What's Bothering You?

💻 I am currently job hunting and also just applied for some government $ help, hopefully after the interview everything will be accepted and work out smoothly..

My partners car broke down a few nights ago, so we have to get some money out of our savings for that 🌧

Nothing to big or stressy, just grown up things :')
 
I just got sick again. I had COVID not even a month ago, plus the 5-day period of dysphoria is due this week, and the cramps I get from that are incredibly painful.

On the bright side I don't have to do either of my presentations! I was really stressed about those... which is probably why I'm sick.
 
i have a broken capillary in my eye, so now it looks like it’s bleeding :(

this better go away before senior pictures are taken or else it’ll look like i have a bloody spot on my eye. at least it’s relatively small.
 
The doctor I saw said maybe I have a pollen allergy and I hope I grow out of this so bad because holy hell it’s miserable if that’s what it is. Can I not even enjoy being outdoors anymore? Like, what does life have against me? My neighbours ruined walks with their music, my local park got gentrified, other neighbours created a ton of chimney smoke, my granddad had his stroke when I was returning from a walk and now I learn this. I NEED to be outdoors, in nature etc. Having to mask/take medical precautions for this now is reminding me of how careful I had to be with COVID, plus I’m asthmatic and I feel like I’m going to end up with it going out of dormancy over this. I hope that doctor was wrong, he wasn’t helpful anyway.

Honestly the more time goes on the more I hear the birds screaming and it seems to be in response to the increasingly bad environment. So even when I get to observe them locally I feel bad.

Just going to copy what I said in a DM,
I don’t have a runny nose but I have cobblestone throat, some veins visible at back of throat, scratchy feeling eyes, sometimes headache, and my heart and larynx hurt. I am asthmatic, but i havent had an asthma attack since i got sick, and even with stethoscope both doctors didnt hear anything odd there.

Also, I almost forgot to say this but my dad offhandedly mention that we have family in another (very similar) country, and I said “why don’t we visit eventually” he recoiled at the idea of travelling. He said nothing about that family but he was annoyingly patriotic. I swear the people I talk to avoid travel down here are just so… idk how to say it. I guess set in their ways is right, if people just wanna live in one place then cool but people are weirdly defensive to anyone who wants to travel, leave aus, etc. where I live. It’s ridiculous. Also can’t say you think the country is boring without a dozsn excuses, just say the good things about the country aren’t really appealing to me and people have that “you’ll come around” mentality. Feels like crab mentality sometimes. To be against travel altogether… seriously, what. To be clear people respond negatively to even saying you want to travel like “Italy is cool, I’d love to visit” “nah that place is boring, Australia is the best”. Can those people just stop godddd

@Xara I’m so late but you’re going through so much lately, and I agree with what everyone said here. I don’t have much to add, but I give you my condolences. I don’t know what I’m going to do when my cat is gone honestly…

- I thought my fever broke... it didn't.

- I had a terrible sleep last night. I woke up every couple of hours crying because I was in a hell of a lot of pain, plus I didn't think to refill my water bottle before sleeping, so that made everything even worse once I finished drinking it all.

- I have very little energy. It's so bad that I can barely feed my cat, walk to the bathroom, etc.

- I also don't have an appetite. It's been nearly 48 hours and I've only eaten a tiny bag of popcorn and a small fruit bowl.

I hate this so much, but all I can do is take medicine, drink lots of water, try to eat, and wait it out.
 
This seller on Etsy has never shipped out my package. I can track the package and from the 14th it said shipping label created. It was supposed to be here by now, the 27th. I messaged her the 25th asking what's up. 12hrs later she said she's look into it. We're in the same country with a 4 hrs timezone difference. The 26th I messaged her 'hey is there an update', nothing. I was thinking about sending another message but at this point I'm just mad about it. Tomorrow Etsy let's me leave reviews (even when you don't get the product) so I'm just gonna one star everythin explaining the situation and open a case with Etsy to get a refund. Some of their recent reviews also complain of packages never being shipped out or stuff missing from the order. This is ridiculous, she's had over ten days to ship out the jewelry and instead almost ghosts me and apparently another person who left a review saying they never got back to her.

These reviews came in after I placed my order so its not like I missed them before I made the order. She has alot of positive reviews, but the very recent ones are negative.

Etsy is a hit or miss. Lots of drop-shippers marking up stuff they find on aliexpress or whatever that place is, scammers, ect. Etsy doesn't care that it's not handmade because these sellers bring in the revenue for them. They lost their integrity and pushed away the real sellers who made them special in the first place. All to appease their share-holders.

People also generate tracking so they can prolong the delivery date. They can generate a pre-transit tracking and when the carrier finally receives the package the delivery date will change and accommodate for that. They do that to avoid being 'late'. The whole site is overall a mess and if you don't know the ins and outs and don't want to waste time doing tons of research to make sure you're getting a 100% handmade experience (and really who wants to do that?) you're going to end up a victim to one of these sellers.

You should check out the Reddit Etsy section. All the time it's about people being scammed or the real sellers rightfully complaining about the crap they have to deal with. Right now there's not a place like Etsy (when it was legit) but I hope one happens soon so Etsy can either learn their lesson and try to salvage the damage they've done or just die off. Hell there are people selling digital art 'they made' but you're basically paying top dollar for them to do a poor AI art prompt.
 
I really love that people can be open about periods, but sometimes it makes me lowkey sad. A couple girls in my office are trying to get pregnant, and get really excited when their period is late. I can't relate to that and never will be able to unless I'm on bc 😐 when people talk about PMS, periods being on time and/or late....and I'm like...mine doesn't exist and hasn't for years. I almost forget that people with uteruses get a period every month. That is truly wild to me. It's just like a constant reminder that I've got PCOS and it's not "normal".

I don't want to sound out of line, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I really feel for trans/non binary people with dysphoria, because even as a women AFAB I don't feel like one sometimes because of PCOS
 
woke up before my alarm and now I can't go back to sleep bc that anxiety is starting to set in 🥲 I'm sure I'll be fine, I've just never driven such a far distance in one day and I've also never left the country before, so naturally I'm pretty nervous.

someone pls pray for me when I go to cross the border 😭
 
not me leaving for my trip just to find out my phone service was shut off bc of a past due balance 💀 I'm about to start paying for my own phone bill, I can't keep doin this **** with my parents. really not a good day for me to not have phone service. 🙃

edit: we ended up getting it figured out, thank goodness, but it did put me off time a bit. oh well.
