I am so sick omg
It's not even a sick-sick (I think, I haven't taken my temperature) I feel sick cause I'm overworked and stressed from work, but no one else seems to realize this. I'm constantly relied on to do things or help out with somethin else. My name is called so often when certain things happen or need to be done. I'm expected to do 10 things at once and managing it all in a timely proficient fashion, no delays no lapses. I've been working 40+ hour work weeks for the past month, possibly 2.
What gets me more thou is that other people can work 40+ work weeks and be fine, they do it all the time. Like, my body really can't handle 40-43 hour work weeks for a month or so without crashing and burning like it did today?
My entire body aches, esp my back, legs and knees. I feel hot all time time and really cold sometimes, eating is hard, I felt like I wanted to maybe puke a few times, I was running on near empty, my throat is sore, my head hurts, my stomach hurts, earlier today I was so god damn tired that it was a struggle to not go to sleep right on the spot. At one point I had to sit down while drying dogs off on top of the counter (normally I stand) for the rest of my shift cause my legs and knees hurt so much, it took too much energy to keep standing. While drying dogs off on the floor I kept my back pressed against the counter wall thingy since that made it not hurt, but it also puts me in an awkward spot and I can't dry off the entirety of the dog there so at times I had to get off of it. I struggled lifting dogs up cause I had zero energy, plus bending hurts my knees and headache. I mean, a fat Sheltie (basically small Collies) was a struggle to make stand up for me with my arm.
And this is just Friday! I have to do all of this and more tomorrow cause it's the day before a holiday so it's gonna be slammed. I have go throu all of this again and more
We're already short staffed in the back, along with a multitude of other issues, if I call out or even leave early it really ***** over the other people working back there.
I took asprin for the body pain but I don't think it helped much. Also, some part of me wonders if I'm playing this up too much, like it's really not that bad and I'm just over reacting.
Atleast tomorrow I get to see 3 out of many of my fav dogs (they come every Saturday without fail).

an artist i commissioned a month ago now, i think. was promised a sketch a few days after the initial contact but didn't receive it because they fell ill which is fine, but several updates later and there's still been no sketch. idk if it's because they're doing sketches for all 6 characters to show at once, but i wish they'd at least be more transparent and say if that's the case

No dms and discord messages
There is a chance that I misread the tone, but I’m bothered that happened on a discord server. A friend said they were sleep deprived and I sent them good vibes, which is what we do there when people are having a bad day or something. I was just trying to be nice… she has been passive aggressive to me a bit when i tried awkwardly to joke but it fell flat when i tried to explain joke; I put up with it since she is going through a lot. And she also is to people she doesn’t like.
Since my dad has covid, i really don’t have the patience to tolerate that right now and frankly I’m tired of that behavior period and being stepped on and apologizing when i didn’t do anything wrong.
Also my dad’s phone or tablet is so loud i can hear it with my door shut.

This wasn’t on here but:
I posted that I was working a solo shift at 7-Eleven at night and we got robbed. Someone replied to it and said “Good I don’t feel sorry for u. u deserve it because god doesn’t let bad things happen to good people.” It must be easy to be an ******* behind a screen.

@Croconaw Sorry you had to go through that! I had something similar happen when I worked construction late at night one time. People rip the copper out of walls (mostly drug-addicts) since scrap is so expensive. That was a nerve-wracking night lol... Especially when I was told to investigate the loud noises.
Glad that you're alright. I mean physically...since it is very nerve-wracking. That was just some stupid troll, probably even a child who thinks they were being edgy. Try not to pay them any mind.
@Stella-Io Give them an inch and they will take a mile. Not trying to be rude. Been there before, where so many people seemingly relied on me, but at at the same time were so incompetent that they couldn't pick up after themselves. Your higher-ups aren't going to say anything, even if it is evident that you are struggling from exhaustion and need a day to recharge. If you need a day off to rest, find a way to make it happen. Your health is more important than your corporate company.
I don't know about where you're from or your place of business, but most places are short-staffed because they don't value/treat their employees right and pay them terribly. That's not someone you should be bending over backwards for. They wouldn't do the same for you. Our workforce wouldn't be so short-staffed if that were the case.
@daringred_ Did you pay them in advance and or where was this transaction made? If you didn't pay for it, I wouldn't worry about it and move on. Unless you really want it. If you did pay them and it's clear that there isn't any progress of any kind done, I'd understand being annoyed. Like I know Etsy has something like a item not received button for when there was no service. There comes a time when you've given someone enough patience, especially when money is tendered. People have to realize it's still a service that needs to be met and isn't a hobby when money is involved.
@Dunquixote Sorry your friend is making you feel that way. If it were me, I'd probably give them some space so they can cool themselves down and come back to you/their friends when they have a better attitude.

