How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

I stopped watching and reading news about a week or two ago and pretty much just try to avoid it as much as possible. It's been great. I can't avoid it perfectly but I'm pretty sure it's made me a lot happier. I've also noticed I have more free time than usual, which is interesting because I didn't think I spent a lot of time on news but I guess I did.

It's almost as if the media are a gaggle of time-vampires whose livelihood depends on getting you worked up over shit that doesn't affect you.

I work a shitty call center job in the semi-public sector and I'm beginning to resent it. The thing is that it pays at least 60% more than is market rate so switching jobs comes with a major cut in salary.

It's basically a guilded cage, which explains why 20% of the team has been on sick leave. Seems to me that by the time colleagues get a long term contract they are fed up and milk the sick leave. Can't fucking blame 'em.
 
A lot better than I have been lately. Things are looking up and I have a date for my endometriosis surgery, I’m dreading the recovery but I have a good partner who’s looking after me so it shouldn’t be too hellish.
Good luck. I knew someone with it and you need to take it easy.

Otherwise, depression has been kicking my ass. Had my third appointment with the therapist and learned me internalizing everything and bottling it up is not a good coping mechanism. I just can’t really cry because I don’t feel comfortable enough doing so since the pandemic and never having the place to myself anymore. Like I feel it coming but it never comes

You need to manage your self talk my bro, also find the appropriate anti depressant.

You will not feel good for at least six weeks. If when six weeks are over and they don't work, you get to restart with another one.

This is how shit be. Once you find one that works life is a lot better. Do with this information what you will.
I’ve been on it for 4 years.
It will take awhile to get the correct combination/dosage. I've found something that works well for me and it's changed so much. You'll get there, one day at a time. :feels:
Yeah mines wierd, the dose right below the one I’m on makes me on edge since it’s also an anti anxiety med, the one I’m on basically makes me tired 24/7. So either way I’m fucked
 
I’m fucking tired of working for women. Men actually get shit done, and don’t start attempting to critique every aspect of your job once they get an inkling that you’re questioning their authority. Especially if you’re expected to be in charge of people yourself.
If someone is going to question my ability to do my job, then I’m going to immediately turn that back around.

tl;dr I almost got my dumb ass fired because I was accused of micromanaging.
 
I've been struggling to find the motivation to do anything for the last few days. I feel so distant from everyone and everything in my life, and the only reason I get out of bed is to work. I don't know if I have mental issue or what, but I ain't doing to hot right now.

Pretty much this. It just wastes people's energy and takes their focus away from local and personal things they can affect towards abstract and global issues that they can only feel bad about. It makes one feel powerless and dependent on the system on a mental level.

I used to often feel the same way but I decided to start looking at the little things as blessings like swinging on my hamock in good weather, enjoying watching and feeding local birds, and enjoying each meal like it was my last.

Maybe look at the things you might take for granted and enjoy them no matter how trival or small, even something as small as a nice hot shower after work or a cold soda

You might find yourself starting to look forward to those things
 
Tired. Don't know why, since I wasn't overwhelmed with work and had enough sleep, but now feel like I'm about to fall asleep all the time. Hate when that happens.

Take care, people.
