sober4life Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 (edited) No house is ever going to be perfect. Did I like this house in the beginning no not really. I had to make it my house and my property. I like always having projects around the corner and something to keep me busy. I would rather see potential for growth and change in ways I know how to do than to see something perfect but I'm strange.

I seem to always be drawn to 'a project'. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The strangest thing happens though when its really quiet! I notice that now, almost a flip, lol. in life there is always a trade off, the house I bought here, I only bought because I needed a garage, otherwise I think I would still be renting. If you like the house why not your space, your garden and your peace of mind Thanks for the positivity I am kinda thinking why not.... The only why not I got is that there may be a place which comes up in a much quieter part of this area..... ... But some of those houses in the quieter area are a flood risk. And, if one came up which isn't in the flood risk bit, there is no guarantee I would be able to afford it or get it with today's competition This one being a bit rundown is more accessible. Maybe I'm settling for second best a bit but this is available and suits a lot of my needs. I don't want to be stuck here too long. My current noise phobia is freaking out a bit. But that's what a phobia is about and I'm trying to bear that in mind Edited April 2 by Nightjar 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m trying to get to bedtime by deep breathing and positive thinking. As tough as it is, repeating a few positive phrases is helping me. meditation guided on youtube might be next 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some days all day long there are semis driving by to the chicken farm. It works. White noise can work, though I'd recommend ear plugs. Perhaps not very glamorous, but they do the job for me, even against the leaf blowers under my windows. They reduce the noise sufficiently. Be sure to get the industrial-strength ones with 33db noise reduction. (The package even used to list "shooting" as a use, but this went away, perhaps because of the political climate. "Power tools" and "sleep" are still there.) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esselle Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Well, here I am. Another forum - for depression. I hate this shit. I hate this illness. I hate how it has been weaponized and used against those of us who have it. NOthing I say, or do, will ever be "quite okay", because, well, I'm depressed you see, so nothing I say or do has any real legitimacy in the eyes of other people. Even other people like me, who also have it, will say "are you manic today?" if I post an idea I had, or maybe it was a discovery....because no one in theiir right mind, would ever come up with that, unless they were manic right? Ugh. I hate it. And if you actually did discover something, or come up with a unicque idea, then you must be having a "delusion of grandeur". I hate this shit so much. I want out of this world, at this point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up with this sh*t, walking on eggshells every day. At least I told her I didn't deserve it and left the room I guess. Dear universe, new place to live please? Fingers crossed I get something like a good night's sleep tonight, I've got a good bit of driving to do tomorrow Nite guys Hope your evening has been better than mine. I don’t like angry people shouting at me either. It hurts. Hugs. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sober4life Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 My life story is doing my best every day but my best not being good enough. It's a life spent in quicksand.
