I saw this and my first thought was: oh no Elmo, that’s not a great thing to ask the internet…
Elmo thinks it’s important to be careful on the internet and only ask appropriate questions. Elmo wants everyone to stay safe and have a positive online experience!
A little better tonight now that I figured out that the problem with my server isn’t the $1000 motherboard, but a $40 stick of RAM.
My boyfriend is getting more and more frequent panic attacks. He’s at the end of his rope. I’m trying to get him therapy, but it took almost a year to convince him to let me sign him up for some. Today they contacted him to schedule an appointment…for a month from now. And he panicked about it so badly that he started sobbing at the end of his workday (while still at work).
He can’t afford therapy, so I offered to pay. Which makes him feel guilty. His constant anxiety is keeping him from getting help for his constant anxiety. It’s only going to get worse. And there’s nothing I can do about it.
I just realized I didn’t directly answer your question: terrible.
You’re doing a lot. Don’t let yourself tell you otherwise. My wife had lifelong GAD and panic disorder that was almost completely untreated for most of her life. Getting help wasn’t easy but, it has literally been life-changing. Getting him help IS also helping you as it is very stressful to be the partner of someone with untreated mental illness.
Make sure to give yourself care too. You can’t help if you’re driven to breakdown yourself. It’s hard and there are ups and downs but it will get better for both of you.
I’m doing pretty good right now. I feel like I’m better than I’ve been. How are you?
That’s great to hear! I’ve been doing okay, things have been up and down for me. Does Adam eat ass?
That’s a real philosophical question there.
On a strike. Early weekend is nice, but loosing money is not.
Hope your union succeeds!
I’m part of the management, so participation is voluntary. My union is not on strike, but is willing to support financially if one feels a need to participate.
Strike is political, so there is no specific group that would gain something.
Our current right wing gouvenment is on the leach of big corporations and is planning to severely neuter the union rights to strike. It’s gonna be a long spring.
Its sad that these types of posts are always accompanied by a waterfall of unwell people.
Everyone is sad and stressed out man, we deserve better.
I’m…one of my big struggles is that I’m on a medication that reduces my appetite to almost nothing, and I eat almost nothing, and I’m enraging my SO by doing so. Everything tastes gross on this. The smell of my husband’s dinner right now is revolting. I can’t seem to get around it. Even junk food that I normally love tastes like wax and dust to me.
I absolutely have to be on it, but holy fuck it’s hard on my life.

Honestly, I’d like to go to sleep right now. But otherwise, I’m excited and ready to fuckin’ go…after a good night’s sleep. Et tu, OP?
Small promotion for !casualconversation@lemmy.world where we have a weekly thread asking people how they are doing.
Also, I know it’s a Lemmy.world community, and they don’t have the best reputation among people on lemmy.ml, so if people would prefer to contribute if they community was hosted elsewhere, feel free to let me know, I’ll see if we can move it to a less divisive instance
Great. I razzle dazzled a couple higher ranked people at work today, and the fruits were that I get to present one of my projects to the top tech brass at our company next week. My new phone arrived. And I have a 2 day LAN party coming up this weekend.
This time last year I would’ve said something completely different but I’m confident to say I’m now doing well. Of course not the best but well
Been worse. Been better, I guess. Most things in life are going apace.
My job is the best paying one I’ve ever had. It’s still barely keeping my chin above water. My skill set normally would command a much higher salary, but the market is shit, and I’ve been holding onto this because of a pension it offers.
But a few years in I see that the increases might not be sustainable if things continue as they are. And I’m not growing much.
I got laid off in early january, however I am getting a good settlement package, and have been to sveral interviews, so far I have rejected one position, and are working on others.
My car has a weird fault where if I drive it for long distances, then park and lock it it can quickly discharge the 12v battery and leave me stranded, getting that looked at next week, right now I feel like I can’t trust it, and keep wondering if it will unlock when I press the button. It is a 2021 Seat Leon so it feels strange that it has this fault so early in it’s life.
So yeah, this is what I am dealing with
Well I started writing chapter 6 in my book. Cleaned up my sister’s place before she came home so I couldn’t work on my book today. And, my dad’s slowly getting better from his surgery and my mom isn’t hurting anymore. So, all in all, a lot better than I was this time last month.
What’s your book about?
It’s about two people trying to find each other after a mysterious, deadly fog rendered the outside inhospitable to people. Odd lights start to appear in the sky, rumors of people made of light, and an otherworldly bell ringing in the air causing some survivors to lose control of their bodies are just some of the obstacles that get in the way of the two survivors trying to reunite with one another.
I like that!
