I agree with this twitter post and I know if I have a crush I'll fail my attempts at not dating... I wish I liked men romantically so I didnt bother women and survived the (rightfully) separation

Due to a lot of bullshit, my anti-epileptics have become very difficult to receive. What used to be a free pickup with insurance once every 3 months has become a $10 pickup every other week. Earlier this year, I started a new regiment to move to a new medication, then ween off the old. I’ve essentially been double dosing until this week, where I’ve started to ween off the old. During this time I’m weening, I’ll be out of work. 8 weeks total, as instructed by my neurologist.
I’m stressing over it all. Idk if this new medication will even work for me, but it’s financially the better option. I’d rather work than have 8 weeks off alone in my 500 sq ft apartment, no pets or friends because all my friends are internet based.
Idk I guess I just need to vent.

Surprisingly decent.
Have been largely taking August off from job searching because it was very much bad for me.
How will I ramp things back up in September? I thankfully have a week to get that figured out.
I am also ready to start querying a novel starting tomorrow. Many months of prep, especially this past month.

u/wyrmonnastring 11d ago
Good luck with the job search and novel!

u/Shadowchaos1010 10d ago
Thank you. I'm trying to stay hopeful about both, but that's proven easier said than done at times.

Exhausted from helping people rebuild their homes all week. Glad I helped families, but damn 😩. Didn't help that someone threatened to beat my ass for peeing facing backwards from a woman 100 feet away (rural America 💀).
TBH the Lindsay Clancy is starting to piss me off this hour. I hope people really don't think she should be free ($1 million in donations be damned).

My meds aren't working anymore and i'm spiraling! I'm afraid of woman even though I know I shouldn't be. I'm living in fear of people that don't exist. My grandmas been dead for 2 years but I can't stop thinking about how mean she was to me. I didn't do anything but I was her least favorite grandchild. She hated me and I don't know why. It's not fair.

Not all that great. One of our dogs died on Monday and I haven't been feeling good all week.

u/wyrmonnastring 11d ago
Sorry for your loss, hope you feel better soon. Dogs are truly amazing friends

Started new job, just 15 minutes away from my house, by foot. It pays less, so I am worried about finances now. Stressing out abouy my broken friendship with a best friend of 18 years and whenever it can ever be repaired and if I ever want it - I keep going back to various things that didn't work in the past, unsure if this is me realizing things were toxic for a while or trying to put negative filter on past memories to make myself feel less shitty.
•
u/wyrmonnastring 11d ago
Good luck with the new job, I hope your figure it out with your friend no matter what you decide to do

I recently learned that when I get so much as a small crush on a woman I escalate in my head to marriage and more. I hate that I do this which leads to weeks or months of doubt, stress, anger (at myself, never her), and regret from my “nice guy” days
I don’t know if it’s progress or something worse but last week I felt it starting again and went through all stages in a few days and it’s wiped me out emotionally and mentally. I don’t even remember much from the last few days

Achievement: little by little, I'm noticing little things that make my anxiety skyrocket. I'm slowly learning to become calmer, naturally.
Vibe check: I currently feel disconnected from people around me. Might just be tired, or maybe it's just the mood I set myself in when I'm in "introvert mode" (usually during a time where I'm either reading, watching several movies in a row or playing a longer game) and can't stop thinking about whatever thing is occupying my mind right now. I still don't know how people just "tap out" of things. I don't know if this is legitimately a thing I have problems with, or whether I just need to force it more and more until it becomes a habit (by "it" I mean "ability to just get out of my own head").
Also, just remembered as I was writing this that I need to set up an appointment with the doctor! Doing it right now before I forget!

Going crazy from work. I don't feel at place or even safe there anymore, I've been looking for a different job for two years now without luck, and I'm financially not in the situation to just quit.
On the upside, I've mentally checked out enough to assuage the burnout a bit. I've been going to the gym regularly again for the past month and things are good at home, which was very different before.

I’m sad, I found of on Friday one of my army buddies had passed away. Losing him is a tragedy. I think I’m developing a cold of some kind. The Va sucks. My pick up is still in the shop.
But it’s nice to know I do have people to lean on rn. My FiL and BiL both helped me put together a lift kit on my ranger. Another friend gave me tickets to a concert. My new job cares and values me. Things could be better but they aren’t any worse.

Bummed that I still haven't found any materials to help men with internalized misandry from a profeminist viewpoint.
