How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

So as my last post here stated I did end up trying and doing a gram of heroin to myself in a few days.
Pretty fucking underwhelming if you ask me.

Anyway, I'm really starting to lose a grip on how I cope with my impossible fantasies. I don't know what to do.

I accidentally took two multivitamins today. That may or may not be why I have a bad headache. It’s not the worst thing to happen but I’m pretty annoyed at past me for being forgetful.

I’m also working on packing up my stuff on the down low for when I’m able to move out. I’m realizing how much stuff I actually have.

Starting to deal with two days off from work unless they ask me to come in and pull orders because someone else in the department gets sick. Before that, work was rather too smooth. Nothing wrong with that except the lack of orders to fulfill means finding something else to do at work which one of my managers managed to help out with in giving me the duty of stocking shelves. Tedious shit no doubt but it's refreshing from having to find stuff that's no longer in stock for some order. In the meantime for a day off, I'm just going to make a budget for how much in paychecks I want to save for computer parts. Thinking of upgrading my mother board along with a couple new ssd and a gpu and doing a clean install of windows on said SSD and installing vidya on the other. Only other things to do is at least clean up my room and get keeping on getting over with whatever family issues I have left that could be lingering on in my mind that's some states away.

Fucked up my sleep schedule again. What's the easiest and fastest way to fix it?

Due to the nature of my job, I have no sort of sleep schedule at all.

Melatonin helps, but leaves me sluggish when I wake up. Valerian root helps, but only if I go right the fuck to bed.

Booze has diminishing returns.

Never better and all's bad.

Prove it

 

[eeeeeeeeeeeee diot]

Buttugly as fuck, so I'll take an L on that. Standing outside a hair salon though, FWIW.

Largely indifferent and depressed as usual.

Sometimes you just need either a good nap, to declutter or some good food, dude. Feel better soon.

As far anyone could tell you're a discrace

There was this car advice thread a few years back. Unfortunately, it never really took off that much.

https://kiwifarms.st/threads/car-advice.22747/

There's also a car thread that managed to get five pages. It lasted longer than car advice.

https://kiwifarms.st/threads/car-thread.28260/

Looking for car talk threads does remind me of the car issues I got, mainly with the two Ford cars I had, have told me one thing: avoid Ford, do more research and go for the one car brand that has the least amount of problems because fuck the idea of "it looks nice" and "well, this brand served ME well unlike everyone else" and any excuse made like "well it's an American company." Ironic since Fords are made in China and Mexico while Honda and Toyota iirc are made in the states of Alabama and Ohio.

 

[Getting tard comed]

Very poorly, possibly horrible. Just confirmed some very bad/disturbing news about a past relationship that makes me question everything about it, and potentially makes me question a lot about myself. Don't feel like I can talk to anyone irl about it due to realizing I dont trust anyone I know to tell me the truth vs say thing to attempt to comfort me. I've been drinking more heavily than usual and finding ways to numb myself and occupy my mind so as not to deal with this.

I have to be careful with what I read or watch cuz that can trigger thoughts back to what I do not want to deal with. So.... fun times. Compounding effects on singular events are awesome.

Thats great news. I'm unsure of what the time frame was, but it looks short so ligament issues are a great thing to not have. Do you stretch your calves every night and foam roll them?

The stretch I was taught to do is to get on a step or some kind of raised plank and drop your heels to stretch the tendon. I was doing it after my runs, but I find that isn't really the best timing to do it. I think right before or like you said, at night, would be the smartest plan.

My dad has has issues with his achilles for at least 20 years becasue he didn't take good care of his after he was injured. He has the more exciting injury story though. My original injury 8 or so years ago was from tripping in a pothole like a dumbass and then made worse by running a half-marathon a week later. My dad got his after walking on a trail at night while playing the guitar and tripped on a tree root, and had to do some elaborate twisting move to not smash his guitar on the ground.

My oldest dog is 15.5 years old. She's been slow and achy and has had mystery lumps here and there for awhile. But she was still able to sit up to eat, go to the back door, etc. This past week she has been getting worse and now her back legs don't want to work at all. One of the small lumps on her back started bleeding and we've patched it up but it's not really getting better.

I know that it's quickly nearing her time. Not much I can do but give her head pats for a little longer

Sorry to hear this. Poor lady.

That's really rough, sorry to hear it. You'll have had more good times than sad, though; try and think of those, hard as that may be.

 

[Catman from cat town]

Depressed because I’ve been alone from people thinking I like being totally alone when in reality I’m extroverted enough to require a minimum social circle but not introverted enough to recharge on alone time. Basically, I need a roommate or someone I see almost every day to satisfy that social requirement in my head. I guess it makes sense because I have agoraphobia so being in my own space is relaxing but I need one person to do recon with me as I go to the store.

 

[Stilgar of Troon]

Feeling kinda stupid after madposting in a Tooter thread because the horrible old twat managed to trigger the shit out of me with his reaction to his dad dying, only to have some lovely Kiwis message me and sympathise, turning my mood right around.
You cunts are alright, y'know? ❤

Welp, today was the day. Seeing her get worse in just a week's time was hard. Another lump opened this morning before we took her over and bled a lot. At least it didn't seem to hurt her because I don't think she could feel her back legs anymore.

I have mad respect for the vet guys who go through the explanation to families of how they're putting their dogs to sleep and watch them cry over them on a regular basis. Maybe they get used to it. I've been in the acceptance phase this whole time but it still hurts. At least masks hide some of the tears? Sorry to be a downer.
