The trivial complaints thread

[deermeat]

I am not going to assisted living, my case manager told me about it, and well... It's just not for me, I suppose. So right now I am thinking about 'going on an adventure' to Nashville after my SSI is set up, I've lived on the streets before but this time I'd be travelling a great distance  (Baltimore, Maryland to Nashville, Tennessee)

I keep on asking myself "is it worth it?". My roommate isn't so kind to me, in fact every situation I've been in has been abusive. It makes me worry whether or not the next one I'll be in will be the same, as that's all I've dealt with all my life. That is why I do not like the idea of Assisted Living anymore, it turns out you share a place with many other people and that is very scary to me- I don't trust people too much. I'd rather go my own way and have fun, the world is my playground. I don't have a true home nor family, so really what's the point of being alive? What is the point of living? Where am I to go? I keep asking myself these questions and I don't have any answers.
Death does not scare me, I have lost a lot in my life so I'm always wondering if I'd be the next to leave this planet. I see people my age talk about 'buying a car' or trying to make a name for themselves, people my age have housing and have families. Normally, if you are 19 and you are homeless without a family- people will assume you did something wrong, but I was merely dealt a bad hand at life. I am not a druggie, I am not a drinker, I am not an abuser. I'm physically disabled, I can't drive. I can make friends but I find myself distancing away in fear of losing them too.

I have to keep on thinking about the positives. So much has happened in my life, I feel so old- but I know this is only the beginning. All I want to do is live on my own in a nice house, with all my collections, and having a few pets.  I do not like how everyone relies on technology too much, I can't even apply for a job without it being online. It's scary, it's untrustworthy.

But I'll manage. If there's a will, there's a way. Thanks for listening, I guess. Hope everyone here is having a swell time

This is definitely an extremely trivial complaint of the highest order but I can't work up the motivation to work on my art at all. It's been about a month that I've been failing to get to any traction now, and it has been an immensely rough month, but I don't want that to hold me back; it hasn't held me back from doing other constructive things, but it has kind of killed off my creative drive. I've tried taking the compassionate route and just trying to do a quick sketch each day, even if I don't feel like doing it, but even that feels like too much aggro at the moment. I really want to go back and study the structural basics of drawing, then use that knowledge to develop a new art style and hopefully make something worthwhile that I could exhibit locally when things are more normal, and I know that goal isn't going to happen without a lot of work and consistent effort, but urgh, I am too all-over-the-place to focus on it at the moment. :/

I should be packing for my move but my body is very sore today for some reason. Even just sitting in this chair hurts

Sisters keep having disagreements, and I’m here listening to them argue. It’s annoying, so I tell the older one to leave the other alone since it’s a trivial argument over a clothing choice, and I get told to stay out of it. Thing is, I’ve been asked by them to make sure their arguments don’t cross a line...like what do you want from me?! Do you want me to intervene or not?

Well this is great. My psychiatrist retired and as such my appointment was cancelled. July 7th I have a Zoom appointment with a new one. I can't get my meds refilled because it's been longer than 90 days since I was last seen (the clinic was closed for a while like everything else). I run out of my meds very soon.

Let's just ignore the bolded warning on every piece of info about the medicine that says "do not suddenly stop taking this or you could die".

I know from past experience that after about three days without my depression meds I start getting, uh, a bit unstable.

Great.

I had a horrible migraine for 3 days. Today the sunlight was so bright that it hurt my eyes. I’m not usually that sensitive to sunlight.

Packages hurtling through time and space.

I know the mail system doesn't function that well right now, but it's still a massive nuisance. I have this one small package that was shipped to me from the US on April 14th, and it still doesn't look like it's going to be here anytime soon (under normal circumstances it usually takes a week). It was well on its way, until it said "Mail Preparation", The Hague. So I thought "Yay! It's in The Netherlands already!" Forget it. First it stayed that way for weeks, then it showed a whole freaky route through China and Vietnam and whatnot, then they removed that update and it went back to "Mail preparation" in The Hague (with the old date). Now it says "Arrived via USPS Surface", Rotterdam. FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS.

Now another package from the US says "Mail preparation" in The Hague as well, and now I'm scared, lol. What does it even mean? I never saw that status before. It doesn't mean it's here, that's for sure.

My conference folder for job interviews arrived, which technically is a very good thing. I can take my notes and a copy of my CV with me in a way that will look very crisp and professional, but there's somewhat of a stumbling block in that I have no interviews lined up. :/

[BlackCurtains]

As is normal for me, I woke up with a headache and sour stomach, plus my body still aches in general. I'm having some tea instead of coffee, for my stomach.

Aside from all that I'm in a fairly decent mood today so if I can fix up my body to not feel terrible maybe I can get some packing done.

I'm trying to make meals out of what's left in the fridge/freezer before we leave for vacation, but I'm suddenly super picky. I don't want to have to buy a bunch of stuff before we leave.

My partner kicked me out and I'm living with family again. Oh well I should be grateful I have a home at all

I can relate. Lockdown has killed my ability to work on anything academic. Creativity is limited to fanfiction at the moment, too.

It's good to know that I'm not alone in this! It seems that loads of other people have been achieving all manner of things during lockdown and I was the only one who didn't have the energy of focus for it.

And my complaint for today is the excessive humidity. It did rain a little bit earlier and that did take the edge off briefly, but now the sun's out again, it's gone back to being very oppressive and claggy.
