What's Bothering You?

apparently a lot of chocolate and chocolate products have "concerning" levels of lead and cadmium???

My throat hurts. And for some reason it feels like it also has a dry feeling in the back of it. I feel like by tomorrow it's just going to be worse, because my brother was just sick with something like this.
 
im so tired of feeling so sick all the time :( i wish i knew what was wrong with me. all my bloodwork came back normal at the ER so idk im at a loss. getting checked this coming thursday so hopefully i will get atleast one answer </3
 
I don't know what I want, I don't know what I need... I'm so tired of constantly being so overwhelmed that it makes me feel physically ill. I could be getting up out of bed, but I feel like I'd rather go back to sleep because I'm exhausted and I don't want to deal with feeling sick right now.

edit: I may actually be sick. I just don't feel well and I'm tired and even a bit cold (though I'm always cold, but I'm wearing a lot of clothes and I'm under my heated blanket). I really should rest but I've always been a up-and-at-it person so it's hard for me to do that without feeling guilty. I shouldn't feel guilty for taking care of myself for a day or two. I need the rest.

I just had a kid ask their mom if I was a boy or girl, and that’s all I heard. It felt weird hearing “boy” but I definitely don’t feel like a girl either. I’ve been pushed into the female box for so long that it felt nice being called anything other than a girl. That’s why I thought I was a transman. After a while, that didn’t feel right either. But I started coming out to a few people at work — the ones who are also non-binary. I just want to be seen as a person and not pushed into a gender binary.

I’m guessing it’s good that the kid was confused? Because it means they see me as someone in the middle? That’s what I’m going for.

Now I’m going to come out fully at work but I need to wait until Monday when the GM comes back from vacation. This is just something I have to get over with before my coworkers get even more used to my deadname. I just transitioned into full time at this job not too long ago. I get the vibe that literally everyone here would be accepting. If you asked me for someone I didn’t like at my job, I’d be thinking on that for a while. I feel nothing but good energy from the people here, but I feel like I’m running out of time. I have to say something on Monday, but maybe after the day is over, unless it isn’t super busy. I don’t think it’s a good idea to bring it up unless not much is going on.

I’m ready to do this.
 
sick as a dog rn. i threw up earlier and it made me feel slightly better but other than that, still really sick. hopefully im over this by monday lmao
 
I swear, every time DST ends and I get an extra hour of sleep... I ALWAYS wake up an hour early anyway. It absolutely pisses me off.
I did the same thing. I was hoping to take advantage of the extra hour and sleep in today, but no... Oh well, it's an extra hour for me to get stuff done today. =)

I just hate that my body doesn't even let me sleep in, even though I really need to because my sleep schedule has been meh lately.
 
I've been so mentally and emotionally exhausted that I've been sleeping a lot more than usual (which I suppose is actually good, considering when my anxiety was rampant I could barely sleep at all), and I've been tense and having weird dreams (I actually had two today that made me nervous even though they were completely illogical), and just feeling fatigued and not having much desire to do anything.

I really do think I may be sick, but it's not quite a physical illness, though I am having some physical symptoms. it's also not a mental illness in the same vain as what I've dealt with before. I guess it's an acute illness, but I'm not even sure exactly how to describe it. maybe acute depression? I don't know. I do know though that I can't tell my parents or anyone else about it, because they'll say "but lying around will just make it worse". what part of "I'm so exhausted I can't find the energy to do anything, I need to rest" do you not get? that's like telling someone with the flu that resting in bed won't help them feel better. I hate the stigma on mental illness.

anyways, I really want to draw and work on laundry, and I would like to go to the store and get some important things, and also look for a white copic marker so I can do more traditional art. but as it stands, my best right now is to be cozy in my bed and watch videos (I've been especially interested in videos breaking down absurd and convoluted mechanics in pokemon games as of late). hopefully I'll feel a bit better later today. for now I need to be patient with myself; it's been a really rough few weeks for me in terms of rediscovering myself, figuring out my values and goals, and understanding my own mental health. it's overwhelming and draining. now more than ever I need to be gentle and understanding to myself.
 
my moms in the hospital. i think she had a panic attack, she told me her heart was beating super fast and it started hurting on the way to the ER. but i haven’t heard from her since 9 am, it’s 12 pm now. my dads with her right now, i asked him how she was and all he said was that she’s asleep right now. i had to go to work extremely anxious and i was in the position where you have to take orders all day and i couldn’t even take one order without crying :( im so stressed about it, i can’t imagine life without my mom. i had to go home from work, but i feel like such a burden :/
