How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

I have no clue. Honestly can't remember when I had something quite like this where my eyes feel like they've been staring at the sun but I can see just fine, while at the same time it feels like i drank gasoline. I'm not coughing though, so it's not spreading around which is good. I got a appointment scheduled for today, so hopefully I get over it soon.
Might want to try some heavy duty meds like Claritin or Alavert. They’re behind the counter allergy meds and it’s what I have to use because I feel a similar pain.

I talked to the doctor. It's not strep. It's some random virus. He just said to basically keep doing what I'm doing and give it a week. Those are good ideas tho.

My infected ear keeps making loud popping noises which I assume is the cysts bursting.

Partner has it worse, he had sleep apnea and heartburn and COVID and so all night he was waking up choking. Trying to see what I can find to help but I'm still pretty sleepy myself.
Ear infections are the "how can we make life worse" PowerPoint presentation the masters of reality devised before the big bang... and they did their job. Hopefully it clears up for you soon, because if it isn't a constant stabbing sensation then it's woozy, balance trouble or disgusting discharge or general overall annoyance and no one deserves that just for having ears.

I hope it clears up for you soon, and I hope your partner gets healthy soon. As much as infections can basically ruin life for brief periods of time, there's nothing worse than having someone you love in agony and being powerless to help them.

Got devastating news I can't do anything about so I'm shitposting the pain away.
You do you the way you know you can do it. Shitpost away. We got your back. And worse comes to worse, we still got you, boo.

Thread Tax: I'm doing better, still all around uncomfortable with life. Guess it means I need to try harder or go through the proper channels to get better (ya know, apply myself lol). You fellow farmers help, even if I get put in my place for drunk posting and being a faggot at times by either my bad grammar or my phonefag, impulse posting.

Y'all rock, and if you had a good day: you earned it!
 
It's not heroin or drugs. Alcohol. I quit for a while ever so often, and life sucks for a week or two. I feel normal again today. Tomorrow, probably crazy mood swings. Hard part will be what to do over the weekend and avoiding it.
I'm currently in China or else I would offer to help you out.
I was just like you when I started quitting. I found that secular AA, Alcoholics Anonymous for Aetheists and Agnostics (I'm neither of those but I'm not a fan of the Christianity that AA spreads) helped me finally fucking quit after those countless attempts. It's been years since I've gone but it really did help.
If you, or anyone for that matter is interested, send me a message and I'll see if I can join you for a virtual session so that you're not alone and know a kiwi is in the room.

I'm really burnt out and falling into unhealthy coping mechanisms I know I need to avoid. I feel boxed in by life and I'm trying to brute force my way through it. But I'm noticing I'm falling into the incel style life style trap of using pornography and Twitch whenever I'm not keeping myself busy. Internet forums probably aren't helping much either but at least it's not alcohol or drugs.
 
Last of my friends from uni and HS has got a gf now along with the place to stay and a high salary. Im living with my family with half the pay, half the skill level and complete lack of motivation. To think I used to be on par with this guy back in uni and HS. FML, gonna play jump with a noose now.
Maybe it’s time to invest more into that art career, I like your stuff and it’s a lot different then the usual stuff I see (I lived in an artist town). Sounds like you don’t have a lot to loose so why not do something that can make you happy?
 
I had a dream about something depressing from school that feels familiar but I don't remember if it really happened or not.
Still applying for work slowly, hopefully I get the bus job but I really don't know when they will call me to schedule the next part of my training. Resent some misplaced documents to the armed forces but I don't have high hopes for that, and it doesn't seem like I'll be able to reconsider turning down my old job but it was a horrible place to work.

Youre too kind but no, I have a roadmap for my life with goals which "I have to achieve or I will die" and art is just a side thing. Its not worth it, it will not earn money, its definitely not stable and personally its just trash. Im already running out of time for too many things. Happiness is fleeting, dont worry Ill go back to the regularly scheduled programming after numbing the pain with video game addiction and p word.

Art can be therapy for the soul, which helps give meaning to the struggle of life. You might be successful enough to cover the cost of the art materials.

Your roadmap doesn't seem to be working too well for you. If it's not getting you the success you want you should reassess what it says.

I posted this in the coomer thread but here it is for good measure. From CPTSD From Surviving to Thriving by Pete Walker.

I don't have PTSD. Life is going to have it's highs and it's lows and when you're low tits are pretty good distractions from it. I don't know what this guy went through but it's not healthy to think you could have a serious mental health problem because you're depressed and need to change your life to resolve it. The Coomer stuff is very different to having a natural reaction to low points in life and your mental health telling you to get your shit together.
 
I’m annoyed at myself for getting wrapped up with some guy from Discord (I know, I know). There are some days where I find myself getting frustrated with him and do anything to piss him off, but on others, I want to foster a sembalance of “relationship” with him or some other horse crap I can’t find it in me to figure out.

I revealed a lot of things about myself (pictures of myself, told him things about my background, all that good stuff, and he the same) that I really regret, all but, thankfully, specifically where I live.

I started talking to this user in PMs would say back in late February during a vulnerable interval in my life, which continued and then shifted to text around April.

He started talking about how much he loved me and all that. I don’t feel like going more into that subject, because I find myself feeling repulsed by that idea or anything involving something sexual with him specifically.

Just I don’t know. I fucked up tremendously. This is the first time I dealt with someone seriously liking me like that, and I fumbled the bag by not being upfront with a “hey, I don’t like you. You’re a faggot.” But I’m wishy-washy in that I like having heart to hearts with him sometimes but since it shifted in this way, I want to now throw up or deflect.

TL;DR: Discord. Not even once. Plus an obligatory “touch grass”.[/SPOILER]
