Does anyone else feel like they're repeatedly being screwed over? Because that's how I feel.

My boss is a d.ick, some of my co-workers are douches, my grandma is slowly dying, my medication doesn't work, no one listens to me, my GP refuses to Dx hyperthyroidism (so I'm underweight + losing more weight + having worse mood swings), my car has a crack in the windshield, my credit card has been compromised, I lost one of my favorite possessions on my latest trip to Europe, Ive been feeling nauseous on and off, and not a single person gives a f***. There are no f***s to be had or shits to be given. I'm too private a person to actively seek out help, but yet, no one IRL asks me "how are you doing?" People IRL are quite selfish.

What about you guys? I think it's good to vent. Please do share.

Blue, I am sorry for all of this. I know that you are not sleeping well. If you could get a handle on that then you would be so much better able to cope with your life stress. I really wish you had a therapist whom you could trust and confide in. Thank you for sharing here. You have a lot on your plate. I hope it helps to vent here.

Sorry you are struggling blue. Just know some of us give a **** .

I'm not repeatedly screwed over: it's just a coincidence that I've been robbed, thrown in jail, prescribed non-functional medicines, committed to a psychiatric hospital, had over $100,000 stolen by mental illness, got tossed out on the streets and became homeless, have been hounded by the cops, and been told by friends that I am clearly faking mental illness because I can talk coherently most of the time.

I think that for revenge I'll make some beautiful art. Or, as George Herbert once said, "Living well is the best revenge."

Never in my life have I've been taken for a fool. On the contrary. Respect and fear.
I've moved from the Great City Of Miami to this dead town of stingy residents, no jobs and a lot of Canadian and German snowbirds. These people pay without *****ing. Let alone barganing.
Problem is I'm trying to be a "normal" person. Like them. And the residents.
In this town, to make more than 10 bucks an hour, you have to s hit Chinese ink.
TG I don't need to work.

Everywhere I go, they see my white hair ( I refuse to be a blue hair) and they treat me like if I was stupid.
Specially dentists and boat mechanics and lawn specialists and tree cutters and buyers of my stuff and, the list goes on and on.
It's a constant fight for a buck. Or many bucks.
Today I've decided to be my sonofa***** self. No more politeness. No more soft talk. I don't know how to be different from what I am.

Thank you blue. Yes, it's good to get your bearings. Mister nice guy is dead.

First action taken. I kicked the Johova Witness out for good. More to come.

So sorry, blue. It all sounds very disheartening.

I've been screwed a whole lot myself, so...I don't know exactly what you're going through, but I kinda --get it--, anyway. In my situation, there was/is a bunch of small town BS, and I'm stigmatized+low-status (thanks, psychiatry), so I'm expected to "know my place in society," etc. etc. etc.

I don't know if its 21st century America or if its just...the 21st century....but people generally don't care about each other, it seems. Facebook friends? You betcha! Just wait until things get the least bit heavy, and...buh bye.

I'm blessed to have my parents. A lot of people don't get that, especially as they get older. Other than that, I have --1-- genuine, real friend I can have a normal, real, human conversation with. Its odd...I mean, its not like we're forever being emotional or whatever, we're just real friends with a real connection, and that seems increasingly rare in modern society.

I have "friends" who are more like acquaintances, and they're OK. There's definite limits to our "friendships," so I mostly don't bother investing a whole lot, either.

Sorry this is happening. :-)

Thanks for that Pirilin! My wife and I were skinny dipping in our pool when Jehova's Witness came up to our house. There was no way for us to fetch our skivvies without them seeing us. Ugh!!! I ended up getting out of the pool, grabbed my towel, and walked over too them and told them we weren't interested. I think they were more embarrassed than anything.

Sorry to hear this, Blue.

Yeah, I've been screwed over royally for most of my life. I'm at the point where it doesn't matter anymore. Things keep happening and I just deal with them as they come. Right now there's a dark spot on my living room ceiling because some cheap builder didn't do the roof right and water got in. I also have a cracked window that I can't fix right now because of funds and the season. That's just the start of it. I have to say meh and wait until I can do things.

I am familiar with the opposite side of things: I have hypothyroidism due to Lithium and I hope (mainly for other reasons, but this one, too) to go off Lithium one day. The DX of hypothyroidism is straightforward: the lab test results. The prescription is Synthroid, a synthetic thyroid hormone. I would imagine that the DX of hyperthyroidism is equally straightforward, but I do not know what the prescription is. Can you post your thyroid test results?
