Is there something bothering you right now?

Just doing a quick check-in with everybody.

Is there something that's bothering you right now? How can we/you make yourself feel better?

Lack of energy always bothers me. So far no pill, exercise, amount of sleep, diet, schedule changes or any of the umpteen other things I and my docs have tried has worked. You'd think after 28 years it wouldn't bother me anymore but it still does. A nap would make me feel better but sadly work frowns on me sleeping for some reason

Hm... do you drive to work? Could you take a nap in your car? Sometimes I do that during my lunch break! I get an hour's worth of sleep.

I wonder if caffeine could help, too. Caffeine is a miracle drug for me.

I do drive to work but here we have a working lunch. I'm the 3rd shift manager at a gas station so there's no one to relieve me for my lunch or breaks. I clock out but if someone comes up I have to clock back in to wait on them. Also not allowed to open the doors between the hours of midnight and 6am. But a car nap does sound wonderful

Caffeine even in large doses doesn't seem to do anything for me. I've also tried those energy shots and ephedrine pills and nada. So far what's kept me awake the most is water. IF you drink 100oz of water over an 8 hour shift you constantly have to pee. IF you constantly feel like you gotta pee then you aren't falling asleep I've got to be the best hydrated person on the planet

I am in a process of a long separation and divorce and haven't seen my kids in months. I compensate with a betta fish. But still keep depressed and I have to work with some guy that is just a pain in the *** who just complains about how he is better than everyone else.

Yeah, my brother who moved here in June for a job is possibly going to be moving again. Apparently he's not happy here which makes me unhappy because I'm the one who told him about the job to begin with. I feel like I failed him because he packed up and moved halfway across the country thinking this would be the greatest job ever and I guess it's alot tougher than he anticipated. I am sad at the thought of being alone again, but at the same time I'm trying to be supportive. I don't necessarily want to live with him, but having him in the area would be nice because otherwise I feel like I have nothing, when it comes to family anyway. I really only have 1 true friend and the rest of them are more acquaintances that I just hang out with. Oh well *steps off soap box*

The fact that my brother and I have not spoken to each other in years.
It bothers me every day.

That I'm not working, my volunteer job won't hire me yet and our finances are shot to the point that we might not make rent this month.

I'd stepped up to help my mother when my stepdad passed (5 years ago now) and still help her-- and my sisters have not talked to me since. They are angry for some reason, won't explain why, won't return phone calls, texts, email, etc.

It's all so weird, as they obviously do not want to help our mom. There can be no resolution, as they won't tell me why they are upset, which leads me to believe they aren't very proud of their reasons.

I cannot/will not forsake my elderly mother just because they punish me if I help her.

Sad for me and for my mom, too.

That it's turning into this huge hassle to get on state insurance.

I mean... I need it. NOW!!! I don't have time for all this miscommunication ********!

That my BF had me set the alarm for 7 am to "do a big job before it gets hot". Alarm went off, he blew it off, rolled over and back to sleep. Well, guess who couldn't get back to sleep? Yeah. It happens virtually every single time he "wants to get up early". Really annoying.

What to do? Read up on a bunch of stuff online (on phone) while lying in bed. Now it's 10:30. Guess I'll get up and do something.
(At least somebody is! Grrr. )

Ex boyfriend may come get some of his stuff today. I really need to keep my emotions in check. Reality of us breaking up is catching up with me😭

I'm tired but I can't go back to sleep. Just sitting here yawning and with my eyes watering. Ugh.

That I ODed and ended up in IP only to get out and find my bf wants to leave me for good. I begged him to give me one month of no drinking and meds to work myself out. Everyday I wake up worried that his bags will be by the door

I'm worried because my dog is having a hard time recovering from her dental cleaning on Friday. I could never be a nurse. Every time my dog is sick it's a crisis for me.

I'm noise sensitive today. My son went from shooting clacking toy guys, to playing the harmonica, to playing the guitar with a damn pick. Like right next to me. Help.

unrequited love

I don't exist, nothing exists, it's all superficial reality, a computer simulation...

I am feeling very lonely and lost in the world. Trying to rebuild my life at 40 but I am not sure if I have the health to accomplish what I want. Gave up photography as I am not confident enough to work with people. Now I am doing Literature and writing but I struggle to remember things and come up with ideas to write about. Finding it hard to make friends and I live alone.

Yes, there is something that's really bothering me, and I have to make it through three more days. I usually see my therapist on Mondays (today) but he's not working today so I won't see him until Thursday.

I have some really intense feelings and fears going on about my therapeutic relationship, based on some old crap from my first really crappy therapist mixed in with some present stuff.
And I can't meet with him for 3 days to discuss it.
It's starting to interfere with my sleep because it's bothering me right now.

My plan is to spend the next 3 days watching TV - except that I just checked my calendar and I have to take my toddler to the dentist tomorrow morning and now I'm trying not to cry.

YES. I am utterly heartbroken at the way lots of humanity treats each other and the other organisms that also inhabit this planet. The greed, ugliness, selfishness, and hate that our species regularly creates causes torture and suffering for others. I wish so much that I could rescue the animals and people that need it, but the numbers are so high that it's impossible for me to do it all. So how am I supposed to choose who is the most worthy of being rescued when they all are?!?! I wish I could do the suffering for them all. I'm not made for the harshness of this world.

Oh yes...

My sleep keeps getting broken up. I get like 3-5 hours of sleep at once. So, I end up sleeping at night for a few hours, then taking a nap during the day. Then I'm grouchy!

I have to keep partially skipping out on work because I need a nap. f***

My boss is pissed at me, too, and I'm about to get my quarterly review. Baaaad timing.

I have been waiting about 3 months to see the kidney dr about my kidneys. I was referred by my dr. I am leaking protein and its getting worse. A couple new labs weren't too good. Well we called them again in hopes of knowing when I might get an appointment.

They said they are backed up 500 patients deep and hope to schedule me an appointment by the end of the year! I really hope my kidneys aren't too bad because that's a long time. They only have two drs on staff and they only spend one week out of the month in the clinic, the rest of the time they spend at the hospital.

I would like to know whats going on with this because it gives me anxiety all the time. My pdoc prescribed me klonopin yesterday to help deal with some of this.
