How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

[Nikes_JustDoIt]

A couple of things had blood work on Monday but everything was negative, Tuesday and Today I had job interviews with the same company ( I don't think I got the job but it was a good experience ), and helped my friend move yesterday it was tiring but he and his gf were appreciated of the work that I and my friends did.

I had a Mcdonalds today, Pretty tasty. So I would say I'm doing good.

I want to die but too many people around me like me and I don't want to upset them so I'm in a state of unhappiness.

Suck it the fuck up. It isn't too long, you'll die soon enough anyway just like the rest of us. There are still fun things to do, so don't make it even more miserable for the other people in your life. Have some giggles. They're still out there. Add to the absurdity of the world instead of increasing the misery of it.

It's one of those hard things because there's such a pattern to suicide attempts for attention vs. seriously trying to kill yourself, BUT sometimes a not-serious attempt accidentally works, or a serious attempt will fail, and people are all different, so you can't say 100% "someone who does this isn't ACTUALLY going to do it." Especially when drugs, alcohol, or mania are involved, sometimes people do really impulsive things they don't really mean

If they threaten to kill themselves isn't that the point where you report them as a danger to themselves so they get a 72 hour institutional hold?

In theory yes. That's the correct thing to do.

In practice it is a shitshow. They get dragged to the ER (if that), maybe by EMS, maybe by police. If they are calm and aware and say "I just said that to say it, I have no plans etc" they probably get to go home in a few hours. It really depends on your state too. Some places make it really hard to do a 72hr hold. Other places are more liberal.

Especially if a weapon is supposed to be involved ("I'm going to shoot myself") you can bet the cops are coming. They're basically going to get SWATed. It's not uncommon to end up arrested for fighting the cops. The aftermath of all this is people who really do not like the fact that you did the right thing.

This happened every few weeks at the homeless shelter I used to work at, and having to be removed by the cops (instead of going peacefully into the ambulance) meant you were automatically banned due to safety reasons/we are not a mental treatment facility. So imagine someone says "ughhhhh I hate my boyfriend, I'm going to slit my wrists!!!!" And you know they are an angry dumdumb who will immediately start throwing hands at any EMT, because it's hard to smoke crack in the mental ward. The right thing to do is report it, but it also means a 90% chance they're going to lose their spot in the homeless shelter and maybe die on the street.
It gets more complicated than that (my area has a crisis service that will come out.... if they have the staff....) but that's the type of crap that happens. Job loss, high medical bills, can't get certain jobs, etc.

What about the threat itself? If they threaten to commit suicide, say that's not something that you can help them with but you will contact 911 because it's an emergency. If they push back insist that for their well-being you need to leave it to professionals and maybe they will back down or concede they need help. If it's by text ensure you can show receipts

Job is shit and it's wreaking havoc with my anxiety.
Do what I'm told then informed it's actually incorrect, and I get dinged for it. Follow protocol and then get scolded for not doing something else. Told to cover for three people and then he's confused I can't do each at 100% effectiveness.
It doesn't help that my boss is a newbie and will not admit fault because he feels there's something to prove.

This happens to me every Monday and Tuesday night, and it is the most infuriating bullshit.

Was feeling very low and sluggish, but thanks to multiple helpful kiwis giving thoughtful diet advice I've felt better the last couple of days. Depression was setting in and with that poor diet choices. I feel motivated somewhat now so I think I'll go get some more healthy options to continue this trend.

Feeling fairly lazy still though I just have to start crossing tasks off so I can feel less burdened. The chores started stacking up, errands, ect. I prayed for the first time in awhile (never been terribly religious) and did receive the help/guidance I needed. I ought to do that more I think

 

[gagabobo1997]

I got a parking ticket recently so im sad that i have to pay $200 but other than that i've been mostly fine. I need to get a better diet and go to the gym more consistently but i've been getting better at it.

So I visited a cat with kennel stress that saw me before. She rubbed against my legs but then scratched me realizing I would not let her out of her special room she has for visitors to get her re-acclimated to people. She was eventually let out to wander the entire cat section due to not freaking out over people - even those walking right by her - as long they don’t actually touch her. But she did sniff my fingers every time I reached out to her, albeit not letting me pet with hissing warnings, then later just hung out right by me with the angriest look while hissing at anyone else even trying to hold fingers out before returning to her room.

We did see off a thirteen year old to a home. That was quite uplifting.

Update ( God, I've been posting too much here)
Went to the hospital again, doctor was super nice and didn't doubt my pain. I'm on IV right now, again, with two medications. They couldn't find a vein and poked me like 7 times, even called a pediatric nurse, and only found the right one in my wrist and it's not nice. At least I can go home after this and I hope it's all over.
I know it's a mental illness but I keep thinking about munchies. Sure, the nurses here were nice, one of them even said "I remember you!" and kept chatting while the other nurses poked me. But holy shit, after all this I wanted to cry not because of the pain ( which was ok, I have no problem with needles and my pain tolerance is high) but because the process is so exhausting. You must be sick in the head to truly enjoy this.
I just wanna go home and have a nice meal and a shower.

 

[Peaches the Wonder Cat]

Burned out. I'm showing all the classic signs and stuck on what to do.

Can relate. My boss is also a moron that somehow is in charge of 3 different teams. She has no idea what she's doing and is, frankly, worse than useless.

My leg pain got so bad I just could not sleep, and now I've got to work two back to back 13hr shifts.
Someone I know died from cancer recently, and late at night I just had the sudden thought "oh my gosh, what if this leg pain is actually a cancer or something?" And then I was just too stressed to put the pain out of mind.

My boss is coming in but only for the middle of my shift for some reason. He steps on my toes so much and I'm so much more productive and happier when he's not there giving me random side quests when I'm busy just to be a power tripper. He has no clue how the kitchen works but thinks he's so smart and refuses to listen to anyone, everything has to be his idea. I kinda want to quit but if I tough it out, when he's fired I can probably get his job.

Both of us. It has been a week now.
And still looking for a job as well. But never losing the hope.

Hit a year with my literal bottom gig; got a car and the next step is to look for a new job, but it's scary getting started. I know I could get an interview and have to actually go to and suddenly it's real.

Or worse, I don't get an interview and realize I'm stuck here.
