What's Bothering You?

not really a bother in the same vain as others, but I still feel like it goes here.

after having been emotionally numb so often for these last few weeks, I have a wave of emotions washing over me. I'm thinking about my friends and their struggles, I love them very much and my heart aches for them and I can't help but cry 😭

you guys mean so much to me, you're always in my heart and you have all my care and support. my heart is full with the love of my dear friends 🫶 I have some personal things to tend to but I'm hoping to reach out to a few of those lovely friends this evening 💗
 
Feel like im the only person who had a very bad time on this site.
I can assure you that you are not the only one.

While my experiences on this site have been mostly good, believe me, I have occasionally had some unpleasant experiences/encounters. However, it's probably better if I don't give any details.
 
i’m so hungry but i was too tired to get groceries today. i don’t wanna be lazy and just get some junk food from across the road again but i might have to ;-;

I know how that feels.
 
amazon is trying to convince me to return my laptop with a swollen lithium battery with NO precautions despite their own website saying not to ship in damaged lithium batteries unless they can be removed from the device. (which it can't, it's a welded shut laptop.) the customer service rep. claims the information is "wrong" despite plenty of other places saying Not to do this, and then accused me of threatening him when i pointed out that if this thing explodes or catches fire during shipping (rare as that might be) it'll likely be me in trouble not them. if they want to send me the appropriate packaging and labels and clear instructions, fair enough, but they don't, they just want to recoup their money, and they haven't given me any information on how i should be shipping it despite it, y'know, being a hazard. their supervisor is just echoing the same thing: "we can't refund without a return", and then giving me absolutely no instruction or reference on how to do that SAFELY. just keeps saying the courier knows how to handle it safely as if i'm just supposed to hand the unpackaged laptop to the courier ????? this is stressing me out so bad i'm in tears lol. it's literally like talking to a brick wall.
 
still feeling so tired and fatigued. it's even worse because there's this little creeping voice in my head that's trying to say "you have no reason to be so tired, you haven't done anything, you're just being lazy".

I do have a reason to be tired. I just came out of a nearly month and a half long hypomanic episode. I had to go into the emergency room earlier this week because I was so distressed and unstable. I'm still pretty unstable, mentally but mostly emotionally, because I haven't even started my med change yet. dealing with such severe cases of mental health episodes is incredibly draining and exhausting, I wish more people understood that. it's so hurtful to tell someone who deals with mental illnesses that they're being lazy and have no reason to be tired. it's invalidating and, quite frankly, very rude.

thankfully I've gotten much better at validating myself and my own experiences, though I still struggle sometimes. but trust me, if I could get up and start doing stuff as early as possible, then I definitely would. I don't like to lie around. but I just really, really need the rest. 😔
 
I have been reading about the medication my moms Dr wants to try and there are so many side effects that worry me . The cost is also crazy expensive even with good insurance. I don’t know how anyway without insurance is expected to be able to get help when things cost so much. There is one other medication they could try but not sure if it would be covered at all plus just as many side effects. I wish they could make medication that doesn’t have so many side effects.
 
My dad's girlfriend started off being super nice and kind and now she's turning into this insane raging ***** about every single thing my partner and I do in our house. We can't touch any of her stuff despite it taking up 90% of the house. She says I owe her $30 because my boyfriend used her garlic seasoning?????? WHAT???
 
Honestly, there are a lot of things bothering me this week; but I don't have the energy to think about all of them. Maybe typing about the easiest stressor will help a bit. Because I accidentally broke the vacuum while trying to clean it, I now have to move some money from my Christmas gifts fund to buy another vacuum. I hate having to count every dollar that I spend and visit websites for the best value.
 
I was looking forward to playing two new games this week, but one is currently unplayable and the other got delayed at the last minute which has just added to my frustration at the amount of ridiculously glitchy games that are currently being released. 🙄
 
new development in the worst week of my life: someone stole my new pc! it got delivered to a completely different unknown address (i've no idea where, because they're claiming it was delivered here, and there's no contact for the driver) and not only did the person ACCEPT IT, they might've potentially even signed my surname. (unclear. the automated response when i tried calling the courier company said my name was signed, but i'm not sure if it was just reciting the name on the receipt/package.) i'm... no words. what a horrible, selfish person regardless for not just telling the driver, "hey we didn't order anything from here," or "that's not my address or name on the label". so now i'm just missing a £750 pc lmao. emailed the seller company, and i can only presume they're opening an investigation with the courier service -- because i wasn't allowed to do it myself -- but they haven't answered me again yet. i know they're (hopefully?) probably doing their best, but the lack of response is making me very anxious when they initially responded very quickly. like that's a lot of money to just have completely up in the air.
 
finally got my new med picked up and I plan on usually taking it in the evening just like my old med, but I'm honestly so tempted to just take one now and then I'll wait til tomorrow afternoon/evening to take it again. I just know that, right now, I oddly feel pretty okay and very miserable at the same time. I'm so tired of dealing with this mood disorder, I want to start getting it under control as soon as I can 😞

(for those wondering, bipolar meds have a pretty short half life, so it shouldn't take as long to get into my system as an anti depressant/anxiety med would, hence why I want to take it now instead of later)

edit: also I'm in one of those moods where I crave stimulation, and yet somehow every single thing I do is irritating me, including things that I want to do. like I'm simultaneously ovrstimulated and understimulated. fun. 🙃

I wish Steam IDs were changable, even if the fresh start is better for me. At least I'll have amazing bundle savings over the coming years.