I'm just a ghost.
I feel so critical of myself for not preventing diabetes in the first place. The thing is I knew that something bad was happening to me but I made the stupid decision of ignoring the problem. The thing is I had problems last year with my doctors who somehow didn't get back to me when they took my blood. I also was told by a certain doctor who said "No matter how healthy you are, you're always going to have problems with your body" that part just crushed my soul and I just felt like nothing mattered anymore. So I started back eating Junk food.
The thing is I could've stopped myself from doing that but instead the addiction to junk food just got the better of me and it just out of control. Then it was only when by March 23rd that I started to feel so unwell. Thats when I told my mom to call 911 and thats how I ended up in the hospital. The doctors and nurses told me that I had diabetes because of my blood sugar being so high at 550. I knew at that point that it was the straw that broke the camels back because I allowed this to happen all because I didn't take my health seriously.
Now before anyone tries to cheer me up let me just explain one other thing. I have made improvements to my diet and my blood sugar has gone back to normal after taking insulin for the past 2 weeks. Whats driving me crazy is that I don't know if I have diabetes because my blood sugar ratings are more stable. The numbers were 105 in the Morning, 95 in the Afternoon, and 94 in the Evening. (this was today) This was before I ate a meal. So I beginning to wonder if maybe I somehow reversed the Diabetes or if for some reason I had enough Insulin from all the shots I've taken to get me back to normal. I don't know anymore and I feel like I've just lost my mind over this whole thing. I know I have an appointment coming on Monday to see the Diabetic doctor but I am just so unsure. Maybe I'm overthinking but this has just been getting to me so much these days and its affecting my mental health.

The point of insulin is to manage your blood sugar levels, so this is most likely why your levels have stabilised.
As much as it sucks, your doctor is right: unfortunately everyone has issues with their body and we cannot always control that. We just need to do our best to manage the conditions/symptoms so that we can keep ourselves in the best shape possible. I get it, by the way. I've nerve damage (this was definitely preventable), anaemia (was potentially preventable), internal cysts, and my testosterone levels are ****ed. I didn't learn of any of this until my late 20s when these things became an obvious problem and I sought diagnosis. Nothing can be done to cure it now, and there's no point in hating myself for it, so I just take what treatment I'm offered and get on with it. Take the time to feel sad and hate any decisions you felt led to this diagnosis, by all means, but after you just need to accept that this is what you need to live with and do your best to make sure it doesn't get worse. Be kind to yourself man, cos no one else is going to be.

You see me right now I cannot handle this amount of stress. This is not helping my situation. If I have to be forced to do things that I have no choice to do then thats how its going to be. I allowed this to happen so I am going to DO things more seriously and MAKE sure that I don't end up back in the hospital. I am going to try really hard to be healthy and not let this happen again for the last time. I am sorry if I sound passive aggressive but this is just the type of stuff that I can't handle and I am just so sick and tired of gaslighting myself,
I should not have been working during that time unfortunately. The manager had me working immediately after my surgery without any recovery time. Even after seeing a picture of my bruised face, it wasn’t enough apparently. I was only placed on light duty, which was honestly surprising. I wasn’t even expecting that to happen. I had a very manipulative manager. There’s a reason I don’t work there anymore.
Anyway, thank you for responding. I’m a bit sensitive on the inside so even stupid comments like this get to me. It’s probably a kid thinking it’s cool to troll online, especially since it happened on YouTube.

i came home yesterday after being away for a while and nobody told me my sister&mom were under the weather. they did a covid test yesterday, and the results came today and theyre positive.
what sucks is i was brushing my teeth yesterday & both of them came in the bathroom at THE SAME TIME. i was squeamish, my sister was wearing a mask but my mom wasn’t. i told them that if they had covid then i would hate them for putting me at risk (half playful mostly srs) and my mom brushed it off as it if would never happen. well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ this sucks bc my grandma is also here & she drove 4 hours yesterday to get here(didn’t know about their sickness either). now she has to drive home the four whole hours again today after barely seeing us and i’m cryign and missing her already bc i really wanted to spend time with her :’( and i baked a carrot cake for easter and now noone can eat it lol

