What's Bothering You?

I don’t want to go to work today…. T_T

I think my switch is bricked.

I went to play some animal crossing, and I picked up my switch from the dock, and hit the power button… and nothing happened. I tried all the steps Nintendo had on their support page but it made no difference. Unplugging and plugging back in the adapter, trying my other dock, and right now I have it using my pro controller charger plugged in to the dock.

I’ll admit I was using an Insignia dock most of time, which is Best Buy’s generic brand, but I looked it up and it has the same hardware that the Nintendo one has. My Nintendo dock isn’t charging it either.

I have an online subscription, that I in fact just renewed the other day, so I could still access my island on a different Switch, but I really don’t want to buy another game console right now. I just bought the new Xbox…

My switch isn’t even that old either. I got it as a gift in December 2019 for New Horizons. I’m just really fed up with it right now.

Update: I plugged it into a different power adapter and it works!!! It lit up! But I don’t feel safe charging it without the Nintendo dock so I’ll just order a new adapter.

Thank you ❤ I lost a young cat last year due to a dog attack they were best friends so they are now together in heaven.

sending you lots of hugs for this and about your recent news. . please let me know if you need to talk or anything. I’m here for you and am sorry about both. it breaks my heart too .

My mom does not think my gray cat is doing good and she thinks she is going blind which she says is a symptom her condition. She is still responsive to me and seems fine aside from the fact she is staying in my dad’s room in a basket. :/ I am not ready. I want her to live six more months at least without suffering. I know i am being selfish, but my kitties are everything to me.

My mom just came home from a party and explained what she meant about my cat not being being able to see; she apparently is walking into things so my mom and dad have to carry her from her basket to eat :/ and so she is going downhill fast. i don’t want to accept that i might be time soon she still is purring and showing affection. she isn’t out of it like her sister was when her sister was still here and sick.

I’m still physically sick from the stress of being blocked. It’s gotten so bad that I haven’t been able to focus on my overdue essay. Now I have to go to the doctor to see what’s wrong…

Just a little tired. Not a lot of "me time" recently, and my mum certainly isn't helping things this morning. She's like a little baby that needs her diaper changed, incapable of doing anything herself in this age of technology. I know it's not really her fault, but I couldn't help but resent her (and my dad, of course). Filiality doesn't suit me. I know Asians are supposed to be big on filiality and respecting your parents, but I never could feel any kind of attachment towards my parents due to the lack of love I felt from them growing up. I find my mum to be a bother. I'm a grown man who couldn't get away from his mother. I'm a walking textbook cliché.

I shouldn't go on talking about this anymore though, or it would get dark again like last time because I have far more poisonous thoughts I'm trying to keep to myself. God knows I wouldn't want to upset anyone with my feelings.

UTI. Can't get antibiotics without seeing a doctor first... don't think they would accept my out of state insurance either. It hurts.

I’m bothered by so many things right now.

Work was terrible. I hated being there today, and wish I hadn’t picked up this person’s shift for them. I’m so sick of trying in life and just want to give up. Everyone always gives the same old “it’ll get better” crap, but it has been a year and a half since I graduated from university and nothing is getting better. In fact, everything is getting worse. I can’t get a good job that makes use of my degree, and every place I work at is low on employees because people keep quitting their jobs. It’s just an entire mess. Add onto all of this that I’ve been at home most of the time during this pandemic, my mom died from cancer, and I have Aspergers, and you have a recipe for disaster. I don’t even think I’m using my time wisely, and I don’t hangout with any friends in real life anymore, not even my best friend. My sleep schedule has been messed up for over a year, to the point where my life span could be shortened. I’m so sick of pretending I care about others when there’s been countless nights where I cried hysterically and no one was there to care about me or hug me. The only three good qualities about myself are that I’m kind, I’m good at martial arts, and I’m good at writing. But you can’t make a career out of being kind, so that’s worthless. I can’t make a career out of my martial arts either, and I haven’t wrote in a long time because I’ve lost all my passion for it, even though I’m good at it. I don’t know what to do about all of this. The world just keeps getting crappier and crappier by the day…

Hey, sorry to hear you're not doing well right now. And in my opinion, "being kind" isn't worthless. It's actually probably one of the most valuable things in the world, naïve as that might sound. A lot of people could use more of being kind. And honestly, I like seeing you around anyway, not to mention liking what you write.

And the truth is, I've been there, man, that feeling of wanting to give up on everything, trying in life, feeling worthless and just giving up on my passions altogether; all that jazz. And I think that I'm still living that phase even though it's been better nowadays. I know it's cliched, but I think what helps is just to take each day at a time. I think there came a point in my life when I became so numb to my own suffering and loneliness that I just took what life offers me each day. It's not the most practical solution, but talking to people does help ease that pain a little bit... till we make it to the next day. The forum has plenty of friendly folks that will be there for you should you need a smile.

And in my opinion, I don't think it will ever get better for most people, at least not in any significant manner. I've accepted that, which is why it's easier to just get through each day not feeling disappointed, just taking what I can get. It's not something pleasant to hear, but sometimes, life gets to a point where it's too tiring to just try harder anymore, and I think it's perfectly okay to just be content with that. They say that true happiness isn't about getting everything, but to be content with what you have. Food for thought.

I'm pretty sure my glasses are giving me headaches. I've tried re-fitting them a few times and nothing seems to feel right I think my prescription lenses are either too strong or too weak...

Oh man I feel this. I get UTIs all the freakin time and it's torture. You can get meds called AZO or Uristat (the active ingredient is Phenazopyridine) from the grocery store to help with the pain until you get to a doctor, it wont go away without prescribed antibiotics but the pain relief helps a lot.

Is there a CVS walk-in clinic nearby? They can prescribe antibiotics within minutes. I visited one several years ago, when I also had out of state insurance...I don't remember how much it ended up costing me, but I think it was pretty reasonable. I think Planned Parenthood is another option.

i feel the exact same way, everyone’s so loud and talkative with tons of friends and im just sitting there quietly. i want friends but i don’t exactly know how to make any and some people are just so annoying. i like my school but half the students have zero common sense, there’s like a fight or some other dumb incident every week. but i mean, it’s not all bad… middle school was worse in some ways, at least my school has it’s redeeming qualities. i just wish i was a normal person who isn’t afraid to talk.

It may not clear it up entirely, but get cranberry juice or uricalm, I think it's called? It's basically cranberry pills, they will turn your urine bright orange though, FYI, so don't be alarmed definitely helps.

Hey Dun, I'm so sorry to hear. I want to say something nice to make you feel better, but I doubt my words alone could offer the kind of console you'd need. It's nice to remember the good times with your kitty at this time, just cherishing the endearing moments you had. I know that's what I'd do if my beloved pet passes away. She loves you a lot and would probably would wanna see you happy. I know that's such a trite and cliched statement, but our loved ones would probably just wanna see us happy. Especially animals. Animals can be very loving.

thanks so much . This means a lot, trust me. I really appreciate that you took the time to respond again even though it wasn’t necessary . it was very kind of you and everyone else who has messaged me. Thank you and everyone. I’m sure my kitty would appreciate it too; she loves head rubs from anyone even people she doesn’t know .
