How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

After months of trying to talk to my girlfriend about her recent frustrations, she told me that she's listing her condo for sale so she can relocate to her old college town. After revealing her intention and asking me to uproot my life as part of her midlife crisis, she is now mad that I told her I'm really against it. This has been going on for a while, she's only gotten low ball offers on her place, and we've agreed to stop trying to convince each other to change the other's mind and keep having fun. But tonight she told me she has a job interview next week and is flying out Sunday night for a few days.

I'm honestly kind of checked out of this relationship, which sucks because for the last two years we've been having a great time. I work in a niche industry that more or less only exists here, there's no equivalent employer where she wants to go, and there's very little that translates to other industries other than some basic shit. This area does kind of suck to live in and if we had met six/seven years ago I would have left this job without a second thought, but I'm not walking away from a near six digit salary to end up working as accounts payable or a project manager for a construction company or something.

This relationship was always kind of a long shot but this is something that happens when you date a woman ten years older than you. Hopefully being back in that city makes the rose colored glasses come off and she remembers why she left to begin with.
 
I touched grass today and went on a hike in a rain forest. I found this boy taking a nap so I felt like sharing. Being in a region of the world that is so rich in oxygen and with humid, lush forests has been good for my brain so I'm feeling pretty moisturized and unbothered.

"Packing your room for a move that you're anxious about and have put off for two years but know it's best for you because your hometown is being raped by tourists and real estate cunts but you don't have a storage unit yet so you have a bunch of boxes and stuff piled up that end up blocking various areas of your room you need to get to on a daily basis and it's two in the morning and you wonder what the fuck you got yourself into and start looking through your belongings and lament why you held onto half of them for so long and part of you just wants to shave your head, sell all your belongings, become a monk and get on the first plane out and live life like the type of fictional characters you wish you could be but also are attached to a good amount of stuff because you invested too much time and money into getting them even though they don't make your life better and own you more than you own them but you still are too far gone and deep down know you actually do like having some materialistic possessions even though they bog you down and make it impossible for you to make changes that would make your life infinitely more rewarding so you feel like you're in limbo and just want to lay down but your bed is so full of stuff you can't because you decided to do this task on your night off instead of enjoying yourself with a good movie or record and kind of want to fucking die" moment.
 
Well my job didn't last long. Comorbidities were: mandatory three hours overtime every day while I was still getting used to waking up that early, it being 18 months since I last touched a machine, them being hectic so I didn't get full instruction, and a few unexpected nuances of the machines and processes I was unaware of. Now to start looking for work again.
 
Just generally getting used to hating everyone.
I feel like after 2020 every person just became various flavors of the same person. And I really mean everyone. The epic chuds who think society is going to collapse at any moment and are just fighting the good fight are equally authoritarian, virtue signalling nannies that want an equally bland and bleak Soviet-flavored world who would sell out their friends for a higher rank in the brass and pretty much fight for the same level of censorship as the left.
Get tired of seeing all these videos "What happened to society", "The Rise of the Lonely Men", "How I Overcame ___", "Why are people so depressed now?", "Unfuck Your Life Starter Pack" and all this intentional obfuscation of the truth.
Everyone wants to blame the jews, capitalism, smartphones, ect for where we're at but nobody put a gun to our head and made us not socialize. No one forced the modern west to be hedonistic, self-aggrandizing, shallow and vapid.
"B-b-but the covid. The summer of love. The boomers. The technocracy!"
There were plenty of generations before us who lived in shittier dictatorships that still managed to conduct themselves with some degree of self-respect. This throwing of hands in the air and ponderance/clear denial of the problems making life objectively shittier for literally everyone and pretending it's some issue somewhere else that someone more powerful than us needs to take care of.
I legitimately worry about the future of the modernized world if a quarantine, shitty unprofitable public forums being owned by people mostly close to death and a couple retards looting buildings are enough to make people throw in the towel and become a bunch of shameless cowards.
People online are either toxic-positive mascots who proselytize some hallmark one line woo bullshit and hawk betterhelp/Raid/manscaped or blackpilled doomers who see the fall of civilization is the next twenty years and want us all to collectively put a gun to ours heads to spare the shame instead of taking any direct initiative in their life at all.
Just thought we were better than this.
I know it's a meme now, but I really do wish we could go back to the 90s sometimes and make fun of self-righteous faggots of every denomination instead of using them as a role model to aspire to.
I really try to fight my nihilism/cup half empty insanity but I sometimes see very little point to try and get up and do much when I see the world getting progressively more shallow around me.
"Touch grass." I have. It just feels really hard trying to find my group as an adult when everybody has their own.
Too exceptional and weird for the normal people who have their shit together, not stunted and cluster b enough to join in the infinite cults and sects that most people in their early adulthood are going to waste the next ten years of their lives.

Thinking of a scene from The Fire Within where the man just getting out of rehab planning to kill himself sits at a cafe for a couple of minutes and sees the facade of the faces around him and the sheer stress and anxiety makes him have a drink for the first time in months.

People who can't train being pressed into keeping new employees happy and successful results in high turnover, who could have thought?
My own job sucks for that, I'm a few months into it and I'm still learning shit they expected me to already know without having shown or told me. At least my boss has my back now.

I think it would've helped if I didn't immediately get burnout by jumping into 11 hour days the moment I started and got tired and easily confused. I did see the doctor after as the clinic I go to has walk-ins, and she reminded me that I had a sleep apnea diagnosis and consideres that to be a major factor that pills won't help, tho my partner says I don't really snore or have noticeable interrupted sleep. Two nights ago I only got five hours of sleep and really didn't do well yesterday, last night I got like nine and I still feel pretty exhausted so that might be a factor, but I really can't afford a CPAP machine.
 
Hello I'm forsaken wanderer. my neck is really bad, and it doesn't help that i fall asleep on the couch every night. I was just doing wood chipping and that tweaked my neck. two weeks ago i went to the dentist and the pain in my neck got to insane levels. I return to the dentist in a few days.
