I'm crying because I hate that I've gotten older. I have a disease which statistically means I'm likely to die much younger than everyone else and I'm missing my youth so much.

Reading or watching things where people are growing up and going through high school and college makes me so sad.

I hate it. I really hate it. I wish life itself were so different.

 

Also I need a new job that has good health insurance. I'm so bad at working and I haven't had a real job in so long I don't even know if I can do it.

 

lost my fucking job today

at least I got a month's notice but I'm not doing well at all

 

I'm so sorry. It literally looks like everyone is just getting gutted by companies right now.

I hope you find a new one soon.

 

I am so sorry. That's such a scary feeling. Here to talk if you ever need someone to vent to.

 

I take Seroquel and gabapentin for anxiety so that helps make me a bit sleepy, but then I take Lunesta on top of it to really knock me tf out

 

How tf is everyone affording concert tickets? Like I don't understand.

Also, I have like zero feels about this FOB album and tour. I think that part of my life is over.

is this what its like to get "old"?

 

Honestly I feel like I'm being priced out of concerts and I am being a lot more selective now. I see some people buying pit tickets for like 6 shows for the same artist on a tour and good on them honestly but I get so anxious even going to like one show now

 

same

and I make a good living! Something with these concert prices will have to adjust at some point or I’ll just stop going or be incredibly selective haha

 

Yeah I’ve started to be very selective as well. I only currently have tickets for father john misty because I’ve never seen him.

 

Concerts usually make me anxious anyways lol I can't really imagine a big show like that. And paying the cost of a tattoo on tickets. But that's just my preference!

 

I go to concerts/festivals pretty frequently but I make the sacrifice of having basically no other hobbies lol

 

I think the fact that my last minute The 1975 tickets only cost me $50 will forever make me super selective about shows.

Second FOB said they were going to be at Fenway a few days ago, i was like "hahaha nope, won't be able to afford any concert there"

Like wtf happened to simple shows?

 

It’s called bad decisions and payment plans.

 

I paid $60 to see Kanye in 2016 lmao. Out of principle, I don't think I'd pay more than $75 unless it was a bucket list band (Radiohead, Deftones, etc.)

 

Lol posted my mental health musings in the wrong thread. ANYWAY

I saw a psychiatrist today. It was nice talking to a stranger. I know it's counterintuitive but once I establish a relationship with a therapist I want them to think im doing well so I get guarded and I'm not always as vulnerable with my therapist as I should be which I need to work on but in the meantime I'm relieved to have something to help with sleep and anxiety

 

I've never dated anyone who was into video games. My boyfriend is obsessed with fucking Diablo and I'm too old for this shit. Like, if I wanted to be ignored, I'd be single.

That is all.

 

don't get me wrong, I love him A LOT...but put the phone down for a few hours bro! lol.

 

My wife’s car broke down and is undrivable now. We can’t afford a new one. Idk how she’s going to get to work now, since we can’t afford an Uber or Lyft every day.

 

I worry about this all the time with my wife’s car. Any public transit options?

 

No. the suburbs suck

 

Just did a couples sensory deprivation float and oh man that was good for my mental health. And my very sore and stiff muscles feel so much better. Very cool experience

 

Diablo is probably one of the biggest time sucker games so my condolences

 

Has anyone had success with getting an ADHD evaluation/diagnosis through virtual visits? I know a proper evaluation requires a lot of sessions, including interviews with family and friends, but I can't do that since everyone I'm close to is scattered across the country. It is also expensive af. Currently, I'm being treated for ADHD with anti-depressants which has been helpful, but I'd like a treatment plan that is more tailored to my needs.

 

Having a rough one. Was out of town on a super stressful work trip last week and because of teething and sleep regressions the baby hasn’t let us sleep well since I got back. That and other stressors have left my wife and I on edge. We had the worst fight/argument we’ve had in a long time last night and even though we’re good now it’s just exhausting. I’m not into conflict and I always blame myself for issues even if they aren’t mine. Just burnt out but I’m happy to be on meds cause I know I am handling it all better than I would have 6 months ago