I have someone I work with who I’d like to be friends with outside of work. I talked to her quite a bit about traveling and today, I found out we both have chocolate labs. She got really deep a few days ago and told me a bunch of very personal stuff that I won’t share because it’s her business. She has bipolar disorder and I admittedly don’t know much about it so I’m looking up more information about it. I really don’t think she’d have a problem with being friends outside of work, especially since she was the one who gave me a ride home last Friday and she seems to trust me a lot. I’m trying to be careful with how I approach this, though. She’s on severe depression and bipolar meds, but we surprisingly have quite a bit in common.
Sounds like my dad, wants to get along but yeah he basically snaps at me when he can *rolls eyes*
Also don't feel obliged just cause they are family, if he is like that I'd minimize the contact so he doesn't get a chance to do stuff.
Don't know if you can hang out with someone else or just skip it, but yeah.

i did pay half upfront via paypal, yes, and i would really prefer the art, i just don't want to seem rude or impatient by messaging them more often than i should. here's the timeline so far for anyone interested and/or willing to offer advice:
- march 19th: i contact them to order 6 pieces for a commission. they're made using a base and are simple-ish gifs. they say the work will be done asap and that they should have at least 1 piece done by the following tuesday (march 22nd).
- march 25th: after hearing nothing back, they message me on discord saying they caught a bug going around, which is perfectly fine, as i tell them.
- april 4th: i message them asking for an update, saying i don't mind if they're busy with school/work or still sick, i'd just like some transparency. they get back to me almost immediately saying they just got over their sickness and that i could expect a piece by the next day (april 5th). next day comes around, they say it might still be tomorrow (april 6th) because they got caught off-guard by other things that were neglected due to them being sick. again, i say this is fine.
- april 11th: i hear nothing back until now. they say they dragged themselves out of art-block and are no longer sick or busy so they're going to be working today. i tell them that's great, and that's the last i've heard from them.

Some things I don't like about being a kid is a) having to ask permission for just about everything, and b) being dependent on my parents. While I'm glad I don't have to worry about things like food and taxes, I feel that there are some drawbacks. If I could, I would bake a cake at 11:30 in the morning. But I'd have to ask my parents first, and they'd say it's "too early" and make me eat breakfast or lunch first. Though I see their point, I woke up less than an hour ago.
Another thing is that I'm very dependent on my dad to get Dog Man books at the moment. To put into perspective of how much I want those books, I keep having dreams about receiving them almost every day and it's all I think about. I feel that it's getting to an obsessive point and I'm a little concerned. Anyway, just about every day I pester my dad with, "So, any luck with those Dog Man books?" I do feel bad 'cause my dad gets annoyed, but I feel the need to be persistent 'cause he almost never keeps his promises.
On Wednesday I asked him the same question, and he said, "I'll be driving to Montréal sometime this week and will pick up the books then." But I don't know if he's being honest. I get it though, since the death of my uncle both my parents have been busy with moving his stuff plus the funeral. I wish I was an adult so I'd have more freedom, but then again I don't know if I'd still want those Dog Man books. And of course, there would be a ton of responsibilities that I currently feel unprepared for.

Sometimes I feel like I gaslighted myself way too many times that I end up sabotaging things. I really need to stop doing this.
Ok, so several things are standing out to me here. 1. They keep giving you a timeline and breaking it. They could very well be actually working on it right now as they say, but even I don’t believe it until they actually finish it. Who even knows at this point. Which says that they’ve broken trust and I would not commission someone in the future who has broken my trust.
2. They’ve been waiting for you to contact them before saying anything about what’s going on. If they give you a timeline and that time has passed they should be able to come to you by acknowledging the situation. I get how life and situations come up, but in a situation where money is involved a simple hey I know I said it would be ready by this time but things have come up says a lot more about their reliability to me.
As for what you should do in this situation is up to how comfortable you feel with it, but I think you have a right to feel however you’re feeling. I think what’s most important is that you need to decide where your personal boundaries are and see them through. While I think some situations are ok to put others first before yourself I don’t think this situation is one of them just my opinion. If you don’t put up proper boundaries with people they will not give you respect and will take advantage of that fact. If people push your boundaries it’s ok to push back.
Post automatically merged:
You may not believe this, but if you seek out comfort you’ll never find it, but if you search for the truth in yourself you may just find exactly that. So I’d have to say you’re right in this

I wish people wouldn't immediately stereotype me because of my religion, theres so many misconceptions and jokes but i sometimes feel like nobody takes it seriously
