To everyone telling me to touch grass; thanks, and you were right

School started and like I feel significantly better? I have a significantly lowered need to use this site cause life is too good. Obviously I still have my issues, but I actually want to get on therapy and pills. Instead of being scared of them, it’s actually quite fun contacting my therapist and scheduling appointments and talking to her, knowing it’s getting my life back on track.

Thanks especially to @Dizzyuntildeath for showing me Tiffany, that really scared me straight. Especially since I’ve been in that cycle before but got out when I briefly took my meds and therapy seriously. You showed me how I can ruin my whole life just by trying to be “cool” via rejecting something I need. I’ll think of her every time I think of skipping meds for the day or missing therapy.

Can’t help but wonder if I should switch to a different vet clinic that isn’t so… greedy

I did exactly that when my old vet started the exact same spiel as yours, this upsell shit also made me switch dental practices more than a few times. Simply has no place in a medical enviroment, be it animal or human. Couldn't be happier with the new vet, she's in a low-income area and her prices reflect that (as she told me when i asked her how she's so much cheaper than old vet) and there's low wait times even when coming in as an emergency with no prior appointment.

Creme Puff, the oldest cat in the world with a recorded age of 38 at passing, had her diet supplemented with asparagus and coffee with heavy cream according to her owner, i don't buy that super expensive cat food has any noticeable effect either. Just another grift.

I started college two weeks ago and I'm already sick and tired of it. I don't even know why I put in the effort to make the 45-minute commute there four days a week. It's not because I'm struggling with the material in my courses (I'm doing okay there) but there's no motivation for me to get things done. All of my friends from high school have started doing their own things, and that's only been exacerbated by the gap year I took before starting. I haven't spoken more than 5 sentences during my time there, everybody else already seems busy or caught up with something. I think I'd have more fun staring at drywall, honestly. At least in high school I was able to say there was a light at the end of tunnel, I don't know if I can take 4 years of this shit, staring at the ceiling in the classroom for hours on end.

I feel like I'm already running on emergency power, like the lights in my head have faded to a dull red glow. I'm tired, boss. Really tired. It's not at all what I had expected it to be.

Don't you have any classes you enjoy and find interesting? It's been a while, but I remember I had a few teachers in uni that really captivated my attention. Others plain sucked and it made me hate the subject matter too... Maybe it has something to do with that for you too?

I think my favourite thing in university was joining an extracurricular electronics club. I learned more practical skills there and had more fun than with any of the actual classes. Maybe look for some club that sounds like it does something that interests you.
 
I realized today why I had recently become so enamored with proto-science and mysticism like traditional astrology.

It is because social science is so fucking gay and lame that it is crushing my soul. You have a bunch of boring motherfuckers, each of them proud of how boring they are, spending all day moving numbers around (that don't even correspond to reality) to try to figure out a way to Jew a man of a dollar or show that [insert common sense "theory"] is 95% likely to be correct instead of 92%.

Then, over there in the distant past, Newton and Cardano and Swedenborg and all the other boys are allowed to frolic and have fun living in a world of whimsy and mystery where the Sun does revolve around the Earth because of the force of gravity, but it ALSO is a secret coded message and also the symbolic/poetic manifestation of God's love and this and that and the other. There was no artiste-scientist divide. Science was allowed to be fun and imaginative even if it was also driven by experimental evidence.

Fuck materialism
Fuck social science
I'm going to go eat dinner.

Feel like this thread is mostly kiwi angst so just wanted to say I went to a concert over the weekend and it was one of the most incredible shows I’ve ever gone to. :)

I’ll join you.

Ignoring the thievery, I went to an airshow. We had a blast! Got to climb out of a C-17’s top emergency hatch, which the public generally couldn’t do… shhhhh. FUN.

I miss my old vet (RIP) who was just an old-fashioned guy who did things the old-fashioned way. Current one is wallet rape and the only one within an hour's drive even taking new critters.

A boomstick

TAX EDIT: I've just been feeling burned out IRL. Haven't made it to Church in the past month, work is getting worse (we're feeding less people yet the back of house is having more trouble keeping up). I called out of work today to get my mind right but that didn't help. Just spent way too much on groceries.

Any tips on dealing with burnout besides taking days off? I end up just cleaning and bedrotting.

I unlocked a cheat code, maybe it’ll work for some other folks. My vet - the best one in town - is also an instructor for a prestigious veterinary school. She spayed, neutered, and chipped both my indoor cats and my outdoor colony for free as long as she did it while teaching students. And we’ve known each other for a zillion years, that I do payment plans with her.

Perhaps folks who are near to schools and know some vets are instructors may be able to make a similar crack at it.
 
Been out of work for a minute. Applied to a local place that's a front desk position. Seems simple enough, right? No. Those fuckers had me take a 13 page personality test with agree/disagree shit for ??? Reasons. Some questions included:

"I have never been sad"

"I have never been angry"

"I have no bad habits"

"I have never made a bad decision"

"I have never felt hopelessness or despair"

Now, I concede that I might be an actual retard, but what the fuck? Am I dumb for thinking this doesn't have anything to do with the position? I know I'm not supposed to be honest, but what human being hasn't felt those things, unless they're a fucking bug person? I know that's what they want, but the fact they don't even hide it is insane to me. I've done several of these bullshit little quizzes at this point and I'm so over it. Admittedly, I am one of those spergs who aren't good at lying, but fuck, man. You do all this shit wasting your time doing company astrology just for the chance your resume doesn't get tossed out by AI or an HR cat lady and you ain't even in the interview stage. It's so fucking frustrating. I hate this system. Niggers didn't even list a rate of pay, so it's most likely shit. Everything is fake and gay, and somehow we all just agree to go with it so we don't starve. Christ.

What front desk position is so stressful that the bar for entry is a psych evaluation to see how far you can be pushed before you snap?

Maybe give this one a miss.

No fucking way, this sounds like some of these dumb little online personality quizzes i did out of sheer boredom once, i'd too question why this is included in a job application. Someone in HR probably thought they are super smart for including this.

And some small amount of red wine.
Try make a cat at least sniff wine, you don't even have to let them drink any.
Maybe their general aversion to wine is what prevents their longevity.

Yeah, i actually checked up on Creme Puff's diet after i posted and i got her mixed up with another long-lived cat. Creme Puff's owner pretty much swore on the red wine and it seems he was on to something.
