What's Bothering You?

[Giddy]

My boss isn't coming in, and she asks me if I could wait for my coworker, which is fine.
What isn't fine is that I already sent my boss my hours for this month, this week I put my usual hours, I can't change it either since last time she had a meltdown or something and didn't know which was which? When if I sent it again, means it changed since I worked a bit more hours than the last one. Eve though I explained that to her before sending it. So fustrating.

little pregnant stray cat just went off to the vet. i've ended up sick this morning because i started new meds so couldn't go with them, but it's probably for the best because i think i would've cried. she was such a sweet, fussy little thing, i'm trying to think positively and hope she gets good care and a nice home <3

It's taking me over 20 minutes to get out of bed to get ready for work. It's not that I'm lazy but my body feels that burnt out. I'm sick of this.

I wish dogs lived longer we got a call from my brother that he had his gf had to say goodbye to one of their dogs Baron. He was such a good boy and we all miss him so much. I feel so bad for them.

Comments left by 8 year olds in YouTube comment sections saying stuff like "bro stop hating" to valid criticism videos.

On Facebook, I had one woman try to shame me for saying how I disliked Sia after finding out what a terrible person she is after Music was released and others rightfully called her out for making it so offensive to the autistic community and the details of her relationship with Maddie Ziegler which are truly disturbing and how Sia keeps acting like some victim and won’t keep promises she had made. The woman’s reasoning for saying that I was wrong was “Sia has been through so much oppression and overcame her problems and is a strong inspiration for others.” I literally had to point out how Music displayed a technique used on autistic kids who are having meltdowns that has actually killed its victims before and how she promised to remove that scene from the movie yet it is still unedited four years later and how Sia has shown her true colors by not accepting criticism for her being so ableist and acting like she’s a victim of bullying when everyone who has been criticizing her have very valid points and told her what she did wrong in the best way without trying to say that she was a bad person for doing so. All those people were trying to do is educate her about the truth on autism and that what she put into Music was both inaccurate and a horrible representation of the disorder.

I do wash my face a couple of times a day! I also have oily skin.

Over the years I have tried medications as well from the dermatologist. I have tried everything, but...

I think the main culprit would be my tourettes syndrome... meaning, along with all of the other fun uncontrollable facial and body movements, I also touch my face and head constantly without realizing it. And since I have always had blue collar jobs getting my hands dirty, I am pretty sure I am just putting dirt on my face all day.

This is actually the first time I have really mentioned having tourettes, so go easy on the questions. I'm not sure how I feel about putting that out there. It's been a source of embarrassment since I was a kid.

That's good! Since your skin's oily make sure you don't use face washes/moisturizers that are heavy on the moisturizing ingredients (such as coco/shea, olive oil, hemp, or other nut oils), since that can make your face even more oily. Gel based moisturizers are gonna be friendlier for you.

I don't know much about tourettes aside from you guys sadly getting a bad rap, but you are right that touching your face may be a factor as well.

My memory issues and how no one seems to take them seriously. "Everyone forgets things!" Not like this. "It's probably anxiety!" I'm in therapy and on meds. It's not anxiety. "You must be tired." I'm tired of everyone trying to downplay this.

Kind of frustrated at my roommate. (Partner? It's sort of an odd situation.)
There's a minimally-invasive procedure I would like to get done for preventative purposes that he supports, but also feels isn't necessary and that I'm being paranoid about things, which is the only thing holding me back from seeking it out (because it makes me feel like an idiot). Except... he himself has an upcoming procedure scheduled that he has by this point fully acknowledged he only set up because of health anxiety, and that probably will uncover nothing wrong. He still wants to go through with it "just in case", though. "Just in case" is why I want my procedure done...

Don't let someone else's opinions hold you back. If it would make you feel better then you should go ahead.

Oh, you're not wrong at all. What ultimately matters is my own wishes, seeing as it's something that would only affect my body and health. I just struggle to advocate for myself as much of my life has been spent having my opinions downplayed at best, so it's hard for me to put my foot down. It's something I need to work on a lot more.

I don't think I am going to get out of this depression. The only thing I am really looking forward to is a video game so obviously that's not going to last. It's not going to change the fact I can't see a doctor, the house is falling apart, and the world is getting more and more frightening. At this rate I am not expecting any of that to get solved before I die.

I am in the final stages of unpacking my stuff but my god it is so darn tiring. I just want this whole thing to end. These last 4 months have been so streseful. Moving is the worst thing I've ever have to do in my life.

A month ago this most appalling, hateful, hard-to-ignore graffiti appeared on this big metal maintenance box on a busy main road where I live. We submitted multiple online tickets and nothing had been done or said about it until I finally submitted a ticket in the right category yesterday -- only to get a call today about how it's not public property so it's up to the owners to get it removed

I hate seeing it, it makes me uncomfortable about where I live. Idk why the owners can't just take some paint or even a few laminated pieces of paper to quickly cover it up

The two eaglets I watch on Southwest Florida Eagle cam passed away unexpectedly. They had seizures. I decided to listen to this ABBA song in remembrance.

I suffer memory lapses too. It's unfortunate.

Sometimes people will think you aren't listening to them but that's not the case at all. I can listen but still forget something I was just told. I also forget names and faces. Even familiar names unfortunately.

Messages too. If I get a text or even a message in my inbox on a forum like this, there's a serious chance I'll completely forget and only see it days or weeks later.

I'm feeling a bout of low self-esteem. I don't want to be upset about what's bothering me, but it's really brought my mood down.

I'll be fine later... Maybe. I'm just sad.

really sick right now. not sure if it's caused by my new antidepressant (symptoms started within a few hours of me first taking it) or because i stopped the old one sunday night, following my doctor's instructions. or maybe both. i have really violent nausea, hot and cold flashes, shaking. (maybe insomnia, but the flashes could be keeping me awake.) i thought it had passed by this evening, but i just sat by the toilet for ages (it's 3AM) and can't get back to sleep because i still feel queasy. i called in sick today and said i would definitely try to be in tomorrow (well, technically today in five hours) but idk if i actually can

not looking for medical advice, as per the rules, just venting because i feel like death lol
