I'm hanging in there. I'm in basically the worst physical shape of my life, and that is primarily due to poor eating and a lack of exercise. I can remedy these things, and I suppose I will, but it's almost impossible to summon the energy just to get going. My writing is going poorly as well, and I doubt I'll ever finish this novel, much less succeed in getting it published. I feel like I'm just running the clock out on the rest of my life, whether that's forty days or forty years. I have my vacation coming up, I leave on the 19th, but I'm not optimistic it will help much.
I am also considering withdrawing from my online friends. It just feels like none of them really like me. I'd rather just withdraw from everyone for a time. I've got some books to read on my trip and afterwards, hopefully they will sustain me for a bit. Last edited by 3rd rock; Jul 07, 2025 at 04:20 AM. |

I know how you feel. Except when I go over to my mom's for Sunday dinner, any time I spend not working is time spent alone. Sometimes I look back on my twenties and wonder exactly when it all went wrong, as if to pinpoint some spot I could go back to and not turn out so lonely, but that just makes me feel worse. I don't know if you have any pets, but I have some birds and their companionship and affection is a lifeline for me.
Apologies for the double post. |

I'm abnormally tired. I think it's the heat, but I fear I'm a little depressed.

I'm sick. Nausea. I had a cup of hot chocolate, like I do every morning. I threw it up. I can't eat. I feel general malaise. I don't think I'm depressed.

This morning I was still sick and couldn't eat. This afternoon I'm much, much better. What a relief! I think it was all from withdrawal. I take an opioid pain killer, and I had run out ahead of when I should have. At least, I'm not depressed, which would have been a worse problem. Just got my Vicodin refill, so I should be fine tomorrow.

I woke up sick again. Real nauseated and perspiring. Then I threw up black stuff. I had a bleeding stomach ulcer in 2022. Looks like I've got it again.
At least I'm not depressed. Nothing feels as bad as depression. I healed up in '22. I'll heal up again. |
