I'm just glad you're ok. I know how you feel believe me. I have accepted there is no help for me and I've just decided to live with myself as is. I've tried everything they have to offer and well I'll never be like the group. I'll be the strange outsider everywhere I go until the end. I'm honestly ok with that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My suggestion is to get a house like mine out in the country where you can live among the animals like me. You would love living in a place like this. Thankyou! I would love to live in the country. I did before I lived here. I've been looking at houses out there online 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're keeping the promise to the pharmaceutical companies to scare us enough to make the shot an every year thing. Poll numbers are slipping right now because they went against the war machine so I figure we'll go to war with someone in the spring to shift the talks to something else. War will be what ends the pandemic. That's my take on things. There's some articles circulating today with a recording of several doctors sitting around discussing plans for "being scarier" to more people to boost people's desire to take the jab. That's called gaslighting, ladies and gentleman. I do NOT trust the medical industry, nor big government. When you combine the two, you have a deadly combo capable of all kinds of nastiness. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APFSDS Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I went for a very long walk today. Potentially not wanting to return. And the only one that cared was a dog that greeted me about 20 miles in... I heard a patter of feet and looked back, it was a large dog. She came up to me and licked my fingers and pressed herself against me wagging her tail. I petted her and told her to go back, she didn't... she followed me for over a mile. At first sneakily then she sort of bounced around when I looked at her ... kinda like showing her territory. This is a mailbox, this is the rock, this is the stick... c'mon sad limping human, life ain't so bad. All the way to the junction and I did actually feel better... dogs are good people. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to think I was paranoid but the longer I live the more I realize everything really is a conspiracy. "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you." One of my favorite bumper stickers of all time. I happen to agree that almost everything is a conspiracy. We are living in a society fashioned by the likes of Edward Bernays. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

user1492 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Woke up early, feeling ready to get going...when I started to move, I couldn't. Just could not work up the motivation to move. So now I am stressing about how much more work I'll have to do tomorrow to get back on track. Questioning if it's even worth the effort 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it called 'Escape to the country' by any chance? I love that show. By the way, houses like that in the UK are only for the mega rich... We don't have much space over here so every bit of it costs about 10 times more than anywhere else Glad you enjoyed the show 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightjar Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 If any one item could sum up my life it would be a suitcase. I'm sick to death of moving but it seems to be my life path and also in my DNA. Night lovely peoples 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epictetus Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 The dreaded dental procedure I feared has been moved up to tomorrow. I am sitting here trying to distract myself while I stew in my own anxiety juices. Laser gum surgery tomorrow and follow up appointments in two weeks and then in a month, another month, six months. I need to be on a liquid diet for at least four days. Am supposed to live on smoothies. Not having tried smoothies, I bought a Ninja food processor blender and have all the ingredients to make smoothies now. I was expecting to have about a month to learn how to do it but I will have to learn as I go now. Commercial smoothies have too much sugar. After all the dental pain I had this year, I am not exactly jumping for joy at the prospect of getting more dental work. Hugs to everyone. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think it may help, why not? Or maybe go home for a bit?? Hugs Thanks nightjar I couldnt make the decision, it feels to big and scary, and I dont know what will happen I don't know if it will help. I told my friend how badly ive been doing and she's called a few times to check on me so thats been nice. Last week I took 20 lorazepam (not at once!) but over a few days.. I sort of almost OD'd but not really. I wasnt trying to, I just wanted to escape me head and my thoughts for a few moments. I have this work application I need to put in and im telling myself once ive put it in ill call the hospital and say I think im a danger to myself so they can take the reigns for a bit.. life is too overwhelming, im not sure if I want to die I dont think I do, im just sad and helpless and scared and I dont know what sort of help I need but know I need it but I cant give it to myself. I can't do it anymore. Ive thought of going home for a bit but my city is currently in lockdown and my mum lives in another city so I cant travel atm. So, another dreary day. I didnt sleep much last night and I keep having nightmares that I cant wake up from and when I do I fall back asleep into them.. they're pretty intense and scary and way to messed up and triggering to describe on here. Im a helpless mess. Also, congrats on selling your house! I hope staying with your mum isnt too dreadful.. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I finally got the dental surgery (thank you covid) I lived on Carnation Breakfast Essentials, cream of chicken soup, mashed potatoes & scrambled eggs for about 2 months. And I still drink breakfast everyday. Best of luck tomorrow. I will be thinking of you. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need the dentist but cant afford it and am to scared of the cost and surgery ill need. Hope it goes well and the smoothy making takes off. Ive found really delicious combinations of fruit and raw veggies (apple + celery + spinach, orange + pineapple were my favorite) when I was going down the path of "raw vegan" a few years ago 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfcaster Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Laser gum surgery sounds less invasive than traditional methods but ouch, any dental surgery sounds uncomfortable, i wish you a speedy recovery, im hoping it's easier then you're stressing over 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
