I got mashed last night and forgot to take my medication before falling asleep, woke up at 3am feeling like I was fucking dying. Nice to have a reminder of how unwell I really am underneath all these pills. Didn't get back to sleep and I'm going to have to do today on less than 3 hours' sleep. Just like being a student again, except back then I didn't have important things to do the next day...
 
My buddy's wife made a bunch of homemade ice cream, and she surprised me with 3 pints of the richest, most decadent coffee ice cream (my absolute fav). Today was pretty good.
 
Still cant land a fucking job because most industries involving computer work are dominated by cunts and troons who get off on rejecting people in HR. Especially in entry level jobs if you aren't already a member of their clique since at least conception in the fucking womb these days.

On the bright side, almost finished my 3D model animation and just need to polish it.

In my cheaper to live area people have a hard time filling $15-20/hr jobs, hell sometimes they go months without applicants. There are opportunities out there, but you might have to consider moving to get them.

I did actually.

Typically they were toxic work environments flooded with ex-cons that even if you stay long enough to earn benefits, management will find ways to get rid of you or any worker actually worth a damn.
 
I'm feeling pretty good right now thanks to booting up the VPN again. Fuck the EU and their bullshit ID verification process. As of now I'm located in America.
 
I've been suffering from mild anxiety for a long time now but suddenly it has hit a point where it is completely crippling me, I can't relax because I'm waiting for some unnamed disaster to happen to me or my loved ones; can't eat, sleep or just enjoy anything, keep having panic attacks... Gonna see a doctor in a few days, hope I'll get meds or something, but until then my life is just horror.

On a positive note, it is probably a good thing I'm finally getting help. Should've done that years ago.
 
Weird shit to be posting on the farms about this but idk what else to do at this point and really just need to sperg about this shit.
Last year in October I moved out of my parents' house into a little condo with a friend from college as my room mate. Long and short of it is he's not a very good room mate. He's good about respecting my privacy, but he doesn't seem to give any semblance of a fuck about really basic things like keeping the common space clean, cleaning up after himself at all (even in his own room and the washroom which thankfully we don't share), and being quiet at night. On one hand, he lives a very different lifestyle from me, which is fine. My problem is it's negatively affecting my personal well being. It's very normal for me to wake up due to loud banging and clanging noises because he decided to work out in the apartment at 2am, or loud beeping because he decided doing his laundry at that time of night was a reasonable thing to do. Every time I clean a space, it's dirty the next morning, every time I put clutter away, it's out the next day. It's getting to the point where I really don't want to live with this guy anymore.

Most recently, he's gotten in the habit of waking up at 9am and turning on the air conditioning, because "he's too hot in his room". Thing is it's like 10 degrees celsius on a warm day this time of year in this area. I've asked him why he can't just open the huge window he has that covers his entire wall like a normal person and he told me that he refuses to acknowledge that there's a window there. I'm not kidding, his solution to being a bit toasty in his room in early/mid spring is to turn on the air conditioning. All of his reasoning for things like this is equally absurd. I once asked him why he thought doing his laundry at 2am was a good idea and he told me that he needed clean laundry. Ok fine, but you've been up since noon at least, couldn't you have done it during the day when I'm not trying to sleep? I got the same response about working out at 2am. Best part is we both work from home, and I constantly get little passive aggressive messages that I'm being too loud if I do so much as mutter something to myself out loud, because apparently his microphone is so sensitive that he picks up *every* sound, regardless of how miniscule. However, if I ask for some quiet at night when I'm trying to sleep I'm not allowed to have it.

I'm at my wits end now and I'm starting to consider how I go about dealing with this. I've tried talking to him and gotten fucking nowhere, and my lease ends in November. I'd really like to avoid conflict during these next 6 months but I'm getting pretty sick of this shit. I did the math and I could technically find a new place without a raise but money's going to be tight if I go that route. I've been campaigning for a raise for a while and it looks like things are moving along with that but it's a really uncertain time either way. I just feel trapped here, and don't really know what I can reasonably do besides fucking off as soon as I can.

Had a roommate nearly identical to this. It's way better to spend the extra penny and save your sanity.

Also, the retard could just set his mic to be push-to-talk or manually adjust the sensitivity settings on his pc- he just sounds overall lazy and unwilling to negotiate.

This is what I've been thinking. Only problem is if I don't get a raise I'm going to be stuck in a really shitty apartment.

As for the mic and him being lazy, yeah you're right and I genuinely don't know if he'd be capable of living on his own with how he handles maintaining a space.
