Best I've felt in a long time, honestly.
 
Had two of my 3 dogs die a few months ago. (natural dog problems that come with age)
Husband says no to new puppy.
Been sad about it.

Also had insomnia pretty bad for a few months. Not fun.
 
Turkish Delight and snow?
Nigga did you find Narnia?
Nothing so grand. We've gotten close to three feet of snow in the last nine days where I live, so lots of shoveling of snow. I have clear out my driveway and most of my street (with my neighbor) so we can go to work. And a shop here always has Turkish delight at Christmas time in lemon and rose flavor, and it is so good. I don't know if I would sell my siblings out to an icy thot for it though.
 
Follow up to a prior post, all that hard work and so far my latest paycheck isn't much different than what I usually mak, but I think I know why. I can't be certain till I check the pay period but it started on the 9th after the last one (which I got this morning) had already closed. So yeah in other words? I won't see that overtime till next week (which also happens to be the Christmas weekend and this week which is also overtime I'm working I won't see till after Christmas on new year's eve.

So my family will either have to get new year's presents or last minute cards with gift cards in them.

Tell them you're doing it Spanish style and celebrating Día de Reyes in early January instead

Not to get in your shit and be sappy but I think you’re stressing too much about getting stuff for them. I know you feel like you’re obligated after they helped you out with your living situation, but your family should see you’re trying your best. Just spending time with them and making new memories could be a meaningful enough.

Thanks, maybe I am stressing things too much in addition to overworking myself...well nothing I can do about the later since I already agreed and signed up for it. Just five more days and then it's a three week vacation....with pay.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
 
think I've posted in here before around this time of year about how busy this time of year gets at work. well, this year is worse.

wear a mask when you go shopping, fellow autists. there's all kinds of nasty shit going around. and I'm tired of 12+ hour shifts.
 
Not great.

So whenever a semester ends I feel really down/antsy, like the world is ending (because a familiar routine is interrupted and I stop seeing the same people), but generally not that bad. But lately I've also been dealing with severe mood disorder anyways. I was on antidepressants/anxiolytics and it seemed to have cured me, but then like everything I do, it just up and stopped working for the most part. So I do still feel better than I had, but the problems have come back in force. It didn't help that it was raining constantly for days.

And while the break has started, I just feel exhausted and no motivation, lay around all day. I still make myself go and do things. People throw around "tough grass" and "exercise" and shit like that, but exercise itself makes me feel tired, come back from swimming and be drained the rest of the day.

I'm also antsy because there's an undergraduate - I'm a graduate student, not far in age from them - that I want to ask out, but I have to wait for the professor to take his sweet time finalizing the grades before I'm allowed to, which is already several days past when we were originally told. And the longer it is past the end of class, the less likely it is that a student's just going to be checking their email.
 
A few years ago a lot of bad shit happened to me right before Christmas including getting dumped. I just got dumped before Christmas again and it feels like it's all starting again. Might neck myself this time bros (in Minecraft). I hope you all get through the S.A.D. again this year
 
Kind of disappointed, everyone in my new uni seems kind of lame. They are all either stressing about exams or are being depressed about them. When classes end they all just go home. They do not have any real interests, they just watch mediocre anime and listen to mediocre music.

Been talking to this girl I am interested in and I am pretty certain she likes me back, but the more I talk to her the more I find out we do not have that much in common. I feel like I will lose interest in her completely before we could even become a couple. It all just sucks
 
Last week of university semester, missed 2 short tests last week (each is 4% of overall grade) because I cut my right thumb pretty bad, cant use a pen. They are both allowing me to take a retake so thats all good. Holding out until I can return home for a few weeks on friday, been away for 3 months, didnt get to see my pets a last time before I left so im looking forward to seeing them again.
 
The winter months of December-February are always difficult for me, but this year has just been a clusterfuck. I’m in an industry that’s losing so many employees and it’s pushing the ones that stick around to their fucking limits. I’ve been spending more of my free time just sleeping and browsing forums. Ain’t got energy for anything else atm.

However I did manage to figure out how to emulate Silent Hill 1 on my PC recently, so that’s been pretty cool.
 
this time of year is hard for me...i have a child who is terminally ill, albeit it is a very slow decline, but every christmas, without fail..my other young child has asked santa to bring his sibling "new legs so he can walk again", and it is almost more than i can stand..BUT we keep going, trying to make the best of whatever time we have left, and honestly this hasnt been a bad holiday season so far, for which i am grateful. all the sad stuff aside, i got my christmas presents early, so im happy about that. :suffering:
