How is everyone feeling? (31)

[anewyear]

Currently hating on someone at work. I mean not in a proper way but, y'know when something is broken and the same hero fixes it again.. I've just sent him a message saying we seem to have a network issue.. he's not acknowledged it (and allegedly not seen it) but what's the chances that the next message will be him saying he's found a problem and fixed it.
Having a bit of an imposter syndrome thing workwise going on at the moment

[Mellie]

Feeling very low and like a horrible.person. currenly seeing home team at the moment , if one more person asks a stupid question I'm probably going to scream.. everyone's irritating me so mucb.

Sorry to hear that, hope it's just a 24 hour thing. I just had the flu but just 24 hour. Lots of. bugs going around….

You're not a horrible person Mellie

[Professor Willow]

Nervous about having a gastroscopy tomorrow

[Dougella]

^ Good luck! Have the lovely sedative.

[anxiouslondoner]

^ maybe you just need your own space, to get away from yourself for a while.

[Ronnie_Pickering]

it's like playing dodge the virus at the moment.

[biscuits]

^ I hear ya, and it’s a game I’m losing I am just getting over that Strep that’s going around. Antibiotics didn’t touch it. I had it for a month, my throat was so swollen it felt like I was being strangled.

[Ronnie_Pickering]

oh crikey a few kids have died of that.

[biscuits]

^ I hadn't realised, that's terrible

[Professor Willow]

Feeling very strange.
On Thursday evening a young lady died in a car crash near where I live, as soon as I heard on the news which village she was from I immediately thought I hope that's not my former workmate's girlfriend.
I just knew it was and now I have just found out that it was her.
I feel awful for him because he is a lovely guy and they also have a young family who are now without a mum.

It's also freaking me out slightly because I have had these kind of predictions before and they are never about something good it's always something awful.

Like on Youtube, just hover over the bar and see what's what, then float into the ether until the next one comes along :D

Just following the instructions at the top of the page, not been here in a while. A lot has changed, I now have an ADHD diagnosis to add to the Asperger's, which I'm not sure is valid now or not, no one's really spelt that one out to me... But at least I'm personally getting a better picture of the many things that make me me and more importantly, the medication that'll fix it

And I still haven't found out what happened to Dust Fairy...

[Appear]

I know it's just an illusion produced by years of recurrent bouts of anxiety/depression, lack of close friends and my general overthinking, but I just feel like I don't really have anyone in real life that gets me or that I truly get.

Like, you'll have similar views to someone on politics but then they'll show you one of their favourite videos on YouTube and it turns out to be some people singing Wicked a cappella. You smile and feign interest, despite the jolting realisation you're living in entirely different realities.

It's all on me, but knowing that doesn't help. Maybe I need to do an ad in the paper. 'Gay man seeks friends that don't like musicals, vacillate between existential nihilism and Waitrose Buddhism, and appreciate a drop shoulder cardigan.'

I'm going to London next week for a day with some others from work and I'm bricking it.
London is a big place with loads of people and I don't like that.
I'll have to get a train there and I've not been on a train since 1997.
I'll have to go on the tube which I'm terrified about because of the thought of bombs and terrorists. I watched a documentary about 7/7 last night.....yeah shouldn't have done that.

Just hope I don't get too anxious

[Ronnie_Pickering]

good luck magnolia, I don't think you have to worry about bombs and terrorists!

I was recently down in London on the train, and apart from one occasion, also my first time catching the train since 1997. Things have changed a bit. But I didn't have to navigate the tube on my own – I wouldn't even know what to do there. Good luck, I was fine though and I'm sure you will be too.

[biscuits]

@Appear, yes feeling a little connection and then feeling a broken connection. I can relate.

@magnolia - that's good that you're going with others so they can take care of the navigation! The good thing about the tube is that you're never on it for too long. I get how you feel though. I try to walk where possible.

So last week I had me one of those baby things. It's preeetty cool so far, I have to say.

My induction resulted in an emergency c-section, and then I spent almost a week in hospital which was one of the worst experiences ever, but we are back now and have our baby and he is perfect so it was all worth it in the end.

[Dougella]

^ Congratulations on your little boy Embob!! Sorry the birth sounds a bit traumatic, give yourself plenty of time to recover physically and emotionally from it

[Percy]

Congratulations EmBob

[biscuits]

Aww! Wonderful news, Em. A little boy!

[Jam do Bronx]

Ahhh congratulations Em, that's amazing.

Congratulations I had the same experience.

Yeah but chances are you'll never bump into the same ones again I've lived in London all my life so it's home to me.

Are you travelling down with work people or meeting them here?

[Percy]

Had the funeral today, very good

Thanks. We're going on Friday. Of all days it's a 2 hour train ride. Traveling back on Friday Eve , I dread it's going to be packed. I keep thinking why am I doing this. But in a way it's something I want to do.

[Ronnie_Pickering]

promising, might have a job. We will see.

[Professor Willow]

^ fingers crossed for you.

I'm feeling crap today and have been for a while.
It would be nice to feel just a little bit of optimism for the future instead of constantly dreading it.
