How is everyone feeling? (31) - Page 881

Appear · #**26401** 27th September 2023, 23:29

Very bored... and fairly constantly for the past few weeks. I get out and about, have interesting books, games and other things going on, have nice holidays and trips but it still isn't enough to keep me entertained for very long. I definitely think I came with dissatisfaction baked in. I think it's routine. I'm not sure we mix.

Yeah, being on the smartphone is a life saver in those social situations.

Thanks

Isn't it just!

Tubbs · #**26403** 28th September 2023, 16:02

Nice one Mo, that's a huge achievement!

Eee, I've got a horrible cold. I feel like my throat has been sandpapered!

Percy · #**26404** 28th September 2023, 16:33

Get well soon Tubbs.

Dougella · #**26405** 28th September 2023, 17:38

Hope you feel better soon Tubbs

Mo34 · #**26406** 28th September 2023, 17:41

Thanks Tubbs

Hope you feel better soon

Same! I woke up at 3am like I haven't had water for a year or something.

I've got snot crystals round my nose too, like being 10 years old again.

I get ya - same ol' same ol' can be nice but also a bit tiring. Maybe you've been trying to fill your time with too much of the same things and it's all a bit safe/familiar without a new mental challenge?

How's the new job going?

^ Yeah and you just know he'll get away with it.

Indeed, such is our rubbish justice system.

It's heartbreaking isn't it

The tree had been standing there for around 300 years and then, just like that, some horrid 16 year old kid destroys it and for what reason

I wonder if it was a 'prank' that he was planning to show on social media?

@ Mo Well done, it sounds like you had a great time! You've come along way since the first Away Day

I'm feeling depressed and agitated and know that I need to make some major lifestyle changes for some things to improve but anxiety and fear is constantly standing in my the way

BFG_ · #**26415** 29th September 2023, 08:20

Amazing the tories have been ****ing our country up left right and centre for 13 years doing far worse things ecologically speaking...one 16 year old kid chops down a tree and the entire country is outraged just because the tree looked pretty in some photos and a film.

Percy · #**26416** 29th September 2023, 09:09

I medically need a cup of tea but don't have any milk

Dougella · #**26417** 29th September 2023, 09:28

^ Can you have tea without milk?!

Because there's no blowback.
Be outraged about the tree barely anyone will disagree and virtually everyone will be on your side. It's a very safe outrage.
Talk about the the destruction of public services over the last 13 years and you risk disagreement, arguments, animosity and potential ostracism.
Brain defaults to the route of least emotional impact. Primal survival mode.

Dougella · #**26419** 29th September 2023, 12:15

^ Yep. Also the tree is very obvious, the Tory's destruction is more stealthy.

BFG_ · #**26420** 29th September 2023, 12:22

^ stealth? https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-new...d-29488996.amp

Dougella · #**26421** 29th September 2023, 13:53

^ Not for people who read media like the Mirror obviously, but in general stuff like that doesn't get reported.

anxiouslondoner · #**26422** 29th September 2023, 14:37

Got a bad cold that hit me in the last few days but it seems to be on its way out again.

yeah think there's an overreaction on the tree. Jeremy Vine show was a nightmare today, a 1 hour moan about the tree, and everybody's treasured memories about the tree.

Blah

Blackflies · #**26425** 29th September 2023, 19:38

Another day, another migraine. I’m actually not in a bad mood but it’s very difficult not to snap at others when it feels like a little person is stuck in your head thumping your skull with a tiny little but very powerful Thor hammer. I like to imagine he looks something like Hugh Grant does in the new Willy Wonka film. That cheers me up a little. I have so much tidying too do. I’ve let things slip and my room is as chaotic as my head. My pillows feel like rocks because head is so sensitive. Too high, remove one, then too low. Too hard, too soft. Lights off, eyes feel strained, lights on, can’t take it. Oh what musical chairs. I also managed to burn my foot and the blister has been itching like mad, just to add insult to injury. But apart from that, I’m good.

biscuits · #**26426** 29th September 2023, 19:43

^ ouch! Do you get them regularly? I've only had one once and that was quite enough, tyvm.

Hope it eases up. This feels like the most and least appropriate smilie:

Percy · #**26427** 29th September 2023, 20:37

When you're done blackflies, you can tidy my flat

Mo34 · #**26428** 29th September 2023, 22:02

Better than earlier. I seem to be in the grip of fluctuating depression. Have had a soak in the bath which has made me much more content.

I booked my trip to Northants

non refundable so I guess that's one way to make me not back out, lol. It's only for 3 nights but I'm not going to enjoy the travel. It's depressing doing these things on your own too.

Laurel · #**26429** 30th September 2023, 01:47

Though good on your own as you can choose your own iterinary. It’s always good going back to where you grew up.

I’m chuffed- saw a full grown fox 20 mins ago. Never even knew foxes visited there. It was being pursued by a cat.

Mo34 · #**26430** 30th September 2023, 19:18

^ Yeah that's true. I've meant to do it for a long time, think it might be a bit of an emotional rollercoster ride tho!

Lol pursued by a cat, oh dear!

--------

I'm feeling tired only myself and one other at the sanctuary and she had to go early as her daughter is unwell. So I did most of the work. Two of the five kittens are going tomorrow so I spent some time with them after i'd finished. I will miss them
