Your corgi is out of rehab and feeling great! Staying with my folks until Friday night.

I wanted to make this thread since America has a holiday tomorrow, and ya know, this time of year can fuck you up sometimes.

This is your space to talk about anything cool you have going on, vent, or get some support.

Remember, you are loved stalin-heart

Not a hexbearer myself but I feel the need to puke this out.

Not too great. Materially I'm okay, but the hitlerian pro-colonizer narratives all around me make me go all doom and gloom.

Death to Israel.

Death to Amerikkka.

Inshallah. Hope you find peace.

I should have never come home for thanksgiving. Both my parents have gone full right wing and have been saying that they won’t do holiday shopping in person cause of all the “thugs” that will rob you in the parking lot. Endless dog whistles when they just hate black people. They’ve become completely brain broken by consuming local news.

Other than that I’ve been alright.

Jesus christ, I skipped Thanksgiving this year and I'm very thankful. Will be attending one of my queer friends' family Thanksgiving which should be much... more chill

Big ooof. Sorry you gotta deal with that. Hope the time passes quickly so you can get back to your own space!

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

I've never been more glad that I have the privilege of choosing who is actually my family, found or otherwise, and that I'll be enjoying good times with them tomorrow in place of the MAGA chuds I've disowned from my biological origins.

Just about 20 hours since I last had nicotine. I'm doing okay but cravings are really starting to get at me.

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

You've got this! If you can get past day 3, I hear you're golden after that and it just becomes mental. Here if you wanna talk!

[–] Juice@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Had a paranoid disassociative psychotic break 2 weeks ago, seeing all the doctors, have no chill, and I'm so so so so fucking sober. Its been rough tbh

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Glad you're sober! Im almost on 2 weeks, if you ever need an ear I'm around. Sorry to hear things are rough. Im waiting on a diagnosis too - I did a full mental health screening recently, but might not be able to get the results cause I have no insurance.

Sending love and good vibes! meow-hug

[–] Juice@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

Thanks comrade. I appreciate the offer, good luck on your own journey

[–] ilyenkov@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Executive dysfunction continues to kick my ass. Finishing achool and any hope for a future where I'm not on disability are pretty much out the window.

But I'm in a great, loving romantic relationship and I don't really care about any of the rest of that anymore. So shits good

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hell yeah! I actually asked a FWB out on a proper date today and they were in. High five for great relationships!

[–] ilyenkov@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nice! Congrats!!

I love dating so much :)

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thanks! We've been seeing each other since late september, and while we still see other people, we're definitely falling for each other. The more we hang out, the more we click. She's also SO sweet to me, and is the first person to tell me "you deserve to be happy" in a LONGGGG time.

Hard fucking same.

Learning Russian has been kicking my ass, but I signed up for the next level so hopefully next semester is хорошо, сейчас мой русский очень плохо товарищи. Looking forward to winter break when I can take a breather and just work instead of dealing with both work and school

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Keep it up! Looks like you're doing great!

[–] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

Спасибо! The grammar is melting my mind but I'm tired of being monolingual and want to visit Russia some day (the trans-siberian calls to me!) so I gotta stick with it.

being annihilated by the psychic agony and raw horror of this world

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

The horrors persist but so do we.

I've achieved a state of almost zen depression where I care about absolutely nothing and don't even have enough energy to feel bad about it. I honestly see no reason to do anything or even live anymore.

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

Hope things get better and you find a positive peace. The world is better with you in it.

[–] Beaver@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm doing good. Trying to kick energy drinks, mostly successful... but man, it's annoying how much more tired I feel in the mornings :(

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

Good luck! You got this!

[–] logflume@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

good since i'm gonna quit my job

bad since i have to be around family for thanksgiving

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

Enjoy the quitting, and remember, the family is only for a day. You got thus.

[–] Maoo@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sleepy!

Happy you're out of rehab!

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thanks comrade! Me too! The people who were fresh out of jail and prison said the place was worse than those in a lot of ways. Almost 2 weeks sober and feeling good!

I've been feing hopeful, public workers of my province have been striking, and have been purposely gathering in some city centers, and the general response has been really strong solidarity for those striking. It fills me with hope to see people gather and collectivize, and even be supported by the broader public.

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

Fuck yes! We love to see it!

[–] Judge_Jury@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Pretty good. On one hand, the medical debt continues to mount faster than I can pay it. On the other hand, we're still fed and housed, and I might be getting an ADHD diagnosis. Terrified of ADHD meds because of how often I feel jittery even without caffeine, but they say it might can calm me down so it seems worth a shot

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

I think I replied to the wrong comment with this in another posters comment, but yeah, I might be getting a diagnosis too. No insurance now though, so they might hold on to the results until i can pay.

Glad things seem well otherwise! Hope the meds work! meow-hug

gliding on desert waves of fiery void

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Anxious. Hopeful, but anxious. Even a planned move that's been years in the making under ideal conditions is still moving and moving sucks and a lot can go wrong. sweat

I'll also miss posting here. Going to be too busy, mostly off grid, and I refuse to fiddle with any phone version of this site. avoheart

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Oh fuck, we're gonna miss you too! Good luck with everything! When are you gonna be going dark?

I am doing well for the most part, aside from the crippling fear of defaulting on a mortgage or losing our power. For a while I couldn't find a job, and we had to go on SNAP. This helped us a lot, and was providing around $1000 a month for groceries. We were able to catch up on debts and bills, and didn't have to worry about food. Then I got a decent job (yay) and our monthly SNAP benefits went down to $250 (nooooo). System working as intended, but now we aren't eligible and fell behind after some illnesses and other stuff. Now it's like playing catch up every week, trying to pay the most immediately needed bills (and forgetting the others exist due to stress). I'm happy and thankful for having income now, I just wish it hadn't completely fucked things.

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

Fuck America. Hope you can get on the right track soon. Still looking for a job here, almost 3 months, so I know shit fucking sucks.

First time in my life of internetting where I had a router actually give up the ghost. Had to drop some cash to get a new one.

Since I was buying things, got a wireless card for a PC I was rehabilitating to be a future "video entertainment device" in the living room. Figured since I was trying to make it run a flavor of Linux it was going to be a nightmare... but it installed without a hitch.

Accidently agreed to move to a different office for work because it was 10 minutes closer to home... but forgot to see what the actual hours of pay per week were going to be. If I've done my math correctly... I'mma lost about 150$ a month. obama-sad

Good to hear your doing okay.

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

At least the commute is shorter!
