life and not be depressed anymore. Even if it doesn't pay off anyways. Because I have to and I don't want to be like this anymore.

I genuinely want to do the Passport Bro thing and live in another country on American money. America is on its way down in so many ways. The culture in this country is just deteriorating so fast, and everyone's mind is mush. While people are finally standing up to the left, I think the lack of easy victories now will make them more intense, and I just don't see a way out of this "eternal Marvel" shit.

The deaths of some of my trolling buddies has hit harder than other deaths, because the truth is mature-acting trolls tend to be good friends. That's the reality. I think about them more than they would have ever expect.

Had a friend die of heroin during the pandemic, a really good one and online troll friend around my age.

It really was the death of trolling culture or whatever the 2010s had for me. Didnt expect him to die either, as he wasn't white trashy, but had a past habit (former metal head I guess, actually wound up reforming his life), and it hit really hard. Theres a few memes of his he made that I see reposted sometimes and still laugh at.

Did to the move to Europe afterwards to meet another online troll, and getting married in 2 months. Is it worth it? I think so, but not for the reasons of sheltering away. Even in terms of hell, I think people have a tendency to want to be closer to family and familiarity, even amid destruction and depression. Maybe a bit removed from sight, but still there to witness whats going on

For a long time I've had problems with American culture so I don't really want to be here anyway. I foresee bad times on the horizon unless something unexpected happens; the reason clownworld is happening is because this society is a powderkeg and real conflict is probably going to start happening internally. What we see with Trump vs. anti-Trump is starting to resemble corrupt third or second world politics. But that's for another thread.

Spoiler: Not good

Im off of my medication and questioning every part of my life. Shit sucks.

 

[anustart76]

My boss is outright bullying me at this point, and I don't know how much more of this abuse I can take. I'm seriously considering just going back to my old job.
My parents think I should go back to school and get a Masters degree, and I'm considering it, but I don't know, that has its own challenges.

God, sometimes I feel like I should be on some kind of medication. I hope you can figure things out though, it has to be rough going from one extreme to another like that.

 

[Reversal]

I don't know how to improve my job situation. I feel like I've peaked. I don't know how to find something better when I'm already farther than I thought I'd ever be. Even still, I'm disillusioned with my current occupation. I can feel it starting to wear me down, but how can I change my life around when it also feels that this is as good as it gets? I'd like to do better, I want to do better, I just don't know how to go about it. It is a very frustrating feeling especially when everything else in my life is going pretty well.

 

[Betonhaus]

I'm a little worried about how my new job is going to go. As I get closer to starting it's becoming very real, and I'm slowly realizing that my bedroom workspace only barely meets the needs of their "clean desk" policy with webcam always on and computer never turned off. But i need this job to start building up a financial buffer to do something even better with my life.

Higher ed is so precarious rn. Can you get your masters paid for by a parent or a program??

And thanks. Im ~disabled~ and one of the withdrawal side effects is a bunch of emotional garbage. So not only am I in a massive amount of physical pain, but I also just wanna kms. Hopefully if I can power through it I wont be so dependent on the meds tho. They arent good long term.
