What's Bothering You?

I've been coughing for like 10 min straight, it woke me up and now I have a headache because of it 😭

I spent literally all of yesterday coughing nonstop too, so tired of this. I guess I need to give in and buy some cough drops, idk if that'll actually help but it's worth a shot.
 
The dreams I've been having for the past few weeks feel slimy—they're gross and distressing and they cling to me long after I wake up.
 
Nervous about Saturday and also just generally not in a good mood. I feel like I'm pretending to be happy.
 
day 5 of being sick and it's really just not letting up at all 😭

I'm tempted to try using my allergy medicine cause, even though I'm pretty sure I'm only allergic to ragweed, I can't imagine why else my symptoms would be coming and going like this, and just being absolutely relentless. I just can't handle dealing w this anymore, I'm feeling pretty miserable 😞
 
I can’t be the only one who fussed about wearing a name tag for every job I’ve had for the last eight years. I always said “I’m not a dog so I can’t wear that” (I was like 18 when I said that, I was being argumentative) but I just didn’t want to be walking around with a name I hated on my body. It encourages people to use the name and it makes people view me as a female. I ****ing hate that. I wish that whichever job I have, current or in the future, lets me have my chosen name on it so I don’t need to walk around with that name tag on my chest. I always covered it up when being forced to wear one . Reminded me of when I was covering my mouth with my hand when my teeth were bad. It’s the same feeling.
 
It seems my uterus is making an attempt to fight back after being medically turned off since 2019. No babies for you, you evil hunk of meat
 
my computer keeps crashing! i've done everything, seriously. i've cleared my cache, uninstalled chrome, everything! i think i have to like reset everything or just use a different program but i really don't want to do that incase it actually doesn't work.
 
I feel like I care way too much what other people think. I feel like I do things to prove I’m a good person because some people in the world think I’m not. And when it’s coming from people over the internet, it hurts more. Like, someone said on a YouTube comment that I deserved to get harassed during a store robbery because bad things happen to bad people. I don’t think I’m a bad person but that’s a comment that really gets to me.
 
Feeling pretty livid about my parents having their friends over all the time. I'm not saying that they're not allowed to have fun, but every day seems really excessive. Not to mention they're loud, always blaring music, drinking, smoking, and make messes without cleaning it up. My parents also started vaping because of their friends ("it's a healthier alternative for our weed/cigarette addiction", they said) and it just upsets me even more.

Earlier I passed by them to get something in my bag, and I asked my parents if they could put the music down since I was gonna go to bed soon. My step-mom comes into my room a minute later and gives me **** about it. "Do you really have to give us attitude, in front of other people? You're trying to embarrass us? You're not even in bed right now." I just want to ensure I'll be able to sleep soon without having to hear them or the music, damn...
 
I've come down with some nasty virus thats broken out in a chesty cough which isn't fun especially at night. I woke up at least twice last night coughing my guts up and producing enough phlegm to probably power a light bulb.

Geez, that definitely doesn't sound good. I hope you feel better soon.

Same goes to the rest of you here who were sick. 💚

It shouldn't be too hard for this to be arranged. Both my current and previous workplaces put the name I used on my CV and introduced myself with at interview on my company email and ID card. I prefer to go by my nickname rather than my full name so this isn't a concession they needed to make at all, but they did it anyway. If the reason you wished to have a different name on your name tag was gender dysphoria I'm sure most workplaces would be more than happy to comply - if they're willing to offer you the job in the first place then it wouldn't make any sense for them to then be unwilling to use your preferred name.
 
First thing which is more important - partner currently has no internet access because their power went out indefinitely </3 I’m waiting patiently for it to come back, but I worry for them and want to be with them horribly. Plus, I was going to read a story to them this weekend. As soon as we both have time together I’m spoiling them though.

What gets me more “upset” than worried/restless like that is that an acquaintance got kinda bothersome. Like I spoke to them honestly about it but what it boils down to is this feeling they don’t even recognise the effort I did put in to reach out to them. They expect too much from me. I swear my social priorities are garbage but this was such a longtime friend. They used to reach out to me first instead and they still did, thing is I got more reciprocal and it feels like they didn’t see it. Honestly idk what we even do together now but I don’t want to throw it away. It just feels like it naturally drifted apart.

Lastly I actually greatly prefer Reddit to other social media since forums are pretty dead and Reddit is the next best thing. The current mess there is very sad, absolutely hate the admin choices there and feel like I’m leaving that site entirely soon, but the problem is idk where to go after that. Tumblr seems more fandom-oriented and I don’t know how I feel about that. It still seems better than anything else I can think of. Never touching Reddit again when they inevitably remove old.reddit.
 
I hate drivers so much in my area. For whatever reason, someone put out the finger at me. Like what did I even do? I was just driving normally and I don't get that?!?!? Oh, and they were driving a Nissan Altima too, so that's fantastic. Seriously, I feel like these kinds of people are slowly making me become a **** person.
