What's Bothering You?

My mom and I decided to start saving up to move to upstate New York, but my birth mom keeps telling us not to go. I'm almost 24. I'm old enough to decide where I want to live and I don't know why she acts like I can't have any agency in my choice. The cost of living there is much lower, there are more jobs, and I'd feel less isolated than I do here in rural Oregon. It's a smart move. I wish she'd just let me live my life.
 
Just as I'm about to leave for work, feeling light headed again, have to sit down a bit DX was happening as I was doing coffee too.

Might ask doctors as I was wondering if I'm low on any vitamins or anything. Will see if they think I need a blood test, though had one before and said it was fine. Could be work related stress? That won't change anytime soon.

It sounds like maybe dehydration
 
Going to unfortunately need surgery on both of my legs X_X

Went to my podiatrist yesterday and he told me 4 nerves in EACH leg (8 total) are ALL compressed and need to be released via surgery. I asked if I could do nerve block shots instead. He warned me saying I could most likely only get away with 2 rounds of those, until I'd need the surgery to be performed. I'm not looking forward to it at all, but the good thing is I can be weight-bearing almost immediately after the procedure! ^_^

It's still frustrating though.. I never used to have such problems :[ I'm only 24, lol.
 
I feel like all my enthusiasm for the internet is gone. I had another online friend ditch me yesterday (he unfriended everyone in the group chat and left with no explanation), three more people ghosted me, and I was banned from a random discord server for seemingly no reason in just the past two months alone. I also left a Discord server I moderated because filtering the endless supply of creeps that tried to get in was tiring. I still message the people online I've known for at least a year and still moderate the two smaller servers I was running before, but I get very little joy from it. A part of it is probably the nasty breakup I had a few months ago, but another part of me has just realized that I'm nothing more than a username on a webpage to nearly everyone online and it's not worth joining new communities or meeting many new people on the internet.

To make myself feel better I unfriended several people who ghosted me, but kept me on their lists for some reason and left a bunch of Discord servers I no longer used. I also deleted Reddit and only open Facebook or Bluesky to post updates occasionally. The hollow feeling I have from the internet is still there, but setting these boundaries prevent me from wasting more time and feeling even worse. I was tempted to leave here too, but the drama from earlier this year has mostly subsided and I'm optimistic the next Animal Crossing game will bring new life to the website.

I hate that I wasted nearly eight years of my life on various online communities and people that hurt me or treated me like I was disposable. I'm hoping moving out east next year and taking a road trip will clear my mind and make me happier than I am now.
