I don't think your point is justified. The legal system isn't quicker for z-list celebrities. It's the same legal system/processes.

^ yep, that's true. A trial is always has the name of the defendant/s - never the name of the victims.

Hello 4am

biscuits · #**27125** 25th January 2023, 04:15

^ hello! I just woke up because my foot was bent in a funny position and had gone to sleep. It seems to be back to normal now but now I can't sleep!

Ronnie_Pickering · #**27126** 25th January 2023, 08:24

Oh missed you, fell asleep shortly after.
Sounds like you put your foot in your sleeping pattern…!

I think I want to get a pet bunny after we move. :3 I've been looking up different breeds and mini lops might be my choice of bun. Ugh we need to move out already!

Just feels like our life is on hold until then.

You should look into rabbit rescues and rehoming centres, there are often rabbits that need homes unfortunately. Also I think they recommend adopting more than one so be prepared to have a pair of bunnies

Yeah we will definitely check that out! And that's what I hear too. If they're small then that's fine with me. ^_^

^ just make sure you get two of the same sex, or you're going to end up with a lot more than two!

Dougella · #**27134** 26th January 2023, 17:00

^ Yes, because we all know what they breed like......

I've had a really bad period over the last 2-3 months, felt really beaten up by my mind and things got real dark. I think I'm coming out of the other side now, but I find it unsettling. I mean, the last couple of months I have been intensely anxious and it was all encompassing, it dominated my every waking moment, I almost forgot what it felt like to not feel that way, that's how intense it was. But now it feels weird (and good) that it's lifting and I'm hesitant to believe I might actially be turning a corner from the episode, waking up in the morning and not feeling anxious feels shocking to me, like I'm still scanning my mind for danger just in case there is a worry that I've missed. My brain can't even let me enjoy coming out of this crisis without making doubt whether it's real and warranted.

biscuits · #**27137** 26th January 2023, 21:22

^

this happens to me too. I go through weeks of general anxiety and it's one repetitive worry/thought that is always there and it's like I can't escape it ever. I fall asleep so easily because it's wiped me out from being all consuming in the day. Then wake up at 5am when it's had enough rest to begin a new day of being forever there. It's so hard to go about every day life because it's always there. And it doesn't matter if you talk to people about it, it doesn't want to leave.

Then, like you, I wake up one day and at some point in the day I notice that it's gone. It's like a parasite that drops off one day and you think, "where did it go?" but you don't know where it's gone so you don't know when it will come back.

General anxiety with repetitive/obsessive OCD thoughts are the worst combination. Like drinking orange juice after just after you've brushed your teeth.

Glad you're coming out of that cycle. It's exhausting and it's stressful.

Thinking about dressing up as a dog and paying someone to take me for a one way visit to the vets.

Yeah, you've nailed it. To me, the weirdest thing about it is that suffering intensely like that, after a while you become sort of comfortable with the distress, almost used to it, and when you come out of it, the feeling of waking up in the morning without the dread and the dark cloud feels so unfamiliar. And then there's the realisation that you know that you inevitablbly will go back to that dark place again sooner or later.

How to use a Victorian picture rail. Going to hang some album covers pictures on my newly painted walls to break up the greyness. My 'new' flat has Victorian picture rails so I may as well use them as they were designed.

How to leave the house this weekend.
I mean I know how to leave the house ("as I found it") but where to go and what to do. I know I need to get outside for my own sanity, but I can't believe that I find it so difficult to even imagine finding something that even holds my attention for a short time.
Maybe I need to just disconnect from everything.
I really struggle to keep myself entertained, amused or even distracted. It's like everything is just unfulfilling. The main problem is the loneliness of it all, it drains the purpose out of everything. But being with people or around people is not the solution, and doesn't help. I don't even know what I need, but I need something to make life bearable right now.

Jen. · #**27143** 28th January 2023, 11:03

^ I never know this either... when I got my car I started compiling a list of places to visit for a walk around that I hadn't been able to get to before, but every time it comes to it I look through and just can't be bothered. One big old house with some fields and trees around it is the same as any other. Walking around them I always wonder how it's supposed to be interesting and enjoyable, and if everyone else there is getting something out of it or also thinking about why they bothered going (and decided simply because it's "something to do"). I don't even where there is to go or what there is to do besides that, everything just seems boring.

Yeah, sigh, I know exactly what you mean there. I feel like that more as I get older too, it's hard to summon the will. More often than not I'll just tinker with my hobbies and interests, but rarely go anywhere or particularly do anything.

biscuits · #**27145** 28th January 2023, 17:01

I'm the opposite and find it difficult to be at home. I just want to go out and be doing things because otherwise I get ants in my pants or find something to get down about. A lot of the time it's who you're with. I can go to the most boring of places (on paper) with my sister and we'll have a good time because we just do. When I go to places on my own I still have a okay-ish time and quite often random strangers start chatting to me, which I don't really like haha because it feels really awkward and I don't know if they want me to have a long one with them or just that brief momentary exchange. But yeah, having someone you can enjoy the moment with is key. I'd be lost without my sister.

The Devil, Probably. · #**27146** 28th January 2023, 17:54

Most of human life after the age of 25 is just going through the motions/ finding the next distraction to keep life going, out of habit or necessity maybe, but there's nothing new to see or anything purposeful to do, or much left of life at all really - only variations on the same o'.

Last time I went abroad I found myself looking at life through a camera realising I might as well have stayed at home and looked at my bathroom wall instead. It's all much the same. But I went through the motions, ticked the boxes, because habit dictated it.

At a certain level of magnification life itself is inherently limited and disappointingly paltry, with a cigarette paper dividing the greatest experience one could feasibly have from rolling out of bed and staring at the ceiling all day. How often is life actually any good? Rarely. There just isn't that much worthwhile about life, nor being alive, we are just so many bugs scuttling about on the earth but with brains too big for our own good, but we've constructed a whole pro life narrative and a system of stuff and people that endlessly shovels its distractions at our feet to take away the sting.

^ You may have missed your calling as a motivational speaker, TDP.

biscuits · #**27148** 28th January 2023, 18:16

^^ you and I could experience the same thing and experience it differently. personality and temperament comes into play as well. I find excitement and joy in little things. I like new experiences and learning new things. Maybe sitting low on the intellectual scale helps

. (I mean me, not you!) I feel like I constantly need to be stimulated.

biscuits · #**27149** 29th January 2023, 09:12

^ is the meet up a regular thing? It might help to keep going and building up familiarity. It could be that you haven't spoken to the person there that might be the one to make you feel at ease and help you to unlock. I always feel like I'm locked and not many people have the key to open me. I'm not sure if that makes sense or just sounds unintentionally kinky.

anewyear · #**27150** 29th January 2023, 09:56

^ and ^^
I've gotta say that you two are amongst the most engaging people on here with a wicked sense of humour and dry wit. Biscuits I reckon you're right about the unlocking, sometimes it's about finding people on the same wavelength and I guess the more people you meet the more likely that is to happen. Easier said than done though, it's the sort of thing I should really be pushing myself for as well.
