What's Bothering You?

If it's possible for you, I recommend joining a weekly class or hobby group in your area. I've been trying to find new in-person friends and although I haven't found my people yet, it can be good to have routinely things to look forward to. ATM my current sights are on the local SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) chapter. I've been to a few meetings and I love how it's such a wide variety of people! I'm neither the youngest nor the oldest. Might be worth looking into in your area if you have any interest in history or learning new skills!
I think this is a good idea. For years I have been thinking about finding something like that. A beginning painting class, or maybe a chess club. I even looked into a local group who gathers for games of horseshoes! It all sounds so fun, but actually getting myself to do it is the hard part!
 
I have been having reactions to the air quality and I am waiting for it to rain at the end of the week, but the week is so long... It's only Tuesday. I don't want to be here experiencing this at all. I can't get away from it because it gets into this old falling apart house. I cannot ask anyone to drive me somewhere safer until it goes away and I can't just ask for an air purifier. The last time I panicked over the air quality, I quickly learned my parents were the wrong people to talk to even though that was my only option if anything was going to be done about it. My mom made my panic attacks worse with the awful things she said that weren't even related to the situation. I don't know how she can be such an awful person sometimes, but she just is.
I have been foolishly trying to put up with this because we're only in the yellow and I thought maybe time would pass fast... Time is not passing fast and I already feel miserable enough that it is giving me anxiety. I am also starting to get worried that the air quality could get worse before it rains.
I think all I can do is bear it and try to enjoy the new Deltarune chapters this week. But I think I am going to snap again before the air goes back to normal... What else am I supposed to do if my health is in danger and nobody cares?
 
I get really tired of seeing people only bring up Men's Mental Health Month on Pride Month posts. It's happening *a lot* on social media.

Instead of raising actual separate awareness for mental health month it's suddenly only relevant to discredit the LGBT community. These same people are doing nothing else to raise awareness for mental health.

I say this as a male who has been hospitalized due to mental health.

The people yelling for a 'Straight Pride Month' are equally annoying.

I've seen men complaining about women trying to support men's mental health or male suicide awareness or whatever because "women will never understand how men feel" and "women don't actually care about men's feelings"
 
I don't understand why the baby boomers and Gen X act like we, the new generations, are supposed to live in a world where everything has gotten so unfair. Its so hard to find a job, even if you get paid its not enough to cover daily expenses, inflation has gotten bad, and even if you try to find an apartment they come up with the most ridiclous requirements of having to make a certain amount of money and of course making sure that your credit score it great. I've lost my home since September 2024 because I was stuck in Credit Card Debt, and I got laid off from my job due to COVID-19. I couldn't find any work, and I was stuck with Social Security Administration (SSA) income, which wasn't enough to cover my bills and mortgage. I tried to get Home Assistance, but the mortgage company I had before, Midland Mortgage, didn't seem to care, and they keep telling me that I don't meet the requirements. As a result, I had to sell my home and then store all of my belongings, and then live at an Airbnb until I found an apartment. After eight long months, I found one in a stable place than I was last year. Let me tell you, it's rough out here, and the things that the older generation is supposed to make you think are not really up to date with how things have changed in the last 5 years. It's that bad, and don't let them tell you otherwise. Something needs to change before things can only get worse before they get better.
 
This is very minor. I’m just a bit anxious about what is about to happen in the next episodes of One Piece that I’m watching 😅. I wish I could enjoy anime without getting anxious. Something bad is about to happen - I’m watching a flashback and it is something that I knew even before the start of the arc (just not how it happens). It still doesn’t stop me from being anxious from the anticipation.

No comments or replies please. This is very minor as I said. I’m enjoying the anime, I’ve been dreading this part for quite sone time now 😅; it is why I dropped the manga at sone point when the arc was still new. I am trying to push through it and tell myself I can’t keep procrastinating forever lol.
 
I'm actually disgusted with the Irish gardaí. There's been this guy on social media making threats to slice up Irish babies and children because apparently Irish people "pissed him off" and the police did nothing for FIVE DAYS. A lot of the newspapers I've tried to read will not state the name of this man, I can't find anything on who exactly he is other than a few mentioning name and age. The police only arrested him after a school went into lockdown due to reports of him being in the area. This is not the first case of newspapers and gardaí protecting the identities of men who have been making threats and those who have actually acted on those threats. I'm actually fed up with our system

I can't tell if there's a really annoying noise in my house, or it's just tinnitus...
I just got home from a hard day, into a house that is warmer and quieter, so I do think it was tinnitus...The more I think about it, the louder it gets.
